Teacher is one of 8 careers your adult sims can have (not including profession careers) and this post explains all you need to know about this career.
How do I start this career?
You firstly need to build the elementary school which is one of the goals in the Preparing for Preteens Quest. Then you will be able to select teacher from the list of careers.
Once your sim is a teacher you can click on the pulsing suitcase on the simtracker to send them to work once a day. During this time you won’t see them at work and you cannot go to the school, on the simtracker it will just say they are at work, once the time is up they will arrive back at home and be rewarded with the simoleons and XP they earned for that shift. The more they work, the higher level they will reach in that career and the more money they will earn.
You can then send your sims to work again at/after 12am as it is the start of a new day.
You can send your sims to work anytime of the day for 7 hours for levels 1-3 and 5 hours for levels 4 and 5, once they finish their shift you will receive the simoleons and XP they have earned. When they reach a new level in that career a pop up will appear to show you how much they will earn for the next shift.
What are the levels and how much money and XP do you earn for a day at work?

How do I find out what level my sim is on?
You can see this information in the occupations (career) tab. This tab is where you give your sims careers to begin with. Here you can see your sims career and the level they are on and if you click on the symbol of the career you will be able to see how much your sims earn and you can quit jobs from here too.
Yes you can buy the teachers blackboard from the promotions r us store or hobby and career items tab of the home store. It costs S1,900 and once placed in your sims house you can practice teaching for 3 hours. During this time your career bar will increase like it does when they go to work (but slower)
LEVEL UNLOCKS: 16 UNLOCKS: weather machine + snow park TIME LIMIT: 2 days PRIZE: snow outfits
YOU NEED TO COMPLETE THE SOUS JUDGEMENTAL QUEST BEFORE YOU CAN BEGIN THIS QUEST
Completing this quest unlocks the snow park and the ability to change the weather in your sims town! If you complete in the time limit you will unlock snow outfits for all your sims. You can still complete this quest to unlock the snow park and weather machine once the time is up but you won’t get the snow outfits
You can now build the Snow Park and begin the Figure Skating Hobbyyou also unlock the weather machine, keep reading for how to use it!
NOTE: the Snow Park is needed for the Seniors quest so build it before then
Using the Weather Machine- firstly the weather machine can be found in the electronics section for S70,000, you can have one per household
Once placed at a house you can:
Make it day all the time, or night all the time regardless of the time of day
You can make the weather random
You can make it rain (so you can use umbrellas!) (your sims can also get struck by lightning which makes them inspired!)
You can make it snow (so you can freeze pools and complete the ice skating hobby on them)
To get the weather back to normal you can resume day/night cycle or select blue skies
Time Limited Prize: Snow outfits
Is the prize worth it? Yes I think so, the snow outfits are free and they include snowboard suits and other items like woolly hats and earmuffs! Perfect to wear at the snow park!
Where can I find them? Outfits, hats and earmuffs (hair section) are in the wardrobe.
I have missed this quest! Why can’t I start it yet?
You cannot miss main quests they have to be completed in order. You need to complete all previous quests (list can be found here) and reach level 16 before you can start this quest
Can I complete this quest even though I have passed level 16?
Yes, you just need to complete all previous quests then this quest will start automatically
How do I become friends with the alien?
Be nice to Osiris until your sim becomes friends with him, do this again to become best friends when you get that goal
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 have spent S16,000 on items but the goal will not complete, why?
Make sure you are just buying items from the electronics section of buy mode
How do I negotiate with a sim eating plant?
You need to grow lettuce until it turns into a sim eating plant then when it has you will be able to negotiate with it
How do I get my sims to woohoo?
You need two sims who are partners to be able to get this interaction
I already have a world globe, do I have to buy another one?
Yes you do or you cannot complete this quest
I don’t have a stereo, where can I find one?
You can buy one from the electronics section
What do I get if I complete this quest in the time limit?
