Why are there two versions of some quests?
Some quests have two versions, as when the makers have updated the times for quests they haven’t updated them on all devices so some players still get the old times
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
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

What is the difference between The Sims Freeplay and The Sims Mobile?
The Girl Who Games 
I did the garden thing with all my Sims. I have tomatoes unlocked. I’m only on level 10 after I started them on it it said great for wanting to inspire them but to be careful because they were experimental and they could change into something else. Is it something that will kill all my sims or will I just not get the 3,000 for each sim? It takes six hours for them to complete this task.
It could turn into a sim eating plant, it doesn’t kill your sims but if it turns into one you won’t earn the money or xps you would have done if it became tomatoes and you will then need to negotiate with it to be able to use the garden patch again, this is explained in this post: https://thegirlwhogames.blog/2016/06/06/the-sims-freeplay-symbols-explained/
Hi. Does it have to be a cat for my toddler to play with in the life dreams? I haven’t had cat whisperer come up as an option so have just been catching it! But just realised I have a kitten and not a cat, does it need to be a cat? Or is there a way I can change the toddlers life dream as I don’t have enough lps to bake a cake atm.
Thank you, and for all the tips I have gotten from you also.
Yes it needs to be a cat not a kitten, you can find how to change a sims life dream in this post: https://thegirlwhogames.blog/2016/02/27/the-sims-freeplay-life-dreams-and-legacies-faqs/ (its easy to understand with the pictures!)
You’re welcome!
Help cannot open my game.? Have followed all advice from ea but no good..
Have you been to the app store and downloaded the extra update? This update fixes the issue where the game keeps closing.
Hey Charlotte ! How Can i add you in the sims freeplay? Thanks :3
Hi! What device are you playing on? I can currently only add neighbours through google play on my android as my game center is full so I won’t be able to add you if you play on an apple device
Hi, I have my sims game on my ipad but the ipad is getting kinda old and not working the best, was wondering if theres a way to move my sims onto another device without losing all my progress?
Yes, only apple devices have game center so if you are saving to the cloud using that and you want to move to an android or other device then you will need to log in with facebook in the settings instead to save to the cloud and upload your save data (https://thegirlwhogames.blog/2014/09/24/the-sims-freeplay-the-cloud/) then on your new device you need to log in with whichever platform and account you saved with so if its facebook log into your facebook and select download save data to get your old game onto your new device.
How do I make a teen drink a skinny latte? With a teen active, I selected a coffee machine and the only option it gives is ‘Espresso’ and that does not complete the goal.
Maybe try a different coffee machine as there should be four options for teens: espresso, double shot, skinny latte and fancy coffee.

Thanks! Of course you can, just link this blog 🙂

Which one is more beneficial to build? The mall or the royal lineage?
Your blog is really helpful! Thank you very much!
Well, if you don’t mind… can you take a photo/screenshot places such as mall, castle, carnaval, arcade, etc. And then post it on this blog. Well, I’m currently on level 27 and had a low simoleons so I’m really curious about other places!
Thanks!
I wonder about you currently level too..
You’re welcome! I already have created posts on all of those places, you can find all sims freeplay posts on this page: https://thegirlwhogames.blog/sims-freeplay/all-posts/
I already linked you the mall and castle in your previous comment

How do I get previously married Sims that are now divorced back together again?
Get them to be romantic until they get the option to get married again, it takes a little longer from being divorced but just keep going!
It seems like this is the last resort, ha ha ha. This is really an amazing blog. I just started playing like a month ago (just made level 15!!!). Every time I have a question/issue I search Google and I always end up here!!! Thanks for the effort you put into this page.
Ok, enough of that. I do really need some help. So I have 2 vacant houses, a baby on the way, but I can’t add a new sim. I have 8/16 sims. There is NO WAY that my married sims are having 8 babies. When I click on vacant house all I get it a greyed out add option.
Any thought on what I can do???
