I can’t find the quest anywhere. Is it cuz I missed the first day?
Have you updated your game?
I’m having some trouble. The Christmas quest isn’t showing up in my game and I have stopped receiving Christmas presents. Do you know how I can get the quest?
So you have updated the game but you haven’t got the quest? that is strange, maybe you should contact EA about the problem as I am unable to help with technichal issues, sorry!
I didn’t get this quest. It just never appeared. I have completed the life dreams and legacies quest but i thought that if there were any new quests I would get them?
Have you updated your game?
Hi! So I was hanging out with my friend today and we were playing sims freeplay. She got the quest and I went on and I didn’t get the quest. I don’t even know why! Can you please tell me? It said that the quest came out today…
Have you updated the game to the Christmas update?
Yes I have… It updated like the day the update came out 😦
Sorry I don’t know why you haven’t got the Christmas quest, there isnt much I can do really as this appears to be a technical issue, you might want to contact EA.
Used a bathroom sink & an adult sim, still 3sec in case you need to know
You do a great job of responding to everyone’s questions thank you for doing this blog
I have been visiting your site and reading your posts for a while now and they have helped me sooooo many times in the past. So I want to start with a huge THANK YOU. My issue is that my update for the Xmas quests is not working. I recieved the free gifts the first few days but on the 14 th nothing! I have been reading posts on the support pages and there are others having the same problem but no replys with solutions or any email address for any kind of actual support. Also my ringlets of fire quest never disappeared, which is a common issue among the others as well. I’m hoping you may know some way to help!
You’re welcome!
The issue is probably because you still have the ringlets of fire which only EA will be able to sort out for you, sorry! the best way I find to contact them is through Facebook or twitter, you can actually ask them a question that way and should get some help 😛
I dont know if your up to this on second day, but it says to place the sleigh at a house, after waving it down and i do but it does not say it is complete. And now santa has disappeared. I already had the sleigh out. Tried putting it back in inventory and replacing, tried putting at different house. Tried closing and restarting ipad., to no avail.
It is not the inflatable sleigh that needs placing, look at the picture in the post, that is the sleigh you need to place.
There is no other sleigh
Have you seen the picture in the post? That is what the sleigh looks like and where to find it.
If each set of goals is a day, how many days will this quest be??
It will probably take us to Christmas eve/day
I’m working through the day two challenges. I’m on “place the sleigh at a house”. I already had the sleigh that I received yesterday at a house. I put it back into my inventory and placed it back at the house where it was and also at my first house, but the goal isn’t going away. Any ideas? Or is this a glitch? I don’t have 15 LPs to buy another sleigh.
It is not the inflatable sleigh that needs placing, look at the picture in the post, that is the sleigh you need to place.
Please help!!!!! When I place the sleigh it doesn’t complete the goal. 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.
My version says that it is updated but my Xmas Mishap event hasn’t started. There is nothing relating to it in my active tasks. Any ideas?
So you have updated the game but you haven’t got the quest? that is strange, maybe you should contact EA about the problem as I am unable to help with technichal issues, sorry!
You are impressive and we are happy having you posted quickly. It seems that we always have a friend who plays Sims together. Thank you.
Do you have to complete the daily goals in the same day, or will they carry over to the next day? I wont be able to play the game all day.
You need to complete them on the day to get the daily prizes but you just need to complete them in the 12 day limit to get the teddy prize.
Do you know why the quest isn’t showing up for me?
Have you updated your game?
Yes. I dunno why it isn’t working…
Sorry I don’t know either
Read ‘accident prone’ from a bookshelf- 36 minutes
\Where do i get the bookshelf? I only have a book case which i cant find this book.
Bookshelfs and bookcases are the same thing.
weightlessmagic- I’m starting to feel really bad for you,😉, all these people are asking the same questions, and you’re answering them with…well patience
Haha 😛 I do try my best!
how do you finish each quest so fat in like…1 minute
and um the date when i posted this was dec 14 2014 at 10:30 pm not dec 15
It changes it to my time GMT so for me you posted it on the 15th at 4:37am.
