Is the max skill of retail dream job bitizen only 8?
I have cycled through 500 bitizens (using a tower bux to move them in, and then evicting after) in order to try and get bitizens with a dream job and skill level 9 into each job slot, but I have not seen a bitizen with a skill of 9 in retail (purple) yet. Not even in bitizens that have other dream jobs. Is retail capped at a skill of 8, or am I just extremely unlucky so far?
You are just really unlucky so far. Here is a photo of Watto's Wares with three skill 9 bitizen with a dream job star. In addition I have two other bitizens that want Watto's Wares as their dream job, but it is already full.I was playing this on an iPad Mini, so your problem may be a device related bug.
You're not alone. I'm 60 levels in, I've gone through hundreds of bitizens and haven't seen a single retail level 9 yet. This is on the Android version, fwiw, so I'm assuming it's a bug. This game has tons of them.
Retail is definitely capped at 8 in my tower as well. Every single bitizen that has ever visited has had an 8 or less in retail only.
Randomness can not explain it considering the amount of people I've moved in and out. It's possibly a bug related to a particular device if they are showing up for some people. I'm using a Nexus 4.
Yes, it's definitely capped at 8 for some devices! I think for mine retail can only be even numbers because of about 200 I've checked, they've all only been 8, 6, 4, 2, or 0. I'm using Android on a Galaxy S3. I hope they fix this bug soon so I can have a perfect tiny death star...
