How do I practice brushing another sim?
Select the interaction between two sims
My game says there is something under construction when I try to repair a stable, what do I do?
Firstly you need to read the pop up as it tells you exactly what is under construction, once you have go there and click on it to finish building, then you will be able to repair the stable (it will be something you have built previously but probably just haven’t clicked to finish building yet!)

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

This post may help: https://thegirlwhogames.wordpress.com/2014/02/27/the-sims-freeplay-15-ways-to-make-money-and-lps/
Hi,weightless magic I need to ask you something it’s that I need to post a quest on this site it’s the red aids update can you help me to upload it? Please please help me out !!😣😣😣😣
The post is already on this website: https://thegirlwhogames.wordpress.com/2014/11/24/the-sims-freeplay-the-red-flowers-of-sim-town-quest/

Why i cant see the Quest i Finished the Lost Artifacts And im lvl 11
Darn
You’re device may no longer be updated with the newest content or you haven’t updated recently
Did you build the sorceous suplies? Because if you did maybe you are on the book of spells quest 🙂
Stupid quest hate it !! Ugh 100,000 simeleons for nothing I would have buyer sorcerer shop instead !!!! 😦
For some reason the spot horses with telescope task skipped for me and went straight to go to mysterious Island task. Is this something I should worry about?
No, it’s just a good glitch!
Not relevant to the quest, but can you put wallpaper and flooring in your inventory?
No you can’t
Also, is the Halloween update only for Halloween?
If yes, after Halloween is everything going to be back to normal? For example is it going to be turbo snack again?
No it won’t go back to turbo snack unless they change it in the next update, unless it says limited time then it should be here past Halloween
I`m askng because one of my sims is moving houses and I have this beautiful wallpaper but now I can only by it when I`m level 39 and now it costs 240S!
Those changes will stay after the update, I know its annoying they have changed when things unlock, I don’t really see the point in that change!
Do you get money from the painting if you sell it and how much would you get
Only 100 I think
I finished the quest 4 hours bfore the time limit but why i nver get the free painting?
Its not free, it costs 10,000 and is in the decoration section
Heyy, do you know what happens when your finish all the quests? Do you like play all of them again or that’s it, you’re done?
You don’t play them all again, you spend time building houses and other places until they update the game again and give us more quests to complete!
Is the price you get for the toddler quest better than this one? I`m asking because I know that it`s going to cost me 100,000S to build the pet store, and I only have 22,633S, so I want to get anough money for the pet store, but if I save up the money while I am on this quest I won`t complete this quest in time 😦 So which price in your opinion is better?
Prize I mean
Yes the toddler quest prize is so much better!
Ok, I guess I will stay on this quest until I have 100,000S 🙂 Thanks for your help 🙂
Good idea! You’re welcome!
=D
Is the next update going to be the christmas update? If yes when will the christmas update be? 🙂
Probably and I have no idea! I just play the game like you, I don’t work for the company
how to contact ea if I cant clean the stables in the need for steed quests? I’ve been trying and nothing will work
Try this link: http://help.ea.com/en/contact-us/new/
I’m having the same problem and getting no response. Very frustrating as I can’t get further in my quests due to not being able to remove rubbish
Sorry there isn’t much I can do as this is a technical issue
Heh this quest really set me back. I’m still working on it and I’m half through level 14. Don’t procrastinate if you don’t already have Promotions r us. Believe me.
Can I use more than 4 sims to clean
The yard? On the quest it says to use 4 sims to clean, but I really want to speed it up.
Yes you can have up to 10 there
Hi i have reached level 11 need for speed quest and i still cant do the cleaning up mes woth 4 sims .. I have tried many times but still can you hepk me pls ?? Cause its getting annoyed
What can’t you do?
You can have 10 sims there at a time to clean the mess, you need to click on all the items in that area that you opened and remove them, you also need to repair the bathtub
My task is to feed the horse but the only option I have is rename
Do you have a sim at the stables?
How do you get a sim to the stables?
