Thank you EA for providing me with the code for The Sims 4 Cats & Dogs Expansion Pack!
Once you have the expansion pack installed you are going to want to get a cat or dog straight away, if you aren’t sure how to adopt one this post shows you all the steps to adopting a cat or dog!
1.Click on the phone next to your sims picture and click on hire a service:
2.A pop up will appear, scroll down until you find the ‘adopt cat’ and ‘adopt dog’ options, select the one you want to adopt:
3.Another pop up will appear, this will show you a list of all the dogs or cats available to adopt right now, they will have a name and if you hover over them it will show you the breed they are, their age (whether they are a puppy/kitten or adult) gender, whether they can have babies and their traits:
4.Select the one you would like to adopt by clicking on them and clicking on the tick:
5.A man will then arrive with the pet in a crate, you can have your sim interact with the pet for a bit, once you are sure you want them to adopt that pet click on adopt, this will cost you S200:
6.It will ask you if you are sure, click ok:
7.You will now have adopted the pet! You can change their name if you want to:
If you don’t like how your pet looks you can customise them in create a pet, watch this video to see all the options available!
4 years ago today I started this blog and wow it has been an incredible journey! I honestly didn’t expect anyone to read this but to date this blog has received over 55 million hits! I would just like to thank all of you for being part of this, if it wasn’t for you I wouldn’t still be here writing this. I also have to thank the wonderful community manager at EA for giving me the confidence that this blog is actually good, making me part of EA GameChangers, inviting me to EA events and allowing me early access to new content to be able to bring you the information as early as possible.
In the future I will be branching out to more games, I will still be playing The Sims Freeplay but there are loads of new games that I want to play and talk about (when I get around to getting a new iPad) so hopefully you will want to read about them!
It is just amazing to see that this blog is read all over the world, in every country in fact!! To say thank you I will be giving away a £10 (or equivalent in your currency) App Store and iTunes Gift Card to two of you wonderful people! (THE GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED!)

