Complete this brand new live event (starts 26th July) to unlock 1950s themed items and if you complete the whole event in the time limit you unlock the Mid-Century Mansion 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.
Check out my Guide to Completing Live Events (including tips!) HERE!
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!
Want to skip the tasks list? Click here to head straight to the prizes!
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 Callback Clocks 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

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

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 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.
Check out my Guide to Completing Live Events (including tips!) HERE!
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 Girl Who Games 
There seems to be a glitch in the live event. My Sims are done making candles and I’m unable to collect them.
The bubble doesn’t appear but you should still be able to click on your sims to collect.
I’m still unable to my sims are frozen in place waving.
Force close your game and try clicking on the sims again, you need to click on the sims not the station and it may take a few tries.
Can I complete this event even though I have updated my sims?
This live event is not currently available.
I’ve tried numerous times and its still not working.
So I’ve noticed clicking on the sim with the plumbob above their head doesn’t work, you need to click on another sim first. Does that make any difference?
I noticed the glitch too. An easy way to collect is to go to another lot, then return and you will be able to collect.
Hello,i was just wondering if it is possible to finish this event for free.I did the math and it seems that it is possible only if i set timers and collect the stuff every two and a half hours,and i have to do that 8 times a day…20 hours a day.So tell me please if my calculations are right and it was made to push me into buying credits or maybe i misunderstood something and it is easier to finish this event without buying anything
Your calculations are correct, the 2 and a half hour option over and over is the only way to complete this in time. I would suggest not worrying so much about completing it the first time, these events return so you will start from where you got to this time and will have less packs to purchase next time and more chance at completing it in time.
What’s the minimum time needed to unlock all prizes? Do you happen to know that? I only started playing Sims again about a week ago and had to start from zero. I only reached the level required for the event on Sunday (August 4). I would really love to get that mansion and my Sims are working hard, but is it even possible to do the event and unlock all the prizes in a total of only 6 or 7 days (not sure what it said when I got access to the event) or am I wasting my time? Thank you. 🙂
Even if you did have the full time, unless you can do the 2 and a half hour option for the whole event you are going to struggle to complete in time! I would suggest trying to earn the packs you really want this time, then when the event returns you will start from where you got to and have less packs to purchase next time so will have more chance of completing it.
I really want to get the house but it feels so unachieveable, any tips?!, I don’t have any social points to speed it up, and I don’t wanna spend real money.
Unless you can do the 2 and a half hour option all the time it is fairly impossible to complete in the time limit, I would suggest trying to earn the packs you really want this time, then when the event returns you will start from where you got to and will have more chance of completing it.
When the event ends, will I be able to purchase the mid-century mansion or other prizes?
No you cannot purchase these when the event is over, you will need to wait for it to return to try and complete it.
