Plant Sim Challenge 2018
I missed the Plant Sim Challenge in 2017, yet the locked rewards are still in the menu. Will the challenge, and related Egg Hunt, be reactivated in March? If so, when?

THIS is why there should never be arbitrary challenge reward objects for Sims games! Using a career rewards cheat to obtain something that is temporary, yet still visible in the store is just... wrong. Now using buydebug on the other hand... :P
@CMeki, Thanks for adding that info! 😎
@Floymin, yes, I agree that it is very odd. 😃 I had never tried using the career unlock cheat for the Challenge items before -- I just knew that you could get the items this way. That said, since I totally missed the Day of the Dead Challenge due to a broken computer, I am thankful that I can put all the sugar skulls in my Sims' homes with this cheat. 😇 I would have completed the challenge if I had access to my computer during this time. Certain things were beyond my control.😞
I guess it is good for people who can't play The Sims 4 as often as they like. Maybe certain challenges happen during times when they are super busy with work stuff. Maybe they have to spend time in the hospital or care for someone who is very ill during a challenge and therefore can't play. And I can only imagine being a teen and getting grounded from the computer while a challenge like this is running! 😮 😞😢
In theory these items should not be available through a cheat, but in reality, for cases like these, I'm rather thankful that they are! ❤️
The funny thing is that people who play TS4 on a console like PS4 or Xbox still see these items even though the console version didn't exist when these challenges were running! 😮 🤭 I do not know if they have access to the same cheats PC players do. If they don't then the pictures of those items just sit there taunting them! 👿 😢
Now, about the items you unlock with these 2 cheat codes: I tested the items required for the PlantSim challenge and they do work just like they did when the challenge was running! 🙂
I also tested the Sugar Skulls and the Sugar Skull Display Case with these cheats. (I'm not sure, but I think the special item you got when you found all the sugar skulls during the challenge was the display case. You need to put the skulls in this case to activate the special interactions with the Grim Reaper.) They appeared to work like the description said (smoke came from them and my Sim), but without the Grim Reaper on my lot, I can't be sure if the special interactions are available with items gained by cheating! 🤔 I'll have to kill off a Sim to test this out though, so it will take me a bit longer to test this. 🤨
The Easter Eggs unlocked a giant plush Easter Bunny (like the Unicorn, Teddy Bear, Dragon, Dinosaur, etc.) that your children can hug and play with. But since you can just use the cheat to unlock the Easter Bunny, you don't really need to unlock the eggs, unless you just want them for decoration! 😃
Hope this helps! Happy Simming! 🥳
