Not playing atm, so does not really effect me at all. However I am on fence about it. YC items only to enter like people said last month's was, hell no. This one at least you can still enter for coin items and with the 2 extra challenges it does give peeps a chance to make up enough silver bar to get that last prize. So, I mean it is a nice addition for peeps who usually just miss that last prize. They need to keep working on it to make it make sense though. Farm and Disco? :haha: :haha:

If they wanted to change things up, we should have been given advance notice. But they didn't because it would have likely slowed down sales of the current theme.. And please don't tell me not to yell when I just wasted a ton of yodollars & coin collecting items for a contest that has always followed the same exact pattern, that is not your place at all. And as far as the items still being in the sore, I thought about that, and guess what....the eyes & the glasses from those themes don't even register on the bar and they are yo dollar items & I just bought 2 sets of glasses & 3 sets of eyes. So Mario...there is no being calm here....


For the first 8 challenges they followed the exact same pattern. These 2 extra challenges are not at all part of any pattern.

I like that they did it this way compared to last month. I bet it was a lot easier for a lot of players compared to last month, it was easier for me :thumbsup: I have actually used some of the items in outfits I have saved, I believe I even used a DD2020 hair for an NPC ( I'll have to double check that). Using old items to get more Gems isn't a bad thing. Last month , having to buy specific things and there being no specific prizes for that, was not to my liking. I thought that was wrong. But I like the idea of more challenges. I use to sit anxiously waiting for the next Gem Event to start (a lot of players are the same) so a couple extra challenges is not a bad thing at all ( those that want a couple day break can simply take that break and not do the extra challenges)

Why put a limit on how much fun one can have, that is a personal limit that should be set by the individual person.

It's like McDonalds, I don't eat there but I don't stop others from eating there. I just simply go across the way to me va me and get a shawarma instead :drool:

I really haven't participated this month (mainly 100 gemmer entries) so I was surprised to see I could fill the booster bar and it cost me nothing :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

This is in response to anyone who has commented anything that resembles that "if we don't like it, don't participate" or "These are extra challenges you don't have to do", or "some of us like the extra gem contests, so why take away our fun"..... Fun fact, you are not the only ones playing this game. In fact I would say that your opinions are not the opinions of the majority of players. When these "extra" challenges are put forward by the game, those who do not care for them & choose not to enter are stuck twiddling our thumbs for SIX days while you get to have your "extra fun". Again...you are not the only ones playing the game.

But nothing changed for you...


For the first 8 challenges they followed the exact same pattern. These 2 extra challenges are not at all part of any pattern.


the 1st 8 challenges followed the pattern you speak of. You lost nothing from BVG adding 2 extra challenges requiring items that players did not know about. You could not have planned for it, nobody could. These challenges changed nothing for you except gave you an option to do more...

You clearly do not like them so don't do them.. what do you lose when you skip doing the extra 2 challenges?

If BVG finds that it's worth while to keep doing them they will... us disagreeing with one another won't change much. Money speaks louder than words.. that's why we see so many female hairs and such, they are bigger spenders compared to the male players, and there are probably more of them playing.

And neither are you the only one playing the game. Everybody plays yo differently in a different way. No players way of playing yo is wrong or right. Just different styles,,m sorry that you don’t enjoy the extra hard challenges however I know many fellow players who do find them fun. What should bvg do, stop the extra hard challenges because you perceive the majority doesn’t enjoy them? What about those who do enjoy them? No matter what bvg does about these challenges some will not be happy and some will. We have no hard facts or data about how many players enter the extra hard challenges so we don’t know what the majority wants. Viking Andrew posted her3 the forumers here are an extreme vocal minority of the total number of players of yo. I do think we all should keep that fact at least in the back of our minds at the very least. All the words above are nothing more than my opinion and I think everyone knows the old saw about opinions :haha:

:thumbsup: You make a good point miss lala, this is not real life. A game should be fun and enjoyable and if a game makes me unhappy I stop playing it. Same with all online or rl games for me. I do not invest my emotions into games. I’m not trying to tell annyone how to feel anbout this game only how I feel about it Emotions run very high and widespread in this silly little game we play.

I so agree, dianabanana. I only returned to playing about six months ago, so no long history of experience or opinion of any issues. I have been doing the gem events, but today's was a real puzzler for me as I wasn't around for those themes. It took two tries for me to create an outfit that I even liked. I was prepared to enter without consideration of the bar just for the gems, and I was AOK with that. Through another's generosity, I was able to fill the bar and enter. This is what I am loving about the game! Some people are so positive, helpful, kind, and generous. It is a game, and I don't get upset (might get upset with myself if I go to the casino :haha:). Just my one cent opinion :haha:

wow you so missed the point completely...ok, I'll explain... Do you see how it felt when I made that statement? Made you bristle just a bit didn't it? Welp, that's exactly how it feels when some of you jump on us that don't like them & complain.... NOW do you understand the point? I didn't say people don't play differently or any of the other things you added. In closing, THE POINT, is if ya'll don't like someone saying what I did, then maybe don't be so quick with the dismissive answers when others complain. Remember :thumbsup: We all play the game differently. So we're all entitled to express our opinions, even me dianna.

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Introducing Super Challenges! (May 2nd, 2025)
Postby Viking Andrew » Fri Apr 25, 2025 11:42 am

Update: 5/29

Hello YoFans,


We've been listening closely to your feedback on our new Super Challenge initiative, and we greatly appreciate our community sharing your thoughts with us.

