The time limited hobby event to unlock Halloween costumes is back! If you have already completed it (or the Halloween Quest they were originally from) you won’t get this event again, if not then you need to complete the chocolatier hobby 7 times in 7 days to unlock all the costumes.
You need to firstly accept this event, click yes on the pop up then you can buy a chocolatier bench from the promotions r us store if you have never done this hobby before, you can buy up to 15:
They can then be found in your inventory under hobby and career items so you can place them in your house.
-buy as many chocolatier benches as you can, 15 is the maximum!
-have a sim in a neighbours town so you can have an extra sim working on it
-have at least one sim working on getting to level 6 so all chocolates are unlocked (you only need one sim to reach level 6) you can use LPs to speed your way through the levels- I waited until the time was 1 hour 59 minutes and used 1 LP to speed up one sim so he reached level 6, levelling up in this hobby is quick so it shouldn’t take you too long!
-remember to click start new collection on the top of the hobby collection list once you have got all the chocolates otherwise you won’t find any new items, this post tells you how to do that.
-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:
The outfits can be found in the wardrobe in the outfits section, if you cannot find one of the outfits you may be looking in the wardrobe with the wrong sim as each outfit is only available for one age group and most only for one gender, for example the Scarecrow Pumpkin can only be found in the wardrobe for a male teen.
First set: Scarecrow Pumpkin for Male Teens and Fawn for Female Adults
Second set: Frankenstein’s Monster for Male Adults and Fairy for Female Teens
Third set: Dracula for Male Adults and Zombie Cheerleader for Female Teens
Fourth set: Viking for Male Teens and Witch for Female Adults
Fifth set: Candy Monsters for Toddlers and Ghost for Female Preteens
Sixth set: Astronauts for Toddlers and Pirate Skeleton for Male Preteens
Seventh set: Lion for Male Preteens and Unicorn for Female Preteens
These are all the outfits you can unlock in this hobby event

AD | Early Access to Beta Provided by EA/ Firemonkeys (Presented by EA Creator Network) may differ from actual version
Starts 28th October 2023
Complete this brand new live event (starts 28th October) to unlock pastel themed items and if you complete the whole event in the time limit you unlock the Pastel Pad 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.
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 Mint Mosaics 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 Mint Mosaics 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 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 SP, you will get the bonus arts and craft items as well if you speed it up!

Restocking
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

Click the event button in the top corner of your game to see your progress

22. Pastel Pad- you can only claim this pack if you have purchased all the other packs in this live event
This template 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. You can add up to 4 cars to this house lot!
The house is the same on the standard and the premium residence, the premium has a back garden with extra pool, hot tub and garden furniture:
I really love the exterior of this house- you all know how much I love pink! I was just hoping for a bit more pastel colours on the interior!
You also unlock:
Flooring: Honey Pastel Tile (S700)
Bathroom: Pine (S104,500) and Ash (10LP) Pastel Baths
Outdoor Furniture: Pink (S208,000) and Peach (23LP) Pastel Hot Tubs
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.
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 Pastel Pad Live Event (available now) will be available from 28th October for 13 days, complete in the time limit to unlock pastel themed items and house template

Update Videos
Eco Esplanade ALL Tasks and Prizes [Sim Springs 4]:
AD | Early Access to Beta Provided by EA/ Firemonkeys (Presented by EA Creator Network)
The fourth neighbourhood in Sim Springs, Eco Esplanade will be available from 17th October 2023 (with the Pretty Pastel Update) the aim of this event is to complete daily tasks to renovate house lots in the new neighbourhood, you will need to have completed the first, second and third neighbourhoods, Sandy Suburbs,Palm Promenade and Berry Boulevard before you can move on to this one. There is no rush to begin this, it will be available in the future when you are ready to start.
Click on the links above to see the daily tasks and prizes for that lot
3 of the lots are house lots and the final lot, Eco Center is a community lot which once unlocked can still be customised like a normal house lot but your sims cannot live in them. You will also be able to place any item from the dining room section of buy mode in the community lot for free!
The lots need to be renovated in the order listed above, you cannot do up more than one lot at a time and the next won’t unlock until the previous one has been completed. The time limit to complete a house is 10 days (14 days for community lot) with tasks to complete each day in Sim Springs, similar to Downtown Developer Events if you don’t complete in the time limit you will have to pay to be able to move on but there are prizes available, the extra zesty prizes contains a house template that can be placed in Sim Springs or Simtown.
Once Berry Boulevard is complete and you are level 40 or over you will get the task to ‘Build the Road to Eco Esplanade’ click on the orange Sim Springs symbol on the task or the bus stop in Simtown to go to Sim Springs:
You will see the roadblock sign, click this to get the option to build Eco Esplanade:
Once built you can build the first house Restful Retreat, the timer will begin once this house has finished building:
You can skip the tutorial if you remember how Sim Springs events work or you can complete the tutorial if you need a recap:
You can only complete one task at a time, unless it is a build task (buy items etc) then you can complete at the same time as another task
You can complete these tasks in any order
The tasks you need to complete will have the Sim Springs symbol on them:
More than one sim can be used for tasks that require multiple sims
You will need to buy some items such as trees, couches and computers to be able to complete tasks in Eco Esplanade, if you have a 3 star item at a house in Simtown you can store it in your inventory and place it in Eco Esplanade rather than buying a new one
Trash cannot be removed until you get the task to remove it
If you skip using SP on tasks that require you to clear up items it will remove those items
For tasks that require you to find items in objects if you use social points to quick complete you can find more
For tasks that require you to spend money you can buy items and then store them, this still counts TIP: I would save building rooms/ basements etc and placing flooring and wallpaper for when you need to spend money
For tasks that require you to place a certain number of items, if you store one of those items already in the house you will need to buy or replace it. For example, if you need to buy 6 windows and there are 3 there already but you store them all you will need to buy 6 windows rather than buying 3 more
Investment tasks are like mastery classes in SimChase, the more you spend, the less time it takes to complete TIP: check how much it would cost to skip with SP it may be cheaper or the same cost as the investment without the wait time
The lower the star rating, the longer a task will take to complete, I have included this in the tables below
If sims are inspired they will complete actions faster, I have also included these times in the tables below
You are aiming to complete the daily tasks within 24 hours, if you take too long you will have to pay to move on
For tasks that require more than 10 sims to complete at once you can spread them out throughout the houses you have unlocked in Eco Esplanade, for example at Creative Haven you need to Order 18 Gloves from computers so you can have 10 sims at Creative Haven and the other 8 in Restful Retreat

You can find this gallery under the real estate homes tab and it can be built on a standard or a premium residence, the first one is free then they cost simoleons depending on how many houses you have already built.
I’m in two minds about this gallery, the building is gorgeous but I don’t want to waste a house lot with another building that isn’t a house! They really need to add a new area of simtown for business builds.
The only difference between the standard and the premium residence is the garden:

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.
