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?
How do I inspire an infant sim? When you change their diapers, it counts as hygiene and as far as I can see, there’s no way to fill their toilet needs. Other than using the special cakes and cupcakes, how am I supposed to inspire my infant sims?
Babies will go to the toilet when they need to and this fills up their bladder need which means unless they have been to the toilet recently and you have fulfilled all their other needs they won’t be able to be inspired without cakes or cupcakes- although it isn’t really a big deal if infants aren’t inspired anyway so I wouldn’t worry about it too much.
I’m trying to fake handshake as a weekly task. It’s between an adult and a teen. I have gone from dislike to nemesis and back again but it is not an option.
Is this a glitch?
Love the website. Been so helpful.
Maybe try with two adults, it should be available when they dislike each other
What’s the object cap reached and how do I get rid of it?
Object cap means this is the maximum amount of items you can add to a house lot, this is in place so you don’t crash the game everytime you load the lot. You can still place multiples of the items you already have in the house but you won’t be able to add anything new.
If you get the product red monument what does it do
The monument gives you 25XP every 4 hours but if you don’t have it there is no way to get it anymore, this was part of a limited time event only for players on apple devices back in 2014
I was just looking on the comments I on a different page and I saw that for a weekly task, someone had to watch a movie or something at midnight???? Will I have to do that because it seems riduculous to have to do that??
By the way I love your page! It’s helped me so much playing sims 😊😊
It is a possibility to get that task, you just need to start watching it at midnight and it will complete straight away though
Thanks!
What should I do if edwardo Fantasia is stuck outside the park hounds and is not doing anything and I can’t do anything?

I have tried to add friends on Game Center but it never works. I don’t know if I’m doing something or I usernames don’t work. If you have a solution, please tell me.
The method for adding neighbours using game center doesn’t really work anymore since there is no longer an app for game center, you can only really add players on game center if you can imessage them unfortunately.
In my town some of the house now have the same people in them when they didn’t used to have. Is this a problem with the game. Suddenly 3 houses have the same people in. Bizarre! Please san you help with this problem? Thanks Jan
How strange, I would suggest you contact the makers to see if they can fix this issue for you as I am unable to fix technical issues like this, this post may help if you are unsure how to contact them: https://thegirlwhogames.blog/2016/05/29/the-sims-freeplay-contacting-ea-firemonkeys/
Hi
Many thanks for your help. I have contacted them as you suggested.
Thanks for all the help you give for the game. It is brilliant.
Jan
You’re very welcome, I hope they will be able to sort this out for you.
I was just wondering if the extra buildings, like not the houses or workplaces, but the other ones, do they have a limit on how expensive they can be? When I click on one of these unbuilt buildings it says 325,000 simoleans, and I remember seeing that the limit is only 300,000? Btw I love your page and it is my go-to for any problems I have 😊
The limit is 3,500,000, this post shows you how much it costs to build each business: https://thegirlwhogames.blog/2017/05/01/the-sims-freeplay-businesses-price-increases/
Thanks!
Hello.. you have a very wonderful blog.. it helps a lot.. 😊 i just want to ask do you have any reviews for architect house? Is it worth? Because i found the price is pretty expensive..
I don’t because they change every 2 weeks and I honestly wouldn’t be able to keep that post up to date. They are very expensive for what you get most of the time, they also remove items that are unlocked in events so you don’t have access to them if you didn’t complete that event which is really unfair.
They don’t remove items you don’t have. I have LOADS of items that I haven’t unlocked yet from architect homes
I asked the makers and that is what they told me, when you see architect houses there are lots of spaces so certain items have already been removed, they may miss some occasionally but this is what they told me happens.
Hello!
I have a question about toddlers. If infants are crawling you can call them over to another place using the whistle button (I don’t know if that’s a glitch, actually). Can toddlers do the same if they are roaming free around the house?
Thank you for all your help,
Ishana
You can whistle over a toddler anyway as long as they aren’t busy, it isn’t a glitch.
Thank you!
Love the website, really helpful.
Can you move a house to a different lot or do you have to start from scratch?
Thanks, you can’t move houses to different lots unfortunately.
Will things in the deals store come back even though I already bought them?
Create a sim items won’t return as they will be unlocked for good but some buy mode items can be purchased more than once.
Hi I have a problem. In my weekly tasks I have to play frisbee with a dog. I have done this a few times but it has not completed the task so I can move on. It is not a big deal as it is just weekly tasks but next week if I don’t complete this task it will stay that way until I complete it, even if it goes into next weeks tasks.
