The latest Sweet Treat Showdown Event, Treatsylvania Haunt begins today (15th October 2019) at 10am PT for 15 days. You need to be at level 5 or over to be able to participate in this event.
How does the Sweet Treat Showdown Event work? As they all work in a similar way you can find my Guide to Sweet Treat Showdown Events here, in this post I will be showing you all the prizes available for this event and the quest goals to be completed.
Sweet Treat Fan Fave Quest
There are 8 parts to complete in the time limit to earn 10 Royal Treat Tokens:
There are 58 Sweet Treat Boxes to open with 400 Sweet Treat Tokens each time and 24 Royal Treat Boxes to open with 10 Royal Treat Tokens each time:
Each time you will unlock a new prize (or colour swatch for an item you have already unlocked) and you can buy multiples of each item once you have placed the first one!
If you unlock all the boxes (82 in total) you will unlock the grand prizes which are the Rise Again Coffin Bed and Hallowed Eve Up Do Hairstyle for your female sims:
The love is blinds hobby event is back from the 6th September for 7 days to unlock blinds and curtains- they even open and close! Complete the woodworking hobby 7 times in the 7 day time limit to unlock all the blinds and curtains, you unlock a pack at random each time. If you completed this before you will not get this event again, if you got some of them last time you will only need to find the remaining ones this time, for example, if you completed the collection 5 times last time to unlock 5 curtains/blinds you only need to complete it two more times this time to find the last two.
Firstly you need to accept the love is blinds event and it will reset your current woodworking collection so you don’t get a head start: If you say no you can start the event from the goal tab, once you have said yes you now need to complete the collection 7 times but you will not get extra time if you start late
NOTE: YOU NEED TO COMPLETE ALL FOUR ROWS TO GET ONE PACK!!
12 WOODWORKING ITEMS= COMPLETE COLLECTION AND UNLOCKS 1 PACK
TIPS FOR FINDING THEM ALL IN THE TIME LIMIT:
-have more than one sim working on it- you can buy as many woodworking benches as you want and you can find 4 more in the community center
-if one of your neighbours has the community center you can send another sim to their town to also complete the hobby
-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 longest option) so all woodworking pieces are unlocked (if you have previously completed the collection you do not need to get another sim to level 6 to complete this, you can just do the 5 hour option over and over)
-remember to click start new collection on the woodworking 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.
There is a new element now, from the hobby collection screen you can now use LP to finish a whole row instead of using the lucky spin to find one at random. The LP price varies depending on the row you are completing and how many you have left to find in that row: Definitely a great option if you have the LP to spare and want to complete this event really quickly! BUT you have to complete the previous row before you can use LP on the next row and since this was first available it costs a lot more LP (for example, the first row of this event used to be 22LP it now costs 126LP for me) this video shows you how this works:

A new reality TV show has come to The Sims Mobile, The Sweet Treat Showdown! This post explains how these events work
How does it work?The host of the show Patty Cakes will guide your sims through the event which you can start if one is available from the ‘activities’ tab in the event button in the top right of the screen or by clicking on the baking station in Parkside:
Your sim will bake over several rounds against their opponent, a professional chef, the more skilled the opponent the more rounds there are in a challenge. Your sim needs to click the ‘Bake it!’ option on the baking station in Parkside, when they do this they will either succeed or fail (similar to risky actions) For each round they win they will add rewards to their prize basket.
If they succeed, the rewards from that round are added to their prize basket and the challenge continues or you can choose to collect the content of their prize basket and end their run (earning you the prizes)
TIP: You don’t always have to try and make it to the end of a challenge, you can play it safe and end their run to get the content of the prize basket rather than losing it on your next attempt
If they fail, they get the option to either take a consolation prize or ask for Patty’s help to fix their dessert (which costs simcash, the amount varies depending on which round you fail on) If Patty fixes the dessert your sim can continue the challenge.
Can I see if they are likely to succeed or not?Yes, at the bottom of your screen while completing the challenge you will see your success chance, you will also see this when you click Bake it!:
How often can I do the Sweet Treat Challenge?You can store up 3 attempts which means you can do 3 challenges in a row (if you succeed on a round you continue, if you fail this counts as an attempt so if you failed 3 times in a row you will need to wait) and then you will have to wait 8 hours for another attempt.
How can I improve my chances of winning a round? Your sims can complete prep actions around the bakery location, these will show how much they will boost your chance of success, you can complete these actions until you are confident to attempt the ‘Bake it!’ option.
Other prep actions give rewards such as Sweet Treat Tokens, Royal Treat Tokens, Fashion Gems, Life Tickets or Simoleons- these rewards can’t be claimed right away though, these will go into your prize basket so you have to win a challenge or claim them after a round.
What are sugar cubes for? Sugar cubes are like energy, these are required for the prep actions. Your sim gets a full bar of sugar cubes at the beginning of each challenge but it doesn’t refill over time or at the start of a round. You can purchase more sugar cubes for simcash and some prep actions award sugar cubes.
How do I collect the rewards from my prize basket? The contents of your prize basket can be claimed by winning a round and select ‘collect and quit’ or you will automatically claim the prize basket if you win the final round of a challenge.
What do I spend my prize basket tokens on?You can buy prize boxes with these, there are two prizes boxes the Sweet Treat Box or Royal Treat Box, you can find these in the rewards tab of the event button:
How do I open the prize boxes in the Sweet Treat Showdown?There are two prize boxes the Sweet Treat Box which can be opened with Sweet Treat Tokens and there are a certain amount of prizes to collect and the Royal Treat Box which can be opened with Royal Treat Tokens, there are a certain amount prizes to collect from that box (the amount of tokens needed to open the boxes and amount of prizes available varies depending on each event):
Can I get duplicates from the prize boxes? No these boxes don’t give duplicates (yay!) so once you have a prize you won’t get it again- you can also buy multiples from buy mode once unlocked
How do I earn Sweet Treat Tokens and Royal Treat Tokens?You can earn these by completing the Sweet Treat Challenge or other events in the ‘activities’ tab of the Sweet Treat Showdown screen (button in the top right)
How do I earn the grand prize?You can earn the grand prize once you have earned all the prizes within the Sweet Treat and Royal Treat Boxes (you can see your progress on the Sweet Treat Showdown screen)
I don’t want to finish a Sweet Treat Challenge how do I stop it?If you click on the ‘view’ button next to your sims picture you will see the option to forfeit so you will earn the consolation prize. I would suggest you just click ‘Bake it!’ as you might win and be able to collect your prize basket but if you fail you still get the consolation prize:
