This house guide is going to show you the penthouse and 3 story apartments that can be built in downtown, where the hospital is located. There are currently four penthouse templates that can be built on 3 house lots (that you unlock once you have completed the Sims and the City Discovery Quest) and a 3 story luxury apartment (that you unlock if you complete the Downtown Developer Event in the time limit) in downtown.

Watch my step by step video of the quest here:
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS QUEST
please read before asking
How do I start this discovery quest?
Once you have completed the simtown express quest you can find the director in the park 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
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 the quest you don’t have to do it at all but if you have already started it 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
Does it matter what option I choose for ‘tell a story of the park’?
No but I went for the one with the shortest time!
Does it matter what option I choose for ‘boast about a visitor’?
No but again I went for the one with the shortest time!
What do you mean when you say a goal can be started early?
Any goal that you can normally do can be started early because you will have access to it and any goal that you can’t normally do you will have to wait until you get the goal to be able to complete it
The tip with this method is to put the sim doing that action early in a different house that you cannot go to until you get that goal or it will not work
Help! I can’t give the donuts to a sim, why? You need to find two sims who are strangers to be able to give them the donuts, they can’t have interacted before
What do I get if I complete this quest in the time limit?
You unlock celebrity fashion outfits
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 penthouse apartments before you can move onto the next quest
What do the penthouse apartments look like?
You can find all about them in this post
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 it you don’t have to do it
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
