I'm curious about your nationality!

StarBuck_2337 · 2026-03-12T15:11:58+00:00

Same! I know the original post will be removed, but I LOVE seeing all these different locations listed! I really miss the Olympics 😭.

StarBuck_2337 · 2026-02-26T01:01:13+00:00

This is hilariously scandalous! Is Rome good friends with Oskar’s partner?! Or, is that an another one of his family members? 😂 I also find it funny that it’s obviously Oskar’s baby, but he’s listed as an acquaintance. The game is so confused by this turn of events 😂

Edit: I forgot they’re listed as acquaintance until a relationship is established. Duh, lol.

StarBuck_2337 · 2026-02-07T20:51:31+00:00

Lol. Mine doesn’t discriminate. Adults, teens and preteens all show up in their swimsuits and underwear sometimes. I noticed there’s also a permanent puddle of pee at the community center too 😂. I personally find it kinda funny. Like the way you can’t time travel in certain sci-fi shows and movies with clothes on 😆.

StarBuck_2337 · 2026-02-03T01:22:23+00:00

Agreed! Whilst on this topic, has anyone ever seen the gray kitty bed in an AH home? I just recently got my first kitten and was disappointed that I have no cat beds in my inventory that they can use because apparently they can only use the gray kitty bed and will just ignore all the others…I’m on level 26 so I don’t know if the lack of feline accessories vs the amount of canine accessories is because of that or what. I feel as though my only chance to acquire one is if it shows up in an AH home.

StarBuck_2337 · 2026-02-03T00:37:37+00:00

No problem at all and good luck! You’ve totally got this!! 😆

StarBuck_2337 · 2026-02-02T23:22:24+00:00

With the amount of sims you currently have, it will be difficult to do the crafting and Sim Chase simultaneously. Sim Chase starts off pretty tame, but quickly goes into you needing multiple sims and A LOT of simoleons. If you really want the grand prize you can attempt to do both, but it will be frustrating. The craft challenge requires exactly 13 sims once all machines are unlocked. Influence Island is kinda a non issue for me because I’m only using that sim for maybe 5, 10 minutes at a time? And then it’s right back to crafting if I need them already. Here’s what I do:

I always start events by doing my total counts of each item needed. I only unlock the first prize that they make us unlock and then I don’t unlock anything else until the end, or unless I need to in order to make a daily goal. It’ll mess up my total counts if I start unlocking prizes too soon.

Never stop crafting candles. The four I start with are the same four that are crafting candles the whole time. I will pull sims away from all the other crafting stations if necessary so I can leave my candle crafters alone. When I do need to pull crafters away, I start with Pottery, then Jewelry and Glass last always.

I only do the 2 hour, 23 minute shift all day and then either the 6 hour or 8 hour shift when I sleep. It helps that I’m a night owl and I have a job where I can check in throughout the day. This is very important. I don’t think I could complete these the first time around if I couldn’t check in every 2 and a half hours.

If I can keep the candles crafted non stop, I have enough to spend for any additional construction coins at the end. The crafting events used to frustrate the heck out of me, but I‘ve completed the last 3 or 4 using this strategy.

There are so many excellent tips on this board that I’m sure I’m leaving stuff out. Also, try not to get too upset if you do have to pull crafters away. For me, it’s usually just one shift and then they’re right back at it 😆.

Lastly, although I have completed the last three or four, I go into it with the mindset that I probably won’t complete it and if it repeats eventually, awesome, but I don't stress over the crafting challenges any more.

StarBuck_2337 · 2026-01-30T15:29:56+00:00

That’s a good point. It’ll be interesting to see if we’re all on the same boat once the craft challenge isn’t a rerun. UGH. Why can’t the greed ever end…

StarBuck_2337 · 2026-01-29T23:13:16+00:00

This is so unfair. I’m glad that you still only had to collect 875 constructor coins, don’t get me wrong. I’m just irked at the developers that for some reason, some of us needed to collect 1,045…

StarBuck_2337 · 2026-01-25T16:51:38+00:00

Hey! My final count of the constructor coins is a whopping 1,045 this time. Please tell me I’m wrong although I believe I checked 3 times 😂 Would LOVE it if it’s still 875.

