I'm a 28 year old from England who is passionate about being creative, I would like to say I'm good with words but I'm really not! Hopefully you will find my blogs helpful and entertaining! Enjoy! x
Today I have been blogging for 9 years, it still feels like yesterday when I sat down to write my first post not expecting anyone to read it but 9 years later and this blog has had over 93 million views!
The past few years have been very difficult for me, for those of you who don’t know my mum died early 2021 and this year I was diagnosed with depression. My mum was my best friend and I miss her every single day, I spent 2021 keeping busy, bottling it up, not thinking about it and this year it became too much. I felt lost, overwhelmed by even the simplest of tasks and isolated myself.
The good news is I got help and today I am feeling much more like my old self, I still have a long way to go but things are looking brighter.
I want to take this opportunity to thank you all for sticking with me over this hard time, I know I haven’t been around much recently and I hate letting you all down but I had to focus on myself.
Looking to the future; I’m committed to keeping this blog up to date, I will try harder to reply to comments quickly and some posts will be getting a refresh including my catalogue posts (there will be more catalogue posts, covering separate aspects of the game so they load better and are easier to keep updated!)
Thank you again for your support and kindness for the past 9 years 💛

Update available from 18th October 9:30pm UTC
Get ready for more realistic looking sims in the latest update of The Sims Freeplay, keep reading for more information
NEW FACES!
Preteen, teen, adult and senior sims faces have all been refreshed! This new look is far more realistic as these new face meshes have allowed the makers to add eyelashes, tongues and improve the textures:
This change has taken the team 6 months to test and roll out, only babies and toddlers haven’t been changed at this stage:
All hair, glasses and earrings are now available for all genders so adult males can use adult females hair and vice versa (you still can’t share hair and accessories across age groups so senior sims cannot use adult sims hair etc)
I really love these changes, they were definitely needed! This is a permanent improvement and can be accessed by selecting create a sim on a wardrobe. The old faces are no longer available as they are unable to use both face meshes in the game at the same time.
I cannot wait to see the new creative sims you all make!

Constructor Coins

Coin Plant Patches
Earning Constructor Coins? Previously on these events I used social points on the Mega Spin Plant to win constructor points. I earn social points by completing the cooking hobby and earning LP, I can then turn the LP into SP using the social point plant on a normal garden patch- this was when it cost 5LP- the social point plant now costs 20LP so you may want to try the option below first instead:
Or you can use 450 candles for the Spin Plant (a good way to use up any spare candles) which will also earn you constructor coins but the amounts are less than they are from the Mega Spin Plant
What is the minimum and maximum amount of coins you can earn on the mega spin plant? The minimum is 10 and the maximum is 500
Now on the coin flower patch you can see the chances of getting the different combinations on each spin plant, click on the green i button to see:
Laura Craft? You may have noticed at the front of one of your houses there is a board with a bubble of a person holding arts and crafts items above it, this is Laura Craft, you can buy her for real money to help you complete the event. When you buy her, you select the item you want her to make from the options: 200 candles, 300 pottery, 450 jewelry or 500 glassware (the amounts seem to differ for most of you and I have no idea why that is!) (you will unlock all the options once you have unlocked all the stations) and you will be able to collect them after 2 hours.
Do I think she is worth it? They have improved Laura Craft a lot since the first event (although it would be great if she made constructor coins) she used to be able to collect every 8 hours, they have now changed this to 2 hours so she is more useful now so if you are struggling then you may want to splash out and give her a try but remember you will only get her for this event, you will have to buy her again to use her for a live event in the future. I personally don’t ever buy her, if I don’t manage to earn enough items or coins in the time limit I just wait until the next time the event is available!
If I brought Laura Craft in the last event do I get her for free or do I have to buy her again? You have to buy her again for this event.
Once the event is over it will convert your unused resources into simoleons, the conversion rate is half the amount of resources, for example, if you have 10,000 candles left over you will earn 5,000 simoleons, if you only have 1 of a resource left over you will only earn 1 simoleon. When a new live event becomes available you start from 0 resources
If I don’t complete this event this time will I have to start from the beginning when it returns? No, you will start from where you got to this time!
The Fine Dining Live Event will return on the 22nd August to unlock dining themed items and if you complete the whole event in the time limit you unlock the fine diner restaurant template. This event is only here for 9 days and the aim of it is to collect enough arts and crafts items from the arts and crafts stations (found in the event tab of buy mode) to unlock all the items in this event
If you completed this event last time it was available you will not get it again, if you started it last time but didn’t complete it you will start from where you got to last time.
NOTE: if you did another Live Event then you will find your arts and crafts stations in your inventory (or in the house you left them at) you will only be able to use the candle ones until you unlock the other stations in this event
Can’t find your arts and crafts stations?Click on the craft station in your event tab to get the option to find your station, it will take you to the house where your stations can be found!
Place a crafting station (find the candle station in the events tab of buy mode (or your inventory)- you can only buy 4)
Make some arts and crafts items (click on the candle station to make)- 23 seconds
This takes you to the prize progress tab (you can get to it by clicking on the glasses button in the corner of the screen)
Here you will see you have collected enough items to unlock the Wondrous Wall pack! When you unlock each pack, before the items are available in your home store you need to purchase them with the arts and crafts items you make- this goal is coming up!
Restock a crafting station (when the stock runs out you will have to restock before you can make anymore arts and crafts items)- You can restock instantly for 18 uses for 10SP or restock for 2 uses which will take 10 seconds this time
Buy the Wondrous Wall pack (click on the glasses event button, scroll down and click purchase- this will cost you 50 candles)
Use a coin flower patch (buy the coin flower patch from the event tab and select the spin plant option)
Check the daily goals (click on the drinks event button and find the daily goals tab- claim the ones you can!)
Remember to claim your rewards each day!
Collect bonuses (while collecting after a certain amount of time you will see the arts and crafts item appear above that sims head, click to collect the bonus item!)
Continue collecting arts and crafts items- this is the last step but the event is not over, keep collecting the arts and crafts to unlock everything!
If you want to speed up a collecting arts and crafts action it will cost you SPs, you will get the bonus arts and craft items as well if you speed it up!

Restock 18 uses which happens instantly but will cost you 10SP or
Restock 9 uses which will take you 2 hours 30 minutes but will be free
NOTE:
if you store the station you will lose all the stock so when you place it again you will need to restock

26.Fine Diner- you can only claim this pack if you have purchased all the other packs in this live event
This house can be found under the driveway homes tab and built on a standard or premium residence, the first one is free then they cost simoleons depending on how many houses you have already built. You can add up to 4 cars to this house lot!
The other three car parking spaces need to be unlocked by purchasing with simoleons:
Additional Space One: S250,000
Additional Space Two: S750,000
Additional Space Three: S1,500,000
Once you purchase an additional space you will be able to add another car but you need to have more than one adult/senior sim living in this house to add more than one car otherwise it will just switch their car to the new one you have just brought. For example if you wanted 3 cars in this house you need 3 adult or senior sims living in this house.
The restaurant is the same on both the standard and premium, the only thing that differs is the patio area is bigger on the premium residence, although you only get two more tables even though there is a lot more room!
I don’t really see the point in building this on a house lot, it seems a waste of room when you could build a house instead as we already have a restaurant in Simtown!
