The Sims Freeplay- The Beach

July 24, 2015January 15, 2019 weightlessmagic19 Comments

This is a guide to the beach, once you complete the Life Dreams and Legacies Quest you will have the ability to unlock the beach.

Building the beach requires orbs, 2 bronze and 2 silver sporty orbs.

This post explains how you earn orbs

Once you unlock the beach you unlock the Seashell Collecting hobby that toddlers and preteens can partake in.

There are two other hobbies at the beach, Surfing and Snorkelling, these both require orbs to build the kiosks to start these hobbies:

There is also a swimming kiosk which also requires orbs to build, it is basically a swimming pool in the sea, so you use it the same as you would at the swim center or a pool at home, it also has a diving board.

Other things at the beach include:

Sandcastles
BBQs
Lifeguard chairs

Beach towels

Poolside recliners

Picnic Table
Park Benches
Stereo

Toilets

Shower
A pier
Fishing rod (at end of pier to do the Fishing hobby)

I think that is about everything, I really like the beach, I definitely think its worth the amount of time it takes to earn all the orbs! If you want detailed information on any of the hobbies please click on the links above!

Thanks for reading!

VACATIONERS GUIDE TO THE OUTDOORS QUEST – CAMPFIRE – TEEN, ADULT AND SENIOR SIMS – PRIZES: TENTS, DEER MEADOW, CANOE AND 3LP

TIME LIMITED HOBBY – TIME: 7 DAYS – TIME LIMITED PRIZE: CAMPFIRE

Once you complete the Survivalist hobby, open the bridge and clear the area (check out my guide to the campgrounds post for more information) the 7 day time limit will then start straight away, your teen, adult or senior sim needs to complete this hobby in the time limit to unlock the campfire:

When you first begin this hobby and click on the storyteller chair you will only get one option:

Tell a comedy story- 3 hours 30 minutes

You will need to find 3 different comedy stories to unlock the romance story option, once you find all 3 romance stories you unlock the action stories to find those 3, once you have those 3 you unlock the last option which is scary stories, when you find those 3 different stories you will complete the collection:

Tell a comedy story- 3 hours 30 minutes
Tell a romance story- 4 hours 30 minutes
Tell an action story- 5 hours 30 minutes
Tell a scary story- 6 hours 30 minutes

NOTE: once you complete the collection for the first time you can find the stories in any order but you will still need to do each option to find the different stories to complete each row

TIP: only one sim can complete this hobby at a time, you can send another sim to a neighbours town to complete this hobby (if they have unlocked the storyteller chair!)

OPTION	FIND	TO UNLOCK:
COMEDY STORY	Slapstick Parody Stand Up Routine	Boy Meets Girl, Happily Ever After and Romantic Tragedy USING THE TELL A ROMANCE STORY OPTION
ROMANCE STORY	Boy Meets Girl Happily Ever After Romantic Tragedy	Kung Fu, Sci-Fi and Superhero USING THE TELL AN ACTION STORY OPTION
ACTION STORY	Kung Fu Sci-Fi Superhero	Zombie Story, Monster Story and Ghost Story USING THE TELL A SCARY STORY OPTION
SCARY STORY	Zombie Story Monster Story Ghost Story	*You can now complete the collection!*

After the time has passed come back and click the exclamation mark above your sims head to find one of the story collectibles in that row. You still level up in this hobby but the hobby level up percentage isn’t important as the story collectibles don’t unlock depending on your level, when you finish a row of story collectibles you will unlock the ability to find the next genre of stories in the next row.

