Idea for finding your Springfieldians.

DukeEsqIII

This would be nice. Truthfully, anything that would make checking on a character's status easier, would be welcome. As my Springfield is getting bigger, it's getting easier for me to miss a character that is done with a task. It's even easier not assigning a task to an idle character. For the time being, even though it makes my town look worse, I have a limited amount of roads. This makes it easier finding the characters that are roaming around, doing nothing. I'm not happy with this workaround, but it'll have to do for now.

EA could probably do this fairly easily with all characters not currently on a task. A designated street could be used that would be the same for everyone. Though I'd throw that out there and see what y'all think.

I know I have 49 characters that I can send on tasks, I just count how many on already on preset tasks by the bar on the left, and then count as I'm going along....

I'd lose my place too much for that!

I really hope they implement something like this soon. I think it would make the game more enjoyable for everyone.

Sometimes I do! Especially if the fianc? starts talking, darn distraction! ;-)

Sometimes it feels like I must have lost count as I can never find the last one.... But persistence helps, they are hiding somewhere!

I have posted this before which i think is a much better idea for finding your characters.

You should be able to click on each person in the Character Collections menu and have it jump to them in the town. I'd imagine it'd be pretty easy to impliment.
