AD | Early Access to Beta Provided by EA/ Firemonkeys (Presented by EA Creator Network) may differ from actual version
In this post I am going to show you all the upgrades available for the stores in The Sims Freeplay which were added in the Livin’ Large Town Expansion in March 2026.
Livin’ Large Town Expansion includes:
10 more levels (66-75)
7 new sims (unlocked at levels 17, 40, 66, 68,70, 72 and 75)
Store upgrades (which we will discuss in this post)
Once you are level 15 or above you will notice when you open the game star ratings on all buildings with the ability to upgrade 10 of the stores from star rating 1 to 3:
You will firstly complete a tutorial with Nancy Landgraab by clicking on the Pet Store.
You will now get the options to upgrade or enter store (enter store allows you to shop like normal)
Clicking upgrade brings up a screen with 10 upgrades. Once you have completed 5 upgrades you will reach 2 stars and once you have completed all 10 upgrades you will reach 3 stars for that store.
To upgrade you need upgrade tools (Blueprints, Fuses and Hard Hats) which you get by completing Landgraab Exec requests at the Community Market
Once you have completed a request you need to complete 4 normal community market requests before you will get another from the Landgraab Exec.
As well as the resources upgrades will cost simoleons. There is also a time stated, this is how long the upgrade will take to complete
You need to complete 1 row at a time so upgrades in row 1 must be completed before the second row unlocks but they can be completed in any order in that row. For example, the image below shows that we can complete 3 upgrades in this row and they can be completed in any order but we won’t be able to move on to the next row until these 3 upgrades are all complete:
Upgrades can be previewed before so you can check all upgrades before deciding where you want to focus your resources first BUT you need to complete 3 stores to 2 star before you can complete the 6th upgrade, 6 stores to 2 star before you can complete the 7th upgrade and 8 stores to 2 star before you can complete the final upgrade for any store.
You also need to reach 2 star to complete a level up goal for each of the last 10 levels (66-75)

Constructor Coins

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.
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 craft challenge 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 Livin’ Large Expansion brings major changes to The Sims Freeplay in this update, including:
10 new levels (66-75)
7 new sims (unlocked at levels 17, 40, 66, 68,70, 72 and 75)
Store upgrades (from level 15)
Store upgrades
You will notice when you open the game star ratings on all buildings with the ability to upgrade 10 of the stores from star rating 1 to 3:
The stores you can upgrade are:
Pet Store
Children’s Store
Promotions ‘r’ Us
Baby ‘n’ Bumps
Pet Salon
Salon
Costume and Swim Store
Car Dealer
Sorcerous Supplies
Supermarket
You will firstly complete a tutorial with Nancy Landgraab by clicking on the Pet Store.
You will now get the options to upgrade or enter store (enter store allows you to shop like normal)
Clicking upgrade brings up a screen with 10 upgrades. Once you have completed 5 upgrades you will reach 2 stars and once you have completed all 10 upgrades you will reach 3 stars for that store.
To upgrade you need upgrade tools (Blueprints, Fuses and Hard Hats) which you get by completing Landgraab Exec requests at the Community Market
Once you have completed a request you need to complete 4 normal community market requests before you will get another from the Landgraab Exec.
As well as the resources upgrades will cost simoleons. There is also a time stated, this is how long the upgrade will take to complete
You need to complete 1 row at a time so upgrades in row 1 must be completed before the second row unlocks but they can be completed in any order in that row. For example, the image below shows that we can complete 3 upgrades in this row and they can be completed in any order but we won’t be able to move on to the next row until these 3 upgrades are all complete:
Upgrades can be previewed before so you can check all upgrades before deciding where you want to focus your resources first BUT you need to complete 8 stores to 2 star before you can complete the final upgrade for any store.
You also need to reach 2 star to complete a level up goal for each of the last 10 levels (65-75)
There are some great upgrades available, for example, you can unlock Catty Cakes with a Pet Store upgrade and they will live at the Community Market and find resources you need to complete customer requests, you will also be able to have up to 16 pets living in one house if you complete all Pet Store and Pet Salon upgrades and some Sorcerous Supplies store updates include spells that clean up pee, vomit and dirty dishes instantly! Other upgrades include new items unlocked, new interactions between sims and making it easy to find certain hobby items.

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.
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 craft challenge 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!
