I have a question about when we choose another sim as our main sim. I did this with the new update yesterday. I didn't think about all the lava cards my main sim had before I changed the sim. My new main sim don't have those cards. Will the Main sim Cards be transferred to the new main sim or what? how does this work? I wanted to get all the Lava Cards and have played the first two games with my older main sim. Can someone help with this?

Per the blog, it doesn't matter which of the sims has the cards.
The lamps, when they are issued, will all be given to the primary sim on the account.

Yes, but according to
this post, if different sims complete different colors then different lamps will be issued based on the colors that the individual completed so that even if the same account completed all 7 colors, if different SIMS did it on the account then they'd get lava lamps with all the colors represented, but not on the same lamp. One could get a red and orange, and if another sim finished the game the primary avatar would receive a separate lamp with the yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet.
Based on that, if it was me I would not change my primary avatar if I was in the running for completing all 7 games. Premium accounts will get more than 1 anniversary item in each city, so its not just the selected primary that can receive it since primary is a singular avatar, right?

No. ALL lamps are given to the primary Sim.

Groovy Lava Game: Info about the final rewards!
Posted in Fun, Events by Sarah on the March 13th, 2008
You’ve been asking for information about how the lava lamps will be rewarded at the end of these mini-games.
Firstly, when you complete a game we record that fact in our database and gift you a certificate. You don’t need to keep these certificates and can even delete them if you wish (but it’s nice to see how many people display them proudly!). To be clear, if you complete a game twice, we record that you completed twice., etc.
Initially I wrote that it did not matter if you completed a game more than once but many of you have been begging to make it count so we will. This makes things more complicated but means people can earn more than one lamp. Please bear with me in the explanation that follows!
We will award people their lava lamps in a few weeks when this set of mini games is fully complete. Using any combination of your avatars, if you earn ALL colors you will earn a lava lamp that animates.
Every founder in EA-Land will get 1 lava lamp that glows white but has no colored lava in it… !
Then, additionally, we will award a number of colorful lava lamps to the primary avatar on your account depending on what games you played and how many times. Right now the primary avatar is your oldest avatar on EA-Land but Mark is working on a way to let you pick which avatar you would like to mark as the primary one.
If you complete no games, you will only get the basic white lamp.
If you completed just the red game you would get a lamp with the red color but not the other rainbow colors.
If you complete multiple games multiple times, here is how we will award the lamps, using an example.
Example:
Imagine we have account called, BrothersGrimm which has 8 avatars named SnowWhite, Bashful, Doc, Dopey, Grumpy, Happy, Sleepy, and Sneezy. Snow White is the oldest character.
Imagine that when all the games have ended, this is what is recorded for the avatars on that account:
SnowWhite earned 1 red certificate.
Sleepy and Sneezy earned 1 orange certificate each.
Happy earned 3 green certificates.
Doc earned 3 yellow certificates.
The total earned by the account is 1 red, 2 oranges, 3 greens and 3 yellows - it does not matter which avatars earned them. Then we will simply make lamps until we’ve used up those colors. The BrothersGrimm account will be awarded
One Lava Lamp that glows red, orange, green and yellow
One Lava Lamp that glows orange, green and yellow.
One Lava Lamp that glows green and yellow.
<font color="red">Those lamps plus the standard white one for all founders will be placed into SnowWhite’s inventory, as she is the primary avatar.</font> If and only if you earn ALL colors (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet) then your lava lamp with animate!
Now it really will be interesting to see how you play these games…
The current game is to earn the orange color. Good luck and enjoy!

YES all lamps will be given to primary, however the lamps will be split up in color according to which sim completed the game, so that if
1 sim completed red and orange
#2 completed yellow and blue
#3 completed gren indigo and violet
the primary avatar would not receive a singular 7 colored lamp, she'd receive 3 lamps with the corresponding colors in each lamp. The same sim must complete all 7 games in order to receive a fully animated lamp. That was my point.

In the example, only Snow White earned a red certificate (and
only a red certificate), but the only lamp with red ALSO had orange, green and yellow. According to *your* scenario, there should have been one lamp with only red in it.
This means that if all seven colors are earned
(by any combination of Sims on the account), 1 rainbow lamp will be given to the primary Sim. If any of the colors are earned more than once, then another lamp will be given (also to the primary Sim) in that color (or combination of colors).
It's the
account - not the Sim.
