Firstly sorry that it has taken so long to make this post, as you probably know it takes a very long time to upgrade all the monuments! In this post I will be covering the resources needed to upgrade each monument on the Mysterious Island (including the cost to buy them with LP) what each upgrade looks like and also what happens when all your monuments have been upgraded.

What are the monuments and what level do I unlock them?

Why don’t I have the option to upgrade monuments yet?

You need to complete the Raiders of the Lost Artifacts Quest to be able to start upgrading monuments

How do I upgrade a monument?

A pop up will appear when you have enough resources to upgrade a monument, once you do head to the mysterious island, click on the monument and click ‘upgrade now’:

How long does it take to upgrade when you click ‘upgrade now’?

The upgrade is instant

Where do I find the resources needed to upgrade the monuments?

Your sims will receive these randomly when they complete actions, you will see the resource symbol appear above their head when they earn one:

Some resources are rarer than others so it will take you longer to find:

Gold (The Riches of Terra)
Magma Embers (The Flames of Wisdom)
Essence of Wind (The Tempest of Bliss)
Pearl (The Springs of Fortune)

Your sims will still earn these at random but they will find them less than the other 8 resources:

Pickaxe and Granite (The Riches of Terra)
Igneous Rock and Bronze (The Flames of Wisdom)
Onyx and Bamboo (The Tempest of Bliss)
Limestone and Chisel (The Springs of Fortune)

I can’t find a resource, what should I do?

You could use LP to buy a resource if you are stuck, each resource you need will cost 3LP so if you need 2 Gold then it will cost you 6LP (the tables below show how many LP you would need to buy every resource) However I would suggest you keep reading first to see if it is really worth spending all your LP on!

What is the point of upgrading the monuments?

Upgrading the monuments earns you a bonus or perk which is different for each monument:

The Riches of Terra- simoleon bonus when gardening, baking and working
The Flames of Wisdom- bonus XP after using objects, gardening, baking and working

The Tempest of Bliss- decreases rate in which sims motives drain (their needs bars don’t decrease as quickly so they stay happier for longer)
The Springs of Fortune- increases chance of getting XP and simoleon bonuses from Riches of Terra and Flames of Wisdom

The bonuses are given randomly when you complete actions (it will appear above your sims head or on the pop up when they finish work) so you won’t get them for everything your sims do but the more you upgrade the monuments the higher the bonus and the more often you will receive it (especially when you start upgrading the Springs of Fortune)

How many resources do I need for each upgrade and what do I get when I upgrade them?

The Riches of Terra: unlocks at level 10

simoleon bonus when gardening, baking and working

The LP amounts in the table below show how much it would cost to buy the resources with LP (it costs 3LP for each resource needed)

Visual Upgrade is when the monument looks different (see the picture above to see how it changes as it is upgraded) and Houseboat Unlocked is when you unlock a houseboat plot so your sims can live on a boat!

What happens when you upgrade all the monuments to level 25? When you reach level 25 you unlock the Volcano which is really disappointing, all you get when the volcano ‘erupts’ every 24 hours is S750 and 500XP:

Do I need to upgrade the monuments past level 25? You don’t need to as level 25 is when you unlock the volcano but all the monuments can reach level 70, upgrading them to this level gives you the highest perk which means:

You could earn 625 bonus simoleons when your sims complete actions (The Riches of Terra)
You could earn 575 bonus XP when your sims complete actions (The Flames of Wisdom)
The rate your sims motives decrease would be 57.5% (The Tempest of Bliss)
Your chance of earning bonus simoleons and XP from The Riches of Terra and The Flames of Wisdom when your sims complete actions increases by 164% (The Springs of Fortune)

Wow. That’s a seriously disappointing anticlimax. Plus, you stop earning XP once you reach a play level of 55 which you are bound to do way before you get most ways through upgrading the monuments by normal game progression, so actually, not just disappointing, but utterly pointless. Once again, seriously EA?

Charlotte says:

Wow it really is not worth unlocking the volcano. I was hoping it would give you some LP or a huge simoleon reward (like 100k) the first time at least. That would actually be worth the effort. XP is probably the most useless thing it could give since it’s highly unlikely to get it before you max out at 55.

Whenever we reach level 5 of a certain monument do we get the house boat free?

  You don’t get a free houseboat, it unlocks a houseboat lot so you can build a houseboat.

I have been playing the game for years and play consistently and my Island Monuments are not that upgraded, they are between 10-15. I am struggling to get the Famous Sim Town Sign upgraded beyond level 1. I cannot seem to find the items needed for that one!

  You need to complete the teen idol hobby to earn the resources to complete the sim sign, this post explains in more detail how it works: https://thegirlwhogames.blog/2014/11/10/the-sims-freeplay-sim-sign-and-teen-mansion/

I have a very hard time keeping up with the different Sims and what they have done and where they are in the game. I feel like I should get a notebook to keep track of their whereabouts, relationships, what quest are they working on.

I thought the volcano gave lifestyle points when it ‘erupted’? Am I crazy? Where did I get that idea??

  I don’t think it ever has, it definitely doesn’t any more!

My monuments are all at least level 25, I think all 4 are up around level 30, and it keeps telling me “the volcano isn’t ready to erupt yet.” So, what’s up with that? I don’t care that I won’t get some great prize, I just want to see it erupt! So what am I missing?

- weightlessmagic says:
  
  June 15, 2021 at 2:54 pm
  
  There is a timer on the volcano, it will erupt when the timer reaches 0 and you will earn S750 and 500XP every 24 hours, that is all it does.

You can also get VIP 7 and everyday you will receive a monument resource, in the daily mail.

Firstly, I love your site, its been SO useful in getting to were I am, but I think you need to check your figures regarding the percentage from level 70 Springs of Fortune: you won’t have 164% chance of getting a bonus, your chance of getting a bonus will be INCREASED BY 164%, so, if the original chance of getting a bonus is 10%, it will be increased to 26.4%. The Tempest of Bliss will be the same only its a decreased rate. Sorry to be so pedantic, but what you have written above is a little misleading.
