The Sims Freeplay- Guide to Life Dreams and Orbs

November 20, 2014January 15, 2019 weightlessmagic101 Comments

A lot of people find the life dreams concept confusing to understand, this guide will give you step by step instructions on how to give your sim a personality, completing life dreams, collecting, passing on or using orbs.

For Frequently Asked Questions about Life Dreams please read this post

1. Giving your sim a personality

When creating or adding a sim the first tab is the personality tab

If you didn’t give a sim a personality when creating them you can click on the wardrobe and select browse clothes to find the personality tab

You can choose from:

Sporty (click here to see the life dreams)
Geeky (click here to see the life dreams)
Entertainer (click here to see the life dreams)
Animal Fanatic (click here to see the life dreams)

Changing personality

Remember if you change personalities all progress towards the life dream will be lost

The symbol circled in the image below is what to click on to change a sims personality (in the life dreams tab)

2.Choosing a life dream

Go to life dreams tab and click choose a life dream and the list of 3 life dreams to choose from will appear

The screen will appear straight away once a sim has aged for you to select a life dream, either select one and click OK or if you click NOT NOW, then you can go to the life dreams tab, and select choose a life dream to choose from a new list of 3 dreams.

When selecting a life dream go for the ones that are most suitable for you, don’t pick ‘I want to do horse tricks’ for 3 hours if you can’t get on the game every 3 hours. If you don’t know how long a life dream takes you can usually select the object that you will need to use and it will give you a time so ‘I want to observe fish’ click on a fish tank and you will see the longest option is 5 hours. (do this before you select it as a life dream incase it isn’t long enough!)

3. Do what the life dream tells you to do

Most are very obvious, if your sim wants to watch animals on TV, select a TV option (I usually pick the longest option so in this case it would be movie marathon, this gets the dream done quickly)

A life dreams symbol appears on the action once you have selected it as your life dream. So you know which ones will increase the life dream!

4. Age your sim

Once the life dream for that stage has been completed you can age your sim early

You can advance age early in three ways, either click yes when the pop up below appears:

Or if you select no you can advance age from the life dreams menu

Wait until the timer for that stage is up:

The green circle around your sim is the timer, once it gets to red that stage is almost up!

5. Repeat steps 2-4 for further life stages

Once your senior has completed their life dream it will say fufilled life dream in the menu.

NOTE: You cannot give their orb to another sim until that senior passes on and leaves it behind.

Now your seniors can plant and enjoy the rest of their life or you can end their life early too.
Go to the age controller tab and click on the symbol circled in the image below:

Then click advance, it is free if they completed their life dreams!

Which will turn their timer red

Once their timer is up an exclamation mark will appear above their head, click on it, select yes when the pop up below appears:

Then the grim reaper will come and end their life, leaving the orb in their place.

6. Pick up the orb

The way I do it is by going to buy mode and clicking on it and storing it in my inventory

Now it is in there you can use it to:

7. Give orb to a new sim or keep to build places

Giving to another sim

In step 1 where you give your sim a personality you will now be able to see an orb is available (if the first sim had a sporty personality this next sim needs a sporty personality too) click on the personality and there you can select the stored orb if you want to (if not select no orb)

Your first sim will get a bronze orb, giving it to another sim now gives that second sim the chance to get it up to a silver, then a third sim can get it to a gold and a fourth sim to a platinum.

Bronze to Silver

Silver to Gold

Gold to Platinum

Keep it to build a place

But if you don’t want to give it to another sim and instead want to use it to build a place then just keep it in your inventory until you need it

Geeky orbs= Arcade

1 Bronze Geeky orb, 1 Silver Geeky orb

Sporty orbs= Beach

2 Bronze Sporty orbs, 2 Silver Sporty orbs

Entertainer orbs= Carnival

5 Bronze Entertainer orbs, 2 Silver Entertainer orbs

Animal Fanatic orbs= Pet Park

2 Bronze Animal Fanatic orbs, 4 Silver Animal Fanatic Orbs

If you want to build the arcade and your first sim got you a bronze geeky orb you will need to give that orb to another sim who can then get the orb to a silver, then you can get a third sim to get a bronze geeky orb and the arcade can then be built!

Once you have built the place there are things in them to build to, using the same orbs:

If you wanted to build the pet park I would have 6 sims all at once working towards a bronze orb, once 4 of them have completed their life dreams they can then be passed onto 4 new sims to get them to a silver. The 2 bronze ones can be stored until needed.

Wondering how many orbs you will need for each place? click here!

