Tips to help you prepare for the event and progress intelligently.
Rewards listed in the form of prizes and milestones.
Day countdown so you can see my personal progress.
Crafting requirements for the prizes that required it.

Tips

1. If you’ve purchased a station before, you do not need to repurchase, only unlock the station.
2. SP (Social Points) are used to speed up actions/unlock the requirements of prizes.
3. It is recommended to have at least 13 Sims (The maximum amount for each craft station.)
4. It is recommended to have the maximum amount of craft stations or purchase them for future use.
5. Try to complete the daily goals every day.
6. Do not stop crafting candles (unless you have enough Constructor coins to purchase all the prizes.)
7. Try to restock all the stations to 9 uses every night so that you are ready to work the next day.
8. In order to attain a prize, you must unlock it first. This is achieved by crafting a certain # of items to achieve milestones. Once a prize is unlocked, you must craft a certain amount of items to purchase it.
9. Optional: Use a timer instead of relying on in-game notifications.
10. Once the event finishes, you will have 2 days to purchase any unlocked prizes but you won’t be able to collect anymore.
11. Once the event ends, your leftover crafts will be transformed into simoleons.

3 Days Left- Day 8

Sessions completed: 7

Milestone #14 reached: 15 Constructor Coins

This allowed me to claim all daily goals.

Purchased Reception Desks!

2 more prizes to go!

Milestone #15 reached: 2 SP

32 Constructor Coins

20 Constructor Coins in one draw! ??

2 Days left- Day 9

Completed all the goals!
Milestone #16 reached: 15 Constructor Coins

I have enough to purchase the male & female hair, however since I completed my daily goals for the day and I’ve unlocked all my milestones, I don’t want to take any chances with not being able to complete the unlock/buy a prize goal so I’m holding out.

1 Day Left- Day 10

It was a very smart decision to hold out on purchasing male and female hair prize yesterday. Today, I was able to complete all the daily goals because I purchased the male and female hair!

I had 5,000 candles from yesterday’s sessions which granted me 60 Constructor Coins.

I’ve been collecting bonuses every 15mins and I have almost all the crafting supplies for the last prize except glass. I’m keeping my eye out on those constructor coins as well.

With a great amount of luck, I should be able to complete the final prize and win all of the prizes. Wish me good luck!

24:00 Hours Left

I managed to hoard 13,382 glass on bonuses alone but nowhere near the required 16,500.

With the event over, and that final supply worth 39SP, I knew I could get it with great dedication.

Many hours later, 13+ Sims on the Cooking Hobby + Social Points Plant and some American Horror Story to keep me motivated, I had attained 40SP just in the nick of time.

This allowed me to claim that final prize which can only be claimed once every single prize above has been claimed.

My first time winning a live event and it was fun, the thrill of the competition.