Go to the stables, click on the whistle next to a sim who isn’t busy and they will go there.
Totally irelivent but I can’t paint in someone else’s yard because they don’t have an easel please help me !!!!!! 😫😫😫😫😫😫😫😫
You need to add someone with an easel or skip the goal with LPs
Mine has skipped a stage and gone straight to clean up mess in yard and it won’t let me, also I can’t spit this stage! HELP ME!!!
Can you not click on the items infront of the area to remove them?
If you demolish a shop does the price go down ?
No it doesn’t
Lol. I wish this game was offline (or at least you can play offline, except if you want to visit a neighbour’s town). And also that you can still play without having to update the game, like The Simpsons Tapped Out. Can you (I mean playing without having to update)? Because I haven’t played that long yet. I’m almost out of memory on my phone and thus can’t update any apps which is upsetting to say the least. And I don’t want to delete all my other games, media files or apps…
Yes you can still play without updating
Phew…thank you. I meant UNLIKE The Simpsons Tapped Out. Because now I can’t play before updating.
Your blog is very helpful so thanks for making it 😀 I know you said not to mention how much simoleons or time is needed to build the stable but I can’t help but say that I feel scammed. To build the stable, they had taken 200k simoleons from which is basically everything I have and it’ll take 45 hours to build. Can you tell me what causes the variations in prices and time?
You’re welcome
If you have lots of other buildings and places in your town it will cost you more than seems reasonable as the price increases each time you build a new place.
Hey! I have The new update, the (red) Sims One. I didn’t do mano questão before, live the house staples one. And i can see it at quests in queue but I can’t do it. Any idea if I will be able to do it later? Cheers!
If a quest is in your queue then yes, you can do it later
I don’t have enough to build the stables and I’m running out of time? What happens if I don’t complete this quest can I still do a quest for toddlers?
You can still complete the quest once the time is up, you just won’t get the prize.
Gosh I only have two more days for limit and lots of stuff take like a day or something I never get to finish a daily limit ….
Its okay the prize isn’t really worth it anyway!
My horses have relocated to a sims home! Has anyone seen this before, and if so what should I do? I don’t see an option to relocate them, and when I try to delete the horses, the app crashes. Do I have to just deal with horses hanging out in the yard now?
I have never heard that glitch before! Maybe you should contact EA to see what they suggest
Same here. I’ve had it for a while and had to buy new horses to the hobbies at the Stables. Did you ever contact EA? If so what did they say?
How Much money is the pet store ?
It depends on how many other businesses you have built
I need 100,000 simoleons for promotion r us store and I guess stable will be MORE expensive, so I am kinda forced to either buy simoleons by real money or just be really patient 😦
Be patient as the prize isn’t that great
Hi,Is the prize really great to get!!! If I don’t finish the quest in time…..ok I know that am not going to receive the prize but If I finish it in level 12 will the next quest will be avaible !!!
P.S: If in level 8 The quest about something like the bookshelf was like about a witch for me it doesn’t came that quest so am asking from the next quests am doing will they be normal!!!
No I don’t think the prize is very good at all, yes as the next quest unlocks at level 12
The book of spells quest only unlocks once you have built the sorcerous supplies store
Hi how can i brush teeth with this quest? Where can i find this? Thanks
It isn’t brush teeth it’s brush hair, so it is an interaction with another sim, get one sim to click on another sim and select the option.
Ignoring building the stable, how long does the entire quest take?
41 hours 52 minutes, but this doesn’t include building the stables or cleaning the stables as I can’t remember what the times are for those.
Hi thank you for making this blog, it’s the BEST.
I have a question : if I spot a horse in another sim town will it count?
Thenk you again.
You’re welcome, Thanks!
You could try and see, I’m not sure if it will work or not, sorry
I tried this as I didn’t have a telescope, and the option is there but it does not clear the task. You need your own telescope.
Thanks!
Can you call the owner before finishing “repair the stable” because it 5 hours long
No you have to wait until you get the goal
I need help how can I get quicker money because I don’t have that much money can other people send money to eachother ?
