1. Since the Christmas update I’ve completed weekly tasks, got a key but no idea how you now or where you go to spend them… It’s counting down to next weeks tasks starting? Anyone else? Any ideas- do I just wait till my next ‘week’ starts before I can spend or am I missing something obvious!? Thanks all and weightless magic 🙂

   • You will need to wait until the next week starts for you to be able to use the key.

2. My kindle automatically updated for Thanksgiving update but hasn’t updated for the Christmas update. Do you know how to manually updated on a Kindle Fire?

   • I don’t know exactly how to update on a kindle but you will need to go to the store where you downloaded the game from then click update.

   • Manual update on Kindle: Goto Apps click into store. Bring up side tab (has the favorites star, search, thing that has square with 3 lines, back arrow and home button). Click the square with 3 lines and click update apps.

     • Thanks!

3. I never got the dragon sculpture.. Adter the update the firdt gift i got was the disco ball… Any chance i’d get it too?

   • Have a look in another house, there may be a gift there for your sim to open

     • Didn’t got it either, maybe i was too late with the update?

     • Maybe, I don’t know

4. How/ where do we get the Christmas outfits that it said we would get??

   • They are in the costume and swim store

5. How come their aren’t any Christmas decorations or outfits for sims to wear

   • I should hope that when the quest starts on the 13th we will unlock more items
     But christmas outfits can be found in the costume and swim store

6. Have you noticed since this update, no more regular tasks once weekly task key is earned? For folks who complete weekly task list quickly, it means fewer opportunities to earn simoleans and life points.

   • Yes I have, you couldn’t get any more keys by completing tasks early so I understand why they have done this.

7. Do you know if we’re supposed to be doing anything with the Santa in the sleigh flying through the town? I tried clicking on him just to see if anything happens – nada – although he’s moving so fast he’s hard to catch.

   Thanks again for your blog and for being such a resourceful FB neighbor. I’ve learned a lot from your setup.

   • No he is just flying past, we have to wait until the 13th for the quest to start and I’m sure santa will turn up then! 🙂

8. Do you have any good tips to get free money in the game?
   Also I love your blog I check it out a lot it really helps me out 😄

   • This post may help: https://thegirlwhogames.wordpress.com/2014/02/27/the-sims-freeplay-15-ways-to-make-money-and-lps/
     Thanks, I’m glad it helps!

9. I got the pop up that said I had a gift (day 4 gift). I saw the gift and accidentally left the yard before opening it. When I went back, the gift was no longer there. Any ideas what to do to get it back?

   • It should be there somewhere, have you looked in other houses?

10. Need a neighbour who has a poolside recliner add me on facebook pleasesee toni.danielle.313

    • You will get more adds if you comment on the neighbours needed page

11. I updated my game late last night and got two presents delivered back-to-back. First was the nightlight for my baby and the second one was the flower fan you posted above.
    And thank you for all the work you put into this blog, it’s really helped me a lot!

12. Thank you! for producing this blog, it really helps😃
    Day 4 – gift was a night-light for children.
    But I cannot find it in the store or the inventory (I have not completed or started the toddler quest, I’m on the marriage quest). Any ideas if it could be anywhere else?
    Playing on iPad mini, if it is relevant at all. Thanks!

    • You won’t be able to find it yet then, it will be in the baby and toddler sections and the children’s store, which you can only access after completing the baby and toddler quests

      • Thank you very much!! 😀

13. I’m so glad that the quest is starting on a Saturday.

14. Do you know where Santa’s workshop is?

    • The quest doesn’t start yet so you won’t be able to access santas workshop until the quest has started

      • Ok!!
        Thank you very much!! 😄

15. Do you think they will actually give us real Christmas presents this year, like they did last year? I really enjoyed having the Christmas wall paper, the Christmas candles and cookies for Santa. I’m getting kind of bummed this time so far.

    • Hopefully we will unlock wallpaper and other items when we complete a day of the quest

16. Can you help me? Im stuck in the great Xmas mishap.
    Im stuck in “rest with The thinking Man” i dont understand.can you Post your mission Xmas mishap? Thank you 🙂

      • You are the best 😘

      • Thanks! 🙂

17. How do you complete the thinking man part of the Xmas quest? I have no idea at all 😦 please help!

    • Click on the thinking man statue in the park.

