THIS IS A PREVIOUS UPDATE, THE SIMS MOBILE HAS BEEN UPDATED SINCE THIS POST WAS WRITTEN
The latest Sims Mobile update (coming out on the 11th May from 10:30pm UTC) allows us to create multi story houses!
Adding a New Floor
Once the update is released we will be able to add 2nd and 3rd floors to our houses so we can build a 3 story house!
To build a second floor you firstly need to purchase a permit from build mode under the ‘Floor Levels’ tab:
Second Floor Level– unlocks from Level 14
Costs S20,000 and takes 12 hours to get permit approved
BUT you can early unlock with 300 simcash from Level 4 (there is no waiting time if you use simcash)
Third Floor Level– unlocks from Level 25 (you can only buy a third floor level after you have brought the second level)
Costs S80,000 and takes 2 days to get permit approved
BUT you can early unlock with 600 simcash from Level 4 (there is no waiting time if you use simcash)
NOTE: you will need to purchase these permits separately for each of your house lots if you want all of your houses to be multi story
Once you have the permit you can then add rooms onto your new floor like you would on the ground floor- you can even build floating rooms which are rooms without a room underneath them!
Floor Button
The Floor Button can be found on your screen even without owning a multi story house but if you do you can toggle up and down to view all the floors and the roof.
TIP: you can easily move items and rooms from one floor to another using this button- just pick up the item and click on the floor button to get to the floor you want and then place the item or room (you cannot place anything on the roof)
Stairs
Stairs are not required to access 2nd and 3rd floors- your sims can just teleport but if you do want stairs you can find them in the ‘Stairs’ tab of build mode. When you first update there are currently 3 available but keep your eyes peeled because there will be new staircases added in the future as prizes in events:
Stairs can be placed outside but they must be leading to a room
When placing stairs you’ll see:
White Lines– this shows you where the rooms are located on the floor above.
Yellow Patches– these appear when you are trying to place the stairs on top of another item, if you click the green tick to place the stairs there those items will be moved to your storage. This is going to save a lot of time, rather than cancelling placing the stairs and storing those items yourself it can all be achieved in one click.
Red– this means there is something in the way, either a wall or a sim is completing an action using an item in that area (items being used cannot be stored)
Once placed you can put items underneath the staircase so you could add a desk or some decorative items on the walls- I really love this idea:
The item limit has been raised to accommodate for us having a lot more space now so if you reached the item limit before you should be able to add more items again!
Supports
These columns can be placed underneath a room or part of a room that is floating to make it structurally sound, there is also an XL version to reach the 3rd floor:
The ability to add multi levels to houses is a permanent feature so don’t worry if you aren’t ready yet as it will be available forever
New House Lot
A new house lot, Edgewater Quay has been added to Briny Heights, this one is on a beachside lot! It is available from level 18 and costs S750,000 with a 7 day wait to build (or build for 2,000 SimCash without having to wait) The cost amount doesn’t change.
The lot is 30×40 (regular lots are 30×30)
This lot is slightly different to the rest as this one already has a 2 story house built on it but you can still edit this house and create a new one in it’s place. You also unlock the wallpaper and flooring in this house but not the items (you can store those items to use in another house but you won’t be able to buy more of that item if you haven’t already unlocked it)
This is such a highly requested update and I cannot wait for it! Moving rooms around looks so easy and I will definitely be adding some floating rooms! I’m really hoping we will be able to add balconies in a future update
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!
Early Access to Beta Provided by EA/ Firemonkeys (Presented by EA GameChangers) may differ from actual version
NO LONGER AVAILABLE
To celebrate the 20th Anniversary of The Sims this year a few familiar faces are arriving in Simtown, from the 28th January you can find a new guest arriving at the nightclub each week with gifts for you so make sure you check back on the dates listed below. There are 6 ‘iconic’ characters heading to Simtown, send a sim to the nightclub and select ‘anniversary present’ on each to collect your bonus prize!
