Unicorn Quest

You get 6 days to complete this challenge and if you succeed you will be rewarded with a rocking unicorn for toddlers. 
First you need to go to the stables, then do two or three five minute tasks then inspect the inicorn's horn for 5 hours. Then talk to it for 5 hours (it may be a bit longer) then talk to a fellow Sim about the unicorn for 5 minutes and then inspect a tree by the lake then go home (or just use a Sim that already is home) and call a friend for 3 minutes. Now return to the stables and laugh off the unicorn with a fellow Sim for 5 minutes now you need to go to a computer and look up unicorns online for 12 hours. 

Need for Stead (conclusion)

Call the mysterious phone number back for 5 hours. 
You now need to build one of the stalls which takes 8 hours and cost $30,000. 
Then add a horse and show it affection (I forget exactly which one you need) for 30 minutes and there you go. 
If I left anything out please just let me know. 

Next up: Unicorns!

Need for Stead (part 5)

Once you have cleared the yard (your best bet is to get all your Sims involved because the longest task will take you 10 hours) you need to watch more horses on TV (3 hours) practice brushing another Sim for 15 minutes then encourage then for 30 minutes.

Need for Stead (part 4)

Once you build the Stables (which I cut short by 7 hours using LPs) you need to start fixing it up. 
First have one Sim go to the stable (by calling them) and have them remove a boulder in the front paddock for 3 hours (I waited to 1 hour, 58 minutes then used 1 LP). Now have 4 Sims help clean up the paddock. 
I went ahead and called as many Sims as there were clouds. Each task takes varrious amounts of time ranging from 30 seconds to 10 hours.

Need for Stead (part 3)

Need for Stead (part 2)

Once you spy horses you need to go and call the owner for 30 minutes then read about horses for 9 hours. 

Long Hair Fashion Quest

You need to continue designing outfits to complete each level of the quest. 

Note: to reset the collection you need to go on through the hobby's collection screen and at the very bottom will be the option to restart it. Just like any of the other hobbies. The only difference is that you have to go BACK in AFTER you've completed it, because it won't restart until it has rewarded you and told you to advance. Also, I was able to complete this in 3 days by having 10 Sims do it all in one location and doing the 10 minute option up to 6 times an hour. And I made sure they were doing it for 6 hours at night. The 12 hour option might look tempting but you lose time because it take twice as long and even if you're gone for 9 hours you'll have to wait three hours to continue or you can just have them not doing something for three hours, but be able to pick righ back up again when you get back. 

I also have all the amenities at hand to keep them Inspired. 

A nice little sweat shop going on. 

Need for Stead

This quest is timed you get one week and will be awarded a unicorn painting. 
First, you need to go for a drive then spy horses through a telescope (which takes 10 hours). 

Bread Winner

You will then need to prepare some Chinese toast. Buy a toaster (already owning one doesn't count here) prepare the toast, which takes 5 minutes, grab a plate, make some burgers, invite 4 sims over, call to meal, rest eyes on a couch and viola! You can now prepare foods and earn rewards with the new Bread Winner hobby. 
Next up: Need for Stead.

Bread Winner Quest

Next you'll need to buy a stove, if you haven't got one, then make bacon and eggs which take 5 minutes and cost $27. Then eat them (by selecting the plate) which takes 10 minutes. Then clean it up (13 seconds). Next you need to search a book case for recipes for 6 hours on a three star bookcase. 

NOTE: this is a hobby, which means that either you need to Cook with a Sim that hasn't started a hobby or you don't mind them forgetting their current hobby. 

Bread Winner

First you need to watch a Chef on TV for three hours. 

This quest is untimed and has no bonus reward at the end. 

Road to Fame Quest

Woohoo!!! I have finished the road to fame quest!!!!

Now on to the Bread Winner Quest

Long Hair Quest

Now you need to create all four outfits. 
I have 5 sims designing and I may very well add at least two more to the fashion hobby. 
There is no way to skip tasks unless you use LPs once the task is started. 

Long Hair Quest

I am doing the new long hair quest. 
You get 6 days 16 hours. 
First, be nice to a sim, watch TV for long haired sims, e-mail long haired sims, buy a fashion table, design fashion, create a complete outfit. 
If at all possible you need to get as many sims as possible doing the fashion design hobby so that you stand a chance of completing the challenge in time.

Back on the Road (to Fame) Again!!

Woohoo!! That's what the catch was: I was missing the Electric Guitire. 
The 10LPs one takes 2 hours to write a song on. So, now I just have to be patient. 
I'll keep you posted as I earn my notes. 

Thanks for hanging in there with me through this delima guys. 

Happy Simming!! 

Road to Fame Quest

I may have only just now figured out why I've been so stuck. 
There are two different guitars!!! And even though the Bass guitire will award you both sets of music notes the only way to advance to the microphone level is to write music on the Electric Guiitire!! 

So, I shall see what buying the electric guitire will yield. 

Keep checking back for updates

Teen Idol Quest

I cannot stress highly enough that you use LPs to finish the Teen Idol quest before it times out. I cannot move forwards and there are three pieces of music on the same level that are all rare. So, until I am able to write/find the rare music notes I am going to be plateaued here at the 'Write 12 Peices of Music' for quite some time. 
I wish that I could do the new Cooking and Resturant quests that they have come out with.

Hobbies

Hobbies can be a very beneficial pass time for you Sims. 
The most rewarding hobbies are the Skating and Swimming hobbies. 
Please note: I am still stuck at the teen idol quest level, meaning, I know nothing about the personality quests and hobbies. 
Anyway, these two hobbies seem to be the best because you can have four Sims doing the same thing at the same time.  Unlike the Fishing hobby where only one Sim can do it at a time. 
Once you have completed all the reward levels in the Wood Working hobby you gain acess to being able to buy wood working benches from the Promotions 'R' Us store and practice in the comfort of your own home. Which means that you can greatly increase the number of Sims practicing the same hobby at the same time, giving it a slight edge over the others. Another one is the Fashion Design hobby because all you have to do is buy the fashion studio and you can start working towards becoming a fashion god. And you can have as many Sims as you want each working at their own station. 
I have mastered the Swimming, Wood Working,  and Skating Honbies so far. 
The first one I completed first was the Swimming hobby and I know earn three LPs every-other day, on average. 
You can advance faster the longer you spend at you chosen hobby, but you have more chances of earning more rewards and XP if you do each one for 10 minutes or 1 hour. 
Hobbies will decrease various things in your Sims Inspiration Metre (as I call it) but most of the hobby locations have things like bathrooms and coffee machines. The most draining is the skating, but it offers everything. A 2 star refrigerator, 3 start coffee and tea makers, 3 star seating, unfortunately the toilet takes 30 seconds because it's public. 

I have been working on the Fishing hobby since the beginning and I still need three more fish (none of which are Rare, itoinically).
