The outdoor event to unlock new outdoor items is back for 10 days! I am so glad this event is back! I have been waiting to be able to complete this one again for so long! You need to complete the survivalist hobby 7 times within the 10 days time limit to unlock all 7 outdoor packs. You get a new outdoor pack at random each time you complete it.
You need to have built the Campgrounds and completed the Vacationers Guide to the Outdoors Quest so you can do the survivalist hobby (I really wouldn’t bother trying to complete if you haven’t even built the campgrounds yet as the event time limit will be over before you can start)
If you completed this event before you will not get it again this time. If you got some of the packs last time, you will only need to find the ones you have left to unlock this time, for example, if you unlocked 5 packs last time you will have to complete the survivalist hobby collection 2 more times this time to complete this event.
You need to firstly accept this quest, it will remove the badges 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 tab but you won’t get extra time if you start this late!
12 SURVIVALIST ITEMS= 1 OUTDOOR PACK
TIPS FOR FINDING THEM ALL IN THE TIME LIMIT:
-have more than one sim working on it if you can! You can only have one sim completing the hobby at your campgrounds but you can send a sim to a neighbours to try and complete it faster
-if you are not at level 6 yet it may take you longer to find all badges, speed up with LP if possible (wait for the timer to reach 1 hour 59 minutes and you will only need to use 1LP instead of 2!)
-remember to click start new collection at the top of the survivalist hobby collections list once you have got all the badges to be able to complete the collection again, this post explains how to do that if you are unsure
-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 Packs
Pack 1: The Plants 1 Pack- found in the trees, plants and flowers section of buy mode
Pack 2: The Red and Blue Dome Tents Pack- found in outdoor furniture of buy mode

The designer rugs event is back for 7 days! To complete this event you need to complete the fishing hobby 7 times within the 7 days to unlock all the rugs- quite a challenge this one if you aren’t already on level 8. You get a new rug at random each time you complete it, once you unlock a rug you get to keep it even if you don’t find them all.
If you completed this event before you will not get it again this time. If you got some of the rugs last time, you will only need to find the ones you have left to unlock this time, for example, if you unlocked 5 rugs last time you will have to complete the fishing hobby 2 more times this time to complete this event.
You need to firstly accept this quest, it will remove the fish you have already found from the collection so you don’t get a head start.
If you say no you can start it from the active tasks tab but you won’t get extra time if you start this late!
TIPS FOR FINDING THEM ALL IN THE TIME LIMIT:
-have more than one sim working on it if you can! You can send a sim to a neighbours park and if you have build the beach or campgrounds you can also fish there!
-if you have completed the fishing hobby before do the 10 minute option over and over this will help you find them all quicker
-if you are not a level 8 yet do a longer option so your sim can level up as quickly as possible, you can find the level up % in this post
-remember to click start new collection at the top of the fishing hobby collections list once you have got all the fish, this post explains how to do that if you are unsure
-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.

THIS EVENT IS OVER
The Chic Boutique Live Event unlocks boutique items to create your own clothing store! This event will be available from July 17th for 10 days! Update your game to the new Chic Boutique Update to start this event
Live Events are very similar to a community event but this time you don’t need help from everyone who plays the sims freeplay to unlock the prizes, there are only personal prizes this time!
This event is only here for 10 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!
NOTE: I completed this on the Early Access Beta so some information may be slightly different but I will update the post as I complete the event.
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 dresses button in the corner of the screen)
Here you will see you have collected enough items to unlock the Boutique Wallpapers and Floors 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 10SPs or restock for 2 uses which will take 10 seconds this time
Buy the boutique wallpapers and floors pack (click on the dresses 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 party 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 gems as well if you speed it up!

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

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
NOTE: 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.

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. 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.
