OH COME ON, SFP! Another batch of quests/updates already! I just finished the last one at roughly 2AM this morning!
They really need to spread these out more.

Re: Care Bears Update - Infos, Changes, Bugs
Does anyone know if it goes live at a certain time in each time zone? Or a certain time worldwide so you can calculate your own time zone?
I find it difficult when events start as soon as you open your game. I might not find that a convenient time for my schedule to be actively playing. For example, if I'm going to be tied up all day, I won't open game until next day (or two) if I know one is coming but am not sure when.
But right now I'm doing an event and don't want to avoid game longer than needed.

Re: Care Bears Update - Infos, Changes, Bugs
Make sure auto update is turned off on your device. I think the game gives you at least 1 or 2 days leeway to update your device and still get the full amount of days for the first event.SKatF wrote: ↑05 Oct 2020, 18:03 Does anyone know if it goes live at a certain time in each time zone?

Re: Care Bears Update - Infos, Changes, Bugs
I know what you mean. I don't mind when live events start because they have different lengths of time you can choose, but I have to be careful when I start a SimChase so I don't have to wake up in the middle of the night to finish a task or check in at the stupid night club.SKatF wrote: ↑05 Oct 2020, 18:03 Does anyone know if it goes live at a certain time in each time zone?

My game seems to update at either midnight CST (for new items being available in the store) or 2 a.m. CST (for events to start/become playable).

Re: Care Bears Update - Infos, Changes, Bugs
The update is available now.
Re: Care Bears Update - Infos, Changes, Bugs
Wait, update is required for event to start? Of course it is. I am an idiot! For this first event of update, it's simple ... don't update until ready. It's the later events in the update that I'll have to watch for.
Re: Care Bears Update - Infos, Changes, Bugs
WOW, are the prizes in this event ugly! Not killing myself to get all this stuff, though I might have to since the only things I want from the event are some of the planters and fountains, which don’t come until the end. I really wish they’d lower the amount of items to be crafted. It’s really not fair to those of us who only want prizes at the end.

Those will more than likely show up in architect homes in the near future. Not that architect homes are cheap lol.simmare wrote: ↑06 Oct 2020, 01:50 WOW, are the prizes in this event ugly!

Re: Care Bears Update - Infos, Changes, Bugs
You’re right because I updated and as soon as I opened the game, the update popped up to start.
