[Updated] The Sims Mobile STS (Sweet Treat Showdown) stuck or prize tracking broken issue acknowledged, fix in works

New updates are being added at the bottom of this story…….

Original story (published on February 05, 2022) follows:

The Sims Mobile is the smartphones and tablets version of the successful saga of ‘life simulation’ games. It came out in 2018 and since then it has been constantly receiving new content.

The updates with new content for The Sims Mobile bring (among other things) quests or missions. For instance, there is the Sweet Treat Showdown challenge.

The Sims Mobile ‘Sweet Treat Showdown’ (also known simply as STS) is a challenge that requires collecting a certain amount of prizes to get a Grand Prize box with new special swatches (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9).

However, some The Sims Mobile players are facing issues in STS challenge as the prize tracking system is broken. This causes the obtained-prizes counter to get stuck (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14).

The issue results in some The Sims Mobile players being unable to complete the Sweet Treat Showdown (STS) challenge. Apparently, the prizes collected stop counting after a certain point for the tracking system.

Bonus STS is the way to dig up your simoleons and simcash. It seem endless!! And you will never ever get the grand prize!! It is totally scam!

Even if you had enough sweet treat token or royal treat token, you will never ever get the grand prize! Thumb or vote up if you agree my statement. It is pissed me up + stress!!

I took one for the team by rushing through the STS, since no one had posted an update yet. For anyone else wondering how to strategize: I can confirm that currency prizes are still bugged, not counting toward the total for the grand prize in the bonus STS. Do with that information what you will.

This means that the progress bar never reaches the end, so affected players cannot receive the Grand Prize box. The game requires collecting 122 prizes, but the counter could get stuck when it reaches 104.

Hope they already fixed the grand prize bugs on STS. The last 2 STS stuck in 104 of 122 prizes.

Although the reports about the glitch come from December 2021, an official acknowledgment by the EA team just came in the last few days (1, 2). The company also confirms that they are already working on a fix.

Hey there,
We are aware of this glitch and have created a Bug report for it.

I understand how disappointing it can be to not get all the Grand Prize swatches but please enjoy the SimCash and Simoleons while we fix the issue for the next Bonus Sweet Treat Showdown.

EA is rewarding affected players with SimCash and Simoleons (in-game currency) as the long-awaited fix finally arrives. However, there is no ETA for it yet.
