FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS QUEST
please read before asking
How do I start this discovery quest?
Find the nanny in the park to start this quest
Can I do discovery quests at the same time as a main quest?
Yes you can
I am doing the quest for toddlers and this one at the same time, is that going to cause a problem?
No it won’t as you don’t need to age a baby in the toddler quest
Why can’t I do this discovery quest yet?
You cannot do more than one discovery quest at the same time, if you are currently on another one (the list can be found here) you will not be able to do this one until that one is completed
Do I have to do this quest?
If you don’t start the quest you don’t have to do it at all but if you have already started it you need to complete it before you can move on to the next quest
I haven’t started this quest yet, will it still be available when I want to do it?
Yes it will be, you can choose to start it whenever you like
Do I need a baby for this quest?
Yes you do
I accidentally cleaned up the trash instead of cleaning the infants mess, how do I fix this?
Knock the trashcan over again and select the clean infants mess option
I can’t find any highchairs in buy mode, why?
You need to reach the goal to buy one before you unlock them
I can’t place my infant in a highchair, why?
The back of the highchair needs to be away from a wall or free from objects in the way so they can place the baby in the highchair from behind
What do you mean when you say a goal can be started early?
Any goal that you can normally do can be started early because you will have access to it and any goal that you can’t normally do you will have to wait until you get the goal to be able to complete it
The tip with this method is to put the sim doing that action early in a different house that you cannot go to until you get that goal or it will not work
I can’t get my baby to play with food, why?
The plumbob needs to be over that babies head and you need to click on the baby
Does the nanny stay once the quest is over?
No, she will leave
Why can’t I add a baby?
A crib needs to be placed in the house of a married couple, only married couples can have babies
How many babies can a couple have?
They can have 2 children as only 4 sims can live in a house at one time
How do babies go to the toilet?
They will go in their diaper when they are ready, then you change their diaper to increase their hygiene
What do I get if I complete this quest in the time limit?
Overalls for your baby sims
What happens if I don’t complete in the time limit, can I still finish this quest?
Yes you have to finish it to unlock the musical expressions hobby before you can move onto the next quest
I didn’t complete in the time limit, can I restart the quest?
No, you cannot redo quests
Can I still get the prize if I don’t complete in the time limit?
No, the only way to get the limited time prizes is by completing the quest in the time limit
I don’t like this quest! Can I just skip it?
No, you have to complete this quest before you can move onto the next one now that you have started it, if you don’t start it you don’t have to do it
Some times are slightly different on my game, why is this?
Times may vary depending on the star rating of the item you are using, as the higher star rating an item has the quicker you will complete a goal
Some times are really off/ different goals show for me, why is this?
This will be because the quest has been updated recently, I try my best to keep these posts up to date but it is difficult as I cannot redo every quest each time the game is updated. If you notice any changes please let me know so I can update the post
This quest unlocks the musical expressions hobby, does the time limit start straight away once I have completed this quest?
Yes, the time limit for the hobby starts straight away once this quest is complete, you can click no when the hobby pop up appears but this does not stop the timer going down
Blue footprints appear when my baby tries to use the xylophone, why?
Blue footprints appear when your sim cannot access an item you want them to use, you need to either rotate the item or move an item that has been placed in front of it so they can use it

I need an infant to do the task but sims wont let me get one! Says its too crowded. I already deleted 2 sims and it still wont let me 😦 what do i do???
The house you are trying to add a baby to may already have 4 sims living in it, 4 sims is the max for each house, you will need to add a baby to a different house with another married couple
I’m so annoyed please help me on the task play with food i put my baby in its highchair but it doesn’t give me the option play with food what do I do please help
A lot of people are having this problem, I don’t know if its a glitch or they are just clicking on the baby with an adult sim so it may be easier to have all the other sims in the house busy doing something so the controls are on the baby, then click on the baby and you should get the option to play with food
I’m having trouble picking up the baby what do I do
you need an adult to click on the baby in a crib and select pick up
Even though I’m on the nanny quest now I restarted my game I was wondering could I still do the diy quest?
yes you can, but you will need to do the nanny quest first
Because I share my tablet, I’m being prevented from finishing on time. And in case I dont, can I go into one of those cloths/ hair stores and buy it under outfits? Or is it strictly a prize and there’s no other way of getting?
the only way to get the clothes is by completing the quest on time, sorry!
The nanny went away I search everywhere but she’s gone!!!!
do you still have a baby? if not you need to add a new one to complete the quest because the nanny disappears if you don’t have one
Hiya, hoping you can help me: I am on the nanny quest and had one of the dads doing the looking for soft foods task, when that finished I clicked on the baby in the high chair but could not find play with food. Right now that infant is the only infant in the city.
You need to be the baby and click on yourself to get the option
I love your website! I’ve have The Sims FreePlay since 2013 and I really didn’t know how the game worked so I googled it and found your site. It helped me a lot and after about a month I was on level 54! Thanks weightlessmagic!

