    Yeah. I can't find an answer to my question anywhere. EA support wouldn't even answer my question. They gave me the link for the forum and told me I had to post my question here lol I'm not surprised.

    You could try and reset the app but its possible the quest line might have been limited time?

    Dunno, I cant remember it exactly, but wasnt he clearing snow and competing with Homer at Christmas time etc... Wouldnt make much sense as a questline right now...

    this is true but it would be the same as our new Stonecutter Disco Stew, Jasper, etc that we have won.. when I get Disco Stu in 2 months or so, the Stonecutter Quest wont make much sense, but it will still activate..


    OP, i would E-Mail them again, in the same convo even, telling them that its a broken part of the Game that you need them to Force through or reset on their side, for you.. Its been done before and it will be done again =)

    I understand what you're saying, but aren't the quests tied to the skins?

    exactly, yes they are, so they should activate as soon as the Skin is applied.

    have u tried puttin the bowlarama back into your inventory and resetting barney?

    Silly question time....Are you ready? Here we go.......

    Are all your characters free when you selected the skin for barney or were some people on tasks?

    I did the exact same thing, as in won Plow King at Christmas and just saved enough donuts and bought Barney. Plow King quest didn't start for me either but I assumed that's because it's a Christmas only character. When I got Respectable Moe his quest started as soon as I unlocked Moe, but then that skin isn't tied to a particular time of year.

    If it turns out to be broken then let me know!

    Ahh might be the reason why the skin didnt work, one of the characters needs to be free to trigger the quest line off :) Make sure everyone is doing nothing and then see if anything happens.....if still no then I may have to have a re-think for you ;)

    Why does it matter if everyone is doing nothing? The only characters tied to the Plow King quest line are Barney, Homer, and Moe's Tavern, and I have them all. And there have been many times this month when when none of my characters have been doing anything at all. BTW thanks for all the replies. Hope you guys can help.

    The only reason i say "everyone" is cos i cant remember who kicks of the Barneys questline, would have thought it was Homer but i cant remember so making everyone free at the same time covers all bases as it were :) As i say this is just an idea to try and help/see whether it kicks the quest off for you :) Wont hurt to give it a try tho

    Whenever we have a new update i always make sure "everyone" is free, even now no one is doing tasks apart from the ones that need to be

    Yeah I got what you're saying. But through most of the Stonecutters event I've left everyone without a task just so I wouldn't be given a task to do with a particular character and have to wait for them to become available. So everyone has been available at one point or another. I was gonna try to store my Bowlarama, then place it again to see if it worked, but my game is lagging and I accidentally sent Homer on a 4 hr task. D'oh!!!

    Storing the Bowlarama is another thing to try for sure :)

    Being free at one point or another is why i was saying making sure they all free at same time, but just an idea, sometimes when they all free visit KL and come back that also tends to kick quests off. Another idea is to close the app down and reload it, sometimes helps kicks things off.

    Just throwing some ideas out there to try and help :) Granted they not working to well at the moment :lol:

    Ok I tried storing the Bowlarama and placing it again. Nothing. The only people I have doing anything at the moment are Mr. Burns (walking the dogs task that randomly popped up) and The Sea Captain (Send a * to complain to a dr.) No I took everyone to Krustyland several times. Didn't trigger any tasks. I just force stopped the app and turned my phone off. Turned it back on and am playing as I type. Still nothing. Any other ideas?

    I'm guessing it was a limited questline. It's probably been disabled. Like if you were midway through the Halloween questline, I think that one just deletes as well.

    I know others didn't have this restriction (like last years 4th of July), but I think most of the recent Holiday ones, and even tie-ins now have time restrictions.

    This could be well what has happened

    or maybe the questline wont trigger until this Stonecutters event is over (long shot that tho)

    I'd have to say you are probably correct. Limited time episode tie-ins and holiday or event dialogue only lasts so long after the event ends now. I know that did not use to be the case, but it probably changed. I remember reading some people saying they still had their cool brown house questline open, almost 2 years after it started.

    My only other question with the Barney Plow King questline, is maybe does it also depend on the Homer Mr. Plow questline as well? Do you also have Homer's skin? Have you already completed the Homer Mr. Plow tasks?
