To celebrate 10 years of The Girl Who Games this month I am doing some giveaways and contests for you, my lovely readers to thank you for your support!
Pretty in Pink Contest
As you probably know by now I LOVE pink so I would like to see your best pink creations in The Sims Freeplay! Either a Sim, a room or a whole house- be creative!
1 winner will receive 3,500 LP and 2,000 SP which has kindly been provided by The Sims Freeplay team
So get creating, screenshot and email your pictures to:
This contest is being held a little later than I originally wanted so you can use items from the Pretty Pastel update. You have until 28th November 7pm UTC to enter and the winner will be contacted shortly after. THIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED– the winner has been contacted
The time limited hobby event to unlock Halloween costumes is back! If you have already completed it (or the Halloween Quest they were originally from) you won’t get this event again, if not then you need to complete the chocolatier hobby 7 times in 7 days to unlock all the costumes.
You need to firstly accept this event, click yes on the pop up then you can buy a chocolatier bench from the promotions r us store if you have never done this hobby before, you can buy up to 15:
They can then be found in your inventory under hobby and career items so you can place them in your house.
-buy as many chocolatier benches as you can, 15 is the maximum!
-have a sim in a neighbours town so you can have an extra sim working on it
-have at least one sim working on getting to level 6 so all chocolates are unlocked (you only need one sim to reach level 6) you can use LPs to speed your way through the levels- I waited until the time was 1 hour 59 minutes and used 1 LP to speed up one sim so he reached level 6, levelling up in this hobby is quick so it shouldn’t take you too long!
-remember to click start new collection on the top of the hobby collection list once you have got all the chocolates otherwise you won’t find any new items, this post tells you how to do that.
-most importantly: just keep going! I know it’s annoying when you get the same one constantly but you will eventually get the ones you need.
Prizes:
The outfits can be found in the wardrobe in the outfits section, if you cannot find one of the outfits you may be looking in the wardrobe with the wrong sim as each outfit is only available for one age group and most only for one gender, for example the Scarecrow Pumpkin can only be found in the wardrobe for a male teen.
First set: Scarecrow Pumpkin for Male Teens and Fawn for Female Adults
Second set: Frankenstein’s Monster for Male Adults and Fairy for Female Teens
Third set: Dracula for Male Adults and Zombie Cheerleader for Female Teens
Fourth set: Viking for Male Teens and Witch for Female Adults
Fifth set: Candy Monsters for Toddlers and Ghost for Female Preteens
Sixth set: Astronauts for Toddlers and Pirate Skeleton for Male Preteens
Seventh set: Lion for Male Preteens and Unicorn for Female Preteens
These are all the outfits you can unlock in this hobby event
YOU CANNOT UNLOCK ALL THE OUTFITS IF YOU DO NOT COMPLETE THIS EVENT IN THE TIME LIMIT
Wow. 10 Years! It still feels like yesterday when I sat down to write my very first post. I never dreamt I would still be going 10 years later!
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for your continued support, whether you have stuck around for the whole 10 years, dipped in and out or have recently discovered this blog. Without all of you I wouldn’t be doing this, I would have given up on this when life got tough but you have kept me blogging and it is an honour to help you all to enjoy the game to the fullest.
💛
To say thank you I have been running some giveaways and contests, the current contest is to create a new profile picture for this blog so give it a go if you would like! Stay tuned for a Freeplay contest coming really soon, if you subscribe to this blog you won’t miss out!
(I said last year I will be updating my catalogue posts- I am working on these! They are just taking a very long time so hopefully they will be all up before this blog reaches 11!!)
Thank you again for the past 10 years 💛

Starts 28th October 2023
Complete this brand new live event (starts 28th October) to unlock pastel themed items and if you complete the whole event in the time limit you unlock the Pastel Pad house template. This event is only here for 13 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!
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 button in the corner of the screen)
Here you will see you have collected enough items to unlock the Mint Mosaics 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 10SP or restock for 2 uses which will take 10 seconds this time
Buy the Mint Mosaics pack (click on the 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 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 SP, you will get the bonus arts and craft items as well if you speed it up!

Restocking
Each station (apart from the first candle one) comes with a stock of 7 which means you can use the station 7 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 10SP 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

This template can be found under the driveway homes tab and built on a standard or premium residence, the first one is free then they cost simoleons depending on how many houses you have already built. You can add up to 4 cars to this house lot!
The house is the same on the standard and the premium residence, the premium has a back garden with extra pool, hot tub and garden furniture:
I really love the exterior of this house- you all know how much I love pink! I was just hoping for a bit more pastel colours on the interior!
You also unlock:
Flooring: Honey Pastel Tile (S700)
Bathroom: Pine (S104,500) and Ash (10LP) Pastel Baths
Outdoor Furniture: Pink (S208,000) and Peach (23LP) Pastel Hot Tubs
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 LP, I can then turn the LP into SP using the social point plant on a normal garden patch- this was when it cost 5LP- the social point plant now costs 20LP 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.
Once the event is over it will convert your unused resources into simoleons, the conversion rate is half the amount of resources, for example, if you have 10,000 candles left over you will earn 5,000 simoleons, if you only have 1 of a resource left over you will only earn 1 simoleon. When a new live event becomes available you start from 0 resources
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!
The Pastel Pad Live Event (available now) will be available from 28th October for 13 days, complete in the time limit to unlock pastel themed items and house template