I don’t finish it in one minute. I use LPs to speed up the longest tasks and just leave the short tasks.
Im already iN the day 2 for xmas mishap..and it says place a sleigh at a house i already did but it does not proceed me to the next goal.
Did you place the inflatable one? As that isn’t the right sleigh, look at the picture in the post to see the one at needs placing.
Hey there, I know you haven’t post Day 2 goals, I just need to ask you this…
I place the “free” sleigh before the goal, when the goal ask us to “place the sleigh at the house”, I put the “free” sleigh into inventory & place it again, but it doesn’t work.
I tried to purchase another sleigh for 15 LPs & place it somewhere outdoor & it still doesnt complete the goal. Such a waste of LPs 😦
Do you get the same error as mine or do you know the solution of this? Thanks a lot 🙂
Are you placing the inflatable one? That isnt the sleigh that needs placing, look at the picture in the post to see the sleigh.
Yay, I found the REAL big sleigh. You’re right, I have mistaken the real sleigh with the inflatable one.
Thank you so much for your help ^_^
Thanks
I hope the bear is cool and I don’t have to take care of it because I already have enough Sims to take care of! 💑 👪 👫 👫 👴 👵 👶 👱👲👧 👨 👩 👦 👶👮 💁 👱

Get a neighbour who has a fire hydrant, go to that house and click on it and select practice firefighting

I did the first day of the quest but after ‘sharing the good news’ I had to wait 13hrs and a bit….is it only me that had this?
You didn’t talk to Santa after? As that is the last task for day one and you would have to wait after that
Hi, I have a problem with “SEARCH FOR CLUES” (it’s a second time quest for the clue searching).
There is a X symbol but my Sims don’t go for it when I click it.
Hope you know why it happen. Thanks 😦
Send that sim home and send another sim there and try again.
i already placed the sleigh near the house, but nothing happens 😦 what can i do?
Have you placed the inflatable one? If so that isn’t the one you need to place, look at the picture in the post to see what the sleigh looks like.
The Christmas task had not popped up for me. I can see the tree, lights, etc but the tasks have not. Any ideas?
So you have updated the game but you haven’t got the quest? that is strange, maybe you should contact EA about the problem as I am unable to help with technichal issues, sorry!
I won the sleigh last night & put it into the garden. Now today’s task is to place the sleigh in the garden but it won’t recognise the one I placed. Will I have to buy another one at 15 SP’s to get past the task.
It is not the inflatable sleigh that needs placing, look at the picture in the post, that is the sleigh you need to place.
I only have the inflatable one in my menu
Are you looking in your inventory?
I wasn’t to start with. Until I looked at your photo closer. Had just finished a 10hr night shift & am feeling ill so wasn’t really looking properly. Thanks for your help. I was stuck at the Elf cave for about an hour had to send someone else in to complete the task. Won the prize in the end so all good :-). Won’t be able to start playing until about 3pm this afternoon so hope the tasks aren’t too long.
I found it. Thank you 🙂

I had trouble in day 2 quest which need to place the sleigh at the house. I already place 2 inflatable sleighs in my house and nothing happened.. How to finish that quest? Is it bug or what? Thankyou 😀
It is not the inflatable sleigh that needs placing, look at the picture in the post, that is the sleigh you need to place.
Yr blog is great. Pictures and the explaination are very clear and easy to understand. Great job!!
Thanks! I’m glad you like it
I have the inflatable sleigh that I have placed but haven’t got the other sleigh in my outdoors inventory….the quest asks me to place the sleigh but it’s not there
It isnt in the outdoor decorations section of your inventory as shown in the picture in the post?
Hey there! I’m a little behind on this, but I haven’t been able to use any of my elder sims to complete the tasks. I’m not sure if it’s just a glitch in my game or what, but I thought I’d give you a heads up if you wanted to test it tomorrow or if anyone else asked.
No seniors can’t, I always use adults anyway because they always work unless it is a specific task.