The table below shows you the level up reward that your sims will receive when they level up in this hobby:

LEVEL	TITLE	1st TIME LEVEL UP REWARD
1	Spinner of Yawns	–
2	B Movie Narrator	250XP
3	Worthy Entertainer	500XP
4	Captivating Teller	S750
5	Master Tearjerker	10,000 Town Value
6	Memorable Performer	1LP

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 storyteller collection is shown below, once you complete the collection you need to click ‘start a new collection’ 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):

The first time you complete a row you will unlock a new genre of stories to tell, further times 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

If you complete this hobby in the time limit you will unlock the campfire which can be found in the outdoor decorations section and costs S20,000. You can turn it on/off, roast marshmallows for 5 minutes or warm up for 10 minutes

The rewards for completing this collection are tents, deer meadow, canoe and 3LP:

The first time you complete the collection you unlock the tents, deer meadow and canoe at the campgrounds (even if you do not manage to complete the hobby in the time limit)

Tents

The Sims Freeplay- Guide to the Campgrounds

July 3, 2015January 15, 2019 weightlessmagic75 Comments

Once you have completed the Vacationers Guide to the Outdoors Quest you can then open up the picnic area:

Firstly the area needs cleaning:

Gas Bottle- 10 hours 30 minutes x2 = 21 hours
Trash- 8 hours 30 minutes x2 = 17 hours
Garbage Can- 6 hours 30 minutes
Trash- 4 hours 30 minutes x3 = 13 hours 30 minutes
Jerry Can- 4 hours 30 minutes x3 = 13 hours 30 minutes
Broken Lantern- 3 hours 30 minutes
Trash- 1 hour 30 minutes x3 = 4 hours 30 minutes
Trash- 45 minutes x6 = 4 hours 30 minutes
Trash- 15 minutes x2= 30 minutes

Total: 3 days 12 hours 30 minutes

NOTE: use as many sims as possible (max 10) to clean up quicker!

Once you have cleaned the area you can start on the Survivalist Hobby

This is a time limited hobby, you have 7 days to complete the hobby for the first time to unlock picnic baskets
Once you have completed the hobby you unlock the suspension bridge, bird feeders and lookout post
Teens, Adults and Seniors can do this hobby but only one sim can complete it at once

TIP: you can send another sim to a neighbours to complete quicker with two sims!

Click on the compass/ survival gear in the middle of the picnic area:
The only option is explore for 2 hours 30 minutes

TIP: when using LPs you can wait for half an hour to pass then you will only need to use 1LP to speed it up instead of 2!

Once you complete the survivalist hobby you unlock the suspension bridge, bird feeders and deer spring falls lookout (use the lookout to complete the goal to test the depths)

Build the suspension bridge to access the rest of the campground and storyteller hobby.

Once you have access that area it needs cleaning:

Garbage Can- 6 hours 30 minutes x2 =13 hours
Trash- 8 hours 30 minutes x5 =42 hours 30 minutes
Trash- 15 minutes
Trash- 45 minutes x3 =2 hours 15 minutes
Trash- 4 hours 30 minutes x5 =22 hours 30 minutes
Jerry Can- 4 hours 30 minutes x2 =9 hours
Gas Bottle- 10 hours 30 minutes x5 =52 hours 30 minutes
Broken Lantern- 3 hours 30 minutes x3 =10 hours 30 minutes
Oil Drum- 12 hours 30 minutes x3 =37 hours 30 minutes
Trash- 1 hour 30 minutes

NOTE: use as many sims as possible (max 10) to clean up quicker!

Once that area is clear you can start on the Storyteller Hobby

Again this is a time limited hobby, you have 7 days to complete the hobby for the first time to unlock the campfire
Once you have completed the hobby you unlock the tents, canoe and deer meadow
Teens, Adults and Seniors can do this hobby but only one sim can complete it at once

TIP: you can send another sim to a neighbours town to complete quicker with two sims!

Click on the storyteller chair next to the campfire:

There are 4 options, you need to complete one row at a time before you unlock the next option when you complete this quest for the first time

TIP: I wouldn’t use the lucky spin on this hobby, it will be cheaper to just speed up the action with LPs!

Once you complete the storyteller hobby you unlock tents, deer meadow and the canoe

At the entrance to the campgrounds there is an information board where you can:

Examine Map- 5 minutes
Read History- 1 hour 30 minutes
Plan Trip- 2 hours 30 minutes