I finished the nanny quest and my baby won’t age it is telling me I didn’t finish quest, I do not want to start all over lol.
you need to complete the quest for toddlers to age your baby
The simtracker stopped when adult “Follow obsessively” i’ve been waiting for 7 hours but it doesnt finish at all. And when i click on the infant, it doesnt show the time @@ Can you help me with this?
All you can do really is try and do it again, sorry!
How do you put the baby on the floor, I’m tapping it but nothing is happening?
you need to select let baby crawl
Can I do this quest while doing the “need for steed” quest at the same time,accidentally clicked begin quest and now both are on my tasks
what happens if I do both at the same time?
don’t worry, you can complete them at the same time
Hi, I’m on the part where I need to ask the nanny to help a friend and I can’t find her anywhere…I “evolved” my infant into a toddler, could that be the problem? :))
yes, you need a baby or the nanny will disappear
Hi! I’ve seen on FB page that some people have bunny overalls, and it was shown in this update trailer, i completed the quest within time limit but the only once i hav are those you’ve posted here. They are also not.visible in the store and i really like them ! Thanks in advance 🙂
No idea, I still haven’t found them, sorry!
I did something stupid and aged up my infant while on this quest. Now the nanny has disappeared! Is there anyway to get her back?
the only way to get her back is by adding a new baby to your town
I can’t complete the Nanny Knows best Quest, it is stuck on practice crawling. I have done it several times but it won’t say completed and move to next thing which would be follow around obsessively?
All I can suggest is that you restart your device and try again, remember you need to click on the ground somewhere as the baby and they will crawl to where you click
I can’t play with food I have the green thing on the baby and it still doesn’t have that choice what do I do because I really want to get something from there buy I have to finish the quest
A lot of people are having this problem, I don’t know if its a glitch or they are just clicking on the baby with an adult sim so it may be easier to have all the other sims in the house busy doing something so the controls are on the baby, then click on the baby and you should get the option to play with food
Hi there! I’m about to start the quest, but now (before starting it) there is no highchair to be bought in the home store. Guess it will show up when the quest is started?
(I’m asking since I don’t want to miss out on the reward if it’s just a glitch. I think it’d be great if you also added the answer to this to your post, if there’s anybody else out there wondering.)
And thank you so much for a great blog! I know I’m not the only one who really appreciate it. ❤
the highchairs are unlocked when you get the goal.
There is now another new update of the mall with new clothes and hair and makeup and I think this will be my favorite update however, if I update this, which will also include this Nanny knows best because I didn’t update it yet, will the patios glitch not work anymore?
Yes you will still be able to do the nanny knows best quest
Sorry but I don’t know what patio glitch you are talking about
Hi!
I would like to know if the actions like ‘Pick up Infant’, ‘Let Infant Crawl’ ‘Practise Walking’ Etc will still be available when the time for the exclusives expire. Also, when the time expires, are you still able to continue the mission? Thanks!
yes you can complete the quest and do those actions when the time runs out
I do not have the option of play with food? I have a highchair and already completed the search for soft food quest.

