You will also be able to complete the Woodworking hobby using the benches at the community center

Time Limited Prize: Elevators and Escalators
Is the prize worth it? Yes, there are some really nice elevators and escalators available but you do have to buy them, it also is quite tricky to complete the quest within the time limit especially if it takes you ages to save up and build the community center.
Where can I find them? In the stairs section of the home store.

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 17 before you can start this quest
Can I complete this quest even though I have passed level 17?
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 afford the community center, how can I earn more simoleons?
This post may help
The game says I have to complete the multi story renovations quest to be able to build the community center, what is the problem?
There is no problem, you have to start the multi story quest and the first goal is to build the community center so you cannot build it until you get that first goal in the quest
How do I send my sim to the community center?
Go to the community center and click on the whistle next to a sim who isn’t busy on the simtracker, this post explains more about the simtracker
I don’t understand what you mean when you say you can do both call the home store/ hotline goals at once to save time?
This goal appears twice so it is like being able to start a goal early that you have access to (read the question below if you don’t understand this) to do this you need two sims and two different houses:
1- When you get the goal to call home store you can set sim 1 to do the task
2- In a different house which you need to stay away from until you get the second goal you can have sim 2 also do the task
3- When sim 1 is done you complete the goal the first time
4- Wait until you get the goal again to call home store and you can go to sim 2 to complete it straight away!
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
Does it matter if the banana bread burns? Will the goal still complete?
The goal will still complete even if it causes a fire
I crafted the 1st set of woodworking items before I got the task to, my game now won’t complete the goal, what should I do?
You will need to find the next 3 items in the second row to complete this goal
What do I get if I complete this quest in the time limit?
Elevators and escalators
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 ability to add up to 5 floors to your houses as well as unlocking stairs and firepoles 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
I completed the quest but I cannot place stairs, why?
Firstly make sure you have rooms upstairs and also give this post a read, it explains how to add stairs to a house
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 Teenagers so you can age your preteens to teenagers!

