The Sims Freeplay- Hobbies: Horse Tricks

August 29, 2014March 23, 2020 weightlessmagic50 Comments

STABLES – 1 STAR HORSES – ADULT SIMS ONLY – PRIZES: 2 STAR HORSES AND 3LP

Once you have built the stables in the Need for Steed Quest you can built and clear the first arena which is horse tricks (read my guide to the stables post for more information) Once built 2 adult sims and 2 horses can complete this hobby at one time.

Send an adult sim to the stables, click on the horse and select:

Horse Tricks- 3 hours

After the time has passed come back and click the exclamation mark above your sims head to find one of the ribbon collectibles. Every time your sim does the horse tricks your horse tricks hobby skill level up percentage will increase, once you reach 100% you will level up, there are 6 levels. You need to reach level 6 to be able to unlock all of the ribbon collectibles, once unlocked you will be able to find them.

The table below shows the level up percentage:

This may change in future updates

LEVEL	Horse Tricks
1-2	50%
2-3	40%
3-4	30%
4-5	25%
5-6	20%

For example you would need to do horse tricks 2 times to reach level 2 from level 1

The next table shows you for each level what ribbon collectibles you unlock (so you can then find those ones too) and also the level up reward that a second and future sims will receive when they level up in this hobby:

LEVEL	TITLE	1st TIME LEVEL UP UNLOCKS	2nd+ TIMES LEVEL UP REWARD
1	Horse Servant	Take a Bow and Here Boy are unlocked in the hobby collection	–
2	Neighbourly Friend	Nod your Head and Kisses and Hugs are now unlocked in the hobby collection	250XP
3	Obedience Trainer	Stay Put and Meet and Greet are now unlocked in the hobby collection	500XP
4	Sideshow Rider	Rearing on Up and Spinning Pony are now unlocked in the hobby collection	S750
5	Trick Master	Back it Up and Look Away are now unlocked in the hobby collection	10,000 Town Value
6	Horse Whisperer	Say Hi and Shake your Head are now unlocked in the hobby collection. You can now complete the collection!	1LP

NOTE: only the first sim completing this hobby needs to get to level 6 to unlock all the collectibles, future sims will be able to find any collectible even if they are only on level 1 in this hobby!

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 horse tricks collection is shown below, once you complete the collection you need to click ‘start a new collection’ 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 to complete the collection you need to find all 12 of the collectibles

The rewards for completing this collection are 2 star horses and 3LP:

The first time you complete the collection you will unlock 2 star horses, these are needed to be able to complete the horse vaulting hobby (check out my guide to horses for more information)

You will now also be able to use the 2 star horses to complete this hobby quicker!

From the second time onwards each time you complete the collection you will earn 3LP

The Sims Freeplay- Careers: Politician

August 28, 2014March 30, 2020 weightlessmagic1 Comment

Politician is one of 8 careers your adult sims can have (not including profession careers) and this post explains all you need to know about this career.

How do I start this career?

You firstly need to build the town hall which is one of the goals in the Higher Education Quest. Then you will be able to select politician from the list of careers.

Once your sim is a politician you can click on the pulsing suitcase on the simtracker to send them to work once a day. During this time you won’t see them at work and you cannot go to the town hall, on the simtracker it will just say they are at work, once the time is up they will arrive back at home and be rewarded with the simoleons and XP they earned for that shift. The more they work, the higher level they will reach in that career and the more money they will earn.

You can then send your sims to work again at/after 12am as it is the start of a new day.

Still unsure? This post explains how to get a job, send your sims to work and how to quit

What hours do they work?

You can send your sims to work anytime of the day for 7 hours, once they finish their shift you will receive the simoleons and XP they have earned. When they reach a new level in that career a pop up will appear to show you how much they will earn for the next shift.

What are the levels and how much money and XP do you earn for a day at work?

	Title	Simoleons	Experience Points (XP)
1	Secretary	950	595
2	Intern	1,030	890
3	Campaign Manager	1,140	1,260
4	Council Member	1,170	1,530
5	Mayor	1,220	1,780

How do I find out what level my sim is on?

You can see this information in the occupations (career) tab. This tab is where you give your sims careers to begin with. Here you can see your sims career and the level they are on and if you click on the symbol of the career you will be able to see how much your sims earn and you can quit jobs from here too.

Which career earns the most money? Find out here

Can I increase my sims career level from home?

