Hey there Money Grubbers!
I am bouncing by with a quick Update on an “issue” that some of you are seeing and have been reporting in the comments.
When you collect coins using Consuela’s Vacuum Feature, play a lil bit, then return later… it appears as though you lost some coins. This is actually not really the case. Let’s take a look.
No need to panic at all. You are NOT missing any money nor losing any money. It is a “Visual Glitch”.
In short, this is what is REALLY happening in your game is this…
You use Consuela’s Vacuum to gather money from all available Buildings in your game, the money collects to your total count up top, and here is where the issue is. The amount actually displays TWICE the money that was actually collected form the Buildings. For instance instead of $10,444 that I actually had collected from the Buildings in my town, my total in my Coin count at the top of my game screen added $20,888. This creates the illusion that I have more money than I really do in the game.
The game essentially rights itself to the correct amount, but this leaves a Player visually assuming they lost money. You are not. You are being awarded the correct amount that was actually collected.
This may also cause an issue when you assume you had enough money to purchase an item in the game due to the double amount, when you realistically do not have enough. So if you try to purchase an item, it will recognize the correct amount and tell you that you need more.
TinyCo is already aware of this and a patch is set to drop when the next App Market Update will hit the game. Version 1.13.0 for Android and 1.13.5 for iOS that will be out soon. So keep an eye out for it over the next few days. (Most likely before the new content hits.)
Another example. I just collected from my game again. This time Consuela gathered $1,938 from my game…
But if you look at the totals before and after the collection, you will notice it actually shows I earned $3,876… TWICE of what I should have earned with $1,938.
There you have it. A lil “glitch” that already has a fix on it’s way. Let us know if this helped you out.

Hello! My game on my ipad crashes after about a minute. This has been going on since I resurected mr tweed. I have been to the help tab and done as told but still it continues. What would you advise?

I’m unable to Tap the Movie screen as notated in the second task. To be clear, I can tap it, but it doesn’t register as progress. Anyone else?

Bunny, kinda of a glitch I found I guess I was wondering if you seen in your or if they are going to use the ghostbusters again for holloween but my ghostbuster Peter now has a (gh) just like that in front of his name on the screen where you can choose tasks and skins. Unfortunately I sent him on a 12 hour task but when it’s done if you haven’t seen it I’ll screen shot it and send it to you.

Random, how long does it take to get Stewie? I’ve got all the other items to open him up except for these dang plotonium things (3/12). I have had Lois and Brian do only those tasks for over a week and still nothing but coins. The 3 that I did get was kind of accidently for when I’ve tried to open the district over 2 weeks ago. I’ve managed to not have to buy any coins or clams up until this point, any tips? This is totally driving me insane! Ugh.

Depends on the Player. District drops do take time though, so be prepared to invest time in each and every one. There will always be items that just do not drop quickly. It is how they made the Districts. As they are here forever, they want you to take time and finish them. Not be done in a few days and bored kind of thinking. Just keep at it. You will get there. We have all been through it. 🙂

Stewie was a brutal get but since he is the character most of us wanted most, we just had to plod through it. Big difference was I was attempting to get him as he was just released and not a year later like you and other players who didn’t start the game from the onset. Lots of others things going on now that weren’t then. It is a terrific feeling of satisfaction once you collect everything for him and he is a tremendous addition to your game. Bunny is right (as always) — Keep at it. You will get there.

Does anybody keep getting a notice stating you’re running out of storage space on the load screen every time you load the game? I have 349M free on my device and I’ve removed buildings and even deleted my game data, but after I reload my saved game it pops up again.
Why does this game need 140M (not including 80M for game) of data for? Is the game loading everything I ever collected onto my device even if I’m not using it? If so, that’s stupid!

That’s a device pop up… not a game pop up. It means your device is getting full. This game and the other we write on use a LOT of space. It is all the graphics and coding that goes into it. It’s why I suggest to keep things stored in the town, keep about 2-3GB of open space on your device, and keep solid WiFi. It is a very highly active game. It pushes many devices to their limits. #1 cause of crashing and lagging… not enough room. Sorry
Think of it this way, you are loading something that normally in the past you would play on a game system or PC into your lil device. There will be limits.

But the notice uses Family Guy graphics. That doesn’t sound like its an internal device warning. When I get a low memory warning from my Android device it appears in the Notification area, not when a game loads.

The same happens to me on both FG and TSTO when memory on my device is running low. It appears in game info format as that is the game you’re trying to currently access. So it’s letting you know “You can’t enter this game until you make more room”

Well, I figured it out and cleaned out some space in the SD card cache. I think I know what happened. I got an in game error the day before stating it couldn’t read/write a file and after clicking on it the game would reload. This happened many times until a decided to removed some files off the device to free memory thinking that was the problem.
After that error went away this one about lack of space popped up. I’m guessing after every crash/reload the game did it didn’t release cached data. Thus I had to manually remove it.

One bonus out of this situation is TinyCo gave me 30 Clams when I reported it with a vidcap in-game. They state they’re working on the memory hog issues.

That’s awesome. Reporting always helps when you are the one experiencing the issue. They can locate the cause and are grateful because it usually helps a LOT of other Players too. Community effort is always great. 🙂

OI! I get you don’t like the Stand Alone Version that has nothing to do with the Mobile Version I mainly write on, but please… you really need to stop putting it on EVERY SINGLE POST I put out there. It is getting a bit much. Remember that this is OUR site and not TinyCo’s. There is no need to put negativity into every post I write about something I have no control over and that has nothing to do with the Windows Version. Please be more respectful to the Addicts Site and what we do here on our own personal time. Take the issues to TinyCo. Not our helpful posts. 😉