You’re welcome! Once the baby has arrived you will be able to add a new sim to your town, you can’t currently do that because the baby is on its way 🙂
Hi! I love your blog & it’s been so helpful. Thank you! I’m currently at Level 55 & I have $100,000,000 so I can’t make any more money or advance really. I love my game & play daily, but I’m starting to get bored. I haven’t yet completed the Life Dreams & Legacies Quest (I’m at about 70%) because I was on the fence regarding my SIMS dying. I’ve decided to finish upgrading my workplaces first (I have two left to complete) and then I’m going to finish the last quest. I’ve read through your posts regarding this quest & it’s very detailed, but seems overwhelming to me. My question is should I make all of my SIMS adults before starting this last quest? I have 1 toddler, 1 preteen, 4 teens, 1 senior & the rest are adults. I am currently having them working on their hobbies over & over so I can earn LP’s. I’d like to have myself in the best possible situation before beginning this last quest. Any advice & guidance is appreciated! Thank you!
Thanks, I’m glad it helps!
You are probably bored because you haven’t completed that last quest, it does make things a bit interesting!
There is no need to make all your sims adults before starting the quest, even if you don’t give them life dreams they will still age, after your first batch of sims have passed on it is best to have mostly adults in your town to complete life dreams but ageing them up now will just cost you a lot of LPs!
Do you know if the sims mobile will be available on kindle fire when it is released?
No idea, sorry! Let’s hope so!
Have they fixed the issue about urns. I have had three seniors pass and can’t find urns for them.
They have never left urns behind when they pass on, they leave behind orbs if you complete their life dreams within their life.
First off, I just want 2 thank u 4 your blog. It has been incredibly helpful and when any new quests or any live event hits I always stop here and check. But I have a question that i was hoping you have an answer 2…I’m at level 53 and can have a total of 35 sims but with them adding on to the hospital area with homes, i was wondering if they might add to the amount of sims to a town? Or what the max amount of sims a town can have? Thank you
You’re welcome! I’m glad it helps!
Unfortunately building downtown doesn’t increase the amount of sims you can have in your town, the maximum is 34 unless you are VIP 10 then you can add another sim to your town.
Wow! You’ve really put your time in ti this, this is really great I can find all the anwser here 😁😁😁👍👍👍
I’m glad it helps! 🙂
Hiya! I just wanted to point out a few things (I’ve been a wanderer on your blog for quite some time, remember when it was a .wordpress). I’ve noticed on my iPhone’s Chrome your blog is the only site I ever have issues with, and I can never see anything on the site as it crashes instantly. Also, for some reason I never see this website on results when I’m using Yahoo! search engine. I just wanted to make sure you were aware of these issues. Thanks, Hannah
Sorry about that! I have not had that issue myself when I view it on my phone but I have just by chance found a button that optimises it for mobile while looking for something else so hopefully it should be better now! Please let me know if that has helped
As for yahoo I wouldn’t know how to appear there! I appear on google so that’s fine with me 🙂
i have no kids/toddlers–only 34 adults. so i will be stopped from doing any further quests after In Da Clubhouse, correct? [and i would have to send away one of my adults and get a toddler to go any further with the quests?]
You won’t be able to complete the In Da Clubhouse quest without a toddler, and yes to get one you would need to delete an adult sim to make space for a toddler.
I didn’t get to pass the quest in time for the real estate will I be able to do it again or is that the end I’ll never own it ?
You can still complete the quest once the time is up to unlock the premium residences but if you don’t complete in the time limit you will not get the house and you won’t be able to redo the quest to unlock it.
I lost a quest that of basements now i am at level 36 and i have no basements option in my menu what should i do
What do you mean you lost the quest? Do you mean you didn’t complete it in the time limit? If so then you can still complete the quest to finish it and unlock the basement option once the time is up.
I have tried to read as much as I could to try to find the answer. I wanted to see if there was a way to hold on doing quest so I can increase my money? When a quest finishes, the next one automatically starts. I’m on need for steed quest and it looks like I’m going to need a whole lot more money especially for the next one. It only gives two days to complete these quest. For this quest, I don’t care about the prize for completing on time so I’m going to try to take as long as possible. But hoping to be able to take breaks in between. Your blog has been extremely helpful! I wish I found it before I started the game!
