The Sims Freeplay- Sim Town Health Spa Community Event

November 2, 2016January 16, 2019 weightlessmagic108 Comments

THIS EVENT IS NOW OVER

~~LAST CHANCE~~

The Simtown Health Spa event has ended. You now have 7 days from the 14th November to buy any of the prizes you didn’t purchase during the time limit but you will not be able to collect anymore gems or coins towards them so if you don’t have all the requirements you will either have to use SPs or not get the prize.

This community event started on the 2nd November- this is the second time this event has appeared on the game.

If you started it last time you will start from where you got to, if you completed it last time you won’t have to complete it again but you can still collect gems to help the community progress!

This event is only here for 12 days and the aim of it is to collect enough gems from special gem deposits (found in the event tab of buy mode) to unlock all the items in this event

For the community part of this event (yes those prizes are the same as last time) the gems everyone collects (you do not need neighbours this is everyone who plays the games progress) is added together and we unlock new items when we have collected so much

NOTE: All the information in this post is from the event last time- I am completing it again so if anything has changed I will update as I progress

Place a quartz deposit (find in the events tab of buy mode- you can only buy 4)

Collect some gems (click on the quartz deposit to collect)- 10 seconds

This takes you to the personal progress tab (you can get to it by clicking on the flower event button in the corner of the screen)

Here you will see you have unlocked the spa robes! (keep reading for information on all prizes!)

Use a coin flower patch (buy the coin flower patch from the event tab and select the spin plant option)

Check the community progress (click on the flower event button and find the community tab)

Check the daily goals (click on the flower event button and find the daily goals tab- claim the ones you can!

Remember to claim your rewards!

Collect bonuses (while collecting after a certain amount of time you will see the gem appear above that sims head, click to collect bonus gems!)

Continue collecting gems- this is the last step but the event is not over, keep collecting gems to unlock everything!

If you want to speed up a collecting gems action it will cost you SPs, you will get the bonus gems as well if you speed it up!

Stuck on these tasks? Watch my video here:

Daily Goals

Check on the first tab every day because if you complete all the daily goals you will get additional rewards

NOTE: remember to click CLAIM once you have completed a daily goal to collect the reward and remember to claim your free constructor coins and free gems each day!

How do I claim or buy a prize to complete a daily goal?

You need to buy one of the personal progress items that you have unlocked (once you have all the gems and constructor coins needed for it you can click purchase) or on a community prize you click claim to complete this so its a good idea not to claim or purchase all items as soon as you unlock them so you can earn the 25 coins for completing the daily goals each day

I built the spa on a premium ocean view lot because I felt it was too compacted on the standard, on the premium the sauna and meditation rooms are separate, on the standard they are very close or attached to the main building and there is no room for the hot tub

The template already contains the prizes that you have unlocked during the event so you don’t have to buy any extras for this and you still have your free ones to use in a different house

Premium

Standard

Earning Construtor Coins? Last time I use 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 400 Quartz for the Spin Plant (a good way to use up any spare Quartz) which will also earn you constructor coins but the amounts are less than they are from the Mega Spin Plant

Community Progress

The community progress is the combined progress of all players gems collected to unlock new items for all of us!

The Sims Freeplay- Simtown Market

October 22, 2016August 27, 2020 weightlessmagic149 Comments

The simtown market has been added to the October 2016 update of the sims freeplay. If you have finished upgrading all the workstations at a profession workplace and have been wondering if there is any point in sending your sims to work to collect resources or if you have reached your limit on the resources you can store, and find it a waste just to sell them- then this update is for you!

The simtown market allows you to use these spare resources to earn prizes! You earn market points by shipping market orders (these orders are made from resources, for example, you may be asked to ship 1 coffee and 2 popcorns) The more orders you ship, the more market points you earn, meaning the more prizes you will unlock!

The more developed your workplace is (the more workstations you have built/upgraded) the more market points you will earn as you will receive a bonus %

Couriers appear at the workplace and they need to be helped by a sim who works in that profession. Like helping a normal sim in this profession, when you complete all the tasks and help the courier you earn market tokens but there is a time limit in which you will need to help them in otherwise they will leave and you won’t receive the tokens.

NOTE: it costs SPs to speed up helping the courier- not LPs

Shipping tokens earns you a lot more points than shipping normal resources but you can only store 3 so you have to use them to collect more!

Simtown Market Tutorial– completing the tutorial unlocks access to regular special events, allowing you to earn prizes you previously missed out on or completely new prizes!

