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
