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.

How do you complete a single customer request from a profession workplace for weekly tasks?
Have you built one of the profession workplaces? Police, Movie Studio or Hospital? Once you have send a sim to work there and they can help the sims that enter with bubbles above their heads, complete one of the tasks to complete this goal: https://thegirlwhogames.blog/2016/07/24/the-sims-freeplay-guide-to-profession-careers/
I have gone to a neighbors house 4 times, with 4 different sims to perform the task “use a neighbors phone to be on hold to tech support” but still nothing. Why??? I don’t understand. I want to keep going with my social tasks but I can’t…..HELP!!!!!! LyndaLynne
Sometimes tasks fail to recognise that they have been completed, you may want to contact the makers and let them know about this glitch so they can fix it for the next update, this post explains how to contact them if you are unsure: https://thegirlwhogames.blog/2016/05/29/the-sims-freeplay-contacting-ea-firemonkeys/
So I had a fortune box and I got The Sims Town Spa or something like that as a template… How do I place it into my town? Thank you!
🙂
This is a premade house so you add it the same way you add any house, click on an empty house lot and you will find the spa in the list of templates that appear.
How to do the fashion design quest?
You need to buy a fashion studio from the promotions r us store
If you win a rare item from the Fortune Box, does it get deleted from the prize pool? Or can you still win it next time?
If it is a prize you unlock then you won’t win it again for example outfits, these will be available for your sims to wear once you unlock them so you won’t win them again.
Weekly quest
Take a selfie at the mall near the fountain.
Thanks!
I know after doing weekly tasks you get 1 key reward I was looking at the Vip perks and on most of the lists it says 1 key. Does that mean when a vip let’s say vip15 does their weekly tasks they will get more than 1 key?
Once you reach vip level 3 you will earn one key but you only get one for each vip level, if you got more than one it will be at the top of that vip level and say +1 next to it.
Hey! I love your guide-I use it all the time! I recently got the highest level mystery box, and saw I’d gotten ‘outfits’ in there. But I can’t find them anywhere?! Checked wardrobes, checked the shop, and checked for each age/sex of sim…I’m pretty gutted and not sure what to do! Any help would be great thank you!
Thanks! Its hard to tell you where to find them without knowing what they are so what outfits did you unlock?
I came across a task that wasn’t listed yet! “Plan a trip at the campgrounds” – it takes 2 hours 20 minutes.
Thanks!
did the weekly boxes get updated? about a couple of months ago, you could collect up to 10 keys i think. When you got the highest box, you also got like 20 LPs. Now with this new mistery box ( max of 6 keys ) you get no LPs. was that an update?
Yes they updated it.
I won outfits once from a mystery box but can’t find them anywhere, where should I look?
It depends what the outfits are, if you let me know what you won I can tell you where to find them.
Can you get any single item twice with any of the boxes? Or does it start repeating itself when you’ve received everything? I know you can get money or resources twice, but I mean like actual furniture and those kinds of items.
Well I suppose it would be possible to get a free wardrobe or something when you have already unlocked it but I don’t know for sure, sorry!
Why can I not figure out how to practice painting in a neighbors town? Please.
Your neighbour needs to own an easel then you will get the option on it to practice painting.
Great blog! Do you have a list of rare items or know someone that does? Thanks!
Thanks! Unfortunately it would be almost impossible to get this list together as the prizes are different for everyone as most of them were prizes previously awarded in quests or events.
How do you go to the mystery box shop?
Click on active tasks and on the weekly task there will be a green button that flashes between the gift symbol and the words ‘mystery box shop’, click this to get there.
I am unable to complete the task “Max out needs, inspire a sim”. Tried all day with different sims,eating, coffee, toilet, shower, phone, looking at a nice painting. Also over and over again with the same sim. No effect at all. Any hint, please?
Max out needs means fill up all needs so have you filled them all for one sim?
Thank you weightlessmagic for your reply. Their need are most definitely filled. The sims that I have tried to max out are pumped up with food, coffee, been to the bathroom, taken a shower etc. like I descibed above. I am an experienced player, and have always managed to complete this task before.
I am wondering if it is a bug of some kind, and would like to hear if others have been able to complete it this time.
Sorry but I had to check as some people don’t know what that task means, if it hasn’t completed it then it probably is a glitch, I haven’t heard of anyone else having a problem with this task yet but you could let the makers know about the issue so they can look into fixing it for you.
I have bought a mystery box but i didn’t get anything that said unlock. How do you unlock those items? Please help…
What did you win?
ughhhh….I collected keys for the longest time and got up to 9, then they updated it and you can’t get anymore lps and the prizes aren’t that amazing.
I got a quest to stargaze with a neighbor’s telescope but my neighbor doesn’t have a telescope; also why is your name weightlessmagic (not to be nosy)? Plus, I have two keys; should I buy the loot box, get one more key and get the bounty box, or save up and get the fortune box? The items in the fortune box for me are pretty cool; what should I do? (sorry i have 3 questions).