18. started on the quest but stuck on the 2nd task, how do you get a sim to ask if the other is okay

    • it is an interaction get two adult sims who are friends and get one to click on the other, then select the option.

      • I’ve done this about 8 million times, but the option to ask if okay is not there. 1. yes she slipped, 2. yes they are friends, 3. yes I clicked between them, both him to her and her to him. No dice.

      • Well there isn’t much I can do then if you havent got the option, contact EA.

19. I didn’t get a present today. Do you stop getting presents when the Christmas quest come?

    • Yes presents stopped when the quest started

20. I dont see the quest

    • Have you updated your game?

21. I have done the update but I don’t have the quest
    Can I have some help please

    • It might not have started for you yet, but I think it should have started by now

22. I just opened my Christmas gift box for day 6, and they said that since it was their anniversary, they’d give me the ocean view painting that I didn’t receive since I didn’t complete the quest in time. I can’t find it though. Shouldn’t it be in Decorations? I even searched under Bathroom!

    • It isn’t a painting, it’s a house

23. I already placed the sleigh somewhere at the house.but nothing happened help please.

    • It is not the inflatable sleigh that needs placing, look at the picture in the post, that is the sleigh you need to place.

      • What sleigh in what post because i dont have a sleigh where it shows my task, i only have an inflatable sleigh and that doesnt work

      • https://thegirlwhogames.wordpress.com/2014/12/14/the-sims-freeplay-the-great-xmas-mishap-quest-2014/

24. I got a free gift with the 3 year anniversary. It is the haunted house. Do you where i go to get the gift?

    • Yes click on a house plot and you will find it on the list.

25. Long time reader, first time commenter. Thanks for always being so helpful! I did not recieve anything as an anniversary gift, any ideas why?

    • You’re welcome!
      Have you unlocked all the prizes for completing quests on time? I don’t know what that players who have done that got as their gift as the gift unlocked one of these prizes
      Or have you just missed it, there will be a parcel at a mailbox at one of your houses

26. They gave me the elevator and escalator pack for the anniversary. I was so surprised haha it’s actually a really good pack! It came with 3 elevators; a basic one (200 000 simoleons), a techno theme (300 000 simoleons), and a fancy hotel theme (20 Lp). And 4 escalators; a cheap one (100 000 simoleons), a basic one (120 000 simoleons), a fancy gold plated one like the spiral staircase (140 000 simoleons), and a really sick rainbow one (20 Lp). It’s pretty awesome and if you save up, it’s totally worth it!

27. Says they gave me the unicorn painting, but it costs $10,000. Doesn’t seem like a gift to me.

    • It wasn’t free when you got it for completing the quest in time either.

28. Thank you for all the advice you give. The info is great! I have a question about day 2 Christmas quest. I read blog about what tasks to do in order. I finished looking for clues and told me done for today. I didn’t get to inspect machine but still has plenty of time to finish. I didn’t get Christmas candle either. Is this a glitch?

    • Did a pop up not appear telling you you had completed the day and unlocked the candle?

29. I could use some help… I got the teen idol “set” but I can’t find it in the store or my invetory. Any ideas?

    • in the teen section of the buy mode you will see the 3 star premium instruments, I don’t think they are free though

30. Hey I have a question. I had been given the Halloween house as a give ,but I don’t know where its at

    • Click to build a house, in the house list it will be in there, it isn’t free though

31. Where do I find the anniversary gift “ocean view house” it was a Christmas gift and I can’t find it HELP

    • Click on a house to build it and you will see the list of houses appear, the ocean view one is at the end of the list but it isn’t free

32. Hello, I have been looking for the sleigh to place in my yard and cannot find it in my inventory or anywhere anywhere. I already realized that the inflatable Santa wasn’t it. Please help!

    • It isn’t in the outdoor decorations section of your inventory? If not then sorry I don’t know why it isn’t there, I think you should contact EA to see if they can help you with the issue

33. Hello, finally hope I can get some help, on first part of the Xmas Mishap task and I need to search for clues on the X marks the spot at Santa’s workshop and I have one of the reindeer floating right above the X……So any sim I send there to do the task wont do it as they are being blocked….any ideas how to get rid of this glitch?

    • I’m not sure how to fix the is problem but I would suggest you send that sim home and close your game, then I would turn the device off and on again and send a new sim to the workshop, this might make the reindeer move, if not you will have to contact EA to see if they can fix this issue for you, sorry!

