Re: Summer Backyard Barbecue Event

Thank you so much, Wiz, for the preemptive advice. You know I would've totally opened them at every chance—and I did until I saw your post.

I got a patio bench and summer dining chair. I'll never use the bench—no grayscale or even a muted blue or green. But the chair is cute.

I've got a question: Found these magnifying glass career order items. Why are they accumulating??? Any idea what their purpose might be?

    Um, I don't know... It looks like the gnomes and the bbq items are sort of separate, though they're part of the same quest.

    On a lighter note, if you get the garden tower, do make sure you try the action that comes with it (warm hands), with the sound on. 😉

    I don’t know what it is about these Quests, but I always have such a hard time understanding the directions🤔  🧐
    So if I’m understanding this correctly, you have the option to use Sim Cash OR your Lemon Slices to get stuff.  
    I think it’s like getting the Ornate Boxes vs. the Luxury Ornate Boxes in the World of Luxury event.  Am I close?

     

    I’m on part 5, but have to wait 16 hrs for the next event to start? 

    Unless I use Sim Cash to rush the event?  

     

    Nope, not going to happen-SC is too hard to come by ... 

    then again, if the Gnomes clean up my Storage, I might reconsider 😂🤪

    The magnifying glasses are for one of the quests.

    Yes, you are right.  However, the cash baskets have a higher chance at rare rewards than the lemon ice chests do.

    You're not the only one! 😆

    I started playing right around the time they had the hot tub event, and I remember earning lots of goodie bags, but I wasn't very clued in about what to do with them, so I didn't open them on time. Who knows, there might have been a tub in there for me... 😭

    Ive spent a lot of sim cash and lemons on this event and NO BBQ. I give up on any future as I missed out on the spa pool before that. Ridiculous amount of items I can’t use or place.

    @SIMuLATER29  I opened 6 cash boxes and did worse than the regular boxes. The higher chance can't possibly be much higher. My bad for continuing on doing it but I was like "this has to get better right?"

    @Kevnik1 There is no higher chance with cash boxes. It's a con to persuade us into buying them. I hope u don't fall for that one again

    The thing that got me was, when it was offered in the pack buy of 5 baskets, it said baskets had a higher chance of rare items... but yeah worse luck for me than the coolers.

    @PlanetAuto totally stealing hot yoga idea 😈
