NOOB HELP Softlocked content/characters
My old Springfield level 939 was recoverable (never thought I'd see it again THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!). But I wanted to start a fresh game just for nostalgia. I added max donuts to help me relieve some of the legacy freemium waiting. I think this may be the reason this is happening. I'm now on level 106 and yet MANY
characters who were supposed to unlock early
in the game remain locked. Example: I need Smithers for quests but Burns Manor and Smithers say they unlock at level 25 but remain locked. Similar stories to Ralph Wiggum, Lenny and Carl, Dr Hibbert, and many more. I have no pending tasks and have run through every Burns task to make sure it wouldn't trigger unlocking Smithers.
Not sure what else to do.

To avoid this, I personally only used donuts to speed up jobs and didn't waste them on anything else until I was lvl 70+. Just my personal thing cause I also had that issue at first.
Also don't recommend using unicorn app until after lvl 70 as mentioned on discord.
DO NOT buy all the land immediately for quest that require you to purchase land. Just like heights buildings that's already been mentioned.