This post may help: https://thegirlwhogames.wordpress.com/2014/02/27/the-sims-freeplay-15-ways-to-make-money-and-lps/
You can’t send money to other people though
Oh but thanks any way😊
I have this weird glitch and I haven’t used any cheats or anything but time keeps repeating itself in the sims freeplay and keeps on going back to when my sim finish reading the horse care manual. All the things I spend during the time before it reverses go, and the simoleans and LP stay. I’m not sure what to do and if anyone can help please tell me!
it sounds like your game isn’t saving when you close it, try manually saving through the cloud
How do u get the stables? Don’t u get it from the quest?
you unlock the stables in the quest, you have to wait for the goal to build it before you can start building
On The need for steed quest i bought a horse but I can’t feed it? It’s happiness level has stayed the same for around 15 hours?
is this a glitch or..?
have you got a sim at the park to feed it?
happiness takes a while to go down, it decreases faster when doing a hobby
How do make the horse stay in its stable? The gate keeps opening & letting him out l
you can’t, they wander around
i think i wont complete this quest in time…😭😭
what happens next??? i can’t do the other quests?
will it let me to do it again??😣
You have as long as you want to complete the quest, you have to complete it before you can go onto the next quest
the time limit is only for getting the prize
First, this blog is amazing. I just found it and sent a Facebook request to see if you would be my neighbor. I played forever and had everything then my game wouldn’t open so I’m catching up on all the new updates from a year ago. My question is what steps to this specific quest can you do early? If you have a moment to respond. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and time.
Thanks, I will accept it as soon as I get the chance!
There isn’t anything you can do in the quest early, you can tell if you can do something early because it will be a task you can normally do.
Thank you, that would be awesome 😀. Thank you for these walk throughs. It really helps me manage time and save LP. I’m almost caught up, only 12 quests left. I hate that I couldn’t keep playing. I had earned and saved over 5 million simoleons but when I downloaded my game to my tablet I only had 1.5 million. Have you ever heard of that happening?
You’re welcome!
I haven’t heard of that, was everything else the same as when you left it? If not it might not have saved the most recent version of your game
Everything was the same. I have items that are currently locked from my previous play before they changed the levels needed for items so that confirms it for me. Oh well, just curious if you had heard of it. Thank you so much for your time.
That’s very strange!
Why i can’t unlock the toddler quest by the way i already reach lvl 14
You need to complete previous quests before you can access this one, this will be in your queue and you can do it at a future point.
I was just wanting to know if you can use more than 4 sims to clean up around the stage so that time will go faster?
yes you can
Hiiii first of all I luuuuvvvvv your blog it’s such a big help so thank u, and also I hav a question what are the bathtubs in the stables for, when ever I tap on them the sim just say uh uh with “no” sign on head, its soo annoying
I’m glad you like it! You’re welcome
you should be able to clean them, if you have cleaned them then you can’t click on them anymore, they are just for decoration
Is there anyway you can get the telescope without purchasing the promotions r us store?
no there isn’t
Where do you find the promotion r us store
This post will show you: https://thegirlwhogames.wordpress.com/2014/06/26/the-sims-freeplay-town-map/
What happens if I don’t build all six of my stables? I only have four built and four horses (two are 1 star, one 2 star and one 3 star). I’ve completed the quest and all the horse hobbies.
Nothing, you don’t have to build them
Thanks, I’ve been worried about that 🙂
Is the painting really worth it?
like it says in the post, no
Thank you so much
If i dont complete the need for steed quest can i still do the toddler quest?
you have to complete the need for steed quest before you can move onto the next quest
Hi! I’ve been reading your blog every now and then and I gotta say how helpful it is!!
You always tell us to let you know if anything changes on a quest so I wanted to tell you that on this quest after you “encourage a sim” and you have to “repair a stable” the time continues to be 8hs but it costs 15000 Simoleons ( half the price that it used to be)
Please keep up with the blog, I love it!
Camila.
