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

Hi how to go back my sim to house of fantasia’s? 😦 Help me plesss 🙏
if you have finished the quest you can’t get back, if not you have to wait until you get a goal to go to the villa and then use the car at the park to get there.
All of my sims have left the villa. How do I get back??!
if you have finished the quest you can’t get back, if not you have to wait until you get a goal to go to the villa and then use the car at the park to get there.
I never saw the cat that my sim was supposed to rescue in park……??
you don’t see the cat.
My sims are unable to “enthuse” after watching the salsa sims dance. . Any suggestions?
are you using 2 adult sims?
Yes I used two adults and it doesn’t give me the option to enthuse
you may need to contact EA then to see if they can fix this issue for you.
I am on the task to have my sim dance with another sim after being hilarious and I have had them dance several times and the task is not showing complete???
select the 3 second option, not the 10 second one.
Hi. I’ve completed the quest and bought the jukebox but can’t place it. It just says limited object. Please help
make sure you are placing the one in the hobby section of your inventory
Hi, I clicked on ‘not now’ then bought the jukebox at the store when I was ready to start the salsa hobby. When I try to place it somewhere it appears as a ‘limited object’ in my inventory. Any idea on how to start the hobby? Thanks.
I don’t know why it says that, are you sure you are looking at the one in your inventory? not the one in the featured section?
I didn’t complete the dancing quest what to do now will it come back
if you started the quest you will be on it until you finish it, it doesn’t disappear after the time is up
I have two sims that I keep trying to get married. But she keeps saying no… it tells me to try again later and she might say yes. But will she just keep saying no forever? I’m tired of wasting all my lp on her rings!
I would always use the most expensive ring (10Lps), they usually say no to all the others

I can’t find the chessboard anywhere in the park! Help please!!!!!

How do I get to the villa
use the car at the park
I can’t eat hors d’oeuvres because I can’t get inside villa. All I see is the roof. Please help.
you will need to contact EA to see if they can fix this issue for you.
How do I contact EA?

The same thing happened to me so i just clicked the house and it says explore villa and click on it . After action finishes you restart your device go back to game and then you should be able to see the inside of the house .
Can you use a baby to hibernate? (Then all my adults can be earning money)
yes
I’m making a baby hibernate too !!!
I’m trying to do the “dance with another sim” part of this quest, but no matter it doesn’t recognize it. I made the two sims that had the joke dance together (social interaction) and have them dance together (via a stereo). Do you have any insight?
are you doing the 3 second option, don’t select the 10 second option, that won’t work
i am having the same problem. I cannot find the 3 second option with my sims. do you have to use a specific sim or be in a specific location?
It is the first option
Try using 2 adult sims in the park
When u finish this how long and where does the next one pop up?
straight away
HOW DO I RETURN TO THE VILLA TO COMPLETE ON OF THE TASKS
use the car at the park
Where can you get the stereo?
You can buy a stereo from the electronics section
I’m trying to do the Villa task but it skipped the explore Villa task and went straight to eat hors D’oeures I can’t get in the house. Any ideas?
you will need to contact EA to see if they can fix this issue for you.
I’ve had the same problem and submitted a request for assistance on this issue
Is there some secret on how to “enthuse to a sim about dancers”. It’s not an option no matter what I do. I completely closed the app and restarted it already.
not really, maybe using the sim who watched the dancers and another adult sim?
Hi, this is really unrelated to the post but just wanted to ask that when is the shopping mall update going to come?
thank you for your answer, i just cant wait!!!
the update is out now!
I used a senior to watch the dancers… They won’t “enthuse” to another sim. Now I’m stuck. Help!
try two adults?
i started this quest with a teenager and now he doesn’t have the option to “enthuse” about dancers to anyone. am i stuck?
have you tried with two adults instead?
I have this issue. I used a senior Sim – that could be why. However, it won’t allow anyone else to watch them, and now I’m stuck.
have you contacted EA about this problem?
I am on the dance quest but was never told to explore the villa so cannot move forward with it, any ideas on how to fix it?
is the quest still in your goal tab? if it is you should be able to continue
if not, you will need to contact EA so they can fix it.
I would suggest contacting EA about this issue as it’s one that keeps cropping up, something that I’ve had problems with as well.
The goal im on is dance with another sim but every time I try it doesn’t work. Do I need to be at the villa if so how and where is the red car in the park it has disappeared
Select the 3 second option, not the 10 second one.
In this quest I am up to Be Hilarious to an other Sim I can’t seem to get that option what do I do?
are you using two adult sims?
I am having problem with this quest…so that dancers from the begining they was in park but when I was doing a tasks in villa they are not there in the villa,the problem is that i cant make my sim fance with jukebox or anything else beacuse dancers are not in the villa.please helppppp
go back to the park, only have one sim at the park, then get them to go to the villa again-hopefully they will appear, or you can restart your device and see if that helps
Thank you that helps a lot!
You’re welcome!
How to get back to villa
The red car has dissapeared 😑
if you aren’t on a goal that involves the villa you won’t be able to get there
In this quest /i have to have a sim dance to a stereo . My friend told me that you have to go to the villa to do that. Is that corret? Also I can’t find the car to the villa at the park. What do I do?
no you do that at home, and you can’t go to the villa unless the goal requires you to be there
I have 3 couples trying to salsa dance, but it will only let 2 couples dance. The 3rd couple only gets the “observe” and “wait for partner” options, not the 1.5 and 3.5 hour “dancing” options. I’ve enlarged the area several times so there should be more than enough room for everyone…help!
I could only get two couples to dance too.
hey im from turkey so i can’t write cleary. i hope so you can understand me. i’ve got a question about “have 5 sims at a villa” i’ve got a 3 sims my town and i went them at a villa. they are a total of 5 sims with salsa dancers. but the task isn’t complete. what do i do? should i add more 2 sims in my town?
Yes you need to add 2 more sims to your town

