Bakery Story- My Bakery

weightlessmagic6 Comments

People have been asking me about my games- what level am I on? What does my shop look like? So this it the first post quickly showing and explaining to you what my bakery story shop looks like.

You can see a more detailed look at my bakery by adding me- my storm8 ID is charlyisgr8 🙂

My Bakery- Updated 17th November 2013
My Bakery- Updated 17th November 2013

Firstly I’m on level 68 and have been playing for over a year now.

There are many different sections to my bakery, I find it gets really boring if it is all the same. I have an illusion of stairs leading up to a pirate themed area which is my favourite part! 😛 I have a cinema area, a tea party area, a romantic area, a forest area and a small coffee shop space.

The entrance to the bakery follows the theme of whatever the latest update has been, so at the moment its thanksgiving.

Thanks for reading!

Yes, you just need to complete all previous quests then this quest will start automatically

I can’t place the magazines in my house, why?
You need to put them on a table or counter, you cannot place them on the floor

My sims won’t read the magazine, help!
Do blue footprints appear? Read the answer below

Why do blue footprints appear when I try to use an item?
Blue footprints appear when your sim cannot access an item you want them to use, you need to either rotate the item or move an item that has been placed in front of it so they can use it

Help, all items are greyed out apart from the magazines! What should I do?
Buy the magazines again, this should allow you to access the rest of buy mode

Do I need a teen for this quest?
Yes, in this quest you complete the teen idol hobby for the first time so a teen is required to complete all the goals

Can I have more than one teen doing this at once?
No, only one teen can be the teen idol and complete this hobby at one time

I have done the task write 3 pieces of music but it will not complete, why?
You need to write 3 different pieces, you cannot just do the task 3 times

Why can’t I buy the microphone yet?
You need to find all 3 pieces of music on the keyboard, then all 3 on the bass guitar, then all 3 on the drum kit, then all 3 on the guitar and then you will be able to buy the microphone

I cannot find one of the pieces, what should I do?
Some take longer to get than others to find so just keep going, you will find them eventually!

What do I get if I complete this quest in the time limit?
The premium instruments

What is the difference between the 3 star instruments and the premium instruments?
Apart from cost (3 star instruments cost LPs) there is no difference

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 teen idol hobby and sim sign 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

How do I build the sim sign?
You need to complete the teen idol hobby several times, each time you complete a row in the hobby you earn a resource to build the sign, this post explains this in more detail

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 next quest Adulthood ages teens to adults!

The Sims Freeplay- Guide to Infant Sims

weightlessmagic82 Comments

Adding/Creating an Infant – Needs – Activities for Infants – Relationships – Ageing an Infant

Adding/Creating an Infant

To unlock babies you need to complete the Two and a Half Sims Quest first. Once the quest is complete you need to place a cot in a house, you don’t need two sims who are married anymore but there needs to be 3 or less sims living there (4 sims in a house is the maximum) When you see the blue add sim circle above the cot you are ready!

Add a Baby will be the first option you see but once you have completed the A Bump-y Ride Quest your sims will be able to get pregnant so when you click on a crib you will see two other options:

  • Add a Baby– costs 3LP (will cost simoleons once you have completed the Life Dreams and Legacies Quest, the simoleon cost varies depending on how many other sims you have in your town) It takes 24 hours for the baby to arrive.
  • Pregnancy– costs 5LP and your sim will develop an expanding baby bump, after 6 days the baby will arrive.
  • Pregnancy Event– costs 2LP and your sim will develop an expanding baby bump while completing daily goals and other sims can complete support tasks, if you complete all the tasks and goals in the 9 day time limit your new baby will receive baby bonuses, if not your baby will still arrive after 9 days.

Read my Guide to Pregnancy for more information on the two pregnancy options

Once the baby arrives you can change their name, choose their gender, eye, skin and hair colour and outfit.

You cannot change the name, gender or skin colour again unless you use the ultimate makeover which costs 12LP

Needs

and how to fulfil them

An adult, teen or senior is needed to help keep your infant happy (except bladder as they will go in their diaper when they need to!)

