Stickers are a new feature in The Sims Mobile as of the February 2018 update, this post explains all about them
How do I get stickers?
When you log in each day you will receive new stickers to give away, it will also tell you how many stickers your sims received yesterday:
How do I use stickers?
When you click on a sim with a blue plumbob above their head (these are other players sims), stickers will appear at the bottom of the screen where their name is. There will be 3 different types of stickers, click on the one you want to give that sim to spend it:
Sims with the blue plumbobs are other players sims
How many stickers can I give a sim?
You can only give them one a day, it will appear next to their name which sticker you gave them:
Will they know it was me who sent it?
No, they won’t know who sent them the stickers (I still feel rude giving people scary stickers though!)
I’ve run out of stickers what do I do?
Once you use all your stickers in a day you will need to come back tomorrow to receive more
Why should I use the stickers?
One of your daily tasks on your to do list is to give stickers, completing this will earn you 2 fashion gems which you can spend at Izzy’s Fashion Shop on unique outfits!
At the end of the week you will earn Fashion Gems based on how many stickers you received:
You can also keep track during the week of how many stickers you have received and how many days are left in this week’s contest:
Social tasks are the tasks you have to complete in a neighbours town to earn social points, this post is a list of the tasks and how to complete them.
This is most of the social tasks but there are probably some I have missed, I will keep updating this post but if you have any that I haven’t listed please comment with the time it takes and I will add it to this list.

This is most of the social tasks but there are probably some I have missed, I will keep updating this post but if you have any that I haven’t listed please comment with the time it takes and I will add it to this list.
My neighbours don’t have an item I need, what do I do?You could find a neighbour to add or skip the goal with LP.
How do I skip a social task with LP? If you cannot complete a task and you want to skip it, click on the task in your active tasks tab and then click on the orange button next to the task, it will ask if you want to skip the task. It will cost 10LP to skip a task:
I don’t want to add neighbours! Is there another way to earn social points? Yes, you can earn SP by completing Live Events too but these events aren’t always available, you can also use the social point flower but this will cost you 20LP. Completing social tasks means you can earn more SP although sometimes the rewards are only XP
My neighbour added something to their town for me to complete a social task but I can’t find it! Why? To see the latest version of your neighbours town they will need to Save to the Cloud and then you will be able to find the item and complete the task
I don’t have any neighbours! Can I complete tasks in Another Simtown, the default neighbourhood? Yes you can but it is really lacking in a lot of items so you won’t be able to complete every social task there, this post shows you what you can find in Another Simtown
The latest update for the sims mobile is a big one! In this post I will show you what is new and what has changed, it is important to remember that as this game hasn’t been released worldwide yet there are still some big changes being made to the gameplay so my older sims mobile videos may play very differently to the version everyone eventually gets their hands on!
-Izzy Fabulous and his Fashion Shop have arrived in Parkside, visit the shop and Izzy will create some custom fashions with cool effects just for you. It costs 20 Fashion Gems to create a new design:
When you sim wears this fashion piece they will earn a bonus from the trait shown on the board, so the flirty long sleeve of fortune has the lucky trait
You earn Fashion Gems by completing the give stickers goal on the to do list:
You only seem to earn 2 a day though so it could take a while for you to be able to create new outfits!
-Sims can now complete events on their own and earn the maximum rewards instead of earning less which is great news if you run out of energy at the end of the day and cannot complete one!
-You can now see other players sims in your game and interact with them (look out for the blue plumbob sims!) You can also send these players stickers- the sticker tab is next to that sims name when you click on them:
You can also receive stickers, I personally don’t really see much point for the stickers other than to be able to complete the daily task to give stickers and earn the fashion gems
-You can now see other players houses too!
-There are now loads more stories so instead of just social event stories you can now complete hobby and career stories, you can find these in the sim info button (keep reading for more information):
-Loads of new quests are now available, and the quest button location has changed, you can now find it just above the to do list (I am not sure yet if you still get the wedding quest and baby quests as well but when I find out I will update this post):
-The sim info button is now an image of a sim and the plumbob symbol rather than 3 dots and when you click on it it opens to your sims stories, relationships and traits and underneath the image of your sim you can click to change their appearance (I have no idea where the career tab is now to change your sims career, I am hoping you still can- again I will update this when I find out):
-Most of the workplaces have had a makeover- I love how much brighter they are now!
