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 8 before you can start this quest
Can I complete this quest even though I have passed level 8?
Yes, you just need to complete all previous quests then this quest will start automatically
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
I can’t afford the children’s store, how can I earn more simoleons?
This post may help
Can I build the children’s store early?
No, you cannot build the children’s store until you get the goal in this quest
How many babies can a couple have?
They can have 2 children as only 4 sims can live in a house at one time
How do babies go to the toilet?
They will go in their diaper when they are ready, then you can change their diaper to increase their hygiene
What do I get if I complete this quest in the time limit?
The baby decoration pack
What happens if I don’t complete in the time limit, can I still finish this quest?
Yes you have to finish it to be able to add babies to your town 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
The next quest is the Ocean View Estate which unlocks the premium residences so you can build bigger houses!

OMG!! thank u so so so much :D!!!
no problem 😀
Can u post a picture of stack of magazines… I cant find it….
In this post: https://thegirlwhogames.wordpress.com/2014/04/14/the-sims-freeplay-where-can-i-find/
You will see a picture of the living room section, the mags are the first item you can see and costs 600 simoleons 🙂
I bout the mags. And I don’t see anything for three hours better farms and cradle option, I am in leavel 10 already,
Have you received that goal? You need to get the goal before you do this task
What walls and floor do I buy to equal $450
It depends on the size of the room, you will see when you click on a room how much it is going to cost to decorate that room so you will have to work it out like that
You can do 1 room for 350 and another for 200 it has to add up to or passed 450
Just buy tge pink wall cloud wall paper
I am getting started on this quest and planning out how much time and money I need for each task. Can someone please please please tell me how much the store averages and how long it takes to build? I don’t have many Lifestyle points to speed things up.
There is no average, it depends on how many other buildings you have- if you have loads its going to cost more, if you have only a few it will cost less.
Hi okay this is sorta embarrassing so I did this quest on time and I should of got the stuff but I didn’t or I don’t know if I’m checking well but I’ve checked my inventory and its not there where else can I check for it if you can help me with that that’d be great thanks 🙂
They aren’t in your inventory as you just unlock them, you still have to buy them, they will be in the baby section and wall and floor sections, the pictures are the bottom of the post show this.

Yes, but don’t complete the hibernation before you receive the goal to hibernate or it won’t work
When I try reading the magazines it shows the blue foot prints , why is that ?
This post should help: https://thegirlwhogames.wordpress.com/2014/01/12/the-sims-freeplay-blue-footprints-and-red-crosses/ 🙂
Can gay or lesbian couples complete the Two and a half Sims quest?
Probably 🙂 they can have babies!
How do I read the magazine’s on farms and cradle if my magazine’s say celebrity gossip, science, house garden and Llmas, and music
Have you got the goal yet? You need to wait for the goal to appear before you can get this option
Köszönöm sokat segített! Már van egy baby is.:)
nincs probléma 😀

Plz REPLY!!!

Thxxx
Your really nice to answer all these questions, and do these tutorials. I for one have lost to many sleep for these quest. 😂😅
Oh don’t lose sleep over it! 😛
Hi, Im on the baby quest. Im building the children’s store but I only have one minute left, and the children’s store has 7 hours on it. What happens if I fail to get a baby sim? Or my question is would I have another chance to get a baby sim if I fail?
You can still complete the quest once the time is up, you just won’t get the prize.
My sims keep saying no when I try to get them to read the better farms and cribs magazine. What am I doing wrong?
They need to be able to access the magazine, try moving it somewhere else
Why i cant build the children’s store? Im lvl 13 and i have 13 sims.
The icon for the childrens store is blinking.
but i cant build it.? help plss.
This is a technical issue, but it may have been fixed with the latest update
Can I start hibernate earlier – before the goal is active?
Yes 🙂
I’m stuck on this quest, I have the option to propose with like three couples, and the game gave me the most expensive ring. For some reason every other ring is grey except for the most expensive which says free, but everytime I click on it the sim shakes his head and says I need more lp points, yet it says the ring is free???!?!? Help!!!!
Does it actually say free? Or does it say 10LPs? As they used to give you the 10Lps to buy the ring but they may have changed this so you have to buy it yourself now
I was on sims freeplay and i did the marriage quest and everything that was asked, i tryed clicking the childrens store to build and it will not allow me to do so,and right now i pass lvl 8 im on lvl 11 right now and it still will not allow me to build the childrens store,so do you have any suggestions or ways i can change this problem such as building the store.
I think this is a glitch as lots of people have told me about this, have you got the new update yet? If not I would update your game as they may have fixed it 🙂
I’m on the bread quest…. Level thingy ( leveal 8) but I’m have a really hard time with money I never have enough to buy what I need!! Is anyone eles havering the same problem or is it just me!??!?! Have I screwed up the game or something?!?! Someone just plz help me
https://thegirlwhogames.wordpress.com/2014/08/05/the-sims-freeplay-bread-winner-quest/ the quest can be found here.
Thats what happens when you start the game, as you increase through the levels you make more money by gardening, baking and going to work so don’t panic, there is no time limit on this quest so just take this time to save up some money.
Cant find the magazine stack after the latest updates, so i cant do a quest, what should i do?
I can still see the magazines, they are the first thing in the living room section

Yes I think so
You need a table put it on
Where do you find the crib
In the children’s store you have just built
I’m most of the way through this quest- just wondering how much the crib costs?
I’ve been trying to make sure my other Sims are having everything prepared for the next step of the quest -(e.g. farming/working to make the simoleons to buy the products etc) your lists are SO helpful!! Thanks!!
6,000 or 5LPs are the cheapest 🙂

You should be on a quest right now, does it say you have 3 tasks just above your sims needs bar? If so then you are on a quest right now
Hi! The hibernating task has now changed to deep sleep, which I believe is a 6 and 1/2 hour task on a three star bed. Thought you’d like to know about the change 🙂 Cheers!
thanks but is that the only change? because I don’t want to update it if other things are still going to be different 🙂
I’m currently doing this quest, and I’m building the children’s store at the moment, from what I’ve experienced nothing else has changed so far 😀
As an added note, do you know if I can buy the crib early?
Thank you 🙂
No don’t buy the crib early, it won’t count

Is it worth it to use LPs to finish this quest on time?
You could, I think the prize is worth it 🙂
How do you get the magazines ?
From the Living room section
I was going to start building the children’s store to save time (the costume + swim store took 1 day to build so I thought that this one might take 2) but it isn’t unlocked yet? Why is this?
You can’t build the children’s store until you get the goal to do so
Does the time for adding baby differs for different cribs??
nope it is always 1 day
If I don’t complete the quest in time, will the other quests after still unlock?
yes, you just won’t get the prize, you can still complete the quest
