[EVENT] Designer Rugs

[mockingbird288z]

Just an FYI, there are people where it is already the 15th where they live getting this event. It seems maybe FM changed the date of the event (or some people have a glitch).

Edit: The Designer Rugs event...

I wish they would at least let us pick which rug to unlock after completing a set. I don't think I'll be able to finish it since I don't have the beach built and sometimes I can't connect to the party boat. But I've noticed that leveling up seems faster compared to before. I stopped doing the fishing hobby and only did it again last week. My sim is now on level 3 and 45% was added to my progress after one try.

Edit: The fishing event for rugs...

I can confirm that the fishing hobby for the new rugs has started. Better get your fishermen ready in all your fishing spots so you can take advantage of at least 3 medals to begin with (4 if you set one up at a neighbour's town) though in reality it only saves you about 10 minutes . At least they've left the 10 minute option there and not changed it like they did with the figure skating hobby. Once again the frantic rush will be on for those of us who really hate missing out on getting ALL the new stuff!!!

On the plus side my fishersims are levelling up quite quickly just using the 10 minute option.

This doesn't seem to have started for me yet. Possibly because I'm in the Uk??

Thanks for confirming!

It should start at midnight on the 15th. It should be starting soon for you, I think. In an hour (if I did the time zone thing right). Lol

Yes you are correct Mockingbird Alas I don't think my weary eyes will stay open that long so I expect it will be waiting for me in the morning. Oh the joy of filling more grids

Can someone help out my aging memory please? The hobby grids used to reset when an event started but I think this hasn't been the case with the last few?? My fishing grid only has one fish left to catch so I think it is an advantage to stop now to get a head start.....ultimately, I will make sure I save right before the event starts just in case it clears all my fishersims hard work--I'm just not sure I trust my memory lol

Mine have always reset but I have seen some people say that their grid didn't reset, particularly on the skating event earlier this year. But I think it not resetting would be a glitch and not what is supposed to happen. It wouldn't hurt, though, to have an almost completed grid just in case.

My fishing grid was reset for this event...

I'm in the UK and mine started at midnight (just gone). EDIT: Just saw your last post, nevermind.
You get 7 days to complete the Fishing grid 7 times for new rugs (one each time, so you have to complete the collection once each day).
Looks like it's going to be a busy week of non-stop Fishing.... If you really want the rugs that is. I'll try but I don't think I'll lose any sleep if I don't get them all. Aside from being incredibly tedious in itself, I can't afford to spend an entire week on 10min Fishing actions.

My first set of rugs. It took a couple of hours with 3 fishersims filling the grid so not super easy but doable to get some of the rugs at least. Looks like each variety comes in 5 sizes. Great for decorating options. Not the best piccie I'm using my phone in the car (as a passenger of course ) so it's a bit tricky. Upside I have about 4 hours to 'fish'
My fishersims have reached level 6 of 8 in that time so the first set will take longer for those who haven't unlocked the grid previously by reaching level 8.
