What a treat! The Mieville Steampunk sim is celebrating Chinese Lunar New Year with a week worth of events (Feb 16- 24) including yesterday (day 4) fireworks display at the wharf. There is also a fishing contest, dance party and lantern festival planned. A lucky red packet hunt with a 100 hidden envelopes worth 2L each is ongoing. Collect them all and redeem at the end of the week during the lantern festival. Honestly, I spent 3 hours looking for the hidden packets and could not find one. So good luck, and I hope to see you at some of the events!
