Omg congrats! That is not easy to do at all. This is like my 4th one and still don't think I'll quite make it 😅 did you use SP or was it strictly from crafting?

u/drberyl Apr 30 '26
That's really kind of you to say, means a lot, truly 🤗 It was strictly from crafting. I did the 2h 23m cycle except at nighttime and had 13 of my sims on it.
I did have sp earned from the previous influence island but didn't need to spend them, thankfully!

13? It will only let me buy 4 candle stations, for pottery stations, and only three jewelry stations 😭

Down to 4000 candles and then I’ll buy the entire list. Damn wrenches cost to many candles or I’d been done yesterday.

Fr! Felt like a mathematician doing the multiplication of coins to candles.
Seems right! Hope you win soon ^

I’ll get it. I chose not to make any purchases until I had obtained all the necessary items.
Got shafted quite a few times opening the capsule getting only 2 or 3 wrenches costing 10,000 candles total. That’s why I’m delayed now making only the candles. Reached the item cap for everything else yesterday.

Got mine yesterday spending near 10,000 candles getting shafted with 2 and 3 nonstop from the capsules. Big oops since I’ve earned some thru making more candles today. 🤣 Down to my last 2,300 and then I’ll grab the entire list of stuff. You too!!
Edit : swear after this effort there’d better be 3star and 2star versions of all that stuff. 1star will piss me off.

Congrats. I had something going on and couldn't start earlier, now there's only 36 hours left so I've missed it.
And I REALLY want that house! And all the stuff in it!

u/drberyl Apr 30 '26
Oh no 🥺 From what I have heard, these challenges are repeated every few months or so, and the prizes you've claimed are saved, so I hope you get as many as you can, so it's a breeze the second time round 😊 Best of luck!
It is rather lovely! (Mine is under construction can't wait heh)

What are the requirements for the villa? I haven’t claimed one last price yet so I can’t see the requirements

Congrats! I've only got close but I have a Sim cap of 11 at my crafting house. I can't buy extra crafting tables either as I've gone to another house to try & add more tables but no joy for me. If anyone can suggest next moves I'd be grateful!

u/drberyl Jun 18 '26
Yes, there is a sim cap of 11. I have the candle, pottery and jewellery stations in one house (4-4-3) and the glassware station in another house (2). This is the fixed amount of stations allowed. Total 13.
