NEW QUEST: ‘Tis The Quest- 12 day Christmas quest starts 12th December, complete a set of goals each day to unlock prizes from Wumples!
Early Access to Beta Provided by EA/ Firemonkeys (Presented by EA Creator Network) may differ from actual version
NO LONGER AVAILABLE
Santa is having a hard time getting his daughter Milly to take an interest in the family business, can you help save Christmas future? There are 13 sets of goals to complete in the 13 day time limit so there is a set of goals to complete each day from the 12th December, if you complete the quest in the time limit you win the Santa’s Cabin house template
You have to wait between completing each set so you complete one set per day, after completing a set you have to wait for a certain amount of time before being able to continue with the quest (the time varies depending on how long you take) unless you are behind then you will move straight onto the next set once you have completed the previous. You can use social points to skip the daybreak but it is very expensive:
Christmas Quest goals have the same symbol so if you are stuck look for the following symbol on objects:
TIP: there are lots of tasks that need to be done more than once, you can use LP to skip all these tasks or you can still use the maximum sims you can to complete the task but remember if you just use one sim you will run out of time (the maximum amount of sims you can use will vary depending on the level you are on in the game)
NOTE: these are the times from the early access version, I will update the post as I complete the quest if anything has changed

If you completed this quest in the time limit you will be able to build Santa’s Cabin in your Simtown, keep reading for information and pictures of all the prizes you unlock in this quest
You cannot complete this quest or earn the prizes once the quest is over
Stairs- Walnut Cabin Bend Stairs (23SP)
Living Room and Fireplaces- Black Stone Cabin Fireplace (16SP)
Chimneys and Fireplaces- Black Stone Cabin Chimney (15SP)
Railings- Mahogany Cabin Railings (S1,200)
You will find Santa’s Cabin under the driveway homes tab on a standard or premium residence, the first one is free, after that the cost in simoleons depends on how many houses you have already built. You can add up to 4 cars to this house lot.
The other three car parking spaces need to be unlocked by purchasing with simoleons:
Additional Space One: S250,000
Additional Space Two: S750,000
Additional Space Three: S1,500,000
Once you purchase an additional space you will be able to add another car but you need to have more than one adult/senior sim living in this house to add more than one car otherwise it will just switch their car to the new one you have just brought. For example if you wanted 3 cars in this house you need 3 adult or senior sims living in this house.
The house is the same on both the standard and the premium residence, the only thing that differs is the garden on the premium contains a barn for hosting Christmas parties!
I prefer this house on the standard residence, I really like the house and the surrounding area although I don’t think the texture on the roof is right- it just looks white rather than like snow but I don’t think it needs the barn in the garden on the premium residence, it doesn’t add anything special in my opinion!
You also unlock:
Decorations- Walnut Log Bean Right (14LP) Left (14LP)
Exterior Walls- Walnut Cabin Board (S700)
Roofing- Snow Covered A-Frame (S800)
Outdoor Decorations- Oak Seated Outdoor Fire (7SP)
