Get your Gingerbread Simpsons off their couch - they break neighbour taps !!

I just came across the weirdest tip, but it really does make a difference.
While it won't help you, you can help your neighbours if you have the Gingerbread Simpsons sitting on their couch.
Visit any town with them on the couch and there's nothing to tap.
Tap the couch in your town to make them scarper, leaving just the couch ( you don't even have to store it ) and suddenly they'll have buildings to tap.
I have no clue why such a simple thing would cause such a drastic glitch, but it does. I've got two towns running on two devices so I've tested and tested.
Hopefully EA can figure out why, but in the meantime you can help your friends.

Knowing what is only the start though, they now need to work out why it causes the problem and then they can try to figure out how to fix it. That might not be straightforward.
Meanwhile everyone . . .
Help your friends and get those Gingerbread Simpsons off the couch.

AFIK Alissa at Addicts checked and it does help
- Scroll up to the top of this (or any) page.
- Find the Envelope.
- Tap/click it.
- At the very top you'll see "Inbox New Message". Tap/click New Message.
- A new message page will open. Start typing the name of the neighbor you want to communicate with in the Recipients box. If it pops "No Results" under the Recipients box you can't communicate with them.
- You can send the same message to up to 5 people.
Type a message and hit "Post Message".But remember: it isn't just the Gingerbread Couch that's the problem. I refer you back to my Answers post for more info. Another big issue is that some items can't be placed in the Heights, and I don't have the complete list.
The only thing I changed was the couch.
No-one sitting on it = buildings to tap for neighbours.
Gingerbread Simpsons seated = nothing for neighbours to tap.
No other item was added, removed or changed. Not one.
It's worked for everyone I'm aware has made this one simple change.
Springfield Heights issues would probably be better dealt with in a separate post to this.
For those who read this and understood it and still left those cursed Gingerbread Simpsons sitting out in plain sight despite knowing the havoc and heartbreak it would cause to all those you invited or accepted as neighbours I say this - how could you !!
I bet you're the kind of people that leave Side Show Bob on a one hour quest constantly, and revel in his being repeatedly whacked in the face by a rake
Yes can confirm. I have three towns. Changing the gingerbread sofa was the only change I made and it worked. Some people are just salty that they worked on the problem and didn't find the solution.
I've tweaked the title a little, good idea @1EllieG7294
