I have completed all the missions to completely unlock the colonial barn and its not giving me the last thing needed to unlock it. I’ve repeated the process several times for several days and its still not unlocking the last debris. What else do I need to do?

As far as I know, they pulled all the main questlines for American Dad when American Dad left as those items for purchase are gone. I would suggest contacting TinyCo on this one directly from your in game menu.

I have had an issue with a quest asking me to make a holiday gift and for some reason it is not available to make. I can make the striped ones, but not the holiday regular gifts. I have emailed them and they have not responded to me at all.
LikeLike
So when you tap on Santa’s Village, you don’t see two Gift Boxes in there? Just one? You can’t scroll left or right in it through all the listed Gift Boxes?
LikeLike
At that point? No. Now it’s back but it’s locked, says I need the Christmas tree…you know, the one that’s right next to it, the one you start out with. Haha
LikeLike
I know when you FIRST start out the questline ONLY the Holiday one is available and the Striped is locked. As you progress and actually open a Holiday Box as well as start to collect items, then the Striped box unlocks. Then as you progress even more and wrap/open both…once you have all the prizes inside minus the materials, the boxes go away. So as soon you own all the decos/buildings in them…they disappear and the next set of boxes are all that is left in Santa’s Village. So only two boxes to clear in phase one. More will come in phase 2.
So I ask this, if you look through your tasks open in your task menu, where are you in the main questline? Miracle on Spooner street Part…? Can you send me a screenshot of what you are seeing? familyguyaddicts.com

Part 4. It says Make a holiday gift box. I cannot
LikeLike
Okay so if I am reading this right, the reason I can’t make any holiday gifts is because I have unwrapped all the gifts that would be included. I updated the app and started unwrapping gifts well before I actually unlocked Lois, and I didn’t get the spooner at quests until after she was unlocked. That makes sense but it sucks that I can’t finish this objective.

I am just curious as to why you are posting on their Facebook page? Just a bit of FYI for any business and/or company…Facebook is ran mainly by the PR department and the WORST place to get tech support.
My suggestion is to use the proper routes to contact TinyCo Tech Support. Really the ONLY way you should contact them for any issues. Either send them a message directly through your in game menu so it goes right to them or email them if you can’t get in the game at help@tinyco.com
Any other way and honestly your comments will never be seen.

I apologize if I am confused or if this issue has been addressed elsewhere.
I am currently in the quest where I am gathering parts for the blimp. I have the blimp construction site out in the water and my characters have tasks to get the blimp parts. However, if I click on the blimp construction site or the quest icon I get the pop up which has the info about the quest, then below that it says Parts Needed but does not show pictures of the parts or how many I have collected, just a blank green button and then at the bottom a button that says Not ready. If I press the blank green button it takes me to a new pop up that says Grab some Loot and says if I open the box I could win 5 clams. If i click the Not Ready button it says to click on the items to find out how to get them, but again no item pictures are shown and it’s blank where they should be. Wth? Thank you for any info.

How do you get Facebook friends to show up? And do they have to be using the same version of the game (ios vs. android)? I know I have one Facebook friend who plays actively but I can never see him. I have ios and he has android. I also can’t see any other facebook friends even though I’m sure others must have it and it always says I’m out of invitations (even though I’ve never sent any). Does this mean something is wrong with my account? Should I bother trying to add people to Facebook specifically for this app…will they even show up?
Thanks in advance for any answers!

My only suggestion …and this one is tricky so be careful. First go to Menu, Account, and take a Screenshot of your Player ID in the lower right corner. ALWAYS keep that handy.
Next…try this.
If you are unable to view your Facebook friends or invite friends to the game, please make sure to download v1.5 and then follow these steps:
Go to the Account Info page and write down the 32-digit code in the bottom right corner of the screen. This is your PlayerID, which can be used to locate your game if your game gets lost.
Press the blue ‘Delete Facebook’ button.
Go to facebook.com and revoke access to Family Guy app. (This itself is a 3 step process. https://www.facebook.com/help/170585223002660)
Come back to Family Guy and reconnect your game to your Facebook profile.

Hi, I’ve nearly finished getting the Smiths. Steve only needs 5 records which I’m sure I used multiple characters to collect, but since the xmas update I can only use Cleveland.

What do you mean? Is the task gone from your game or the icon to payout the item gone?

The task still seems to be there, when I click on Steve he still needs 5/10 records. I click on it and it used to tell me 3 or 4 ways to collect them, now there’s only one (cleveland). I think Chris and Jerome, plus a building, were able to do it but now they don’t have the icon next to them. I dunno if it’s a glitch, there’s been a few lately.

Performance Issues!
I’m not sure if it is just me, but I’m finding the performance of the game getting worse and worse. Those periodic lags are getting more frequent, and are affecting the game.
I’ve removed all but about 15 buildings/decorations, and even packed away 20 of the characters. Whether the remaining 20 or so characters roam the street with nothing to do, or are on-task inside a building, seems to make no difference.
My device is not that wimpy… it’s a Nexus 4… and it the game was much smoother with far more on the map a month or two ago. Actually it was fine until the update they did during Comic Con, and only then did the lagging start. But as I said, it’s getting worse even though I’ve removed things off the map.
Is this everyone’s normal experience? Should I be doing something different to fix the problem?
Thanks for any advice.
