Care Bears Update

Sul sul Simmers,

The world has been feeling a little blue lately, so it’s time to inspire kindness and goodwill in the latest update of The Sims FreePlay! The Care Bears have arrived in SimTown for a special experience to provide care and support for your Sims. Loveable characters Share Bear, Grumpy Bear and Trick-Or-Sweet Bear are a major part of two limited time events filled with sharing and caring, where you can earn your very own Care Bears onesies, plush toys and Living Teddy Bears!

‘Share Your Care’ Live Event

Starting 6 October, Share Bear and Grumpy Bear bring their adventurous spirit and kind hearts to the ‘Share Your Care’ Live Event.

The all new grand prize house lot, ‘Care A Lot’ Community Center is an impressive, magical escape that offers a calm and welcoming environment for your Sims to visit and embrace caring for others. The bright and inviting multistory mansion and outdoor garden are designed for respite and relaxation, with rooms to kick back in where your Sims can: read a book, play video games or ping pong, take a nap, and much more! The bright rainbow and pastel-colored wallpaper, floors, windows as well as the adorable decor and outdoor garden accessories are unlike anything ever seen in The Sims FreePlay!

But that’s not all! As you progress through the event, you’ll unlock official Care Bears items for your Sims! They’ll love cuddling the cute Share Bear and Grumpy Bear plush toys, staying snug in stylish onesies and interacting with Living Care Bears that walk around in your Sim’s world!

Influence Island: Season 2

Following the launch of the first Influence Island event last update, it's time to go back to the beach for a new season. Again, your Sim must influence 7 celebrity Sims on the island to join their clan using their perceptive powers of persuasion!

A rival on the island is also trying to influence non-aligned Sims, so we recommend checking back daily to ensure you remain on track by the end of the event. Through multiple rounds of strategic persuasion, each ‘influencing action’ will randomly generate a number result, that will slide up your progress bar, increasing your influence on the target. Reach the green zone (or highest point without ticking off your target) for a successful outcome and earn Network Tokens to redeem for fun prizes along the way.

Season 2 introduces brand new Scandinavian-styled décor that is inspired by clean, simple lines, minimalism, and functionality! Your Sims will love the neutral accents that are sure to add a touch of elegance to their abode.

Grand Prize:

• Extra wide king size bed
• Bedside tables with shelf and draws
• Modern floating fireplace
• Pendant lighting with hanging plants
• Two-seat sofas
• Three-seat chaise lounge
• Adult male and female casual outfits

Other Prizes:

• Kitchen benchtops with sinks
• Kitchen wall cabinets
• Modern stovetop oven
• Mini bar fridges inside benchtops
• Rectangle single windows in black and silver
• Kitchen benchtops and corner pieces
• Large trio of abstract paintings
• Buffet storage bench

Downtown Developer 3 - Oak Avenue

Downtown Developer is a brand new location on which to build luxury apartments on the CBD map location in The Sims FreePlay! By collecting resources over 30 days, your Sims earn prizes to ultimately unlock the new Oak Avenue building, a glamorous new apartment lot and fully furnished 3-story luxury penthouse suite – there are now three unique apartment styles to choose from!

The Oak Avenue building is inspired by contemporary Art Deco style buildings from Midtown Manhattan! The luxe penthouse is styled with triple-floor windows, multistory pendant lighting, rooftop pool and brand new extra tall library bookshelves spanning from floor to ceiling.

Reach level 13 and complete the 'SimTown Express' Discovery Quest in the bottom left corner of the SimTown map. This will unlock the Downtown district where you’ll see three ‘Downtown Developer’ sites – choose your favorite aesthetic! From there, progress your way through three stages of construction. If you don’t complete the event within the 30-day time limit, don’t worry! You’ll still earn the new apartment lot space to build on, but without the luxury penthouse.
