    Sadly, this is a complaint.
    I have noticed any time you have more than one drop item, the rates are unbalanced. One item will drop much higher than another. I don't mean minor variations, I mean major differences.

    For the rock fest event, rates are particularly skewed. The goal is 300 fans and 250 T-shirts. One might expect a slight skewing toward more fans, but what we see is the exact opposite. I already have 213 T-shirts, am quickly going to reach that goal, but only have 105 fans.

    In this case, at least the "boulder" items are distinct enough its pretty easy to tell them apart. In other cases, its hard so that we wind up wasting coin to "harvest" items we don't need.

    I have noticed skewed rates for other events with more than one simultaneous drop, but have not tracked it like this one.

    Event drops are random, they do not follow player or event needs. The only way to acquire enough items is to keep collecting rent.
    This is unlikely to change in the future but if you have a suggestion please use Ideas Board.

    OK, except collecting rent has nothing to do with boulder drops?

    and... I don't think most rent events actually are random. Its usually a set amount per population in the house.

    At any rate.. it is what it is, so just close the thread.