NOTE: you cannot start the tutorial until there is an event available- check in your goal tab to see if an event has started or is coming soon!

View the Simtown market (go to the Movie Studio (this may be a different profession workplace if you complete this tutorial during a different event) and click on the symbol of the person holding a parcel)

Complete a market order (again view the simtown market and click on a box and select ship order)

View the workplace overview (this is the button in the left hand corner of your screen while you are at the movie studio)

Start helping a courier- the courier will arrive at the movie studio:

(a sim needs to be working at the studio to be able to help the courier- the same way you help other sims at a profession workplace)

Spend a market token (go to the simtown market again, click on the box and select ship order)

TUTORIAL IS COMPLETE!

Special Events- I am not going to be creating a post each time a new one is released as I believe they will all work in the same way

All you need to do is ship market orders and earn market points to fill up the bar in the time limit. Each time you reach a line on the bar you will receive a prize! The green is your current progress towards the prizes.

Most of the prizes are different for everyone as it depends what you have already unlocked but the grand prize is a new item so that is probably the same for everyone!

If you have completed all the current orders you will need to wait 30 minutes for new ones to appear or skip waiting for 10SPs- you can also unlock new slots for SPs!

Currently I am still upgrading my workstations so I probably won’t be using this too much unless I cannot collect new items without selling my resources but I think it is a great idea!

Time Extension Event- this works the same as the other events but instead of just using resources from one profession you can ship resources from all professions and the grand prize for completing this is a time extension which can be used if you run out of time on a quest or hobby- previously only available as a VIP perk

If I’m on the last task helping a courier will he stay if the time runs out?

He doesn’t seem to stay anymore annoyingly! (let me know if this changes again!)

If you unlock an extra slot costing social points in the market event does it stay unlocked for future events?

Yes, they will stay unlocked

Can I save courier tokens for the next event?

Yes you can!

Does the courier arrive at a specific time?

The courier doesn’t seem to appear at a certain time, you need to have a sim working and the more customers you get through the more chance you have of seeing the courier

Thanks for reading!

VOTE: Do you want EA to add more profession careers?

August 28, 2016January 15, 2019 weightlessmagic39 Comments

Hi everyone! I’m just wondering what you all think of these new profession careers (police and movie star), would you like the makers of the sims freeplay to add more to the game?

NOTE: I know I put ‘no they are boring!’ But even if you don’t think they are boring, they are time consuming or you have another reason for not liking them still vote no if you don’t want them to add anymore!

If you voted yes I would love to know why- I have heard a lot about why people have voted no but not much from the those who enjoy these new careers!

The Sims Freeplay- The Pet Park

August 24, 2016January 16, 2019 weightlessmagic8 Comments

This is a guide to the pet park, once you complete the life dreams and legacies quest you will have the ability to unlock the pet park.

Requires 2 Bronze Animal Fanatic Orbs and 4 Silver Animal Fanatic Orbs to build

This post explains how you earn orbs

Once you unlock the pet park you unlock the Dog Obedience hobby for adults, seniors and teens

There are two other hobbies at the pet park, Dog Agility and Cat Show, these both require orbs to build the areas to start these hobbies:

Dog Agility: Requires 3 Silver Animal Fanatic Orbs and 2 Gold Animal Fanatic Orbs

Cat Show: Requires 1 Platinum Animal Fanatic Orb and 3 Gold Animal Fanatic Orbs

You can have sims judge and watch the cat show but you do not need them to complete this hobby, you only need a sim to partake in the cat show hobby

What else is at the pet park?

One final area requires orbs to build

Nine Lives Cafe: Requires 2 Silver Animal Fanatic Orbs and 3 Gold Animal Fanatic Orbs to build

A sim can wait on tables while another sim waits for coffee, there is also a cat run in the cafe for your cats to use while they are at the pet park
The dog pool unlocks when you build the pet park, this can be used by your dogs

How do I send my dogs and cats to the pet park?

To be able to send them to the pet park they need to be wearing collars, you can buy collars for them from the Pet Salon. Once they have a collar click on that pet and select ‘send to pet park’

I really like that cats and dogs can be included in the game more when you build the pet park however it does seem to take a long time to build all the places in this park so I would recommend only using Animal Fanatic Orbs to build the park, use the other orbs to pause your sims.

Thanks for reading!

