    They will cross over grass, pavement, and water to get to another road. They don't respect dead ends or gaps. Because of that, you can't trap them on an island.

    Maybe EA have done this on purpose as people had them trapped in certain areas :) IMO it a glitch for sure :lol:

    One thing you can do if you have missing characters wandering around that you can't find is:
    1. Hit the move button
    2. Hide buildings and decor
    3. All of your characters light up like a Xmas tree as they are the only bright item left in the town.

    Haha, truthfully I do too. I send everyone on 4 hour tasks, login an hour later to collect on some houses and there's moe just standing there.... And it's always random characters so I don't think it's a glitch with specific characters, but there s always one I miss and I don't get it. :lol:

    Yeah... Prior to the Valentines update, there were A LOT of crashes & there were several things that seemed to contribute... A). Lots of land. B). Lots of decorations. C). Concentration of characters. D). Friend multiplier... I think that by allowing free roaming Simpsonites, they have freed congestion, along with other fixes... I have decorated more than ever, am maxed on land & RARELY crash, whereas I used to have to put things in storage to log in or get any Simpsons on task.

    What I find stranger is that they often times are walking parallel to a road as if they are walking on the Next "grid" over. Fortunate for me my town wasn't big enough back when those glitches from size and too much decor.

    What drives me crazy is the way my kwikemart is set up; When everyone is done with the one hour task, since the road behind the building is the closest, they walk right though the building and the wall behind it. :hunf:

    Yeah when they walk on water makes me laugh. I still wish for the menu and assign task because I always miss someone it feels like because they like to smoke in the back of the building.

    It makes me mad when they disobey my plans and walk wherever they please. I am their god and ruler, and they should follow the walkways I have laid out for them.
