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

Does this quest have days like the Xmas quest or is it just one long quest like the regular ones. I saw that you might have said on your post but I’m not sure if that is what you meant
No it doesn’t but you have 7 days to complete it if you want to get the rugs.
Can you start growing the pumpkin ahead of time?
Yes
I did second time this task and finally worked. It isnt first time when i have to do task second time
Can you start growing pumpkins early?
Yes
Thnk u! I just discovered your post about which actions can be done ahead of time, I didn’t understand the part about having to be alone in a house… Why.?
because if you have another sim at the house and the sim who is doing the task early finishes the task before you get the goal you will have to start that goal again
I wish they had worded the “Chat” step differently. I got this step right before bed and didn’t read it correctly, so I just put 2 people chatting on both of my games. I wake up and the task doesn’t complete and came on here to see if others had the same issue and discover that I made the error. They should have said “Have 4 Sims chatting” and mentioned that 2 pairs should be chatting in the little bit under it. wasted 10h30m 😦
I know what you mean, I think they did it on purpose to make some people make that mistake!
Thank you for posting this so fast!
I just have a couple questions related to this quest.
For the part where your sim has to hibernate in bed, could I use a baby since that option is available? Also, I have another sim that I put to bed in hibernation a while ago for a different quest, so if I do that will it work for both quests? The thing is, they will finish sleeping before the other task, but if I don’t visit that sim until the right time, will it still work?
I don’t think it will work for the dance quest since they are sleeping at a neighbours house, but in general I was wondering how that would work. Thanks!
You’re welcome!
Yes you can use a baby
It would work if they were already hibernating in your town but because it is at a neighbours it won’t work for this quest so you will need to put someone in your town to hibernate
UR A LIFESAVER!
do you use lps to complete the tasks?
some of them, yes
Can the pumpkins be grown early?
Yes you can
Can you grow the pumpkins early too
Yes you can
Why is this quest so long I mean 10 hrsamd 30 mins to just CHAT?! Jeez they must really want us to use LPS
I know!
Can you grow pumpkins early? You should still be able to go to that house too right because the action is not complete until you click on the plant picture. Right???
Yes you can’t
No it completes before you click on them so don’t go to that house before you get the goal to grow them or you will have to do it again
What percentage are you in the quest? What level are you on on the sims freeplay?
I have finished the quest
I am on level 39
It’s weird I was on the part when they visit the Villa and it skipped all the quest till I got on the grow pumpkins.😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
strange
Can you start the growing pumpkins task early?
Yes you can
Please forgive Me if this was asked or answered already I double checked if it was but did not find it. Do you know if I can start growing pumpkins early? Thank you! And I love your blog thank you for your time and effort you are my go to for any sim related questions 🙂
Yes you can
You’re welcome!
Hi, weightlessmagic! I just wonder if i can complete a long tasks earlier before they pop out? For example grow pumpkin (8 hours). I plant it earlier on a lot without accessing it and when the task pops out i click on the lot i wonder if the task will be completed?
Yes that will work
But pumpkins take 1 day not 8 hours
This quest hasn’t come though…….I’ve completed the New Years quest
>
You need to click on the dancers in the park
hi.
i finished the hibernate task but i cant find the car in the park. how can i get to the villa once again? 😲
you can’t get back there until you get a goal involving the villa
Hi,can I finish it without using Lps!!!!
Yes, if you start the hibernate tasks and grow pumpkins early you can do it easily in the time limit
My Sims left the villa. Now I can’t find the Fantasias to thank them! Any ideas?
Use the car at the park to get back to the villa
The car to take me to the villa has gone is there anyway for me to go to the villa without it
, if not where else will it be ?
have you got a goal to go to the villa? If not you can’t go there until it tells you to
My quest is to have 2 sims dance i keep making them dance and nothing happens am i doing this to early?
are you choosing the right option? it is the 3 second dance not the 10 second one
Thanks for your blog! I just started over Christmas and it’s been great to find out salary caps and tasks and how long they take. I’ve had no glitches yet for this quest, next task is to have 2×2 sims chat. Ugh I’d rather make more money in less time but yes to have that villa? Ok….
Why can’t I take pictures using the camer on the top left corner?
I don’t know, sorry!
Hello! For the first task where a sim hibernates (since you do it more than once) can you start it early, too? You didn’t write that, so I wasn’t sure. Thanks! 🙂
Yes you can, any task you can normally do can be started early.
I can’t believe how long the tasks have been for the Christmas, New Year & Dancing tasks have been – several have been 24hours! It’s crazy!
I know! I think they want us to spend our lives playing this game and doing nothing else
When the task about the cat.. Does the car ever show up? Because if it did I was wondering if I could take a picture of it because one of my weekly tasks tell me to do that(taking a picture of the cat).
no it doesn’t show up, sorry!
Ea needs to give people a break from goals
Yes they really do! Once you finish this quest the hobby is timed too, it never ends!
