FIND THIS POST HELPFUL?
The Girl Who Games 
Amazing! Thanks for the update! I heard there will be lighting effect coming in? When is it? Could you make any comments on it? Thanks!
Lighting changes are in the next update so I will post about it then
Hi, I clicked the party boat to another sim town but can’t find the museum, is this already available, thank you.
I’ve added a picture of where to find it in the post but it is the house nearest to the police station.
Hello! I can’t seem to find the museum. Can you upload a photo/video of it, please?
I’ve added a picture of where to find it in the post but it is the house nearest to the police station.
The one with all the Friends references. This is so cool!
I can’t seem to find the muse yay “another sim town” help !

My friends towns have disappeared. Are they coming back?
They usually do reappear after a few days.
Hi! I was just wondering if Another Sim Town is a permanent thing or if they will be removing it after a certain amount of days?
Thanks
Another Simtown will be staying
Say Museums is next to house next to police station but what if you have a house there already.
It’s in another simtown, not your town. You get there from the party boat.
There are some incredible themed builds in Another Simtown—well worth a look.
what do you mean by this: The Paperboy will be giving double rewards between 12th- 15th February? Btw thank you for your blog it really helps!!
The paperboy appears at the front of your sims houses every now and then and you can watch an ad to receive a reward, during this time you will be able to get double the rewards.
Hi Charlotte!
Just wondering if you’ll be doing an updated post on “Another Sim Town” now that the town has (FINALLY!) been significantly upgraded? Something like “The Sims Freeplay- Visiting Another Sim Town” maybe?
Thank you!
I’m definitely planning to do this when I have some time!
Where is the podium? It would be great to see a map of where all the action things are, like phones/fashion designer hobby setup etc. to help when completing tasks. I love the new update to another sim town but can’t find anything within it!
I’m definitely planning to do this when I have some time!
Would love an update on that! I also can’t find things and started to make a spreadsheet which lists the items i might need for tasks, their location and their star rating 😀 Did you by chance spot a fire pole in Another Sim Town yet? It’s a reappearing task and none of my friends has one so it would be great to find one in Another Sim Town.
The new post is here: https://thegirlwhogames.blog/2025/06/16/the-sims-freeplay-best-another-simtown-houses-to-visit/
Sadly no firepole!
is another sim town going to be there with all the new houses and new sims neighbours forever or is it just temporary during February
It is staying with the new houses.
PHONE FOUND: I found a phone in Sims Neighbor’s.
It is on the Volcano Island, second house (smaller one) on the leftside next to the Turtle Statue. It is on the wall next to the main doors when you walk in.
I am glad you found the phone!
Hi your articles are so helpful! If I started playing the coffee chase on the 26th and don’t finish the event by the 29th (because it makes me take breaks) will it end without me being able to try for the grand prize?
If you start late you are already going to miss out on a lot of the prizes as the rival will have started before you so you probably won’t finish this time.
