THIS QUEST IS NOW OVER

Your sims are just waiting to see what disaster will occur this Christmas, join them for this 13 day quest from the 12th December! 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, if you complete the quest in the time limit you win the spectacular lakehouse template! Make sure you update your game to the 2019 lake house Christmas update to be able to start this quest

 

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.
