You can also now build the Wumples Play Center which is on the second floor at the mall (mainly for toddlers)
It has two swings, a slide and a see-saw for your sims to enjoy!
Prize: SeeSaw
Where can you find it? In the toddler section

Is it worth it? It’s cute but expensive for what it is, and there is one at the Wumples Play Center when you complete the quest

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 building the escalator you don’t have to do this quest but once it is built the quest will begin
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

hey.. the problem is. i havent completed the sunset mall quest..
but i happened to visit one of my neighbours where i visited his sunset mall. so therebwas a screen saying.. sunset mall quest completed. and then the “pretty little planters” quest was started. but while this all happened.. i got no sunset mall in my town. so .. the real problem is.. i wont be able to complete this quest unless i build the mall.. nd the mall asks me to first complete the quest😑😑😑 what am i supposed to do now? plz help.. i pray to you
I have heard of a few people having this issue. If the game was working correctly it would let you build the mall and then start the sunset mall quest but it seems there is a glitch where it is telling you to complete the pretty little planters quest that you cannot access until you have completed the sunset mall quest. I would recommend that you contact EA about this issue as I am unable to fix technical issues and hopefully they will be able to sort this out.
Okay thanks…
But i would be grateful if you guide me how to contact EA
This post explains how to do that: https://thegirlwhogames.wordpress.com/2016/05/29/the-sims-freeplay-contacting-ea-firemonkeys/

I went to a neighbors town and went to their mall and the pretty little planters quest popped up. It won’t let me do the quest at the neighbors town and my town doesn’t have the mall yet and it says I can’t build it until the pretty little planters quest is complete. What should I do?

Thank you so much for your help! In the end i decided to restart my game because they wanted me to create an EA account and do all this stuff which I didn’t want to do but anyway, thanks for all the time and effort you put into this blog, it has helped so many of us and i’m sorry about those people who write negative feedback…xx
You’re welcome and thank you, I really appreciate it!
I haven’t built the mall yet and this quest started. I can’t send my sim there without the mall, and I can’t build the mall without conpleting the quest. Any ideas?

Hello again. I have contacted the EA but they didnt fix my problem. My “pretty Little planters” quest expired and now i am stuck because i cant built anything because i have to finish that quest…
Have they got back to you yet? If not you will just need to wait for them to reply, there is nothing I can do to fix this as it is a technical issues.
I have a problem. I didn’t build the mall now I am stuck sending my sims to the second floor in this quest. I cannot build the mall without the little planters quest and cannot proceed without sending someone to the second floor. I am at a stalemate. Pls help

I have had this quest available to me for a while now, but I don’t have the mall built and it won’t let me build the mall UNTIL I finish this quest. How can I do this??
This is a glitch, you will need to contact EA so they can fix this issue for you.
Ugh I have the same problem and I’m so far along in my game I don’t want to delete it I’m already on level 24
Like I said before, contact EA so they can fix it for you!
Look everyone, please read above comments by previous poster. And if you are having the exact same problems, please double check if WM already replied to the comments. And if she does, DONT ASK AGAIN for god sake. I’ve got the same as u guys, and what I did is, listen to what she advised, contacted the ea team, wait for their replies, do as what they said, keep follow up with them and they will settled it. It just a matter of time. Mine took about 1 and half months. I knew the task is going to end but its okay, because once you download the content provided by the ea support team, those quest will be back for you. And you can play again as the last time this glitch happen. Just be patient, a lot more people out there need to be sorted out before you guys. Be tough WM, please don’t stop providing us tutorial 💕
Hi there! A quick comment on one of the tasks in the game. With the latest app update, it takes 21.5 hrs to email fashion photos rather than the 19 that you have listed. Aside from this, just a general thank you for making a blog about these quests. Very helpful. 🙂
Can you remember what the star rating was on the computer you used? As it may be different because of that 🙂
You’re welcome! I’m glad it helps!
Thank you so much for this blog, I have saved so much time by coming here during quests esp when it’s a multi choice answer! Thanks a bunch again!
You’re very welcome! Glad it helps!
I didn’t see my problem above, so I’m going to post it here and see if I get any reponses. My problem is my mall is built, second floor is done, and I’ve built the toddler play center at the mall. Every now and then, I go to the map screen, it tells me there’s a discovery quest at the mall and when I go, nothing happnes. I’ve tried going with an adult, a toddler, both an adult and toddler, but the play center is already built and can be played with. Why do I keep getting told there’s a new discovery quest when I’ve finished everything?
That is definitely a glitch as you have completed the mall already, you may want to contact EA to see what they say about this issue or you could just ignore it and hopefully it will be fixed in the next update!
Thank you so much for this blog! I just had some questions: (1) what are the requirements to build the escalator (like how many shops?), (2) What are the requirements for the shop built during the quest (how many shops do you have to have already?), (3) can you do the ‘cleaning plant’s mess’ at the same time (4) In your ‘guide to the mall’ there is a 3x 10h30m cleanup and 2x 5h30 cleanup, do you need to do all or just the ones that you stated above?
1.I believe the only requirement is to complete the sunset mall quest but if you click on it it should tell you what you need to do to build the escalator.
2.There is no requirement for the shop built during the quest
3.No you cannot do these at the same time
4. You will not be able to clean the rest up until you complete this quest so you only have to clean up the ones stated in this post
Sorry for the slow reply!
Unless I’m getting something wrong the answer to (3) is not correct for everyone as of now. I’m currently playing this quest and I when was “cleaning up the plant’s mess” I did indeed use one sim for the 5 hour 30 repair and had a second sim deal with the shorter two trash clean ups at the same time. By the time the repair was done, the second sim had already gone home and the task was completed successfully.
So if anyone else is playing that quest I recommend just trying if this works for them. 🙂
Yes sorry my answer is incorrect, sorry about that! You will be able to complete them all at the same time as they aren’t blocking the next one.
You are absolutely amazing! I use your blog ALL the time. You are a complete life saver!
Thank you so much! I’m glad it helps 🙂
Hi I was just wondering how you rate these quests because I saw that it takes like 4 days to complete this but it is hard? Also, I’m stuck on what quest to start next 😅. Any favourites? I’ve completed all main quests and the ones which you don’t have to build something for and I have done downtown and I think that’s it!
I rate them purely based on how difficult I think they are to complete in the time limit. If you don’t like my rating system you probably won’t like my opinion on quests! But I like Vacations Guide to the Outdoors 🙂
