FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS QUEST
please read before asking
I have missed this quest! Why can’t I start it yet?
You cannot miss main quests they have to be completed in order. You need to complete all previous quests (list can be found here) and reach level 24 before you can start this quest
Can I complete this quest even though I have passed level 24?
Yes, you just need to complete all previous quests then this quest will start automatically
Why are there two versions of this quest?
Some quests have two versions, as when the makers have updated the times for quests they haven’t updated them on all devices so some players still get the old times
Does a senior have to complete these goals?
No, an adult can
I can’t place the magazines in my house, why?
You need to put them on a table or counter, you cannot place them on the floor
My sims won’t read the magazine, help!
Do blue footprints appear? Read the answer below
Why do blue footprints appear when I try to use an item?
Blue footprints appear when your sim cannot access an item you want them to use, you need to either rotate the item or move an item that has been placed in front of it so they can use it
What do you mean when you say a goal can be started early?
Any goal that you can normally do can be started early because you will have access to it and any goal that you can’t normally do you will have to wait until you get the goal to be able to complete it
The tip with this method is to put the sim doing that action early in a different house that you cannot go to until you get that goal or it will not work
What do I get if I complete this quest in the time limit?
A pet bird
What happens if I don’t complete in the time limit, can I still finish this quest?
Yes you have to finish it to unlock the bird feeding hobby before you can move onto the next quest
I didn’t complete in the time limit, can I restart the quest?
No, you cannot redo quests
Can I still get the prize if I don’t complete in the time limit?
No, the only way to get the limited time prizes is by completing the quest in the time limit
I don’t like this quest! Can I just skip it?
No, you have to complete this quest before you can move onto the next one
Some times are slightly different on my game, why is this?
Times may vary depending on the star rating of the item you are using, as the higher star rating an item has the quicker you will complete a goal
Some times are really off/ different goals show for me, why is this?
This will be because the quest has been updated recently, I try my best to keep these posts up to date but it is difficult as I cannot redo every quest each time the game is updated. If you notice any changes please let me know so I can update the post

Good grief! Is it even possible to do this one in the time frame without actually looking ahead and doing one or two of those 1 day tasks early? I’m afraid I didn’t check here until part way through the quest and wound up having to use LPs to finish the last task. Thanks to your tip about cooking though, I haven’t actually had to spend any money on this game.
Yes it is, but I would always recommend looking ahead because on this quest you can start these tasks early:
Read an encyclopedia- 3 hrs
Grow pumpkins- 1 day
Bake pumpkin pie- 10 hrs
To save some time
You’re welcome
Can you start actions earlier with different sims or do you have to do it with the same sim throughout the quest? Also, are there any other hobby options that let you earn LPs quickly besides cooking- I’m tired of cleaning up the dishes 😦
You can start normal actions that you can usually do early, but you don’t have to use the same sim throughout the quest
Not really, cooking is really the fastest, you could try ghost hunting, fashion or toddler playhouse but none of them are as quick
Hey, I just got to the last step… “all-night bird spotting” — the time frame has been increased to 1 day and 9 hours (33 hours total) for this activity.
thanks, updated.
In all quests, is there one that asks you to build pet store? Thank you very much! I love your blog!
It used to be quest for toddlers but I think they removed this goal from the quest so you can build the pet store whenever you want
You’re welcome and thanks!
Hey, I actually spent less time on these missions . For example when you said it takes 33 hours to complete bird spoting, it took me 22 hours . I’m not sure whether it’s a bad thing but it did throw me off.
Version 2 would have been what you had then, it does say if version 1 isn’t correct for you please scroll down for version 2.
Why is there a version 1 and version 2? How do you get the second version?
Because the makers of the game haven’t updated the version on all devices yet so some people still get the old version which is version 1
Will I still get the bird even though I haven’t built the pet shop? Or I have to build the pet shop first? I don’t have enough money so I’m scared that I can’t get the bird because I haven’t build it 😦
The bird can be found in the pet section of buy mode, not in the pet store
so my question is that (its not related to this quest)how can i complete actions faster without using lp?
thank you for your time
note:please ans fast in emergency!!!!
Sorry but you can’t really, unless you start a task early like explained in this post: https://thegirlwhogames.wordpress.com/2014/11/11/the-sims-freeplay-starting-goals-early/
The amount of time mentioned for several tasks doesn’t fit with the inages a lot of the times. For example, you say it will take you 8h 30 min to search for birds in a tree (first step, version 1) whereas the image shows that it takes 3min 30 sec. That’s quite a big difference. There are several steps where the same thing is an issue. Which are correct: the written descriptions or the images? (Please, let it be the images)
The written time is correct, I am sorry but I do not have pictures of the different times so I’ve had to use the same ones for each version.

Okay, thanks for clarifying, that makes sense. I was just hoping that maybe I would not have to do all these looooong tasks but I guess there’s no other way.
The written times are always the correct times otherwise I would just post the pictures, the pictures are just to show you what object you need to use more than show you the time.
Hi! First, I want to say that I love your blog so so much and I’ve gotten nearly every limited time prize thanks to you, but, I haven’t been playing as much recently, and so I’ve only got 3 hours left to complete this quest but I still have to search a tree at the swim Center, so I know I won’t get the un-caged bird. Anyways, my question is, do you really NEED a senior for this quest, and do you need a senior for the next quest, In Stitches. I don’t have any seniors yet but I am currently baking 2 birthday cakes. Again, this blog is such a help! Byeeee 💞😘🙌
Thanks!
No, you don’t need a senior to complete this quest or for the next quest
How can I do this quest? I wasn’t able to finish the Senior quest…
You need to finish the seniors quest first
I’m unable to throw bird seeds at the park fountain. All I get is the blue footprints! Does the sim have to be a senior to complete this task?
The sim doesn’t have to be a senior, they need to be at least an adult so are you using an adult sim for this?
Thanks a lot! Your blog really help me whenever there’s a quest I want to start or just pass by.
You’re very welcome!
What if i was able to complete the quest on time..Do i need to get pet store for getting the parrot??
You will need the pet store to unlock the pet tab in the home store where you can find the parrot to buy, you won’t need to buy it from the pet store.
If you get the bird in the time limit then what do you get from completing the hobby?
There are two different birds, you get one if you complete the quest in the time limit and a different one if you complete the hobby.
Hi, I didn’t get this quest, I just started playing again, I’m level 49, I just did the life dreams and legacy, I can do the quilting hobby though… no birds, no benches, none of that. Any ideas what to do?
That is very strange! You may want to contact the makers to see why you haven’t had this quest in your game to see if they can fix this issue for you.
If i have to complete one task for 2 different questions, can I just do I once or do i have to do the task twice. For example I am doing the Bird Feeding questions and the Dance to Remember questions both right now, and you have to grow a pumpkin for both. So can I just grow the pumpkins once or so I need 2 Sims growing at the same time?
Yes if you grow pumpkins once it will complete both of those tasks.
I am not getting the option to throw seeds at the swim center when I touch the grass between the two palm trees. What can I do to get this option?
Have you sent your sim to the swim center first?
I was looking for the option at palm trees which are inside the swim center but this option comes at palm trees which are right outside the swim center. Problem solved.
I’m glad you managed to solve it
