THIS EVENT HAS ENDED
Unlock sophisticated party themed items in this returning live event back from the 3rd December! This event is only here for 11 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. If you started it last time but didn’t complete it you will start from where you got to last time, for example if you only had one prize pack left to buy you will only have to collect enough resources to buy that prize pack to complete the event
Update your game to the Lake House Christmas Update to begin this event
Check out my Guide to Completing Live Events (including tips!) HERE!

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

Take a tour of my Sophisticated Socialite Club here, made using the items from this event:
Constructor Coins
You earn constructor coins by:
Personal Progress prizes
Completing Daily Goals
Coin Plant Patches
Earning Constructor 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:
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. I personally don’t ever buy her, if I don’t manage to earn enough items or coins in the time limit I just wait until the next time the event is available!
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.

If I don’t complete this event this time will I have to start from the beginning when it returns? No, you will start from where you got to this time!
Hi
Thanks for the posts and all the great advice. It’s sooo helpful!
I’m doing a live event for the first time, and I don’t understand about the last prize. The one you get if you unlock and buy all the others. If I don’t complete it this time, when the event comes back next time will that last prize still be available? Or is it only if you complete in the first event’s time limit like it is for some of the quests? So then next time only the packs will be available and not the grand prize as it were?
Thanks so much
You’re very welcome. Live events are slightly different as when they return you will still be able to get all the prizes so even if you don’t complete it the first time you can still start from where you got to this time when it returns and if you unlock and buy all the prizes you can still claim the final prize (definitely don’t waste your social points on the requirements, I always wait for the event to return to complete it)
You can interact wth both platters. I get “gulp oysters” and “savor seafood” from the oyster one and “gorge on snacks” and “delicate nibble” from the cheese one.
Thanks for letting me know, I have updated the post. They have updated this since this was last available as you definitely couldn’t interact with them before.
Hi I’ve managed to collect all of the items except for 1. If the event so happen to return again, do I have to collect all 11 again before unlocking the Suave Socialite?
No you will only need to buy the final pack you need to claim the grand prize, you don’t have to start again.
