The Sims Freeplay- Best Another Sim Town Houses to Visit

weightlessmagic2 Comments

Another Simtown has had a very big makeover in recent updates making it much easier to complete many Social Tasks in the default town (but impossible to complete others!) In this post I will be listing the best houses to visit in Another Simtown that contain the majority of the items you will need to complete Social Tasks so you don’t have to keep moving houses as well as tables that show the items available in each house so you can easily find something specific.

I will be talking about these houses as numbers as it is the easiest way to explain their location, the images below show each houses location in Simtown and the Mysterious Island.

Simtown (houses 1-25):

Mysterious Island (houses 26-37):


Which items are missing? None of the houses have a firepole, preteen bookshelf or ghost hunting items.

Items in all houses can be found in the tables below, yellow highlight means it can be found in that house or it is the best star rated item in that row:

Below are the most important houses you will need to visit as these all contain items you can only find in one house:

1foosball, dog and frisbee
2movie camera and woodworking bench
3fashion studio and trampoline
17kettle, fire hydrant, auction podium, telescope and soccer ball
22cat
363 star study desk

Using the above houses you can find most of the items but some of them are missing from these houses or contain items with a lower star rating so we need to visit two more houses to find everything we need 25 and 27.

To conclude you will need to visit houses 1, 2, 3, 17, 22, 25, 27 and 36 to find all the items you need.

Watch my video to see where the most important items can be found in these 8 houses:

The Sims Freeplay- Items Needed To Create The Best Social Tasks House!

weightlessmagic26 Comments

Do you often visit a neighbours town and you cannot find the items you need to complete social tasks in one place? This post will stop you being that neighbour and instead be able to create a house full of all the social items needed so you can become the best neighbour in simtown!

find my list of Social Tasks here

The house ideally needs to be at least 2 storys so you can add a firepole

Garden Items:

  • A pool with an inflatable pool toy and a diving board
  • A pool for your neighbours to clean (doesn’t have to be a dirty pool)

TIP: I think its best to have 2 pools, one clean and one dirty so if your neighbour is looking to swim they don’t have to clean the pool first

  • Poolside Recliner
  • Sleeping Bag
  • Garden Patch to plant:

TIP: again you could have two garden patches, one that they can use to plant and the other one with a sim eating plant that they can negotiate with it (grow lettuce until it turns into a sim eating plant)

Pets:

  • A Cat
  • A Dog and a Frisbee

Main Career and Hobby Items (these can be brought from the promotions r us store once they have been unlocked):

  • Auction Podium
  • Guitar
  • Easel
  • Telescope
  • Camera
  • Soccer Ball
  • Fashion Studio
  • Fire Hydrant
  • Mirror
  • Woodworking Bench

I’m not sure exactly how many of the hobbies appear in social tasks so I’ve only listed the most commonly asked for hobby items here but I would recommend you have all the hobby items you can in this one house. My house below is still a working progress, each time I unlock a new hobby I add that item to the house, some may not be needed to complete tasks but they will be helpful for neighbours completing time limited hobby events!

  •  Haunted Items– for the ghost hunting hobby (these can be found in buy mode, look for the red ghost symbol!)

img_7640

Other Important Items:

  • Car
  • Teen Study Desk
  • Preteen Bookshelf
  • MP3 Player
  • Magazines
  • BBQ
  • Foosball Table (although there is one in Another Simtown!)
  • Trampoline
  • Phone
  • TV
  • Stereo
  • Computer
  • Toddler Building Blocks
  • Bookcase
  • Toilet
  • Sink
  • Shower
  • Bed
  • Wardrobe
  • Sofa
  • Chair
  • Bath
  • Coffee Machine
  • Teapot
  • Fridge
  • Oven:

TIP: It is best to have 2 ovens, a normal one so your neighbours can bake items and the other one that is on fire (cook brownies until they cause a fire so your neighbours can extinguish it)

 

Also its great if you have some places in your town such as The Mall, Community Center, Campgrounds and Snow Park built!

 

What about a pet farm? When it was possible to have more than 2 pets in a house some players created pet farms which neighbours like to visit to find treasure from these pets quickly, it isn’t possible to make one anymore.

