Thanks for reading and have a great Christmas!

I have the answer to the glitch with Imploring the Grouch. I went to the homepage and saw commemts on this issue. One poster stated that she sent the sim watching tv with the grouch to work, only to have that sim reappear immediately and it got the glitch to stop. I tried this and it works. So send the sim watching movie with the grouch to work. Sim should immediately reappear after “leaving” and you should find the grouch off of couch, ready for the next task.
Thank you so much your blog has been so helpful =) without it I would be stuck on day 3. My sim is currently at the park playing chess with the grouch, cant wait for the next day ^_^
You’re welcome!
Do you have a YouTube channels?
I do have a YouTube channel, I only have one video at the moment but I will be working on some videos in the new year 🙂
It’s strange an hour before I could get to my Day 9 Chrstmas quest you already had how to do it posted this morning 😐
How is it strange? I start at 9am GMT, I try to get it posted within 2 hours.
It is a bit strange because how do you do the 8 hrs 30mins in 2hours? But I love your blog and can you keep posting
It’s not strange, you can use LPs to speed actions up.
I’m on day 6 and have very little lps do i have enough time to complete the whole quest??
I really don’t know, but if you don’t have that many LPs then probably not,
I cant find the soil. When i click on a garden patch it just gives me the option to plant not gather soil
Are you using an adult sim?
Ok but when i take a pic of the fire station, NOTHING HAPPENS! What do i do?
Try taking the picture from different angles
I’ve got to go back to Santana workshop but there’s no sleigh I’ve got to go back to the workshop and watch the grouch turn the machine off please help 😔
The sleigh isn’t at the house you placed it?
Apparently visiting a neighbour and returning home can fix this issue.
What happens if you don’t compleate the task in time and how do you do all your tasks so quick x?
You don’t get the bear
I use LPs to speed up the tasks.
Please help me, I have tried to implore the grouch but he is not responding and just watching the television. I have tried turning the game on and off again and even going to a neighbour and I use an adult sim. Please help me, I really am stuck.
Have you tried sending the sim that watched the film with him to work?
Thank you so much! I am right on track with the quest now that Christmas break is here. Do you know what the teddy bear does? Also- how are you able to post everything so early? Do you buy a bunch of lps? P. S. I only have babies, toddlers and adults, so I don’t know what happens at Life’s Dreams and Legacies… Would you tell me, because I don’t know why everyone is getting so upset… And what Is this death?
The teddy wanders around and you can interact with it
I don’t buy LPs but I complete the cooking hobby to earn them to speed up the actions to get it posted as soon as possible

Do the people asking the same questions not LQQK at the previous asked ones?
Well done young lady replying to them continually.
Clearly not 😛
Don’t try to play chess with the grouch with a senior. You only get the option to play chess with an adult.
Will I still complete the quest if I’m only on day 8 ?
I really dont know, as I don’t know if you are going to be using Lps to speed it up, in that case you probably will, or if you are going to be doing the next task as soon as the previous one has finished so it’s difficult to tell you.
I know you’ve addressed questions about the grouch imploring glitch already. I have tried exiting the game and returning, sending my sim to the neighbours, had them talk, and returned them to the house but the grouch won’t stop watching tv. Any other ideas???
Send the sim who watched the film with him to work, then cancel their work, apparently that also works.
Is any one else struggling to get there sims to ‘Watch Serris Muller’s Night In’ On A TV (3 hours 20 mins)
No one will watch the film 😔
Can they access the front of the tv to watch it?
Hi ! When I try to complete the task “Take a photo of the fire station” it doesn’t work. I zoom in and click the camera button but it doesn’t conplete the task. Am I doing anything wrong ? Is it to do with my device ? (iPod 5) 🙂
Try taking the picture from different angles, that apparent sorts out this problem
Hey to get the grouch to stop watching the tv, send your sim that’s linked to him to work. It stops the grouch from watching tv.
How do you patch into a via a computer
Select the satellite option on a computer.
If you already have the wallpaper, and you decide to replace it, will you get it back for free?
No you don’t
This is kinda of random but at one of your houses the one with the mirror, fire hose, etc. Your stove is on fire I don’t know if someone left it like that when they visited or what. Just letting you know and thanks bunches for adding me I wouldn’t be able to do any of my quests without you.
Yes the fire is there so when you get the goal to extinguish a fire.
Did anyone have an issue with getting the grouch to play chess? I know it says you have to press on the grouch and select play chess but that option doesn’t appear for me. Am I doing something wrong?
Are you using an adult sim?
Hi, the day 10 glitch with the Grouch happened to me too.
For me every time I clicked on him it would give me the options to interact with the particular sim I had watch the film with him. To solve this, I sent that particular sim somewhere else (eg. the Grouch in 1 house, that sim in another), I sent him to Santa’s workshop. This fixed the glitch for me, just to help anyone else with this issue as closing the app etc. did nothing else to help me.
Love your blog, thank you 🙂
Just out of curiosity, do you buy lps or do you earn them?
I earn them by doing the cooking hobby over and over again
Thank- you so so much for everything! This blog has helped me in so many ways! It’s my number one go-to when I’m stuck with a task or quest.
In regard to day 9 of the Christmas quest I found that when I sent my sim to work the grouch stopped watching TV. I hope this information may help someone else 🙂
You’re welcome!
I can’t find fake wimples in order to unmask him? When i was removing the candy canes he wasn’t behind them either… is he supposed to be in the workshop?
He should have been being the candy canes, try leaving the workshop and returning

Please Please Tell me a way to make him normal again until tomorrow . Really , I want the teddy bear .

