The Country Homestead Event to unlock furniture is back for 10 days from the 13th January. To unlock all the country homestead furniture packs you need to complete the woodworking hobby collection 10 times in the 10 day time limit! Once you unlock a furniture pack you get to keep it even if you don’t find them all. If you have never done the woodworking hobby click here for details.
If you completed it last time you will not get this event again. If you won some of the packs last time then you will only have to unlock the ones you have left, for example, if you unlocked 5 packs last time you will only have 5 packs left to unlock this time. You need to buy a woodworking bench from the promotions r us store to complete this (or use the ones at the community center)
You need to firstly accept this event, it will remove the woodwork 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 active tasks goal tab:
Once you have said yes you have to complete the collection 10 times in 10 days
YOU NEED TO COMPLETE ALL FOUR ROWS (FIND ALL 12 ITEMS) TO GET ONE FURNITURE PACK!!
TIPS FOR FINDING THEM ALL IN THE TIME LIMIT:
-have more than one sim working on it (the shortest option is 5 hours)
-have at least one sim at level 6 or working on getting to level 6 if you haven’t done the hobby before so all pieces are unlocked then you can just keeping doing the 5 hour option over and over (if you have completed this hobby before you don’t need a sim to reach level 6 in this hobby again!) -remember to click start new collection on the woodworking hobby collection once you have got all the pieces so you can find them again -don’t panic! They will bring it back again if you don’t manage to complete it this time, these events usually reappear a lot! -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.

Prize: HANS Panel and Dishwashers
Where can I find them? The HANS Panel is in the electronics section and the dishwashers can be found in the kitchen section of the home store
How much do they cost? The first HANS Panel is free, after this they cost 15LP each. The Stainless Steel Dishwasher costs S150,000 and the Brown Black Dishwasher costs S26,000
Is it worth it?
HANS Panel- You can use the HANS panel to open and close the curtains/blinds in your house, dim the lights and change the colour of your house lights. I am not really sure what the point of changing the colours is but being able to open and close the blinds all at once is a great time saver!
You can dim the lighting by 25%, 50% and 75%:
You can change the house lights colour to Yellow, Red, Blue and Green:
Dishwashers- It is worth completing this quest in the time limit just for the dishwashers! They are amazing! For all of you who know the annoyance of completing the cooking hobby and having hundreds of plates laying around that have to be cleaned up individually this is a must! Just select load all plates on the dishwasher and they will all disappear!
Once you have used the dishwasher you need to wait an hour before you can use it again:
The Long Hair Event is back again for 7 days! It is available from the 26th December for all those players who didn’t manage to complete it before or who weren’t playing when this event was previously available (if you completed this before you will not get this event again)
This event unlocks long hairstyles for your female adult sims. To get all 9 long hairstyles you need to complete the fashion designer hobby collection 9 times in the 7 day time limit! You get a new hairstyle at random each time you complete the collection (find all 12 fashion pieces), once you unlock a hairstyle you get to keep it even if you don’t find them all. Click here to see what the hairstyles look like
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.
If you click no you can start it from the active tasks tab, you will not get any extra time if you start this late.
IF YOU FOUND SOME OF THE HAIRSTYLES LAST TIME YOU WILL START FROM WHERE YOU GOT TO, IF YOU COMPLETED IT YOU WILL NOT GET THIS EVENT AGAIN
YOU NEED TO COMPLETE ALL FOUR ROWS (FIND ALL 12 FASHION PIECES) TO GET ONE 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.

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 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)

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:
