Sugar Skulls available?

With the Jungle Adventure addition I was able to purchase the 1st Sugar Skull from a vendor. I was surprised to be able to do this, as I heard these skulls were from a limited timed event that is unknown if it will ever come back. I'm not really interested in knowing where/how exactly to get the rest (I'd like to discover them myself), more so just wondering if it's even possible to get the rest.

Can we currently complete the Sugar Skull collection without cheating?
  • How about if you run a retail store? If you have one scull set for sale (if it can be sold there), can you restock it with ease, or will you need to work hard to get another item? Asking for a friend who has nearly the full collection.

    i will point out that the display case needs either cheating or downloading from the gallery, but the skulls themselves are still acquirable


    I bought a Sugar Skull display case from the build store, but I am playing on the PS4.
  • @kalaksed I can never find the sim strolling about, so I've never gotten a sugar skull. Any tips?

    you can, actually:
    edited to put everything in spoilers, since you said you wanted to find it for yourself. the first spoiler is a hint in the right direction, the second spoiler is a lot more detailed

    but you need dead sims for it



    since active tombstones are required (i have a graveyard set up that i use for this... examples will be from that)

    Spoiler

    here's the list of options you can get at a tombstone (or urn);

    you'll want to 'leave sugar skull offering', which is what my sim is doing here

    (note the thought bubble over her head)

    if that works (it doesn't always), there will be a flash of light over the tombstone and this notification in the corner:

    there's also a very noticeable noise, as well

    that will spawn a sim, occasionally newly generated, but usually an existing one, to be a 'day of the dead celebrator' dressed in one of the day of the dead outfits and usually with the facepaint. in my case, it randomly picked one of my high end celebrities, basically my game's diana ross:

    the good news is, even if they're a celeb like cecelia here, you can still get the 'ask for sugar skull' option
    https://i.gyazo.com/15b0839fd215dda400fbd7913177123a.png

    but you do still have to befriend them, which is more difficult with celebrities:

    my example sim here isn't the best at social interactions, so i'll leave it here... but, once you get a sim up to maybe 1/5 of the relationship bar to green, they should give you a sugar skull when asked. there's a cooldown before being able to summon another celebrator, so it takes a while to get the whole collection without cheating or downloading it from the gallery, but it is still doable
    also, it seems all the other tombstones and urns in my graveyard are from sims whose ghosts have been culled, so i can't check to see if the cooldown is on a per tombstone basis or not




    Your version of Diana Ross but with a name closer to Cilla Black ?

    (although unless you're a Brit of a certain age range, this will go well and truly over your head)

    I had a sim that died and tried to offer a sugar skull but I could never locate the sim that was supposed to walk around the neighborhood. Have you guys had any better luck?

    When we had the challenge, in my game most of them spawned at the entrance to the big park in Oasis Springs.
