Do you find it difficult building your own houses on The Sims Mobile? Do you hate LlamaZoom? Well this is the update for you!
Bye Bye LlamaZoom
Emily has said goodbye and the days of completing llamazoom tasks are gone for good! Llamazoom has been replaced by ‘Sim Festival’ and daily tasks. Llamazoom tokens are still a currency in the game (now called Llama Tokens) and can be earned by completing 5 daily tasks. Your daily tasks will refresh each day:
If you want to skip a daily task you can use simcash:
The amount of simcash needed to skip varies depending on the type of task
Types of Tasks:
There are 6 tasks to complete each day (including ‘complete 5 other tasks’)
Random*
Random*
Eco Workshop (if you haven’t unlocked the eco workshop this will be a random task)
Spend 100 Energy
Sim Specific (has to be completed by a certain sim)
Complete 5 Other Tasks
*Random tasks include purchasing items, completing sweet treat showdown or treasure hunt events and completing other types of events
You can add 3 extra daily tasks a day for a price:
1st extra costs S1,500
2nd extra costs 20 simcash
3rd extra costs 30 simcash
Sim Festival
Sim Festival is a new event that works with your daily tasks. Sim Festival Events aren’t always available so when they aren’t you can still complete your daily tasks but while sim festival events are taking place you can earn prize tickets by completing daily tasks and season tasks (season tasks are available during a sim festival event)
Prize tickets unlock rewards such as house templates (keep reading for more information) wallpaper, flooring and non playable characters.
Want to quickly delete your sims houses? This is the feature for you!
Click on the bulldozer symbol in buy mode, it will ask you if you want to clear the lot, select clear all and your house will be removed and all the items will be stored in your storage:
Watch my Demolishing a House video here:
House Templates
If you don’t like building your own houses you can now place 2 premade house templates instead. These can be found in buy mode in the Designer Homes Catalog (click on the house on the scroll symbol):
You can preview each house before you decided which one to place. Watch my House Template Tours video here:
If you have a house on a lot already but you want to replace it with a house template you can, the bulldozer will remove the house already there and all the items from that house will be placed in your storage, the new house template will be added in its place.
If you love the new house template so much you want to place it on more than one lot then it will cost to place it again, also if you have any land expansions in the way of the new house template it will overlap these removing them so you can quickly build without clearing expansions. If a house is too large for a lot it won’t let you place it.
THIS IS A PREVIOUS UPDATE, THE SIMS MOBILE HAS BEEN UPDATED SINCE THIS POST WAS WRITTEN
The latest Sims Mobile update (coming out 3rd February) is bringing day and night to our sims houses!
Day and Night Cycle
We can now set to always day, always night or day/night cycle in settings
This is just available on home lots for now so places like downtown or parkside won’t change
Lights Are Now Functional
We can now tap on lights to turn them on and off as well as turning on and off all lights from one light. Lights can also be set to automatic so they change with the day/night cycle
Transparent Windows
Transparent windows are now available to make the most of day and night
New Premium House Lot
1 Landgraab Avenue is now available to build in Briny Heights from level 18 for S500,000 with a 7 day wait to build (or build for 1,000 SimCash without having to wait) The cost amount doesn’t change.
The lot is 50×30 (regular lots are only 30×30)
This lot comes with two fountains, one is permanent and cannot be moved but the other can be stored and placed on another house lot if you wanted:
Sweet Treat Showdown Changes
You can now watch adverts using the knife block on the sweet treat bench:
Watching adverts can:
Give you extra rewards in your prize basket
Give you an extra chance in that round
You can only watch one advert per round but they seem to appear every round
The Sweet Treat Pro Ticket can be purchased with real money during a Sweet Treat Event for an advantage:
Comes with access to the Pro Mixer which has ‘better actions’ but only on rounds 1,3,5,7,9,10 (so you can earn more % and tokens than the normal actions)
You will get 6 extra sugar cubes for each challenge (so 36 in total)- if you purchase mid challenge you will get an automatic refill
Stores up to 6 attempts (so you can complete 6 challenges in a row)- if you purchase mid challenge you will get an automatic refill
Get 25 Royal Treat Tokens and 1,200 Sweet Treat Tokens extra
This only lasts for one Sweet Treat Event so if you wanted these perks every time you would have to purchase it each time a new event becomes available. This is a complete money grab in my opinion- just make it easy for all of us instead of making us pay!
I wasn’t really that bothered that we didn’t have day and night cycles to begin with so having a whole update for something so small is a bit of a disappointment!
Yesterday it was announced on Twitter that The Sims Mobile will be moving from Maxis (the makers of The Sims 4) to Firemonkeys (the makers of The Sims Freeplay). The statement said:
“To our mobile Simmers, we have some updates on the future of The Sims Mobile. The Maxis studio has made the decision to move development of The Sims Mobile to the Firemonkeys studio. The Firemonkeys have extensive and longstanding experience with The Sims having developed The Sims Freeplay for nearly a decade. Maxis and The Firemonkeys have worked closely to make this transition as smooth as possible and we’re all very excited about the future of The Sims Mobile. We continue to value and appreciate all the passion and enthusiasm you bring into this game! Maxis will continue to invest in The Sims on PC and Console and the Firemonkeys team will continue to expand The Sims universe through The Sims Freeplay and The Sims Mobile.
Moving forward, you will continue to be able to play The Sims Mobile as you do now. Given this transition, content updates will be delayed so please be patient as the Firemonkeys team ramps up and embraces The Sims Mobile.”
So what does this mean for both games? Well at the moment we don’t really know, all I know is there aren’t any plans to get rid of The Sims Freeplay right now and updates for The Sims Mobile may be delayed also most of the team who were working on The Sims Mobile are moving to The Sims 4 (as Firemonkeys is based in Australia not the USA)
Personally I’m not sure what to make of this news, I don’t want The Sims Freeplay to die because they are spending all their time on The Sims Mobile however at the same time I think they might be able to save The Sims Mobile because right now it needs a lot of work but we will have to wait and see!

What is the difference between the standard and premium residence? The only difference is the garden, the house is exactly the same on both

How do I start this discovery quest?
Once you have completed the basement quest you need to wait 24 hours then you can find Bree (the woman in the hard hat) 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

Yes it will be, you can choose to start it whenever you like
How do I phone a cab to the mezzanine house?

What are the hazards?
The tiles are the hazards
How much does it cost to build a mezzanine?
The cheapest is S4,800 for 2×1
I had all sims leave the mezzanine house but it didn’t complete the goal, why?
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 mezzanine house
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 ability to build mezzanines 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 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