I like your blog, been helpful to get things done in time, but I one thing to ask if you could, when you post about quests do a total approx time it takes, at the start?
I understand some times are different etc, but even an “this quest took me “x” time, your time may vary”, would help.
Just add up how long each task takes if you want to know that.
Where do you find the inflatable sleigh? Like what area in your inventory?
It is in outdoor decorations of the buy mode, not your inventory
Thank you for answering all my questions so far, you’re the best! This blog has saved me so much time on various quests. I had a quick question: has anyone on this blog experienced glitching with their hobby bar since the Christmas update? I send my sims to do their tasks and when they are done, even though on the screen the percentage increase pops up above the sim’s head, it isn’t adding to the hobby level completion bar, making it take longer to level up. Thanks!
You’re welcome! Yes, this is a glitch in the game, I noticed this when one of my sims was cooking the other day it kept going up and down but she still got to the next level then it did the same thing at that level so it is possible to still level up, I would suggest you just keep going with the hobby and hopefully they will sort this out soon
I received a notice today saying it was three year anniversary of the Sims free play and for playing they gave me a volley ball net for the pool but I can find it, It is not in my inventory but it is in the home store but its not free 😦 Is there any other place I might find it
It isn’t free, when you unlock the prize in the quest you still have to buy it so you still have to buy it, you just unlock it.
Hello, please help me 🙂
If I can’t finish the 2 day quest, the third day I finish or not?
Yes
Hi again I think your posts really help with my organizing. But I have some questions. Will this mission expire with the next update? I’ve also tried really hard to update my sims cause it is still on the pet update but it seems to not be getting any were. Can u please help I would really appreciate that.The anyway😝😝😝
I’m glad they help
Yes it will
Why can’t you update? Have you tried going into the app store on your device and updating the game from there?
Yes I have it just freezes. I closed my app, I restarted my ipad. I have tried everything it just does not work. What do u sajest. 🙏🙏🙏😥😥😥
Sorry I don’t know what to suggest, maybe you should contact EA to see if they can help you?
So one of the presents I got was the beachside escape that I didn’t win during the ocean view quest thing, but when I go to click on it when I build a house, it says I need 50 lps. Is there something I read wrong?
You don’t get it for free, you just unlock it.
Hey how do you get the Santa clothes
From the costume and swim store.
Hi! I have to look for clues (after encouraging the reindeer) but my sim won’t do anything. It’s an adult sim. I tried going home and back to the workshop, closing the game and logging out of facebook and then back in. Do you have any ideas about solving this issue? Thanks in advance!
The only solution I have heard is send that sim home and send another to the workshop
I’m disappointed that everything is the same as last year. But then it is ‘freeplay’.
The quest isn’t the same as last year.
It is slightly different but all the items and graphics are the same. I had just hope for new stuff.
I completed the first day and I can’t find my inflatable sleigh anywhere! Any ideas? Thank you! I love your blog
It is in the outdoor decoration section of the buy mode.
Please help. I’m at the 2nd “search for clues” task after encouraging the flying reindeers. My sim is an adult sim, the one that’s been doing all the tasks so far. After talking to the reindeers he just stands thereand when I click on the “X” to search for clues, he won’t budge! No option comes up as if nothing happens. I can’t make him move around either. I tried restarting the app, my iPad, sending him to work (won’t let you btw), can’t send him home. Anybody knows what’s wrong with this? It’s so frustrating. Thanks a lot!
Can you not send him home using the simtracker?
If you can send him home and send another sim to the workshop.
So everyday quests are going to come!!! What happens if I don’t complete the Christmas 2014 quest!!! Is it important to get that teddy bear!!!! That teddy bear comes every Christmas quests…..right!!!
P.S:I need help I’m in level 10 already and can you tell me tips of how can I level up fast!!! I want to go to the mission Need for Steed quest but im in only 50%….really please help me!!!!
If you don’t complete the quest you don’t get the bear.
No it doesn’t, it is a different prize each time
Sending sims to work, completing hobbies, gardening and baking, buying items are just some of the many ways to increase your level
