I set the Examine Cameras task before I went to sleep last night. When I checked this morning the countdown was still on 10 hours 59 mins, when it should only have had maybe 3 hours to run. I was most annoyed as I'd waited up to set that task overnight! Checked on another sim who is orb grinding, went back to DIY house and Examine Cameras completed immediately. Now the Practise Flirting task has come up as 10 hours not 10 minutes.
Left game to check if anyone else had reported any problems here and when I went back to game the Practise Flirting completed.
So seems there may be a few oddities with the timing and it's probably worth leaving the DIY house, then going back to see if the problem has resolved itself.

I can't find Bree or anyway to start the quest anywhere. I tried the park and the Community Center but they are empty.

Thanks for this. I started the camera task at about 5.30 this morning. It is now 10 a.m and after reading this I checked the house and the task completed immediately. Next task flirting for 10 minutes.

I just read on the german forum, it looks like we have to wait 24 hours after completing the patio quest, before we can start the balcony quest. The start info will appear when we switch to the town map. Only then we will find Bree at the Community Center.

Did you complete the patio quest? If yes, you might have to wait a few more hours.

I hope it's true about the 24 hour wait. If that's the case I should be able to play later tonight!

From FB:
Bagatelle: Little feedback....some players had the quest 24 hours after everybody....We don't know why....
And some people said the quest began after they completed their daily task....
I assume she meant one of the weekly tasks batch. Can anyone confirm the task bit?

Hi, I'm new here. :) I just wanted to tell you that the balcony quest started for me about 8 or 9 hours ago (early Thursday morning, U.S. west coast). It probably was 24 hours after finishing the patio quest. I was worried when I didn't get the quest yesterday, so I wanted to reassure anyone else who didn't get the balcony quest yet. I think they'll get it pretty soon.

I had problems with the examine camera task too. I went to check on it and it should've had at least an hour missing but it wasn't. Went to farm my reindeers and when I came back it completed. The court another sim from a balcony task gave me problems. I watched it count down down to zero and then it wouldn't complete. I tried leaving and going back several times but it was stuck on 0 seconds for like 5 min I finally had to use 1 lp to skip and that worked. Overall I think this quest if full of pesky bugs

If your task sticks at 0%, do a four finger flick. Probably it will complete.
