@Ilois4I love that you kept statistics for your sweet sweet challenge. I'm going to implement that the next time I go around.
I'm just estimating here, but I lost approximately 13 Rounds, 50 cupcakes, 60k simoleons, and approximately 150 simcash. Not to mention most of the times that I failed it was on the first or second round of the Bake Off. They certainly need to tweak the bake off's better and lower the Royal Treats boxes from 10 to something like 7, so it's doable for everyone even when they fail. It is really hard to get the royal tokens when there is really only two ways to get them. I have been told that you can get an extra Royal token if you get a commercial after your long event. So I tried to do that and I think they took that away from my game. I'm just hoping that the next sweet treat challenge I will not like any of the things and I could skip it. I am happy though to report that I did finish this sweet we challenge and got the cool hair and coffin. But to be honest it was a lot of work and a lot of stress. The only positive thing that came during this challenge was that I was able to get the beginner's package and that helped a lot.
I really tried to give these Sweet Treats Challenges a chance, but after this 4th one, I can honestly say I just don’t enjoy or like them.
When one has to keep a calculator close by to keep figuring the percentages for winning a challenge, that’s no longer fun for me.
There were only a few prize rewards that I actually liked, but overall I’m not a fan of multi-colored cobwebs, tears in the wallpaper or Left-handed wrist cuffs as rewards.
IMHO The cost of this event is still too expensive & a waste of hard-earned resources. It is also too long and too time consuming IRL.
I was so happy to buy that beginners pack with real (and very reasonable $$$), because I got exactly what I wanted- hairstyles, clothing, fireplace, bed etc. And it didn’t take 14 stressful days to do it or every last cupcake, simolean or SimCash I have.
My biggest pet peeves are how the individual color swatches are even considered “prizes”. That’s a lot of sugar cookies to “win”
a swatch color you may not even want or like.
Why not offer more/better rewards & maybe gives 3 swatch colors instead of 6 ?
OR give us the option to buy swatch colors we want even after the STS event is over, because now I have chair and a bed in a color I don’t like & will never use and don’t have any way to purge my already overflowing storage.
I still prefer the original way past Events like WinterFest & Halloween were done with progressive timelines & items like the candy bowls, Gift boxes etc. that automatically collected tokens.
I’m happy for those who enjoy these STS events and like their prizes, but I’m just not one of them.
Guess I’m just missing that gambling gene.
Thanks everyone for your coments. We have passed on your feedback to TSM team. 🙂
Please keep sharing your thoughts and experience.
