Do you have to build the vaulting arena and the showjumping arena?
If you don’t want to complete the hobbies, no
Have you done the new quest for the mall 2nd floor update?

I just want to say “Thank you”. I love the way you explain everything to the”t”. 😊 Thank you again for taking the time out to help others. I really appreciate this.
Peace & joy
You’re very welcome 🙂
I agree, you take a lot of time for helping others, very few people could do that, but you’re one of those very nice people 🙂 thank you so much for your time
Thank you so much 🙂 and you’re very welcome!
I renamed my horse (just completed the quest) and now my horse isn’t there anymore. What can I do to get him back?
Have you tried restarting your device to see if he reappears? If not, you may need to contact EA to see if they can fix this issue for you.
I restarted my Kindle and he’s there now. Thank you!
I need to do the unicorn quest as I can’t age my Infant as says toddler quest not done but I don’t know how to get into the showjumping to clear it as the locked gate says need to complete hidden unicorn quest but I don’t know how to
you need to complete quests in order, if you are still on the toddler quest then you have that and all going swimmingly to do before you can do the hidden unicorn quest to unlock the showjumping gate
Does it the happiness of your horse matter when completing hobby tasks? will you have a better chance of finding a new collectible for horse tricks, vaulting, or show jumping if your horse is maxed out on happiness?
They don’t have a better chance of finding collectibles if their happiness is maxed out but if their happiness falls too low then they will refuse to partake in a hobby until you make them happier
Hi, I’m doing the “Preparing for Preteens” quest now, but at the same time I’m at the stable still cleaning through the white explanation mark the jumping area. Some of them are very quick, 30 sec or 5 min, but others are of 7-9-11 hours, and they keep popping out as soon as I finish one. Now I have 5 Sims doing that at the same time as I hope to finish it quicker, but it looks as they’ll never finish. Have you got any idea why, how much cleaning, or “remove” how it’s called, I have to do?
Thanks a lot, Cecilia
Have you read this post? It tells you exactly how many things you need to clean up.
How do I use the water trough at the stables?
You don’t, its just a decoration.
Can you still build the Showjumping even if you don’t build the Tricks and the Vaulting?
Yes you can still build the showjumping arena but you will be unable to do the showjumping hobby until you have completed the previous two hobbies.
