The Sims Freeplay- Profession Careers: Filmmaker

weightlessmagic48 Comments

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):

I am not going to go into too much detail about how to complete Profession Careers here, if you are still unsure check out my Guide to Profession Careers for more information on how they work!

HOURS

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  MONEY XPs
1 Tea Maker S1,310 360
2 Set Cleaner S1,430 650
3 Runner S1,520 980
4 Extra S1,670 1,030
5 Assistant S1,860 1,140
6 Assistant S1,890 1,320

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:

 LEVEL  MONEY XPs WORKSTATION UNLOCKED
6 Production Assistant S1,890 1,320 Costume Department
7 Script Supervisor S1,920 1,500 Hair and Makeup Department
8 First Assistant Director S1,950 1,680 Stunt Set
9 Production Manager S1,980 1,860 Directors’s Trailer
10 Director S2,010 2,040 –

Once you unlock the workstation you have to use the resources to build it before you can help sims using these workstations, only the director will be able to complete tasks to help sims that require one of the workstations above. I will be going into detail about workstations later in this post.

Performer– when your sim specialises as the Performer they can continue to level up and unlock more workstations:

 LEVEL  MONEY XPs WORKSTATION UNLOCKED
6 Stand In Actor S1,890 1,320 Audition Room
7 Soap Actor S1,920 1,500 Voice Over Booth
8 B Movie Actor S1,950 1,680 Film Set
9 Lead Actor S1,980 1,860 A List Celebrity Trailer
10 A List Actor S2,010 2,040 –

Once you unlock the workstation you have to use the resources to build it before you can help sims using these workstations, only the performer will be able to complete tasks to help sims that require one of the workstations above. I will be going into detail about workstations later in this post.

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 

Badges needed:

Level  Director Performer
6 Help 3 Sims Help 3 Sims
6 Collect 5,000 coins Collect 5,000 coins
6 Help 2 Important Sims Help 2 Important Sims
7 Help 11 Sims Help 11 Sims
7 Collect 10 Award Statue Resources Collect 10 Ticket Stub Resources
7 Collect 6,000 coins Collect 6,000 coins
7 Help 2 Important Sims Help 2 Important Sims
8 Collect 20 3D Glasses Resources Collect 20 3D Glasses Resources
8 Collect 7,000 coins Collect 7,000 coins
8 Help 12 Sims Help 12 Sims
8 Help 2 Important Sims Help 2 Important Sims
8 Collect 3 Film Reel Resources Collect 3 Script Resources
9 Collect 8,000 coins Collect 8,000 coins
9 Help 7 Sims Help 7 Sims
9 Help 2 Important Sims Help 2 Important Sims
9 Collect 5 Film Reel Resources Collect 5 Script Resources
9 Collect 10,000 coins Collect 10,000 coins
9 Help 8 Sims Help 8 Sims

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

The Sims Freeplay- Profession Careers: Police

weightlessmagic102 Comments

Once you build the Police Station you can begin the Police Career:

This is a profession career so it is 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 police station. But you can go to work with your sim if you select send alone or accompany sim and then they can help sims and earn resources (only two sims can be at the police station at one time, all other sims with this career have to work offsite)

When you send a sim to work at the police station 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 police station 3 workstations will already be unlocked (Front Desk, Training Center and Surveillance Van) 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 has to be completed in a different workstation so file police report is at the front desk, receive motivation is in the training center and check police video is in the surveillance van

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 police coin bubble will appear above their head, click this and they will earn police 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 police coins and resources used to upgrade the different workstations at the police station):

I am not going to go into too much detail about how to complete Profession Careers here, if you are still unsure check out my Guide to Profession Careers for more information on how they work!

HOURS

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 25 sims (you need to complete all the tasks for a sim to have helped one sim) during their shift, then they will end their shift early and you earn extra police 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  MONEY XPs
1 Cadet S1,165 300
2 Deputy S1,260 480
3 Trooper S1,355 660
4 Corporal S1,450 840
5 Sergeant S1,545 1020
6 Sergeant S1,640 1200

Then only 2 sims, once they reach level 6 can choose to be either Metro Police or Special Agent, only one sim can be metro police and one sim can be special agent, all other sims will stay as level 6 sergeant.

Metro Police– when your sim specialises as Metro Police they can continue to level up and unlock more workstations:

 LEVEL  MONEY XPs WORKSTATION UNLOCKED
6 Patrol Sim S1,640 1,200 Squad Car
7 Lieutenant S1,735 1,380 Jail Cells
8 Captain S1,830 1,560 K-9 Unit
9 Division Chief S1,925 1,740 Chiefs Office
10 Police Commissioner S2,020 1,920 –

Once you unlock the workstation you have to use the resources to build it before you can help sims using these workstations, only the metro police will be able to complete tasks to help sims that require one of the workstations above. I will be going into detail about workstations later in this post.

Special Agent– when your sim specialises as a Special Agent they can continue to level up and unlock more workstations:

 LEVEL  MONEY XPs WORKSTATION UNLOCKED
6 Investigator S1,640 1,200 Interview Room
7 Detective S1,735 1,380 Sketch Room
8 Super Sleuth S1,830 1,560 Forensics Lab
9 Secret Agent S1,925 1,740 Division 51
10 Sim-In-Black S2,020 1,920 –

Once you unlock the workstation you have to use the resources to build it before you can help sims using these workstations, only the special agent will be able to complete tasks to help sims that require one of the workstations above. I will be going into detail about workstations later in this post.