There isn’t a way to pause quests, they will just automatically start if you have reached the level they unlock at but you can just stay on a quest for as long as you like, you will just miss out on the time limited prize if there is one. If you aren’t bothered about the prize for this quest then stay on it until you have the money saved up!
I usually can’t see the interior walls of my houses because they drop down automatically. How do I keep the interior walls from dropping, so I can admire the wallpapers, decorations, etc?
Unfortunately you can’t on this game.
I purchased the reindeer some months ago but I do not see them in the pet store. I thought it was because I did not complete the fairies quest, but I have now completed both the fairies quest and a puppy odyssey quest and I still do not see my purchased reindeer in the pet store.
Is there something I must do to get my purchased reindeer to show up in the pet store?
Go into settings and click restore purchases and it should appear.
Hello. I need your help please. I completed and built the toddler playground on a Premium lot. I just constructed a two story house in front and am trying to relocate a four person family to the new home. I made sure all the Sims were in the old house unoccupied. I even tried getting them all on the first floor of the old house. However, when I click on “relocate a family” option on the new house the family I want to relocate is grayed out. Why can’t I move the desired family. There are 2 adults and 2 toddlers along with a kitten in the family. I built the house specifically for this family. I’ll be bummed if I can’t relocate them to their perfect new home. Thanks!
When you click on the greyed out box what does it say? It should give a reason as to why you cannot move them, if they aren’t busy then it should be available.
hi! if I get a better stove does it affect the amount of time I spend cooking? I’m tired of waiting one minute for each action.
No, the cooking time doesn’t change with a higher stove.
Somehow I’ve made it to Level 11 without having the DLC downloaded. It tried to download it earlier, failed, and hasn’t popped up since. Wondering what I can do, thank you! 🙂
You just have to wait until it pops up again, it will do at some point! Then hopefully it will let you download it this time 🙂
How do you add friends using Game Center in iOS 10? Apple removed the Game Center app.
As of iOS 10 the Game Center app has been removed but you can still add neighbours unfortunately you now have to iMessage the person you want to add, not exactly sure how this works as I haven’t updated so I can still access game center. Someone kindly told me you can also allow nearby people to add you from Settings > Game Center > Allow nearby people to add you through WiFi or Bluetooth.
Thank you very much for your posts , I’m a hug fan of your blog. I have a question: is there any way of getting beards and costumes (like wizard etc.) for my senior sims (like a shop, or special quest or something). If not could you ask Fire Monkeys for it, since you give them feed back and they listen to you ? Thanks for everything!
You’re welcome and thanks! Unfortunately there aren’t any wizard costumes for senior sims (like most costumes seniors are left out!)
I can do but they do listen to all their players so you can let them know via social media your feedback 🙂
No question, just an interesting tidbit I discovered, which you may already know…
Entertainer orbs at the Senior stage, I always choose the “Get off my lawn” aka gardening just to make a little money while I’m working towards the orb, and I usually set it to every 4 hrs to coincide with the Simoleon plant as a reminder.
Have the elderly Sim spin the Simoleon plant and they earn an extra 2% bonus towards their orb, it adds up! 🌠😊
Thanks for that tip!
What do I have to press to start the love is in the air quest ?
You don’t press a button you just have to complete the two main quests that appear before it, once you are ready to begin the quest it will start automatically.
I finished the life dreams and legacies quest awhile ago but there’s this really big problem that’s stopping me from getting animal fanatic orbs—when I try to choose an animal life dream the only option is to pet cats. I don’t have the pet store yet and I know there’s other adult options because I looked at the animal fanatic life dreams list. Help? I know they are animal fanatics, I have plenty of animal fanatic options for all other age groups.
Have you contacted the makers about this issue? https://thegirlwhogames.blog/2016/05/29/the-sims-freeplay-contacting-ea-firemonkeys/ it has been a long time since I created that post so it may be that is the only option now or you may unlock more when you build the pet store.