That is correct but when you download a new update the weekly task you are on gets completed straight away so that is the best option if you don’t mind waiting.
Is there a way to have a baby have both parents? Cause now everytime my sims have a baby, the baby only has a mother relation but no father. Also I love your blog it’s been very helpful.
The have a baby option should show the father relation, it is a bit difficult with the pregnancy option as they aren’t always married so it isn’t always clear who the father is.
I deleted the candle craft station accidentally 😦 is there a way I can get it back? Also can’t find events section in the store or events tab. I’m on level 25 and don’t want to start over. Ps I love your your blog so helpful!
I’m glad it helps! You won’t see the event section until a live event starts so try again from the 1st May when the latest live event will begin and you should be able to purchase another station or if you just stored the previous one you will be able to place it again.
Hi! I really liked your blog….sadly I finished all the quests…and I don’t know what to do with the game now..Any suggestions? Thank you!
The game is regularly updated with new events and quests to complete so there is always something new to do once you have finished all the main quests
This post shows you when events and quests will begin in the current update: https://thegirlwhogames.blog/2020/04/19/the-sims-freeplay-holiday-francais-update/
Hello,
I used up all the available house lots. I demolished one house so I thought I could buy a new house. However, it didn’t work. I’ve gotten an empty lot, but the lot doesn’t revert back to a space where you can purchase a house.
Is there any way I can get a lot where I can buy a house?
You need to click on the house when no one is living in it to get the option to demolish, just deleting the rooms will give you an empty lot to build your own house but clicking on the demolish button will allow you to pick a house template to build on that lot.
Hi, thank you so much for all the help, keep doing on going because you’re doing great!

How do you do visual walk through tours on your houses?
Yes you can find them on my YouTube: https://thegirlwhogames.blog/my-youtube-videos/
In the restaurant, only one of my sims can have a meal at a time. When I click on another sim, and tap the table it doesn’t say join in, why is that?
I tried this out myself and it wouldn’t let me have more than one sim sitting at the table either, I have let the makers know so hopefully it will be fixed at some point.
hey so I first off I love your blog! I use it for everything to do with the sims FreePlay. I just wanted to have your opinion on whether I really need to buy the grocery store/supermarket or not because there are barely any savings so is it really worth it? What do you think?
Thanks! If you are trying to save money I would suggest you don’t build it now and wait until you have completed most of the quests so you can just finish of your town
i love your vlog its very helpful. can you please help me i want to figure out what happens to my newly added neighbors. because in my game it says i already have 100 neighbors (max limit) my question is will the new neighbors that i recently added still can see my name on their neighbor list or no? are we still connected if though my list is already full? thank you so much 💖
Thanks, I’m glad it helps! If you have 100 neighbours you won’t see any new ones unless they have a higher town value than one of your other 100 neighbours as it is ranked by the higher the town value, the higher they appear on the list.
Can you please help me on picking a new phone, Any phone brands you recommend??, I use Oppo A3s and it’s laggy when going to fully furnished rooms, and looks like my gameplay is not smooth
I’m not great with technology so I am probably not the best person to ask, all I can say is you want something with good RAM (random access memory) as this will help with smooth gameplay and it will stop the game from crashing so much
Can I recommend your blog in a YouTube video? Just wondering if it is ok and your blog is amazing!!!
Of course you can and thank you!
thank you very much your blog really helped me, can the live event in January, March, and May be repeated? I missed the live event 😦
Live events return often so they will probably be back one day

Hi, can this page https://thegirlwhogames.blog/2014/06/03/the-sims-freeplay-when-to-construct-buildings/ be more specific please, when to build things for scheduled timed events? Because there is now an event I can not do because I do not have the gym yet. So, what is next to expect? Because I don’t want to miss out on the next event too.
I have updated this post for you, when I first posted it we didn’t have all the events we do now but it should be more specific now. Please let me know if you think I have missed anything.
Hi do you know how I can contact the makers about a problem?
This post explains how to contact them: https://thegirlwhogames.blog/2016/05/29/the-sims-freeplay-contacting-ea-firemonkeys/
Thank you!
Hi,
Thank you for your reply.
I have also another question.
How do i add neighbors?
Aside from fb friends, Can i add friends that are not my friends in fb?
Thank you soo much
Unfortunately Facebook is really the only way to add neighbours now, there used to be a few more options but none of them really work anymore.