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- metro police outfits Right- special agent 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 police station)

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 police coins, the police 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 police 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 XP 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 XP 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 XP 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 LP, when you have the right amount of resources you can build/ upgrade the workstation without LP (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 each of the tables.

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? So far there isn’t anything for the police career

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 15LP 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 police station?

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

Watch my step by step video of the quest here:

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS QUEST

please read before asking

How do I start this discovery quest?
Once you have completed the simtown express quest you can build downtown high 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 building downtown high you don’t have to do this quest at all but if you have already started building or started this quest 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 send my sim to downtown high?
Go to downtown high and click on the whistle next to a sim who isn’t busy on the simtracker, this post explains more about the simtracker

How do I call the principal?
Click on the sim with the plumbob above their head to get the option

For ‘photograph Vernon’ will it work with a horse or parrot?
No, you have to use a dog, cat or another pet brought from the pet store to complete this

What do I get if I complete this quest in the time limit?
You unlock the teacup pig

What does the pig do?
They don’t really do anything! They don’t find money like dogs or cats

Is there anything in the pet section for pigs?
No, there isn’t

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 class clown hobby 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 now that you have started it, if you don’t start building downtown high you don’t have to do this quest but once it is built the quest will begin

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

This quest unlocks the class clown hobby, does the time limit start straight away once I have completed this quest?
Yes, the time limit for the hobby starts straight away once this quest is complete, you can click no when the hobby pop up appears but this does not stop the timer going down

TEACHERS PET QUEST – CLASSROOM CLOCK – TEEN AND ADULT SIMS – PRIZES: SECOND FLOOR OF DOWNTOWN HIGH AND 2LP

TIME LIMITED HOBBY – TIME: 7 DAYS – TIME LIMITED PRIZE: CHEERLEADER OUTFITS

Once you complete the Teacher’s Pet Quest the time limit for this hobby will begin, if your adult or teenage sim completes this hobby in 7 days you will unlock the cheerleader outfits:


When you begin this hobby for the first time you only get one option on the clock as you have only unlocked one room so far:

English Clown- 3 hours 30 minutes

You will need to find all 3 different class clown actions in the English room to unlock the Home Economics room once unlocked you need to find the 3 class clown actions in that room to unlock the Computer Lab and find the 3 actions in that room to unlock the final room which is the science lab, once you have found all 3 of those class clown actions in the final room you will have completed the hobby.

  • English Clown- 3 hours 30 minutes
  • Home Ec Clown- 3 hours 30 minutes
  • Computer Lab Clown- 3 hours 30 minutes
  • Science Lab Clown- 3 hours 30 minutes

NOTE: once you complete the collection for the first time you can find the class clown actions in any order but you will still need to do each option to find the different actions to complete each row

TIP: you can only have one sim in each room so when you first complete this hobby you can only really use one sim, once you have unlocked all the rooms you can have up to 4 sims completing this hobby.

 OPTION  FIND TO UNLOCK:
ENGLISH CLOWN
  • Character Distr-actor
  • Aerial Disturbance
  • Studying Zs
 Water Burner, Inflammatory Selfie and Chef De Charcoal

IN HOME EC

  • Feline Video Lover
  • Cloud Surfer
 Gas Diffuser, Creative Innovator and Chemical Reactor

IN THE SCIENCE LAB
SCIENCE LAB
  • Gas Diffuser
  • Creative Innovator
  • Chemical Reactor
 You can now complete the collection!

After the time has passed come back and click the exclamation mark above your sims head to find one of the class clown collectibles in that row. You still level up in this hobby but the hobby level up percentage isn’t important as the class clown collectibles don’t unlock depending on your level, when you finish a row of class clown collectibles you will unlock the ability to find the clown actions in the next row.

The table below shows you the level up reward that your sims will receive when they level up in this hobby:

 LEVEL  TITLE 1st TIME LEVEL UP REWARD
1 Novice Agitator –
2 Junior Jester 250XP
3 Commensurate Comedian 500XP
4 Experienced Buffoon S750
5 Veteran Vaudevillian 10,000 Town Value
6 Elite Disruptor 1LP

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 class clown collection is shown below, once you complete the collection you need to click ‘start a new collection’ 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):

The first time you complete a row you will unlock a new classroom to find the new class clown actions, further times 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 cheerleader outfits which can be found in the wardrobe for adult and teen sims, you can also find the pom poms on the sports field:

The outfits for teens and adults are the same

The rewards for completing this collection are the second floor of downtown high and 2LP:

  • The first time you complete this collection you unlock the second floor of downtown high (even if you don’t manage to complete in the time limit) There are 3 rooms to build upstairs:
  1. Principal’s Office and Staffroom- takes 5 hours and costs S25,000
  2. Math Classroom- takes 3 hours and costs S20,000
  3. Social Science Classroom- takes 3 hours and costs S20,000


  • From the second time onwards each time you complete the collection you will earn 2LP
