RESULTS: Do you want EA to add more profession careers?

September 8, 2016January 15, 2019 weightlessmagic46 Comments

It turns out that players do want more profession careers!

Not me though..

In my opinion I have enjoyed the game a lot less since these professions have been added and if I wasn’t blogging about this game I wouldn’t complete these careers. I was so excited about the police update and I loved the idea of the new professions but I really don’t think it works the way it currently is.

I have spent a lot of the summer glued to my game to try and get as much done as possible before I start back at college as there is no way I am going to be able to complete the quotas to earn the resources needed to build and upgrade my workstations when I am busy all day.

I get that this is meant to be a long term mission but some people only have time to play for an hour or so a day- if you can’t spend more than a few hours playing you are not going to be able to complete the quota any day so will be unable to build any of the workstations as they all require a lot of resources to build. I really think there needs to be another way to earn a larger amount of resources- also I love the idea someone suggested of carrying over the quota to the next day!

Also sims often come in who you are unable to help yet as you have unlocked a workstation but haven’t managed to build it yet. It would be great if these sims didn’t show up until the workstation is built.

The finally issue I am going to mention is the timings for tasks- they get so long! How you are meant to complete the quota without having to use LPs when several sims need help with an hour task (or even longer!) I have no idea!

EA please turn this back into a game- instead of a full time job!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS QUEST

please read before asking

How do I start this discovery quest?
Build the simtown express to start this quest

Why can’t I do this discovery quest yet?
You cannot do more than one discovery quest at the same time, if you are currently on another one (the list can be found here) you will not be able to do this one until that one is completed

Help! I have built the hospital before the simtown express now I cannot build the simtown express, what should I do?You will need to contact the makers so they can fix this issue for you

Can I do discovery quests at the same time as a main quest?
Yes you can

Do I have to do this quest?
If you don’t start building the simtown express you don’t have to do this quest at all but if you have already started building or started this quest you need to complete it before you can move on to the next quest

I haven’t started this quest yet, will it still be available when I want to do it?
Yes it will be, you can choose to start it whenever you like

I can’t complete the train demonstration, why?
Thomas needs to be at the park to be able to complete this, if he isn’t, go back to the house he was last at, find him and then go back to the park. If he still doesn’t arrive at the park, click on the whistle on the simtracker to bring him there.

What do I get if I complete this quest in the time limit?
Toddler train conductor outfit, the one that Thomas wears in this quest

What happens if I don’t complete in the time limit, can I still finish this quest?
Yes you have to finish it to unlock the downtown area and hospital before you can move onto the next quest

I didn’t complete in the time limit, can I restart the quest?
No, you cannot redo quests

Can I still get the prize if I don’t complete in the time limit?
No, the only way to get the limited time prizes is by completing the quest in the time limit

I don’t like this quest! Can I just skip it?
No, you have to complete this quest before you can move onto the next one now that you have started it, if you don’t start building the simtown express you don’t have to do this quest but once it is built the quest will begin

I don’t understand the Hospital Career, can you help?
This post explains all about Profession Careers so give it a read if you are stuck

Some times are slightly different on my game, why is this?
Times may vary depending on the star rating of the item you are using, as the higher star rating an item has the quicker you will complete a goal

Some times are really off/ different goals show for me, why is this?
This will be because the quest has been updated recently, I try my best to keep these posts up to date but it is difficult as I cannot redo every quest each time the game is updated. If you notice any changes please let me know so I can update the post

THE SIMS FREEPLAY

VOTE: Do you want EA to add more profession careers?

August 28, 2016January 15, 2019 weightlessmagic39 Comments

Hi everyone! I’m just wondering what you all think of these new profession careers (police and movie star), would you like the makers of the sims freeplay to add more to the game?

NOTE: I know I put ‘no they are boring!’ But even if you don’t think they are boring, they are time consuming or you have another reason for not liking them still vote no if you don’t want them to add anymore!

If you voted yes I would love to know why- I have heard a lot about why people have voted no but not much from the those who enjoy these new careers!

The Sims Freeplay- The Pet Park

August 24, 2016January 16, 2019 weightlessmagic8 Comments

This is a guide to the pet park, once you complete the life dreams and legacies quest you will have the ability to unlock the pet park.

Requires 2 Bronze Animal Fanatic Orbs and 4 Silver Animal Fanatic Orbs to build

This post explains how you earn orbs

Once you unlock the pet park you unlock the Dog Obedience hobby for adults, seniors and teens

There are two other hobbies at the pet park, Dog Agility and Cat Show, these both require orbs to build the areas to start these hobbies:

Dog Agility: Requires 3 Silver Animal Fanatic Orbs and 2 Gold Animal Fanatic Orbs

Cat Show: Requires 1 Platinum Animal Fanatic Orb and 3 Gold Animal Fanatic Orbs

You can have sims judge and watch the cat show but you do not need them to complete this hobby, you only need a sim to partake in the cat show hobby

What else is at the pet park?

One final area requires orbs to build

Nine Lives Cafe: Requires 2 Silver Animal Fanatic Orbs and 3 Gold Animal Fanatic Orbs to build

A sim can wait on tables while another sim waits for coffee, there is also a cat run in the cafe for your cats to use while they are at the pet park
The dog pool unlocks when you build the pet park, this can be used by your dogs

How do I send my dogs and cats to the pet park?

To be able to send them to the pet park they need to be wearing collars, you can buy collars for them from the Pet Salon. Once they have a collar click on that pet and select ‘send to pet park’

I really like that cats and dogs can be included in the game more when you build the pet park however it does seem to take a long time to build all the places in this park so I would recommend only using Animal Fanatic Orbs to build the park, use the other orbs to pause your sims.

Thanks for reading!
