The quest queue is very helpful if you want to see what quests are coming up in the game, they will only appear in the queue once you are on the level for the quest to unlock, so Need for Steed will only appear in the queue once you are on level 11+
NOTE: You still have to complete the quests in the order they appear in the queue so you can’t choose which quest to do next
Where is the quest queue?
Click on your goal tab (active tasks button)
Underneath the quest goal you will see a number in a green box, that number is how many quests are in your queue
Click on it to see more details on the upcoming quests
This will show you how many quests you have before you can do the one you really want to do, remember all quests have to be completed in order and you can’t skip a quest.
LEVEL UNLOCKS: 12 UNLOCKS: the mall TIME LIMIT: 7 days PRIZE: burger bar
To begin this quest you need to build the mall, you can find it on the right hand side in simtown. If you complete this quest in the time limit you will unlock the burger bar. You can still complete this quest once the time limit is up to unlock the mall but you won’t get the burger bar
You cannot complete this quest at the same time as any other discovery quest
Times may vary depending on the star rating an item has.
Send a sim to the mall
Buy something from the mall store (click on the store icon in the entrance)
Send a sim home
Invite a date to the new mall- 8 minutes (click the interaction between two sims)
Summon courage on a couch- 12 hours 30 minutes
Invite a date to the new mall- 5 minutes

Shut down the lasers (switch off red button on wall- 1 minute)

The correct object is Wind up dog– 5 hours 30 minutes
Then once that task is done you need to click on the lasers again (switch off- 2 seconds)
Investigate the robot- 15 minutes
Oh and he is a toddler– that wasn’t obvious at all!
Investigate the robot head- 10 minutes
Build a new store- 1 hour S1,000
Browse new store (click on store icon in entrance)
Cheer with another sim- 1 minute (interaction)
QUEST IS COMPLETE!
The entrance to the mall now needs to be cleared before you can unlock the next areas (including the Catwalk Model Hobby) MyGuide to the Mallshows you what needs cleaning in the mall, how much the stores cost and what clothes you unlock in each store!
Prize: Burger Bar
Is the prize worth it? Yes, I think it is- otherwise you have an empty space on this level of the mall!
The burger bar is located on the middle level of the mall above the ground floor you have already opened.
NOTE: you need to click on the upstairs button at the mall to get the option to build the burger bar. If you can’t see the button you need to have a sim go to the mall. Click on a bench on the left side upstairs as if you want that sim to “rest from shopping.” The icon should appear now.
What can you do with the bar?
Adults can have burgers (wait for burger- 1 hour) have a sim serve at the bar (10 hours) so that sim can have a burger- 10 minutes
Teens can have burgers but also milkshakes at the bar (wait for milkshake- 10 minutes) if you want them to have a milkshake you again need a sim serving and then 2 sims sitting at one table as they share the milkshake.
How do I start this discovery quest? Build the mall to start 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
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
Can I do discovery quests at the same time as a main quest?
Yes you can
Do I have to do this quest?
If you don’t start building the mall 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
How do I distract the robot?
Click on the wind up dog then once that task is complete click on the lasers
My game will not recognise I have completed the leave the mall goal, what should I do?
Try and have all your sims not doing any action, this sometimes makes the game recognise you have completed that goal
What do I get if I complete this quest in the time limit?
The burger bar at the mall
I can’t complete construction on the burger bar, why?
You need to click on the upstairs floor button at the side of the screen to see the next floor at the mall
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 mall 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 mall 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
I constantly get asked this question, “how do you have so many LPs? I don’t have any!”
The one word answer: Cooking!
The cooking hobby is the best way I have found of making a lot of LPs very quickly, some people seem confused about how this works so I will be explaining exactly what I do in this post.
Firstly you need to complete the Bread Winner Quest to unlock the cooking hobby
Then you need:
Sims– as many as possible, you can have 1-10 in one house, obviously the more you have the quicker you are going to complete the collection
Oven, Toaster and Counter for each sim– if you have 6 sims, you will need 6 ovens, 6 toasters and 6 counters (TIP: if you have a toaster on a corner counter and it cannot be accessed by any sim you only need one toaster in the house for all sims to use)
Space– I use an empty house with all sims in one room, they are spaced out in their own workspaces with an oven and toaster on the counter, just so another sim doesn’t get in their way and cause them to cook a meal without getting a collectible- this can happen if they are squashed together. NOTE: you don’t need all your sims in one house, I just do because it is easier
Next you need to start cooking!
The one minute option, cheese and tomato on toast is the one you want to select
So click on the oven, click cooking and then on cheese and tomato on toast, it costs S5 each time but you get a lot more simoleons back when you find a new item.
Every time you make a dish a plate is left on the floor, I clean each one up after each dish is made, otherwise the house will be full of dishes and it really slows down the game.
TIP: If you have no sinks in the house, they will take the plates to the trashcan. A quick way to get rid of the plates is that if you kick over the trashcan the plates will just disappear OR if you store all the doors and remove all sinks from the room then the plates should disappear!
Black circle under plates– if a black circle appears under your plate this means you have so many plates in one pile so when you clean up it will take you several goes at cleaning (as you have so many plates to clean up) before the black circle will gradually decrease and the plates will disappear.
TIP: to save time click clean up, then cancel the action when they bend down to pick it up, the dish will disappear and you save some time!
Once you have completed the whole collection you will get 5LPs (you need to complete this hobby once to unlock chopping boards before you start earning LPs when you complete it) with lots of sims you can complete this collection in under an hour!
Make sure you then click restart collection before another sim finishes making the dish
This video shows me completing the cooking hobby very quickly:
Level 2 Hot Mess Maker= 250XPs Level 3 Ready Meal Maestro= 500XPs Level 4 Home Cooking Hero= S750 Level 5 Flavor Savior= 10,000 town value Level 6 Hail to the Chef= 1LP
Once your sim gets to level 6 cooking it is a good idea to put them onto a different hobby for one go at that, I use the ghost hunters hobby as it is quite quick too, then I go back to cooking to start from level 1 again.
This means you will get more money, XPs, town value and an LP for levelling up to level 6 again.
Don’t worry- going back to level 1 doesn’t mean they will just find level 1 items as you have unlocked them all now!
Hope this helps!

