The Sims Freeplay- Chocolatier Special Hobby Event

THIS EVENT IS OVER

The time limited chocolatier hobby event to unlock the gingerbread furniture is back from the 25th March but it is only available for 7 days. You need to complete the chocolatier hobby collection 7 times in the time limit to unlock all the gingerbread furniture packs.

If you completed this event last time you will not get it again, if you unlocked some of the packs last time you will only have to find the ones you have left, for example, if you unlocked 6 packs you will only have to complete the hobby one more time to get the last pack

Click here to see all the prizes

You need to firstly accept this event, click yes then you can buy a chocolatier bench from the promotions r us store if you haven’t already:

It can then be found in your inventory under hobby and career items so you can place it in your house. Once placed you can select ‘make chocolate’ for 3 hours 15 minutes:

Never completed this hobby before? Read my Chocolatier Hobby post here 

12 CHOCOLATES= 1 GINGERBREAD FURNITURE PACK


TIPS FOR FINDING THEM ALL IN THE TIME LIMIT:

  • Buy as many chocolatier benches as possible, the maximum is 15 so you could have 15 sims completing this hobby at once
  • Have a sim in a neighbours town if they have a chocolatier bench 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 may need to 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 they reached level 6
  • If you do want to speed it up, wait at least 15 minutes until the timer is 2 hours 59 minutes or below then it will only cost you 2LP instead of 3! This post may help if you want a quick way to earn LP
  • Remember to click ‘start new collection’ on the top of the hobby collection list once you have got all the pieces otherwise you won’t find any new items, this post explains 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

The Sims Freeplay- Cars In Lots Feature Quest

Early Access to Beta Provided by EA/ Firemonkeys (Presented by EA GameChangers)


LEVEL UNLOCKS: 7 (build the car dealership first) UNLOCKS: ability to add cars to house lots


Do you want to add cars to your house lots? Not just parked outside but actually inside the grid? Once you complete this feature quest you will be able to add cars anywhere on a house lot! To start this quest you need to have built the car dealership then find the mechanic at the nightclub. There is no time limit but it will cost you simoleons to begin this quest.

What is a feature quest?

  • A feature quest unlocks and introduces a new feature
  • The quest is shorter than a main or discovery quest
  • There is no time limit or time limited prize
  • Costs simoleons to start the quest (cost varies depending on your level)
  • You cannot start a feature quest at the same time as another feature or discovery quest
  • There are two feature quests currently in the game, this one and the L-Shaped Rooms Quest. You can select which feature quest you want to do when you click on Lee (if you haven’t completed the other one already)

Times may vary depending on the star rating the item has

Watch my step by step walkthrough of this quest here!

  • Visit a house with a car
  • Move car onto a lot: open buy mode and click on the car, it will move to the grid and you can then place it like any object, click the green tick to place it

  • Return car to parking space: from buy mode click on the blue arrow and the car will go back to the parking space (you can also click on the car outside of buy mode and select ‘return to parking space’)

  • Move car to new location: go back into buy mode and move it back onto the grid and place it (you can place it on any floor and in any room that has a free space)
  • Take photo of the car- 15 seconds (select the option on the car with a sim)

  • View a car’s available actions (click on the car with a sim)

  • Show Lee photos- 1 minute (Lee is at the nightclub)

The Sims Freeplay- Adding Cars to House Lots & Driveway Homes

Early Access to Beta Provided by EA/ Firemonkeys (Presented by EA GameChangers)


Once you complete the Cars In Lots Feature Quest you will be able to add cars inside the house grid so they don’t have to be in the parking space any longer! In this post I will explain how this works and also explain how to add more than one car using the driveway home template from the Grand Garages Live Event.

Moving A Car Into The House Lot

  • To do this you need to be in buy mode and then click on the car in the parking space, it will automatically go to the grid so you can move it and place it like you would any object.
  • If it is shaded red you cannot place it there as something is in the way, if it is green you can click the green tick to place it.

You don’t have to place it outside, cars can be placed on any floor and in any room as long as there is space for it: 

Moving A Car Back To The Parking Space

There are two ways to do this, in buy mode you can click on the light blue arrow that appears when you click on the car or outside of buy mode click on the car and select ‘return to parking space’

 

Driveway Homes

If you unlock the Family Garage Home in the Grand Garages Live Event you unlock a new house template that allows you to build the house up to the footpath and add 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.

The lot sizes are the same as normal so either 18×18 or 18×36

The Sims Freeplay- French Romance Live Event

THIS EVENT IS OVER

The french romance live event is back for 12 days, if you manage to complete in the time limit you will unlock the french chateau! If you completed this event last time it was available you will not get it again, if you started it last time but didn’t complete it you will start from where you got to last time, for example if you only had one prize pack left to buy you will only have to collect enough resources to buy that prize pack to complete the event. If you didn’t start this event last time you will start from the beginning.

Live Events are very similar to a community event but you don’t need help from everyone who plays the sims freeplay to unlock the prizes, there are only personal prizes! If you haven’t already you need to update your game to the refined romance update to get this event again

Check out my Guide to Completing Live Events (including tips!) HERE!

This event is only here for 12 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


Want to skip the tasks list? Click here to head straight to the prizes!


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!

IF YOU UNLOCKED ALL THE STATIONS LAST TIME THE FRENCH ROMANCE EVENT WAS AVAILABLE YOU WILL NOT HAVE TO UNLOCK THEM AGAIN THIS TIME, YOU CAN USE THEM STRAIGHT AWAY (if you cannot use them you will need to contact the makers to see if they can fix this for you)

Even if you did this event last time you will still get most of these goals:

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 french romance heart event button in the corner of the screen)

Here you will see you have collected enough items to unlock the mood lighting! (unless you unlocked this last time) You will still need to buy the pack with the items before they will be available in your home store- which is one of the goals coming up! (keep reading for information on all prizes!)

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 10SPs or restock for 2 uses which will take 10 seconds this time

Buy the mood lighting pack (click on the french romance event button, scroll down and click purchase- this will cost you 50 candles) NOTE: you will not get this goal if you completed it in this event last time

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 french romance 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 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. When you need to restock you will have two options:

  • Restock 18 uses which happens instantly but will cost you 10SPs

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

Your Progress:

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

Daily Goals

Check on the first tab every day because if you complete all the daily goals you will get additional constructor coins

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 items each day!

Prize Progress

The prize progress is how far you have got on this event, the more arts and crafts items you make the more prizes you will unlock

The bar at the top of the personal progress tab shows you how close you are to unlocking an item, the more arts and crafts items you collect the more the bar will fill up. Once you have unlocked an item on the bar at the top you will need to buy it using the arts and crafts items you have created and constructor coins collected,  then it will be available in your home store:

House Tour Video- French Chateau:

I am sooooo in love with this château! How beautiful is it?! 🙂

Good Luck Everyone!


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 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 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.

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.