The Sims Freeplay- Guide to Profession Careers

July 24, 2016November 16, 2024 weightlessmagic387 Comments

There are now four profession careers; Police, Filmmaker, Medical Staff and Spa Staff so I thought it would be a good idea to make a post explaining how these profession careers work.

You can find specific information on each profession career by clicking on these links:
Police, Filmmaker, Medical Staff & Spa Staff

What is the difference between professions and normal careers?

Professions are still careers but you can go with your sim to the workplace and while they are there they help sims to earn resources, these resources are used to build and upgrade areas inside the workplace called workstations.

Professions Training Quest

Once you have built a profession workplace the Professions Training Quest will begin (there is no time limit to this you just have to complete it before you can send anymore sims to work there- and yes you can complete it at the same time as other quests)

It is more of a tutorial than a quest

NOTE: you will only receive this quest the first time you build a profession workplace so when you reach level 6 in another profession it will not appear again, this quest below shows the police profession but it is the same for all professions.

Visit the police station
Send a sim to work at the police station (give them a job at the police station the same way you usually give them a job then click on the suitcase to send a sim to work- select accompany sim to go to the station with them)
Help a sim at the police station- tap a bubble that appears over a sims head and complete one of the tasks
Help again at the police station- complete the second task on the bubble
Check workplace overview (found in the profession menu in the top left on your screen while at the police station)
Check workplace storage (second tab in the profession menu)
Help a sim at the police station
Check the work shift quota- this can be found on the work bar:

Fulfil special requests- this is a task where the bubble shows a question mark instead of the resource, complete the tasks to find out what resource you will be rewarded
Trade resources (third tab in the profession menu)
Upgrade a workstation- click on a green arrow at one of the workstations to get the option to upgrade it

Complete the remaining work day- either keep helping sims, leave your sim to work or click on the red cross on the work bar and then on complete shift (this will usually cost you LPs

QUEST IS COMPLETE!

Once you complete the quest you can send other sims to work there

How do I help sims?

When you send a sim to work 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 (which is a resource) that is pictured in the middle of the bubble:

Each task has to be completed in a different workstation and only one sim can use a workstation at one time (new tasks will be added when you unlock new workstations)

Each time your sims complete a task (that section will turn from grey to green) a coin bubble will appear above their head, click this and they will earn 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.

Sometimes you may see a question mark appear in the bubble instead of a resource, this is a mystery resource, you will find out what it is when you complete the tasks:

these are important sims needed to collect badges

Does the same sim have to complete all the tasks when they help a sim?

No they don’t

Can I send one of the sims away if I don’t want to help them right now?

No, they will stay at the workplace until you help them

What are resources used for?

The resources are used to build and upgrade the different workstations within the workplace.

Build new workstations to unlock new resources

What are coins used for?

Coins are used to increase your storage and trade for resources

Can I send my sim to work on their own like a normal career? Will they still collect resources?

Yes you can send them to work on their own and they will still level up however they will level up slower than if they help sims and they will not collect any resources.

What is the work shift quota?

The work shift quota shows how many sims you need to help within the shift to finish their shift early and earn bonus resources

What are the workstations?

Police

Rookie:

Training Center
Front Desk
Surveillance Van

Once your sim reaches level 6 you can decide which career to specialise them in: either Metro Police or Special Agent, you will need to have a sim as each to be able to unlock the other workstations

Doctor:

Psychiatrist’s Office- level 7 Doctor
Research Laboratory- level 8 Doctor
Surgery Room- level 9 Doctor

Only the doctor will be able to complete tasks to help sims that require one of the workstations above

What do you get for upgrading workstations?

Each time you upgrade a workstation one of the following will happen:

The time taken to complete the task will decrease
The amount of coins you receive will increase
The amount of XPs you receive will increase

YOU WILL NOT GET ALL OF THESE UPGRADES EACH TIME, ONLY ONE

Each workstation can be upgraded 20 times

Check out my Police, Filmmaker & Medical Staff posts for information on each upgrade

Why do I need to be VIP 7 to upgrade a workstation?
You don’t! If you are VIP 7 you can upgrade two workstations at once, if you aren’t you will need to wait for the previous workstation upgrade to complete before upgrading the next.

Why is it costing me LPs to build a workstation?

This is because you do not have enough resources to build or upgrade the workstation yet, just help sims and collect the resources to be able to build without it costing you LPs

Can I buy another one of each workstation?

No you cannot

How can I earn the resources I need quicker?

