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

THIS EVENT IS NOW OVER!
ONCE THE 8 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!
Party Time!! Complete this event to unlock new party items!
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! You firstly need to update your game to the dance party update for this event to appear
This event is only here for 8 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 have participated in a Live Event before then you will find your arts and crafts stations in your inventory, 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 discoball event button in the corner of the screen)
Here you will see you have collected enough items to unlock the archway entrance! 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 archway entrance (click on the discoball 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 discoball 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!

Restock 18 uses which happens instantly but will cost you 10SPs
or

NOTE:
if you store the station you will lose all the stock so when you place it again you will need to restock

That is all the personal prizes!
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: 480 candles, 720 pottery, 1080 jewelry or 1190 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 8 hours.
Thank you for everyone who let me know what Laura Craft does!
Do I think she is worth it? Definitely not! If she made constructor coins too then maybe but I’m really struggling to see how she is a good investment- even if I could afford her! I am shocked at how many people brought her before even knowing what she did!!
If I brought Laura Craft in the last event do I get her for free or do I have to buy her again? I believe you will have to buy her again for this event BUT everyone gets to try her out for 24 hours in this event:
Click on the board at the front of your house and click try for free on this pop up
ONCE THE 8 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!

During the Seniors Quest you build the bingo hall, this post explains how you use it.
The bingo hall can be found on the mysterious island, it is a bit like the Competition Center, you cannot enter the bingo hall building but you send a sim there for 24 hours and they have a chance of winning S15,000!
To use the bingo hall:
1.Click on the bingo hall and a pop up will appear saying the prize is S15,000 if your sim wins, click select sim:
2.Only senior sims can play bingo, if they are busy the option will be greyed out, click on the sim you want to play bingo:
3.Your sim will be playing bingo for 24 hours, during this time they cannot do anything else and you cannot visit them:
4.Once the time is up you will need to go back to the bingo hall and it will tell you the results of the bingo contest:
You may lose:
but you could win:
Previously when I entered I never won but now it looks like they have increased the odds of winning!
Is it worth it? I rarely use the bingo hall, it is a good way to make a few extra simoleons but there is a chance you won’t win and it does mean your sim cannot do anything else for a whole day.
