THIS EVENT IS NOW OVER
ONCE THE 9 DAY TIME LIMIT IS UP YOU WILL HAVE 2 DAYS TO PURCHASE ANY PACKS YOU HAVE LEFT– you will not be able to collect anymore arts and crafts items or coins, you have to use the resources you have, if you don’t have enough resources all you can do is use social points to buy the requirements or wait until the event returns!
The Kids Party Live Event unlocks party items for preteen sims to enjoy, this event will be available between May 1st-4th for 9 days!
Live Events are very similar to a community event but this time you don’t need help from everyone who plays the sims freeplay to unlock the prizes, there are only personal prizes this time!
Check out my Guide to Completing Live Events (including tips!) HERE!
This event is only here for 9 days and the aim of it is to collect enough arts and crafts items from the arts and crafts stations (found in the event tab of buy mode) to unlock all the items in this event
NOTE: if you did another Live Event then you will find your arts and crafts stations in your inventory (or in the house you left them at) you will only be able to use the candle ones until you unlock the other stations in this event
Can’t find your arts and crafts stations? Click on the craft station in your event tab to get the option to find your station, it will take you to the house where your stations can be found!
NOTE: I completed this on the Early Access Beta so some information may be slightly different but I will update the post as I complete the event.
Place a crafting station (find the candle station in the events tab of buy mode (or your inventory)- you can only buy 4)
Make some arts and crafts items (click on the candle station to make)- 23 seconds
This takes you to the prize progress tab (you can get to it by clicking on the party event button in the corner of the screen)
Here you will see you have collected enough items to unlock the Party Starter pack! When you unlock each pack, before the items are available in your home store you need to purchase them with the arts and crafts items you make- this goal is coming up!
Restock a crafting station (when the stock runs out you will have to restock before you can make anymore arts and crafts items)- You can restock instantly for 18 uses for 10SPs or restock for 2 uses which will take 10 seconds this time
Buy the party starter pack (click on the party event button, scroll down and click purchase- this will cost you 50 candles)
Use a coin flower patch (buy the coin flower patch from the event tab and select the spin plant option)
Check the daily goals (click on the party event button and find the daily goals tab- claim the ones you can!)
Remember to claim your rewards each day!
Collect bonuses (while collecting after a certain amount of time you will see the arts and crafts item appear above that sims head, click to collect the bonus item!)
Continue collecting arts and crafts items- this is the last step but the event is not over, keep collecting the arts and crafts to unlock everything!
If you want to speed up a collecting arts and crafts action it will cost you SPs, you will get the bonus gems as well if you speed it up!

Restocking
Each station (apart from the first candle one) comes with a stock of 9 which means you can use the station 9 times before it needs to be restocked (if you got your stations out of your inventory they will all need restocking first (apart from the first candle one) When you need to restock you will have two options:
- Restock 18 uses which happens instantly but will cost you 10SPs
or
- Restock 9 uses which will take you 2 hours 30 minutes but will be free
NOTE:
- if you store the station you will lose all the stock so when you place it again you will need to restock
- if you cancel making something using a station you will lose that stock so if you had one stock left and then you cancelled that action you would need to restock before you can create anymore arts and crafts items

NOTE: the bar at the top of the personal progress tab shows you how close you are to unlocking an item, the more arts and crafts items you collect the more the bar will fill up.

What is the difference between the standard and premium residence? The kitchen/dining room is larger on the premium residence and there is a balcony at the back of the house. The party items in the standard are the vibrant ones whereas the pastel ones are in the premium house.
There is also a bigger garden on the premium residence but it does look a bit of a mess!