I have been trying to complete the broomstick hobby in the time limit, but with only one sim able to do it at a time and the “flight” times of 4.5 or 12.5 hours it’s just not going to happen.
Yes its difficult but the prize isn’t worth it anyway, its just a mop that moves around a bit and costs 888,888
I have not done the cooking quest, nor the breadwinner quest, am I going to be able to finish the Dance to Remember quest?
Yes, it should skip this task
What dose (can be started early) mean?
This post explains it in more detail: https://thegirlwhogames.wordpress.com/2014/11/11/the-sims-freeplay-starting-goals-early/
Thanks!
This is a long quest! Is it possible to complete in 7 days without using LPs? I really want the prize and can’t afford t obey LPs.
By the way, I think your blog is amazing!
Yes it is, if you start tasks such as both hibernate tasks and grow pumpkins early you should be fine!
Thanks!
Hello! I’m stuck on enthuse with another sim how do I do it.
you need a sim to select the interaction with another sim, try using 2 adults
Thank you for all of your help with the quests, but could you give some advice for timing? During which task would you suggest also setting up the hibernate task? Once you set the one sim up to wait on the park bench excitedly? Would that keep the tasks a little closer together?
I always put them on earlier than needed because I’m impatient 😛 so this isn’t going to finish exactly when you need it so just stay away from the house where they are doing the goals early until you get the goal
second hibernate I would set up when you read the spicy salsa book, you could do it when you wait on the bench but you will have to wait a few hours for it to complete once you get the goal
How can you earn more LP ??

Your fabulous page is my homepage i just want to thank you for every task and every goal you post
You helped me in this game alot i am in level 46 now and thats because of your help.
I just can’t connect it to facebook because i clicked “don’t allow”by fault once, and since i can’t reconnect.
Do u have any idea how could i solve this problem.
Thank u again ❤
You’re very welcome!
I’m glad I could help!
I think this might work but I don’t know for sure, if you go into facebook, click on account settings and click on app
You will see platform, instant personalization and so on
They either say on, enabled, or yours may say disabled or off, I think it might be platform- change that to on and it should work- hopefully!
After I sent my Sim to the park, my next task was to wait on a park bench excitedly (10 hours, 30 minutes). Wonder why they are different.
I have a question, on the little bubble above the dancers int he park it gives a little over view of the quest, it says that the quest unlocks the villa, and I was wondering if that means that you get to keep the villa! Also, I wondered if the “Latin” furniture that is in the villa, if that will come to the home store! Thanks, big fan if this blog:)
You unlock the villa if you complete the salsa dancing hobby in the time limit
I don’t think we get the furniture in the store though!
You’re welcome!
I never got a car at the park. Is there a way to restart the quest?
Are you on the goal to take the car to the villa? If you aren’t on a goal involving the villa you won’t be able to get there
And no, there is no way to restart the quest
No, I can’t even get them to enthuse to a friend.
you won’t get the car then until you get the goal to take the car to the villa.
can the sim who hibernates be a baby sim?
yes
What does starting early mean and how do i do it?
this post may help: https://thegirlwhogames.wordpress.com/2014/11/11/the-sims-freeplay-starting-goals-early/
So im on the part where im suppose to (Dance with another sim) but I cannot find the dancers. Or if I’m suppose to dance with any of my sims it isn’t working. I also see no red car in the park to go back to the villa. HELP 😦
You are meant to dance with another one of your sims, select the 3 second option, not the 10 second one
You can’t get back there until you get a goal involving the villa
Hi, is there a way to get the clothes that the dancers were wearing?
No, sorry!
When you say a task can be started early, does that mean you need to just start it at a time that will work out that it finishes not long after the task before it in the list is completed?
this post explains starting tasks early: https://thegirlwhogames.wordpress.com/2014/11/11/the-sims-freeplay-starting-goals-early/
In the eat A meal together task, where do you get “call to meal”? thanks!
like it says in the post, cook a meal, click on the plate and select call to meal.
When it says dance with another sim, I do it but it doesn’t compkete the task? Pls help???
are you choosing the right option? it is the 3 second dance not the 10 second one
My quest didn’t come .. 😦
you need to click on the dancers in the park
Does anyone else think this quest is a lot of work for a few rugs? Do we at least get to keep the villa?
Your blog has been really helpful, btw. Thanks.
Yes I do, especially when the rugs aren’t that great
You unlock the villa if you complete the salsa dancing hobby in the 7 day time limit, that hobby unlocks when you finish this quest
You’re welcome, I’m glad it helps!
Hi honey (love this site helped me get to level 53). I’m now stuck on this quest it is asking me to Dance with Another Sim, I have tried my married couple, dating couple, friends they all dance with each other but it doesn’t clear the goal. Also the task lasts for 10 seconds whereas your guide says 3 seconds what am I doing wrong?
You are selecting the wrong option, there is a 3 second option (the first interaction on the options list)
It’s not letting me read spicy salsa, it does not come up as an option on the bookcase
are you on that goal yet? are you using an adult sim?