Try sending the sim to work who watched the film with the grouch
You!!!! ……. Are awesome!!!! Lol .. No but seriously you really have helped me a lot with these quests.. Thanks a lot girl.. Keep up the good work 🙂
Thanks! 😛 I’m glad it’s helped!
Man I tried everything, and the grouch won’t get up of the sofa, he keeps watching tv:( looks like I won’t be able to get the teddy bear.
Have you tried sending the sim to work who watched the film with him?
To implore the Grouch (if you’re struggling with the watching TV glitch too) I tried various things (restarting device didn’t even work!!) but what worked was sending the sim he watched the film with to work, then getting a different sim to implore him. Hope that helps!
Also I love how many times you wrote the same answer to people who didn’t read the others. Made me lol thanks!
What’s GMT!!!!
P.S: very helpful your blog!!!!😊😄😃😀
Greenwich mean time
It’s a time zone.
Thank you! I was just trying to figure out how the heck to sit down and watch Seris Muler when I found your blog. There was a glitch in the chess game also I had to work around. Just a FYI, Happy Christmas!
Heyyy, I’m in day 9 and I got 1day 23 hrs left. Will I be able to finish it?? And i don’t have any LP points 😦
I really dont know, as I don’t know if you are going to be doing the next task as soon as the previous one has finished so it’s difficult to tell you, but if you aren’t using LPs you might have difficulty
When I click the chimney to talk to Santa it doesn’t show me anything
Are you using an adult sim?
It is late and I want to speed up my task but I don’t have lifestyles points

What is the use of the ”living” teddy bear? Please make a page for the use of the bear. Thank you.
🙂
I will add this to the post when I have actually got the bear, like you i am still doing this quest right now.
I love your blog. Too bad I fell 2 days behind on the quests due to traveling
Thanks
Oh that’s a shame, there is always next year though!
There was a glitch for me. My sim was playing chess with the Grouch and even after an hour after it had been at 100% they were still sitting at the chessboard. I tried everything. Nothing worked, so I spent one LifePoint to finish it and it worked. I play on an Android, so if anyone else has this issue; just spend the LP.
Yes I had this issue on my iPad, it was a bit annoying to waste an LP on that!
i only have 2 days left and i have many quest to do to get the teddy bear, if i restart the game does it also restart the days to get the teddy bear?? pls response. thank you
No it doesn’t, the timer is the same for everyone
I can’t get any of my sims to watch the serris mulers night in and it keeps showing me the footprint icon even though it is an empty room except for the tv couch and a sim please help me I really want the living teddy bear!!!!
Is the couch right infront of the tv? If it is, move it and make sure you are using an adult sim
There is no Hobby tab in my home store! How do I get the blackboard?
Under your inventory section, there will be a hobby tab where the blackboard is.
I’m stuck at ‘watch serris mullers night in”. None of my sims wants to watch it? I’ve tried everything and blue foot prints come up. Do I have to use a teen?
Can your sims sit infront of the tv to watch it? Move the sofa that is infront if you need to. I would use an adult sim
How do I get a SIM to watch sarris mufflers? I have tried with an adult, a preteen, and a teen. They will watch other shows but do the uh uh thing about that one.
Can your sims sit infront of the tv to watch it? Move the sofa that is infront if you need to. I would use an adult sim
Can you get the bear without doing the quests? I have added up the time it will take and there is no way that I can make it. Can you help me?
You can’t
Hi. Love your blog here! Can I just ask a question since I’m very very very late already (still day 4), Can I earn LP’s quickly? Because I’m not willing to spend some $$$ to buy LP’s but I am willing to work very hard for it (please don’t give me like hacks or anything, I hate hacks). So, is there ways to make LP’s quick? Please reply soon because I’m REALLY REALLY late and I want that cute little bear 🙂 Thank you very much in advance 🙂
Thanks

I am doing the Christmas quest now and I am caught up. I am no longer receiving Xmas presents everyday though. I receive my rewards after each day of Xmas tasks but I do not receive Xmas presents by my mailbox. It’s been this way for more than a week. I was wondering if this is the same for you? Is anybody else having this issue?
This isn’t an issue, the presents stopped arriving once we started the quest
How many days does the quest contain?
12
Just to add further on getting past the glitchy Grouch – the ONLY thing that worked for me was to send my movie watching sim to visit a neighbour and have them TALK to the neighbour. Just visiting, restarting, rebooting, you name it did not help me!
I love this blog! It has helped me a lot with the quests because currently I am only on day 10 and I am watching that movie Serris Muler night in so I can know what time this quest it over and what time I can start the next quest. Thanks for all your help!
You’re welcome!
I only have like, 2 days left to complete it and I have only got to the art about pep talking an elf! I don’t know what to do please help me
All you can really do is use LPs to speed up the tasks
