The Sims Freeplay: How do I have so many LPs?

January 14, 2015January 15, 2019 weightlessmagic146 Comments

I constantly get asked this question, “how do you have so many LPs? I don’t have any!”

The one word answer: Cooking!

The cooking hobby is the best way I have found of making a lot of LPs very quickly, some people seem confused about how this works so I will be explaining exactly what I do in this post.

Firstly you need to complete the Bread Winner Quest to unlock the cooking hobby

Then you need:

Sims– as many as possible, you can have 1-10 in one house, obviously the more you have the quicker you are going to complete the collection
Oven, Toaster and Counter for each sim– if you have 6 sims, you will need 6 ovens, 6 toasters and 6 counters (TIP: if you have a toaster on a corner counter and it cannot be accessed by any sim you only need one toaster in the house for all sims to use)
Space– I use an empty house with all sims in one room, they are spaced out in their own workspaces with an oven and toaster on the counter, just so another sim doesn’t get in their way and cause them to cook a meal without getting a collectible- this can happen if they are squashed together. NOTE: you don’t need all your sims in one house, I just do because it is easier

Next you need to start cooking!

The one minute option, cheese and tomato on toast is the one you want to select

So click on the oven, click cooking and then on cheese and tomato on toast, it costs S5 each time but you get a lot more simoleons back when you find a new item.

Every time you make a dish a plate is left on the floor, I clean each one up after each dish is made, otherwise the house will be full of dishes and it really slows down the game.

TIP: If you have no sinks in the house, they will take the plates to the trashcan. A quick way to get rid of the plates is that if you kick over the trashcan the plates will just disappear OR if you store all the doors and remove all sinks from the room then the plates should disappear!

Black circle under plates– if a black circle appears under your plate this means you have so many plates in one pile so when you clean up it will take you several goes at cleaning (as you have so many plates to clean up) before the black circle will gradually decrease and the plates will disappear.

TIP: to save time click clean up, then cancel the action when they bend down to pick it up, the dish will disappear and you save some time!

Once you have completed the whole collection you will get 5LPs (you need to complete this hobby once to unlock chopping boards before you start earning LPs when you complete it) with lots of sims you can complete this collection in under an hour!

Make sure you then click restart collection before another sim finishes making the dish

This video shows me completing the cooking hobby very quickly:

You also earn simoleons!

Each time you find a new collectible:

Spatula
Bronze= S25
Silver= S60
Gold= S150
Grater
Bronze= S25
Silver= S80
Gold= S250
Chefs Knife
Bronze= S50
Silver= S100
Gold= S275
Whisk
Bronze= S75
Silver= S200
Gold= S500
Rolling Pin
Bronze= S500
Silver= S500
Gold= S500
Measuring Spoon
Bronze= S500
Silver= S500
Gold= S500

And XPs!

Each row you complete you get an XP reward:

1st- 750XPs
2nd- 1000XPs
3rd- 1500XPs
4th- 2000XPs
5th- 3000XPs
6th- 5000XPs

And a reward for each time you level up:

Level 2 Hot Mess Maker= 250XPs
Level 3 Ready Meal Maestro= 500XPs
Level 4 Home Cooking Hero= S750
Level 5 Flavor Savior= 10,000 town value
Level 6 Hail to the Chef= 1LP

Once your sim gets to level 6 cooking it is a good idea to put them onto a different hobby for one go at that, I use the ghost hunters hobby as it is quite quick too, then I go back to cooking to start from level 1 again.

This means you will get more money, XPs, town value and an LP for levelling up to level 6 again.

Don’t worry- going back to level 1 doesn’t mean they will just find level 1 items as you have unlocked them all now!

Hope this helps!

