The Charming Barber Hair Event to unlock male hairstyles for your adult sims is back from the 12th March! You have 7 days to complete the fashion designer hobby 8 times to unlock all the male hairstyles. You get a new hairstyle each time you complete the collection (find all 12 fashion items) once you unlock a hairstyle you get to keep it even if you don’t find them all.
If you completed this event last time you will not get it again, if you unlocked some of the hairstyles last time you will only have to find the ones you have left, for example, if you unlocked 7 hairstyles you will only have to complete the hobby one more time to get the last hairstyle.
You need to firstly accept this quest, it will remove the fashion designs you have already created from the collection so you don’t get a head start.
This screenshot was from a previous time this event was available, this time we only have 7 days
If you say no you can start it from the active tasks tab, you will not get any extra time if you start this late.
YOU NEED TO COMPLETE ALL FOUR ROWS TO GET ONE HAIRSTYLE!!
(12 FASHION ITEMS= 1 HAIRSTYLE)
TIPS FOR FINDING THEM ALL IN THE TIME LIMIT:
-have more than one sim working on it, you can have as many sims as you want completing this hobby at once but you will need a fashion studio for each of them
-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!
-if you can, do the 10 minute option over and over, you will find the most designs this way (once you have a sim at level 6)
-have at least one sim at level 6 or working on getting to level 6 (maybe do the 12 hour option) so all designs are unlocked (don’t know if you already got a sim to level 6? If you have previously completed the collection you reached level 6 or you can see when you look at the hobby collection, if boxes are greyed out you haven’t completed it yet)
-remember to click start new collection on the fashion hobby collection once you have got all the pieces
-most importantly: just keep going! I know it’s annoying when you get the same one constantly (those heels are a nightmare!) but you will eventually get the ones you need.
The Glam Mansion Live Event is back from the 9th March to unlock glamorous items and if you complete the whole event in the time limit you unlock the glam mansion template. This event is only here for 9 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. If you completed this event last time you won’t get it again, if you started this event last time but didn’t finish it you will start from where you got to last time.
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 Varnished Walnut Floor 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 Varnished Walnut Floor 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 drinks 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 SPs, you will get the bonus arts and craft items as well if you speed it up!

This house 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. There are already 3 sports cars on the driveway (but you can still purchase the final car parking space for S1,500,000 to add 4 cars to this house)
Once you purchase the final space you will be able to add another car but you need to have 4 adult/senior sims living in this house to add the fourth car otherwise it will just switch their car to the new one you have just brought.
This house is very different on a standard and a premium residence! As you can see below the premium is double the size of the standard (the standard is sort of the premium split in half):
I’m not a fan of this house, if I managed to complete this event in the time limit I don’t think I am going to waste a spot building it. I do prefer how it looks on the premium to the standard (the standard looks a lot like a museum with all the displays!)
You also unlock:
Decorations Section: Gold (S135,000) and White (15LP) Wall Displays and Black (S625,000) and White (65LP)Jewelry Displays
Doors Section: Villa White Bifold Double (S95,000)
The 3 sports cars at the Glam Mansion can also be brought from the Car Dealership:
Pearl Purple Sports- 225LP
Luxury Black Sedan- S875,000
Red Convertible- S1,250,000
If you haven’t built the dealership yet these cars will be available once built

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.

THIS QUEST IS OVER
Christmas seems to be on track this year, will your sims get the chance to have a holiday instead? No chance! Join them for this 13 day quest from the 12th December! There are 13 sets of goals to complete in the 13 day time limit so there is a set of goals to complete each day, if you complete the quest in the time limit you win the amazing Albion Square template! Make sure you update your game to the 2020 Christmas update to be able to start this quest
You have to wait between completing each set so you complete one set per day, after completing a set you have to wait for a certain amount of time before being able to continue with the quest (the time varies depending on how long you take) unless you are behind then you will move straight onto the next set once you have completed the previous. You can use social points to skip the daybreak but it is very expensive:
TIP: there are lots of tasks that need to be done more than once, this year you can use LP to skip all these tasks or you can still use the maximum sims you can to complete the task but remember if you just use one sim you will run out of time (the amount of sims you need to complete an action will probably vary depending on the level you are on but the amounts shown in this post are the maximum)

