NOTE: the game hasn’t been released worldwide yet, it is currently only available in Brazil so is still very much a working progress which means changes are still being made so the final product may turn out very different from the version I had access to at EA Play.
Create a sim on The Sims Mobile in my opinion is amazing! In this post I am going to walk you through all the different options you will find when creating your sims.
You can only have four playable sims in your town at one time, you can have other sims such as babies and toddlers but you cannot customise them. When you first open the game you will be able to create your first adult sim, I made myself:
1.Name your sim, click on the name box to open the keyboard: NOTE: you can just click randomise to select a premade sim if you aren’t bothered about creating your own sims
2.Once they have a name click customise to start editing!
3.You will now be able to select your sims gender (1), and how they look within these three sections:
Head (3)- edit all their facial features to make them incredibly unique
Body (4)- edit their body shape
Style (5)- pick their hairstyle, clothes and accessories
PLEASE NOTE: You can no longer give your sims traits (2) from the create a sim menu, this feature has been removed since I played the game at EA Play
4.To customise your sim click on the head tab to start editing their facial features, there are several tabs within this section:
Head- this changes the shape of your sims head, down the side is the skin colours to choose from- you can even give them blue or green skin!
Eyes
Nose
Lips
Cheeks
Chin
Ears
Under the grid list of options (1) on the selection bar is an edit button (2), this allows you to use sliders to edit that feature even more to make them incredibly unique:
5.When you have selected and edited all the facial features you can move onto the body section, again there are tabs within this section:
Body Shape
Physique
Extremities
And again you can edit each part using the sliders by clicking on the edit button:
6.Once you are happy with the body shape you can move onto the style, there are 4 tabs in here:
Hair and Hats- choose your hair style and colour or if you want them to wear a hat, the hair colours can be found down the side of the screen like the skin colours
Apparel (clothes)
Makeup
Accessories
Apparel (clothes)- under apparel you will find tops, pants, legwear (socks and tights) and footwear. Down the side you’ll be able to choose the colour you want that item of clothing to be, I love this feature as you don’t have to scroll through a long list of clothes which are the same just in different colours
Accessories- choose from glasses and earrings (I’m sure more items will be added as we progress through the game)
TIP: if you decide you don’t want your sim to wear a certain item click on it again to remove it from them
7.Once you have edited your sims features you have finished creating your sim, click next to see an overview of your sim and then click create sim to start the game:
You will see the arrows and messages appear when you create a sim for the first time, you can add playable sims during the game by clicking on the green add button that shows up under your current sims (this will be a lock if you haven’t reached a certain level or requirement yet)
NOTE: there is only one house on the sims mobile and you can only have four playable sims living in that house at one time, you will need to wait for your sims to retire before you can add new ones
Early Access to Beta Provided by EA/ Firemonkeys- may differ from actual version
ONCE THE 7 DAY TIME LIMIT IS UP YOU WILL HAVE 2 DAYS TO PURCHASE ANY PACKS YOU HAVE LEFT– you will not be able to collect anymore arts and crafts items or coins, you have to use the resources you have, if you don’t have enough resources all you can do is use social points to buy the requirements or wait until the event returns!
There is another live event in town and this one unlocks new wardrobe components! Live Events are very similar to a community event but this time you don’t need help from everyone who plays the sims freeplay to unlock the prizes, there are only personal prizes this time! If you haven’t already you need to update your game to the penthouses update for this event to appear
This event is only here for 7 days and the aim of it is to collect enough arts and crafts items from the arts and crafts stations (found in the event tab of buy mode) to unlock all the items in this event
NOTE: if you did another Live Event then you will find your arts and crafts stations in your inventory (or in the house you left them at) you will only be able to use the candle ones until you unlock the other stations in this event
NOTE: I completed this on the Early Access Beta so some information may be slightly different but I will update the post as I complete the event.
Place a crafting station (find the candle station in the events tab of buy mode (or your inventory)- you can only buy 4)
Make some arts and crafts items (click on the candle station to make)- 23 seconds
This takes you to the prize progress tab (you can get to it by clicking on the closet event button in the corner of the screen) Here you will see you have collected enough items to unlock the Reflection Eternal pack! When you unlock each pack, before the items are available in your home store you need to purchase them with the arts and crafts items you make- this goal is coming up!
Restock a crafting station (when the stock runs out you will have to restock before you can make anymore arts and crafts items)- You can restock instantly for 18 uses for 10SPs or restock for 2 uses which will take 10 seconds this time
Buy the reflection eternal pack (click on the closet event button, scroll down and click purchase- this will cost you 50 candles)
Use a coin flower patch (buy the coin flower patch from the event tab and select the spin plant option)
Check the daily goals (click on the closet event button and find the daily goals tab- claim the ones you can!)
Remember to claim your rewards each day!
Collect bonuses (while collecting after a certain amount of time you will see the arts and crafts item appear above that sims head, click to collect the bonus item!)
Continue collecting arts and crafts items- this is the last step but the event is not over, keep collecting the arts and crafts to unlock everything!
If you want to speed up a collecting arts and crafts action it will cost you SPs, you will get the bonus gems as well if you speed it up!

Restocking
Each station (apart from the first candle one) comes with a stock of 9 which means you can use the station 9 times before it needs to be restocked (if you got your stations out of your inventory they will all need restocking first (apart from the first candle one)) When you need to restock you will have two options:
Restock 18 uses which happens instantly but will cost you 10SPs
or
Restock 9 uses which will take you 2 hours 30 minutes but will be free
NOTE:
if you store the station you will lose all the stock so when you place it again you will need to restock
if you cancel making something using a station you will lose that stock so if you had one stock left and then you cancelled that action you would need to restock before you can create anymore arts and crafts items
Your Progress:
Click the closet button in the top corner of your game to see your progress

Prize Progress
The prize progress is how far you have got on this event, the more arts and crafts items you make the more prizes you will unlock
NOTE: the bar at the top of the personal progress tab shows you how close you are to unlocking an item, the more arts and crafts items you collect the more the bar will fill up.