I love your blog, it is SO helpful! Please help me with this problem, it is driving me nuts!
Recently, my sims have been going to work as usual, but when I check back, half of them say they have 0:00:00 time at work left, and when I click on them is says they’ll be done in 17498d 0h 21m. Then, I have to cancel them, because as days go by, it stays at that same number. This only happens with non-profession shifts, and since I only have the police station, I can only successfully and two sims to work. I am trying to save up, so this is a big problem for me. If I had LP, I could speed each shift up with 7 LP, but I can’t buy them and have trouble saving them up. Also, if I send a police officer to work, but offsite, they can glitch too. Please help me!!!
Thanks!
Have you used any cheats? Issues like these usually happen if you have used a time cheat, if that is the case the makers will not help but if you haven’t cheated then contact them to see if they can fix this for you, this post explains how to contact them if you are unsure: https://thegirlwhogames.blog/2016/05/29/the-sims-freeplay-contacting-ea-firemonkeys/
Hi, I would like to ask how to get neighbors? I have 42 neighbors last time but it went down to 4. I cant even complete my social task because of this. Please help
Facebook have changed their Privacy T&Cs which means that inactive players have been removed from the party boat in the game which is why some of your neighbours may be missing
Hey, I’ve been referring to your blog for years. It’s so helpful for any limited time tasks, quests, or events. I always thought that the cooking hobby was a waste of money so I choose to design fashion, which took way longer even though it was really short (10 minutes) and gave less LP’s when completed. I figured I should give your way a try. I actually discovered you gain more money. I have 10 sims in one home cooking so the board gets refilled often. The amount of money gained from unlocking new hobby things more than pays for the cost of cooking, if anything I’ve earned money and LP’s from it. Now I’ve been able to do all of the limited time quests by speeding tasks up. I haven’t missed a prize since(except for life events which cycle back so I’m not worried about finishing those as much)! Thank you
You’re very welcome, I’m glad this has improved your experience playing the game 🙂
None of my pets will give me any lp. I haven’t played this game in a long time, so I’m not sure if this is an issue with my game or if it’s something that got changed in an update. So here’s my question, are pets supposed to give you lp?
Cheaper pets rarely give LP, you need to buy a pet with a higher star rating to have a better chance but even then you still might not get any.
Hi, your blog has been super useful to me in the past and I was wondering if you could help me please? I am trying to design a house but I got to after a while that I have too many unique objects and there’s a cap on the objects in my inventory. Nearly all the objects in my inventory have become unavailable for me to use. Why is this and how do I make them become available to me?
The limit is in place so you don’t crash the game, if you tried to place anything else most likely you won’t be able to enter that house without issues so there is no way to increase it, you can still place items that you have already placed in that house though.
Hi what is the maximum town value that you can have?
The max is 2,147,483,647
Hi, thank you for your blog, I use it for reference quite a bit.
I was wondering if you might be able to do a picture listing of the maternity pack prizes 1 through 13 on your pregnancy event page (like you have already done for the Simchase prizes)? I was looking for that info. since i have missed out on so much and found that I had to look in several different websites to find out what prizes there have been, so it might be useful to have it in one place.
Also, do you think you could suggest to the FM team that players should be able to buy those old pregnancy event prizes in the maternity store with maternity tokens after awhile. It doesn’t seem like the old prizes are going to return otherwise and we have no use for the tokens after we have bought all the normal prizes. Thank you.
You’re welcome! I have just finished that post for you: https://thegirlwhogames.blog/2020/08/13/the-sims-freeplay-pregnancy-events-maternity-prize-packs/
I hope it helps.
That is a great suggestion! I will let them know for you
Thank you so much!
I’m trying to build a house with exterior stairs and I can’t place it. I’ve made a balcony but it is still red I don’t know how to fix this. (Btw I’m using the exterior stairs from the private island)
If the balcony is flush to the room below you won’t be able to add stairs, you will need to extend the balcony so it is sticking out to be able to do this, it is hard to explain but I created a video early today on this and added a section on this to the end of this post: https://thegirlwhogames.blog/2018/01/29/the-sims-freeplay-how-to-add-exterior-balcony-stairs-and-changing-the-stairs-paving/
Thank you 😊
Hi, I have a free house from a quest. If I build that house will everything go up in price just like when I buy a new house?
Yes it will
There are two adults and they have a preteen. I wanted the adults to move into separate houses because they aren’t married. Now the preteen is somehow living in a house by himself and I don’t know how to move him in back with his parents.
