Once you complete the collection for the first time you will be able to place diving boards in your pools at home to complete the hobby there.

Every time you complete one of the options above your diving hobby skill level up percentage will increase, once you reach 100% you will level up, there are 6 levels.

You won’t find a new collectible each time, you will get repeats, if this happens just keep going, you will find them eventually! If it is still taking too long you can use the lucky spin on the row where you cannot find the item, this will cost LPs, when you click on the LP button it will clear the row and give you a random collectible on that row so you aren’t guaranteed a new item (you will get back any other collectibles you already had in that row) Need to earn some LPs to use the lucky spin?

 

The completed diving collection is shown below, once you complete the collection you need to click ‘start a new collection/dive again’ at the top of the hobby collection screen, this clears the board so you can complete the collection again to earn more rewards (you will only get the option to restart the hobby collection when you have completed the collection):

You will earn XPs when you complete a row in the hobby but to complete the collection you need to find all 12 of the collectibles

The rewards for completing this collection are diving boards, lifeguard chair and 3LP:

  • The first time you complete the collection you unlock diving boards for home pools, so you can complete the hobby at home instead of at the swim center (these can be found in the pool items section of the home store):

  • The second time unlocks a lifeguard chair for you to use around the pools in your gardens (it costs S4,000 and can be found in the pool items section of the home store)

  • From the third time onwards each time you complete the collection you will earn 3LP

The Sims Freeplay- Hobbies: Ghost Hunting

GHOST HUNTERS QUEST – HAUNTED ITEMS – ADULT SIMS ONLY – PRIZES: GHOST TANK AND 5LP


 Adult sims will be able to complete this hobby once you have completed the Ghost Hunters Quest. Once you have, you will need to buy haunted objects from the home store and place them in a sims house.

NOTE: Once you place the ghost hunting items in your house the lights will flash every so often which can be an issue for some players so please bare that in mind.

 

What are haunted items?
These are items in the home store which have a red ghost symbol on them:

img_7640

You can buy as many as you want so you can have as many adult sims as you want completing this hobby at once

Once placed tap on the item and select the option ‘Search for Ghosts’  the time varies slightly depending on the star rating the item you brought has:

  • 1 Star haunted objects- 3 mins 30 seconds
  • 2 star haunted objects- 3 minutes 9 seconds
  • 3 star haunted objects- 2 minutes 48 seconds

After the time has passed come back and click the exclamation mark above your sims head, a ghost will then appear, you need to then tap the ghost three times before it escapes to find one of the ghost collectibles. If the ghost escapes you will not get a ghost collectible.

Haunted items need recharging after you use them so you have to wait before using them to search again (you can get around this by getting as many haunted items as possible in your house or building the Haunted House if you completed the Ghost Hunter Quest in the time limit!)

Time for recharging varies depending on the star rating the haunted object has:

  • 3 star- 10 minutes
  • 2 star- 20 minutes
  • 1 star- 30 minutes

Every time you search for ghosts your ghost hunting hobby skill level up percentage will increase, once you reach 100% you will level up, there are 8 levels. You need to reach level 8 to be able to unlock all of the ghost collectibles, once unlocked you will be able to find them.

The table below shows the level up percentage:

This may change in future updates

 LEVEL  Search for Ghosts
1-2 50%
2-3 20%
3-4 10%
4-5 6%
5-6 2%

7-8 2%
