First I think the event is nicely designed and a good concept, but

1) There needs to be either more prizes or fewer swatches, in other words make  the likelihood of winning a new object be greater when you open a box. I don't have the time to grind cookies - I now have three colour swatches for the chair and two for the watering can.  

2) If you must have swatches, vary the colours more rather than just having varying shades of grunge. My chair swatches are all variations on brown

3) Better prizes! Is there anyone who seriously wants a hose for their garden? And two lots of gardening tools (3 including the can) which many find too small to see on their phones. The gardening overalls are ugly and too similar to outfits that we get anyway in the career paths (if anybody has a desperate urge to dress their sims up in overalls). If every prize was generally felt to be desirable people would be happier. Maybe you could do a poll somewhere  - you must have data telling you stuff people like

Great Post!   ICAM  ... about the completely Underwhelming Prizes,

the 50 Shades of Greige that are suitable for rustic tastes, with NO pops of color.  Even the “Grand Prizes” were a let down IMO.  Didn’t care for the hairstyles at all & have no room for a WishingWell in my yard.  Plus, I Already have a tiny watering can & enough shrubs, plants, & flowers from a past event

After seeing what prizes were being offered, I honestly felt that I was in no way missing out at all, by not doing the baking challenges. The stress wasn’t worth the time or major resources required. 

 

I only did the activities that required not using up Cupcakes or SimCash and was happy to get the dress, the standing planter, barrel planter, and the apron, albeit in the drab colors.  Nothing else really appealed to me prize wise.  

Fun Clothes, Great New Hairstyles, & even Nice Jewelry  would be great incentives to play imo.

 

I’d so much rather go back to the way past events were done, because IF this is the future path of events, I won’t be participating.  jmho