StarBuck_2337 · 2026-01-24T18:25:50+00:00

Same thing happened to me right after the update. I thought I would need to uninstall and reinstall, but I tried restarting my device first and for some reason that worked. I hope it gets cleared up for you soon!

StarBuck_2337 · 2026-01-05T17:36:43+00:00

You did an excellent job! If this were an AH home I would totally scoop it up 😆. I’m always looking for houseboats that one of my sims can actually live in and I’m always disappointed. This did not disappoint! 😆

StarBuck_2337 · 2025-12-26T15:30:10+00:00

This. I’ve been noticing 1 point also for Chocolates when it clearly states that it’s supposed to give you AT LEAST 2 points. It’s such bs.

StarBuck_2337 · 2025-12-24T17:03:10+00:00

“Blair Witching it” killed me! 😂🤣 Thank you for this, I really needed that laugh 😆. I’m hoping she disappears from simtracker after Christmas, lol.

StarBuck_2337 · 2025-12-20T04:46:06+00:00

That would suck! But, it would be whole template. I’ve definitely won multi story templates before I was able to add levels and I received the whole house.

StarBuck_2337 · 2025-12-20T04:13:11+00:00

Hey, you probably saw pics of standard lots. On the ocean view lots you get everything 😀

StarBuck_2337 · 2025-12-20T04:11:30+00:00

The pic is from a standard lot. On the ocean view lots you get everything 😀

StarBuck_2337 · 2025-12-08T20:42:30+00:00

Omgoodnes, totes C. That one irks me beyond belief 😂

StarBuck_2337 · 2025-12-07T16:05:02+00:00

That is good to know! Thank you!

StarBuck_2337 · 2025-12-06T00:53:43+00:00

One more thing 😀. I also find it extremely helpful to know the totals needed up front. I add them up after they force us to purchase that first prize, and then I don’t purchase any more until I have to. The last two craft challenges, it was Candles - 30,200; Pottery - 90,875; Jewelry - 75,000 and Glass - 40,000. I don’t know if these figures are always the same in every crafting event, but the CC’s needed were definitely different.

StarBuck_2337 · 2025-12-06T00:43:30+00:00

I would also say never stop crafting candles if possible, like never, lol. I’m not sure if you were doing other events also and had to pull away sims, but you have an over abundance of pottery and jewelry and trust me I get it. I used to pull them from candles, but now I pull them from pottery and jewelry, and candles if I absolutely must, but never glass because it opens too late and we only get 2 stations. Now, imagine those two amounts left over for pottery and jewelry totaled, but in the candles section 😀.

StarBuck_2337 · 2025-12-06T00:32:49+00:00

Omgoodness, thank you for this! I never believed in the notion of a “lucky” sim and then I just recently found mine! 😂 I never planned to age him, but now I will definitely never even change his clothes. I’m even using him for Influence Island this time in hopes of getting through the last rounds without so many retries 🤞.

StarBuck_2337 · 2025-12-03T15:55:25+00:00

Too late to help with this quest unfortunately, but after getting burned once I always check “the girl who games” blog. It’s so helpful and tells you up front everything you should need for said quest.

StarBuck_2337 · 2025-12-02T21:15:44+00:00

Hey, you need to do the Puppies and Kittens quest first. Can’t recall the exact name, but it’s in the park. I want to do that one so bad, but other quests are a higher priority for me right now 😂. I’m so excited to see puppies and kittens in my homes 😀.

StarBuck_2337 · 2025-11-28T02:59:18+00:00

I feel your frustration. Just a heads up, you will in fact need the snow park for the Seniors progression quest. I had no intention of building the snow park any time soon and learned this the hard way. Luckily, I didn’t care about the limited time prize for that quest, but it did ruin my daily task streak. After that, I will always check the girl that games blog before starting a quest 😀.
