Influence Island - Season 9 - „Palm Springs Bedroom & Bathroom’’ (10 days)

Post by ErinPW »

This Event is supposed to start on 18th May (PST)

The FAQ at this forum can be found here.
A video (from Season 1) by the Firemonkeys can be found here.

3 challenges/attempts per day are free. You get one every 8 hours, but they will not add up over 3 if you don’t play. Additional attempts will cost 15 SP/each.

This table with the costs of chocolate, bribe and progress during the event is intended to help with decision and then to keep the amount as low as possible.

The table is from Season 1, but the numbers haven‘t changed in the past few events, so I don‘t expect changes for the current one. (Subject to change.)

While I do like some of the prizes (the clothing racks and bathroom items), I’m skipping this one. Just don’t have the time or SPs to do it, and with no way to earn SPs other than the daily flower spin (which usually gets me only 3, so hardly even worth it), I just don’t have the resources to do it.

I'm doing an Influence Island event for the first time because I really adore the rewards. Is it even possible to complete it without using SPs?
And what's the best strategy is you're aiming to just get as many rewards as possible and not going for the grand prize? I'm starting to think if it's best to stop at 120-200 and just cash in instead of risk losing it all (or use SPs) by trying to go for step 5 and 6.

Personally I find it impossible to complete without using SPs. Also, you’re not going to be able to buy many of the prizes if you stop with so few coins. Common prizes cost 500 coins per spin and rare ones 720 coins per spin. Most of the items I like most are in the grand prize anyway, so I know I’m not going to get them, so I’m not even playing. Just doing the live event and Downtown Developer. Still, good luck!

I just play the free plays all the way through. If I win, I win, If I get beat, I just move on and come back later. Then I spin for whatever prizes I can afford.

Things our sims can do with the new bathroom shelves:

Desinfect and scrub toilet. Thinking of real life … ugh :|
The actions are the same … and then they‘ll want to have a bath :lol:

Appreciate the scent, pamper yourself and enjoy the essential oils.
The first option is pretty much like admire, the other ones are cute.

The wall hanging shelf can be admired.