Pause a sim

You need a platinum orb to pause your sim at that life stage forever, this post explains how to do that

I hope this has made it a bit clearer!

The Sims Freeplay- Sim Sign and Teen Mansion

November 10, 2014February 20, 2023 weightlessmagic182 Comments

Once the Teen Idol Quest has been complete you unlock the sim sign (located next to the estate agency in the town) you need to get it to level 3 by finding the resources to upgrade it.

THERE IS NO TIME LIMIT FOR THIS

What resources do you need?

TV Show Cameos
Radio Interviews
Magazine Photoshoots

How many of each piece do you need for each level?

Level 0= 5 of each
Level 1= 10 of each
Level 2= 15 of each

How do you find the pieces?
Each time you find all 3 notes for the drum kit, guitar and microphone you get a piece of each
Drumkit Notes= 1 TV Show Cameo
Guitar Notes= 1 Radio Interview
Microphone Notes= 1 Magazine Photoshoot

Make sure you restart the collection once you have found them all to find them again!

You can also get them randomly when you do actions but be prepared to spend LP or it will take you a long time to complete the sim sign without them to speed things up!

How many LPs will it cost if you decide to speed up?

Level 0= 42 LP
Level 1= 90 LP
Level 2= 135 LP

Total= 267 LPs

My teens are ready to age but they haven’t completed the sign, what do I do?

Just start a new teen on this hobby and keep going to complete the sign. You can have up to 5 sims complete the hobby at the same time once it has been completed for the first time.

Once the sim sign is at level 3 it will be lit up, as shown below:

And then you can build the teen mansion on a premium residence, the first one free! After that they cost simoleons, the price varies depending on how many other houses you have but it is cheaper to build the teen mansion, than to buy an empty plot to build on (as you are paying for each floor)

What does the teen mansion look like?

THE FIRST TEEN MANSION IS FREE

If you didn’t unlock the volleyball net on the Its All Going Swimmingly Quest then don’t worry you get one in this house!

Personally I really like this house, I think it is well worth all those LPs I spent trying to complete the sign!

NOTE: teens cannot live in this house on their own even if they are the teen idol unless an adult lives there and they ask the teen to move in then you can move the adult out.

Anyone can live in this house, they don’t have to be the teen idol. It is just a normal house.

Want teens to live alone in this house? Watch this video to find out how to do that:

The Sims Freeplay- Hobbies: Broomstick Flying

November 5, 2014October 8, 2020 weightlessmagic101 Comments

BOOK OF SPELLS QUEST – BROOMSTICK CLOSET – TEEN AND ADULT SIMS – PRIZE: WIZARDLY HOME BUILDERS KIT AND 5LP

TIME LIMITED HOBBY – TIME: 7 DAYS – TIME LIMITED PRIZE: CLEANING MOP

GLITCH: The issue with the Broomstick Closet has now been fixed

Once you complete the Spell Casting Hobby you will be able to complete this hobby using your teen or adult sims, to begin this hobby you need to buy the magic broomstick closet from the promotions r us store or the sorcerou s suppli es store for S10,000 and place it in one of your sims houses:

I cannot place the broomstick closet, it says its locked/ limited item, what do I do? You will have this problem if you try and place it from the new items tab, look in your inventory instead to be able to place the broomstick closet in one of your sims houses.

The 7 day time limit will begin as soon as you complete the spell casting hobby, if you complete the broomstick flying hobby in the time limit you will unlock the fantasian cleaning mop:

Your teen or adult sim needs to click on the broomstick closet and select one of the options:

Quick broomstick flight- 4 hours 30 minutes
Long broomstick flight- 12 hours 30 minutes

NOTE: the first time you complete this hobby you can only buy one closet so only one sim can complete this hobby but you can send another sim to a neighbours town to complete this hobby (if they have a broomstick closet) after the first time as many sims as you want can complete this hobby as you can buy as many closets as you want

After the time has passed come back and click the exclamation mark above your sims head to find one of the broomstick flying collectibles. Every time your sims complete one of the options above their broomstick flying hobby skill level up percentage will increase, once they reach 100% they will level up, there are 6 levels. You need to reach level 6 to be able to unlock all of the broomstick flying collectibles, once unlocked you will be able to find them.

