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 the bread winner quest and reach level 7 before you can start this quest
Can I complete this quest even though I have passed level 7?
Yes, you just need to complete all previous quests then this quest will start automatically
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
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
The next quest Love is in the Air makes it possible for your sims to get married

Click on a garden plot, find watermelons, click on it and one of your sims will start gardening
why is it the free eternity ring can’t be used? -_- so annoying
You can use it, it’s not free though they give you the money to buy it
Isn’t it stupid how if you want to have a baby on the sims you have to pay for it until you buy the crib and to have the crib and the baby cost 59 somilions.
You have to firstly buy a crib then a baby costs 3LPs
I got mine free and I used it my sims are married and currently about to have kids
Ihad to pay from my pocket😒
They must have changed it then, they used to give you the 10LPs
why is it, I cannot use the free eternity ring? -_- this is so much annoying! :(((
They give you the money to buy it so it isn’t free
Why there’s no mission appears on my money grows on the trees?
Do you mean you haven’t got this quest? You need to be on a certain level and have completed previous quests to get this
I dont have any goals like that im stuck what are the thingz you will do to complete this quest and what level is you will make a baby

How can i make the watermelon into a hot snack in the microwave?
These are two separate goals, you first grow watermelons in a garden plot then the next goal is to make a hot snack in a microwave, for this you need to buy a microwave and select the option
I grew the watermelon and now I need to microwave a hot snack but my some doesn’t want to do that..why? Do I need to buy a new microwave?
Does a blue footprint appear in a bubble? If so you need to rotate the microwave so that the sim can actually access the front of it to use it
What sort of option?? Will occur??
The have a hot snack option, as the quest tells you to do this.
how to rotate the microwave?blue foot prints appear in bubble in my sim.. but i can’t rotate it..
Go to the buy mode, pick it up and it will give you the option to rotate it
How do I get the “money tree”? I can’t find it
There is no money tree, do you mean the simoleon sprout? If so you need to click on a garden plot and it should be the first or second one in the list
i dont get how to make coffeemelon?
What coffeemelon? You don’t make these two things together! You need to make a coffee using the coffee machine and grow watermelons
I am at lvl 10, completed the steps you listed above & still don’t have the sprout show up in my gardening list.
Any suggestions?
Never mind. I figured it out. You have to do the steps with the same sim. 🙂
Well the last task should be to grow the sprout, have you got to that step yet?
I dont get the ponder on the living chair task can someone help ?
Click on any living room chair, like a one seat sofa should work and select the ponder option
After i did the things you listed above what will happen? Does it work im on level 7 almost level 8 and i got the money grow on trees questt=)
It does say in the post, you unlock the simoleon sprount and the life point locus plant, and when you complete this you can start the quest to unlock babies
I wish there was a quicker way to get them LP things

How do you make a hot snack out of watermelon?…cause every time i click on hot snack option or the snack options it wouldn’t work….and its getting annoying u see…anyone plse help me.. 🙂
Why is everyone trying to make a hot snack out of the watermelon?
Grow watermelons and have a hot snack in the microwave are two different tasks
Just buy a microwave make sure they can access the front of it (blue footprints will appear if they can’t) and select the option to have a hot snack.
Ok I’ve grown the watermelons and I need to make hot snack with microwave but I Dnt have one and there aren’t any in the kitchen section I store does anyone no y I’m lvl 9
You must have a microwave, you can do this quest at level 7 so microwaves are unlocked, you should find them after the toasters
I have the same quest but one of the things i have to do is Negotiate with a sim eating plant. Any ideas what i should do?
Are you sure you are doing that quest? There is another one with this goal in it. But you have to grow lettuce and get the sim eating plant on the spinning mini game sort of thing once you get that you can click on it and negotiate with it
That i believe is the easiest task i have ever imagined and the love is in the air is the hardest task i have ever imagined i mean by longest. phew I’m finally at the step of “2 & half Sims”
what’s the name of snack i must choice for make a hot snack…..?
Just click make a hot snack
I did everything up to make a hot snack, but when I click on the microwave it doesn’t give me the option to make a hot snack. Any suggestions that may help?
this goal isn’t in the quest anymore, if it appears for you you should contact EA about the issue.
OH MY GOD THANKS I DIDNT KNOW HOW UNTILL NOW AHHH question: once you have completed this quest is the next quest 2 sims and a halve?
If you update it will be the need for steed quest, if not it will be the two and a half sims quest
I just finished the money grows on trees quest and i didn’t get the life point lotus…
Are you sure? You will find it in the garden plot
In this quest, while a person watches the documentary can you use another sim to grow the plants in advance?
Yep grow the plant in a different house though 🙂
Which chair is the lounge chair. My game doesn’t tell me.
Just any living room chair should work
i am not able to make hot snacks in Microwave… Kindly help.. I am stuck.
Why can’t you do it? Do blue footprints appear? You need to rotate the microwave so the front is accessible
how do u put a pumpkin into the microwave to make it into a hot snack (money grows on tress)
Just click on the microwave and click have a hot snack
Microwave doesn’t have option to make hit snack. What do I do?
Is that goal still in the quest?
I have the same problem. I’m done with the watermelons and now I’m trying to make a hot snack using microwave but it does not have hot snack option. and the goal in the quest is make a hot snack using microwave. I really appreciate ur help! Thx
Yeah the makers have made a bit of a mistake on this, they have removed all options from a microwave apart from cooking and seem to have forget about the goal in this quest, I will let them know about this and hopefully they will add it back or change the goal
When i try to make a hot snack with the microwave, all see is a “cooking” option. When I tap it, the pop up says “Cooking is a little too hot for your sims to handle! Complete the ‘Bread Winner’ Quest available at level 7 to unlock the ‘Cooking; hobby and become a savior of flavor!”
I am on level 13. what should I do?

That goal is still in the quest. However I’m level 25 and have to make a hot snack in the microwave. Yet, it doesn’t matter which microwave I choose I can’t make a hot snack. The option doesn’t appear. Only cooking which I can’t do yet because I need to complete this quest to unlock the bread winner quest. Can anyone helpt?

I have a microwave and I am on level 15 but each time I try to cook something in my microwave all the options are unavailable and say some something about stars 1 and stuff????
Have you got an oven in that house?
(Money grows on trees quest) I have completed the quest & am able to plant Simoleons sprouts, but the LP lotus has disappeared from the garden patch. Is there a way I can get it back or is it gone forever? Thanks for any help.
Strange, I don’t know why, I still have it on my garden plots!
Hi I grow watermelons but I can’t find the ‘hot snack’ option on microwave also how do I carry the watermelon to the microwave? I tried the coffee machine as well but I can’t find the ‘coffee melon’ option. Please help. 🙂
The hot snack option is no longer avaliable, the goal should automatically skip when it appears if you get the goal at all now 🙂
Co trzeba zrobić na samym początku misji?
What quest are you on?
Can I start watching the documentary before I get the quest and can I watch it before I get the task to watch a documentary.
Thanks
P.S.
Sorry if my English is not that good, English is not my first language
Yes you can, just stay away from that house until you get the task
I just restarted my game as I missed out on the elevators and escalators pack, and I didn’t get the hot snack in microwave task this time round, it just went straight to the simoleon sprout.
PS. I have never commented before but have used your blog for ages to get ahead on quests by starting tasks early. Love it, thank you, you are great!

The post has been updated now, is that the only difference?
You’re welcome! I’m glad it helps and thank you!
Only difference I noticed yes. I have to be careful not to accidentally grow the simoleon sprout now! I am saving up simoleons before I start the quests that have time limits!
Thanks, yes that’s a good idea!
Where do i find the goals to finish a quest? Im on level 8 and have yet to finish the 2nd quest
This is the list of goals for this quest. Have you finished love is in the air?
Y isn’t my lotus plant working?
Maybe because it costs real money, you may have a setting on your game that stops in app purchases.
What dose the plundering chair look like bed I can’t find it
To ponder in a chair, just click on a chair and click ponder, there isn’t a special ponder chair you need to use
If you pay for the life point lotus, is it unlocked permently or do you have to pay again?
You have to pay again.
I got to the simulation sprout it frozen just on the roulette and deleted the game and played again it yet again was frozen with the simulation sprout. Not sure what’s going on?
I don’t know why it keeps freezing, maybe you should contact EA to see if they can help
What should i do? Whenever i tap microwave, cooking option is the only option that i see. And when i tap cooking, it says that, “cooking is a little too hot for your sims to handle just yet! Complete the bread winner quest available at level 7 to unlock the cooking’ hobby and become a savior of flavor” so, i’ll skip this money grows on tree quest? And do the bread winner quest? Huhu what should i do?
you can’t skip a quest, you have to complete this one first.
I completed the watermelon growing but can’t find the Simoleon Sprout. It didn’t appear Shawn I clicked in the garden plot after I collected my watermelon
I think you should contact EA about this problem, it seems to be quite common so the more people that tell them, the more likely they are to fix it.
i’m in level 39 and i want to complete this quest but i don’t get the option “hot snack” and it doesnt tell me what should i do
this goal should no longer be in the quest
you should contact EA about this problem
Money on trees is the 2nd quest, yet says I have bread winner queued. I don’t understand this. It won’t allow me to do the money quest bc of the bread tasks being queued. Plz help. I deleted my 1st game bc of this problem, started over and it’s doing it again
Are you on the money grows on trees quest?
A quest in the queue just means that it is waiting until you have completed previous quests (so money grows on trees) before you can do the ones that are in your queue.
I did EVERYTHING that I was supposed to do. I attempted EVERYTHING twice and I still do not see the option to grow the Sim plant.!!!
I think you should contact EA about this problem, it seems to be quite common so the more people that tell them, the more likely they are to fix it.
I’ve done everything but plant the simoleon sprout, and it’s not available in my garden plot. Why??
I think you should contact EA about this problem, it seems to be quite common so the more people that tell them, the more likely they are to fix it.
I don’t have option to pick sprouts. I’ve done all the others on the list. Any help or advice?

Where is the simoleon sprout? I only have the watermelon and that’s it
have you completed this quest yet? if not you won’t have the simoleon sprout yet, its not watermelon, its called simoleon sprout.
I’m just starting the game, and in this quest, the very first task is to grow carrots. I’m using an android tablet. 🙂
thanks, updated
Just reset my game to do everything again with what I know. (I was level 34 and not happy with my town) The “money grows on trees” now starts with grow carrots 5 minutes. Then watch documenty 54 mins.
So I take it ponder is no longer in the quest then?
