I'm so disappointed, I've been loving the free Christmas items and have a whole Christmas house I'm designing that I use them for :cry:
That was only going to be for the first 5-6 days. So that part of the update is over. Now that the Snow Problem quest has started the next thing will be the anniversary gift. This year they will be giving us a free mystery box.

It will probably appear as a gift box next to the mailbox and we will only be able to open it between December 14-18 AEDT. If someone waits until the 19th the gift will be gone.
Oh thanks! I thought it would continue until Christmas. Well, it's sad that it doesn't but it was great while it lasted. Thank you for clearing it up!
Has anyone received their free mystery box? I've been keeping an eye out for it but maybe I missed it??
I got mine on the 14th. I didn't get a pop up notice about it or anything, I just noticed the package at the front of one of my house lots near the garbage can. I would check all of your houses. I'm not sure if the present will be available through the 18th (i.e., until 11:59 on the 18th) or it was available up to the 18th (i.e., until 11:59 on the 17th).
Bugger - I've probably missed it!

Has anyone else had sims struck by lightning while standing outside? Twice now I have had a message pop up telling me that my sim was struck by lightning and is "feeling charged". Has this always been a thing when standing in a storm? A newly introduced way of inspiring sims (mine were already inspired with cake slices, so I can't tell whether that's what is meant by "feeling charged")? Or is it just a gimmick with the current Snow Problem quest?

I keep getting that, but all the sims hit were already inspired :roll:

I haven't had this happen this update, but it does occur sometimes. I believe it began the update we got the weather machines.

Has the Blood Bank refrigerator been removed? I was going to add one to a "survivalist bunker" in the basement of one of my houses, now I don't see it listed anymore.

Hmmm that’s strange, I still see it in my home store, though I do feel like it was acquired from the anniversary gift but I could be wrong about that.

The anniversary gift was a free fortune box so you could have gotten one of the Blood Bank Fridges for free from that. But it wouldn't be an unlock.

Yep, I still have it too. Between the Dr. Freeze Fridge and the Drink Fridge. It's the third fridge from the end of the fridges (if that makes sense) before you get to the ovens.
