Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
There are loads of characters in TSTO, right around 207 204 (just recounted and made a list, I get 204 from the character collection list. Including NPCs, but NOT including skins. 204 characters, 58 of those are NPCs) at the time of this posting. And while many have individual tasks, there are a few that enjoy social interaction and have tasks with other characters. These are called dual or joint tasks.
Joint tasks require both characters to be free in order to set them on the task, which is why sometimes you’ll see them locked out (usually that means the other required character is not available). Joint tasks also pay more than if the character performed the task on their own, because you’re sending two characters to complete one task.
We’ve had numerous requests for a list of all of the joint tasks in TSTO, and now that we have some downtime we can put together a list for you guys. So here’s a list of the joint tasks in TSTO…

Note: Lisa’s task with Rod & Todd, only require Rod or Todd if you have them. You will be able to send Lisa to babysit them before they arrive in the game. You just won’t make as much money off of the task.
Now I realize it’s entirely possible that I may have missed some…with over 200 characters & tasks constantly changing it’s hard to keep it all straight sometimes. So if you see any tasks missing from this list that you know of please feel free to mention them in the comments below & I’ll add them to the post.
So there you have it my tapping friends…a list of all of the joint character tasks in TSTO!
What are your thoughts on the joint character tasks? Any tasks that are your favorite? Any you hate doing? Any you didn’t realize before? Sound off in the comments below, you know we love hearing from you!
Ebenezer Burns & Smithers 24hr job doesn’t work.
Thoughts?
The 24hr job for Ebenezer Burns is solo
Thanks
Thank you for the post! I think Doggie Smithers and Robot Smithers 4 hr task has been missed.
Time to update this overview?
Great post! I’m gonna use this to make visiting my town more interesting. I’ll let you know if I find new items to add to the list so you can update it.
The Parson & Rev Lovejoy – 8 hours.
This. As well as the one with Fatov and Homer.
I still have a question about the swabbing the deck quest. Why is it always greyed out? Usually if it’s a quest for a certain time of year, they take our away after awhile. I can’t ever activate it and im really curious.
Sometimes they just don’t remove them for whatever reason..
What an awesome post, Alissa! Glad to see I can always come to this blog and find the Addicts on their game, even in between events and during a steamy June on the east coast that is probably making us all a little grumpy 🙂
I don’t have all of these character combos, but among the ones I do, my personal favorite is Rex Banner interrogating Flanders. The innocent misunderstanding, the “I take myself impossibly seriously” determined look on Rex’s face, the well-meaning gestures of Flanders. It all makes me laugh every time, just like that episode.
I cant see the option on my game for skinner and bart to dress up like elves is it limited time or something?
Skinner should have it. Not sure if it’s a result of having played Christmas 2014 or not though…
Just a suggestion: you could add a column to that table indicating which character starts the task. Thanks 😉
I could…but the first character listed is the one who has the task.
Ah, OK, I didn’t realize that, thanks. By the way, is there a list of all jobs with premium payouts for freemium characters (using premium buildings or decorations) anywhere? That would be pretty useful too 🙂
No list as of now.
Excellent job Alissa! Much needed.
On a side note, during the lull between updates here I have been putting all characters on 24 hour tasks whenever possible. It’s making me nuts that Helen Lovejoy doesn’t have a task this length! Do you think this might be a possible future addition? Or does it come with a building that is already available (which I obviously don’t have yet?)
Anything is possible..
…does kang drinking hilarium count?
No because he can do it with or without Kodos.
Stampy and Bart is a favorite.
I really,really,really don’t know why EA made an indoor task for Stampy. For crying out out, if you have an elephant, you should be able to see it 24 hours a day !!!
When Bart is busy, I usually just let Stampy wander around town.
I used to let Stampy roam too but then I got short on cash so I asked him to redecorate every day. Now I’m good on cash but I’m so used to making him work that I forget to let him out for exercise once in awhile! 😉
Thanks for doing all the work to create this list. Could you define the term NPC and what it means in terms of game play? Thanks.
Non playable character. Just a character without tasks..
Hi, it looks like Matt G. try to erase Homer has been missed.
Nope It’s on there
One of my absolute favorite task animations in the whole game is still Agnes and CBG’s “Get help crossing the street.” There’s something about it that’s just so darned sweet, the way she parts his arm and stuff. I know it’s not big and flashy, but I really love it. I also like when Stampy had timeslipped enough that I can send him on his task with Bart overnight and, even though it’s not visible (how awesome would it be if it were?), every time I send Homer off to rub Spider Pig’s tummy, I get a smile on my face.
I guess I’m just a sucker for sweet, happy things!
Just wanted to pop in and thank you for reminding me about Homer and Marge’s stroll~ I had completely forgotten it! Alissa, Wookie and Bunny thank you for all you do! My gameplay has improved tremendously with your tutorials! 😍
🙂
Thanks for the hard work!! For the list and as well as running this site 🙂
I love reading TSTO addicts. Your blogs have helped me so much through all these events! I’ve been playing since summer 2012, and I’m mostly a freemium player. I have splurged a couple of times on Donuts though!
I would love to see some kind of chart that shows which tasks have the highest payout with cash and XP! I always put my characters in their skins with the highest payout, but I wonder if doing the joint tasks is EVER more profitable? I’m too lazy to do the math and you guys come up with the NEATEST charts!
It’s definitely getting harder to level up (currently my counter is set on 1400000!).
Wow, I didn’t know there were so many of these. I mostly noticed Artie’s, cause he has do few tasks.
