Sul Sul Simmers, o/ Following all of the great insightful feedback you provided in our last feedback thread (see here), we wanted to make sure you could continue to do that for the Sweet Treat Showdown - Charming Gardens event. ❤️ Please use this dedicated space to share your thoughts and experiences competing in the bake off event with us. While we won't be able to respond individually to everyone, we will be taking it all on board. 🙂 (If you'd like to learn more about how the Sweet Treat Showdown events work, check out the FAQ guide @SimGuruMaaike posted 🙂) - Lanna

Guys,am I the only one for whom a new sweet treat quest started?Different prizes.Now it takes 475 cookies instead of 425 to open a normal box. Are they serious?It takes 8 crowns to open a royal box.Same number of cookies and crowns given for the special activities. Same formula for the baking event.The prizes are not so pretty (at least to me). Just a lot of small gardening stuff.The design team just doesn't listen to us.Design team, listen: as promised for this quest I will not use any cupcake, simcash or real money. I'll get what I get. This type of event is TERRIBLE.

You read the feedback from the the first quest,right?And made it worse.Nice work. I'll skip this one thanks.

In the first 3 baking challenges, none of them offered to buy more sugar. It's completely impossible to get to the ends of these challenges with only 30 sugar. There's also less options to spend sim cash, simoleons, and cupcakes to increase your odds. I also noticed less chances to get royal tokens in a round.The rounds also start with LOWER percentages than before. Round 1 used to start at 90%, now it's 85%. So it costs EVEN MORE SUGAR to get through EACH round.This challenge is actually MORE difficult than the last one. I can't imagine these are the changes that players requested.I failed 2/3 of the first challenges. 1 was failed at 92%, the next was 95%.

Trust their intentions...They dressed up this new version of the sweet treat event like if it's now easier to win, with 8 crowns instead of 10 needed to open a box and other bla bla. But it's actually more difficult.Now during the baking events there is no option to buy sugar cubes with simcash anymore. It means that it is more costly to win because in the previous event you could buy sugar cubes for a reasonable amount of simcash (around 30) and with that complete all the baking rounds.Now you can just use cupcakes (5 cupcakes cost 75 simcash) or if you lose one of the last rounds spend 100 or 150 simcash to go on.Mathematics: it now takes 20% less crowns to open all the royal boxes, but it takes 100% - 200% more simcash to be sure to pass through all baking rounds and thus get enough crowns.I don't call this improvement or good intention, sorry.

WARNING! I'm about to go full-on whine here, like the stuff of toddler tantrums. Everyone but the Monkey people may want to look away.It's back to school time, why haven't you given us a back to school event? I really really REALLY want a chance to get back the clothes I had from the last one! That cute solid colored pleated skirt, the cropped sweater outfit, the tied-off button down shirt (I think the stuff I want actually comes from the story relationships that became available with this event). I want it, and I want it now.Stop wasting our time with an event that people were pretty clear about hating, and give us a good old fashioned quest to earn stuff we actually want. You say you heard our feedback, so why have you ignored everyone's criticism and put out almost the exact same event with even less appealing prizes? That's a slap in the face.

It is so annoying that you are still getting thousands of senseless colours...and when the boxes are pretty much work they should be free and not every box a new colour....well i tried it again this time but i will give up on this....
Are you kidding me 8 colours of different ugly browns?
I love to play and i really tested it and tried it....
I will play chilled now and do not waste my time in your stupid greedy ideas...
Makes me a bit angry..even that this is only a game...
Please listen to us EA..and not only listen ..CHANGE it...take this stupid type of event out and please make updates which give us the fun with playing the game back.
It is not TSM anymore...it is baking and get ripped off all you earned online....new game title for me atm....lol
If you are not able to make this better ..then just be honest and change the game title into that...lol..
Sorry..but that is sadly fact....
I want to play TSM with new excitng updates...like new stories or other cool stuff and with that awesome boxes events from the past...not this baking catastrophe....
Nothing is happening from our ideas from the forums....no updates about the lvl 50 stop and you do not listen to us...
And now you are bringing this event a second time in a row...how can people earn so much gold and cupcakes in this short time in between both sugar treats?
We can not..and you know that....
Pretty disappointing..but life goes on...
Greetings and sorry about my hard words but we all need to tell this and show it with stopping the paymentsupport on this...

I keep on failing the first Bake Off. Every single time. It's a waste of time for me. I refuse to give you guys any more simcash. I'm getting more sugar cubes doing the small events. At this point I don't even care if I get half the prizes. This event is really unfair.
And you should give everyone 100 Simcash for the aggravation that we had to go through.
I know I went way past 150 simcash and I refuse to give anymore. I even don't use cupcakes anymore with the small events.
The animations are cute, no duplicates, but everything else I hate!!!

I got the wall planter, going to continue playing to see if I can get the other colors.
Have not spent any Simcash, simoleons, or cupcakes.
Just using sugar cubes.
There are two wall planters but one is picture size: disappointing.

Thank You!
Now trying to figure where to put it. I am not really good with the outside of my house. Not really a gardener.

I think I'm outta my mind.I keep playing the showdowns even if I already lose 4 out 5 consecutive showdowns T_T
The easy showdowns on the first few days were deceptive. Now, the showdowns are just plain cruel especially 9-part ones with Kid Chiffon. You'll be lucky to reach part 6.

@dissenterjasmine I agree. I couldn't even get past 4th one. It's like he needs 100% or something. And there's no way I'm going to spend simcash anymore so I'm going to have to take whatever Patty decides to give me. They definitely raised his percentage up considerably. I think you'd be lucky to get 200 sugar cubes and a possible cookie only if you actually pay for it. I don't get how people are actually finishing this challenge without hacked sim cash because I'm not going to waste all my reserves for this.

@givememore86 In the showdown with Kid Chiffon I had to reach 96-98% to make sure I get to part 6 which is the farthest my sim can win a showdown without spending a lot of resources. At Day 8, I decided not to use my depleted simcash & simoleons stash anymore for this coz it will surely bankrupt my sims! What I get, I just have to be satisfied with. FYI, I'm behind 1800 sweet treats & 27 royal treats.

@dissenterjasmineIf you are willing to spend money, you can get those in one day. I spent 100 simcash and 12 cupcakes to finish all three challenges (two with kid) and got enough treats to open 13 sweet boxes and 8 royal boxes... 100 simcash is less than half of $5... unless you have already... in that case i understand your frustrations but there are still 6 days more left...? Try not to use sugarcubes in the first 5 rounds (but yeah you have to spend simcash if you lose) edit: 1800 sweets is at least very doable with just sugarcubes in 6 days...
——-
I finally got the wall planters, all 6 colors, in succession 😂 its so pretty... spent 100 simcash and i guess the game rewards me for spending simcash lol... ill take it slow now...
