For some quests you really need to be good with time management but sometimes that still isn’t enough, if you want to complete a quest in time you can use the posts on this site to see what goal will be coming next. Another great way to be able to complete these quests on time is by starting certain goals earlier than required which I will be explaining in this post.
What goals can be started early?
Any goal that you can normally do can be started early because you will have access to it, for example:
Bake rocky road (any baking or gardening)
Watch a documentary
Any goal that you can’t normally do you will have to wait until you get the goal to be able to complete it, goals such as:
Post bridge schematics
Look up locksmith on computer
The tip with this method is to put the sim doing that action early in a different house that you cannot go to until you get that goal or it will not work
I will explain an example with the Raiders of the Lost Artifacts quest, so while on the previous quest (Mysterious Island) I had a quick look at my quest post to see if anything needed to be started during the previous quest. As you only have 2 days to complete this quest it is a good idea to get a head start (I completed this quest within a few minutes because of the early start)
Goals below in bold can be started early:
Go to the mysterious island
Tap on a monument
Read big book of stuff- 19 hours
Leftovers from a fridge- 18 seconds
Search for artifacts in the garbage- 8 minutes 30 seconds
Find the third artifact
Upgrade the riches of terra to level 1
The first 2 goals cannot be done early but they don’t take any time at all.
Goal 3 takes 19 hours to do which is almost half of the time limit.
I started goal 3 while my mysterious bridge was building, but you could start it even earlier! It’s a good idea to do this in a house that no one lives in (or the person doing the goal lives in on their own) so other sims don’t get in your way. Once I finished the tap on the monument goal I then go to the house where the sim is reading the big book of stuff and they should be done by now so it will complete straight away!
Goal 4 can also be started early but it is very short so there isn’t really any point.
The last 3 tasks cannot be started early but they are relatively quick.
Watch this video for a full explanation on how this works:
Once the Teen Idol Quest has been complete you unlock the sim sign (located next to the estate agency in the town) you need to get it to level 3 by finding the resources to upgrade it.
THERE IS NO TIME LIMIT FOR THIS
What resources do you need?
TV Show Cameos
Radio Interviews
Magazine Photoshoots
How many of each piece do you need for each level?
Level 0= 5 of each
Level 1= 10 of each
Level 2= 15 of each
How do you find the pieces?
Each time you find all 3 notes for the drum kit, guitar and microphone you get a piece of each
Drumkit Notes= 1 TV Show Cameo
Guitar Notes= 1 Radio Interview
Microphone Notes= 1 Magazine Photoshoot
Make sure you restart the collection once you have found them all to find them again!
You can also get them randomly when you do actions but be prepared to spend LP or it will take you a long time to complete the sim sign without them to speed things up!
How many LPs will it cost if you decide to speed up?
Level 0= 42 LP
Level 1= 90 LP
Level 2= 135 LP
Total= 267 LPs
My teens are ready to age but they haven’t completed the sign, what do I do?
Just start a new teen on this hobby and keep going to complete the sign. You can have up to 5 sims complete the hobby at the same time once it has been completed for the first time.
Once the sim sign is at level 3 it will be lit up, as shown below:
And then you can build the teen mansion on a premium residence, the first one free! After that they cost simoleons, the price varies depending on how many other houses you have but it is cheaper to build the teen mansion, than to buy an empty plot to build on (as you are paying for each floor)
What does the teen mansion look like?
Front of the house with 3 starGround Floor2nd Floor3rd FloorSwimming Pool
THE FIRST TEEN MANSION IS FREE
If you didn’t unlock the volleyball net on the Its All Going Swimmingly Quest then don’t worry you get one in this house!
Personally I really like this house, I think it is well worth all those LPs I spent trying to complete the sign!
NOTE: teens cannot live in this house on their own even if they are the teen idol unless an adult lives there and they ask the teen to move in then you can move the adult out.
Anyone can live in this house, they don’t have to be the teen idol. It is just a normal house.
Want teens to live alone in this house?Watch this video to find out how to do that:

I cannot place the broomstick closet, 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 broomstick closet in one of your sims houses.
The 7 day time limit will begin as soon as you complete the spell casting hobby, if you complete the broomstick flying hobby in the time limit you will unlock the fantasian cleaning mop:
Your teen or adult sim needs to click on the broomstick closet and select one of the options:
Quick broomstick flight- 4 hours 30 minutes
Long broomstick flight- 12 hours 30 minutes
NOTE: the first time you complete this hobby you can only buy one closet 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 broomstick closet) after the first time as many sims as you want can complete this hobby as you can buy as many closets as you want
