This guide is to help you decide which life dream you want your sporty sim to have at each life stage, in the tables below you can see the life dream, how to complete it and the percentage the bar will increase each time for each orb you are working towards.
Times may vary depending on the star rating an item has and whether or not your sim is inspired but these don’t affect the percentage increase

Life Dreams & Legacies FAQs – Guide to Life Dreams and Orbs
The Girl Who Games 
Thank you! Super helpful. I’ve found the longer options for some of the personalities/life stages, but not all and a list is a great reference.
You’re welcome!
To generate life orbs, esspecially the sporty, geek and entertain one, I would always create an adult sims directly, choose the do job option(eg scientist) and send them to work every day. After work, it is all about gardening. When become adult, I would choose for him to sleep or gardening. Whether it is the least time consuming, i dont know. However, you dont need to worry much about how long open the game once( The game is getting boring in this point). Also, it shall be the most effective with generating simoleons. Dont get what you want on life dream menu? Just tap not now and try again and again. It must appear
I hope you do this with the other life goals. This is very helpful!
I am working on the other two now, they will be up as soon as possible!
Two minor corrections/additions:
For the adults Relaxing Skate dream, you can actually do ANY of the skating options. They all count. I really like choosing this one, because it gives so much flexibility in terms of time. If I know I can check the game several times an hour, I choose the short option and collect trophies. If I’m going to be away, I choose the longer options. It’s one of the easiest dreams for this reason.
For the elders dancing to stereo, if you have the cheapest stereo, the Kids option is 6 hours, not 5 hours. That makes it a little bit better for leaving the sims dancing overnight or while aphid are at school/work.
Thanks for the skating information, I have updated that now
As for the stereo it does say that the time varies depending on the star rating an item has.
Hi! When I chose “go diving” as a preteen life dream the bubble indicating you are fulfilling a life dream was not available at the swim center diving boards or at the diving boards at my houses. I am wondering if “go diving” means diving at the beach instead of diving in a pool. Do you have any insight?
You can definitely complete it at the swim center, are you sure you have set diving as the life dream?
Yes. For an adult it worked fine but for the preteen “go diving” did not work. Maybe it was a glitch. ; / Thanks!
It definitely works for a preteen too, that is the sporty life dream I do for a preteen as you only have to do the 1 day dive once to complete it.
It must be a glitch, have you tried doing it as a life dream and seeing if it completes anyway?
Forgot to say how much your site has helped! It is now my go to page for Sims info…THANKS!
I’m glad it helps! You’re welcome!
I’ve never had a sim with a life dream and I am on level 25
you need to complete the life dreams and legacies quest first.
Hi, I have “sporty Preteen” whose dream is “I want go diving! I want to get as good as Jacques Simsteau so one day I can dive 20000 leagues under the Simsea!” I don’t really know what to do. When I’m at diving center there is no life dream icon on any of diving options.
It will still work, just select the all day dive
With me, the life dream icon started to appear after my sim reched level two in the diving hobby 🙂
Iv clicked on the practice to train computer video sports but wen I click on the lap top it dosnt give me that option
you can see which is the right option if it has the life dreams symbol on it
I was just wondering if you knew if you have 2 sims that you select “talk about sports” and have them talk to each other, would it only count towards one of them or both of them?
I think it only counts for the one who selects the action to talk
[…] – Sporty – […]
[…] – Sporty – Animal […]
[…] Sporty – Entertainer – Animal Fanatic […]
I’m sorry if someone has said this before, but you can also practice figure skating at home, as long as you have a pool and a weather machine. Just make it snow and your frozen pool turns into an ice rink :]

Where’s the beach? How can my teen sim surf?
you need to build it with orbs.
on a rocking horse the only options that come up are Rock Out, Play Cowboys, and Rescue Damsel. what would Race be?
just select any option.
can you still create a pet farm?
no as you can only have 2 pets per household now.