Watch this video:

Professions Menu

You can access this using the button in the top left hand corner of your screen when you are at the profession workplace

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 coins, the coins are used to increase your storage if you need to and trade for resources (which is in the next tab)

How do I increase my storage space?
Go to the Storage tab and click on increase storage, this will cost you coins:

NOTE: if you don’t have enough coins this will cost you LPs, just collect more coins and you will be able to use the coins to upgrade your storage

What is the maximum storage space for each profession career?

Police is 5000, Filmmaker and Medical Staff are both 2600

What should I do if I run out of storage space?
You can sell any unwanted resources, go to the storage tab and click on the simoleon symbol next to a resource and select the amount you want to sell for simoleons:

Resource Exchange- here you can either spin for resources using simoleons or LPs for the mega spin as well as trade coins for resources

How does the resource spin work?
There are two resource spins:

Resource spin costing simoleons- available for everyone, click to spin and it will spin and then you can claim your resources

Mega spin costing LPs- only available for VIP level 2 players, works the same as the other spin but will give you more resources.

NOTE: You can only use both of these every 4 hours unless you pay 4LPs to spin again straight away
How does trading for resources work?
On the left you have the item you are trading and on the right you have the item you will receive for trading, click trade

Reaching Level 6- Specialising a Sim

Once you reach level 6 for the first time a new quest will begin (it isn’t really a quest and yes you can do it at the same time as other quests) It shows you how to select the specialist for your sim and how to get promoted

Professions: Specialisation Training

Assign a specialist to a level 6 sim- click on the occupations (career) tab, find the level 6 sim and choose one of the two options for that career:

NOTE: you can only have one sim on each of these options

Fulfil a profession badge- check the occupations tab to find out what you need to do to complete this, I had help 3 sims, to complete this I needed to help 3 sims that came to the workplace by completing all of the tasks

Each sim can only earn one badge per shift and you need all badges before you will be able to level up in that career

If you don’t manage to complete a badge in a shift the progress for that badge will reset and you will have 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.

Build a workstation at a profession workplace- if you do not have the right amount of resources it will say it costs LPs to build- just help sims to gain resources and it won’t cost you LPs

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

Reaching Level 10

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!

Left- metro police outfits Right- special agent outfits

Left- director outfits Right- actor outfits

Left- doctor outfits Right- nurse outfits

Find them in the wardrobe under outfits once you reach level 10

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 profession workplaces?

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 need to be VIP

How do I cancel a work shift?

Click on the red cross on the sims need bar and select cancel shift

My sims are ageing to seniors before they have reached the highest level, what can I do?

I have given my sims who I want to specialise in each of the profession careers a platinum orb (read this post if you are unsure how to do that)

You could reverse their ageing (again read the post linked above) when they come to the end of their time as an adult but this is going to cost you a lot of LPs! It may be worth doing this while you are working on getting a platinum orb so you don’t have to start from level 1 with another sim and have to go through the ageing all over again!

How do you level up quicker?

The only way to level up quicker is to go to work each day and help the amount of sims needed to fulfil your work quota each day but you need to remember that each time you level up it will take you longer to reach the next level

If you are trying to complete the movie star career quicker you can use the movie camera from the promotions r store to level them up quicker

TIP: the higher level a workstation is the more career experience points you will to level up quicker

Who is this sim (pictured below) who appears?

He is the courier for the simtown market event, he will appear at the profession workplace where the event is taking place. If you complete all the tasks he has before the time above the bubble is up you will earn a market token needed to ship some orders (other orders need workplace resources to ship) You need to ship orders to fill up the bar and earn prizes:

What is the simtown market?

Give this post a read for more information on the simtown market and events!

Remember:

You can only send two sims to work to help sims, all other sims will be working ‘offsite’ so they will still go to work but you will not see them, like normal careers (even when your level increases you can still only have two there)
Only one sim can use a workstation at a time
Important sims are the ones with question marks in the bubbles above their heads
If you send a sim to work without going with them they will still level up but just slower than if they help sims and they will not earn any resources
You can only upgrade one workstation at a time unless you are VIP 7
Each workstation can be upgraded 20 times
It will cost you LPs to build a workstation if you do not have enough resources, help more sims to collect the resources to build the workstation without LPs
You can only have one sim in each specialism
Only the sim in that specialism can use the workstations, for example only the Performer can complete the Film Set actions
If you are VIP you get some perks but you don’t need to be VIP!
There is no time limit on completing a profession career and workplace, you can take as long as you like!