The table below shows the level up percentage for each option:

This may change in future updates

LEVEL	4 hour 30 minutes	12 hours 30 minutes
1-2	49%	138%
2-3	24%	69%
3-4	23%	64%
4-5	19%	55%
5-6	16%	46%

NOTE: it says 138% but you will start from 0% at level 2

The next table shows you for each level what broomstick flying collectibles you unlock (so you can then find those ones too) and also the level up reward that a second and future sims will receive when they level up in this hobby:

LEVEL	TITLE	1st TIME LEVEL UP UNLOCKS	2nd+ TIMES LEVEL UP REWARD
1	Street Sweeper	Ruby Dashing Spiral and Jade Dashing Spiral are unlocked in the hobby collection	–
2	Nose Diver	Sapphire Dashing Spiral and Ruby SuperSim are now unlocked in the hobby collection	250XP
3	Low Rider	Jade SuperSim and Sapphire SuperSim are now unlocked in the hobby collection	500XP
4	Speed Needer	Ruby Loop and Jade Loop are now unlocked in the hobby collection	S750
5	High Flyer	Sapphire Loop and Ruby Corkscrew are now unlocked in the hobby collection	10,000 Town Value
6	Broom Master	Jade Corkscrew and Sapphire Corkscrew are now unlocked in the hobby collection. You can now complete the collection!	1LP

NOTE: only the first sim completing this hobby needs to get to level 6 to unlock all the collectibles, future sims will be able to find any collectible even if they are only on level 1 in this hobby (and they can do the shortest option to try and find the collectibles quicker!)

You won’t find a new collectible each time, you will get repeats, if this happens just keep going, you will find them eventually! If it is still taking too long you can use the lucky spin on the row where you cannot find the item, this will cost LPs, when you click on the LP button it will clear the row and give you a random collectible on that row so you aren’t guaranteed a new item (you will get back any other collectibles you already had in that row) Need to earn some LPs to use the lucky spin?

The completed broomstick flying collection is shown below, once you complete the collection you need to click ‘start a new collection/restart breakdancing trophies’ at the top of the hobby collection screen, this clears the board so you can complete the collection again to earn more rewards (you will only get the option to restart the hobby collection when you have completed the collection):

You will earn XPs when you complete a row in the hobby but to complete the collection you need to find all 12 of the collectibles

If you complete this hobby in the time limit you will unlock the Fantasian Cleaning Mop, I personally gave up trying to complete this hobby in the time limit, after getting the same item 5 times in a row, the mop costs S888,888 from the sorcerous supplies store- it wanders around sweeping, although it does also clean up pee and vomit.

The rewards for completing this collection are the wizardly home builders kit and 5 LP:

The first time you complete this hobby collection you unlock the wizardly home builders kit (even if you don’t manage to complete in the time limit) which includes wizard themed exterior walls, wallpaper, flooring, window and door:

Aged floorboards- floors tab of house section
Old stone wall- walls tab of house section
Magic wall- exterior tab of house section
Window (stone)- windows tab of house section
Runic door- doors tab of house section
Secret door- doors tab of house section

From the second time onwards each time you complete the collection you will earn 5LP

The Sims Freeplay- Pirate Ship Trading and Ancient Goddess Monument

October 8, 2014January 15, 2019 weightlessmagic87 Comments

Once you have completed The Pirate and His Goddess Quest you will have unlocked the pirate ship, the pirate ship is used for trading to be able to build the ancient goddess monument.

Click on the pirate ship to see the trade being offered.

What do you pay?

You trade materials that you use to build the other monuments, such as wind, as well as LPs, SPs and simoleons!

What do you receive?

You will receive a piece needed to upgrade the ancient goddess monument

After you have traded you cannot trade again for 24 hours unless you use the message in the bottle which will call the pirate back straight away with another trade, but this will cost you LPs.

Continue trading to level up the monument

How many levels are there to fully upgrade the monument?

There are 25 levels

Why does it need to be built?

Once fully upgraded to level 25 you will earn bonus hobby skills points after any hobby interaction! Which means your sims will level up in hobbies faster

Also once built you will earn a 1LP reward twice a week:

Saturday between 8pm and 12am
Wednesday between 9am and 1pm

click on the monument to collect your rewards during these times

My opinion?

I am a little disappointed in the pirate ship, I thought it was going to be a public area that could be explored but instead its just for another boring monument! But the bonus hobby skill points and free LPs you earn once you completely build the monument are worth the time taken to build it!

Why does the pirate ship remain once you have finished building the ancient goddess monument?

The ship stays because once you earn the gems the pirate will trade resources for a treasure chest which ‘gives you the chance to earn useful items such as furniture or rare artefacts’

Polina said ‘I managed to open a few treasure chests after the goddess was complete, and it’s just furniture from the store, mostly neo tokyo. Sometimes, it gives you 1LP’

If anyone else has traded for a treasure chest I would love to know what you got in it!
