The Sims Freeplay Dance Party update is here and with it is a new live event - the Party Time Event. (Pack sure you've downloaded the latest game version to gain access to this event) This event is here for 8 days and the aim is the collect enough arts and craft items from the arts and crafts stations (which can be bought in the event tab of the home store) to unlock all the items.
If you have completed a similar event using the arts and crafts stations then your stations will either be where you left them or in your inventory. You will only be able to use the candle stations to begin with until you unlock the other stations.
You will get a pop up when you first update your game - click 'Start Collecting' to start the event.
When you start the event there will be a short tutorial to guide you through what to do. Follow along with what each pop up task says and if you get stuck re-read the task as it tells you exactly what to do.
There are 4 different arts and crafts you can collect and 4 different stations - candle, pottery, jewellery and glassware. When you start the quest you will need to place the candle stations. You can only buy 4 so place them down and get to work starting to collect them as soon as you can.
Going through the tutorial you will collect enough candles to unlock the first prize on the prize progress bar. The first prize is the archway entrance and you will need 50 candles to unlock it. At the top left of your screen is small dance icon that you click on to access the progress bar and the daily goals information.
All of the arts and crafts stations need to be restocked - during the tutorial you can restock for 2 uses but after the tutorial and through the event it will take 2 hours 30 minutes to restock for 9 uses or you can spend 10SP and restock for 18 uses which completes instantly.
Here is the progress bar showing all the prizes you can win during this event. It runs from left to right, top to bottom. You will win the ability to unlock different prizes as well as winning constructor coins (needed to unlock the prizes) and unlocking the different arts and crafts stations. As soon as you unlock the different craft stations I recommend you place them down and get working on collecting as soon as possible.
You can see at the bottom right the grand prize for completing the event is a party house which contains some exclusive items.
You need to use a coin flower patch (which can be bought from the events tab of the home store) to win constructor coins.
There are also daily goals that you can complete to win constructor coins and candles. Remember to try and claim all of these each day to boost your constructor coins.
When the Sims are using the arts and crafts stations they will collect bonus items. The item will appear in a bubble above their head. Make sure you go into your game as often as possible to collect these bonus items.

Restocking
Each station comes with stock to use the station 9 times before you need to restock it. If you've taken your stations out of your inventory from a previous event they will need restocking before you can use them. When you click on the station to restock you will have two options:
Restock 18 uses which costs 10SP and happens instantly
Restock 9 uses which is free and takes 2 hours 30 mins
If you put a station into your inventory to move if to another lot for example you will lose all the stock and need to restock and if you cancel the action you will lose that one stock.

You will also find a white stretch SUV at the party house.

Laura Craft
At the front of your house there will be an A-frame with a bubble over it of a person holding arts and crafts. This is Laura Craft. In previous events she has been available to purchase for real money, however in this event we have the ability to free her for free for 24 hours. When you use her she will help you collect the various arts and crafts items.
Once the 8 day time limit is up you have 3 days to purchase any packs you have enough items to buy. You will not be able to collect any more arts and crafts items or coins as you just have to use the resources yu have collected within the 8 day time limit. If you don;t have enough resources for any of the packs you can either use social points to unlock them or wait and see if the event returns. They usually do!
