UPDATE BUNNY 2pm EST 1/9/15: Just verified from TinyCo a patch has been pushed to resolve the issue with Peter and Lois and the item drops. Please let us know if things are back to normal in your games. 😉
UPDATE BUNNY: I just ran the questline again myself, after Peter and Lois finish their tasks, they go away during the questline. I have already reported this to TinyCo and verifying if it was as intended. Just tasks for only the questline. In the meantime, try not to complete those tasks until you have all you need for Jillian.

Are we still going to be able to work on the quests after the 15th as long as we have Jillian or will it all be going away? Gotta know if I should spend the 60 clams to finish off the bracelets so I’ll have enough time to complete her quest line.

Good grief, this last necklace is proving to be an EPIC battle. Thank goodness I still have three more days. I’m pretty sure the quest lines on this one will end when D10 hits. That’s too big of an update to keep them all going, but who knows.

Is the 15th when New Years Jillian goes away?? I’ve been trying like crazy & can’t seem to get the last two items for her, the bracelets & necklaces. They are not dropping! 😞

15th is current end date, yes. Sometimes if I feel items are not dropping I will force close the game, restart my app, and go back in and try again. Just make sure you send the same character on same task over and over. Outside of that, if you feel there is an issue…please let them know through your game.

When you say force close are you meaning delete the game & reload it?? I’ve wanted to try but was affraid I would lose it all even though I’m signed in with FB. Thank you for your time & help!!

Force close depends on your device. This is usually done by holding or tapping your home button. It will show you where all the apps are, then you can swipe the app of the screen and force it to stop.

I think this will be the first failed event for me – 150 clams is too much for just a skin, but the extra rares just aren’t dropping this time – i have 1 of each after sending all ccharacters on the tasks as many times as i can! Never had close to this bad of luck.
Id have grabbed that skin at 75, and maybe 100 but 150 feels greedy to me. I typically drop 200 clams per event so im willing to spend but…not for this.
Love your website ladies 🙂

Brian basically dropped items every time (even though it says rare) for Jillian on his task. He croons outside is the only one I saw there. Questline was a lil silly. There is a 24 hr task with them both to show effection that is the animation you saw once you have them both unlocked.

I’ve got Lois’ task to drop bracelets back but no Peter’s task. I’ve already got all the necklaces so maybe his only task was that.
Anyhow, I got all the necklaces in one day but haven’t gotten a single bracelet; it’s kind of odd that the odds would work out that way. I hope I get some bracelets soon.
Random extra rare is random extra rare I suppose. Thanks mods, Bunny and Allissa for all that you do

Everything is dropping fine for me I’m more than half way to Jillians skin, my only issue is with jesus. 9 straight days of turning water into clams and still haven’t seen one yet. As far as brians skin I dont have 150 clams, but from reading everyone else it’s no big deal. Happy gaming.

If Lois or Peter are walking around and I tap on them, no item earning task. If I go to Al Harrington’s and tap the item, then Lois or Peter’s task, it will show up. I’m just hoping that doing it this way is not affecting the item drop potential. Playing on Android.
As an aside, I’m usually feel the drop rates are pretty good, but I’ve been running the tasks solidly, until this tasks disappeared, and have only gotten one set of bracelets and one necklace. I guess I’m just getting unlucky this time around.

On iOS. When Al Harrington’s was checked both Lois & Peter were included for tasks to generate items to get NYE’s Jillian. Have them both donating stuff now, New Year, New Lies pt. 4. Will send them off to get stuff for Jillian when they’re done, hopefully things are back on track.
