Hey guys, I’m getting a bunch of quests to do but when I go to do them they aren’t available, does anyone know what this means? It’s for Lisa to do her homework for 24 hours to start the quest for the school. And the other ones are for Ned to hold emergency bible studies for 8 hours and for Cletus to brew moonshine (I think 24hrs not sure) does anyone know how I can fix this? I’m only on level 9 but it’s making it a struggle to progress further in the game.
You have to follow the questlines in order to unlock more tasks and buildings. My suggestion would be to go to the lower level walkthroughs and follow along, see what tasks you have available in your task book and do those to clear the bottleneck.

Boatload of 2400 Donuts
One of my in-game friends has the donut boat in there Squidport and so I wanted to ask before I spend the $100 bucks if that’s how anyone here got there’s… I see that now it’s offering the bonus decoration the same way I got the “robot Hans Moleman” in the last update with the Truckload of 300. I’ve been playing off and on since 2014 and have almost all of the premium stuff. I would like to add that silly donut boat to my game.
Thanks!
You don’t get the boat when you buy the boatload. The boat is a separate decoration. You can currently get it in the Yearbook Mystery Box
Hey thanks! I’ve decided no more mystery boxes due to getting the same brown car and flower pot over and over…
BTW if you buy a land expansion with a burning bush, it is NOT debris. It is worth 20 donuts and adds +0.50% cash and XP to tasks. Hope this helped!
Never waste money on funzos, Santa’s little helper, Barney’s bowlerama or duff brewery. Premium decorations aren’t worth it unless you buy a ton of donuts.
I can’t figure out why my quest for homer to “ruin story time” hasn’t triggered. What do I need to do?
which questline is it a part of?
Sorry for the late reply.
The quest line is only on homers list of tasks Unlike others that require another character and are grayed out if they are busy; this task is just grayed out saying it needs a quest.
======================
You don’t win friends with salad
Time: 4 hrs
Requires: Bart
————————
Ruin Storytime
Time: 4 hrs
Requires: Quest
————————
Spend an evening at Snuggler’s Cove
Time: 10 hrs
Requires: Marge
=========================
That’s all it says and it’s grayed out. On my list it shows zero tasks to be completed, so I’m not sure how to trigger it. I know the kids were doing stuff regarding sleep time. [ithink]. Anyways not sure what I need to do now, but if I follow the pattern of the other two; Ruin Storytime is a questline. 😐
I left a comment that somehow disappeared. Anyhoo, the questline is “Ruined Storytime”. I’m not sure when it popped up but I have zero tasks left and this one says I need a quest to unlock it.

Ruin Storytime
Time: 4 hrs
Required: Quest

How do I trigger this? It’s one of Homer’s tasks.
Didn’t disappear…i’m got it pending still so i can research it 😉
Oh kk. I haven’t figured it out so I’m wondering if it has to do with a quest that I didn’t unlock during an event in the past ?
Ps. Thank you so much for this site. It’s been a blessing in disguise for all my long dreary days. 😊
Anything?
I have not been able to find anything on it. I’m really sorry
Okei. Thank you for trying.
Which is the best deal to buy donuts? Love you blog, greeting from Colombia.
Thanks for all the dedicated hours/days/months researching on Tapped Out🤗
I can’t seem to find the worldwide broadcast dish.
Has it been pulled from the game, or am I just that blind?
Thanks.
I think it was moved to the vault

Gotcha, I’ll keep an eye out for it.
Thanks Alissa!