  • Hunger- adult selects Give Food on infant /infant selects Be Fed on adult
  • Bladder- the infant will go in their diaper when they need to, this will decrease their hygiene need
  • Energy- infant selects Go to Sleep or Hibernate on themselves
  • Hygiene- adult selects Change Diaper on infant /infant selects Have Diaper Changed on adult
  • Social- adult selects Cuddle on infant /infant selects Be Cuddled on adult
  • Fun- adult selects Entertain on infant /infant selects Be Entertained on adult

Activities for Infants

Interactions

Crib Interactions:

The first picture above is the interactions you get when a baby clicks on an adult and the second picture is when an adult clicks on a baby

Cry for Sim/Pick Up Infant– The baby will be picked up by the adult so they can get out of the crib (this option will only appear once you have completed the Nanny Knows Best Quest)

Have Diaper Changed/Change Diaper- This improves the Hygiene need

Be Cuddled/Cuddle– This improves the Social need

Be Entertained/Entertain– This improves the Entertainment need

Be Fed/Give Food– This improves the Hunger need

There is nothing you can do for the Bladder need, you have to wait for the baby to go in their diaper then you will need to change the diaper

Holding Infant Interactions:

You will only get these interactions once you have completed the Nanny Knows Best Quest

The first picture above are the options you get when you click on the sim who is holding the infant, the pictures below are the options you get when the infant is on the floor Pick Up Infant/Cry for Sim allows that sim to pick the infant back up

Ultimate Makeover- not relevant, this allows you to change the name, gender or skin colour of the adult sim

Let Infant Crawl– the sim will put the infant on the ground and then you can then control where they crawl by clicking on the floor when the plumbob is over their head:

Change Diaper– This improves the Hygiene need

Give Food– This improves the Hunger need

Practice Walking– This is the cutest! This improves the Entertainment need

Once the sim is holding the baby you can click on objects around the house to get interactions:

  • Bed- Quick Bouncies and Bounce Marathon
  • Bath- Bathe Infant and Bath Time Fun
  • Sofa- Sit with Infant and Relax with Infant

They can also travel to other sims houses while holding the baby (they will only count as one sim unless they put the baby down)

Having trouble using the highchair? Make sure your sim can stand behind the highchair so they can put the infant in it, if they can’t blue footprints will appear:

Once your sim puts the infant down on the floor (let infant crawl option) the infant can click on objects around the house to get interactions:

Interactions if you are the baby and you click on the baby:

Ultimate Makeover– this allows you to change the name, gender or skin colour of the infant for 12LP

Have Birthday– This will turn the baby into a toddler (you have to bake a birthday cake first and have completed the quest for toddlers)

Go to Sleep– This improves the Energy need

Hibernate– This improves the Energy need again by sleeping for 24 hours

Putting a baby back in their crib
A sim needs to pick the baby up then click on the crib and select put infant in cot. The other option is calm to sleep:

Relationships

Babies can interact with teens, adults and seniors, they cannot interact with toddlers or preteens, their interactions with those life stages is the same:

  • Strangers: Be Cuddled
    Reward for becoming acquaintance: 100XP
  • Acquaintances: Be Cuddled

The Sims Freeplay- House Guide (Part One)

weightlessmagic1 Comment

There are lots of premade houses to buy on The Sims Freeplay, in this guide I will rate each house and give my opinion so you can see if it is worth buying!

The price and time it takes to build a house increases with every house you build
In this part I will be covering the following houses, click the links below to head straight to that part of this post:

s= can be built on a standard plot
p= can be built on a premium plot

Standard or Premium?

Once you complete the ocean view estate quest you can build houses on premium plots which are bigger.

  • Standard= 18×18
  • Premium= 36×18

NOTE: Some of the houses may have been slightly modified

When you start playing the game now this is the first house you will start with (it has changed a lot since most of us started playing the game) It’s a good sized house with some 2 and 3 star items included (this is a one story house but you could add another floor, mine is a 3 story house now)

Floors: One
Car: No

Unfurnished Studio- 1/5

This is the first house you can purchase, it is a lot cheaper than the others and is very basic. It’s fine for when you first start the game and have no money but I have demolished all of mine and built bigger and better homes since. There is no wallpaper or flooring so you are going to have to pay extra for that. (I didn’t think you needed to see a picture of this one as I’m sure this was the first house that everyone built!) (this is a one story house but you could add another floor)

Cost: Simoleons, depends on how many other houses you have built so far
Floors: One
Car: No
Premium Residence: Empty space

↑

Furnished Townhouse- 1/5

furnishedtownhouse

Slightly more expensive, still quite basic but at least it has wallpaper and flooring! Again it’s okay when you first start the game and it’s a nice sized house- apart from the kitchen which is really small! (this is a one story house but you could add another floor)

Cost: Simoleons, depends on how many other houses you have built so far
Floors: One
Car: No
Premium Residence: Empty space

