As usual I'll post the quests/events a day or two in advance on my blog.

Any info about what the skating event is for?

[Perturbee]

Not yet, I haven't had the time to travel myself. I've been looking into fixing the Android 25 friends bug for most of today and had mixed success with it.

I need several hours to do a run that far ahead and don't know when I'll be able do it. As soon as I have more details, I'll post them here.

Ok thanks

According to Facebook discussion, it's for new household items. It looks like they changed the figure skating time also. Here is what the quest instruction will say: "Complete the figure skating collection at the Snow Park to earn a ping pong table, basketball hoop, and putting green for your Sims' homes!" At least, these would all be new for me -- I understand the basketball hoop and putting green are old/discontinued.

I bet they won't change the times back after the update either. It's a pity as this is one of my favorite preteen hobbies.

Yes skating was one of my favourite hobbies,after cooking. I've had to spend a lot of LP's to buy diving boards although I have to say that I'm quite enjoying the change. Also pleased about the SP plant. Every time I make 5 LP's cooking I give the SP plant a whirl. Could become addicted to gambling!

Hopefully the basketball hoop can then be used by all ages.
