It was interesting for sure, It only took a couple in-game days for my sim to complete all the tasks for the 2 activities. I think this made me play the game more and was way less annoying that the last in-game event where you just opened the game and pressed "claim reward". I haven't really played the Sims much, since Lovestruck released and was a buggy mess.
I will say that this 5 week event is gonna be problematic for some with time constraints. I work a job with a varying schedule and I already know week 2 is gonna be hard for me to complete so the extra 2 weeks that the event remains open is going to be a lifesaver.
I did have a question though; what is the alternative for Simmers who don't have the Paranormal Stuff Pack to get a seance table? I'm lucky enough to own most packs but I'm sure not everyone is that fortunate.
Some Quests are Pack-specific, so you’ll only see these if you have the Pack installed. For example, if you have the Paranormal Stuff Pack installed, you may get Pack-specific Quests that use features and Items from that Pack. If you don’t have that Pack installed, these Quests won’t appear for you.
Packs may help you earn Event Points faster because you’ll have additional objectives to complete, but they’re not required to take part in the Event.
