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 19 before you can start this quest
Can I complete this quest even though I have passed level 19?
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 town hall, how can I earn more simoleons?
This post may help
Can I build the town hall early?
Yes you can
How do I give my sim a job?
Give this post a read
Can I use a BBQ at my house to cook pulled pork instead of the park?
Yes you can
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
I have completed this quest but it will not allow me to enrol my teen sim at high school, why?
You need to build the high school in sim town first
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 Pirate and His Goddess which unlocks pirate ship trading- you will need a teenager to be able to complete this quest

Great blog!!!!!!
thanks
Hi! I just completed this quest, and I tried to enroll my teenage sims in to the high school, but it would not let me. It says that it is locked. What should I do?
you need to build the high school first
You should update this post to say the BBQ has to be in the park. Love all the info and it’s probably changed since you made this post but that would have been good to know. Thx
Thanks for letting me know, I have updated the post.
I just completed this quest. It did not give me the last two goals. It completed immediately after I called the mayor.
thanks, I have updated the post.
I’m currently working on this quest. After calling the mayor, I also had to “deep sleep”, and now “announce grand opening on the soapbox”.
thanks, I have added the version you have of this quest back onto the post.
i dont have the option call mom, theres call grandma???
you need to use an adult sim.
Can I cooked the pulled pork at my house instead of at the park?
yes you can
How much does Sim town high cost?
The cost depends on how many other buildings you have already built as the price increases each time you build a new place.
I ALREADY started a career as a politician but it DID NOT give me the credit for it!!! I EVEN told my sim to go to work as the politician MULTIPLE TIMES but the game WILL NOT pass me on that!!! WHAT AM I DOING WRONG???
you need to give a new sim a job as a politician to complete this
Thanks for the time save for bribing the ducks!!
You’re welcome!
Does the high school cost the same as a work place, like the elementary school, or does it cost the same as a business, like the mall or promotions are us? 🙂
work place

Hi, seeing that this quest has no time limit would you recommend pausing here to do some discovery quest and build buildings? I know that once I do the Life Dreams and Legacy quest it will be harder to keep my sims alive or at the same age while doing time limited hobbies, such as the baby musician hobby. Is this what you would recommend? Thank you so much, your blog is very helpful!
Yes I would recommend that, also make sure you build the snow park during this time as you are going to need it for the seniors quest
You’re welcome, I’m glad it helps!
Thanks! This website is sooo helpful! But once the quest is over, can you change the sims job back to the one you would like it to be???
I’m glad it helps! Yes you can change their job as many times as you want
I finished this quest and built sim town high awhile ago. I have a teenager enrolled and she is at the highest level as a student. This is the only building I have that doesn’t give me any revenue. Am I doing something wrong, is this a glitch, or is this normal? Thank you for this blog by the way.. I use it very often. It’s so useful and well written!
This is a glitch, you will need to contact EA about this problem as I am unable to fix technical issues.
You’re welcome and thanks!
Hello.I am on this quest and bribing the ducks for me only takes 14 hours 30 minutes. I’ll see if I can email you a photo.
Thanks for this!
Nie wiem co się stało,zbudowalam ratusz wcześniej ale nie ukończyło mi się zadanie, i teraz stoję w miejscu, nie wiem co robić….
The goal should complete automatically when you build the town hall early, look in your quest tab to see if the next goal has showed up for you to complete.
Is there a post in the levels for simtown high? Is there isn’t, could you tell me if you know. Sorry is this question has already been answered. Also this blog (I think that’s what is called) is really great!
That information can be found in this post: https://thegirlwhogames.wordpress.com/2016/09/11/the-sims-freeplay-education/ I hope that helps!
Thanks!
I have completed this quest but it will not allow me to enrol my teen sim at high school, why?
Even though, I build the sim high school already…
What now?
have you clicked on the high school to finish building it?
Tui da bo lo cap 19 va tui chua hoan thanh nhiem vu vay tui co the lam lai nhiem vu nay khong
You cannot miss quests, you have to complete them in the order in this post: https://thegirlwhogames.wordpress.com/2014/02/11/the-sims-freeplay-main-quests/
Sim Town High & Town Hall are Built & making Money. On to the Pirates Quest but when I try to enroll a teen it says sim town High is Locked?!!! 😠😠Frustrated because these kids need to be in school 😂😂 Please Help
Are you sure you have built the sim town high? You aren’t thinking the elementary school is the sim town high? https://thegirlwhogames.wordpress.com/2016/09/11/the-sims-freeplay-education/
Now I’m on the Puppy quest & the puppy is stuck at the park. I picked up the puppy went home, I was fake holding something but nothing was there. Tapped Sim, put the puppy down option selected, but it won’t move to next goal. Puppy is at the park, not at my house, I can’t go to work or back to the park whats going on
Can you send a sim back to the park (using the whistle on the simtracker) and then get them to pick up the puppy again?
Hi! Can i start the ‘Bribe the Ducks’ earlier
(MY TODDLER ALREADY GREW UP) 😀
No, you cannot start this early.
I want to ask you something not really relatives to this quest: I have seen the Teen Idol quest. If I change from a Teenager to a Teen Idol, and he is a Budding Romance with another Teen, when he becomes a Teen Idol will it keeps his relationship with the girl?
They will still be in a budding romance as a teen idol can still have romantic relationships: https://thegirlwhogames.blog/2014/05/19/the-sims-freeplay-relationships/
Hi!
I started this quest and for whatever reason it won’t let me get past the level 2 politician thing even though I have two sims at level five and one on level three. Please help!!!!
Try with another sim, if that still doesn’t work you may need to contact EA to see if they can fix this issue for you.
Will I be able to go into the high school?
No, you cannot go into the building.
Can my teenage sims attend the Downtown High School?
No, they can only attend the high school in simtown.
Oh no!!! Why is it even an option to create that downtown high school if no one can attend it? I only built that one & didn’t bother building the high school near the elementary school because I wanted my sims to go to the fancy downtown high school, now it’s going to cost me a fortune to build the other high school! Ugh! Frustrating! Not your fault, I’m just sharing.
Another question, I grew my preteen into a teen before they had reached level 10 at eleme tary school, now it’s blocking me from enrolling them in high school, how can I get them up to speed so they can start high school, do you know? Can they just do a bunch of homework at their study desk until they are caught up, or what? Thanks for all of your help! I love your site/blog, it’s so comprehensive & well laid out, you are a God send!!!
You’re very welcome and thank you! I agree, I don’t know why they added a school that sims can’t attend! Even if you don’t get a preteen to the highest level once you have built the high school in simtown you will be able to send your teen sims there, the option will no longer be locked 🙂
I have completed all quests except last two ( life dreams and on befote) but i cannot access higer education (had been away from sims for a while) how do i get it all i have is a nervous director in the park waiting??
If you have completed all main quests apart from the last two then you will have completed the higher education quest already. Do you mean the new downtown high school? You unlock downtown by completing the simtown express quest: https://thegirlwhogames.blog/2016/09/06/the-sims-freeplay-simtown-express-quest/ once complete you can build downtown high but you cannot send your teens to school there, they can only go to school at the high school in simtown.
Hi! Your site has been very helpful so far! I have a question. I have built the high school in the city. I have not built the one in town. It does not give me the option to enroll my teens. Even my teen that lives in the city. I’ve completed the class clown hobby in the city and the second floor is opened. Any ideas on why I can’t enroll? Am I missing something?
I’m glad it helps! They cannot go to school at downtown high, you can only send them to school at simtown high.