I replied to you already, you have to add 2 more sims.
Do you get the cat for free if you rescue it????
No you don’t keep the cat
Hello, has anybody experienced a glitch which makes you do the Explore the Villa 2 times, because that happened to me.
that’s annoying, did it work the second time?
This happened to me too!
Are you going to post the sunset mall quest?
https://thegirlwhogames.wordpress.com/2015/01/27/the-sims-freeplay-the-sunset-mall-quest/
If I don’t finish the quest in time, can I still buy the rugs?
no sorry you can’t
How do I go back to the villa to thank them?
use the car at the park.
So now I have the villa. Is there a way to put a sim in it or can you just go there from the park and visit it? I know I can build one on one of the lots but it seems a waste not to use the villa for something.
if you build the villa you can then put a sim in it to live in, you can only visit the one from the park.
Do you have to pay for the Villa ☺😊😀😁😂😃😄😅😆😇😈😉😯😐😑😕😠😬😡😢😴😮😣😤😥😦😧😨😩😰😟😱😲😳😵😶
you don’t get to keep the villa in this quest
you unlock the villa to buy if you complete the salsa dancing hobby in the time limit.
How can I get to the villa?
using the car at the park.
On sims free play on my Android phone when I go to the villa to apologize the dancers are not there to apologize. Why?
they might still be in the park, leave the villa and restart your device, send a sim to the villa using the car at the park- hopefully they will be there now.
Can I stop this stupid quest?? its so long and nothing good at the end – I would rather be doing the oceanside quest
You can leave it for now if you want but if you haven’t done book of spells or the mall quest yet you can’t do either of those until you do this one. Ocean view quest isn’t the same type of quest so you can still do it (once previous quests have been completed)
My sims won’t enthuse 😦
There’s no ‘enthuse’ option when I click on another sim.
Has this happened to anyone else??
This has happened to many people, usually if they have started off the quest with a sim of the wrong age they don’t get this option
If two adult sims can’t enthuse I think you should contact EA to see if they can fix this for you.
please help my sims cant cheer on to the jukebox 😞
are the fantasias there? If not you will need to leave the villa, have one sim in the park, then close your game, open it again and send the sim at the park to the villa using the car, hopefully they should be at the villa now so you can cheer them on
How i go back villa house agn? I cant find thier house … I cant continue this mission..How to let sims go villa house again ? 😔
You need to use the car at the park.
Thank you ☺️
you’re welcome!
When I started this quest there was a list of things that would be unlocked. One of the things listed was “dance lighting”. I’m very curious to know what “dance lighting” is. Do you know if it is a disco ball or a strobe light or just dim lighting in a room?
Thank you for your assistance.
I love your website. It is very informative and helpful. You are quite brilliant! Thank you!
You unlock those once the breakdancing hobby is completed, this post shows you a picture of the lights: https://thegirlwhogames.wordpress.com/2015/01/11/the-sims-freeplay-hobbies-breakdancing/
You’re welcome!
Thanks!
How do I know if you received my comment? I don’t see it in your list of comments.
Thank you.
Comments have to be moderated before they are posted so that I can keep track and reply to them.

I am stuck trying to get two sims to dance after being hilarious with each other. They have all danced together, they’ve danced to three different stereos…. It doesn’t give me an option to skip.
it is an interaction so one sim clicks on another sim, select the 3 second dance option and it will complete.
When I finished the task I don’t find where to bought jukebox. I search everywhere. I use the Sims freeplay for android
it can be found in promotions r us store or the featured section of buy mode: https://thegirlwhogames.wordpress.com/2015/01/07/the-sims-freeplay-hobbies-salsa-dancing/
