This guide is to help you decide which life dream you want your animal fanatic 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

Help…..please been on simms freeplay for two years, so you will understand this frustration …it’s crashed…won’t load keep going on and off….any ideas..to scared to delete reload.theres no updates either I have checked..please help
That is annoying
Have you tried restarting your device? You may need to contact EA to see if they can help or you could wait for the next update to come out to see if that fixes the issue
My sims don’t have life dreams. Am I doing something wrong? Or do I just do those actions and get a pop up saying i completed it?
You need to complete the life dreams and legacies quest first.
I want to play frisbee with a dog- 9 hours
I cant complete the above goal. I’ve selected the 9hrs option, however it always end the job halfway, and doesn’t advance the life dreams. Do you have any solutions to this?
you need to stay away from that house until they have completed the goal or it will usually stop halfway through

Hello. I have a toddler I want to choose the parrot option for. But every time I hit “not now” there aren’t any new options. Is there something I’m doing wrong?
Is your toddler definitely an animal fanatic?
Which item do you use for the fish options? Do you have to have a fish tank to do these goals? I haven’t purchased the pack.
Yes you need a fish tank
Hi! I selected this goal for my senior: I want to teach a bird on a perch to talk by chatting with it- 9 hours
Where can I find a bird on a perch? Thanks in advance!
If you completed the bird feeding quest in time you would have unlocked a pet bird if not complete the bird feeding hobby for the first time to unlock the parrot in a cage, they can both be found in the pet tab in buy mode once unlocked.
Hi. 🙂 When it says horse hobby show jumping, can it be any horse hobby? ( horse tricks or vaulting)? Thanks
Yes you can do any, but I would do showjumping as it is the longest
Where can you get the fish?
I think the only way to get fish is by buying them from the online store.
Great blog, you have saved me a few times. How do invest my senior to do the bird feeding session at the snow park? I can’t find a bench or birds to feed there
have you done the bird feeding hobby before? if not you need to start and unlock all birds at the park, then swim center, community center before you get to use the bench at the snow park
Why are there so many life dreams listed for the age groups when only 3 show up to choose from? I think I’m getting confused. And also, can you complete a life dream in one life stage or does it do a little at each stage. Thanks so much! Love your blog. It really is a life saver.
It depends on what items/ places you have unlocked in simtown, but you have to click not now to see more options.
It does a little at each stage
You’re welcome! Thanks!
where would the parrots be? im not on the quest, but when i wanna do it i would like to know where it is
complete the bird feeding hobby to unlock the parrot
I was wondering if u have details on how many life orbs each area in the places need? Like the Ferris wheel in the carnival? And so on
This post may help: https://thegirlwhogames.wordpress.com/2015/02/05/the-sims-freeplay-how-many-orbs-are-required/
Thank you! I couldn’t find this!
I can’t find the fairies i bought
they will be in a flower by the mailbox at the house you placed them at.
Hello! I have the play frisbee goal but it doesn’t show up on any dog I have in town. Do I need a certain level of dog?
no, you need to buy a frisbee from the pet section of the home store, place it in a house with a dog and click on the frisbee to play with the dog
