Update available from 28th April 10:30pm UTC

The latest Sims Freeplay update continues the family farmhouse theme and there is a big change in store. Keep reading for more information

COMMUNITY MARKET

The Community Market is the new way to earn simoleons, customers will request items that you will need to trade to make simoleons. Gardening has been moved to the community market so your sims will be able to grow seeds that customers ask for and fufill their orders to earn simoleons and other rewards, this means you can no longer grow seeds at your own houses. For more information read my Community Market post here.

THE SIMS FREEPLAY

The Sims Freeplay- Community Market

April 23, 2025July 28, 2025 weightlessmagic38 Comments

AD | Early Access to Beta Provided by EA/ Firemonkeys (Presented by EA Creator Network) may differ from actual version

A big change is coming to The Sims Freeplay in the Family Farmhouse: Spring to Action update available from 28th April 2025, instead of gardening on our home lots we now have a dedicated space to grow called the Community Market, in this post I will explain how it works.

The Community Market can be found near the park:

At the Community Market you will receive requests from customers, you need to grow the items they require to complete their requests and earn simoleons.

Clicking on a customer directly or on the stall where Patty Cakes is will show you all the customers and what each of them requires as well as your reward:

If you already have enough of an item it will be green with a tick, once all items are ticked off you can click fulfill to receive the reward:

There are 10 garden patches here you can use to grow but when you first start only one is unlocked, you will need to level up to unlock the other 9 and then use simoleons to unlock them:

Garden patch	Level unlock	Cost	Time taken
1	already unlocked	free
2	5	S500	1 minute
3	6	S1,000	2 minutes
4	10	S5,000	8 minutes
5	15	S10,000	16 minutes
6	20	S25,000	32 minutes
7	25	S50,000	1 hour 4 minutes
8	30	S75,000	2 hours 8 minutes
9	35	S100,000	4 hours 16 minutes
10	40	S125,000	8 hours 32 minutes

To plant you need to click on the garden patch and drag the seeds to a garden patch:

Any sim who is not busy will appear at the Community Market to grow those seeds. If all your sims are busy you will not be able to plant.

If you want to see the cost of the seeds or how long it takes to grow click and hold when you click on the seeds and this information will appear:

Below I have included a table with all the seeds you can unlock, the levels they unlock at, cost to plant them and time taken to grow:

Seeds	Level unlock	Cost	Time taken
Lettuce	5	S4	1 minute
Tomatoes	5	S8	2 minutes
Beans	5	S16	4 minutes
Corn	6	S20	5 minutes
Wheat	7	S24	6 minutes
Carrots	8	S28	7 minutes
Chilli Pepper	9	S32	8 minutes
Bell Peppers	10	S36	9 minutes
Strawberries	12	S40	10 minutes
Pumpkin	14	S44	11 minutes
Potatoes	16	S48	12 minutes
Onions	18	S52	13 minutes
Spinach	20	S56	14 minutes
Garlic	22	S60	15 minutes
Eggplant	24	S80	20 minutes
Zucchini	26	S100	25 minutes
Watermelons	28	S120	30 minutes
Hamburger Plant	30	S140	35 minutes
24-carat Carrot	32	S160	40 minutes

Once the time is up the produce will be ready to collect, click on the fully grown items and the produce will go into the storage shed:

There is only so much space available to store items. If Bree is a customer she will reward you with tools needed to increase the storage:

410>415 17 Hammers, 17 Nails & 16 Wood
415 fully upgraded

You can also sell excess items from the storage shed:

For those who are interested I have included the sell price for each item before and after this change. The sell price is just how much you get by selling through storage, not from completing customer requests:

Seeds	Sell price before (inspired sims)	Sell price now
Lettuce	906	4
Tomatoes	2918	10
Beans	1145	21
Corn	137	27
Wheat	Not available before	28
Carrots	45	29
Chilli Pepper	267	30
Bell Peppers	4	32
Strawberries	4156	35
Pumpkin	774	39
Potatoes	404	42
Onions	1063	43
Spinach	8700 (cost 1LP to grow)	46
Garlic	295	47
Eggplant	4374	60
Zucchini	654	75
Watermelons	234	90
Hamburger Plant	1068	105
24-carat Carrot	3300 (cost 2LP to grow)	120

If you do not have enough items you can fulfill using LP or skip an order with the bin icon, you will then need to wait for the next order to arrive:

Can I still garden at home? Garden patches are still available but can only be used for growing Simoleon Sprouts, Life Point Lotus and Social Point Flowers.

However you will unlock fully grown versions of each vegetable when you unlock the seeds at the community market to place on house lots to use as decor:

If you have any plants growing or had any stored gardening seeds when you update you will be rewarded the xp or simoleons from these.

The aim of this is to shorten the amount of time it takes to earn simoleons from gardening, I do agree that you can earn a lot more simoleons in a short space of time but it is not very useful for players who cannot be on the game as much and we can no longer earn simoleons planting overnight! When I tested this feature I also found it difficult to earn enough experience points to level up without those gardening XP. Time will tell if this actually is a good way to earn more money.

Let me know your thoughts on this new feature!

Constructor Coins

You earn constructor coins by:

Personal Progress prizes

Completing Daily Goals

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.

Check out my Guide to Completing Craft Challenges [Live Events] (including tips!) HERE!

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!

This allows the makers to add more items with a similar theme to the game without being restricted by how much they can fit into one update.
The in game lighting has had an update called ‘Enhanced Lighting‘ which improves the lighting on house lots, you will be able to see light streaming through windows and the warm glow of fireplaces as well as the shadows moving through different times of the day:

This feature can be turned on and off in the options settings, under graphics:

NOTE: older devices will not have this feature, you will only see the classic (original) lighting option

Lights also have more options when you click on them. Auto lights are now called sensor lights, you can turn all lights in a house on or off at the same time and night lights turn on at 7pm and off at 7am:

The Paperboy will be giving double rewards between 13th-17th March, 28th- 31st March and 17th-23rd April
