THIS EVENT IS NOW OVER!
ONCE THE 14 DAY TIME LIMIT IS UP YOU WILL HAVE 2 DAYS TO BUILD ANY AREAS YOU HAVE LEFT– you will not be able to collect anymore fruit or coins, you have to use the resources you have, if you don’t have enough resources all you can do is use social points to buy the requirements or wait until the event returns!
This is the second time this community event has been available, it is only here for 14 days and the aim of it is to collect enough fruit from special new plants (found in the event tab of buy mode) to unlock the Tropical Romance Island and build all the places on the island.
If you completed it last time you will not get this again as you have already unlocked all the prizes. If you started it last time but didn’t complete it you will start from where you got to, so you will only have to collect enough resources to build the places you have left.
The community part of this event is, the fruit 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
There are a few goals to complete first that show you how this event works:
Plant a banana tree (find the banana tree in the events tab of buy mode and place in one of your sims gardens- first one is free) 
Collect some fruit- 12 seconds (click on banana tree)
This will take you to the personal progress tab in the island event progress button that can be found in the corner of the screen:
Here you will see you have unlocked the island ticket!
Buy tropical romance island ticket- go back to the personal progress tab and click purchase on the island ticket 
Visit the tropical romance island (click on the boat in simtown and select tropical romance island)
NOTE: you will see two destinations on the boat, if the Magical Rainforest is locked then you will have to wait for them to bring that community event back again before you can go there but you can still access the Tropical Romance Island for this event!
Use the event spin flower (buy the coin flower patch from the event tab and select the spin flower option, the first time is free, after that it will cost you 450 bananas)
Check the community progress (click on the island event button and find the community tab)
Check the daily goals (click on the island 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 fruit appear above that sims head, click to collect bonus fruit!)
Continue collecting fruit- this is the last step but the event is not over, keep collecting fruit to unlock everything on the island!
If you want to speed up a collecting fruit action it will cost you SPs, you will get the bonus fruit as well if you speed it up!

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 coin and free bananas 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 flowers and constructor coins needed for it you can click purchase) or on a community prize you click claim to complete this
TIP: if you have already claimed or brought a prize that day maybe wait until the next just incase you don’t have enough fruit or coins to buy or there isn’t one to claim the next day, this way you will still be able to complete all the goals and earn your bonus constructor coins!
Personal Progress
The personal progress is how far you have got on this event, the more fruit you collect the more places on the tropical island you can unlock and build.
NOTE: the bar at the top of the personal progress tab shows you how close you are to unlocking an item, the more fruit you collect the more the bar will fill up. Once you have unlocked an item on the bar at the top you will be able to use the fruit you have collected and constructor coins to purchase that place on the tropical romance island.

Constructor Coins
You earn constructor coins by:

Coin Flower Patch
Earning Construtor 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 bananas on the Spin Plant (a good way to use up any spare bananas) which will earn you constructor coins but you will earn less than you earn using the Mega Spin Plant
ONCE THE 14 DAY TIME LIMIT IS UP YOU WILL HAVE 2 DAYS TO BUILD ANY AREAS YOU HAVE LEFT– you will not be able to collect anymore fruit or coins, you have to use the resources you have, if you don’t have enough resources all you can do is use social points to buy the requirements or wait until the event returns!
Once the event is over you will earn simoleons for any resources you have left over:
