This post about the fashion designer hobby was requested by a few people so here it is! I will tell you a little bit about how to do the hobby and the rewards you can get from it.
Who can be a fashion designer?
Adults
How can you be a fashion designer?
Firstly you need to have built the promotions r us store to buy the fashion studio, once you have brought the studio it will be put into your inventory, from there you can put it into one of your houses. Tap the studio to make a sim create a design.
Where can I be a fashion designer?
In any of your houses that have a fashion studio in them, or at a neighbours.
What are the fashion designer options?
- Design Fashion-10 minutes
- Work Overtime-1 hour
- Tailor Chef-d’oeuvre-6 hours
- Create Next Big Thing-12 hours
Each of the options increases your fashion skill level. Once you have completed the time an exclamation mark will appear above your sims head.
What are the fashion designer levels?
There are 6 levels, these are:
- Fashion Disaster
- Fashion Faux-Pas
- The Look
- Fashionista
- What’s Hot
- Fashion God
How do I collect clothing pieces?
To collect clothes you need to design fashions, everytime you design something you will receive a clothing piece. As you increase levels you will unlock new pieces to collect.
What clothing pieces are there to collect?
The pictures below will show you the clothing pieces you can collect:
Level 1 pieces are:
- Brown Fishersims Hat
- Fishersims Overalls
- Gum Boots
Level 2 piece is:
- Blue Overalls
Level 3 pieces are:
- Striped Shirt
- Red Boots
Level 4 pieces are:
- Dress Pants
- Leather Shoes
Level 5 pieces are:
- Vest and Shirt Combo
- Pink Dress
Level 6 pieces are:
- Black Coat
- Chichi Heels
What do I win?
The first time you find all the pieces you unlock the fashion outfits (you need to build the costume and swim store then you will find them in the outfits section, the female outfit costs S9,500, the male outfit costs S8,500)
The second time completing unlocks the lucky hat (which can be found in the wardrobe for adults under hats)
Further times you will receive 3 LPs
I can’t find one of the pieces, any tips?
The only advice I can really give you is to keep going, that is the only way you can find them- there is no trick to it, its completely random.
Is it worth using the lucky spin?
I would say no, it doesn’t give you one that you need it just gives you one at random so really it is probably just a waste of LPs
How do I start the collection again?
Once you have finished the collection you can click design again at the top of the fashion designer list to start over.

Thanks so much for writing this blog. Lifesaver
May 22, 2014 at 1:15 pm
No problem 🙂
May 8, 2016 at 3:57 pm
How do you restart the hair botiquet quest if you failed the first time?
May 9, 2016 at 12:19 pm
You cannot do this yet because it isn’t available right now but it will be back again soon so you will be able to complete the hobby again then to get the hairstyles, just keep your eyes out for the pop up telling you it has started.
June 29, 2014 at 9:07 pm
Should I use 1 hour or 6 hour option to find the chichi heels? Does it increase my chances using a longer time?
June 29, 2014 at 10:01 pm
No it doesn’t increase your chance, the longer time increases your skill level
June 30, 2014 at 4:36 pm
I finished 2 time. Where can I find lucky hat
June 30, 2014 at 6:43 pm
From the wardrobe
July 29, 2014 at 10:28 am
I didn’t press the start collection again button at the bottom. Is there anyway to start the collection over with a new Sims or am I just stuck? I did the same thing when I completed the Horse Tricks Hobby, I didn’t click the start collection again button.
July 30, 2014 at 11:11 am
No you can press it at any time! Just do it now and start collecting again
August 16, 2014 at 3:08 am
I’m at end of level 3 but keep getting the same items over and over. What’s up with that?
August 16, 2014 at 9:52 pm
It happens, just keep going, you will get other ones eventually
August 21, 2014 at 2:11 pm
It really helped me. Thanks
August 21, 2014 at 4:57 pm
No problem 🙂
August 21, 2014 at 8:19 pm
How is that I got level 4 and 5 things when I’m a level 2 for the fashion studio
August 22, 2014 at 6:12 pm
Have you had a previous level 6 fashion designer? That unlocks them for future times
August 22, 2014 at 3:52 am
Thanks!
August 22, 2014 at 6:09 pm
No problem 🙂
August 24, 2014 at 6:11 am
Luv your blog! Thnx so much!
August 24, 2014 at 10:23 am
You’re welcome 🙂
August 25, 2014 at 9:00 pm
Amazing blog. I have a problem with my fashion hobby. I was doing 10-minute actions all the time but once I reached level 5 I don’t seem to go any further if I do only 10-minute actions. Is my best choice 1 hour now?
Thanks
August 26, 2014 at 11:35 am
Thanks 🙂 get one of your sims doing a longer option until they reach level 6 then go back to the 10 minute option
August 29, 2014 at 1:58 am
I have completed the long hair and the dress and man suit lines, plus the green hat one and have completed the 3lp once now for fashion studio… I have the hat in the wardrobe option, but the dress, heels, jacket and mans outfit and shoes did not show up… Glitch? I can even see the hat in the salon… I dont know whats happened…?
September 3, 2014 at 6:52 pm
They can be found in the costume and swim store
October 18, 2014 at 6:24 pm
Does getting the lucky hat have any benefit?
October 22, 2014 at 2:39 pm
I don’t think so!
October 21, 2014 at 9:33 pm
You should try ghost hunting. You can do it in less than 4 minutes and get LPs for completed sets faster!
October 22, 2014 at 2:51 pm
Cooking is now the best way to get LPs quickly.
July 8, 2016 at 7:22 am
How do u get lps on cooking? Btw you blog is great and really helps me:)
July 11, 2016 at 9:06 am
This post explains how to earn LPs from the cooking hobby: https://thegirlwhogames.wordpress.com/2015/01/14/the-sims-freeplay-how-do-i-have-so-many-lps/
Thanks, I’m glad it helps!
October 30, 2014 at 6:54 pm
Your Sims freeplay article for the hobby “fashion designer” mentions place that you call the “Fashion & fancy dress shop”. I can’t find ANY building (or place to build either) with that name? Does it have a different name, & what is it next to?
October 30, 2014 at 7:23 pm
It’s now called the costume and swim store
December 26, 2014 at 11:11 pm
I was wondering about the purpose of the lucky hat?
December 27, 2014 at 5:38 pm
your sims can wear it
January 28, 2015 at 12:50 am
So I just completed the entire set, and it says I got the new outfits, but I don’t know how to access them? Like I would click the wardrobe to change their outfits and (I’m not sure if it has anything to do with the new update) there’s nothing new there. Thank you c:
February 11, 2015 at 12:38 pm
I believe with the new update you have to build the costume and swim store, then they will be in your wardrobe

You’re right. The lucky spin was a waste of LPs. I will keep trying to complete the sets and get the long hair styles!! 😄
March 9, 2015 at 6:07 pm
Can you help? My sim is on level one fashion designer, and I have completed the first set of clothes. How do I get other sets of clothes? I keep getting the same!!!!
March 9, 2015 at 6:35 pm
your sim needs to get to level 6 to unlock the whole collection
March 17, 2015 at 2:29 am
Is there any way of wearing these items you make?
March 17, 2015 at 8:59 am
only the suit and dress rows as shown in the picture in the post.
March 26, 2015 at 4:59 pm
I finished the set but have not built the custom & swimming store if I reset the hobby will I loose the fashion outfit till next time I finish the set or I can reset and then build the store and they will be there?
March 27, 2015 at 3:46 pm
no, if you reset they will be in the store when you build it.
September 4, 2015 at 6:29 pm
How ti get complete fashion designer sims freeplay
and how to get long hair event unlock??
September 11, 2015 at 4:08 pm
you need to buy a fashion studio from promotions r us
The long hair event was only available for a limited time so you can’t do it right now, sorry.
September 9, 2015 at 2:27 am
If you quit a hobby, I know you lose all your experience, but do you lose the physical items you’ve won? Like outfits?
September 9, 2015 at 4:23 pm
no you don’t
September 10, 2015 at 1:57 am
Awesome. Thank you!
September 16, 2015 at 8:51 pm
Sorry, but I’m not sure to build the Costiume stor, because I need money for the Mall. Are this outfits free?? Like wedding outfits. I get wedding outfits free in salon, but I’m not sufe for this outfits… If theye aren’t free, than I’ll stop doing the hobby because I don’t have Coustiume and Swim store 😥
September 23, 2015 at 4:15 pm
Yes the outfits you win in this hobby are free
March 29, 2016 at 7:12 am
I had to pay 9500 Simoleons to buy one of the fashion outfits I won from completing this hobby once through. It seems to now be available for all female sims.
March 29, 2016 at 8:33 pm
Yes, they have changed it, they are now free once you build the costume and swim store.
September 29, 2015 at 8:21 am
I can’t get any items other than the top row of the collection, the brown fishermen hat, overalls, and gumboots. I have been playing for 3 hours. I have even had 3 people creating fashion. I have tried the different times of making items like the 10 minute and the hour one. I get the same result. Is it really this hard or is there a glitch?
October 2, 2015 at 8:57 am
one sim needs to get to level 6 in the hobby to be able to unlock all items, there are tips on this post: https://thegirlwhogames.wordpress.com/2015/09/30/the-sims-freeplay-ringlets-of-fire-quest-29th-sept-6th-oct/

I’m not sure if there’s anything that can be done, I’m just curious if anyone else had this problem or knows how I can fix this. I’ve been doing this hobby for at least a month…I’ve been level 6 for quite some time and I still have not gotten the last item which is the chichi heels. I’ve tried doing the 10 min option over and over and over again. I’ve done the 1 hour option all day as often as I can and still can’t get it. Is this a glitch or am I just really unlucky? Has anyone else had this problem?
April 8, 2016 at 6:00 pm
This isn’t a glitch, you are just unlucky, unfortunately the heels are rare so they take longer to find, all you can do is keep going, I know it is frustrating but you will get it one day!
May 9, 2016 at 6:18 pm
(OT) If I didn’t finish the quest on time, I will not be able to get the free limited items. Is this the same for all quests?
I’m at level 26 and I’m still on the Sous Judgmental quest, I always run out of time 😦 Your blog is really helpful, though. Thanks for this!
May 9, 2016 at 7:15 pm
You have to complete quests in the time limit to get the time limited prize, but you can still complete quests once the time limit it up.
I’m glad it helps, you’re welcome!
May 10, 2016 at 6:10 pm
I really love your blog! It really helped a lot.
I just want to share that before, I was disappointed that I did not get the Latin villa template and wasted so many LPs… Then I’ve search and read your blog and been following your tips eve since.. especially the hobbies and quests. Now I have unlock vaulting, horse jumping, broomstick flying, breakdancing, completed the infant outfits, and had a pet dragon 🙂 All I did is to keep going just what you advised.. even though I did not get some of the limited prizes, I keep on playing 😀 big thanks to you 🙂
May 13, 2016 at 9:14 pm
Oh I am so glad I have been able to help! I hope you keep enjoying the game 🙂
May 15, 2016 at 7:42 am
Hi,I just completed the collection once. I have already built the costume and swim center. But I couldnt find the outfits anywhere. I checked in the costume store and also their wardrobes..but the outfits couldnt be found. Do you have any idea where they might be?
Also, I really like your blog! It is seriously so helpful! 🙂
May 21, 2016 at 8:15 am
It will be in the outfits section of the store and will cost you S9,500
Thanks, I’m glad it helps 🙂
May 15, 2016 at 9:39 am
Can I have more than one if I can where can I find it
May 16, 2016 at 9:17 am
Yes, buy the fashion studios from the promotions r us store.
May 17, 2016 at 5:28 pm
Hi! Do you know which fashion designer option is the most efficient (time wise) in increasing the percentage of a level? I currently need to level up to be able to unlock a clothing piece, and can’t decide if I should do the 10 mins option repeatedly or the 12 hr option instead. Thanks in advance! I love your blog btw. :))
May 18, 2016 at 9:02 am
The 10 minute option increases your percentage very slowly each time so I usually do the longest option but if you have the time to do the shorter options you can see the percentage it increases on the first few times so you can work out how many times you would need to do it using that option to level up to see if it is worthwhile doing that option compared to another one but if you are going to be busy throughout the day stick to the longest option
Thanks!
May 18, 2016 at 5:53 pm
Hello, I can’t find the dress in the costume store after collecting all the clothing pieces 😦
May 21, 2016 at 8:14 am
It will be in the outfits section of the store and will cost you S9,500
June 2, 2016 at 7:21 pm
Occasionally there are free fan created outfits. How do you create a submission or get the outfits?
June 4, 2016 at 3:49 pm
I don’t know how you submit them but you can find the current ones in the costume and swim store under outfits for female adults.
June 29, 2016 at 1:04 pm
What do you get each time the sim levels up?
July 5, 2016 at 8:21 am
First time you level up you unlock the new fashion designs to be able to complete the collection, further times
Reaching level 2- 250XPs
Reaching level 3- 500XPs
Reaching level 4- S750
Reaching level 5- 10,000 added on to town value
Reaching level 6- 1LP
July 23, 2016 at 5:59 am
Do you need the costume & swim store to finish the hobby? I have 1 item left to unlock and have been working on it back to back for days, and have not gotten it.
July 23, 2016 at 11:59 am
No you don’t, just keep going with the 10 minute option, hopefully you will get it soon, some do take longer than others to find though.
September 17, 2016 at 1:50 pm
Hi I’m currently doing the hair botique event and all by sims are level 6 and I got all clothes in like 1 day and a few hours but I just can’t get the heels and days are passing and I’m trying to get atleast 3 or 4 of the hair. Please help
September 18, 2016 at 9:21 am
If your sims are level 6 then try to do the 10 minute option over and over, the heels can take a long time to get so doing the 1 hour or 6 hour options is going to take you even longer to get them.
November 18, 2016 at 4:53 am
Hi, im doing social task . The task is doing design fashion in a neighbor’s house . So anyone have fashion studio in your home, pls help me to come your home in the sims . Can i know your facebook name if you have fashion studio in your home in the sims freeplay ?
November 19, 2016 at 9:34 pm
You can find lots of people who need neighbours here: https://thegirlwhogames.wordpress.com/neighbour-requests/
December 26, 2016 at 5:11 am
If I have all but one item and I’ve been trying to get it for months, would using the lucky spin get it for me or just one I already have?
December 30, 2016 at 8:59 pm
The lucky spin will find you one in that row so it may be one you already have but its worth a try if you have been on it too long!
December 31, 2016 at 8:39 pm
I might keep spamming this hobby instead of the cooking one for more LPs. Having to check back every minute, with the alternative being staying on this game forever, feels like too much of a hassle. What do you think?
January 2, 2017 at 10:00 am
Yes its definitely worth a try!
January 3, 2017 at 12:40 am
Hey!
I finished the entire set and it never said I’d get the clothes for the guy and girl.
Is it a glitch? Am i gonna get them at all?
P.S.- I love your blogs, they help a lot!
January 8, 2017 at 8:18 am
There was a timed limited hobby event on this hobby recently, did you get a hairstyle instead? If so you agreed to doing this event instead: https://thegirlwhogames.blog/2016/12/29/the-sims-freeplay-the-charming-barber-hair-event/ once the event is over you will be able to complete the hobby to be able to earn the clothes.
Thanks!
January 8, 2017 at 3:33 pm
Thank you!
I redid the collection I got the clothes.
You really helped!
January 11, 2017 at 9:23 am
I’m glad that worked!
April 17, 2017 at 4:56 pm
Why is it taking so long to level up my sim to level 5 to level 6?
April 18, 2017 at 8:19 pm
Try doing one of the longer options.
April 18, 2017 at 1:50 pm
Heyyy! Love ur blog it’s amazing 🙂 Hv a small prob right now tho. I hv a sim on level 5 but no matter how much I do the 10 min option the skill level hardly increases. Is it actually like tht or is it glitched? And what should I do next?
Thanks 🙂
April 18, 2017 at 8:18 pm
Thanks! It isn’t a glitch, you will need to do a longer option to level up quicker.
April 18, 2017 at 8:38 pm
I’m using an iPhone 6 and I don’t have the option to start a new collection.
April 18, 2017 at 8:53 pm
You will only get the option to start a new collection when you have completed the collection, so found all of the fashion pieces.