Is it possible to stop social and weekly quests from appearing forever, if so how??
No sorry it isn’t, if you don’t want to complete them just ignore them and you won’t even see them unless you complete one!
Hello. Does anyone know if there is a way to see a sims family tree in this game?
No, you cannot see their family tree in this game.
Does your cooking hobby LP trick still work? I can’t figure out how to reset a collection…
Yes it does, you need to complete the collection to be able to reset it, once you have all the pieces you will see the reset collection button at the top of the collection screen.
I accidentally bought the stupid cinema house due to a glitch with my iPad 😭😭😭😭😭😭 Obviously I don’t want the stupid cinema house….. what would you do? Sell everything inside and redecorate? Totally demolish it?
I would sell everything inside, sell all the rooms first as if you just demolish it you won’t get any money back, once everything is deleted you can then demolish it or just build your own house.
Hi, I just started playing and finished the bread winner quest and I went to start the next when it suddenly disappeared! Any idea what’s going on??
Have you reached level 7 yet? That is when money grows on trees will begin: https://thegirlwhogames.blog/2014/02/12/the-sims-freeplay-money-grows-on-trees-quest/
I ended up glitching my game, and now when I sell the items my town worth goes down. I was at 30 mil now 14 mil. What is going to happen if my sim town gets to 0? Will I no longer be able to sell stuff? Will my game be taken?
Your town value is the value of all the buildings and items in your town so it is isn’t a glitch that it decreases when you sell items.
Tried to use the page that lists tasks for animal fanatic. You can read it for a few seconds and then it automatically jumps to the advertisement at the bottom of the page and won’t let you scroll
Sorry but I have no control over the advertising that appears, if you have a problem with an advert click on the x in the corner and it should close and hopefully you will be able to view the page.
Can a Sim build up career skills before they get that career? I have a mirror and an easel, but I can’t build the art gallery or the town hall because the stables are under construction. If one Sim uses the mirror and another Sim uses the easel to practice for those careers in the meantime, will they have a head start if they take those careers once the art gallery and town hall are built?
No you can’t, when you build the art gallery or town hall and start the career they will start from level 1 0% so using the easel or mirror beforehand doesn’t build up the career level before they start.
Hi! I followed your instructions on how to add neighbor using the Google plus and Google play games route but Google play games app has changed. It doesn’t have the options you’ve mentioned in the post. There is no option to see “players” that I have added on Google plus. Please help.
I don’t know for sure what has happened with google+ as I no longer play on an android but I was told that someone in July was still able to connect with google+ on an android with the lollipop operating system so maybe newer devices no longer have this option?
Hello, I have a quite complicated situation actually. You see, I want to let a new sim choose the doctor specialization. But since there could only be two sims choosing at the same time, I decided to abandon the old sim who was a doctor(level 9). But then, when the new sim is working, he could not perform actions that required higher level to be done. For example, he could still perform general practice (level 6 action) , but he could not perform actions in psychiatrist’s office, research laboratory and surgery room. (level 7,8 and 9 respectively) Now he was stuck in level 6 because he could not collect the third badge( help 2 important sims)as the important sim requires more experienced sim(level 7 or higher) to perform the actions mentioned above. What should I do now, considering I had upgraded all the workstations to max?
You will just need to wait until that sim leaves and a new important sim shows up if you can’t help them, then hopefully you will be able to complete their actions to complete this task and then level up.
Hi. When do community event starts? At what level?
There hasn’t been a community event for a while, they have been replaced with live events these days which usually start around level 12 but this can vary.
Hey, it’s less of a question and more of a tip because I have noticed the “how to get life points faster” post had its comment disabled. Anyways, instead of cancelling the clean up interaction, I realised that if you have no sinks in the house, they will take the dishes to the trashcan. A quick way to get rid of the dishes is that if you KICK OVER the trash Can, then the dishes will just disappear. Maybe it’s worth considering adding it to the post? Thank you and have a good day
Thanks for this, I have added it to the post 🙂
Is there a way to play two separate games on one device?
