Constructor Coins

You earn constructor coins by:

Personal Progress prizes

Completing Daily Goals

Capsules


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 Craft Challenges [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 craft challenge 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 SIMS FREEPLAY

The Sims Freeplay- Between the Lines: Courting Crimson Update

AD | Early Access to Beta Provided by EA/ Firemonkeys (Presented by EA Creator Network) may differ from actual version


Update available from 13th October 4:30am UTC


Halloween is back in Simtown! Keep reading to find out what is happening in this update.

 

SEASON PASS

Courting Crimson Season Pass will begin when the new update is available.

As well as the Free and Premium pass there is another pass that costs even more money- Premium Pass Plus which if purchased will instantly boost your progress on the season pass by 10 levels (so if you are on level 2 it will unlock up to level 12 straight away) and also unlocks a different colour of one of the outfits you unlock in the season pass which is only available if you purchase the plus pass. We all know what I think of the season pass, it was already ridiculously overpriced but to then add another one that costs even more is a joke!!

 

MARKET RACE

Some of you may have played Market Race before when it was being tested, it is now available to all players.

The aim is to complete Community Market requests and earn chequered flags to beat 4 NPCs to the top prize. There are prizes for the players who come 1st, 2nd or 3rd and these include items needed to upgrade the community market storage, store upgrades and plants.

In this update there will be 3 Market Races between 13th-16th October, 9th-12th November and 22nd-24th November.

Once you have unlocked an item on the bar at the top you will be able to use the arts and crafts items you have collected and constructor coins to purchase that pack which you will then be able to find in the home store.

Constructor Coins

You earn constructor coins by:

Personal Progress prizes

Capsules


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 Craft Challenges [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 craft challenge 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 SIMS FREEPLAY

The Sims Freeplay- On the Fence Woodworking Hobby Event

AD | Early Access to Beta Provided by EA/ Firemonkeys (Presented by EA Creator Network) may differ from actual version


Starts 4th September (sorry for the late post!)

A brand new woodworking hobby event will be available from 4th September for 7 days to unlock a door, windows and fences. Complete the woodworking hobby 7 times in the 7 day time limit to unlock all the items, you unlock a pack at random each time.

If you haven’t done the woodworking hobby before click here for more information

You need to buy a woodworking bench from the promotions r us store to complete this hobby

Click here to see the prizes

Firstly you need to accept the event and it will reset your current woodworking collection so you don’t get a head start:

If you say no you can start the event from the goal tab, once you have said yes you now need to complete the collection 7 times but you will not get extra time if you start late


NOTE: YOU NEED TO COMPLETE ALL FOUR ROWS TO GET ONE PACK!!

12 WOODWORKING ITEMS= COMPLETE COLLECTION AND UNLOCKS 1 PACK


TIPS FOR FINDING THEM ALL IN THE TIME LIMIT:

-have more than one sim working on it- you can buy as many woodworking benches as you want and you can find 4 more in the community center
-if one of your neighbours has the community center you can send another sim to their town to also complete the hobby
-it is easier if you have all the sims in one house, maybe build a room for them so they are all together but you don’t have to!
-have at least one sim at level 6 or working on getting to level 6 so all woodworking pieces are unlocked- you only need to do the shortest option 6 times to reach level 6 (while the event is available, it takes longer to level up when there is not an event)
-if you have previously completed the collection you do not need to get another sim to level 6 to complete this, all your sims can be at level 1 and find all level items
-remember to click start new collection on the woodworking hobby collections list once you have got all the pieces
-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:

First of each is free

Timber Touch Pack

Fences: Corner Pine Slats (S52,000)

Pretty Perimeter Pack

Fences: Double Pine Slats (S55,000)

THE SIMS FREEPLAY

The Sims Freeplay- Between the Lines: Tale of Knights Update

AD | Early Access to Beta Provided by EA/ Firemonkeys (Presented by EA Creator Network) may differ from actual version


Update available from 25th August 2:30am UTC


Firstly sorry I missed the last update, I was on my honeymoon! This is a fantasy regal themed update including a major (and arguably problematic) change called Season Passes, keep reading for more information.

 

SEASON PASS

Every update will now have a Season Pass, you may have seen these in other games, basically they are a complete money grab!

There are two passes, Free and Premium, everyone gets access to the free pass but you will need to spend real money if you want to unlock the Premium pass for a chance to earn those items.

Daily tasks have changed again to include tokens as prizes for completing them, these tokens are used to level up on the pass. There are 4 daily tasks for free pass players and 2 extra daily tasks for premium pass players. Daily tasks change every 24 hours.

There are also Season tasks which will be available for the duration of the season pass event or until you complete the task, these are usually longer tasks but you will earn more tokens for completing them.

There are 60 levels in total, each time you level up you will unlock a prize (for the premium pass, you unlock a prize at most levels on the free pass but not all of them)

What do I think?

The prizes in my opinion aren’t even that great, there are a lot of doubles- so the same item in a different colour. Is it worth $9.99? I don’t think so! But the problem is players will feel pressured into buying it every update for fear of missing out.

My main issue with the season pass is that everything else now seems to be an afterthought- the new craft challenge doesn’t even have names for the packed they are just ‘pack 1, pack 2a..’ and the prizes for all events are now mainly community market upgrade items, cupcakes or mystery keys which are useful but I would be more likely to complete an event if they contained some great build or create a sim items- even the items that are available are not interesting. All the good prizes are now behind a paywall and considering it is called the Sims FREEplay it really is not in the spirit of this game. At the moment I am sad that this game is nothing like it used to be, some changes have been needed but others make this game less enjoyable to play.

I would really love your opinions on Season Passes, whether you love or hate them let me know and I will pass your feedback on.
