Re: [NCQE] Create Dining Chairs/Table & Music Station missing

Good afternoon. I'm late getting started on my Sims, spending all morning long on my genealogy.

What I discovered was with just two tasks remaining, my Sim couldn't even find the Reclaimed wood Dining table to even work on.  I even changed out the wood working table, just in case.  No dice. So, I went to another task. ((This helps to keep me from getting too frustrated, which plays havoc on ye olde blood pressure.) At any rate, things went okay for about a minute.  

The next task I set out to complete, of the two that remain, was to have my Sim listen to Nature Soundscape radio.  Bought a radio, flipped through the entire set of stations to end up back at the beginning. Again, I switched out radios and tried again. Same thing happened. I'd surf through each channel to come up empty. 

So, I have to ask, is it just me? Or is this a snafu? Any suggestions are totally welcome.

    The radio station and the table are both rewards that need to get claimed before they appear in game. If you claimed them, and they still do not show up, I suggest to save, quit the game, delete localthumbcache and start the game again.

    I found I needed Handiness 6 (not 5 as indicated edit: or maybe I didn't claim it as mentioned by EnkiSchmidt), and it was under the "more choices..." selection. I accidentally did a normal dinning table first, then saw the "Reclaimed Wood Dining Table" under the "more choices..." selection.

    Thank you. I did check my Sim to make certain he had a high enough skill. He was on his way to level 7 at the time. I disabled my mods, which I've never had to do before when playing the Event, but it loosened up something. He was able to complete this task. Now I just have to figure out where that radio station is hiding , , ,

    Hey, thank you so much.  I went back into my game and checked the awards. Everything but the tattoo I didn't want had been clicked. But then a Claim All button appeared. Just to be on the safe side I did so. Then I went back to the Sim who is doing this Event. Found that the entire family was grayed out. When I got a notice one of them was enjoying the decor I suddenly recalled I'd sent them to Sunday Services, (a rabbit hole that allows Sims to attend church, since that is what I set it up for).  While I awaited their return, I went into build/buy mode, found the mini boombox, placed it on John's nightstand and clicked on it. Whoa-ho-ho, sure enough there it was in the first group of stations!  I made sure John was the one who was going to click on the station. I'll just have him take a nap. He's a teen, but he's always on the go, and not just because of this event.  At any rate, I'd mark yours as the solution, but my original post was moved over to this one, so I can't. But you managed with your timely advice to turn my day around. My hat's off to you, sir.