do you think it’ll be worth to spend LPs on this quest if I can’t complete it on time?
if you want the bouncer then yes, if not then don’t waste your LPs on it
Hi
I can’t seem to get any sim to put the baby in the highchair. Whenever I select the option to put the baby in the chair the sim stomps it’s foot and shakes it’s head. Please help. Thanks
A lot of people seem to be having this problem, have you tried rotating the highchair? or putting the chair in the middle of a room with nothing around it?
It’s notletting me follow the baby obsessively, what should I do? Or what am I doing wrong for it not to give me that option?
Is there an adult sim at the house to select the option when the baby is on the ground?
How to do the Rant to Nanny Williams?
click on nanny williams and select the option
I have completed the follow obsessively task 3 times, twice using LP and once letting it run the whole 6.5 hours. Quest will not advance to the next task and I’m running out of time. I’ve been stuck on this for going on 3 days…. Any suggestions, I can’t find where anyone else has this problem. Thanks for all your work!
I have heard of a few people having this problem, unfortunately I don’t know how to fix it but as you have tried LPs and that didn’t work you may need to contact EA to see if they can fix this problem for you, sorry!
Can I start the post pictures to simbook task early to complete this quest?
no you can’t
I am up to the high chair step but my sims won’t put Charlie ( my infant) in it the say the can’t walk there sign!!! HELP!!!!!!
A lot of people seem to be having this problem, have you tried rotating the highchair? or putting the chair in the middle of a room with nothing around it?
I have been following the baby obsessively for days and once finished this task it does not allow me to move onto the next task. I have tried approx. 6 times! Any ideas you can help me with
have you tried using LPs to complete it, if you don’t have any this post may help: https://thegirlwhogames.wordpress.com/2015/01/14/the-sims-freeplay-how-do-i-have-so-many-lps/
How do I do the quest over
you can’t restart quests
Hi my name is Sara and I’m a huge fan of your blog. It has helped my SO much completing quests and understanding the game 😛 I was slightly confused when I clicked on the nanny at the park. It said I had to complete the ‘Sunset Mall’ quest before I can come back. How do I do this? Am I not on the right level yet?
Thanks😀
I’m glad it helps!
Have you started building the mall? Once you finish building the mall the sunset mall quest will start so you can complete it
You are on the right level but you cannot complete two discovery quests at one time
Hey there. So i saw the quest but since i was on a holiday with no stable conection i decided not to open it -they asked me if i wanted to start it and i said no- so now i’ve been waiting for almost a month for this to show up and it just doesn’t. Is it cuz im doing other quests and til im done with them i cant start this one? Or is there something i can do?
You are probably doing a discovery quest, if you finish a discovery quest you will be able to find the nanny in the park for you to complete this quest
Dang, don’t have a baby !!
Two more levels before I get a new sim
you could always delete a sim to make room?
Nope, no hurry to do the quest !!
Is my baby going to crowl after this quest?
yes all babies will
I’m in “Play with food” quest, and I’m doing it now after a week. I have a high chair and whenever I put the baby, the only option is “give food” (i remember finishing the “soft food” quest) What am I supposed to do? Please reply!

I did pick up my infant from highchair while another sim is doing the search for soft food in the fridge. Now I have a problem after the sim completed the search for soft food. There is no soft food to play with, and it has no choice to play with food. What should I do?

Is it possible to still get the baby outfits without finishing it within that bonus time? I don’t have enough LPs and have two hours left
Yes, you just need to finish it for the first time, in the time limit or not, it doesn’t matter to be able to start unlocking the outfits
What happens if you dont finish the quest in time?And what happens if you do finish it in time?
PLEASE reply
If you don’t you won’t unlock the baby overalls, if you do you just unlock the baby overalls.
Hello,in the search for soft food in fridge task my sim won’t go and search for it, it keeps a footprints sign on my sims head,what does that mean? And what should I do?
this means your sim cannot get to the fridge, there may be something in front of it that needs moving first
I can’t get this quest to show up and I have an infant. Advice?
you need to find the nanny in the park, you can start it as long as you aren’t on another discovery quest right now.
Hey!!I was just wondering, umm how many simoleons and lp do U have,I have 4,000,000+ simoleons and 44 lp!😃😃
I have 20LPs and 2,000,000 simoleons
I can’t find the quest anywhere. I’ve already had to restart the game twice and I don’t want to restart it again so any suggestions?
you need to find the nanny in the park, you can start it as long as you aren’t on another discovery quest right now.
Hello, I am stuck on this Nanny knows best quest (which is too long for overalls)
I finished looking for soft food and am not sure what u mean by,
“you need to go back on the game to complete the previous tasks before this one finishes or it won’t work”.
The options won’t display for the baby to play with it’s food. Please help. Thank you!! Appreciate your blog chica!
A lot of people are having this problem, I don’t know if its a glitch or they are just clicking on the baby with an adult sim so it may be easier to have all the other sims in the house busy doing something so the controls are on the baby, then click on the baby and you should get the option to play with food
Why i cant choose “play with food” ?
