FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS QUEST
please read before asking
How do I start this discovery quest?
Find the dancers in the park
Why can’t I do this discovery quest yet?
You cannot do more than one discovery quest at the same time, if you are currently on another one (the list can be found here) you will not be able to do this one until that one is completed
Can I do discovery quests at the same time as a main quest?
Yes you can
Do I have to do this quest?
If you don’t start the quest you don’t have to do it at all but if you have already started it you need to complete it before you can move on to the next quest
I haven’t started this quest yet, will it still be available when I want to do it?
Yes it will be, you can choose to start it whenever you like
Help! I used the wrong aged sim to watch the dancing couple, now I can’t enthuse, what should I do?
Try using two adult sims to enthuse, if you still don’t get the option you may need to contact the makers
I left the villa, how do I get back?
Use the car at the park
I explored the villa but the roof is still on, how do I eat hors d’oeures?
You will need to contact the makers to see if they can fix this for you as I am unable to fix technical issues
My sims won’t cheer on the fantasias, why?
If they are still in the park you won’t be able to complete this goal. Have all sims leave the villa and go back to the park, restart your device and hopefully the dancers should have left the park. Go back to the villa using the car to cheer them on.
The task have two pairs of sims chatting won’t complete, why?
Are you sure you used 2 pairs of sims? (4 sims)
What do you mean when you say a goal can be started early?
Any goal that you can normally do can be started early because you will have access to it and any goal that you can’t normally do you will have to wait until you get the goal to be able to complete it
The tip with this method is to put the sim doing that action early in a different house that you cannot go to until you get that goal or it will not work
Do you get to keep the cat you rescue?
No, you never see the cat
All sims left the villa but it didn’t complete the task, what should I do?
Try and have all your sims not doing any action, this sometimes makes the game recognise you have completed that goal
What do I get if I complete this quest in the time limit?
Rugs
What happens if I don’t complete in the time limit, can I still finish this quest?
Yes you have to finish it to unlock the salsa dancing hobby before you can move onto the next quest
I didn’t complete in the time limit, can I restart the quest?
No, you cannot redo quests
Can I still get the prize if I don’t complete in the time limit?
No, the only way to get the limited time prizes is by completing the quest in the time limit
I don’t like this quest! Can I just skip it?
No, you have to complete this quest before you can move onto the next one now that you have started it, if you don’t start it you don’t have to do it
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
This quest unlocks the salsa dancing hobby, does the time limit start straight away once I have completed this quest?
Yes, the time limit for the hobby starts straight away once this quest is complete, you can click no when the hobby pop up appears but this does not stop the timer going down
NOTE: the breakdancing hobby timer starts as soon as you complete the salsa dancing hobby

FYI, u can use a toddler to get the 5 Sims in the villa but toddler can’t eat or cheer on
I saw the task at the beginning of my game, but no tasks! I’m also looking at your pics, and I see a “villa” -I don’t have one- where is it at? I’m level 37 and I’m about to make my preteens to grow. Thank you!
you have to click begin quest on the dancers in the park, like it says in this post
at this point you can only visit the villa you can’t build your own yet.
I have left the villa by mistake, can I get back?
the car to get back to the villa should be at the park
I can’t find the car in the park??
Are you on a goal involving the villa?
You won’t see the car to get back there until you get a goal involving the villa
Nevermind… I found everything…. That’s what happens when you don’t read before asking. Oops! My mistake. Thank you
I had sims in the park when the “Cheer On” part came on. Now the salsa dancer won’t leave the park even though I brought all my sims home. How do I get the salsa dancers to their villa so I can cheer them on?
close the game and open it again, hopefully the dancers will go to their villa
I have the same problem. The dancers will not go to the villa!
I don’t know how to fix this issue so I am just guessing here but send your sims home from the villa and make sure there is only one sim in the park, then it might help to close the game and open it again then go back to the villa using the sim at the park to click on the car at the park, hopefully they will then be at their house.
I can’t get my sims to “cheer on” using the jukebox. It keeps saying they can’t get to it. Any ideas on what to do?
are the dancers still in the park? you need to get them to the villa, make sure there is only one sim in the park, send your sims back from the villa then it might help to close the game and open it again then go back to the villa using the sim at the park to click on the car at the park, hopefully they will then be at their house, I’m just guessing though!
I did the ,,Talk to the dancers” part but it didn’t count; only after I did it twice. And now it happened again with ,,Have 2 pairs of sims chatting”; but this one takes longer. At this rate, I won’t be able to do it within the limited time. Any suggestions ?
is it cancelling the action before they finish? if so, stay away from the place they are at until they completely finish the task, hopefully this will help.
i can’t cheer on the fantasias. i finished the eat hors d’oeures task but the dancers didn’t come back to the villa. please help!

I didn’t have to cheer on the dancers, I just went straight to chat – just saying and seeing if anyone else got to miss a goal too aha 🙂
lucky you
Ok how do u get the sims enthuse I have tried and went everywhere
it is an interaction between two sims, get one sim to click on another and select enthuse.
I tried that to no enthuse option is there just the normal actions
are they both adult sims?
If it still isn’t there you will probably have to contact EA to see if they can fix this for you as I am unable to fix technical problems
I had two pairs of Sims chatting but I can’t move past this task. 😦
are you sure you had 4 sims chatting? not just 2?
How you could get more lps.

