This post will list weekly tasks, how to do them and explain how the mystery box shop works and what you are likely to get in the boxes.
Weekly tasks are tasks you complete to unlock keys that you can use to buy prizes from the mystery box shop, click on active goals then on the green gift button as shown below:
You can skip a goal with 10LP if you are unable to complete it.
The bar at the bottom shows you how long you have to complete the weekly tasks before the next week starts and how many tasks you have completed so far (when you get to each symbol you get a reward- read the mystery box shop part of this post for more information)
If you click on the picture of the gift it will open up the mystery box shop, there you can buy boxes or see how many keys you have.
This is an incomplete list of weekly tasks, I will keep updating it but if you have any that I haven’t listed please comment with the time it takes and I will add it.

Can you complete weekly tasks in a neighboring town? I need to take a selfie at the campgrounds but I don’t have the lookout unlocked yet. I tried it in a neighboring town and it didn’t recognize it. I wasn’t sure if this was a glitch or standard.
No, weekly tasks have to be completed in your own town, you can only complete social tasks at a neighbours.
Is the mystery box the only way to obtain the black cat painting? (I assume it is the same one seen in the wizard’s house in Book of Spells)
Complete the Ghost Hunters Quest to unlock the black cat painting.
Omgg thank you soooo much, you have helped me a lot!! Buuuuuut I have a question! How do I play frisbee with the dog? I have a puppy, I bought the frisbee, click on it with the dog, without him and nothing..please help!! Thank you
You need an adult dog, not a puppy to be able to do this.
Ohhh thank you sooo much!! I will try it
i have completed only 5 tasks and all of them are for about 20 hours . This is unfair, how can one complete 20 tasks if every task takes a day? Have you faced that problem?
Unfortunately that is just what happens sometimes, you have been unlucky this week and got all the long tasks, maybe next time you will get mostly short tasks!
One thing you can do in the gardening section is grow and harvest a crop and I did bell peppers which is free and takes 30 seconds 💚 Hope this helps
How do I max out a sims fun, in the weekly mystery box pleaset.
Grow bell peppers to quickly fill up the fun need.
I have a task to “buy a tree” I’ve purchased 3-4 of the ones I have unlocked and nothing the task remains? Is there a specific tree I need to buy?
There may be a glitch on this goal where it isn’t recognising the task as being complete, you could either contact EA and let them know about this issue, skip with LPs or wait for the next update to the game as the task will complete when you update.
i’ve a task to spend my lp, should i spend it?
If you want to! This post here may help if you want to earn some more LPs: https://thegirlwhogames.wordpress.com/2015/01/14/the-sims-freeplay-how-do-i-have-so-many-lps/
As first task of this week, a toddler should play with building blocks. Building blocks cost 12 LPs >:(. I really don’t want to spend 12 LPs on blocks or 10 LPs to skip the task. If I choose not to work on weekly task this week, will they reset for next week? Or will they be the same? Thanks in advance. I 💗 your blog
They will be the same until the next update for the game is released, as then the goal you are currently on is completed automatically.
This post may help if you want to earn some LPs: https://thegirlwhogames.wordpress.com/2015/01/14/the-sims-freeplay-how-do-i-have-so-many-lps/
Thanks!
One of my tasks is to build a fireplace. (Cant see it here) Is there only one that you have to use lifestyle points to get?
Apparently you can buy a furnace to complete this task, it doesn’t have to be a fireplace costing LPs.
Hi! Your blog is so helpful ❤ If you still want to update this post, I also had: Listen an album on mp3 player (preteen, 34 minutes). Spend 3000 on lightning and send 5 sims to work. 🙂
Thank you!
Hello, I want your opinion on something. My current social task is to Practice Auctioneering with a neighbors auctioneer podium. Well none of my neighbors have one. Do you think I should just spend the 10lp? I’ve been stuck on it for a week or so, but I’m fairly new at the game and 10lp is ALOT to me.
(I hope I’m posting this in the right place:/) ty 😂
You could skip with LPs, this post may help if you need to earn some: https://thegirlwhogames.wordpress.com/2015/01/14/the-sims-freeplay-how-do-i-have-so-many-lps/ or you could add another neighbour who has an auction podium, there are lots of players who need neighbours on this page: https://thegirlwhogames.wordpress.com/neighbour-requests/
In the fortune box one of the standard prizes says “1 file” what is that?
It is a chisel? If so this is used to upgrade a monument on the mysterious island.
Hi, I have a weekly task to “make a preteen sim have a nap at the park” but whichever park bench I try to use it says that my sim is not the appropriate age and that I should use an adult sim. Am I missing something here? Thanks for you help.
