Task pipelining

Yes it seems to. I like when that happens anyway :-)

I.e. if you have a series of quests, and you start a subsequent quest for a different character as a normal task, when the first character's quest completes, the second character's task, which will now be partly or fully completed, will count towards the second task, provided obviously you've not already clicked the 'complete' button on the second task.

Yes, it does work. I was doing a Kent Brockman task and had set the long broadcast. It finished right after he was done and it counted for the next task without waiting!

I've heard that this works for the Kent Brockman 24-hour and Channel 6 News 16-hour broadcasts... but does it work for any other combinations? Generally it seems that the next quest in a line won't be triggered until the one before it completes. So say you have a quest that requires Homer to do something followed by Lisa needing to do something, the quest bubble prompting Lisa won't pop up until after Homer's quest is finished... at least in my experience. Have others found this not to be the case?

Hi, I built the family practice but I can't unlocked the hospital. I will be grateful if someone could explain what triggers the hopsital guest.

yeh it works except for when theres dialogue, so just say u had that character doing the task, and then u clicked on the character to collect the reward.
Then the quest thing came up and there was dialogue, it wouldnt work. Which sucks.