You have until Saturday the 28th October at 10am BST to enter and winners will be announced shortly afterwards THE GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED!
A new game was released this week called Home Street, I am going to explain the basics of the game and what I think of it so far.
When you first begin the game you customise your character and then they move into a house that you can also customise as you progress through the game:
The aim of the game is to produce materials on workstations to complete jobs and tasks. You start with the easel workstation to produce paintings and new workstations can be brought from the shopping cart when you level up and unlock them:
Once a material has been produced a pop up of that item will appear, click on it to collect it:
Materials will go into the storeroom which has a capacity of 40 items to start with:
To produce materials you need to use thoughts, you produce these in the thought bubble icon by clicking on the thoughts at the top of the screen, underneath them it tells you how long it takes to produce them. I think they could change this to make it easier to see when an item has been produced:
You do only have space for 40 thoughts which fills up quickly, I hope this won’t be another one of those games where the items you need to upgrade are hard to find!
How do you know what thoughts and materials you need?
Underneath the picture of the item you are making there is a picture or several pictures of the items you need to make that item, for example, cupcakes require 1 fun thought and carrot cake requires 1 fun thought and 1 vegetables. Vegetables aren’t a thought, they are an item you make using the garden bed:
Once you have created materials you can complete jobs (phone symbol) if you have the materials you need click complete to earn your reward, some jobs require thoughts instead of materials:
Producing materials and completing jobs helps you to complete tasks, completing these unlocks places around the town:
Where are these icons located?
Tasks (top left corner)
Shopping Cart-buy items and decorate your house (bottom left corner)
Friends- connect to facebook to add friends and save your progress (next to Shopping Cart)
Jobs (bottom right corner)
Thoughts (next to Jobs icon)
Walls icon- changes the walls in the house to half wall, full wall and no wall (top right corner)
So far I like this game, it does remind me of SimCity Build It with the material producing and also the new The Sims Mobile game although I think the controls and graphics are more basic than those games. This game does crash a lot on my poor old iPod so I haven’t been able to play it for long however that’s due to the age of my device and not the game itself but I will definitely be playing it more once I get a new iPad and I will actually be able to play The Sims Mobile when it is released (which disappointingly isn’t compatible with older devices, just so you know!) as well as many other new exciting games!
Have you tried Home Street yet? What do you think?
Unsure where to find the storage or how to upgrade your storage? Check out this post!
The Animal Onesie Time Limited Hobby Event is back but be quick as it is only available for 6 days! You have to complete the Internet Kitten hobby collection 6 times in the time limit to unlock all the onesies! You can not complete once the time is up. Each time you complete the collection you unlock a dog and cat themed onesie. If you have never done the Internet Kitten hobby you can find that post here (you need to buy a kitten and a kitten play box to complete this hobby as explained in that post)
NOTE: you need to have completed the A Puppy Odyssey Quest to be able to complete this event.
If you completed this event last time it was available you will not get it this time, if you got some of the onesies last time you will only have to collect the ones you have left so if you completed it 3 times before you will only have to complete it 3 more times in the 6 days
You need to firstly accept this quest, it will remove the collectibles you have already got so you don’t get a head start.
If you say no you can start it from the goal tab.
TIPS FOR FINDING THEM ALL IN THE TIME LIMIT:
-have a sim in a neighbours town (your neighbours needs to have a kitten and kitten play box available to do this) so you can have 4 sims working at it (you can have 3 sims in your own town completing this hobby- you need a kitten and play box for each sim completing this hobby)
-you need to have at least one sim at level 6 or working on getting to level 6 so all achievements are unlocked- luckily it doesn’t take very long to level up with just the 1 hour 15 minute option!
-remember to click start new collection on the hobby collection list once you have got all the pieces otherwise you won’t find any new items, this post tells you how to do that.
– don’t panic! They will probably bring it back again if you don’t manage to complete it this time!
-most importantly: just keep going! I know it’s annoying when you get the same one constantly but you will eventually get the ones you need.
Prizes: Onesies can be found in the wardrobe for adults under outfits for free
Slightly disappointed that the onesies are only available for adults!
IF YOU DO NOT COMPLETE IN TIME YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO BUY THE ONESIES
Once you build the Movie Studio you can begin the Filmmaker career:
This is a profession career so its a little different from a normal career as you can actually go to work with 2 of your sims and help them during their work day!
You can either go to work with your sims or send them to work offsite, if you send them to work offsite this means you won’t see them at the movie studio. But you can go to work with your sim if you select send sim alone or accompany sim and then they can help sims and earn resources (only two sims can be at the movie studio at one time, all other sims with this career have to work offsite)
When you send a sim to work at the movie studio sims will enter with bubbles above their heads, you need to click on this bubble and select one of the tasks that appears, the amount of grey sections there are tells you how many tasks you have to complete before you earn the reward that is pictured in the middle of the bubble:
Once you have built the movie studio 3 workstations will already be unlocked (Security Booth, Catering Area and Golf Cart) so you can start helping sims by completing actions using these workstations, you will see options similar to the image below when you click on one of the bubbles:
Each of these tasks has to be completed in a different workstation so verify ID badge has to take place using the security booth, provide food uses the catering area and provide escort uses the golf cart
TIP: if you are unsure which workstation is required it tells you above the action!
Only one sim can use a workstation at one time (new tasks will be added when you unlock new workstations, keep reading for more information)
Each time your sims complete a task (that section will turn from grey to green) a movie coin bubble will appear above their head, click this and they will earn movie coins and XPs, the experience points are towards levelling up, so they will level up quicker than if you just sent them to work.
Once all the tasks have been completed all the grey sections will now appear green, click on this to receive your reward (the rewards are movie coins and resources used to upgrade the different workstations at the movie studio):
You can send your sims to work anytime for 8 hours but if you are helping sims they can finish early if they reach the quota, they need to help 15 sims (you need to complete all the tasks for a sim to have helped 1 sim) during their shift, then they will end their shift early and you earn extra movie coins and resources. Both sims can help the same sims and each time one of them finishes helping a sim they will both have helped one sim:
If they are working offsite they will just work for 8 hours and they won’t earn any resources as they won’t be helping any sims.
LEVELS
All sims completing this career will be able to reach level 6:
LEVEL

