I already too dependent on these walkthrough to the point whenever an event is approaching, the first thing I do is saving Phantom's walkthrough hahaha... 😂

Thanks again for the great job, Phantom!

Yes, it's true Phantom does a great job on these and spends a lot of time making the posts and helping everyone but what I don't understand is why EA doesn't just tell us up front? Instead, they tell Phantom and she tells us. Are they just trying to drive traffic to the forums? It's not much of a secret if the info is clearly available on the official forums. o_o I hope they pay her for her time, too.

This event has been relatively frustrating for being so easy on paper.

First, I got stuck on chapter one when I had to tap on a laptop. The tooltip specifically said to use A LAPTOP so I spent a huge amount of time looking for a laptop, either on a table or my inventory or in the shops or the various tabs when the REAL ANSWER was to use a table, like a dining table.

THANKS, EA. Your careful testing ensured I wasted plenty of time.

However, I'm now completely stuck because C3.3 requires you to read a giant book, supposedly by tapping on a love seat or sofa. I've tapped all the love seats and sofas in my house and around town. I tapped on the bookcases, just to be sure.

Now, I'm tapped out.

After EA refused to give players compensation when THEIR servers went down ruining most players' chances of finishing the event...unless you contacted customer support...and not just any CS agent...you had to find one who understood English and then one who would actually help you...as opposed to EA saying, "Hey, ALL players were affected by OUR technical difficulty, so ALL players should be compensated." I can't tell you how many CS agents I contacted and how many useless replies and runarounds I got, but the end result is hours of wasted time, much irritation, my image of The Sims as a series is tarnished, and I think less of EA, so if that's what EA was going for, mission accomplished.

Since no one else is saying they're stuck on the giant book step, I guess that means it's just me stuck here, or everyone else just quietly gave up and switched to some other app to fill their time. What was it? For every one complaint, there are a hundred more you never hear because people simply stop dealing with an unresponsive company?