Constructor Coins
You earn constructor coins by:
Personal Progress prizes
Completing Daily Goals
Coin Plant Patches
Earning Construtor Coins? Previously on these events I used social points on the Mega Spin Plant to win constructor points. I earn social points by completing the cooking hobby and earning LPs, I can then turn the LPs into SPs using the social point plant on a normal garden patch- this was when it cost 5LPs- the social point plant now costs 20LPs so you may want to try the option below first instead:
Or you can use 450 candles for the Spin Plant (a good way to use up any spare candles) which will also earn you constructor coins but the amounts are less than they are from the Mega Spin Plant
What is the minimum and maximum amount of coins you can earn on the mega spin plant? The minimum is 10 and the maximum is 500
Now on the coin flower patch you can see the chances of getting the different combinations on each spin plant, click on the green i button to see:
Personally I don’t really see the point in seeing this now, it definitely wasn’t an 18% chance before of getting the 3 different ones as that it what I got the most! We will have to wait and see if they have made changes to the spin plant for this new event!
Laura Craft? You may have noticed at the front of one of your houses there is a board with a bubble of a person holding arts and crafts items above it, this is Laura Craft, you can buy her for real money to help you complete the event. When you buy her, you select the item you want her to make from the options: 200 candles, 300 pottery, 450 jewelry or 500 glassware (the amounts seem to differ for most of you and I have no idea why that is!) (you will unlock all the options once you have unlocked all the stations) and you will be able to collect them after 2 hours.
Do I think she is worth it? They have improved Laura Craft a lot since the first event (although it would be great if she made constructor coins) she used to be able to collect every 8 hours, they have now changed this to 2 hours so she is more useful now so if you are struggling then you may want to splash out and give her a try but remember you will only get her for this event, you will have to buy her again to use her for a live event in the future.
If I brought Laura Craft in the last event do I get her for free or do I have to buy her again? You have to buy her again for this event.

I think they should let you keep the constructor coins you earn from previous events. I hate when they make me turn them in for Simoleons, I don’t want Simoleons! I want the constructor coins! LoL
thanks for the great post!
Do you personally think completing this event is possible in the time given? I’m sort of doubtful about it.
Most live events are based on luck as you spin for the coins so it is hard to say if its possible to complete in the time limit but it will probably be back again in the future if you don’t manage to complete it this time.
What is your opinion on these live events? Don’t you think they are controversial?
It feels like they are trying to stress the player out with these time limited events and the prizes aren’t even worth it!
I personally don’t really like live events, see this post for more details as to why: https://thegirlwhogames.blog/2017/02/12/the-sims-freeplay-impossible-events-arent-fun/ since I wrote this they have made them not so impossible but they still aren’t easy!
Do you think this event will come back at some point later? I hope so! I pretty much never manage to complete a live event the first time around since I’m always just short in glass items or constructor coins, and it seems like a waste to spend those precious SPs if I know I can finish it easily if comes around again. Also thank you for your blog!! I love it so much!!
It will probably be back again some time in the future, I also always wait until the next time if I don’t complete the first time!
You’re welcome!
Do you complete every live event on time? I swear you do, and how do you complete them on time? I can never complete them on time.
No I definitely don’t complete them on time! I usually miss out by one or two packs and then I complete them when they return to the game. This post may help if you need some tips though: https://thegirlwhogames.blog/2017/07/16/the-sims-freeplay-how-to-complete-live-events/
Is this easy to complete in the time limit??
Most live events are based on luck as you spin for the coins so it is hard to say if its easy to complete in the time limit but it will probably be back again in the future if you don’t manage to complete it this time.
Thanks
I agree with another commenter, I wish we could keep our construction coins at the end of the event to use for the next time it comes around. I somehow managed to get the 3 grasshoppers – 125 coins spin, TWICE this event!! So I’m actually ahead with coins but I still won’t make enough of the other products with only a day left. 😭
I wasn’t able to finish it but I still got some crafts to spend and get one of the bigger prizes (not getting the small ones like the party food). I am unsure between the piñata one or the one with pin the tail 🙂 They are both cute and both can be interacted with, so the choice is not easy.
Thanks for showing what the unlocks look like, your blog makes sims-life much easier! ^_^
I’m glad it helps 🙂
