How do I visit neighbours? Check out this post!

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 

Want to create the best house ever for your neighbours? Check out this post to found out what to include!

Prize: Island Villa

Cost? The first one is free, you can only build one house on the private island!

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?

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

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
  • Can I put different stairs on the platform? The stairs that come with the villa are the only ones that are compatible with the platform, they can be moved, placed in your inventory but cannot be sold.
  • I cannot find the villa stairs after storing them, where are they? You can find them in the exterior stairs tab, check out my adding exterior stairs post if you are unsure how to place them
  • Can my sims walk on the platform? To walk on the platform there must be a balcony connected to the stairs. If you have not completed the DIY Homes: Lovey-Dovey Balconies Quest you will not be able to edit or delete the existing balcony.
  • Can I edit the platform? No the platform cannot be edited.
  • Can I build a basement on the island? Yes you can!

  • Can I build a patio? Yes you can!
  • Can I move any of the items on the island such as the shower or towels? No you cannot as these are outside of the grid.
  • Does the private island have access to a car? No- I think we should be able to have a boat! That would be so cool!

What is the difference between The Sims Freeplay and The Sims Mobile?

weightlessmagic13 Comments

I have been asked a lot about how different The Sims Mobile will be from The Sims Freeplay, I think some people are worried that Mobile is replacing Freeplay and that isn’t the case! The two games are very different as explained below:

  • The Sims Freeplay is created by EA and Firemonkeys whereas The Sims Mobile is created by EA and Maxis
  • In the Sims Freeplay you can create loads of houses and families, building up your town but on the Sims Mobile you have one house and up to 4 playable sims:

  • Although the main currency simoleons is the same the premium currency is different, in the Sims Freeplay you have lifestyle points and social points and on the Sims Mobile you have simcash:

  • On the Sims Mobile your sims have to retire to create legacies for future sims but they do not die, on the Sims Freeplay your sims will pass on once you complete the Life Dreams and Legacies Quest, but even then you can stop them from dying.
  • Both games are real time but a lot of tasks in the Sims Freeplay take a lot longer as most actions in the Sims Mobile take 5 seconds making it a fast paced game:

  • Both games are free to play but have in app purchases so you can buy more money or new items with real money.
  • In the Sims Mobile the only need your sims have is energy, each action uses at least one energy, once you run out of energy you need to either wait for their bar to refill, have your sim sleep or use another item in the house or use a cupcake (if you have any) before you can do anything else. In the Sims Freeplay your sims have lots of needs that you fulfil using a related item, for example when your sims are hungry you can use the fridge to increase this need, if you don’t fulfil their needs they become unhappy but you can still complete actions using them:

  • The create a sim on the Sims Freeplay isn’t as in-depth as the Sims Mobile, on the Sims Mobile you can move the sliders to make every feature completely unique. The sims on the Sims Mobile look more like the Sims 4 which you would expect, I really love how they look on both games but I personally think they look more realistic on the Sims Freeplay:

  • On the Sims Mobile they focus on legacies, so what your sim achieves in their life and the perks they unlock affects their relatives in the future when they have retired whereas the Sims Freeplay doesn’t really have legacies, apart from earning orbs and you can play without doing that but it is a major part of the Sims Mobile.
  • When you send your sims to work on the Sims Freeplay they will go on their own and you cannot see them during the day at most workplaces (unless it is a profession career) but on the Sims Mobile you complete career events so complete shifts with your sims to level up and unlock new career items to decorate your workplace and make it unique to your game!

I think its great that both games are so different, if they were very similar it would be boring, if you like one you might not like the other or you could be like me and just love everything The Sims!

The Sims Freeplay- Hobbies: Ice Sculpture

weightlessmagic2 Comments

ICE PEDESTAL – ADULT SIMS ONLY – PRIZE: 2LP

NOTE: if you haven’t completed the ice sculpture hobby before you will only be able to buy the ice pedestal when an ice sculpture time limited hobby event becomes available 

Only Adults can complete the ice sculpture hobby, to begin this hobby you need to buy the ice pedestal from the promotions r us store and place it in one of your sims houses, you can buy 15, the price increases each time you buy one:

 ICE PEDESTAL  PRICE
1 S1,000
2 S1,100
3 S1,300
4 S1,900
5 S2,500
6 S9,000
7 S20,000
8 S35,000
9 S50,000
10 8SP
11 12SP
12 18SP
13 26SP
14 32SP
15 40SP

I cannot find it in my home store to place it? You need to look in your inventory under the hobby and career items section

I cannot place the pedestal, it says its locked/ limited item, what do I do? You will have this problem if you try and place it from the new items tab, look in your inventory instead to be able to place the ice pedestal in one of your sims houses.

WHY ISN’T THE ICE PEDESTAL IN MY STORE? You will need to wait for the Ice Sculpture Time Limited Event to reappear on the game, then you will be able to buy a pedestal

You can buy 15, so 15 adults sims can complete this hobby at one time.

Once placed tap on it and select one of the options:

  • Practice Sculpting- 5 hours 45 minutes
  • Conjure Masterpiece- 8 hours

After the time has passed come back and click the exclamation mark above your sims head to find one of the ice sculpture collectibles. Every time your sims complete one of the options above their ice sculpture hobby skill level up percentage will increase, once they reach 100% they will level up, there are 6 levels. You need to reach level 6 to be able to unlock all of the ice sculpture collectibles, once unlocked you will be able to find them.

The table below shows the level up percentage for each option:

This may change in future updates

 LEVEL  5 hours 45 minutes 8 hours
1-2 800% 1600%
2-3 400% 800%
3-4 200% 400%
4-5 150% 300%
5-6 50% 100%

NOTE: it says 1600% but you will start from 0% at level 2

The next table shows you for each level what ice sculpture collectibles you unlock (so you can then find those ones too) and also the level up reward that a second and future sims will receive when they level up in this hobby:

 LEVEL  TITLE 1st TIME LEVEL UP UNLOCKS 2nd+ TIMES LEVEL UP REWARD
1 Cold Feet Hunk O’ Ice and Formless Frost are unlocked in the hobby collection –
2 Snowcone Maker Ice Cubism, Icy Spike and Partial Pike are now unlocked in the hobby collection 250XP
3 Wand Waiver   Pure Plumbob,Cold Fragment and Verglas Cast are now unlocked in the hobby collection 500XP
4 Snowy Sculptor   Delicate Duck is now unlocked in the hobby collection S750
5 Winter Wizard Everfrost Sculpt and Winterblast are now unlocked in the hobby collection 10,000 Town Value
6 Pablo Picasnow Magnum Snopus is now unlocked in the hobby collection.

You can now complete the collection!

 1LP

NOTE: only the first sim completing this hobby needs to get to level 6 to unlock all the collectibles, future sims will be able to find any collectible even if they are only on level 1 in this hobby (and they can do the shortest option to try and find the collectibles quicker!)

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 ice sculpture 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):

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

The rewards for completing this collection is 2LP:

  • You will earn 2LP each time you complete this collection, unless you are completing this collection during a time limited hobby event then other prizes will be available (you can find a list of time limited hobby events here)
