Legs one hour task glitch.. Is ea aware?

bobbysharp10

It is a well known glitch.
I experienced it around VD and posted about it. Forum members told me that it has been around for some time now.
So EA does certainly know about it.

My town has always done that. Annoying because since its two characters doing a one hour job, I lose money. Now I put everyone to do one hour tasks and make legs and Louie do a 4 hour task.

I was wondering about this myself its kinda annoying. I end up just sending those 2 on 3 hr quests instead.

This gets me all the time. Now I just make sure to move stuff around when they are between tasks. When I get around to the grand re-design I keep meaning to start I will keep them on longer tasks.

I had that problem a year ago or so, when their level came out. Got stuck on the questline, and had to use donuts on a quest for the first (and last, I hope) time ever. Not many, but still annoying...
OCD is a neat disease

Same thing would happen to me. I just learned not to do any town editing while they're on their 1-hour task. It used to annoy me but once you learn to work around it, you forget about it.

I thought this glitch had been fixed ages ago, shame it has started again for some of you Least it just the hour task and not something like a 8hr or longer task

I think EA 'fixed' it by allowing the task to occur even without the existence of a river next to them. It seemed that some time ago, Legs and Louie had to walk around to find a river to do their job, but now they can just do the dunking anywhere. EA might have fixed the need to locate a river, but could have introduced another terrain bug in the process.

When it first happened and it was part of a questline i had to rush it with donuts to get past it, but i myself thought it was fixed.

I am having same issue ... Put them on task and then the next thing I know, they are walking around. I guess I'll do longer tasks. I also don't have a river right now though ... But they do the dunking anywhere.

I found out the other night that the same happens with Shauna. I put all my characters on 8 hour tasks and extended a few roads. After i was done Shauna was still wondering around as if I never put her on a task..

Alright so this isn't too much of a rant, just an annoying glitch (that never used to happen) but anytime I do the legs/Louie one hour task and try to edit my town, if I delete or add any type of terrain (water, gravel, grass, tiles) the task ends (with out a pay out no matter the time) and they just end up walking around. Very annoying as I usually do one hour tasks all around when I edit my town. Has this been discussed? Is anyone else experiencing this? Its slightly annoying to my small OCD problem!

I hear from this forum ea is fixing a lot of glitches this next update, I don't care about most of the other ones (save the wrong town log in) except this one! Normally I don't complain but I don't like wasting a task while I edit my town. I just want ea to be aware since before christmas this never happened.

HAPPENd to me countless times. Never realized it was triggered by editing your town thoigh. It's very annoying!!!

I dont have this issue with Shauna as i use the 8hr task and 24hr for her

no glitch, you NEED water to do task, if you delete the water the task stops.. you need water to drownd jonny tightlips

lolreallynext

if you delete the water first then you cant even start the task

It's weird though even if you don't touch the water they stop

I don't have it either when i use her 8hr but recently I keep her and yes guy on the 24hr tasks

Something similar would happen to the Burns/Smithers joint 1hr task as well. Maybe because that requires roads?

In some ways it makes sense that tasks that rely on something that might be edited out completely are stopped just in case... but it still sucks. It's lazy programming if they can't find a way around it.

i mean its jus a game.. call of duty has all kinds of glitches where you can hide and kill everyone.. its normal

I remember mentioning this task pro lem a while back! It never used to happen before but then the end of Xmas came and for some reason it happened a lot. Started to get annoying. I thought they had fixed it, obviously not