Snow outfits
What happens if I don’t complete in the time limit, can I still finish this quest?
Yes you have to finish it to unlock the snow park and weather machine before you can move onto the next quest
I didn’t complete in the time limit, can I restart the quest?
No, you cannot redo quests
Can I still get the prize if I don’t complete in the time limit?
No, the only way to get the limited time prizes is by completing the quest 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
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

Yes you can buy two guitars from the promotions r us store or hobby and career items tab of the home store. One is free, the other costs S4,320 and once placed in your sims house you can practice guitar for 3 hours. During this time your career bar will increase like it does when they go to work (but slower)

Did you know?You can make 6 paintings using the easel. Once your sim has finished painting click on the easel and select place painting in inventory, you can then find it in the decorations section of your inventory and then place it on your sims walls. Paintings can also be sold for S10:
This is a list of things that Sims Freeplay players would like to see in future updates, if you would like to add something to this list please read it first before posting the same suggestions then leave a comment below!
Opening game
Stop the bombardment of pop ups when you open the game:
Stop saying when bingo and competitions are on, they are always on
List everyone who has to go to work or has finished work together so we don’t have to click on several different pop ups
Sims
More outfits/ clothes/ shoes:
-“because it seems like everytime I get more outfits from completing a quest in the time limit or something it’s just outfits that they deleted from the game in the past”
-Bring back some of the clothes you took away from adults but gave to teens
More hairstyles:
-‘better hair styles like longer hairstyles and Katniss hair.’ Not just by completing the quest!
Be able to have more than 4 sims living in one house.
Be able to have more than 10 sims in one place
Maybe make sims be attracted to other people like when they see someone they like they have a heart bubble over their head
Different sizes and body shapes
Different heights
Pregnancy DONE!– maybe even with twins?
Different range of face shapesDONE!
More personalities
Sim limits should be per level as you get higher up the game
Higher Sim limitDONE!
Ability for Sims to talk with others while sitting down
Eating with forks, not hands! DONE!
To be able to create a family, more than one sim at once (like other sim games)
Changing last names of sims only when married not when roommates
Woohoo on the bed DONE!
‘The main think I’d like to see is the sims inspired meters go down while doing certain actions that would qualify. Like when gardening, you would want to clean yourself or relaxing in a pool or long periods of time makes your sim want to have more fun, so that meter would go down.’
Interact the way they should ‘Like if two sims are married they should randomly kiss or when their both sleeping in one bed, they should snuggle or something’
Sims should change into PJs when they get into bedDONE!
Sleep underneath the sheets DONE!
Add ability to meet all needs in less than a minute in each of the community lots so you don’t have to send them home to inspire them. For example, it should be simple to add “wash hands” as an option to public restrooms and “eat snack” to the vending machines without having to add additional items.
It would be nice to have some tasks that take longer than 1 minute when doing relationship building. Maybe something like “have heart to heart talk” that takes 5 or 10 minutes.
Your sims should have the option to woohoo FOR BABY then the woman would get pregnant as a result of that(or it could sometimes be unsuccessful to make game more interesting, like the sims 3)
More things for teenagers and preteens to do:
Teenagers and preteens should be able to babysit (so adults can go to work)
Teenagers should be able to have jobs, maybe at the supermarket
More things for preteens to do. Toys for them to play with, etc. Why does the spaceship just sit there, why can’t my preteen play with it? Why can’t they play with some of the toddler toys the way they can use the swimming pool?
Preteens/ teens work at a hourse riding studio
Let more than one sim play the teen idol instruments. DONE!
Stop preteens skipping.
There should be the ability for a preteen to be able to carry her/his sibling(etc, a baby or toddler) under supervision of an adult
Preteens should be able to be romantic to teens and other preteens!
Be able to play video games on TV
Toddlers:
Letting the toddlers play together with toys, at the sandpit in the community centre.
More things for toddlers to doDONE!
Babies
High chairs, walkers, to get them out of their cribs DONE!