If you completed this quest in the time limit you will be able to build Albion Square in your Simtown, keep reading for information and pictures of all the prizes you unlock in this quest
You cannot complete this quest or earn the prizes once the quest is over
Watch my walkthrough of this quest here:
Prizes
THE FIRST ONE OF EACH PRIZE IS FREE
First Set: Pruned Plants and Planks Pack
Trees, Plants and Flowers- White Topiary (S100,000)
You will find Albion Square under the driveway homes tab on a standard or premium residence, the first one is free, after that the cost in simoleons depends on how many houses you have already built. You can add up to 4 cars to this house lot!
The other three car parking spaces need to be unlocked by purchasing with simoleons:
Additional Space One: S250,000
Additional Space Two: S750,000
Additional Space Three: S1,500,000
Once you purchase an additional space you will be able to add another car but you need to have more than one adult/senior sim living in this house to add more than one car otherwise it will just switch their car to the new one you have just brought. For example if you wanted 3 cars in this house you need 3 adult or senior sims living in this house.
Once unlocked you will be able to interact with all the surrounding areas too such as the Christmas tree, phone booth, sled in the park and be able to collect your daily reward from the snowy red mail box:
I really love this house template, I love the London theme and the fact that there are 3 townhouses in one really fits in with that. This still works like a normal house so you can only have 4 sims living here at one time.
You could always demolish this house and build one house in it’s spot if you would prefer.
The only difference between the standard and the premium is the back garden is bigger on the premium and there is a little park behind the houses. I don’t think the extra park is needed so I prefer this house on the standard residence.
The standard is 18×18 and the premium is 18×36 so you can only edit the house, you can’t edit the park area next to the house or across the road. On the premium the little park behind the houses is in the grid so you could replace that with another house if you wanted to:
As there are 3 different houses I have made a key below so I can show you the inside of each of the houses:
1
2
3

You also unlock:
Kitchen/Countertops- Cream Double Oven (S101,000)
Windows- White Oriel Window (S72,050)
Bay Windows- White Curtain Single (S700,000) and Double (S900,000)
Doors- Green Red Garland Quad (S145,000)
Fences- Ash Slats Corner (5SP) Quad (5SP) Double (5SP) and Single (5SP)
Sims can prepare roast turkey in the oven
The bay windows are amazing, the curtains can be opened and closed and you can even put items in them this year!
TIP: If you do want to move the bay window you need to remove the items inside it first as they aren’t technically in the room
The Urban Chic Hobby Event is back for 6 days from the 20th November to unlock outfits for your male and female adult sims! You get a new outfit each time you complete it so you need to complete the collection 8 times to unlock all the outfits, once you unlock an outfit you get to keep it even if you don’t find them all. If you completed this before you will not get this event again, if you got some of the outfits last time you will only need to find the remaining ones this time, for example, if you completed the collection 6 times last time to unlock 6 outfits you only need to complete it two more times this time to find the last two outfits.
You need to firstly accept this quest, it will remove the fashion pieces you have already created from the collection so you don’t get a head start.
If you say no you can start it from the goal tab. Once you have said yes you now need to complete the collection nine times but you will not get extra time if you start late
NOTE: YOU NEED TO COMPLETE ALL FOUR ROWS TO GET ONE OUTFIT!!
12 FASHION PIECES= COMPLETE COLLECTION AND UNLOCKS 1 OUTFIT
TIPS FOR FINDING THEM ALL IN THE TIME LIMIT:
-have more than one sim working on it
-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 (maybe do the 12 hour option) so all designs are unlocked (if you have previously completed the collection you do not need to get another sim to level 6 to complete this) -if you can, do the 10 minute option over and over, you will find the most designs this way (once you have a sim at level 6)
-remember to click start new collection on the fashion 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.
Outfits- you can find the female outfits in the outfits and shoes sections of the wardrobe and the male items in the tops, pants and shoes sections
YOU CANNOT UNLOCK ALL THE OUTFITS IF YOU DO NOT COMPLETE THIS EVENT IN THE TIME LIMIT
