The Sims Freeplay- Restarting a Hobby Collection

August 23, 2014September 1, 2020 weightlessmagic33 Comments

This is the same for any hobby, firstly you need to complete the collection as you will not be able to start the collection again if you don’t have all the pieces yet.

Once you have found them all it will tell you, then you will need to go back to the blue collection screen (where you can find all the hobby collections)

You do this by clicking on the sim info panel, find the hobby tab (second one) and click on the hobby picture (on a sim who is doing this hobby)

Once opened you will see the start collection again button at the top, click that and the collection will be reset so you can find all the pieces again.

When you reset the hobby it doesn’t reset your level, so if you were on level 6 you will still be on level 6.

The Sims Freeplay- Using the Restaurant

August 17, 2014August 27, 2020 weightlessmagic137 Comments

If you have just built your restaurant and have no idea how to serve food to customers then this is the post for you! If you are struggling to build your restaurant still then read this post for guidance

So you need three people:

1. Someone to cook something

2. Someone to wait tables- 10 hours (click on the booth infront of the kitchen)

3. Someone to have meal- 1 hour (click on table)

The pictures below show each step:

GLITCH: currently only one sim can sit at a 4 seat table at a time

When a meal is made and someone is sitting at the table the waiter will serve the food and they will eat the meal for 10 minutes

Cleaning the dishes

To tidy up you need to click on the sink in the kitchen and select keep cleaning dishes- 10 hours, this sim will then collect and wash up all dishes. Once all dishes have been cleared away they will stop the action. What else can you do at the restaurant?

You can order a drink from the rooftop bar, to do this you need a sim to tend the bar for 20 minutes and then a sim can order a cocktail, this will cost you 2500. Cocktails will inspire your sim (fulfil their needs) By the piano downstairs and upstairs near the sofa you can close dance for 10 minutes with another sim and the piano can be played at the same time!

You can also build a romantic relationship up fast by clicking on the stools, one sim selects the option scope room and the other sim selects the other stool to hit on.

The Sims Freeplay- Building the Restaurant

August 16, 2014January 15, 2019 weightlessmagic86 Comments

Do you want a beautiful 5 star restaurant? Well it’s time to start repairing (once you have completed The Sous Judgemental Quest)

This post is to show what you need to clean up and how long it takes to unlock each section (if you use only one sim- I wouldn’t recommend that if you want it fixed up soon) you can have up to 10 sims fix up your restaurant at once which makes it a lot quicker to make it usable.

A blue exclamation mark appears sometimes to show you what needs to be removed:

But it doesn’t appear on all items, if you think something looks broken and needs fixing click on it and see.

Some items also can’t be fixed until another item has been removed, so in the downstairs bathroom area you can’t get to the cobweb in the corner until the leaky roof and trash have been sorted.

Once everything in that area has been removed you will be able to unlock the next area, the order and prices can be seen in this post.

I have recently been shocked to learn that someone has been copying my sims freeplay posts onto their website as if they were their own.

I would just like to inform everyone that copying my posts and using them as your own is stealing and illegal, just because its on the internet doesn’t make it free to use as your own and it is breaking copyrighting laws.

The Sims Freeplay- Ultimate Makeover

August 14, 2014September 9, 2020 weightlessmagic40 Comments

In this post I will explain how the ultimate makeover on The Sims Freeplay works and whether I think it is worth using. When you click on your sim who is not doing anything you will see the purple ultimate makeover option:

The ultimate makeover allows you to change the DNA of your sim, the DNA is the name, gender and skin tone so it basically takes you back into the create a sim menu.

How much does it cost? It will cost you 12LP

Don’t have 12LP for the makeover? Check out my post here on making LP quickly

Once you select the option and click you are sure you want to spend 12LP on this it will take you back to the create a sim menu:

Can you cancel it once you enter the ultimate makeover? Yes, click the back button at the top and it will refund you your 12LP:

This might be quite useful if you accidentally gave your sim the wrong name to begin with but sims age so quickly once the Life Dreams and Legacies Quest is complete you could just recreate the sim again once they pass away but with the correct details this time and save yourself those 12LP!

This video shows how the ultimate makeover works:
