I love the decor of the bake off in Parkside. When SalixCat promoted the event the sweet treat box was originally at 52 boxes, when we saw the actual event it was 58 boxes, which means we need 23200 sugar cubes for all the boxes. That actually seems doable me. When she promoted the Royal box it was originally at 30 boxes, then at the actual event was 24 which means we need 240 royal tokens which is extremely doable. I'm actually happy this time. I think I'll be able to finish this one. Glass half full. Coffins for everyone, you get a coffin and you get a coffin and we're all happy!!!!

I love the decor, and I love the prizes, but right now it's feeling out of reach and that feeling makes for the event feeling like work/stressful instead of fun. My last 4 showdowns, I've lost all 4, once on the very first round and the latest after making it to 7/7. This is with spending thousands of simoleons each time to try to stretch my cookies out and only attempting at 85% or more. The first day, I lost my first 2 attempts. Makes me wonder if I'm just very unlucky or if the difficulty has gotten even worse this time. 😢 The Llamazoom still isn't tied into this which would be helpful. The 3 other events still have low payout for the time invested (use cupcakes for +90 if you have them).

@Immichan I agree with you. In the seven rounds on the Bake-Off I always seem to lose on the first round. In the previous showdowns we never seem to lose on the very first round of baking. So far I have lost four different times on the first round. I agree with you Lama zooms need to be implemented.

Just come from losing two challenges, one after the other both at 90% on the first rounds. Got none left now, have to wait till it rechargesIt's really not worth bothering about anymore

I've got my tokens also collected 2 days before the end of the showdown, so I'll be getting my grand prize and napping in it until Christmas. :DCompared to the Catwalk Fabulous Showdown, this Treatsylvania Haunt Showdown was more demanding for me. And given the fact that none of these Showdowns are piece of cake. 😛 For the first 2 Showdowns (Country Living and Charming Gardens) I did not get the grand prizes, since at that point I'd only played SimsMobile for few months and didn't have resources. Treatsylvania Haunt statistics from my game:- 7 round challenges: 18- 9 round challenges: 15- 10 round challenges: 8- 200 000 Simoleons spent, 10 SimCash & 23 cupcakes. - 3 challenges with all rounds cleared, and one of them was the 5 round "tutorial" in the start- 11 burned desserts- My daily average of Royal Tokens received from challenges were around 12,5- After getting burned 5 challenges in a row in the beginning of the challenge, I tried to play extremely carefully and that meant spending simoleons. I also bought Royal tokens if they were available to buy with Simoleons.Comparison to my Catwalk fabulous Showdown:- 7 round challenges: 11- 9 round challenges: 10- 10 round challenges: 9- 95 500 Simoleons spent, 85 SimCash & 24 cupcakes- 7 challenges with all rounds cleared- 9 burned desserts- Daily average of Royal Tokens received from challenges around 18Sweet Treat Showdowns in general:- I love the setting in Parkside and the decorations, it looks really good. The coffin was nice touch for Halloween- I have insta account for my Sims and I really like all the different cakes and desserts and I was eager to get to bake them all and post pics to "Simstagram" but there hasn't been any new pastries or baking actions- calculating the odds&sugarcubes and the constant uncertainty of winning ANY tokens sucks the fun out of baking. Getting tokens from challenges is too uncertain and require resources. I don't like to worry my challenge tactics 2 weeks straight- Tokens from the FlavorLab and Pastry Class are minimal.. better chance of getting the Sweet tokens from quick events but that requires quite a lot of time spent in the game- All the color options being in their separate boxes.. frustrating to open +50 boxes with just the colors. This time I got "lucky" and got one of each item in the first 30 boxes. All the negative things started to outweigh all the good things I liked .. It's too stressful and I find myself being unhappy with the game experience. ☹️ Motivation of doing next Showdown is zero.. and I don't want my game instagram feed to be constant rant about burning cakes. 😛I'm going to do few challenges before I collect my grand prize, just to get some simoleons back or jewels.. Hoping everyone good or at least better times with the game! 🙂On a side note: I really liked the Halloween Haunt event which was before this showdown since it gave me time to actually breathe, gather resources, start new career and clear one piece of land. And still I got some really great prizes, fun pics and moments with all the Halloween decorations and outfits.

@kg122cin3h6t Well I'm happy for you. What the problem this time seems to be on the first round where it's at 90% and you fail. There's been times where I am at 95% and still fail. Maybe it doesn't happen in your game but it happens to a lot of people. We're all trying to get that grand prize.

@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.