If they don’t have a telescope then you will have to add someone who does or skip the task with LP
Honestly I don’t know why I picked it, I just liked it!
I would recommend you save up for a fortune box if you think the prizes look good 🙂
Hi. How do I play frisbee with my dog?
You need to buy a frisbee from the pet section of buy mode and place it in the house with your dog then select the option on it to play frisbee.
Hi! How do I max out a sim’s fun?
Do a task that increases your sims fun need until its full, for example grow bell peppers on the garden patch to complete this quickly
I’m still working on building my monuments. Which mystery box would you recommend for maximum efficiency for collecting monuments pieces?
You will be best of buying the bounty box that costs 3 keys as you should earn the most monument items
Thank you!
i recently got the fortune box with some furniture & doors also an outfit. but i cant find the outfit its not in store or in wardrobe it was a long skirt with a long button shirt & a headscarf i think
I haven’t seen that outfit before, have you tried looking in outfits for a teenage sim?
I’m having trouble with’ take a couples photo at the mall’ – Its a two person task one person waits at photo booth for partner then select couples photo with second sim. I’ve tries different ages, different relationships. Seems to work , can;t get the weekly task to complete – any suggestions?
This may be a glitch, if it still isn’t completing the task I would suggest you contact the makers to see if they can fix this for you, this post explains how to do that if you are unsure: https://thegirlwhogames.blog/2016/05/29/the-sims-freeplay-contacting-ea-firemonkeys/
Can you get a task with a baby/toddler/preteen/teen if you don’t have one walking around in your simtown?
Yes you can
I thought,that the weekly task will reset at the end of the week.I can’t do one part, because i don’t have 2 preteens and don’t want use 10 LPs.I thought, that when will be new weekly task it will begin with new goal and not with the last one I’m not able to do.
The progress to getting a key resets but the goals don’t change this only happens when they bring out a new update, the goal you were on will complete.
I recently got ‘Have a teen talk to their best friend on the phone’ – 9h30mins, couldn’t find it in your list 😉
Thanks, I’ve added it now!
I’ve got new weekly task -> ‘Create chef d’oeuvre’ on a chocolatier bench
Thanks, I’ve added it to the post
I recently found mission ‘Sleep in another sims bed’. All you need to do is doing power snooze for 4 minute in another sims bed and it’s done.
Thanks!
Create 2 date relationships
Thanks!
Once winning the first key from the first set of weekly tasks would it be better to save the key to open a different box (one that needs more keys). Or should you just open the first loot box and wait to collect more keys? If you don’t use the first key on the loot box will it disappear (either the key or the loot box)?
The loot box that costs one key will only find you common items whereas if you saved your keys for the fortune box that costs 6 keys you get at least one rare (nicer!) item and 4 uncommon items as well as common items so that definitely is the best box to go for. Your keys will be saved up and ready to be used when you are so you don’t have to use them all straight away
I have problems with the task “buy a support column”. I have only got two in the decoration section, and they are for free. So when I put this in my house, nothing happens. Do I need to buy it with simoleons, and how do I do that when they are for free?? I tried to sell one after putting it out but then it just dissapeared, and I got one less.. I have got this task twice, the first time I spent 10 LP ti skip it..
I would suggest trying to buy one to do this you can place any free ones somewhere in your house just for now and then you will be able to buy another one, hopefully this will complete the task.
Thank you!! That worked 🙂
I’m glad it worked!
Hello. I got one weekly task that I cannot finish, I wonder if this is some kind of bug.. It says “Make a Fancy coffe”. This should be simple, on all coffee machines one of the choices are “Fancy coffe” and they take about 24 sek. But nothing happends with this task when the coffe is completed. Are there any other ways to make fancy coffe, I have tried about all the coffemachines I got..
There is currently a glitch with the coffee machines which should be fixed by the next update.
I have one question. If the task is to for example ‘Have 6 sims deep sleep between 8pm and 6am’, do you have to do it for the full duration of the time it says or just complete the action before 6am?
Your blogs are so helpful and you give me even more help than I need with your amazing posts 🙂
I’m glad they help!
I believe you just have to start it within that time and it will complete this task straight away.
I believe I have a new one. Hobbies: Play the Tamborine as a jester in the castle gallery- 4 hours 30 minutes.
Thank you!
This one could go under Toddler or Mall: Toddler: Seriously Swing (requires an Adult) – 4 hours “The Sunset Mall has playground equipment inside! Crazy. Send a toddler to the ‘Wumples Play Area’ on the 2nd floor of the mall, and have a ‘Serious Swing’ on the swing set Inside”
Thanks again, I have added those to the post
On the weekly task it ask me to use a message tablet to message another sims….Can be found in home store decorations..I can’t seems to find it, Please help?
Sorry but I’m not sure what a message tablet is, is that definitely what it says or are you translating it from another language?
