I still there is a 3 event limit. I only have two kids in the house right now. I got 3 events this morning with two kids. My first kid was a toddler, the second baby. I did the toddler and the baby mentoring. Right after I did the baby, a cake popped up for him and I got a new mentoring event. Now I have two toddlers

@CarenKM Dose your retired sim have a family bubble over over their head? When you get that bubble you have different options when you click on it. You can do friendship actions but there should also be mentoring in hobby or career option where you earn an heirloom ticket reward . Look at the different options and make sure you choose the heirloom ticket reward option

Thanks for your reply. There is no bubble on my retired sim’s head, will the bubble show up itself when time passes or I needa do sth first in order to let that bubble show up?

no, your sim can have a different hobby or career . The elder will mentor in any hobby or career. The elder will stay in your game for 5 days before permanently retiring and leaving your game. They will take their place in the family portrait after 5 days. You should get the mentoring options for 5 days until the sim leaves the game. When the elder gets a cake over their head you click on the cake and they will leave the game

You can miss the quest if you don't look. I did that this morning. I meant to do the mentoring and did a friendship quest instead. Right after I got my sim's retirement birthday cake so I lost out on my heirloom ticket.

 

Are you saying your not getting the mentoring bubble ? In the bubble it has grandparent holding a child's hand . You than have to look at all your options and make sure you choose the mentoring option with the heirloom and not friendship

I have never seen a bubble like that - grandparents holding a child’s hand Frown I’m now keeping my eyes on the elder sim and the only thoughts I see are different irrelevant emojis lol

If your not getting that bubble, you have a game bug. Sometimes my bubbles show up and sometimes they don't . They tend to not show up if I have a bunch of kids in the house that also have mentor options. Sometimes my kid's bubble's don't work either.

I have 3 kids in the house and that might be the problem. Maybe I should contact the EA help.
