To me it looks like the one at the hospital.

The advertised event shows the same exact item from the hospital, which confirms that Erin is right. ;)

Both will probably be running at the same time. They might not start on the same day but there will be some overlap.

Ever since they added the marketplace feature the marketplace events have be running consecutively with other events.

I think of the marketplace events as "minor events" and not in the same category as events like the Charming Barber.

That's a great way to put it...minor events for marketplace. It's like a sneaky way for FM to increase profit margin from SFP players. :roll:

I just don't understand why they picked out the skeleton as a reward when there were so many nicer items available (the flowers in the ward, the gift shop items in the pharmacy or the furniture from the psychiatrist's office, the treadmill etc). If I hadn't built the hospital to 100% already, I doubt I would waste precious resources to win this skeleton.

Agreed! Although if these events are going to happen all the time now, these nicer items might eventually come up. I don't have everything built so I'll probably not do this one.

Lol, lol. lol! I do agree that the skeleton seems so "random" given better items to choose from...

I quite like the skelly as a reward. Haven't upgraded in hospital far enough to see her/him yet (cos Lazy) but an anatomical skeleton is a good reward. I just got spooked when I thought it was the haunted one they were offering. The hospital reward was always going to be difficult to decide. They could hardly give us an mri scanner for home use!!

I'd have been even happier (as in delerious) if they'd offered us a home medical kit so doctor and nurse sims could look after friends and family. Or maybe an ambulance!
