Do I have to do this quest?
If you don’t start building downtown high you don’t have to do this quest at all but if you have already started building or started this quest 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

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 building downtown high 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
This quest unlocks the class clown 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

Oh my gosh the teacup pig is soooo cute I can’t stand it!! 😍😍😍😍😍
I know! He is adorable! 🙂
Hi! So there’s now going to be 2 high schools?
Kind of but you cannot send your sims to go to school at downtown high school.
Do you know why the requirements are different to build items around town? The new Downtown High says it requires $3M to build for me, but only $850,000 in yours?
The price of the high school varies depending on how many other businesses you have already built, the price increases for every business you build. It also increases for every workplace you build and house you build but building a house doesn’t increase the price it costs to build a workplace and so on.
I don’t have an option to build a school. My hospital is built. Do I need to build the penthouse apts. first?
Have you updated your game to the latest version?
Do you need to have the high school or teenager sims to be able to do this quest?
No you don’t need either, an adult sim can complete this quest and the hobby that follows it.
Hey there! Just updated my game tonight, saw this teacher’s pet quest when I went into the game, but I accidentally pressed “no” canceled this quest, now I can’t find the quest anymore. Is there any way I can find this discovery quest? Thanks!!
You need to build downtown high school and then this quest will begin.
Omg!
I had set five sims to oractisw sports at the sport field and then, when they were done, it didn’t go to the next task!!! And I only have 30 hours left, this is so unfair as it’s a glitch in the game!
Is there anything I can do? (No, I don’t have any LPs, I have already used them all up to speed up other actions, I wanted to make sure I could win the piggy) 😭😭😭😭😭
Oh no! Sorry it is probably too late now but this post may help you to earn LP quicker in the future: https://thegirlwhogames.blog/2015/01/14/the-sims-freeplay-how-do-i-have-so-many-lps/
I would suggest contacting the makers though and asking for compensation as it wasn’t your fault you couldn’t complete it, this post explains how to contact them if you are unsure: https://thegirlwhogames.blog/2016/05/29/the-sims-freeplay-contacting-ea-firemonkeys/
Can teens attend the downtown high school?
No they cannot go to school here.
Thank you for walking us through another adventure! 🙂
You’re welcome! 🙂
Should I start this quest if I don’t have a teen? I’m asking because I know when you complete this quest you said the class clown quest starts right away, which gives us 7 days to complete. A teen is needed for that new hobby right?
You won’t need a teen to complete the hobby, you can do it with an adult too.
In the screenshot the school cost 850,000 but in my game it’s 2 million. Is this a mistake???
The price of the high school varies depending on how many other businesses you have already built.
Can you actually enroll teenage sims in this school and watch them there (kinda like you do with professional workplaces like police and movie star)? Or is it just a public area? Also your blog is amazing, it has helped me so much xoxo
They cannot go to school here, it is just a public area.
Thanks, I’m glad it helps!
Too bad there aren’t more lengthy options for pet interactions, especially these cuties! Only four minutes of cuddles, and you can’t even pick them up? :C I hope they will get cute accessories at least, some time in the future 🤷🏽♂️
UPDATE: the piggy goes up the stairs by itself! ❤
Aww!
I know! Cute little piggy jumpers would just be awesome!
So I now have to watch a sports event on tv but I don’t get that option! It doesn’t show up on any of my tv’s in different houses! What to do now?!
What aged sim are you using? Try again with an adult sim
I tried different ages but just a short time ago it fixed itself. Apparently you can’t just select a tv, but have to wait until an – ! – icon apears above the tv and then select it
Strange! At least it sorted itself out 🙂
Hi! I just wanted to know how to get toddler castle beds? I’ve beealn searching for days now and your my only hope.. Plz help!!
I’m not sure which beds you are talking about, if you would like to send me a screenshot to my email on the contact me page: https://thegirlwhogames.blog/contact-me/ I will see if I can find them!
Azajah Im assuming weightlessmagic has already answered this for you, but just in case anyone else is wondering the same thing like I was, I just wanted to let you know that I found them in the store that sells the infant/toddlers/preteen/teen items (the one you have to click on from the map, near the clothing store, hair salon). For some reason there are a few items sold there that do not show up in the furniture tab when I’m on a house lot. There are also really adorable infant night tables and nursery dressers there, that (at least for me) do not show up under the furniture tab where everything else is.
Also just a random comment to weightlessmagic–I’m disappointed that the teens can’t go to the downtown school. I don’t understand what the point was of paying to build all the rooms, when really the entire second floor is only there for show! There’s the hobby, but it’s pretty boring and after the first time through there isn’t much incentive. It would be way more fun if the students could actually go there like the adult sims can with the new careers. I would love to be able to send them to an actual school, send even be able to send my teacher adult sims there to teach! I know technically you can do that, but you don’t get anything out of it, so you might as well just send them to the sim town school where they can actually earn something! What are your thoughts on this?