Constructor Coins
You earn constructor coins by:
Personal Progress prizes
Completing Daily Goals
Coin Plant Patches
Earning Construtor Coins? Previously on these events I used social points on the Mega Spin Plant to win constructor points. I earn social points by completing the cooking hobby and earning LPs, I can then turn the LPs into SPs using the social point plant on a normal garden patch- this was when it cost 5LPs- the social point plant now costs 20LPs so you may want to try the option below first instead:
Or you can use 450 candles for the Spin Plant (a good way to use up any spare candles) which will also earn you constructor coins but the amounts are less than they are from the Mega Spin Plant
Laura Craft? You may have noticed at the front of one of your houses there is a board with a bubble of a person holding arts and crafts items above it, this is Laura Craft, you can buy her for real money to help you complete the event. When you buy her, you select the item you want her to make from the options: 200 candles, 300 pottery, 450 jewelry or 500 glassware (the amounts seem to differ for most of you and I have no idea why that is!) (you will unlock all the options once you have unlocked all the stations) and you will be able to collect them after 2 hours.
Do I think she is worth it? They have improved Laura Craft a lot since the first event (although it would be great if she made constructor coins) she used to be able to collect every 8 hours, they have now changed this to 2 hours so she is more useful now so if you are struggling then you may want to splash out and give her a try but remember you will only get her for this event, you will have to buy her again to use her for a live event in the future.
If I brought Laura Craft in the last event do I get her for free or do I have to buy her again? You have to buy her again for this event.

Do you often visit a neighbours town and you cannot find the items you need to complete social tasks in one place? This post will stop you being that neighbour and instead be able to create a house full of all the social items needed so you can become the best neighbour in simtown!
The house ideally needs to be at least 2 storys so you can add a firepole
Garden Items:
A pool with an inflatable pool toy and a diving board
A pool for your neighbours to clean (doesn’t have to be a dirty pool)
TIP: I think its best to have 2 pools, one clean and one dirty so if your neighbour is looking to swim they don’t have to clean the pool first
Poolside Recliner
Sleeping Bag
Garden Patch to plant:
TIP: again you could have two garden patches, one that they can use to plant and the other one with a sim eating plant that they can negotiate with it (grow lettuce until it turns into a sim eating plant)
Pets:
A Cat
A Dog and a Frisbee
Main Career and Hobby Items (these can be brought from the promotions r us store once they have been unlocked):
Auction Podium
Guitar
Easel
Telescope
Camera
Soccer Ball
Fashion Studio
Fire Hydrant
Mirror
Woodworking Bench
I’m not sure exactly how many of the hobbies appear in social tasks so I’ve only listed the most commonly asked for hobby items here but I would recommend you have all the hobby items you can in this one house. My house below is still a working progress, each time I unlock a new hobby I add that item to the house, some may not be needed to complete tasks but they will be helpful for neighbours completing time limited hobby events!
Haunted Items– for the ghost hunting hobby (these can be found in buy mode, look for the red ghost symbol!)
TIP: It is best to have 2 ovens, a normal one so your neighbours can bake items and the other one that is on fire (cook brownies until they cause a fire so your neighbours can extinguish it)
Also its great if you have some places in your town such as The Mall, Community Center, Campgrounds and Snow Park built!
What about a pet farm? When it was possible to have more than 2 pets in a house some players created pet farms which neighbours like to visit to find treasure from these pets quickly, it isn’t possible to make one anymore.
Once you have finished editing your house you will need to Save to the Cloud so your neighbours can see the changes you have made.
This house guide is going to show you the penthouse and 3 story apartments that can be built in downtown, where the hospital is located. There are currently four penthouse templates that can be built on 3 house lots (that you unlock once you have completed the Sims and the City Discovery Quest) and a 3 story luxury apartment (that you unlock if you complete the Downtown Developer Event in the time limit) in downtown.
There are currently four penthouse apartments and the 3 story apartments, click the links below to head straight to that part of this post:
Check out my House Tour video of these penthouses here:
3 Story Apartments
The price and time it takes to build a house increases with every house you build (this includes apartments)
How do I build 3 story apartments? You need to complete the Downtown Developer Event to get this option
How many 3 story apartments can I add? You can have one at a time, if you want to build a new apartment you will have to demolish or edit the existing one

Watch my step by step video of the quest here:
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS QUEST
please read before asking
How do I start this discovery quest?
Once you have completed the simtown express quest you can find the director in the park to start this quest
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 the quest you don’t have to do it at all but if you have already started it 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
Does it matter what option I choose for ‘tell a story of the park’?
No but I went for the one with the shortest time!
Does it matter what option I choose for ‘boast about a visitor’?
No but again I went for the one with the shortest time!
What do you mean when you say a goal can be started early?
Any goal that you can normally do can be started early because you will have access to it and any goal that you can’t normally do you will have to wait until you get the goal to be able to complete it
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
Help! I can’t give the donuts to a sim, why? You need to find two sims who are strangers to be able to give them the donuts, they can’t have interacted before
What do I get if I complete this quest in the time limit?
You unlock celebrity fashion outfits
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 penthouse apartments before you can move onto the next quest
What do the penthouse apartments look like?
You can find all about them in this post
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 it you don’t have to do it
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
NOTE: you can just click randomise to select a premade sim if you aren’t bothered about creating your own sims