Our original intent was to create an exciting bonus opportunity for those seeking extra rewards, as an addition to the standard Gem Event experience. It’s clear based on your feedback that we’ve missed the mark. So, with that in mind, we're pausing on any Super Challenge releases in the immediate future to reevaluate and revamp this feature, should we decide to bring it back.

Super Challenges were designed to be challenges with higher stakes that offered a challenging twist on decorating and dressing up; however rather than feeling challenging like we hoped, Super Challenges felt restrictive. We sincerely apologize for this and promise we will do better in the future.

While Super Challenges will not be offered in June, we'll carefully review all your valuable feedback to make improvements for the future. If you have more suggestions on what you’d like to see from Super Challenges - including what kind of challenge themes or rewards you want featured, please tell us!

As part of the feedback you shared with us, we heard from many players that they enjoy the idea of having extra contests each month. We think that is fantastic feedback, and we agree! To ensure we have 10 challenges for our committed Gem Event fans, we're going to launch two unique, alternative challenges next month inspired by some beloved classic in-store themes. Keep an eye out for more information on updates to our Gem Events in the near future.

Your feedback is incredibly important to us, so please don't hesitate to share your thoughts on this or any other matter.

You can contribute your feedback through our Feedback Tracker at the link provided https://o8m772mnise.typeform.com/to/Q2Hf6wOv
This is challenge 8, not a challenge 9 or 10 so this IS NOT an extra challenge.


Lynn (13116850) wrote:I just saw that. when I glanced quick my upper left said 8 tokens, you're right it is #9.


I guess up till this point you were confused and thought it was the 8th challenge and you were upset that they changed the requirements that, as you say, players plan for in advance and spend accordingly.

Lynn (13116850) wrote:Let's also remember what happened with the scores the last time they had these super challenges....


Then you mentioned the scores from last months challenge.

Lynn (13116850) wrote:Or maybe they could just stick with the current theme & stop trying to make the extra 2 challenges they've added that to my knowledge no one asked for so difficult... Who exactly decided that making the extra 2 challenges overly difficult? These extra challenges didn't go over well last month, changing the title doesn't change the fact that they are a bunch of garbage(I DID want to use a stronger word)


Then you are saying how overly difficult they make it..

It was actually easier this time, all the items required where in the store. Classic items that some players might already have and therefore get to use again. I think it's a great idea, 2 challenges using classic in store items, not current theme, there are might even be more items to choose from.

Is it now about sitting around waiting, twiddling thumbs for 6 days? You can just deco a room and post it in forums.. make an outfit and post in the forum. You won't get a prize but players might comment on it, has the same value as a vote, just no prize.

Lynn (13116850) wrote:AND I didn't even mention that these extended challenges make it harder for everyone to reach the final gem prize AND we are getting less & less actual new gem prizes throughout the month.



You're wrong ..
The 2 extra challenges actually help players get more gems and tokens for the final prize. Often I am 10 or 20 tokens away from the final prize.. this only helps me, and others, achieve that goal. BVG actually made it easier to get more items from the tiers by giving players 2 extra challenges.. and better chance of getting the final prize from the tokens, usually a pet.

Thanks for doing this BVG and I hope it continues!!


Reading your posts it's clear that it was one problem, changing the pattern. When realizing you were mistaken it became a concern for scores. Then it was about how overly difficult it is. Then it was just get rid of them completely.

If it's not one thing it's another, nothing is perfect, gotta make the best of what's around

I posted this in my comment to Barbie on page 2 pf this thread!

Nobody won, but they did give 300YC to 24 player's who got a 5.8 in a Regular Gem Event Challenge and 300YC to 16 player's who were close to a 5.8 in the Super Challenges!

the difference between having 8 challenges and 10 challenges is they raised the silver bar by 10 bars.
it used to be 290 now it's 300.

meaning in the instance that one of our 8 scores is below a 4.5, we could no longer reach the 290, we'd have to participate in one of the last challenges to get the last 10 bars. IF we wanted that last silver bar prize.

there are two whole challenges to make up that 10 silver bars though, so it's a good opportunity to get extra gems if needed/wanted.

also it's much cheaper typically to purchase hairs when they are released ahead of time for 9yc each and when loads of players are selling off their extras for 100k-150k a hair in the AH than to wait for the day of the outfit challenge when you can't find the hairs or they are 18yc in stores or players want 600k for them.

i had the items for DD2020, no biggie, worked out for me. but i sympathize with those who don't hoard as much as i do. i'd never have wanted to spend 18yc per hair to easily fill that bar.

flatch, i believe you wore one of the Drama fros in your mafia npc. love that one.

Maybe they will start off the next event with the beach? I will be much happier about this if they do because I also spent a lot of money on this theme. I really think they should do a survey before making changes like going from 8 to 10 events. They only hear from people on the forum and the majority of players rarely if ever go on the forum. About 20 people on the forum might want something that thousands of players don't. The voting system is so awful and something needs to be done. There are people that vote for the first 5 people without even looking and there are bitter people who vote for the worst entries. I also don't believe everyone gets shown an equal amount as I will see the same person 3 times while voting and they will have 5 stars in spite of being horrible, simply by being shown so much. I have had multiple entries that deserved a 5.8 and gotten a low score and entries I barely worked on that get a high score. Everyone I talk to has had the same experience.

Yo is become a ghost town, numbers dropping like swatted flies. And this isn't an opinion anyone with OPEN eyes can see. I'm not getting ensnared with the money pit and many others feel the same.

I'm not liking how it has become more and more like a daily spending just to have pixels, for me enough is enough, and I just come in grab and leave. So my joy has dropped just like all the designs etc.