Unfortunately you won’t be able to move him back with his parents now he has been separated from them. The only things you can really do are wait until the preteen is a teen and then you will be able to get the move in option with an adult or if you deleted his parents he can be adopted by another family.
How do you get them to be adopted? Is it an option when you tap on them or something?
That sims parents both need to be deleted from the game first and then an adult sim needs to be nice to them until you get the option to adopt them.
Wow that’s really cool, thanks
You’re welcome, I’ll try and get a video made on this topic at some point
Ok so my sims are doing an action for the pregnancy event- the second to last task. And it’s between two sims. When I click on one it says there’s 40 minutes left but when I click on the other sims it shows 20 minutes. Will it complete in 20 or 40 minutes???
Strange, honestly I don’t know but I would personally wait for 40 minutes until they are both done incase it doesn’t complete.
Hi I was wondering how you force quit your game, I’m not sure where to find the option?
Force quit basically just means completely closing the game, so once you’ve exited the game you need to close it as a background app too. Once you’ve done that I’d recommend restarting your device too.
Thanks so much for all you do! Your blog is awesome. I’ve been hoping for an update that includes more diversity in sims sizes and ability. It would really be nice to have representation for everyone. Is there a way to submit such a request to EA?
Thanks! I can pass on your suggestion to them or if you have social media you could contact them on there
That would be awesome if you could pass it along. Appreciate it! Thanks again 🙂
I’ll let them know!
I’ve just opened my game and everyone older than a toddler is locked in place, wobbling and looking like they want to vomit. I cant get them to do anything which given I’m playing the craft event and player favourite is really annoying. I’ve messaged support team but was wondering if this was just me???
This usually happens due to the locking rotation of your device screen, if it is still happening or happens again close the game and unlock/lock the rotation and this should stop them wobbling.
I want to wait to start a new pregnancy event until the maternity pack is available. I currently have an active task that says “Start a pregnancy event.” When I click that, it shows that maternity pack 15 is available in 10 days and 16 is available in 27 days. My question is, will I win the maternity pack if I start the pregnancy event when it shows as available in 9 days or do I have to start it once the event is available?
You need to start it once the event is available.
Hi! I found some good home tutorials and some of the modern looking ones have a flat rooftop, do you know how I could make a home with a flat rooftop?
Some of the roof tiles are flat, just go through the roofing section and you will find many that say flat. If you can’t see them it may be you haven’t reached the level yet that they unlock from.
First thank you for posting info, I’m new to the Sims Freeplay and your blog is super helpful. I have a question about the rustic farmhouse. Other than having a feast with Santa during the quest, what else can you do with the outside table? I tried having a sim use but they show that icon about it being inaccessible.
I’m glad it helps. I thought you could click on the chairs once the quest is over to use them otherwise there isn’t much point in it being there!
Hi. When using the easel for the artist Hobby, how many different paintings are there to collect?
There are 6 paintings to collect.
Do you have any posts on how long cleaning up the different horse areas take? (Like tricks area, vaulting, show jumping, ect) Thanks!
My guide to the stables post should help: https://thegirlwhogames.blog/2015/08/04/the-sims-freeplay-guide-to-the-stables/
I have a question about the ultimate makeover. If I have a SIM that had received the baby bonus when it was born who has later been aged up to a preteen, would that SIM lose the baby bonus if I do the ultimate makeover to change her name or would the baby bonus remain after the makeover? Since it basically takes you back to the CAS menu, I’m worried that would include losing the baby bonus.
I would assume that they would keep their baby bonus but I am not 100% sure.
Hello
Thank you so much for your blog. It is extremely helpful. I was wondering if yiu could answer a question for me so I’ve been working on the movie profession career and am at the point where some of the upgrades need golden clippers. However it never seems to be something I get from jy customers that come in. Does this mean I have to trade in order to get that resource?
Some items are rare so you will eventually get them from customers but it is usually easier and quicker to trade your resources for them.
Hi from the US! The snow problem quest started for me yesterday and I finally managed to earn it, but one thing I noticed when I built it is that i didn’t unlock some things, like the fireplace, the front door, the shower, the sink, the polyhedron lights, and the stairs, and the paintings. Do they usually unlock when you build the chalet? Thanks for the blog, it’s amazing 🙂
I asked the makers and they said the Snow Problem Quest was definitely not meant to be in this update. You don’t unlock all the items in this house when you complete this quest, some items you can only get in the house.
Ok, thanks! 🙂
