Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
Back with another Tappers 101 Class, this time we’re talking about how to cancel tasks and free up a character without having to spend donuts. Way back when Addicts first started I covered this topic using Apu and his 7 Day Kwik-E-Mart shift as an example. You can find the full walkthrough/how-to of this (with photos) here (you can also find the Halloween edition here). Here’s the Tappers 101 verison:
You can knock characters out of tasks without using donuts quickly and easily by storing the character and/or building they arrived in Springfield in. To do this simply tap the 4-way arrow, move stuff, button on your main Springfield. Then find the building/character you wish to store, tap on it and tap the cardboard box icon. If a character didn’t come with a building, like the Rich Texan, simply store the building they’re currently located in to knock them out of it. Or store the character itself by tapping on them. Again for full details check out the how to post here.
This should help you avoid spending donuts to rush up a character you sent on a task by mistake, this can also come in handy when a new level starts and the character you need to start the update is off on a 24hr task.
For quick reference here’s a guide to which character came with which building hit read more…
