I wish there were a way to move characters to a specific part of town
There are some characters who I like to have in certain parts of town as their animated task just looks really cool there. But it seems there is no way to move a character to a specific point. I just have to wait until they get into that area and then activate the desired task.

i.e. move Moes bar where you want him to be.....send Moe on a job there....after job move bar back?
I have a little trick, but it doesn't work with every character. Put the character on a job that sends them to a brown house, move the brown house to the area I want the character in, store the brown house. Tada!
But again, doesn't work on every character. It's also a lot of trouble unless you really want the character there.
While we’re at it, how about an employment button for visible tasks only? I’d like to see all my characters at once without having to task all 300plus individually!
1. Set them to task in a building, then move the building to where you want the character to be. Put down one or two lengths of road. Then either store the building or wait until their task ends. The character will stay by that chunk of road. Put the building back. Set character to visual task. They will be right where you want them to be.
2. If the building can’t be stored, then you have to force the character to move. They will go to the nearest road. Find the character and put a square of road by it. Put 1 square of road down in the direction of where you are targeting. Remove the first bit of road. The character will go to the new bit of road. Repeat until the character is where you want it to be. (This works with NPC’s also) As long as there is no closer road, they will stay where you want them. I’ve had Maggie crawling around by the play-dough factory forever. I set her to her 1879 task and she is available when her bead pops up over the factory.
The Wiccans are like the street sweeper (and others) they LOVE the dirt roads.
Hope this helps!!
You would probably tag them if you could
Family Guy TQFS has this feature so it's not impossible.
Thanks @daved7637397 I have a dirt road system in my zoo (in all my games) and in one game the Wiccans are indeed hanging out there. In the others though they keep wandering into my congested industrial areas when I would rather they be in the park
No problem. Happy to help! I hope it works for you.
that game is way simplier and built with it included and having squares specificly added with that in them or something. impossible probably the way tsto is
I was wondering, as I remembered they pointed out the character movement, like it was some special deal in the game, but it's been so long since I played it as I dislike TinyCo's game model.