I have been told that these characters should stay at the nightclub for the whole of the update so if you can’t get on the game one week you should still be able to get that gift the next
There will also be a free pack available from the online store from the 28th January to 9th February, click here for more information

THIS QUEST IS NOW OVER
Your sims are just waiting to see what disaster will occur this Christmas, join them for this 13 day quest from the 12th December! There are 13 sets of goals to complete in the 13 day time limit so there is a set of goals to complete each day, if you complete the quest in the time limit you win the spectacular lakehouse template! Make sure you update your game to the 2019 lake house Christmas update to be able to start this quest
You have to wait between completing each set so you complete one set per day, after completing a set you have to wait for a certain amount of time before being able to continue with the quest (the time varies depending on how long you take) unless you are behind then you will move straight onto the next set once you have completed the previous.
TIP: there are lots of tasks that need to be done more than once, this year you can use LP to skip all these tasks or you can still use the maximum sims you can to complete the task but remember if you just use one sim you will run out of time

If you completed this quest in the time limit you will be able to build the Lakehouse in your Simtown, keep reading for information and pictures of all the prizes you unlock in this quest
You cannot complete this quest or earn the prizes once the quest is over
Watch my walkthrough of this quest here:
Prizes
THE FIRST ONE OF EACH PRIZE IS FREE
First Set: Beige Diamond Rug
Found in the rugs section, first one is free then they cost S40,000 each
Can be found in the living room and chimneys and fireplaces sections
Brown Stone Chimney (S550,000) Walnut Stone Fireplace (S510,000) Xmas Walnut Fireplace (S510,000)
The chimney needs to be placed on the exterior (outside) of the house, you can only place the chimney on the ground floor (or on a balcony) and cannot place it if there is something in the way above where you want to place it (red squares will appear)
You will be able to build the Christmas Lakehouse on a standard or premium residence, the first one is free, after that the cost in simoleons depends on how many houses you have already built
Once unlocked you can also use the canoe, snow angel mounds and ice skates outside the lakehouse:
The only difference between the lakehouse on a standard and a premium residence is the patio area on the premium is longer, there is also a patio table and chairs and trees on the premium residence
There is enough room on the premium to build a guest house, if I manage to unlock this house I think I will add a bed and breakfast or hotel in this area
THIS IS A PREVIOUS UPDATE, THE SIMS MOBILE HAS BEEN UPDATED SINCE THIS POST WAS WRITTEN
The latest Sims Mobile update (coming out 26th November) is adding 3 new house lots to the game, perfect for players who love to build and decorate houses but hate demolishing them (like me!)
New Town Map
The map looks slightly different, there is no longer the house location, instead there is a house button in the right corner to take you to all the house lots:
Building A New House Lot
Once you reach level 18 you will unlock the 3 new house lots in Briny Heights, the price to build each lot varies (it increases each time you build one):
2nd lot- costs S40,000 and takes 8 hours to build (but can spend 250 simcash to build instantly instead)
3rd lot- costs S100,000 and takes 2 days to build (but can spend 500 simcash to build instantly instead)
4th lot- costs S250,000 and takes 7 days to build (but can spend 750 simcash to build instantly instead)
You will be able to add 12 sims to each house but you still can only have 4 playable sims in total, I really think they should make it possible to change who your playable sim is without having to delete current playable sims from the game
Moving Sims
In Briny Heights when you click on a house you can see all the sims who live there, click go there to visit the house or click on a sim and then on a different house to move them to that house- you can even move out children to live on their own!
Family Portrait
You can now buy more family portraits in the wall decorations section to place in each house. When you click on the portrait you will see each household, click on the arrow to scroll through the households (playable sims will have the plumbob above their head)
You will see previous generations via a button in the corner of this screen but this isn’t separate for each household so you will see all your previous sims here
You can also see the family portrait by clicking on the house name in Briny Heights
Parties
Parties can only be hosted in the original house so make sure you have any party items you want your friends to use in this house
What else is new?
There is no longer the move out option when sims are retired, it is now just delete to avoid confusion
There is no longer a limit/count on objects in build and buy
Energy boosting items don’t need to be in every house, placing in one still gets the benefits in all houses!
I am so glad we can now build more than one house in the game! I haven’t changed my original house for so long as I don’t want to delete it but now I don’t have to! I would have liked to see more than 4 playable sims but I can see why it would be difficult to change that, hopefully in the future there will be an option to at least change which of our sims are playable and I would love to see more neighbourhoods with different themes and new themed items to go with them.
You can now watch adverts using the knife block on the sweet treat bench:
The Girl Who Games
