Totally random question that may have already been addressed, but why do some of the characters have voices and not others? Like Milhouse, Milton, and a couple others don’t have any voice when you click on them. Was this to just save on space or what?

That’s what I figured. Not sure I have the patience to do that every day.
By the way, what’s all this whacking day stuff? I haven’t had any updates on that, and I had all my characters free not working on other tasks earlier today. Got the waterfall, though a couple days ago.

Whacking Day is not an automatic update. Check the Apple ITunes or Google Play store. It should be there.

Ah. I didn’t realize Simpsons needed to be updated through iTunes, as well. Is there a rhyme or reason to which updates are automatic and which aren’t? And, of course, I just sent all my characters on 12 hour quests about an hour ago.
ETA: Downloaded it. Also, it turns out it was just 4 hour quests I sent them on, so I’ll see what the hubbub is about in a couple hours. Thanks.

For some reason after the update my towns got jumbled up and aren’t in alphabetical order. I also seem to have lost a couple.

I poured through the thread backwards collecting names until I got to Labtrash’s post on page two. This should be just about everyone participating here and I have not verified any right now as I’m at work and without my tablet.

It’s an egg. I’m given to understand that you can whack it once Homer and Lisa have finished their 24 hour tasks.

Sorry Loach, it won’t let me add you – it says that I have the Max number of allowed friends. I was able to add Reloy3 though.
Try again, I guess.
I love the hedges, Labtrash.

Can anyone explain what happens with the Lisa “release snakes from another town” job? I have noticed my snake count fluctuates at times, sometimes it drops by 5 to 10 snakes all of a sudden. I think the Lisa job is responsible, but I’m not sure if it’s because I used it, or if someone else is using it on my town.

I read on the EA forums that the release snakes job steals snakes from other towns, so we should always click on the other Springfield when using that job, or else you are stealing your friends snakes. Hands off my snakes!

Homer is busy whacking snakes.
Please add me to the list of android users who can now have friends. I will be adding lots tonight based on the list in this thread.