How do I get a lot of lp so I can finish the quest in time? I have a luxury car, 3 neighbors but I only get $$? BTW I go on your website slot to get a heads up on the quests… just to tell you!

I watched them with a senior and can’t enthuse with another sim. Is this a bug or did I do something wrong?
Try with two adults
Holy smokes, this quest is lonnggg. I just may have to buy some lps cuz I gonna be needing more.
I’ve seen pics of the rugs and they don’t seem impressive to me. But I want the villa lol.
Do we get a villa upon completion of this quest?? I thought it was only rugs and the dancing hobby. Does anyone know?
you unlock the villa if you complete the salsa dancing hobby in the 7 day time limit, the hobby unlocks once you finish this quest
Is there anyone els who can’t explore the house? It some kind of how shipped the task, and now I can’t do the “eat horse d’oeuvre’s” task, becouse I only can see the roof. When I tap on the house it just give me that red stopping kinda sign. Please help!
I have heard of someone else having this problem, I don’t know how to fix it though, sorry! you will have to contact EA to see if they can help
I have the same problem how u do that mission?? Help please
you will need to contact EA about this issue.
I have the same problem. Did you ever get it fixed?
I can’t get 5 sims cheer on the fantasias- 2 minutes, I tap the jukebox and then cheer on but the icon comes up like they are blocked. The fantasias are still at the park and I am lost as to what to do.
I don’t know how to fix this issue so I am just guessing here but send your sims home from the villa and make sure there is only one sim in the park, then it might help to close the game and open it again then go back to the villa using the sim at the park to click on the car at the park, hopefully they will then be at their house.
The fantasias aren’t at the villa so how can the sims cheer them on?
you need to get them to the villa, make sure there is only one sim in the park, send your sims back from the villa then it might help to close the game and open it again then go back to the villa using the sim at the park to click on the car at the park, hopefully they will then be at their house, I’m just guessing though!
How do I get the dancers to go to the villa?
I can’t cheer them on from the juke box as they are not there