Then only 2 sims, once they reach level 6 can choose to be either a Director or Performer only one sim can be a director and one sim can be a performer, all other sims will stay as level 6 assistant.
Director– when your sim specialises as the Director they can continue to level up and unlock more workstations:

When your sim specialises they have to fulfil profession badges before they can level up (check the occupations tab to find out what you need to do to complete this):
Each sim can only earn one badge per shift and you need all badges before you will be able to level up in this career

If you don’t manage to complete a badge in a shift the progress for that badge will reset and you will have to start again on the next shift (for example, if your task is to help 2 important sims and you only help one, in your next shift it will reset so you will have to help 2 important sims in that shift to get the badge)
Each level requires you to complete more badges, you cannot level up until all the badges have been collected.
Who are the important sims I need to help to get a badge?
These are the sims with question marks in the bubbles above their heads:
When you reach level 10 in a profession career you unlock the work outfit in that specialist for a female and male adult sim to wear at any time, you can find these in the wardrobe under outfits:
Left- director outfits Right- actor outfits
Remember:
You can only go to work with 2 sims at a time, all other sims in this career will work offsite so you won’t see them during the day
Only one sim can use a workstation at one time
If you don’t know how Profession Careers work read my guide
Workstations
The workstations require resources to upgrade them so the time an action takes will decrease and the coins and XPs you earn for each action will increase. The resources are shown below:
Some resources are not unlocked yet, build new workstations to unlock them
You can see the resources you have in the second tab of the professions menu under storage (you can access this using the button in the top left hand corner of your screen when you are at the movie studio)
In the professions menu you can see:
Workplace Overview- here you can see the workstations you have currently unlocked, what level you are on and what resources you need to upgrade them
Storage- this is where you see your current resources collected and on the right hand side is your movie coins, the movie coins are used to increase your storage if you need to and trade for resources (which is in the next tab)
Resource Exchange- here you can either spin for resources using simoleons or LPs for the mega spin as well as trade movie coins for resources
The tables below show the upgrade resources needed, the time each upgrade will take and the time an action takes and the amount of coins and XPs you earn when you complete each action, only one of these will upgrade each time so if the time taken decreases then the amount of coins and XPs you earn will stay the same until you upgrade again and then the amount of coins you earn will increase while the time taken and XPs will stay the same.
NOTE: you can only upgrade one workstation at a time unless you are VIP
If you don’t have the amount of resources you need it will say it costs LPs, when you have the right amount of resources you can build/ upgrade the workstation without LPs (you know you have all the resources you need when there are ticks next to all the resources): When you upgrade each workstation to level 10 and 20 there will be a visual upgrade to the workstation, those pictures are shown below the table.

NOTE: you can only upgrade one workstation at a time unless you are VIP
Are there items for my home that can increase my sims job level?
Yes, you can buy the movie camera from promotions r us, it costs S2,000, once placed in a house you can practice making films for 3 hours to level up quicker.
Orange Suitcase? Can’t send your sims to work?
This is because you have already sent them to work once today, if you are VIP level 1 you can send them to work twice in a day (this will cost you 15LPs still if you are VIP)
Wait until tomorrow and you will be able to send them to work again without being VIP.
Do I need to be VIP to use the movie studio?
NO!If you are VIP you can send your sims to work twice a day (VIP level 1), upgrade more than one workstation at a time (VIP level 7) and use the mega spin (VIP level 2) but you do not have to be VIP
You can see the resources you have in the second tab of the professions menu under storage (you can access this using the button in the top left hand corner of your screen when you are at the movie studio)