Once you complete the Love and Treasure Quest you can build a house on the private island and use the exterior balcony stairs we unlock, this post walks you through how to add the exterior balcony stairs and also how to change the stairs paving to be the same as the paving on your balcony
1.You firstly need a balcony, if you haven’t already built one this post may help
2.Once you have built a balcony you will be able to add the exterior balcony stairs, you can find them in the exterior stairs tab, the villa stairs are currently the only ones available:
3.When you click on this tab a pop up will appear saying that exterior stairs can only be used to connect to balconies:
4.To place the exterior stairs you need to be on the ground floor and place them on the edge of the balcony, overhanging by one square width, if you try and place them on the same level the balcony is on it won’t let you:
5.Click the green tick to place the stairs
If you change the balcony paving after placing the exterior stairs you may notice that the paving part on the stairs hasn’t changed with the rest of the balcony, these simple steps fix this:
1.Once you have changed the balcony paving click on the stairs and move them one square away from the balcony, you will notice that the paving on the top of the stairs will change to the paving on your balcony
2.The stairs can then be put back into place (see the steps above if you are having trouble placing them)
Check out my video here:
I’m having trouble adding stairs to my balcony, what is the problem? If the balcony is flush with the room below you won’t be able to add stairs unless you extend the balcony so it is sticking out. The exterior stairs can then be connected to the balcony:
LEVEL UNLOCKS: 7 UNLOCKS: private island (house lot) and villa items TIME LIMIT: 8 days PRIZE: private island villa
To begin this discovery quest you need to build the private island, you can find the island next to the bridge to the mysterious island. Completing this quest unlocks the private island which is a new house lot. If you complete this quest in the time limit you will unlock the private island villa lot to build on the island. You can still complete this quest once the time limit is up to unlock the island and build a house on it you just won’t unlock the villa
You cannot complete this quest at the same time as any other discovery quest
The cost of the private island varies depending on how many houses you have already built
Take a hard look in mirror at the villa- 9 hours 30 minutes
Listen to LJs announcement- 4 hours 10 minutes (click on x)
Approach Prim- 15 hours
Give rose cupcake to the Wizard- 1 hour
Give cupcake to Bryan- 4 hours 10 minutes
Listen to LJs announcement- 15 hours (click on x)
Listen to LJs offer- 21 hours 40 minutes (click on x)
Leave the island
QUEST IS COMPLETE!
You can now build a house lot on the island, if you complete in the time limit you can build the island villa, if not you can build the empty private island and build your own villa using the new villa items you unlock:
Completing this quest unlocks Exterior Balcony Stairs, read this post if you are unsure how to add them
Prize: Island Villa
Where can I find it? Click on the private island and click on the Island Villa to build it
Is it worth it? The island villa has a platform that you cannot build yourself but if you don’t manage to complete in the time don’t worry as you can still build a house on the private island using the private island empty lot
TIP: if you want to build your own but finished in the time limit, build the island villa anyway and store all the furniture as most of the villa items cost SPs and LPs
Cost? The first one is free, you can only build one house on the private island!
How do I start this discovery quest? Build the private island to begin this quest
Does the time limit start when I click to build or once the building has complete?
Once it has finished building the quest and time limit will begin
Can I do discovery quests at the same time as a main quest?
Yes you can
Why can’t I do this discovery quest yet?
You cannot do more than one discovery quest at the same time, if you are currently on another one (the list can be found here) you will not be able to do this one until that one is completed
Do I have to do this quest?
If you don’t start building the private island you don’t have to do this quest at all but if you have already started building or started this quest you need to complete it before you can move on to the next quest
I haven’t started this quest yet, will it still be available when I want to do it?
Yes it will be, you can choose to start it whenever you like
What do I get if I complete this quest in the time limit?
The private island villa
What happens if I don’t complete in the time limit, can I still finish this quest?
Yes you have to finish it to unlock the private island before you can move onto the next quest
I didn’t complete in the time limit, can I restart the quest?
No, you cannot redo quests
Can I still get the prize if I don’t complete in the time limit?
No, the only way to get the limited time prizes is by completing the quest in the time limit
I don’t like this quest! Can I just skip it?
No, you have to complete this quest before you can move onto the next one now that you have started it, if you don’t start building the private island you don’t have to do this quest but once it is built the quest will begin
Some times are slightly different on my game, why is this?
Times may vary depending on the star rating of the item you are using as the higher star rating an item has the quicker you will complete a goal
Some times are really off/ different goals show for me, why is this? This will be because the quest has been updated recently, I try my best to keep these posts up to date but it is difficult as I cannot redo every quest each time the game is updated. If you notice any changes please let me know so I can update the post
Frequently Asked Questions about the Private Island Villa:
What can I build on the Private Island?You can only build the empty private island lot or private island villa
I want to move the platform underneath the house or extend it!The platform cannot be deleted, extended or put in the inventory, you also cannot move it. To be able to edit something similar build the empty private island and add a balcony instead- this can be edited as shown in my video here