The Sims Freeplay- Hobbies: Breakdancing

January 11, 2015March 23, 2020 weightlessmagic87 Comments

A DANCE TO REMEMBER – BOOM BOX – TEEN OR ADULT SIMS – PRIZES: BREAKDANCING THEMED ITEMS AND 5LP

TIME LIMITED HOBBY – TIME: 7 DAYS – TIME LIMITED PRIZE: DJ BOOTH

Once you complete the Salsa Dancing hobby you will be able to complete this hobby using your teen or adult sims, to begin this hobby you need to buy the boom box from the promotions r us store for S5,000 and place it in one of your sims houses:

I cannot place the boom box, it says its locked/ limited item, what do I do? You will have this problem if you try and place it from the new items tab, look in your inventory instead to be able to place the boom box in one of your sims houses.

The 7 day time limit will begin as soon as you complete the salsa dancing hobby, if you complete the breakdancing hobby in the time limit you will unlock the DJ booth:

Your teen or adult sim needs to click on the boom box and select one of the options:

Quick Break- 1 hour 30 minutes
Long Break- 10 hours 30 minutes

NOTE: the first time you complete this hobby you can only buy one boom box so only one sim can complete this hobby but you can send another sim to a neighbours town to complete this hobby (if they have a boom box) after the first time as many sims as you want can complete this hobby as you can buy as many boom boxes as you want

After the time has passed come back and click the exclamation mark above your sims head to find one of the breakdancing collectibles. Every time your sims complete one of the options above their breakdancing hobby skill level up percentage will increase, once they reach 100% they will level up, there are 6 levels. You need to reach level 6 to be able to unlock all of the breakdancing collectibles, once unlocked you will be able to find them.

The table below shows the level up percentage for each option:

This may change in future updates

LEVEL	1 hour 30 minutes	10 hours 30 minutes
1-2	85%	330%
2-3	42%	165%
3-4	36%	141%
4-5	23%	89%
5-6	18%	70%

NOTE: it says 330% but you will start from 0% at level 2

The next table shows you for each level what breakdancing collectibles you unlock (so you can then find those ones too) and also the level up reward that a second and future sims will receive when they level up in this hobby:

LEVEL	TITLE	1st TIME LEVEL UP UNLOCKS	2nd+ TIMES LEVEL UP REWARD
1	Biting Breaker	Top Rock and Six Step are unlocked in the hobby collection	–
2	Foundation Fanatic	Helicopter and Baby Freeze are now unlocked in the hobby collection	250XP
3	Power Move Monster	Hollowback and Air Chair are now unlocked in the hobby collection	500XP

6	Legendary Style Head	Elbow Spinner, Air Flares and One-Handed Chair Flare are now unlocked in the hobby collection. You can now complete the collection!	1LP

NOTE: only the first sim completing this hobby needs to get to level 6 to unlock all the collectibles, future sims will be able to find any collectible even if they are only on level 1 in this hobby (and they can do the shortest option to try and find the collectibles quicker!)

You won’t find a new collectible each time, you will get repeats, if this happens just keep going, you will find them eventually! If it is still taking too long you can use the lucky spin on the row where you cannot find the item, this will cost LPs, when you click on the LP button it will clear the row and give you a random collectible on that row so you aren’t guaranteed a new item (you will get back any other collectibles you already had in that row) Need to earn some LPs to use the lucky spin?

The completed breakdancing collection is shown below, once you complete the collection you need to click ‘start a new collection/restart breakdancing trophies’ at the top of the hobby collection screen, this clears the board so you can complete the collection again to earn more rewards (you will only get the option to restart the hobby collection when you have completed the collection):

You will earn XPs when you complete a row in the hobby but to complete the collection you need to find all 12 of the collectibles

If you complete this hobby in the time limit you will unlock the DJ Booth, you can find it in the electronics section and it costs S100,000! (far too expensive!) And a sim can’t even dance while another is DJing

The rewards for completing this collection are the breakdancing themed items and 5 LP:

The first time you complete this collection you unlock the breakdancing themed items (even if you don’t manage to complete in the time limit) it seems to just be lights, wallpaper and flooring:

I was hoping for some breakdancing outfits!

From the second time onwards each time you complete the collection you will earn 5LP
