The Sims Freeplay- Community Market

AD | Early Access to Beta Provided by EA/ Firemonkeys (Presented by EA Creator Network) may differ from actual version


A big change is coming to The Sims Freeplay in the Family Farmhouse: Spring to Action update available from 28th April 2025, instead of gardening on our home lots we now have a dedicated space to grow called the Community Market, in this post I will explain how it works.

The Community Market can be found near the park:

At the Community Market you will receive requests from customers, you need to grow the items they require to complete their requests and earn simoleons.

Clicking on a customer directly or on the stall where Patty Cakes is will show you all the customers and what each of them requires as well as your reward:

If you already have enough of an item it will be green with a tick, once all items are ticked off you can click fulfill to receive the reward:

There are 10 garden patches here you can use to grow but when you first start only one is unlocked, you will need to level up to unlock the other 9 and then use simoleons to unlock them:

Garden patchLevel unlockCostTime taken

830S75,0002 hours 8 minutes
935S100,0004 hours 16 minutes
1040S125,0008 hours 32 minutes

To plant you need to click on the garden patch and drag the seeds to a garden patch:

Any sim who is not busy will appear at the Community Market to grow those seeds. If all your sims are busy you will not be able to plant.

If you want to see the cost of the seeds or how long it takes to grow click and hold when you click on the seeds and this information will appear:

Below I have included a table with all the seeds you can unlock, the levels they unlock at, cost to plant them and time taken to grow:

Once the time is up the produce will be ready to collect, click on the fully grown items and the produce will go into the storage shed:

There is only so much space available to store items. If Bree is a customer she will reward you with tools needed to increase the storage:

You can also sell excess items from the storage shed:

For those who are interested I have included the sell price for each item before and after this change. The sell price is just how much you get by selling through storage, not from completing customer requests:

Hamburger Plant1068105
24-carat Carrot3300 (cost 2LP to grow)120

If you do not have enough items you can fulfill using LP or skip an order with the bin icon, you will then need to wait for the next order to arrive:

Can I still garden at home? Garden patches are still available but can only be used for growing Simoleon Sprouts, Life Point Lotus and Social Point Flowers.

However you will unlock fully grown versions of each vegetable when you unlock the seeds at the community market to place on house lots to use as decor:

If you have any plants growing or had any stored gardening seeds when you update you will be rewarded the xp or simoleons from these.

The aim of this is to shorten the amount of time it takes to earn simoleons from gardening, I do agree that you can earn a lot more simoleons in a short space of time but it is not very useful for players who cannot be on the game as much and we can no longer earn simoleons planting overnight! When I tested this feature I also found it difficult to earn enough experience points to level up without those gardening XP. Time will tell if this actually is a good way to earn more money. 

Let me know your thoughts on this new feature!

Here you will see you have collected enough items to unlock the Pilot Episode pack. When you unlock each pack, before the items are available in your home store you need to purchase them with the arts and crafts items you make- this goal is coming up!

Restock a crafting station (when the stock runs out you will have to restock before you can make anymore arts and crafts items)- You can restock instantly for 18 uses for 10SP or restock for 2 uses which will take 10 seconds this time

Buy the Pilot Episode pack (click on the event button, scroll down and click purchase- this will cost you 50 candles)

This template can be found under the driveway homes tab and built on a standard or premium residence, the first one is free then they cost simoleons depending on how many houses you have already built. You can add up to 4 cars to this house lot.

The apartments are the same on the standard and premium residence but the premium has a park area behind- well I assume it is meant to be a park even though it has a swimming pool otherwise the name ‘Park View’ doesn’t make sense!

This building contains two apartments, each is over two floors with a coffee shop on the ground floor. The apartments are based on Monica and Joey’s apartments in Friends:

Completing Daily Goals

Coin Plant Patches

Earning Constructor Coins? Previously on these events I used social points on the Mega Spin Plant to win constructor points. I earn social points by completing the cooking hobby and earning LP, I can then turn the LP into SP using the social point plant on a normal garden patch- this was when it cost 5LP- the social point plant now costs 20LP so you may want to try the option below first instead:

Or you can use 450 candles for the Spin Plant (a good way to use up any spare candles) which will also earn you constructor coins but the amounts are less than they are from the Mega Spin Plant

What is the minimum and maximum amount of coins you can earn on the mega spin plant? The minimum is 10 and the maximum is 500

Now on the coin flower patch you can see the chances of getting the different combinations on each spin plant, click on the green i button to see:


Laura Craft? You may have noticed at the front of one of your houses there is a board with a bubble of a person holding arts and crafts items above it, this is Laura Craft, you can buy her for real money to help you complete the event. When you buy her, you select the item you want her to make from the options: 200 candles,  300 pottery, 450 jewelry or 500 glassware (the amounts seem to differ for most of you and I have no idea why that is!) (you will unlock all the options once you have unlocked all the stations) and you will be able to collect them after 2 hours.

Do I think she is worth it? They have improved Laura Craft a lot since the first event (although it would be great if she made constructor coins) she used to be able to collect every 8 hours, they have now changed this to 2 hours so she is more useful now so if you are struggling then you may want to splash out and give her a try but remember you will only get her for this event, you will have to buy her again to use her for a live event in the future. I personally don’t ever buy her, if I don’t manage to earn enough items or coins in the time limit I just wait until the next time the event is available!

If I brought Laura Craft in the last event do I get her for free or do I have to buy her again? You have to buy her again for this event.

Check out my Guide to Completing Live Events (including tips!) HERE!


Once the event is over it will convert your unused resources into simoleons, the conversion rate is half the amount of resources, for example, if you have 10,000 candles left over you will earn 5,000 simoleons, if you only have 1 of a resource left over you will only earn 1 simoleon. When a new live event becomes available you start from 0 resources


If I don’t complete this event this time will I have to start from the beginning when it returns? No, you will start from where you got to this time!

THE SIMS FREEPLAY

The Sims Freeplay- A Claus for Reunion Christmas 2024 Quest

AD | Early Access to Beta Provided by EA/ Firemonkeys (Presented by EA Creator Network) may differ from actual version


Starts 7th December 2024


The Sims Freeplay Christmas Quest this year is a rerun of The Hearth of Stone 2019 Christmas Quest just with different prizes. This quest will begin on the 7th December for 13 days. 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 gorgeous Country Cottage house template.

Watch my Christmas Quest walkthrough video here

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.

TIP: there are lots of tasks that need to be done more than once, this year you can use LP to skip all these tasks or you can still use the maximum sims you can to complete the task but remember if you just use one sim you will run out of time

Thirteenth Set: Country Cottage

You will be able to build the Country Cottage on a standard or premium residence, the first one is free, after that the cost in simoleons depends on how many houses you have already built

I really love this template, the team always make amazing Christmas house templates and this is definitely another one! My favourite part is probably the location with the hills disappearing into the distance, it really makes you feel like you are in the countryside.

The premium version has another little cottage on the grounds, I am not sure we really need this extra house

You also unlock:

Decorations: Rustic Woodland Xmas Tree (S22,400) and White Wisteria Tree (S13,200)

Outdoor Furniture: Tan Cobblestone Gazebo (S51,900)

Chimneys and Fireplaces: Tan Cobblestone Chimney (S18,300)