how many stories(floors) can you build after this? Can we build like… 10-11 floors? Or just 2 floors?
It says in the post, 5.
I’m wondering if I finish the quest on time do I get free stairs pack or I’ll have to pay for it and if it’s that I’ll have to pay for it. What am I now gaining from finishing early?
It has been a while since I completed this quest but I don’t think you get any of the stairs for free once the quest is complete. Completing it in the time limit unlocks the Elevators and Escalators. Scroll down to the bottom of this post to see pictures of the prizes.
Hi! This really helped me a lot. It was the first time I did a quest on time. This blog is very helpful.
I’m glad it helps!
I love this game the sim freeplay, i’m new and my level still 29. Thank you all of your post about the quest in this game helped me alot. Whats your level?
You’re welcome! I’m glad they help! I am on level 53 🙂
You play in iphone or android? I need neighboor with high level, if you connect with facebook in this game can i add you as a friend?
Sorry, I don’t have a facebook account, I do have a Google+ if you play on android and connect to Google Play Games.
Is it still 6 day time limit for version two??
Yes.
I made the banana bread but it burned and it didnt complete the task, i did start it early but i didnt click on it until the task came up..gotta wait another 20 hours now
You needed to stay away from this house until you get the task as it doesn’t complete when you click on it, it completes as soon as you arrive at the house when you finish baking
The elevator only works on 2 floors?
You can only use the elevator to get to the floor above, so if you have more than 2 floors to your house and have an elevator on the ground floor you will need another elevator on the second floor to be able to reach the third floor and so on.
ok so you did explain my question again but i still don’t understand it. what is the thing about the hotline and 2 sims??? and it doesn’t take 9 hours for my to do it, it now takes 11.
It will take you longer because you aren’t using the most expensive 3 star phone, if you use a phone with a lower star rating actions take longer to complete.
To complete this task all you need to do is send sim 1 to house 1 and sim 2 to house 2 on their own when you get this task and put them both on to call the hotline using the phone now stay away from house 2. Once sim 1 has completed the task go to them to complete it but still stay away from house 2, once you get this task for the second time you can then go straight to house 2 and complete it without having to wait.
I already own a globe, can I plot world domination early?
Plot world domination isn’t a goal in this quest.
Ouch, I started building City Center only when quest appeared, guess I’m waaaay behind already 🙈
Oh no!
Can the preteens start the karate and ballet hobby once you build the community center?
Yes they can.
What can I do if I built the competition center early? It isn’t registering that it’s built.
You don’t need to build the competition center for this quest, you have to build the community center, if you are unsure where it is you can find it on this post: https://thegirlwhogames.blog/2014/06/26/the-sims-freeplay-town-map/
Hi, I was wondering, after you complete this quest, is the first house with the second floor free? (I mean is the second floor free for the first house?)
No it isn’t free.
I started playing SIMS several months ago and your blog has been my go to for all things SIMS Freeplay related. Thanks for all you do. Hopefully you can help me with my problem.
I finished peaceful patios several days ago but I still have not been prompted to start this quest. Bree is in the park but when I select her it is the Lovey-Dovey Balcony and of course I can’t do this one because I can’t build a second floor on any house which is a requirement. Any idea what my problem may be?
Thanks
You’re welcome!
The patio one was a discovery quest but the multi story renovations is a main quest and main quests have to be completed in the order they appear in this post: https://thegirlwhogames.blog/2014/02/11/the-sims-freeplay-main-quests/ once you have completed all the main quests before this one the pop up to start this quest will appear.
You know when deleting a storey, does it give u all your money back? Or the amount divided by 10?
Nice blog! Really helps me. I am stuck on seniors and I can’t seem to be able to get bingo hall, I saved up enough, but it says competition centre is under construction, and when I go there ITS NOT EVEN BUILDING! Any help with this?
No you do not get any money back when you delete a floor.
Are you sure the competition center isn’t being built? A lot of people get the community center and the competition center mixed up so check out this post to find out where it is: https://thegirlwhogames.blog/2014/06/26/the-sims-freeplay-town-map/
I know you kind of answered this question- but if I already have a sim working on the woodworking hobby before this quest starts, will I just end up needing to finish off any row of the woodworking items? Like will it work if it’s the third or fourth row of items? Thanks!
Any row will complete this but it is unlikely that you will get this in your quest as most players get version two these days and that goal isn’t in version two
I’m on level 24 . And I think I missed the quest “multi story renovation quest” . I want to build the community centre too but it requires to complete the following quest. But I missed that quest!! What should I don now??
You cannot miss main quests, they start automatically when you can complete them so you must be on a previous quest at the moment, that will need to be completed first and any other quests that come before this one as main quests have to be completed in order, this post shows you the order they have to be completed in: https://thegirlwhogames.blog/2014/02/11/the-sims-freeplay-main-quests/
Is there a way to delete only part of your second floor? I want to make a patio on my second floor and don’t want my second floor to be as big as my first floor. Thanks in advance!
You can’t make patios on your second floor but you will be able to turn that empty space into a balcony, as long as you don’t have a room in the way and you have completed the lovey-dovey balcony quest: https://thegirlwhogames.blog/2015/05/11/the-sims-freeplay-diy-homes-lovey-dovey-balcony-quest/ you will be able to build a balcony.
Thank you!
I am confused. How can I complete the multi story quest by sending a sim to the community center if I do not have a community center and to build a community center, I have to have completed the multi story quest.
Someone tried to ask you this before but you did not provide an answer that made sense.
I do not have a community center. It says to build a community center, I must have completed the multi story quest. However, I cannot start the quest until the community center is built, which I cannot even start.
Please help.
The first task is to build the community center so once you have completed this task you will be able send your sims there. You cannot start building the community center until you get the task to build it in this quest. You will be able to start this quest once you have completed all the previous main quests.
If i finish the quest in time to unlock the lifts and escalators, do they stay in the shop forever or do they leave the shop after a while?
Thanks so much for your guides, they’re so handy!!
Kian
They will be available forever
You’re welcome!
I completed the quest before time was time up, and I noticed i got the ritzy elevator free. Is that of the prize or is that new?
That elevator is one of the prizes you win if you complete this quest in the time limit
In the past I buy one of the architect homes and try to remove the second floor, but I can’t, it’s like the game is not allowing it. Do I have to finish this quest to delete/sell the second floor?
Yes you need to complete this quest first.
Does this quest give access to the basement???
No the basement of kings quest unlocks basements: https://thegirlwhogames.blog/2015/05/25/the-sims-freeplay-diy-homes-basement-of-kings-quest/
I tried to call the hotline early, but it is not an option. Options are: adopt toddler/preteen, quick chat, on hold for tech support, call a friend, and call mom.
You can only start the second call the hotline early, once you get it for the first time you can put two sims on and then stay away from one house until you get the goal for the second time.
Is the max number of sims still 4 even in multi story houses?
Yes only 4 sims can live in a house even if it is a multi story.