A DANCE TO REMEMBER – BOOM BOX – TEEN OR ADULT SIMS – PRIZES: BREAKDANCING THEMED ITEMS AND 5LP
TIME LIMITED HOBBY – TIME: 7 DAYS – TIME LIMITED PRIZE: DJ BOOTH
Once you complete the Salsa Dancing hobby you will be able to complete this hobby using your teen or adult sims, to begin this hobby you need to buy the boom box from the promotions r us store for S5,000 and place it in one of your sims houses:
I cannot place the boom box, 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 boom box in one of your sims houses.
The 7 day time limit will begin as soon as you complete the salsa dancing hobby, if you complete the breakdancing hobby in the time limit you will unlock the DJ booth:
Your teen or adult sim needs to click on the boom box and select one of the options:
Quick Break- 1 hour 30 minutes
Long Break- 10 hours 30 minutes
NOTE: the first time you complete this hobby you can only buy one boom box so only one sim can complete this hobby but you can send another sim to a neighbours town to complete this hobby (if they have a boom box) after the first time as many sims as you want can complete this hobby as you can buy as many boom boxes as you want
After the time has passed come back and click the exclamation mark above your sims head to find one of the breakdancing collectibles. Every time your sims complete one of the options above their breakdancing 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 breakdancing collectibles, once unlocked you will be able to find them.
The table below shows the level up percentage for each option:

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 breakdancing collection is shown below, once you complete the collection you need to click ‘start a new collection/restart breakdancing trophies’ 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 tocomplete the collection you need to find all 12 of the collectibles
If you complete this hobby in the time limit you will unlock the DJ Booth, you can find it in the electronics section and it costs S100,000! (far too expensive!) And a sim can’t even dance while another is DJing
The rewards for completing this collection are the breakdancing themed items and 5 LP:
The first time you complete this collection you unlock the breakdancing themed items (even if you don’t manage to complete in the time limit) it seems to just be lights, wallpaper and flooring:
I was hoping for some breakdancing outfits!
