The Sims FreePlay Moonlit Mausoleum is the Halloween Craft Challenge running October 15–25, 2026, and the grand prize is the Midnight Crypt set. You’ll need to collect Candles, Pottery, Jewellery, Glassware and Constructor Coins to buy reward packs, with Blood Rose Bouquets, Gary the Gargoyle, Reaper statues, ornate railings and Crypt Mausoleums among the prizes.
Unlike a normal decoration unlock, reaching a milestone on the reward track isn’t enough. You still have to purchase each unlocked pack with the resources you’ve collected. The last grand-prize pack only opens once you’ve bought everything before it, so careful crafting and collecting makes a big difference.
How to start The Sims FreePlay Moonlit Mausoleum
Open The Sims FreePlay during the event, find the Craft Challenge on the Events screen and place your Candle Crafting Station from Buy Mode’s event section. If you already own stations from an earlier event, check your inventory or the house where you last placed them. Tap the station, assign a Sim, finish an initial crafting action and collect the Candles.
Follow the opening tasks to restock a station, buy Pack 1 for 50 Candles, open a Coin Capsule and claim the available Daily Goals. As you produce resources, collect the bonus materials that sometimes float above the Sims’ heads. Remember to open the event tab and claim the daily Constructor Coins yourself.
The Sims FreePlay Moonlit Mausoleum prize packs and resource costs
The following The Sims FreePlay Moonlit Mausoleum prices are from the event’s October 2026 crafting progression. The paired A and B packs are purchased separately, and their costs quickly rise once Pottery, Jewellery and Glassware are unlocked. Keep some Constructor Coins aside for the later packs instead of spending everything as soon as you earn it.
| Pack | Crafting cost | Rewards |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 50 Candles | First reward pack |
| 2A | 1,200 Candles + 5 Coins | Blood and Red Rose Bouquets |
| 2B | 3,600 Candles + 25 Coins | Hanging Blood and Red Rose Bouquets |
| 3A | 10,900 Candles + 8,500 Pottery + 80 Coins | Hammer and Nail for Community Market |
| 3B | 14,500 Candles + 11,300 Pottery + 105 Coins | Two Wood for Community Market |
| 4A | 16,075 Pottery + 17,000 Jewellery + 150 Coins | Dark and Blightful Gary the Gargoyle |
| 4B | 17,000 Pottery + 18,000 Jewellery + 160 Coins | Reaper with Red and White Candelabras |
| 5A | 18,000 Pottery + 19,000 Jewellery + 19,000 Glassware + 165 Coins | Black and White Nightfang Mascarons |
| 5B | 20,000 Pottery + 21,000 Jewellery + 21,000 Glassware + 185 Coins | Spectral and Midnight Arcaded Railings |
| Grand prize | Purchase all earlier packs | Midnight and Spectral Crypt Arbors and Mausoleums |
After unlocking the The Sims FreePlay Moonlit Mausoleum decorations, you can find them in the Home Store, although extra copies may require Simoleons or Life Points. The Craft Challenge pays for the initial reward unlock, not unlimited copies of every object.
Crafting stations, times and resource yields
To collect enough materials for The Sims FreePlay Moonlit Mausoleum, run several stations together. You can place up to four Candle stations, four Pottery stations, three Jewellery stations and two Glassware stations. More stations mean more Sims can work at the same time, which is especially useful when the event is nearly over.
| Station | Maximum | 2h 30m yield | 8h 30m yield |
|---|---|---|---|
| Candles | 4 | 250 | 510 |
| Pottery | 4 | 375 | 765 |
| Jewellery | 3 | 565 | 1,150 |
| Glassware | 2 | 620 | 1,260 |
Happy or Inspired Sims craft slightly faster, so take care of their needs before assigning long sessions. Each station has limited stock; a free restock adds nine uses after a waiting period, while the instant option costs 10 Social Points for 18 uses. Putting a station into storage loses its remaining stock, so keep it placed while you’re working through the challenge.
The Sims FreePlay Moonlit Mausoleum: How to get more Constructor Coins
Constructor Coins are needed for almost every later The Sims FreePlay Moonlit Mausoleum pack. Collect them by progressing along the personal reward track, completing Daily Goals and opening Coin Capsules. The event screen has separate tabs for these sources, so check them whenever your Sims finish a craft session.
Shorter crafting actions suit players who can check the game often, while longer ones are easier overnight. Extra bonus materials appear during crafting, and collecting them helps reach the next milestone. You can spend Social Points to speed up crafting, but frequent normal collections and free restocking will often make enough progress without it.
How to claim the Midnight Crypt grand prize
The final The Sims FreePlay Moonlit Mausoleum prize includes Midnight and Spectral Crypt Arbors plus matching Crypt Mausoleums. You need to purchase every previous A and B reward pack to claim it. Open the rewards tab after reaching the final milestone and check each earlier pack for the purchase button before trying to collect the grand prize.
The Crypt Mausoleums have the same interactions as greenhouses, and the other gothic decorations make excellent pieces for a Halloween garden. If you miss the event this time, progress in Craft Challenges generally carries over when that exact event returns, so your work towards the next prize isn’t wasted.
The Sims FreePlay Moonlit Mausoleum end date and last-day tips
EA lists the The Sims FreePlay Moonlit Mausoleum end as October 25, 2026, at 7:00 UTC. Check the in-game countdown as you get closer, because you must purchase the unlocked prize packs before the event ends. Unused crafting resources convert into Simoleons when the event closes, so spend them on the rewards you want instead of saving them for another challenge.
If you’re running short of time, focus on stations producing the resources for your next unpurchased pack, then open the event screen and claim it as soon as possible. Reaching the grand prize with several locked purchases behind you won’t help unless you can afford to buy those rewards too.
