In this post I will explain how the ultimate makeover on The Sims Freeplay works and whether I think it is worth using. When you click on your sim who is not doing anything you will see the purple ultimate makeover option:
The ultimate makeover allows you to change the DNA of your sim, the DNA is the name, gender and skin tone so it basically takes you back into the create a sim menu.
Once you select the option and click you are sure you want to spend 12LP on this it will take you back to the create a sim menu:
Can you cancel it once you enter the ultimate makeover? Yes, click the back button at the top and it will refund you your 12LP:
This might be quite useful if you accidentally gave your sim the wrong name to begin with but sims age so quickly once the Life Dreams and Legacies Quest is complete you could just recreate the sim again once they pass away but with the correct details this time and save yourself those 12LP!

Some times are slightly different on my game, why is this?
Times may vary depending on the star rating of the item you are using, as the higher star rating an item has the quicker you will complete a goal
Some times are really off/ different goals show for me, why is this? This will be because the quest has been updated recently, I try my best to keep these posts up to date but it is difficult as I cannot redo every quest each time the game is updated. If you notice any changes please let me know so I can update the post

Scientist is one of 8 careers your adult sims can have (not including profession careers) and this post explains all you need to know about this career.
How do I start this career?
You firstly need to build the science lab and then you will be able to select scientist from the list of careers.
Once your sim is a scientist you can click on the pulsing suitcase on the simtracker to send them to work once a day. During this time you won’t see them at work and you cannot go to the science lab, on the simtracker it will just say they are at work, once the time is up they will arrive back at home and be rewarded with the simoleons and XP they earned for that shift. The more they work, the higher level they will reach in that career and the more money they will earn.
You can then send your sims to work again at/after 12am as it is the start of a new day.
You can send your sims to work anytime of the day for 8 hours, once they finish their shift you will receive the simoleons and XP they have earned. When they reach a new level in that career a pop up will appear to show you how much they will earn for the next shift.
What are the levels and how much money and XP do you earn for a day at work?

How do I find out what level my sim is on?
You can see this information in the occupations (career) tab. This tab is where you give your sims careers to begin with. Here you can see your sims career and the level they are on and if you click on the symbol of the career you will be able to see how much your sims earn and you can quit jobs from here too.
Yes you can buy the telescope from the promotions r us store or hobby and career items tab of the home store. It costs S3,490 and once placed in your sims garden you can cloud watch (during the day) or stargaze (at night) for 3 hours. During this time your career bar will increase like it does when they go to work (but slower) If you don’t want to buy the telescope you can also use the chess board in the park to play chess for 10 minutes, this will increase it too!

After the time has passed come back and click the exclamation mark above your sims head to find one of the toy collectibles in that row.

You won’t find a new collectible each time, you will get repeats, if this happens just keep going, you will find them eventually! If it is still taking too long you can use the lucky spin on the row where you cannot find the item, this will cost LPs, when you click on the LP button it will clear the row and give you a random collectible on that row so you aren’t guaranteed a new item (you will get back any other collectibles you already had in that row) Need to earn some LPs to use the lucky spin?
The completed toddler playhouse collection is shown below, once you complete the collection you need to click ‘start a new collection/ play again’ at the top of the hobby collection screen, this clears the board so you can complete the collection again to earn more rewards (you will only get the option to restart the hobby collection when you have completed the collection):
The first time you complete a row you will unlock a new row of toys to collect, further times you will earn XPs when you complete a row in the hobby but tocomplete the collection you need to find all 12 of the collectibles
The rewards for completing this collection are the playhouse and 6LP:
The first time you complete this hobby you will unlock the playhouse for your toddlers to complete the hobby at home, you can find it in the toddler section and it costs 20LP
From the second time onwards each time you complete the collection you will earn 6LP
