You don’t have to complete at the snow park but you need to build the snow park to unlock this event
You can use a swimming pool and a weather machine at a house set to snow, this then makes it possible to skate on the pool. This way you can also use as many sims as you can fit on the pool
If you do have the snow park then 4 sims can skate on the dark circles on the hockey rink
You can also send another sim to a neighbours town if you have no more space to figure skate in your town
To complete the whole collection you need one sim to get to level 6 in the figure skating hobby, I have noticed they do level up fairly quickly but if you want them to level up even faster you may need to use some LPs as speeding up the action will still level them up, this post explains a good way to make LPs fast.
Are the prizes worth it? Yes! Complete the hobby just once to unlock the basketball hoop, ping pong table and putting greens

Once you complete the Peaceful Patios Quest you can build patios in your gardens, this post explains how to add a patio and all the ways you can customise it!
NOTE: you will not be able to customise a patio until the quest has been completed
1.Building a patio
You do this the same way you build a room or a pool, by touching and dragging anywhere on the grass, it will be green if it can be placed there
Drag the white highlighted edged to resize
You can join patios together, the patio in the picture below is a 4×4 square with two 1×7 patios each side
What is the cheapest patio?A 2×1 will cost S30,000
2.Patio Paving
The second tab in the outdoor section is where you can select the type of tiles you want on your patio, click on the style then click on the patio
3.Railings
Railings are the third tab along, again click on the style then onto the patio and it will place them around the edge
4.Patio Gates
Last patio tab is gates, you can only add a gate to a patio with a railing, like a door you can place wherever you want to on the railings
Deleting a Patio
While on the patio tab click on the patio you wish to delete and select the red simoleon symbol to sell it.
Now you know how, its time to create beautiful patio gardens! Enjoy!
For more details you can watch my video, Building Patios, Balconies and Basements:

You cannot complete this quest at the same time as any other discovery quest
Hang out with a sim- 1 day (select interaction with another sim)
Call Bree- 4 minutes (phone)
Build a patio (go to the home store and open the patio tab): To build a patio surface, touch and drag on the grass like building a room, green means you can build, red means that there is something in the way, you can also resize a patio by dragging the white highlighted edges. And like building a pool you can join patios together.
Have 3 sims at DIY home
Have 3 sims party with Bree- 8 hours 30 minutes (outdoor stereo)
Talk to Bree- 5 minutes
Have all sims leave DIY home (use the simtracker to send them home)
QUEST IS COMPLETE!
You can now add patios to your houses! Check out my Adding Patios post explaining how to add and customise your patios!
Cost? First one is free after that they cost S7,500 each
Where can it be found? It can be found in the living room section, teens can snuggle (one sim chills out- 8 minutes and the other selects snuggle- 16 minutes) adults can make out (one sim waits for make out partner- 8 minutes and the other selects make out- 16 minutes)
Is it worth it? It’s nice that teens can now cuddle together but it’s a strange prize for this quest! It’s different but I wouldn’t worry too much if you don’t complete in the time limit
Even if you don’t complete the quest in the time limit you will still unlock these patio tables and chairs:
All of these items can be found in the outdoor furniture section and the chairs can also be found in the dining room section
How do I start this discovery quest?
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
I haven’t started this quest yet, will it still be available when I want to do it?
Yes it will be, you can choose to start it whenever you like
How do I call a cab to the DIY house?
Using a phone
What do you mean when you say a goal can be started early?
Any goal that you can normally do can be started early because you will have access to it and any goal that you can’t normally do you will have to wait until you get the goal to be able to complete it
The tip with this method is to put the sim doing that action early in a different house that you cannot go to until you get that goal or it will not work
I can’t complete the goal to buy outdoor decorations, why?
You need to buy from the outdoor decorations section only
How much does it cost to build a patio? The cheapest is S3,000 for 2×1
I had all sims leave the DIY home 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 make out couch

Can I still get the prize if I don’t complete 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
