THIS EVENT IS NOW OVER
The figure skating event is now on for a limited time, it started on the 5th June and will only be available for 9 days
You have to complete the collection just once in the time limit to unlock the ping pong table, basketball hoop and putting green
NOTE: You will not see this quest if you have no completed the an alien concept: weather machine quest yet
The only option for figure skating is 12 hours
Some tips for completing in time:
- You don’t have to complete at the snow park but you need to build the snow park to unlock this event
- You can use a swimming pool and a weather machine at a house set to snow, this then makes it possible to skate on the pool. This way you can also use as many sims as you can fit on the pool
- If you do have the snow park then 4 sims can skate on the dark circles on the hockey rink
- You can also send another sim to a neighbours town if you have no more space to figure skate in your town
- To complete the whole collection you need one sim to get to level 6 in the figure skating hobby, I have noticed they do level up fairly quickly but if you want them to level up even faster you may need to use some LPs as speeding up the action will still level them up, this post explains a good way to make LPs fast.

ICE HOCKEY RINK – ADULT, TEEN AND PRETEEN SIMS – PRIZES: SKI LIFT KEY, FIGURE SKATING OUTFITS AND 3LP
Once you have completed the An Alien Concept: Weather Machines Quest and built the Snow Park your adult, teen and preteen sims can figure skate on the 4 dark patches on the ice hockey rink.
TIP: if you have a swimming pool at one of your houses and place the weather machine you unlock in the quest and set it to snow your sims can ice skate on the frozen pool so you can have as many sims as you want figure skating!
The skating option is:
- Figure Skating- 12 hours
After the time has passed come back and click the exclamation mark above your sims head to find one of the figure skating medals collectibles. Every time your sim figure skates their hobby skill level up percentage will increase, once you reach 100% you will level up, there are 6 levels. You need to reach level 6 to be able to unlock all of the figure skating collectibles, once unlocked you will be able to find them.
The table below shows the level up percentage:
This may change in future updates
| LEVEL | Figure Skate |
|---|---|
| 1-2 | 150% |
| 2-3 | 133% |
| 3-4 | 100% |
| 4-5 | 50% |
| 5-6 | 25% |
For example you would need to figure skate 2 times to reach level 5 from level 4
NOTE: it says 150% but you will start from 0% at level 2
The next table shows you for each level what figure skating collectibles you unlock (so you can then find those ones too) and also the level up reward that a second and future sims will receive when they level up in this hobby:

NOTE: only the first sim completing this hobby needs to get to level 6 to unlock all the collectibles, future sims will be able to find any collectible even if they are only on level 1 in this hobby
You won’t find a new collectible each time, you will get repeats, if this happens just keep going, you will find them eventually! If it is still taking too long you can use thelucky spinon the row where you cannot find the item, this will cost LPs, when you click on the LP button it will clear the row and give you a random collectible on that row so you aren’t guaranteed a new item (you will get back any other collectibles you already had in that row)Need to earn some LPs to use the lucky spin?
The completed figure skating collection is shown below, once you complete the collection you need to click ‘figure skate again’ or ‘start a new collection’ at the top of the hobby collection screen, this clears the board so you can complete the collection again to earn more rewards (you will only get the option torestart the hobby collectionwhen you have completed the collection):
You will earn XPs when you complete a row in the hobby buttocomplete the collection you need to find all 12 of the collectibles
The rewards for completing this collection are the ski lift key, figure skating outfits and 3LP:
