Read this post if you want to know more about Life Dreams and Legacies
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
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
Pizza is locked, how do I cook it?
Your sim needs to be level 2 at cooking and have a microwave at that house
How do I give pizza to another sim?
Just click on a sim and select give pizza
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
How do I place an easel in my house once I have brought it from the promotions r us store?
You can find it in your inventory under career and hobby items
I don’t get the option to draw out a chess game, why?
Are you using an adult sim and the chess board in the park?
Do I need two sims to draw out a chess game?
No, you only need one
Why don’t I have the option to high five another sim?
Your sims need to be friends to get this option
I don’t have a car or the car dealership built yet, can I get a car without it?
Yes you can build a house that comes with a car, these can be found in my House Guides Part One and Part Two
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 I get if I complete this quest in the time limit?
A teddy bear
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 quilting 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
The next quest, Life Dreams and Legacies introduces us to personalities, orbs, automatic ageing and death!
NOTE: if you don’t want them to die then do not finish the in stitches quest

When you say you can start early for tasks can you start and finish those tasks before it asks you like 5 tasks prior?
You can start them early but you have to stay away from the house and the sim completing that action until you get the goal otherwise you will have to start again: https://thegirlwhogames.wordpress.com/2014/11/11/the-sims-freeplay-starting-goals-early/
Do you have to use two or one sims for the long drawn out chess game? I currently have two doing the task but I’d rather use the sim for something else if you only need one
I think you can just use one but it has been a while since I completed this quest!
If I complete the “In Stitches” quest will all of my sims die? Or only the sim that is doing the quest..
NEED TO KNOW ASAP!!!
All of your sims will start to age and die when you start the life dreams quest.
If I finish this quest and I move on to life, dreams and legacies will it still automatically age my sims even if I don’t finish that quest?
Yes
No!! I wanted to get each married couple a child and have them all be teenagers before my sims started automatically aging!!! Will there be time in the preteen and teenager automatic life stages to have them go to school every day and get their grade average up to an A???
There should be enough time to send them to school each day and get their grades up but it depends how many other tasks you make them do so if you just send them to school everyday they will stay at that age long enough to reach A grade but if you make them go to school each day and then sleep each night they will age quicker as the more actions they do the quicker they age.
Can the chess game be started early?
No it can’t, it would say (can be started early) next to it if it could.
In drive to quilt fair can I go to a neighbor’s town and use their car instead of buying the car dealer?
No, you need to have a car in your town as all main quest goals have to be completed in your town.
How much is it for the teady bear for the in stitches quest
It shows you in the post S2,800
So what happeneds after all this after all the quests are complete what happeneds to my game can I go forward and still play all my winnings and stuff I bought I been wanted and waiting for someone to answer me because I went so far into getting a lot of this stuff and time and money so I hope I can still play my game has anyone have any idea how this works. Please let me know
Once you complete all the main quests there is still so much in the game to do, it doesn’t end after the main quests are complete. You still have discovery quests and time limited events each update as well as creating amazing houses and much more!
I’m currently on the senior quest, doing the fishaton, and i realize i want to finish some of the hobby (ones that takes a long time to complete, like woodworking) first before i want to let my sims age and die. Which one do you think is better to give up finishing on time, the senior quest, bird feeding, or the in stitches? What prize is most useful between the three?
I would recommend completing the seniors quest in time to get the exercise bike and then you could pause on the bird feeding quest as you win a bird in a cage, once you complete the bird feeding quest you also unlock a bird in a cage so you aren’t really missing out on that time limited prize.
Hi, I completed this quest before I found your blog. I have been playing for a long time on and off now. So if I understand this quest correctly, I completed it therefore my sims will now age and die? I did not complete it in the time limit to win the prize, I typically don’t. But now I’m a bit annoyed to learn that my Sims could be aging and dying when this quest never mentioned that at all. Otherwise, I’d build a time machine and reverse this action. Do they start aging when I tell them to pee or cook? Or fill the bowl?
I haven’t started the Life Dreams Legacy Quest. I probably won’t for a while now. I got schools to build and house-holds to support along with a movie set I’m trying to build up; not to mention a crumbling police department…sigh.
Unfortunately your sims will now age and die yet but there has been an update, once your sims reach the end of a life stage it asks you if you want to age them and the no option now is free instead of costing LPs: https://thegirlwhogames.blog/2017/02/25/the-sims-freeplay-ageing-update/ so you can keep reversing them if you don’t want them to age.
Every action they complete causes them to age slightly, it depends how long the action it is as the longer the action the more they age, if you are still unsure about life dreams and how it all works check out this post for more information: https://thegirlwhogames.blog/2016/02/27/the-sims-freeplay-life-dreams-and-legacies-faqs/
I’ve just purchased an architect home and it contains a quilting kit. I do NOT want my sims to age, and never completed the in stitches quest. Will owning the quilting kit interfere with the aging of my sims?
No it won’t, you would have to purchase one from the promotions r us store to complete the quest
Can seniors use the quilting kit purchased from an architect home though? I want to buy an architect home just to get the quilting kit because I can’t get it any other way- won’t be completing the seniors quest. I dont think the quilting hobby is unlocked since haven’t completed In Stiches Quest.
I think you would need to complete the quest to be able to use it
Wow… didn’t even do the In stitches Quest, yet my game processed to Life dreams and legacies….. In one night. What’s happening….
😡
How strange, you definitely didn’t finish the In Stitches quest?
Do I have to use a Senior Sim to complete this quest? I didn’t need one for the Bird Feeding which I’m almost done with so I haven’t aged my Sim yet. They’ve been busy with the live event.
No this quest can be completed with an adult sim
Hi, thanks for everything your upload on the blog!
I recently found out that my friend in Canada only needs XP to level up, while for me in France, I need XP + complete a progression quest + complete a discovery quest + construct a building + add a sim, in order to level up!
From reading this article, I assume that your version of the game doesn’t require you to finish a progression quest to level up, right? Otherwise, how can you NOT finish a quest ? Won’t it just stay there and keep you from starting a totally different progression quest?
Thank you!
The need to complete loads of things before levelling up is fairly new so older players don’t have this.
Personally I would just finish this quest, it is possible now to reverse a sim to the beginning of the life stage for free so they no longer have to die.
Why is my Sims cars disappearing when doing the drive to the quilt fair?. ( Three of my cars are now missing)
This happens when completing this task, you will be able to see them again once the task is complete.
