[SIMCHASE] 40 "Sour Squeeze" (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!

This is a 9-day event starting from 26 March.
:!: 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. Inspired Sims will complete the tasks faster!
Numbers of sims, clues or items to be found and costs may vary. (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. Except for episode 6 where the SP-amount for starting the task is below the one for skipping the task.

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.

Did anyone else get stuck on the ‘drink water with lime’ task? After starting it for at least the 4th time I just finished it w/ SP.

Guess all players had this issue :( All you can do is asking the Firemonkeys for refund.

Yes. It switches to drink water when they sit down with completion of 1 LP at Sim, which doesn't complete the SimChase task. Have to SP complete in SimChase task list.

There‘s a new info by the Firemonkeys on Facebook. They‘ll hand out 72 SP to all players.
I saw screenshots of a message within games saying the same. But my game didn‘t get it :?

Yesterday I contacted Firemonkeys to ask a refund for the SP I had to use to complete the action. This morning I received a mail the would refund 72 SP.
To my surprise I got the 72 + the 72 everyone got when I opened the game. So 144 SP. :o :D