 

Once you have finished editing your house you will need to Save to the Cloud so your neighbours can see the changes you have made.

Best Houses in Another Sim Town to Visit

The Sims Freeplay- Visiting Neighbours

weightlessmagic29 Comments

In this post I will show you how to visit neighbours in The Sims Freeplay. You need to be level 9 or above before you can access the party boat and start completing social tasks.

Click on the world symbol (flashes to a gift) to access the party boat:

  

TIP: It is a good idea to have a look at your active goal tab to find out what goal you need to do at a neighbours before you send anyone there, you don’t want to waste time sending an adult when a preteen needs to do the goal.

1.Click on the party boat and find the neighbour you want to visit and click on visit:

image2.Select the sim you want to send there, only a sim who isn’t busy can go.

Remember:

Only one sim can visit a neighbour at once

You can only visit one neighbour at a time

Babies and Toddlers cannot visit neighbours

Completing Social Tasks allows you to earn Social Points

image3.Select the object in your neighbours town to complete the social tasks goal, this will be the only active task you can see while at a neighbours. You can find my list of social tasks here

4.You can now leave your sim at the neighbours town and go back to your town by clicking on the green world symbol with the arrow (they will stay as long as they are busy):

image5.They will show up first on your simtracker back home, there you can click on them to go back to your neighbours:

image6.When your sim has finished the task you will need to go back to your neighbours town to either start them on a new task or bring them home which can be done by clicking the green world symbol while they aren’t busy or by clicking on the house with the arrow in it symbol on the simtracker:

image

When you go back to the neighbours town to see them when they finish a task they will return home if they have been in a neighbours town too long

Frequently Asked Questions:

How long do they stay at a neighbours?
They will stay there about a day unless they are busy or you don’t check on them, then they will stay longer.

Can they return from a neighbours on their own?
No, you need to go back to the neighbours to bring your sim home.

Will my neighbour know I was in their town?
Your neighbour won’t know you have visited them, any action you do in their town will not affect their game.

Help! My neighbours can’t see an item in my town, why is that?
They can’t see it because they aren’t seeing the most up to date version of your game, you need to connect to the cloud for them to see this version of your game.

Do you have a list of Social Tasks?
Yes, you can find that post here!

The Sims Freeplay- The Cloud: Saving the Game

weightlessmagic175 Comments

Connecting to the cloud is how you save your game so if you ever have a problem with your device or want to change devices knowing how to connect to the cloud will stop you from losing your game, for example, if you wanted to change your device you would be able to get your game onto that new device within 7 days and you won’t have to start all over again- it is a good idea to do it everyday just as a back up in case! (it does automatically do it if you connect to the party boat but it is always useful to know how to do it yourself)

Connecting to the Cloud

To connect to the cloud you need to firstly be connected to Facebook, Apple, Game Center or Google Play Games (how to connect to Facebook and Game Center are covered in my Adding Neighbours post as both these can be used to add neighbours)

Sign in with Apple is a new option for Apple products so you can sign in with your Apple ID (on the settings screen- see under ‘uploading’ in this post- click on the key button (bottom right) to sign in with your Apple ID:

Sorry I no longer have an Android so I cannot show you how to connect your game to Google Play Games (this is where you download your games from)

Uploading

Once connected go into settings in the game (click on the green button with 3 white dots on it) you will then see these options:

Click on the cloud button and you will see this window appear:

image

Click upload save data and your game will be saved

Click here to watch my video on how to save to the cloud

Help! My neighbours can’t see an item in my town, why is that? They can’t see it because they aren’t seeing the most up to date version of your game, you need to connect to the cloud for them to see this version of your game.

Downloading

If you are transferring to a different device you can select on that device from in the game ‘download save data’ and you will have your game back as long as you are connected to the same account that you saved your game from on your other device:

20150311-141049.jpg

NOTE: if you are planning to go from an Android to an Apple or the other way around and you want to keep your game, make sure you save to Facebook as this is the only option to save available on both devices.

Unable to connect to the cloud?

If you can’t connect click on the Facebook icon in the settings and it will probably say unknown user so log out and log in again and it should work! If it still isn’t working you may want to contact the makers to see if there is anything they can do to fix this for you, this post explains how to contact them if you are unsure.
