[SIMCHASE] Season 36 'Scrappy Scrubdown!’ (9 days)

Post by ErinPW »

These events follow the same pattern since SimChase Season 2. Now there are two versions: one lasts 7 days and the other lasts 9 days.
While the tasks have changed, the numbers of sims, items, times and costs remained the same. Therefore we have prepared this topic for the whole Season already, just without detailed tasks.
Of course it's always possible that the developers build in changes. We will only find out when the episodes appear in our games. Therefore, all information subject to change!

'Scrappy Scrubdown!’ is a 9-day event starting from December 31st.

:!: After opening the game and tapping "Start Chase" the following episodes will start at the same time every day.
To start the event check in with SimChase's hirsute host Kam Ham at the Nightclub.

SimChase FAQ on ea.com

Note:

The times mentioned in the game are based on 3-star-objects.
Numbers of sims, clues or items to be found and costs may vary. (Probably depends on the game-level and if you have purchased the boost.)
If you want you can skip tasks at the menu or shorten tasks at the sim. Both amounts are mentioned in brackets behind the tasks. The costs at the sim will go down a while after starting the task, the lowest amount is 9 SP.

Mastery tasks:
To start these tasks it will either cost lots of simoleons or SP.
If you're hard up for cash it's probably best to do all the other tasks and then use the skip episode button to complete the episode. (See Leah’s post here.

Collecting tasks:
The „Quick Complete to get extra items!“ is true, but it will cost at least 9 SP per sim if you wait long enough. The amount will be quickly over the one for skipping the whole task.

Seriously, couldn’t they hold this one until the Insufferable Island event is over? I have too many Sims doing other time-intensive events to handle this one. I’m at Stage 7 in Downtown Developer 5 and am waiting for Day 6 of Wellspring Library to start, as well as the aforementioned Island thing. I really wish we didn’t have so many events in every update.

I agree.. At first I was happy with pace of this update. The Christmas event allowed time for real life activities and you could use LP, not SP, to hurry things if you had a busy day.

Then the pace got ridiculous with Influence starting on Christmas and Chase starring on New Year's Eve. I haven't done several Developer events yet nor started the whole Sandy area as I haven't had a time period I could devote my entire life to SFP.

Some items got new animations
Ladder: "Attend to wall" and "Deep clean wall"
Duster set: "Dust paintings" and "Brighten up bookshelves" The dust cloud in this animation is a cute idea, but it‘s broken like the smoke machines.

Cleaning supplies: "Clean Kitchen Sink" and "Attack toilet"
Orange vacuum: "Quick clean" and "Become clean machine" My Sim did not try to clean the sand outside :D When she couldn‘t reach the other room on the lot she stopped working.
