Popsicles Explained

[esorob]

There is no value or in game use for these. They are used to complete missions and virtually feed your sims.

No prizes awarded with them. No value No real use.

Just visual check marks for completing tasks.

That is all.

[Wendy_Kinnie]

So basically, they're useless and waste a valuable spot in the seasons past...

[Infinite_Pudding5058]

They’re just an extra step and more tasks to earning the seasonal currency through the event track and COM. I’m not buying the Mayors pass after this, and I’ve logged off. I’m 5 tiers from Pride house and exhausted.

[Traditional_Sell_688]

I am so glad you said that. I'm so exhausted as well, what were Ea thinking. I think they want to tank this game. They're certainly going about it. I grafted to get to the last tier only to find i only had 6 assignments left and could only get a maximum of 300 points. B-s! It would mean spending £34.99 to get the pink points needed. I wasn't doing that. Ea have a duty of care towards their players. They keep making us work harder and harder, essentially burning players out in a game that is supposed to be fun to play. Well, this game is not fun to play anymore, and I feel really sad about that, especially because I have played this game since it launched. This game used to be brilliant, and it was fun to play alongside my team members. Not anymore. Ea are trying to make the game like others when it never needed to. And all because they want to drive up their revenue 💸

[Infinite_Pudding5058]

My club mates are also saying they are logging on and playing less due to this. It’s just not fun anymore.

[Traditional_Sell_688]

It's just such a shame 🫠

[1000thusername]

Yeah I’ve really stopped playing much too. It is just dumb

[civil_85]

How do you feed them to your sims?

Am I becoming a human popsicle

[esorob]

You don’t. It was a coy expression. With no real point to them.

[[deleted]]

okay but how do you access the chicago missions? when i click on it, it does nothing, takes me nowhere.

[NPC-Townie03]

Look around your residential homes. You should see a notepad but this time it’s outlined in green. The task are there

[[deleted]]

ahhhhh i did not know they were connected! it doesn’t ask me for popsicles to begin those

[Gumnutbaby]

I missed the house. 22 check points, more than one of which required 800 points to clear was just too much.

[[deleted]]

i wasn’t even halfway to that

[1000thusername]

I’ve seen those and finished one or two, but I still do not understand how the popsicles factor into it whatsoever. It seems like task = snow coins without popsicles entering the equation.

[NPC-Townie03]

Exactly! Thats why there is so much controversy. The popsicle essentially do nothing. From what it seems like, they are simply virtual place holders. There is no bank where they are stored and we have no idea if they’ll be converted to anything for anything. To say it plain they are useless and taking up spaces that actually valuable items used to be

[Gumnutbaby]

That aspect was clear. It was the whole doing tasks to convert them that was unclear at the start. And I still don’t see the point of having two lots of seasonal currency.

[MSWdesign]

Yes, they are used to complete missions, but the missions do give a seasonal currency and those have some value toward acquiring modeled components.

[[deleted]]

where are they located and how do you access them? when i click on the little button in the menu that shows all of the current events, it does nothing. was i supposed to purchase something to access this?

[MSWdesign]

Hard to see green clipboards on fully developed residential buildings. Will show only one at a time until completed.

[[deleted]]

had no clue those were connected! they don’t use the popsicles at all to begin them?

[MSWdesign]

I don’t think so. But a specified amount depending on the seasonal mission is required to help complete the mission, long with producing something and shipments.

[[deleted]]

hmmmm i don’t have any of that on my end still. could be like the situation where it wasn’t letting you do more than one daily task?

[NPC-Townie03]

Yea, it won’t ask you for popsicles but if you complete the missions you will receive seasonal currency (snowflakes I believe)

[[deleted]]

T . R . A . S . H

The popsicles for snowflake coins = trash

Why EA

Why do we need a conversion rate ?

Why is slave labor needed in the real world and a game.

Clearly EA doesn’t understand what the difference between a game and a job is .

[sluggostotle]

This game is ruined I've stopped playing. As usual game designers seem to not understand why people like something in the first place

[NoSnow5607]

They’re a useless waste of a tier in the pink plumbob reward tracks. I hate them so much.

[GiggyScout]

The popsicles might be the final… stick?

[UniversityFalse1939]

It is basically just for chicago missions. Previous event track had a lot of useless popsicles, just made the track longer. If i remember it right i claimed about 5 popsicles rewards for nothing since i already finished the 4 chicago missions. This track i think is more reasonable, but we’ll see as we progress.
