FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS QUEST

Can I complete this quest even though I have passed level 9?
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
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
I have played the sims on a computer but it doesn’t complete the goal, why?
Are you sure you are playing the sims, not sim city?
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.
How do I send my sim to the park?
Go to the park and click on the whistle next to a sim who isn’t busy on the simtracker,this post explains more about the simtracker
I can’t afford the real estate agency, how can I earn more simoleons?
This post may help
Can I build the real estate agency early?
No, you cannot build the real estate agency until you get the goal in this quest
How do I give my sim a job?
Give this post a read

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 Mysterious Island which unlocks the island and monuments

Hi, I’m on the have a sim dance to a stereo last quest, however I did not see any button for this quest, even thou I already made them a dance .. still cant.. I believe the quest has already due date. how do I go abt it?
Even if the time is up you should still be able to complete the quest, if the quest has gone from your queue and you didn’t finish it you will have to contact EA so they can fix this issue for you
How can my sim go to the park?
make sure the sim isn’t busy, then go to the park, click on the simtracker and find the sim who isn’t busy, click on the whistle next to their picture to bring them to the park
Baking the pumpkin pie doesn’t seem to be part of this quest anymore, unless it come after building the real restate office (still working on it).
Thanks, I’ve updated the post
how can I complete the quest “have a sim dance to a stereo” ??..Should I have to buy the speaker..? sorry my bad english..
you need to buy a stereo from the electronics section of buy mode to complete this goal
I’m suppose to have a good Sims account but then my phone is broken and then I have to fix it. After its fixed, I have to download Sims again and I have to redo all those quests. 😭😭😭
Could you not download your saved data from the cloud?
Hi I didn’t finish the quest in time and I don’t have it in my queue and I don’t know if I can do the next quest. Can I do the next one even if I didn’t finish
This quest won’t be in your queue if you have already started it, it will be in your active tasks. Once the time limit is up you just continue the quest where you got to but you won’t be able to start the next quest until this one is complete so click on active tasks (just above your sims needs bar) and you can find out which goal you are on.
I’m currently trying to play catch up to myself after re-starting the game due to a glitch, so thought I’d pop on over here to see if there were any of the large tasks I could start in preparation for this quest. As I’m scanning the list, to my utmost delight, I realise that I’ve already passed the pumpkin pie as it isn’t included in this quest any more. Well that were nice. 😀
Love your blog, I frequent it often and have passed the link to my other simming buddies, the game is actually made more enjoyable due to your posts. Thank you for sharing your knowledge! xx
Hi! I just finished this quest, looking around in the LP section for the Beachside Escape, but could not find it. I found it in the Simoleons section. It is 150.000 Simoleons now.
BTW: Thanks for your help!
It already says it costs simoloens
They took ‘play the Sims on a computer’ out of the quest (or at least they did in the second version)
thanks, I’ve updated the post
How do I do a fake auction for ducks? I don’t have an auction podium? Where can I buy one?
Click on the ducks in the park to get the option
I’m now lv 10 but never seen this quest -.-
You have to complete previous quests first
Is it possible to reset the timer for any of these quests? I started this quest but was unable to play for a while and my timer expired.
No sorry, it isn’t
where is streo
you can buy one from the electronics section of buy mode.
I bought the house from this quest, and idk what happened. I was supposed to keep the items from the boy’s room in my inventory so I could put the crib in first for the baby. But when I looked back to see the items, it was gone. *sigh* What do I do? Can this be undone?
You aren’t the only person I have heard with this problem and it sounds like a glitch, you will need to contact EA about this issue to see if they can fix it for you as unfortunately I am unable to fix technical issues
Why are there 2 versions? Is one like iOS and the other android? Plz respond as I am planning this out.
Because they have updated the game on some devices and not others but I don’t think it is separated into android and apple versions.
Hey I competed this competed quest but it won’t give me another one?
you have to reach level 10 to unlock the next quest.
I thought that since I finished the quest in that time, it’d give me a free house? Because I don’t have enough of anything to buy a house… don’t really see the prize.
No, it isn’t free, like it says in the post it costs simoleons.
I just wanted to note that when doing this on my android phone, my quest was the second one however the fake auction took 2 minutes and I didn’t need to feed the ducks at all. I’m not sure about the rest since I am now building the real estate thing☺
Thanks for the update 🙂
After I finished this quest I built a big residence on the island except instead of a shore with water, it was just mud and no ocean view. Is it because I did not complete it in time? If that’s the case, is there a way to get the beach view even though the quest is over
Houses you build on the island don’t have the ocean view, only the houses in sim town do
If i buy one of the ocean view residences will I get a car? Btw, you’re great
It depends what one you buy, these two posts tell you if a house comes with a car: https://thegirlwhogames.wordpress.com/2013/10/29/the-sims-freeplay-houses-guide-part-one/ and https://thegirlwhogames.wordpress.com/2014/02/14/the-sims-freeplay-house-guide-part-two/
Thanks!

You will not get the beachside escape property but you will be able to build premium houses on the larger house lots.
Hi! why are my ocean view empty lots different from some other players? Like mine is the common one with white-pink surrounding walls by the seaside everytime whilst the others I see they have those something like in a forest with dirtpaths. The roads are different and their walls too. And theres also this particular exterior wall, the yellowish white bricks like of a castle? I don’t have that one. What does that mean?
It depends what house you are building, most come with the normal walls but some of them have different styles, a few of the different ones can be found in these two posts: https://thegirlwhogames.wordpress.com/2013/10/29/the-sims-freeplay-houses-guide-part-one/ and https://thegirlwhogames.wordpress.com/2014/02/14/the-sims-freeplay-house-guide-part-two/
I did not complete my quest on time..And now I cant go ahead.. What to do?
You still have to finish the quest before you move on, even if it isn’t in time.
I did the quest in time, and gained the option to build the Beachside Escape, but it won’t let me build the first one for free. It just gives me the price, no other words or numbers. Why is this?
Try restarting your device and see if it works this time.
Is the beachside escape worth it and after the first one how much does it cost
Love your blog BTW😁
I personally think it is worth it, this quest isn’t difficult to complete in the time limit anyway. But you can see for yourself, pictures of the house can be found in this post: https://thegirlwhogames.wordpress.com/2013/10/29/the-sims-freeplay-houses-guide-part-one/
The cost depends on how many houses you have already built as the price increases each time you build a new house.
Thanks!
Is it possible to complete this quest within the time limit without using LPs to hurry up tasks? (I’m doing version 2.)
Without the time taken to build the real estate agency the rest of the goals should take 14 hours 8 minutes 7 seconds so there should be plenty of time
If I place the free house, does it make the prices of the other houses go up? If I choose to build another house first, will I lose the free house?
The price for the other houses will increase once you build the free house but if you don’t choose to build it straight away it will still be free once you get around to building it.
Thank you!
You’re welcome!
Please how can I buildor place outdoor items on the beach beyond my fence.
I’ve been seeing quite a number of simmers playing in the beach beyond their fence.
Second question please: Can we now build rooms on balconies? That’s something else that I’ve been seeing. An entire deck of rooms build on a balcony hanging over a swimming pool.
If these aren’t glitches, Please I would like to know how it’s done.Thank you
The first one isn’t a glitch but it is a cheat, you cannot build outside of the area without cheating and I do not recommend that.
You can’t build rooms on balconies but you can place balconies around rooms, build the rooms were you want them then add the balcony around the rooms to create this.
Is building the real estate agency one of the workplaces where the time is fixed? I hope it is because I don’t want it to take 16 hours since I’ve built 4 workplaces.
It should be but I can’t remember for sure, it has been a while since I completed this quest!
Hi!
I’mdoing this quest, but I want to relocate my Sim family to the Ocean View house? Is there a way to relocate thewhole family without the parents getting a divorce and less Simoleons?
The only way to relocate the whole family will cost you 8,000 simoleons, to do this you click on the empty ocean view house and one of the options is relocate household, click this and select the family you want to move, my video here explains this in more details if you are still unsure: https://youtu.be/G8QoDCU5rYE
Ok, I have enough for that. Thanks!
You’re welcome!
hi, i didnt have enough time to complete the ocen quest, is there any way wear i can re do (even if i have to do all the quests before) it or is it impossible to do it now???
The only way would be if you restarted your whole game and I wouldn’t recommend that
also have the same situation. I clicked on the empty plot, find the house and click on it (55 LP) It asked me if I want to buy it. I agree and it said I need more LP( I only have 13). When I finished the quest, it still have about 1 hour left. It also said that I got a beachside escape. IDK what to do
This sounds like a glitch to me, I would suggest you contact the makers to see if they can fix this issue for you, this post explains how to contact them if you are unsure: https://thegirlwhogames.blog/2016/05/29/the-sims-freeplay-contacting-ea-firemonkeys/
