I am not technically inclined how do I find it
This is the quest: https://thegirlwhogames.wordpress.com/2014/03/15/the-sims-freeplay-life-dreams-legacies-quest/
In this post the picture shows you the life dreams menu, the menu next to that (with the hourglass picture) is the age controller: https://thegirlwhogames.wordpress.com/2014/03/18/the-sims-freeplay-life-dreams-menu/
Thank you so much. I did this now most of my seniors has cooking as their hobby but when I have them cook the cooking levels don’t change. So how do they fulfill their legacy so that they can die?
cooking isn’t a life dream, you need to get them doing the thing that they want to do for their life dream to fulfill their legacy
How do I convince the pirate to stay?
Click on the pirate and select an option.

Hey! Those long hair hairstyles from the salon also come with the pirate fashion pack? Or you could find them there even before the pirate quest?
No they don’t, there was a quest for a week where you could unlock long hair, it is no longer avaliable.
Hi, I’m saw your salon image and was wondering how odd you get the long hair?

Hi! I’m having trouble continuing after the bathroom at the park goal. Where do I find the pirate to ask about journal? He’s not at the park or the community center. Thanks!
He should be in the park, leave and go back there to see if he appears
Hi I got as far as calling the five Sims to community center, then I immediately sent them home after that and before summoning teen Sim. Now it still says call teen to comm center . I’ve tried doing it all over in different orders and still nothing. Any suggestions? It also won’t let the teen go to podium , I’m stuck and time is ticking 😢
So you are on the task to call a teen to the community center? get your teen to leave then close your game and turn your device off and on then try again.
Thank you! I’m going to try that ! Really appreciate you!
You’re welcome!
I love your blog and you are God-sent!! Would you mind giving me the password to the second riddle?? I am truly stumped!! Thanks
I’m glad you like it!

Hello, what would happen if I had the wrong answer
. I chose brown and then I read that it was a mixture of red and another color. I cancelled the action in the last 5 minutes of it and changed it to the right answer before it was finished 😓😪
It wouldn’t complete the goal and you would have to choose another option
Hi! First of all, I love your blog! It’s very helpful and accurate.
Now, probably this is a glitch, or maybe you have some tips…
I was having problems connecting to facebook and accesing the boat, once when it failed again, everyone have stopped doing whatever they were doing…
This was only once, I could fix that.
Now I’ve been asking the pirate about the journal for about 15 hours, I even considered using LP to finish that. When I came to check on the teen, he was just standing there, doing nothing and I had to start again from the begining! So, 24 more hours…
Do you think a neighbor could have canceled this? Because if so, it was very mean!
Thanks!
Juliana (from Brazil)
You’re welcome!
A neighbour can’t interfere with your game at all, what you need to do is stay away from the park until that task has been completed, if you keep checking on it it sometimes a glitch causes it to stop the task
I need the answer to the 2nd riddle😣
would you like me to email you the answer?
Do you have to build the snow park or can you use a neighbors?
I’m not sure if you can use your neighbours but you could always try it
I am level 26 and on the pirate quest. Building the snow park for me costs 275,000. If I wait to build until the senior quest where it is required will it be more expensive to build?
If you build other places before then then yes
Made it with half hour to spare. Thanks for all your help 🙂
You’re welcome 🙂
Hello ! Greetings from a dull and rather grey Ashton under Lyne (Near Manchester) !
I managed the riddle answers on my own and completed this quest last week – thanks to the tips within the blog !
Now using the RED quest one !
Add me as a friend in Game Center if you’d like ? – Paprikamax – I have a Courtesy House too, it’s next to the Community Centre.
Hello!
Do you know if this glitch occurs only in this quest, or in future quests as well? All my activities since the second riddle have done this, where they show completed but when I go to the stables or the park the teen is just loitering doing nothing. I’ve used 45 LP so far to finish the quest (lucky I’d stored them up from months of game play!). I’d hate for this glitch to be an ongoing problem.
Let me know what you think, and thanks for posting all this great stuff for us Sims addicts! : )
I have never heard of this glitch before on every goal you do, does it make any difference if you wait until the goal completes before you go to that place?
That’s the only way I encountered it. I’d see the task was complete and I’d go to the stables or park and the teen would be standing idle. I did end up finishing in time with life points because I really wanted the pirate hair! 🙂 I haven’t seen the glitch since and I’m halfway through the teen rock star quest.
Thats strange, at least the glitch has gone now.
Hello! Great blog you have and really helpful in helping me to complete quest on time 🙂 can you please email me the answer of both parts? Thank you very much!
I’m glad it helps
