I got the rocket ship ride and tan circle rugs. Thanks to being in the game on and off throughout the day for the prom event I finished this pretty quickly. I just need 3 more rugs now.

I got the Robocat, which I'm not interested in, but I will complete the event and see if I get offered it again. It seems that prizes do repeat ... fondue set 3 times? Or could the repeat offerings be due to not completing the event?

I have completed every single marketplace event. I have two fondue sets in my inventory from the previous marketplace events and will be adding a third at the end of this one. I have all six slots unlocked and workplaces (excluding hospital) are over 90% so the marketplace events are quick and easy for me, so I just do them all.

Leah, how do you know you only need 3 more rugs? Is there a master list somewhere? I'd love to know how many I have left, especially in repeat prize marketplace events.

I'm about 4,000 away from finishing this event for the black piano. :)

Mine's still every 24 hours. :?
I must be going cross eyed, but I swear it said 4 hours last night.

Well that is useful to know ... thank you.

unlucky Simtown market events

Post by MoltresRider »

My wife, sister, brother, and my daughter all have been getting some pretty sweet Simtown market events like skateboard event, rocket ship event, and fortune teller event, whereas I am getting stuff like dragon statue event. Stuff already available in the game. I already had dragon statue event three times in a row, before that was skeleton even which I will never use since I don't do haunted houses. I also had robo-dog event, never will use that either as I do not buy dogs, only cats, dragons, fairy, and deer. But I won't even buy a robo-cat.

I rarely get an unlock from these events, only a "You can buy one for free" of already available home store items type of event when my family gets all the good stuff that adds new content to their game. I am level 53, and the only one above me is my wife at 55. The rest are 30s and 40s, so it is definitely not level related. VIP 2 and my wife is VIP 11, sister VIP 10, and daughter 0. That does not seem to be a factor either.

Is anybody else have had this bad luck experience with Simtown market events?

A master list of the rugs can be found here or here. :)

Have you updated to the latest update, Dance Party? Marketplace event prizes changed with that update, with 4 new ones - rocket ship ride, fortune-teller booth, skate ramp, and black piano. I used to be unenthused with MP prizes until this update, because I never got anything new, likely because I have pretty much everything released thus far.

I have the skate ramp (still waiting for the black piano...) and zig-zag (orange) rugs for 63,000. This time I want the final prize but not the rugs - for the first time ever. Those orange rugs are really ugly
