Season Experience: Navigating Popsicles & Snowflakes

Popsicles? Missions? Snowflake Coins? Here's how it all connects.

 

Hello, Mayors.

We understand there have been some challenges recently, and we appreciate your feedback. 

Let’s explore the new season experience with Popsicles and Snowflakes, outlining how you can progress step by step.

Overview

The Chicago Missions event is a limited-time experience where you’ll collect Popsicles, complete themed missions, earn Snowflake Coins (Seasonal Currency), and unlock exclusive buildings — including the grand prize: the Gothic Tower.

Cool off your Sims (Popsicles), stay on top of weekly missions, and build your way through the Season Special Collection to unlock a city-wide Heatwave visual effect and one of the event’s most iconic structures.

🧊 Event Essentials: Popsicles, Missions, Coins

🍧 Popsicles


Popsicles are used inside Chicago Missions to “cool down” your Sims and check off mission tasks.

Gather Popsicles by progressing through event tracks, collecting Free Mayor’s Pass rewards, tapping video bubbles, and completing seasonal tasks. You can even receive them as gifts from in-game messages.

 

📋 Chicago Missions

Each week, you’ll get up to four missions, and completing a mission earns you Snowflake Coins!

You can access the Chicago missions via the green clipboard bubble in your city.

Each mission consists of 3 sub-tasks, including collecting Popsicles. Complete all sub-tasks to finish the mission and claim your rewards!

 

❄️Snowflake Coins

Snowflake Coins are the Seasonal Currency of the event. You can earn them by:

  • Completing Chicago Missions
  • Hitting Weekly Collection milestones, 
  • Unlocking tiers in the Premium Mayor’s Pass
  • Progressing through Event Tracks.
  • Scooping up special offers.

Exchange them in the Seasonal Currency Showcase to purchase limited-time buildings.

 

🏛️ Season Collections & the Gothic Tower

 

Each week’s buildings contribute to Weekly Collections and the full Season Special Collection

Engage with Weekly Collections to earn extra Snowflakes by collecting specific buildings.

Complete the full set to unlock the majestic Gothic Tower, which activates a stunning toggleable "Heatwave" city-wide effect.
