And that’s it my friends! What are your thoughts on the new mini-event? Thoughts on the prizes? Which is your favorite? Locations in your Springfield? Sound off below, you know we love hearing from you!
While these buildings are all in scale with one another, and it’s nice that they don’t take up much room, they are way out of scale with most of the other buildings, making them a bit tricky to place.
Beer Bottle Fountain
Normally I would say ‘meh’ but this isn’t huge (especially compared to the fountain in the prior Event – lol!) and it looks swell next to the Duff Pavilion and Duff Gardens Topiaries (I have an enthusiastic 👍🏻 for every single Prize during this Mini Event!) 😊

Again, I can’t say thank you enough to EA for these fun Tavern / Restaurant Buildings (yay Character Tasks!) 🤘🏻

The Bendy Elbow
5 O’Clock Somewhere
Ramen Coma
Hey 3 nice Buildings
(4 if you spent the sprinkles to get McStagger’s!)
All with permanent Character Tasks (each has a different length of time!)
Every Building is a reasonable size (doesn’t take up a ton of Real Estate)
Every Building has some sort of animation when in use
Every Building generates $ and XP
These are all solid Event Prizes (you can create another Restaurant District like I did!) 😊👍🏻