Yes you can buy mirrors from the promotions r us store or hobby and career items tab of the home store. It costs S300 for the basic mirror but you can also buy others if you have completed the live event to unlock them. Once placed in your sims house you can practice speech for 3 hours. During this time your career bar will increase like it does when they go to work (but slower) If you don’t want to buy a mirror you can also use the soap box in the park to make a speech for 12 minutes (or you can pick a longer option) this will increase it too!

The Sims Freeplay- Restarting a Hobby Collection

August 23, 2014September 1, 2020 weightlessmagic33 Comments

This is the same for any hobby, firstly you need to complete the collection as you will not be able to start the collection again if you don’t have all the pieces yet.

Once you have found them all it will tell you, then you will need to go back to the blue collection screen (where you can find all the hobby collections)

You do this by clicking on the sim info panel, find the hobby tab (second one) and click on the hobby picture (on a sim who is doing this hobby)

Once opened you will see the start collection again button at the top, click that and the collection will be reset so you can find all the pieces again.

When you reset the hobby it doesn’t reset your level, so if you were on level 6 you will still be on level 6.

The Sims Freeplay- Using the Restaurant

August 17, 2014August 27, 2020 weightlessmagic137 Comments

If you have just built your restaurant and have no idea how to serve food to customers then this is the post for you! If you are struggling to build your restaurant still then read this post for guidance

So you need three people:

1. Someone to cook something

2. Someone to wait tables- 10 hours (click on the booth infront of the kitchen)

3. Someone to have meal- 1 hour (click on table)

The pictures below show each step:

GLITCH: currently only one sim can sit at a 4 seat table at a time

When a meal is made and someone is sitting at the table the waiter will serve the food and they will eat the meal for 10 minutes

Cleaning the dishes

To tidy up you need to click on the sink in the kitchen and select keep cleaning dishes- 10 hours, this sim will then collect and wash up all dishes. Once all dishes have been cleared away they will stop the action. What else can you do at the restaurant?

You can order a drink from the rooftop bar, to do this you need a sim to tend the bar for 20 minutes and then a sim can order a cocktail, this will cost you 2500. Cocktails will inspire your sim (fulfil their needs) By the piano downstairs and upstairs near the sofa you can close dance for 10 minutes with another sim and the piano can be played at the same time!

You can also build a romantic relationship up fast by clicking on the stools, one sim selects the option scope room and the other sim selects the other stool to hit on.

The Sims Freeplay- Building the Restaurant

August 16, 2014January 15, 2019 weightlessmagic86 Comments

Do you want a beautiful 5 star restaurant? Well it’s time to start repairing (once you have completed The Sous Judgemental Quest)

This post is to show what you need to clean up and how long it takes to unlock each section (if you use only one sim- I wouldn’t recommend that if you want it fixed up soon) you can have up to 10 sims fix up your restaurant at once which makes it a lot quicker to make it usable.

A blue exclamation mark appears sometimes to show you what needs to be removed:

But it doesn’t appear on all items, if you think something looks broken and needs fixing click on it and see.

Some items also can’t be fixed until another item has been removed, so in the downstairs bathroom area you can’t get to the cobweb in the corner until the leaky roof and trash have been sorted.

Once everything in that area has been removed you will be able to unlock the next area, the order and prices can be seen in this post.

Foyer (have already unlocked in the sous judgemental quest)

Trash- 30 minutes
Trash- 1 hour 30 minutes
Paint buckets- 2 hours
Broken tile- 3 hours
2 Lamps- 4 hours each= 8 hours
Leaky roof- 6 hours
Broken wall- 10 hours

Total time= 1 day 7 hours

Dining Area, Kitchen and Bathrooms

Dining Area– 50,000- 3 hours

Cobwebs- 10 minutes
Trash- 30 minutes
2 Trash- 1 hour 30 minutes each= 3 hours
8 Chairs- 2 hours each= 16 hours
2 Paint buckets- 2 hours each= 4 hours
5 Broken tiles- 3 hours each= 15 hours
4 lamps- 4 hours each= 16 hours
2 Leaky roofs- 6 hours each= 12 hours
2 tables- 7 hours each= 14 hours
Broken wall- 10 hours
2 broken chandeliers- 12 hours each= 1 day

Total time= 4 days 12 hours 40 minutes

Kitchen– 100,000- 4 hours 30 minutes

Unlocks bathroom area too.

2 Dirty dishes- 15 minutes each= 30 minutes
Trash- 30 minutes
2 trash- 1 hour 30 minutes each= 3 hours
2 Paint buckets- 2 hours each= 4 hours

Total time= 2 days 50 minutes

You can now cook and serve food for customers in your restaurant, now you can start on the second floor! (once you have completed the multi story renovations quest!)
