Problems Collecting the Sugar Skulls

I have no clue if it still works, but the offering has to be made at night if I recall. Then you have to look around to see if any “event” Sims have spawned. You don’t get skulls from the tombstone itself, but rather have to chat with and ask special event Sims for one. While the event was going on, the event Sims had sugar skull face paint on I think. I was able to make this work a while back (after the event was over), but I don’t know if it was due to a mod or cheat to be honest.

Thanks. A couple people have told me this, but I swear I've done it during the day in another save with no issues. I could be misremembering, though. I'll give it another go at night when I play today.

It’s only an event I believe. You have to ask a certain sim that only shows up when the event is live.

No, you can definitely still get the sugar skulls even though the event is over. I tested the sugar skull thing in a different save recently before I tried it in my SuperSim save and it worked.

Those sims do spawn but it's like looking for a needle in the haystack. Even when the event was on they didn't just appear everywhere. In my game quite a lot of them spawned near the park in Oasis Springs. You need to travel to a few community venues to look for them.

I've heard this from a few people as well. Funnily enough, I tried it in StrangerVille recently when I was testing to see if the sugar skull thing still worked and I had no issues getting a Day of the Dead celebrator to spawn. It was the neighbourhood with the trailer park. My Sims were living in that starter trailer. She didn't have the face paint but she was wearing the dress and had the role listed above her head. I was able to get a sugar skull from her after befriending her.

If doing it at night doesn't work, I guess I can try going to the park or something. Can't hurt.
