Bunny here to help out with a technical issue a lot of players are running into. Trying to get the Hospital into your game.
So you have passed by Level 24, but for whatever reason you just can’t get the Hospital to trigger. What do you do?
Check to see if ALL previous level tasks are done prior to the Hospital. We have a really cool Walkthrough Section in our Tips & Tricks Menu that has every walkthrough broken down. So you can easily see who triggers what and who is needed to complete task. Just take a peek and see if you left something undone and need to go back.
Store Buildings/Characters associated with the tasks. Sometimes when these tasks get “stuck”, you need to kind of give the game a lil kick to get it going again. A method to do this it take a buiding that characters involved in the tasks or used in the task and place them in your storage. You can find a helpful list HERE for them. Did Brockman finish all of his tasks?
Try a few tricks. Now I know that for Level 23 to Level 25, it seems as though EVERYTHING is unlocking all at once and you just can’t remember who was doing what at that time. I have found, oddly, that the Hospital for some did not unlock or trigger until you finish Executive Lackey for Smithers to at least Part 4. So see if that helps. Since Smithers loves to get stuck in the Power Plant, some have triggered it by storing and replacing the Cooling Towers and it started the dialog again.
Try not to have TOO many things going on at once. I know it is fun to get all the “stuff” in the game, but don’t try to KRAM it all together in one move. Spread it out. I have found that if you purchase Chester Dupree before building the Hospital, it causes the game to come to a halt as too much is going on with the same buildings causing a conflict. So wait, or store Chester away until you are done with Hospital, then start his dialog.
Start from scratch. The end all try to see if it helps, is to use the Nuclear Option and store the entire town. Then, just replace those items that are involved in the level. This is more a last resort effort to get this resolved.
Beyond all the basic troubleshooting and the methods above, the next step is to alert EA. This IS a known issue. Not sure of when it will be resolved, but if you are experiencing it add your name to the list on the forums to help keep it as a hot item until they get it fixed.
Let me know if any of these steps helped YOU to resolve it? Have YOU contacted EA? Have YOU found a method that worked to trigger it? Share your thoughts/comments/concerns below.