Able to pick up babies/ carry holder DONE!
Babies crawling. DONE!
Pets
Pets should be less money and more variety, also should be more active, could also have a life bar do you can see what they need.
Be able to walk dogs
More pets:
-exotic pets like lizards and snakes that you can actually interact with. It should be a hobby
-more breeds of existing ( how about equestrian ?) Houses
More furnitureDONE!
Bunk beds!DONE!
Making your house a 2/3 storey should not be so expensiveDONE!
building pools also should not be so expensive. DONE!
More decoration/clutter items
More building lots
Balconies!DONE!
Inside Swimming Pools
Gazebos
PatiosDONE!
Gates for around front of houses
Tree houses
I wish we could save our customized houses as a template, like if we want to make the same house on another land plot we could click the button to make a new house and the saved house would be there. Or that we could move a currently built house to another empty land plot (a bigger one for example).
Money
More ways to earn money because just planting and baking seem… unrealistic. Part time jobs? In real life, we usually do part-time jobs such as working at a library/restaurant/salon… or babysitting, writing novel…
Timings to be more realistic, not take so long to do things forcing you to use LP’s.
The building times and prices go up far too steeply between levels, change this as I feel it would keep people more interested in the game.
Easier ways to earn money
Actions
I want to be able to queue actions. By that I mean some things have to be done at certain times. Mainly sims job start times. That conflict with real life schedules. I want to be able to tell it to send my sim to work at that time when I am able to play the night before or what not. But this can also be a do this now and then this after. Like how the PC game we could queue 5 or 6 tasks. That would be beneficial for short tasks such as needs maintenance.
Minigames ‘For example for the store we could bag groceries or for school do simple math problems like two plus two or five minus three. For the club we could mix drinks. For the stadium we could play a game of soccer or something. Just to name a few. These could be optional like a window would pop if u wanted to play or not. Or a seperate bubble for the minigames. The prizes could be mostly money but occasionally lifepoints.’
I’d like to see that when you different actions with the same appliance that it looks different. For example when it you select the microwave to do pot noodles the sim sits and eats what looks like a hamburger! Exactly the same as if you select microwave hot snack! shouldn’t be like this!!
More realistic book reading times
Able to have a party and decorate house
Able to keep a photo album in the game (like in deluxe sims)
Quests
Houses or items as goals to work towards when doing weekly quests/tasks DONE!
During the tutorial stage of the game there are some aspects of the game that go untouched after it is over. I can’t quite put my finger on what is missing other than inter-sim relationship building.
When you get a goal that says something like ‘go fishing at the park’ you should be able to click on the goal and go straight to the park (will be helpful for those of us whose game crashes on the town map)
New quests:
Driving instructor
Hobby tasks, this should be like social tasks line no time limit to finish a variety of tasks associated with hobbies and mixed up such that it doesn’t feel too repetitive.
Hotel quest
Levels
More levels
XPs
I wish you could see how many xp before leveling up. Like 500 earned out of 1,000 needed.DONE!
Careers
To be able to send your sims to work whenever you can- “There are jobs I really want my sims to take but they don´t fit my schedule :’(” DONE
More than one person being able to fish at one time (if several sims have this life dream its not possible for them all to do it)
More special content unlocked through hobbies (a way to add that extra customization). I do like getting LPs, obviously, but maybe if it alternated every collection, one earns LPs then the next gets a new set of furniture or clothes.
More than one hobby for each sim
More hobbies:
-Horse riding studio for preteens to work
–horseback riding as hobby DONE!
-Exotic pets hobby
–Surfing hobbyDONE!
-Swimming hobby Gardening and Baking
Make the later-unlocked veggies and baked goods make sense. It’s been a while since I unlocked anything that’s actually a better deal than the ones I already had.
