I fully expect it to be a rerun. It's a little curious they are calling it a live event, though. I'm not sure if the people who put the list together know that it was originally a community event or if the devs have "repackaged" the prizes to turn it into a live event. Once we know for sure I'll either sticky the original topic or create a new one.

Re: Brilliant Backyards Update - Changes
The prizes in this new live event are the ones originally offered as personal prizes only, the original community prizes are not a part of it. So we don't get the rectangular bathroom mats or the wearable towels. I was looking forward to finally completing my spa collection, and I am seriously disappointed.mockingbird288z wrote: ↑04 Nov 2018, 04:09I fully expect it to be a rerun.

In my game all prizes were unlocked and all working stations already useable. I won the spa with a mystery box previously so that could be the reason my progressbar is already filled to the end. This means in my case there are no constructor coins to be won by progressing. At least the daily goals do not require to buy or unlock prizes.

It appears in the Sauna Pack we got two new floors, one mossy one with square tiles and a long dark grey tile.

Mine also had all the prizes unlocked except the last three which are two sets of constructo coins and the sp prize. I haven't unlocked the spa house yet.Thuraya wrote: ↑04 Nov 2018, 11:34The prizes in this new live event are the ones originally offered as personal prizes only, the original community prizes are not a part of it.

Those aren't new. They've always been a part of the Sauna Pack.CatharinaSophia wrote: ↑04 Nov 2018, 13:21It appears in the Sauna Pack we got two new floors, one mossy one with square tiles and a long dark grey tile.

Re: Brilliant Backyards Update - Changes
It's extremely frustrating that they left out a whole set of prizes. The requirements for all the prizes if you don't have anything to begin with are some of the highest for any live event. They could have bundled the prizes without increasing the requirements and it would have felt more balanced.Thuraya wrote: ↑04 Nov 2018, 11:34The prizes in this new live event are the ones originally offered as personal prizes only, the original community prizes are not a part of it.

Check your task manager. It should be showing there. You have to tap on it to get the option to play the event.Kristenv1980 wrote: ↑07 Nov 2018, 06:31Has anyone gotten the Teen Life Event in their game? Per the EA website it was suppose to start yesterday.
