This guide is to help you decide which life dream you want your geeky sim to have at each life stage, I would always go for the longest life dreams just as you don’t have to be on the game constantly but unless it states the option to choose you can pick any option on that object! If there is a life dream that you are unsure of how to complete it this guide also shows you what item to use and which option to select.
Please note: times may vary depending on the star rating an item has and I haven’t included how much the bar increases by each time as it depends on what level orb you are working towards.

This is fabulous! I am bookmarking it. I have been meaning to do this for myself. Thank you!
thanks! you’re welcome!
This is fantastic! This makes it so much easier to pick a life dream rather than tapping on each item in the house to see how long the action would take. Thank you!
Thanks! You’re welcome!
I just want to say, your blog is awesome. So helpful and always has the information I need to know. Thank you for using all your personal time to ensure we have everything we need to know about this fun game! You rock!
Thanks! I’m glad it helps
You’re very welcome!
Thank you for posting Sporty and Geeky ones! Is there any way to find Entertainer and Animal lover ones as well?
Yes they will be up soon!
If you choose the work like dream (scientist for geek, actor for entertainer, etc.), they earn as much life dream xp as the 1 day options, but in fewer hours (4-8). Which leaves the rest of the day for them to do other tasks.
I found that the “make fan movies” is not worth your time, it only filled my progression bar by 5% whereas the objectives that involve sending them to work moved me up 11%. Granted, you can only send them to work once a day, but with my movie making Sim getting only 10% over 22 hours of activity, it really doesn’t seem worth it.

All of the other bed options, longest is hibernate, count towards the “I want to pretend I am in a crygononic sleep in a spaceship bed” life dream.
So they do, which means there is no reason at all for the cryogenics option on the bed, thanks for letting me know
You are welcome.
Thank you sooo much for this!!!
But, since I’m on level 25, can I start this right now? Or do I have to wait until the Life and Legacies quest is complete?
You’re welcome, you have to complete the life dreams quest first
If I have two seniors that have fulfilled their life dreams …. It states that I will need to send them to the after life in order to pass on their orbs. How do I do that ??