Stop the sit and wait mode, e.g. do some short stuff for 5 minutes give or take then this big long wait for 24hr give or take. And with all those other sims left there is basically just farming to do. Which makes me feel like there is no more to the game than that. Seeing as this is a quest/goal oriented game perhaps the solution to this area is more simultaneous quests/goals (without more simultaneous time limits). I’m in a farming cycle or get to next long task and put all my sims to work farming until that long task is done. So that I’m only popping in game for 1 minute give or take to set sims on 2-9 hours at a time farming until long task is complete. Rinse an repeat.
cakes less expensive to bake.
Plants should constantly regrow- like in real life so you can go away for a few days, even weeks, it would be fine cos you’d always have something growing so it will always be ready to harvest.
Buildings
No dead zone buildings like schools work etc. all buildings can be visited.
The supermarket should be given the ability to give you the items straight away, instead of waiting for instance 1 day for a birthday cake, this would help with tasks and growing up.
I think that it would be great if Fire Monkey and EA added colleges so that adults/ teens can work on their careers/hobbies. Their could be three different colleges: 1 star (costs less money but the sims get a better education,) 2 star (costs more money than 1 star and a better education,) 3 star (most expensive but best education.) The better the education, higher tour skill level goes up each time you go to college. You could go to college for your personality (I haven’t done the quest that unlocks the orbs yet so I am not to familiar with how that works) or for your hobby or even where you work. At some work places, you should be required to have a college education.
New places:
–A horse stableDONE!
-A zoo (where you can work and pay to visit!! That could be a whole task in itself to put on the island!)
–Have a restaurant as we have a nightclub but no other social establishments. DONE!
-A nursery for toddlers to go to like school they earn the town money
-Icons on town map for player generated public spaces, a museum?
-Church and decorations to buy for houses, e.g. crosses
-The survey they did mentioned a Harry Potter-like area with magical careers and hobbies. I’m all for that!
-An airport New worlds: Maybe magic, alien, or supernatural? (like in other sim games!) Social Points and Neighbours
Get rid of social points or make them easier to earn
Message board when you visit a neighbour
More than one sim being able to visit another neighbourhood
The ability for sims to go on holiday to another sims world and for the other person to be able to interact with you
Stop all sims looking depressed when you visit another town, there is no point to this
The GIVEN neighborhood, Another Sim Town ought to be set up with most if not all things in case a person playing doesn’t know others or didn’t want to connect with facebook or game center or not want to add strangers
Be able to connect via twitter or just online (for those who don’t play on an apple product facebook is their only option- some people don’t have facebook or any friends who play)
Life Points
Free LPs for every achievement unlocked
More activities to generate LPs
Earn LP for babysitting
Easier to earn LPs
Fixes to life dreams and legacies update:
Stop automatic ageing- “I want to be able to decide myself when my sims should age/die.”DONE! (can reverse their age for free)
Longer ageing time
Faster ways to complete the life dreams and upgrade life orbs because it takes forever
Stop the grim reaper from following our sims around, why can’t he just appear at the end? DONE!
Option to stop a sim’s aging indefinitely for a reasonable # of LPs (5 or 10? Even 20 would be ok, just not an orb that requires killing off several sims to get.)
Make life dreams easier to achieve (go up by more than 0.something%)DONE!
Make life dreams all with exact options (for example, don’t just say ‘go snowboarding’ but instead do ‘tricks til tomorrow’)
Make age stages longer so we are able to get further in jobs and hobbies
We need a graveyard or urn when a sim dies, they can’t just leave nothing behind.
Have life dreams achieved by doing variety of things, e.g all sporty actions should increase the life dreams %
Adult sims should be able to get higher than a silver orb, don’t say they have completed their life dream- what about trying to get a gold or platinum? If they have time to do it, why not let them!?
family tree- remember the departed
Go up in years maybe, not stages of life?
Store
Specials, half price sales on simoleon/LP packs.
Fix bugs with store
Thank you to everyone who has contributed to this post! There are some really great ideas here and the makers have already listened to a lot of them!
