Prize: Dragons
Where do I find them? In the Pet store (if you haven’t built the pet store yet you can still get the dragons once it is built)
- There are two 1 star dragons- one costs 50,000, the other costs 25 SP
- There are two 2 star dragons- one costs 250,000, the other costs 25 LP
- There are two 3 star dragons- one costs 50 LP, the other costs 100 LP
Is the prize worth it? Yes it really is! It is unusual and cute, why wouldn’t you want one? Once you have brought a dragon it will appear at the house, near the mailbox as an egg:
You can move it into the house, the dragon takes a day to hatch:
Once it has hatched it will fly around the house, like dogs and cats it will find simoleons and LP:
A sim can interact with the dragon to increase the dragons happiness, they can praise or feed them:
You will now be able to complete the Saved by the Spell Discovery Quest

Yes it does
I’m trying to get thru Book of spells quest, my game has frozen and I’ve lost valuable time on the longer quests! I’m now at the point I have 63 hr time expire but 67hr needed to finish quest…. can other sims help with 16 hr quest talk to mummy! And also at the end do we get to keep the wizards house!? Thank you!
Oh that is frustrating! Unfortunately you can won’t be able to start that task until you get the goal to start it. If you need some LP to speed up some of the tasks this post explains a quick way to earn some: https://thegirlwhogames.blog/2015/01/14/the-sims-freeplay-how-do-i-have-so-many-lps/
The wizards house isn’t a prize but you unlock the wizards cottage if you complete the saved by the spell quest in the time limit: https://thegirlwhogames.blog/2015/11/08/the-sims-freeplay-saved-by-the-spell-quest/
i finished this quest and bought the sky dragon, and then as soon as i placed the egg at my house, my game started freezing for several seconds at a time. i didn’t realize at first that it was only happening at that specific house, and then when i did, i decided to just ignore it and hope the next update fixed the issue. after about a month, i finally lost patience with it and put the dragon up for adoption. a waste of 250,000 simoleons honestly. i don’t know if anybody else was having this issue, but it was incredibly frustrating. by the way, i absolutely love this blog, it has saved my life countless times, thank you for all the work you put into it!
How frustrating, have you contacted the makers to see if there is anything they can do? This post explains how to contact them if you are unsure: https://thegirlwhogames.blog/2016/05/29/the-sims-freeplay-contacting-ea-firemonkeys/
Thanks, I’m glad it could help!
I completed the quest, but didn’t do it in the time allotted. But disappointed to find that I can’t go the wizards cottage anymore. What point did I lose this access?
Thanks thegirlwhogames!!
Sadi
Once the quest is complete you cannot go back to the wizards cottage but if you complete the next quest Saved by the Spell Quest: https://thegirlwhogames.blog/2015/11/08/the-sims-freeplay-saved-by-the-spell-quest/ in the time limit you will unlock the cottage so your sims can live there.
If you didnt finish the quest in the time limit and want the dragons, SOMETIMES they appear in the
“deals” section in the store, they cost like 124 LP, i hope i helped 😀
Thanks for letting us know!