I don’t know why that isn’t working, it should do! Do you have another preteen you can try with?
I got a weekly goal to buy a dog for a sim.
Thanks!
How do I get my items once I submit for the fortune box?
What items can’t you find? Items like furniture will be in your inventory
Hi, wondering if you could help me, i have trouble completing this task “Make a meal on the stove”, i tried cooking all the options available to me on the cooking tab of the stove and on different stoves, nothing seems to work
You need to click on baking and select something from that list, for example, cookies to complete this task.
I had “have 4 sims browsing the internet” for my weekly goal!
Thanks!
To add to your list: I have play a harp as a weekly goal. It is frustrating, because I have built the castle, but am not through with the archery yet, so I can’t get to the harp! Thanks for this wonderful resource!
How annoying! I’ve never had that one before!
I got a really specific one this time… “grow garlic between 8pm and 6am”
Thanks!
how do I complete the goal “use a sims barbecue to make breakfast between 6and 10am
Just make anything on a BBQ between 6 and 10am
How should I complete the event speculate 3 sims between 9am to 12pm
Get 3 sims to select the option on a chair between 9am and 12pm
My social task was to have a sim on hold with tech support on a neighbor’s phone. I just happened to have a pre teen sim there already so i had her on hold for over 5 hours but it didn’t work. Does it have to be an adult or is there something wonky with my game?
It will probably need to be an adult, if that still doesn’t work this may be a glitch where the game isn’t recognising the task as complete.
Hey my weekly quest is to buy a dog, but i’ve already bought it and the quest won’t finish. Is it because the dog is a puppy, and not an adult dog? Thanks
I think you need to buy an adult dog to complete this, not a puppy.
Do you know how to complete this weekly task, “Test the Dept at the Campgrounds’ Lookout”?, do i do it at the ‘Deer Spring Falls Lookout’, because mine is currently locked, i’m still doing the 7 day survivalist hobby. Thanks
You will be able to do this once you have completed the survivalist hobby and built the rest of the campgrounds, you need to build the deer spring falls lookout for this: https://thegirlwhogames.blog/2015/07/03/the-sims-freeplay-guide-to-the-campgrounds/
Hi! As a sidenote….I am so grateful for this blog! I come to it often whenever I am stuck on something in the game. I also love the fact that you now have videos, for I am more of a visual person. I wanted to let you know I have had two weekly tasks that I don’t see listed if you are still updating this post, which are have 4 sims employed as an athlete & have a romantic ride in a canoe ( 1 hour, 30 minuets) (You need to be in the campground with two sims & you first select “Wait for a canoe buddy”, which is 10 minuets. You don’t have to wait that long, you can just select another sim that is the campground, then select the canoe again & then select the” Romantic Ride” option. I did find this one a little misleading because in the description, It does make you think you have to have two sims who are “romantically involved”but you don’t have to. You can use any sim who can use the canoe.) Thanks once again for this blog!!
Thanks for this! And you’re very welcome, I’m glad it helps! 🙂
How do you perform a spiral spill on the diving board???
This is one of the medals you win diving so you will need to keep diving until you find that medal so do the 10 minute option over and over and you should find it quicker!
Hi, I got ‘Neo Tokyo Dining Table’ as prize. But i’m not finding it anywhere. Where it’ll be??
It will probably be in the dining room section of your inventory.
Hi I love your blog! I just got a weekly task “Teach a teen to drive” 5 hours. Took me ages to figure it out as you have to have an adult sim drive with them and you can’t use an expensive car. I had to use the silver sedan, wouldn’t work with my other cars that I have. Hope this is useful for you. Thanks for all your hard work on here. X
Thanks for that! 🙂 I have used an expensive car for this before and it worked, did you definitely have an adult sim there?
You’re welcome!
I also had: “Have 4 sims playing SimCity” (Using a number of sims) and “Play with a tea set” (Toddler).
And thank you so much for your blog, it’s always been helpful! Keep up the very great work!
Thanks for those and you’re welcome!
Hello my name is Anusha, when I purchased the loot box, I got a pearl. What is it and what is used for exactly? Could you please delete my other comment? Thank you, and I’m a huge fan of your blog. Also does EA sponsor you?
The pearl is a resource used to upgrade one of monuments on the mysterious island and I have deleted your other comment. You’re welcome!
No, EA don’t sponsor me for this blog.
No, I meant does EA sponsor you for the game not the blog. Also thank you for making this blog it really helps! If I’m stuck on a quest or something that I go to your blog for help. Thank you, I am greatly appreciated.
