All my people who can be sent to overeat have been sent to go on that task. However nobody can seem to find a restaurant. They are all walking around Springfield like they have somewhere to go, but they never get there. When I click on them, they show the task bar. Hopefully in 8 hours when the task is done they will all clear with no problems. In the meantime I have a very active Springfield for the next 8 hours.

They stop to eat but only for a few seconds, then they haul **** to the next restaurant. It does appear that they are just mindlessly roaming.

I thought the same thing, i'm currently on that task as well, and thought it was a glitch since everyone was walking around.

Well DOH, look at that. At least they are getting some exercise.

Looking at it, Zesty's seems to be getting very little business, and there is no love for the Frying Dutchman at all. That May because they are on the edge of town.maybe they are not getting as much exercise as I thought. Why am I watching them walk around?

I thought it was a glitch at first too. Then when I realized walking around was the task, I thought it was pretty cool. Now I wish we had more tasks like that in regular play.

I just finished that task today.they all ended up at different restaurants and diners. I had to laughthe Rich Texan ended up at Skip's Diner and Frink ended up at The Flying Dutchman. I am wondering why Rex Banner gets left out? He always eats at the Nighthawk Diner.
I just started the "Shop For Loved Ones" task..several of my characters walk back and forth several times before going to their destination. They really are lost! Just a side note: They should have Snake "shoplifting for loved ones".

This is where the character locator really comes in handy.

My guys had the same problem, but now today they don't know where to shop

I haven't reached it yet; But pub crawls are popular in NYC. You go from place to place to sample the wares.

Pub crawls while dressed as Santa are also very popular. Clearly around Xmas. Other times of the year you just get strange looks.

This specific quest was a pain to finish, as the characters are walking around spastic and if I went to tap them, I'd end up tapping a building or whatnot. I like when they are all stuck in one building with 60+ thumbs up so they can walk out en masse. First world probs.

acheeanthony · December 17, 2013 8:14PM

There is a glitch to these tasks but roaming isn't one of them. I watched most of the characters walk in-between buildings and disappear then walk back out as if they wen to that building. I thought it was funny because it looked like they were just going either into the backdoor or just going do the hobo thing and eat out the trash lol

I personally loved this task! Just seeing everyone running around at faster than normal pace was quite amusing. Thanks to a glitch on my ipad this morning that didn't allow me to see the "thumbs up" to let me know they were done, I discovered that I could send 11 more people back on for another 8 hrs before I tapped on the 12th man to clear the task.
