It would be awesome if someome could share their experience on this subject. How do you trigger your suprising choice to appear and how often does it appear to you?
One more thing: I read somewhere that you can get a hot tub in the suprising choices so I'm wondering is this true and has anyone got it?
Thanks 😊
based on various other events and purchase options in the past, there is a likelihood that everyone will see a different price for the same items.
@ava7171 & @BlueWizardRob, yup, that seems about right. I got a different offer for the fish tank, it’s half the price. I can only hope I get this choice again once I’ve collected enough simcash.
My event always comes after a completion of a long relationship event, I still think RNG is RNG and it can pop up anytime but the one constant for me is that it’s popped up after a long relationship event. I had one just now about trimming neighbors lemon trees, if I paid 100 simcash I would have received 50% off simoleon or simcash shop items, 1 cupcake a simoleon boost for 3hrs or free for the do not help option. I went cupcake and it wasn’t a dramatic boost however it would be lucrative to a player who is willing to burn through a bunch of short events for 3hrs... I’m not such player.
also re: my prices I’ve mentioned about hedgehog & fish tank, I’ve been remembering the fish tank price inaccurately, hand on my heart I thought it was 500simcash but it’s probably 250 like others have reported. I am cursed with laziness and frequently skim over details when I’m distracted, like buying a hedgehog for example, and that often comes back to bite me in the bum lol 🦔🦔🦔🦔
@Here4Snacks, now that you mentioned it, I noticed that too. And again, it’s not always immediate, sometimes after once or thrice quick shifts, preceded by the long shift, I usually get the surprising choice offer.
It’d be great if the prices are fixed. Cos 150~250 simcash seems doable for those who can’t purchase with real money.
I've only gotten %-off actions choices, which I don't need, because all my Sims are 100% in goals, and I'm at level 40. I've chosen negative consequences, because I'm taking on a miserly play. I'm not gonna spend real cash anymore until the item limit is fixed, so I'll make the very best with what I'm comfortable earning/spending in-game. NOT spending anymore SimCash, cupcakes, or gems unless it's a planned purchase or goal. *digging in (very fashionable) heels*
I finally got one. It offered me an XP bonus or Gold bonus. Since I'm level 40 I don't earn XP anymore. I chose the gold even though I don't need that either.
The prices for the aquarium and hedgehog seem doable, but the price for the hot tub is outrageous, or at least to me it is. 2000 is a bit much, I’ve been wanting a hot tub every since I didn’t win one in the event. I would be willing to pay 400 or 500 for it. I’m hoping the price will be lowered soon.
Same here. I am definitely willing to pay for it since I was so let down that I didn't get one but 2000 seems excessive ☹️ I was expecting it to be in the 1000 range.