Oh you mean the royal pink bed! Yes for some reason that one only shows up in the childrens store and not the toddler section of the home store.
The table and dresser should be in the baby and toddler sections of the home store
Yes it is disappointing that they cannot actually go to school there, I was hoping they would be able to!
Once this school is built will the teens attend school here or will then attend class at the high school in the suburbs.
They cannot go to school in downtown, they will only go to simtown high.
Thank you so much for your blog. Do you know if we’re able to buy pet pig furniture and dishes? I feel like I’m negligent since I can’t make her comfy!
You’re welcome! Unfortunately there are currently no items available for the pig to use
Does the teacup pig dig up treasure like the other pets?
No it doesn’t seem to
How do I feed the tea cup pig?
You cannot feed the pig, you can only scratch its tummy and pet the pig.
Does the teacup pig have a food bowl? Do they eat from a dog food bowl? Also, do they need a bed?
Also, thank you so much for all you wisdom! You are always my “go to” when I have a question. This is the first time I had to ask something that wasn’t already posted, pretty good odds! xoxo
No it doesn’t have a food bowl and they can’t use dog or cat items unfortunately!
You’re welcome! That’s great 🙂
Hi! So does the piggy hunt for treasure too?
No it doesn’t seem to
Hi there! I don’t have a pet or even the pet store. How would I be able to complete the photograph a pet action? Would a horse work? Or do I have to build the pet store? Thanks!
There is the option on a horse, I can’t get it to work though, it just appears with blue footprints but you may have more luck! If it doesn’t work you will need to build the pet store unfortunately.
How many sims can you have doing the class clown hobby to start? Like, the Fashion design hobby, you can only have 5 sims doing it.
Note: Even with 5 sims doing it, I still didn’t get the timed part of it complete 😦
It does say in the hobby post: https://thegirlwhogames.blog/2017/08/24/the-sims-freeplay-hobbies-class-clown/
Hye! Can bird in the cage take the photograph? Because i did not own any pet but i do have a bird
A bird in the cage doesn’t work but there is the option on a horse, I can’t get it to work though, it just appears with blue footprints but you may have more luck! If it doesn’t work you will need to build the pet store unfortunately.
I cannot find Downtown Hight on the map. I have only Hospital and three penthouses.
Have you updated your game recently? Downtown High was added to the game two updates ago so check you are up to date.
100LPS EACH?!?! I get the first one is free which is great plus they’re really cute, but cmon, who has enough to pay 100 lifestyle points for a second piggie? Aww 🙁😩
Thank you weightlessmagic for your advice and information on this particular building and subsequent hobbies but I do feel it seems rather pointless just to win a cute ornamental piggy. If the teenagers can’t go there why spend your sims hard earned cash on a building that you can’t do anything with and to be honest I very rarely go downtown anyway preferring to stay around my own town and islands … anyone else feel that way?
Hi – just a quick question about the pig’s happiness meter. No matter how many times I pet it, the bar never goes beyond half full. I’ve tried both options. It’ll go below half, and I can get it to half full, but no higher. Not a major issue, just wondering if anyone else has noticed this – or is it just me?! Thanks!
That is odd, I haven’t had that issue myself but don’t worry about it too much!
Hi, I love your blog, it’s SOO helpful! Anyway, I was wondering, if you go to Promotions ‘R’ Us, then there is a Teacher’s Blackboard (something like that, anyway) and it says career under that. What does that mean, as in, what can it be used for? Is there a teaching job?
Yes, once you build the elementary school in the preparing for preteens quest you will unlock the teacher career: https://thegirlwhogames.blog/2014/04/20/the-sims-freeplay-careers-teacher/
I’m playing this quest and I’ve been told to build the pet store which costs too much. I don’t see it in the walk-through for the quest on your blog
Did that goal appear after you checked the coaches email? You need a pet to be able to photograph them for the next task, I already had a pet store so I never had this appear myself, I will add a note to the post that you need a pet for this quest.
Tq for sharing this with us.. 😁
Has anyone who wants to be my Sims friends?
You’re welcome! You can find lots of people who want neighbours on this page: https://thegirlwhogames.blog/neighbour-requests/
I started the teachers quest awhile ago but didn’t finish, but won’t let me continue. I want to do the maternity quest
Why can’t you finish it? Click on active tasks and see which goal you have to complete next in this quest.
If I don’t have the pet store yet, will I still be able to claim the pig once have built it? Thanks
Yes you will.
