THIS EVENT IS NOW OVER
LAST CHANCE
The Simtown Health Spa event has ended. You now have 7 days from the 14th November to buy any of the prizes you didn’t purchase during the time limit but you will not be able to collect anymore gems or coins towards them so if you don’t have all the requirements you will either have to use SPs or not get the prize.
This community event started on the 2nd November- this is the second time this event has appeared on the game.
If you started it last time you will start from where you got to, if you completed it last time you won’t have to complete it again but you can still collect gems to help the community progress!
This event is only here for 12 days and the aim of it is to collect enough gems from special gem deposits (found in the event tab of buy mode) to unlock all the items in this event
For the community part of this event (yes those prizes are the same as last time) the gems everyone collects (you do not need neighbours this is everyone who plays the games progress) is added together and we unlock new items when we have collected so much
NOTE: All the information in this post is from the event last time- I am completing it again so if anything has changed I will update as I progress
Place a quartz deposit (find in the events tab of buy mode- you can only buy 4)
Collect some gems (click on the quartz deposit to collect)- 10 seconds
This takes you to the personal progress tab (you can get to it by clicking on the flower event button in the corner of the screen)
Here you will see you have unlocked the spa robes! (keep reading for information on all prizes!)
Use a coin flower patch (buy the coin flower patch from the event tab and select the spin plant option)
Check the community progress (click on the flower event button and find the community tab)
Check the daily goals (click on the flower event button and find the daily goals tab- claim the ones you can!
Remember to claim your rewards!
Collect bonuses (while collecting after a certain amount of time you will see the gem appear above that sims head, click to collect bonus gems!)
Continue collecting gems- this is the last step but the event is not over, keep collecting gems to unlock everything!
If you want to speed up a collecting gems action it will cost you SPs, you will get the bonus gems as well if you speed it up!
Stuck on these tasks? Watch my video here:

Daily Goals
Check on the first tab every day because if you complete all the daily goals you will get additional rewards
NOTE: remember to click CLAIM once you have completed a daily goal to collect the reward and remember to claim your free constructor coins and free gems each day!
How do I claim or buy a prize to complete a daily goal?
You need to buy one of the personal progress items that you have unlocked (once you have all the gems and constructor coins needed for it you can click purchase) or on a community prize you click claim to complete this so its a good idea not to claim or purchase all items as soon as you unlock them so you can earn the 25 coins for completing the daily goals each day

The template already contains the prizes that you have unlocked during the event so you don’t have to buy any extras for this and you still have your free ones to use in a different house
Premium
Standard
Earning Construtor Coins? Last time I use 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 400 Quartz for the Spin Plant (a good way to use up any spare Quartz) which will also earn you constructor coins but the amounts are less than they are from the Mega Spin Plant
Community Progress
The community progress is the combined progress of all players gems collected to unlock new items for all of us!
NOTE: You DO NOT need neighbours for this- this is everyone who plays the games progress NOT your neighbours progress

The Simtown Health Spa event has ended. You now have 7 days from the 14th November to buy any of the prizes you didn’t purchase during the time limit but you will not be able to collect anymore gems or coins towards them so if you don’t have all the requirements you will either have to use SPs or not get the prize.

The simtown market has been added to the October 2016 update of the sims freeplay. If you have finished upgrading all the workstations at a profession workplace and have been wondering if there is any point in sending your sims to work to collect resources or if you have reached your limit on the resources you can store, and find it a waste just to sell them- then this update is for you!
The simtown market allows you to use these spare resources to earn prizes! You earn market points by shipping market orders (these orders are made from resources, for example, you may be asked to ship 1 coffee and 2 popcorns) The more orders you ship, the more market points you earn, meaning the more prizes you will unlock!
The more developed your workplace is (the more workstations you have built/upgraded) the more market points you will earn as you will receive a bonus %
Couriers appear at the workplace and they need to be helped by a sim who works in that profession. Like helping a normal sim in this profession, when you complete all the tasks and help the courier you earn market tokens but there is a time limit in which you will need to help them in otherwise they will leave and you won’t receive the tokens.
NOTE: it costs SPs to speed up helping the courier- not LPs
Shipping tokens earns you a lot more points than shipping normal resources but you can only store 3 so you have to use them to collect more!
Simtown Market Tutorial– completing the tutorial unlocks access to regular special events, allowing you to earn prizes you previously missed out on or completely new prizes!
NOTE: you cannot start the tutorial until there is an event available- check in your goal tab to see if an event has started or is coming soon!
(a sim needs to be working at the studio to be able to help the courier- the same way you help other sims at a profession workplace)
TUTORIAL IS COMPLETE!
Special Events- I am not going to be creating a post each time a new one is released as I believe they will all work in the same way
All you need to do is ship market orders and earn market points to fill up the bar in the time limit. Each time you reach a line on the bar you will receive a prize! The green is your current progress towards the prizes.
Most of the prizes are different for everyone as it depends what you have already unlocked but the grand prize is a new item so that is probably the same for everyone!
If you have completed all the current orders you will need to wait 30 minutes for new ones to appear or skip waiting for 10SPs- you can also unlock new slots for SPs!
Currently I am still upgrading my workstations so I probably won’t be using this too much unless I cannot collect new items without selling my resources but I think it is a great idea!
Time Extension Event- this works the same as the other events but instead of just using resources from one profession you can ship resources from all professions and the grand prize for completing this is a time extension which can be used if you run out of time on a quest or hobby- previously only available as a VIP perk
If I’m on the last task helping a courier will he stay if the time runs out?
He doesn’t seem to stay anymore annoyingly! (let me know if this changes again!)
If you unlock an extra slot costing social points in the market event does it stay unlocked for future events?
Yes, they will stay unlocked
Can I save courier tokens for the next event?
Yes you can!
Does the courier arrive at a specific time?
The courier doesn’t seem to appear at a certain time, you need to have a sim working and the more customers you get through the more chance you have of seeing the courier
Thanks for reading!

In case you haven’t seen from my Twitter or missed the notification on my home page I am currently in San Francisco at the EA headquarters!
I arrived on Monday after my first ever flight (11 hours= boredom!) and with the 8 hour time difference it is currently Thursday and I am still suffering from jet lag- I keep waking up at 3am and my body thinks it’s time for lunch! However I can’t really complain as I am having an amazing time here! The weather has been like Summer and I actually got sunburnt on the way to the Golden Gate Bridge- anyone from England will know that October is coooooold!
This trip is an amazing experience and I feel so privileged to be apart of this and I cannot thank EA enough for this opportunity. I have loved meeting people who are as passionate as me about gaming!
So obviously I haven’t had the chance to really play my game yet for the Halloween update but I know the quest is the Night of the Candy Monster Quest again like last year- (https://thegirlwhogames.wordpress.com/2015/10/21/the-sims-freeplay-night-of-the-candy-monsters-quest-halloween-2015/) this post may be slightly different to this years but I will update if possible and create a post on what has changed in this latest update as soon as I can once I return home! Time to start my last full day here before I start heading home 🙂
UPDATE: This years Night of the Candy Monster Quest post is now available here! I haven’t completed it myself yet but the first three sets of goals are up to date, if you notice any changes in the last two sets please comment on the post and I will update it- thank you!