↑

One Bedroom Home- 3/5

This is a really nice sized house, perfect for 2 people, you could even expand it to add another bedroom at the back of the house. I like that the décor is quite traditional and looks like it would be a house for an older couple. There are mostly 2 star items in this house which means you can accomplish tasks quicker than the previous 2 houses. (this is a one story house but you could add another floor)

Cost: Simoleons, depends on how many other houses you have built so far
Floors: One
Car: Yes, Red Sedan (1 Star Car)
Premium Residence: Empty space

↑

Mansion- 4/5

This is a 2 bedroom house with 2 bathrooms and an office- you also get a car with this house! Most of the items in this house are 3 stars so you can complete tasks really quickly! (this is a one story house)

Cost: Simoleons, depends on how many other houses you have built so far
Floors: One
Car: Yes, Luxury (3 Star Car)
Premium Residence: Empty space

↑

Empty Lot- 5/5

Make of it what you will- you have a blank canvas to create an amazing house, this plot is cheaper than the other houses because you are going to spend a lot of money making your own house!  I really like empty plots- I buy a lot of them as I like creating my own houses but for this you do have to save up your money!

Cost: Simoleons, depends on how many other houses you have built so far
Car: No

↑

The Sanctuary- 2.5/5

This house consists of two tiny rooms that aren’t connected, you have a bedroom/living room area and a bathroom. For a house that costs LP I don’t think you get a lot for your money because it is filled with the cheapest 1 star items. It doesn’t even have some essential items! (this is a one story house, it would be difficult to add another floor)

My Edited Sanctuary
My Edited Sanctuary

I edited my sanctuary to make it better, it had 4 separate rooms: a bedroom, a kitchen, a bathroom and a living room- so now the owner has everything they need. With mostly 2 or 3 star items and a really nice garden it feels more like a home!

Cost: Standard 13LP, Premium 24LP
Floors: One
Car: No
Premium Residence: Lots of trees, layout works really well for this house

↑

Dark Secret-1/5

This is probably the worst house you can buy, it’s very white, plain, creepy and looks like some sort of prison! It really isn’t worth spending your LP on this! (this is a one story house, you could add a second floor maybe with a different colour scheme)

Cost: Standard 14LP, Premium 26LP
Floors: One
Car: No
Premium Residence: Trees

↑

Skater’s Dream Pad- 4/5

One of my favourite houses, I really like this house- mainly because there is a skateboard ramp in the garden! I think you get what you pay for with this house, it also costs LP but you can tell that by looking at it- there are a lot of expensive items in this house (3 star items) and if you are on the lower levels you get some items that haven’t been unlocked in buy mode yet! (this is a one story house but you could add another floor)

I have edited this house and turned it into a teenage dream skater pad as two of my teenage sims live here. You can see more pictures of my edited house and a house plan on my house designs page

Cost: Standard 28LP, Premium 32LP
Floors: One
Car: No
Premium Residence: Trees

↑

Medieval Castle- 3.5/5

This is a one bedroom castle styled house- I think it works really well. It is an interesting shape and it does look like an castle, apart from lighting, the kitchen and bathroom appliances it is a traditional house, there is no TV but a chess set for entertainment. I think they should have created a fridge and oven that fits the theme. (this is a one story house but stairs could easily be added)

And your sims that live in this house can wear costumes to match!

Cost: Standard 21LP, Premium 25LP
Floors: One
Car: No
Premium Residence: Trees

↑

Designer Home- 3/5

This is a one story house but you could easily add a second floor, I don’t think it’s the most exciting house available in the game, and okay there are plenty of 3 star items in the house but does that really make it designer?
I will definitely be changing the wallpaper and flooring in the kitchen and living room to make it look more what I would consider designer. I really like the entrance way into the house, although I think the front door should come through into the living room, not the kitchen.

Cost: Standard 32LP, Premium 43LP
Floors: One
Car: No
Premium Residence: Seating area and garden decorations

↑

Player Designed House- 4/5

Another really nice house! This is a 2 bedroom house, the girls bedroom is my favourite room in this house because it is so pretty!! It’s definitely worth the money! There is an entertainment room and a study with 3 star computers. The only thing I don’t like is the placing of the bathroom at the front of the house, this means there is no door at the front- you have to go around the side to the kitchen. This is a one story house.

I have turned this into a 2 story house though because I can’t stop changing things I wanted more garden space and a bigger nursery/play area, so I have moved the nursery and girls bedroom upstairs, the living room is now where the girls bedroom was and I made the room which was the living room smaller and turned that into a dining room with a seating area outside. You can see more pictures of my edited house and a house plan on my house designs page

Cost: Standard 44LP, Premium 49LP
Floors: One
Car: No
Premium Residence: Trees