Can someone help me? The jukebox will not allow me to select the option to “cheer on”. Instead the “can’t walk” option keeps flashing as if there is something in front of the jukebox.
are the dancers still at the park? you need to get them to the villa, make sure there is only one sim in the park, send your sims back from the villa then it might help to close the game and open it again then go back to the villa using the sim at the park to click on the car at the park, hopefully they will then be at their house, I’m just guessing though!
Are there certain Sims I have to use I did the explore villa twice and it won’t let me go on to the next goal
I’m not sure, I used an adult and it worked fine
How do I make my sims chat? I can’t find that option.
Never mind. It needs to be adult sims, I was using seniors. I don’t have many adults since I finished the Life Dreams and Legacy quest.
it is an interaction, click on another sim to get the option to chat
Ive unlocked this 2 times by building the witchery store (or something like that). So i finished a few witchery quests and then i saw the dancers but i must complete the witchery quest first to unlock it.
yes, you need to complete the book of spells first because they are both discovery quests so you can’t do them both at the same time
So that means you can do it any level.
I’m not sure if you have to be on a certain level for this to unlock
How do you enthuse?
it is an interaction between two sims
it won’t let me cheer on I think it’s because the dancers are still in the park. do you know how to get the dancers to the villa?
I don’t know how to fix this issue so I am just guessing here but send your sims home from the villa and make sure there is only one sim in the park, then it might help to close the game and open it again then go back to the villa using the sim at the park to click on the car at the park, hopefully they will then be at their house.
I love all your posts they help me so much! And I can’t wait until the end. Please say if the rugs are worth it to complete it in time because right now they don’t seem like much of a helper to push me further quicker
Thanks, I’m glad they help!
I have added pictures of the rugs to the post, personally I don’t like the rugs at all but you can see for yourself if you think its worth it
I just wanted to start by saying your website is such a huge help for me and my game. And as for this new quest you and I are at the same stage. I checked to see if you had got further than me. I also hope the rugs aren’t just the festive Latin rugs. I’ve been wanting rugs for soooooooo lobg now.
I’m glad it helps!
Unfortunately they are as we feared, the latin rugs, I just wanted some plain ones!
Your blog is so helpful! And, I think theres a glitch on this quest because I had my sims chat, and after they ‘chatted’ it made me do the task all over again! 😦
thanks!
did you use 4 sims? not two
It says send sims back, I did that and nothin changed, how do I go back and try it again.
have you sent all sims home from the villa or is there still one there?
I’m on the “have a sim hibernate” task. Can I use a baby to complete that task?
yes you can.
You awesome love checking this sight when I have questions or get stuck just wanna say thankyou
Thanks!
You’re welcome
Do you think the rugs are worth it? Because I’m not going to have much time to play, since I have to study for mid term exams. Ugh. I’d be devastated if I didn’t get these if they were worth it. And if I did miss the quest, I wouldn’t be able to get the rugs because my game is glitches where the online store and daily mail thing don’t show. Do you think that’s a glitch too? Btw, srry if I tyoed too much😅.
I have added pictures of the rugs to the post, personally I don’t like the rugs at all but you can see for yourself if you think its worth it
I have not heard of that glitch but if it just your online store and daily reward you should still be able to get the rugs
Thanks! This helps so much, you don’t even know! The blog, I mean. You can’t really find a good blog for The sims Freeplay, let alone any apps. Keep it up!😄
You’re welcome!
I clicked yes for the quest but it doesn’t show up where the quests go and had already began it. I tried exiting and coming back in but it didn’t help. Reply with help?
have you looked in your goal tab? to see if it is in there.
If you are on the book of spells quest you won’t be able to do this one until you finish that.
Hey! I love your blog! I really can’t believe the Sims ACTUALLY lets you keep the Latin Villa! I really can’t believe it, the Sims really isn’t the most generous game… Anyways, do you have to finish the quest in time to get the Latin Villa? Thanks!
And also, do you need to pay for the Latin Villa? It’s okay if you don’t know, and I wouldn’t be surprised if you did! You know the Sims… Love you!💜
And I am not angie (with the lowercase a) fyi💩
Someone told me that it costs over 100LPs! I’m not sure if this is correct though as I haven’t completed the hobby yet but I will post the exact price when I know
Thanks!
The villa is unlocked if you complete the salsa dancing hobby in the 7 day time limit, this hobby unlocks straight after you finish this quest
Wait… So if you complete the hobby in time then you get the villa… FOR FREE?!?!
no, it costs 125SPs.
😱😯😶🙀
Can you find the villa on the town map or can you only get to it by using the car in the park
you can only get to it by using the car.
I did have 2 paies of sims chatting but after 10hours and 30 minutes nothing happend. Do you know why?
you definitely had 4 sims doing this task?
I think the only thing you can do is try again
The task to have a sim hibernate in a bed – it’s ok to use a baby in a cot. I had mine on hibernate already when the task popped up so luckily only had to wait 30 mins to finish that task!
I had my sims chat but I oh had 2 sims chatting and not 4, it asked for a pair so would that be 4 sims…it was 10 hrs long and it didn’t do anything after my 2 sims chatted
Can I start the “hibernate for 1 day” early? Thank you.
yes
Just saying this… I use this site a lot, and I applaud you for taking time to help us when you didn’t need to. What level are you on?
You’re welcome!
I am on level 39 on the game I am doing this quest on
The dancers are not at the villa, still at the park. Is there some thing wrong with my game
yes, this seems like a glitch, I don’t know how to fix this issue so I am just guessing here but send your sims home from the villa and make sure there is only one sim in the park, then it might help to close the game and open it again then go back to the villa using the sim at the park to click on the car at the park, hopefully they will then be at their house.
I’m at the villa, my sim is inside but I can’t see inside the villa Is this a bug?
That sounds like a bug to me, I don’t know how to fix this, sorry!
You account is very helpful thanks for creating it! 😄😄😊😊
you’re welcome!
Is anyone else having an issue with the ‘Dance to Remember’ quest?
Whenever a task has about 10 seconds to go, the sims just stop what they’re doing and the task doesn’t get completed! I just wasted 10hrs 30mins! Help!
strange, I’ve not had this problem so far, I would just stay away from the place where they are completing the task until they complete it to stop this happening
I’ve not had this quest! It’s not on my iPad
>
are there dancers in the park?
I don’t see the quest any where.It only told me that there’s a new quest,but i don’t see it anywhere.
click on the dancers in the park.
hi, this is extremely unrelated, but i really want to create my own website (about crafting, not about sims, i wont copy urs) and im having a really hard time doing that. I tried using wordpress, but it is very complicated. Could u please give me some tips? Also, i created a page, but it wont delete, and when i go to the settings, the page doesnt show up. So it is deleted in the settings, but it still shows up on the site. It also wont let me create a new page. Im about to give up! Plz help! (btw, LOVE LOVE LOVE this blog. I use it ALL the time. Thank u for devoting so much of ur time to help us!!!! ❤ 🙂
Yeah wordpress is a bit complicated but you get used to it, there is a wordpress.com help site (http://en.support.wordpress.com/) that should help you learn the basics, it would probably be easier for you to look at that than me trying to explain things without pictures!
Sorry I don’t know what to do about the page problem
Thanks! You’re welcome!
Your blogs are so helpful! So could you please help me in this spasific task: while you were doing the ‘explore the villa’ task, would you be able to start the next task early?
no but you can start the hibernate task early
can I use a baby for the hibernate task?
yes
Can you start the read salsa book early?
No
I had to redo the 10 hour + “chat with sim” quest because even after it was completed the quest didn’t clear.
facing this problem AGAIN. I’m in the park and must have clicked “dance with sim” 10 times now. the quest just won’t clear. even after restarting my device twice & clearing all other apps.
help 😦
are you choosing the right option, it is the 3 second dance not the 10 second one