I missed some quests in the beginning becauseit was too much information to get into and it was taking a lot time to finish all these so I jumped into enjoying routin actions in the game and then after two or three months I started playing with quests. Now Im on level 31 and I just finished the weather quest with osiris which first time pop up leeeevels ago and I thought in thebeginning what the stupid quest is. So Im way behind with all the quests, I didnt do a Halloween too 😦
So I wanna try to start again and join every singl quest there is but I dont wanna lose this game eather…
Maybe not on one but on two devices is possible to play two different games?
Thanks.
I wouldn’t really recommend playing two games on one device, it is a lot of hassle and could end up with you losing a game or your progress if you didn’t save correctly. You definitely wouldn’t be able to save with the same social platform e.g. Facebook as it would overwrite your other game each time. It can work if you have two devices to play two games if you save to a different social platform.
Hi. Do you know how complete a task “Mellow out in Neighbor’s poolside recliner”???
Your neighbour needs to have a poolside recliner then your sim can select the option to mellow out on it.
Hi there,
Not been a Sims Freeplayer for very long but I’m currently working through In Da Clubhouse. I have a couple of questions to throw at you if that’s ok?
Firstly, what happens after you have completed all the set quests? Do EA leave you alone to nurture your sims and build your houses?
and lastly,
I don’t really want my sims to age and die, well, not at this point, perhaps in the future sometime? My aim is to complete the renovations quest so I can build upwards and purchase stairs, can I just stop there?
Thank you for your time,
MJ
They don’t leave you alone as that would get boring, there are always loads of new events and quests to be getting on with! Once you complete all the main quests you have discovery quests but you don’t have to complete these, they don’t pop up straight away like main quests, you have to either talk to someone in town or build something to begin them, you can find out how to start them in this post: https://thegirlwhogames.blog/2015/11/15/the-sims-freeplay-discovery-quests/ you also have time limited hobby events, live events and seasonal quests/events which are all around for a limited amount of time but you don’t have to complete these if you don’t want to: https://thegirlwhogames.blog/sims-freeplay/time-limited-events/
But if you want to stop after the multi story quest then that is fine too, just read the post on discovery quests so you don’t start one by accident if you don’t want to!
Are there any tips about relationships? I see tips for making money and LP, but with 26 sims there are sims always forgotten! It doesn’t help that babies cannot befriend toddlers.
I have a post about relationships: https://thegirlwhogames.blog/2014/05/19/the-sims-freeplay-relationships/ but I am not sure what tips I could give about them!
If you want your sims to make friends with other sims, send a group of them to the Disco. One sim will work as the DJ, and you have one of the others dance, while clicking on the floor for the others to join in. Everyone dancing gets the equivalent of “be nice” to all of the others all at once, instead of the usual one-on-one process. You can rack up quite a bit of Exp as the sims all increase their relationship levels until they hit the “best friends” point.
I just read that level 55 is the highest you can go and your sims max out at 34. If this is the case what is the point of having all the building lots because there will not be enough sims to put in all the houses and houseboats? Plus there is also the downtown area which I haven’t built yet either. I’m just so confused as to why the town is so big but the people are limited.
Btw, love following your blogs. It makes getting through quests so much easier!
I’m not really sure but it is probably to appeal to those of us who like building
Thanks, I’m glad it helps!
Hi, I just found out from another Website that NEW changes to Sims Mobile are made.
Are you going to add a post about it? Some features from version 1 won’t be in the release. It might cause confusion.
• “Explore the new Build Mode and create a fantastic home by completing collections to get bonus items
• Earn tickets through various activities and spend them on home objects, outfits, and more
• Join and change your Sims’ careers more easily
• Try Risky Actions in the culinary and fashion careers
• We’ve also made more behind-the-Sims improvements.” Now sims can go to retirement, does it mean they don’t die??
Quote from other site.
It does say in all my posts so far that the game is still being updated and as it hasn’t been released yet things are bound to change but I haven’t made that many posts on the old stuff and when I was able to download the game in December these changes were already in the game so all my recent videos are of the latest version.
