Sweet Treat Showdown Is Exhausting

Before starting this event, I had over 100,000 simoleons stocked up from completing events and llamazooms. Guess how much I have now? About 11k. And the prices for sugar cube refills? Ridiculous amounts of simcash/cupcakes. But the price of completing Rounds for the challenge aren't my main gripe.

It's the fact that you can have above a 90% success rate and STILL have a Dessert Disaster. I thought this function would be similar to the risky interaction feature, where, as long as you're in the green area, you're fine. But the chances on this event are just random.

Here's a Dessert Disaster at 90% in Round 2 :|

I also got a Dessert Disaster at 97% in Round 7 before another time. But then another time, I WON the second to last round on the 75% success rate, even though I consistently would lose previously if I dared to attempt below a 90% success rate.

There's still 1d 13hr remaining for me and I only have earned 45/76 prizes. The only redeeming factor about this event is that we don't receive duplicates that turn into useless fashion gems and (a pinch of) simoleons - we get different color swatches each time (they listened to us).

I hope we won't be seeing other events similar to this set-up because if so, count me out.

  • I swear, this whole sweet treat challenge has been just too much! I really wanted to get the grand prize for which I worked really hard! It fails even at 95% which really just puts me off so much! I swear it's really frustrating and annoying. I means it's ok to keep the grand prize at the end but this whole random winning and losing irrespective of percentage of success rate is really unfair!
  • The sweet treat challenge leaves quite a bad taste in my mouth. Tired of how hard to not fail and the amount of energy that comes off each time you do one of the tasks.
  • I rarely use any of my resources (simolians/cupcakes/ect) and am able to get all the prizes minus the grand prizes by being sure to arrive at every available competition. Remember you can end the competition early. I rarely finish the competitions, but the tokens do add up and will result in acquiring all the prizes available (minus the grand prizes). ?????

  • I don't get why do they give options for sweet treat events with such low tokens and royal tokens to earn from! From a shift of 7 hrs 37 mins all we get is 60 tokens and 1 royal token and some 500 simoleons! Like seriously! ? y on earth would I put my sims to work on that!??

    > I’m new to the Sims mobile & it’s been a learning curve. I’ve only played in a few Sweet Treat events, but this latest one is super lame. The “prizes” aren’t even worth playing for & and the grand prizes just aren’t worth the effort. I bought the Pro ticket, but it’s a waste of money.
    > I gotta say, this seems like an event created by accountants... expensive & boring. I won’t be playing it again.

  • I accidentally posted someone's post I only was going to respond to. I'm sorry. ? I'm a dufus.
  • I am so done purchasing the sweet treat ticket. You're truly paying too much (especially in Canadian funds!) and all you're really getting is 6 extra sugar cubes. The golden mixer is always charging you sugar now.. (almost always anyway).. The choice of 18% costs 4 cubes, with the ticket you will sometimes be charged 2 cubes for the 18 pts!? Wow great advantage. I'm really, truly annoyed at the greed of EA. Sorry but that's how I feel now. It used to be almost worth it to buy a ticket. Now it truly is NOT.
  • I was at round 5 and I used 6 sugars for 32%. I had total 92% chances and still got a dessert disaster. No idea what am I supposed to do. I use my sugars very carefully. And yet this is what happens to me everytime I go for sweet treat showdown challenge. I've just passed 1 or barely 2 challenges in these years. You guys need to improve this issues. We bring it above 90% and still it gives us desert disaster. I humbly request you to look into this problem and solve it for us.
    Thank you
  • I have NEVER won the final round of a Sweet Treat Challenge. Never.
    It’s a definite cash grab. And I don’t pay money to play games on my phone.

    Guess that’s why I never win and I always run out of time to do challenges, even if I play the game all darn day!
  • Everytime I play STS it gives me a desert disaster even if I have 94-96%. It is very disappointing. I don't feel like participating. The prizes are not even worth playing. Just wanted to get the grand prize. But it's very exhausting and disappointing.