No, they don’t sponsor me for anything, I don’t work for them.
You’re welcome!
I had “Start a career as a firefighter”.
Thanks!
Hey! The task is “Call granny/grandma” (my game version is French, easier for me when it gets complicated, even if the English version seems nicer,…)
I tried with a sim adult and a teen, do he or she has to actually have a grandma to call her? It showed “call mom” but he doesn’t have one… Any thoughts?
Otherwise I’ll just skip it. Thank you for all the time you put on this site!!! I see the work but also the creativity, the way you put the content all together it’s really great and easy to read and find what I look for. Huuuuuge thanks. Will certainly contribute $ as soon as I can. X 😊
For this task you need a preteen sim as only they will get this option on a phone.
You’re very welcome! 🙂
Hi
I have a question!
I’m currently stuck with a weekly task “buy a 3 star toilet” which is on level 13. I’m level 12 and the weekly time limit will expire after an hour or so.
I won’t be able to finish the weekly task within the time limit so what will happen? And is it going to reset the time limit next week or I will have to wait for the next update?🤕
Thank you.
The time limit will restart but the task will remain until they bring out the next update, once you update it will complete that goal for you without you having to buy the toilet.
I love the new mystery boxes! So many cool items, new furniture, outfits…
Me too!
Hey 🙂 you’re a really helpful source for sims hehe ty! And also I’d like to make a request… could you do an update on loot boxes? Ever since the new 2017 Penthouse update the loot boxes are wayyy different now. The uncommon items are really cool but it says “unlock” does that mean that i would need to purchase a pack from the online store before recieving it in the loot boxes??? Cheers!
I have updated this post since the change 🙂 it will be locked because you don’t have enough keys yet, collect more keys and they will unlock
I had “Take a selfie at the Campgrounds’ lookout”
Thanks!
Hello. Love your blog. Am I the only one a but disappointed that the mystery boxes no longer give LP and SP like they used to before this update? I feel like the game is trying to make more and more money off of VIP, LP and SP.
I just bought the Bounty Box but I cannot find any of the items in my inventory or new items tab. Just wondered if you have any suggestions as to what I need to do. Thank you!
What sort of items were in it?
I remember a Latin oven, essence of wind, and pearls but I found none of these. Several items said unlock at the bottom.
The essence of wind and pearls are resources used to build the monuments on the island so you will not find these in your inventory. Is the latin oven available to buy in the store? It may say in the furniture section the first one is free.
Hi! When you purchase a Fortune box does it remove the prizes from the pool of future prizes so you won’t receive the same prizes repeatedly?
It depends what they are, if you earn simoleons or resources for monuments or something then you will earn those again but you won’t unlock prizes you unlock before such as the spa template or a hairstyle as you already have access to it.
Thank you!
I thought I’d share what I got in my Fortune Box:

9. MPFreeplayer
10. Executive Lazyboy

You’re welcome!
Thank you for the information on this blog and the continued upkeep of it! I’ve made several comments over the last several months but I don’t think I’ve ever thanked you for it so I just wanted to make sure you know that you are appreciated! =)
You’re very welcome! 🙂
I had “Toss and turn in a sleeping bag”.
Thanks!
in my sims freeplay i also got tasks for my adult sims to play soccer and for my teens to write in their diary, i can tell you more tasks after i get them if that’s okay with you. take care.
Thanks, that would be great if you don’t mind 🙂
I had “Have 10 sims gardening at once” and “Bake with the stove”.
thanks!
I had “Start a career as an artist”, “Bring a toddler into a pool” and “Dig for treasure 10 times”
Thank you again!
Not really digging the update to the mystery boxes. No more LPs or SPs as prizes. With risking having tasks that require spending LPs and the months it takes to acquire keys for the best box, it’s just not worth it anymore. Not even for the measly 3Lps half way through the course. Guess I have more time to do other things lol
I had “Have a toddler play with building blocks” and “Start a career as an athlete”.
Thanks again!
Thank you, Stoney, for pointing that out! I hate the new update to the mystery boxes! I’m not on Facebook so it’s nearly impossible to get sp’s!
So frustrated with this change that I hardly play anymore… But I want this new wedding house :b bah!! anyway, Thanks so much weightlessmagic! Your blog is da BEST! And I must say your so diligent on answering or replying to comments!! Keep up the good work!
You’re welcome and thanks!
What happened to the 10 key box?
They updated the mystery boxes and removed the 10 key box.
How do get a teen to read epic fantasy trilogy??
You will find the option on a normal bookcase, not the preteen bookcase.