34. So…. I managed to leave Santa’s workshop, but I left the sleigh there and now I can’t get back. Anyone know of a fix?

    Thanks!

    • Are you sure the sleigh isn’t back at the house you placed it at?
      If not if you can find santa in your simtracker, click on him because he should be at the workshop

      • I have te same problem I can’t find it either

      • Sorry there isn’t a lot I can do, I can only suggest you close the game and open it again to see if it reappears at home

      • Santa has disappeared from my sim tracker but I still have the sleigh at the house. It kind of scared me because I thought my baby disappeared too. but she is still in her crib.

      • the sleigh is at the house so you can get back to the workshop using that.

    • I did the same thing, left my sled at the workshop and Santa was on my SimTracker right up until I needed him and then…poof! I really hope there’s a way to get back 😦

      • The only way I have heard to fix this is going to a neighbours then going back to your town, the sleigh should reappear

35. Hmm… I have 3 SANTA sleighs (1 free & 2 purchased with 30 LP’s. OUCH!) placed in 3 different homes and the quest algorithm won’t recognize it. What to do? Can’t move on. Any thoughts?
    Thank you for your time & attention. 🙂

    • are you buying the right sleigh? its not the inflable one, its the one in the outdoor decorations section of your inventory

36. I’ve completed 34% of the Great Christmas Mishap. My current task is to return to Santas a Workshop after talking to the Wumples but Santa is no longer listed on my SimTracker and I must have left his sleigh at the workshop…how to I get back?? Desperate for help…thanks!

    • so the sleigh isn’t at the house you placed it at? Try closing the game and opening it again to see if it reappears.

37. I have same issue and Santa is not in my SIM tracker… Please help!

    • Sorry there isn’t a lot I can do, I can only suggest you close the game and open it again to see if it reappears at home

      • Aside from the option to logout of Facebook how does one actually close or logout of the game? Sorry for such a silly question :p

      • Close the game like you would any app on your device
        You can’t log out of the game

      • Yes, the same to me. Santa disappearing fromm the list, sleigh is at the workshop. I also tried to close and re-open the game, but it is still the same. No any help??? The deadline is coming

      • The only way I have heard to fix this is going to a neighbours then going back to your town, the sleigh should reappear

38. I have the same issue with my sleigh/santa. There is NO way to get back to the workshop?

    • The only way I have heard to fix this is going to a neighbours then going back to your town, the sleigh should reappear

39. I’m doing the Christmas tasks and have the sleigh but where do I place it? No matter which garden I put it I can’t move forward on the tasks

    • You just place it in a garden at one of you houses, if it isn’t working are you sure you are placing the right sleigh? It is the one in the your inventory in the outdoor decorations section, not the inflatable one you won on day 1

40. Go to your town map and one of the face icons will flash with a picture of the sleigh! That’s where Santa’s sleigh is.

41. i just sold my sleigh and santa is no longer listed on my simtracker, i have restart the game and santa still not in my simtracker. i`ve reach 46% on Xmash Mishap,can i visit santas workshop with this condition?

    • Without the sleigh you will have difficulty visiting the workshop
      Santa isn’t always in the simtracker so if you can buy another sleigh then you should

42. Excuse me
    Why Santa did not want to return to his home? I’ve pressed the home button, initially he came home but when I play again, he stays in my house. What should I do?
    Thanks

    • There is nothing you can do, he will wander around until the quest is over

43. Is anybody else having alot of glitches with this update? My game restarts alot and makes my sims stop doing what I had them doing. It sucks because I had to use my LPs to catch up for the Christmas quest.

    • Try turning your device off and on again before you start the tasks for that day, that may help.

44. Hi this has nothing to do with this quest but I had a pet Turkey and I put it into my inventory and it is not there. Where can I find it???

    • It should be in the pet section of your inventory

45. How dO I open the boxes once I have completed the quest for the week. I have completed it but there is no option to open the boxes till the next week.

    • You have to wait until the next week, this is the only option.

46. First of all, Merry Christmas! I love your blog, it has saved me from quitting many times. Ok here’s my question: Where do I go to get the pet costumes? I have tried the pet and decoration sections of the “Home Store” and no luck. Thanks!

    • Merry Christmas!
      They are in the pet salon, you have to have completed the life dreams and legacies quest before you can build it

47. Could u please tell me how to get free LP’s?
