I am skipping out on this one, still working on the live event rerun, so do not have the spare sims to even try it. Good luck to any brave simmers trying the event.

Do the tokens ever give out soemthing else then Money? I understand the are supposed to help us, slow down the opponent etc. But all i get out of it are simoleons I really don't need.

While the former seasons I got a snail, a mastery discount and a shortcut but most spins gave simoleons.

Thinking of newer players the simoleons wouldn't be that disappointing, if the amounts would actually credit the used amount for the mastery task of the active episode. (The total for season 2 was more than 5 millions.)

Save. Save. Save. Went back into game on 2nd to last item on list today. Sim standing there and Sim Chase list of menu items greyed out. Could not start a new simchase task.

Tried a few things that didn't work, so reset my game and all was OK. Phew.

I had the same issue, sim not doing task and greyed out episodes. Resetting the app hasn’t worked. I can pick new tasks though, so maybe will resolve at end of episode.

My progress bar is all the way to the end. I won the episode, but no token received. Now new episode tasks are available to do, but cant see them in the tracker, not sure what point in keeping going if no prizes are given for winning.

Reset your game if you have a recent cloud save.

I had the problem with greyed out tasks during the last simchase. Resetting the game fixed it. I try to remember to always save the game after starting a new task. Plenty of bugs in this game.

It sounds like some of you are having the same glitch that plagued folks in season 2. Can't believe they would just release the next season without even bothering to fix at least the new one! (oh wait... I can believe it, I just can't stand it anymore... 🙄 smh) I can't even see the new simchase season on my game, because I'm still stuck on season 2 due to that bug.
