> [@Stink Fish Pot](#): > > Has anyone else noticed that buying the pyramid cost 200 moons, and that total is subtracted from the total you have collected? I think this is relevant because when you get the amount of moons needed for Cleveland, that will start that counter over at zero again. I am not sure what you will need moons for after Cleveland, other than the big prizes that keep a running total of your moons, but I thought I’d mention it. Remember too that Adventure Peter requires 1250 moons. Does Meg have any tasks that generate moons? I just built Oceanland, and unlocking her requires a 20-hour task from Peter. Devoting that much of his time would only be worth it if she then generates moons. ---

I have Meg at level 7 and she has no tasks that generate moons. Sorry. ---

Has anyone been able to create the mermaid Peter outfit? I am still short a seashell, which has been the case forever. ---

There are two butt totals. The amount in TOTAL you’ve collected is on the bottom and the amount you have available to spend is up at the top near your money. I don’t know what the pyramid countdown is and I don’t know how long we have to get Cleveland. ---

…arrggh. Just got the notice that Asiantown is open, and this image popped up: > **['Family Guy: The Quest For Stuff': Offensive Asiantown Update Finally Unlocks...](http://www.gamenguide.com/articles/10974/20140514/family-guy-the-quest-for-stuff-offensive-asiatown-update-finally-unlocks-stewie-griffin-screens.htm)** > > One thing that many gamers found frustrating about Family Guy: The Quest for Stuff, the new iOS and Android free-to-play game, was that the most popular character was nowhere to be seen. Stewie Griffin is the last character you will unlock in the... I’m sure in the context of an episode Anime Peter must have been quite funny. But having him just pop up on screen like that is enough to make me give up on the game for good. ---

I have Adventure Peter and a new list of tasks. I was hoping he would generate moons faster, but not really. My quest line with him requires me to free Cleveland, which is going to take a long time. I don’t know whether this means that he won’t be able to enter the pyramid when it opens. The game is definitely prodding me to use clams to free Cleveland. ---

I think Mermaid Peter earns moons at a higher rate than Adventure Peter. I’m still trying to figure out which joint tasks are worth doing for the moons. I think Joe and wife’s lapdance together earns more than just the wife alone. ---

Cleveland takes forever…I just got screwed by the game - both Lois and The VideoArcade dropped the last two watches I needed for Anime Peter. I send Lois on her skank task and _boom_ the game crashes. I re-start the game only to find that the game re-set itself and I’m back having to click on Lois and VideoArcade who do NOT drop the watch…ugh - piece of utter crap game…yet I keep playing ☹ ---

Wait until the Video Arcade (or Lois) is ready to collect. Open the game normally. Turn off your internet on your phone WITHOUT leaving the app. Collect Lois. If you get the rare item, turn the internet back on immediately, again WITHOUT leaving the app. If you don’t get the rare item, close the app and do a hard close. Turn internet back on. Open app, and you’ll find Lois will be ready to collect. Turn off internet and repeat the above steps until you get the rare item. Be warned, sometimes you have to go through the process 5 or 6 times until you get the rare item. I’m almost done with Cleveland because I use this method. Only use it on rare items because it isn’t worth the hassle on common ones. ---

I can’t imagine this is worth the hassle on ANY item. I have been short a sea shell for mermaid Peter forever, and I wouldn’t do this. 5 or 6 times? That is dedication! ---

I don’t like a number of things with this game, but crashing is not an issue, which is probably why I haven’t quit. I think earning the 25 giraffes for Cleveland will test my resolve, though. ---

Any idea if this works with an iPad? I have to admit, I am intrigued by this, even though it seems like a lot of work. I may get to a point where I need to do something like this to get Cleveland. ---
