Road to Fame/ Celebrity Teen Quest

You get 6 days and 23 hours to complete this Quest, if you succeed you will receive the premium Teen Drum set.

First, you need to buy the magazines (no, already owning them does not count) then you need to have a TEEN read a celebrity magazine.

I have already hit a snag here as I only have two toddlers, so I am having two adult Sims bake two Birthday Cakes simultaneously so that by tomorrow at this time I will have a teen. However, I know that lost time is really going to hurt. Plus, I work a lot coming up, which means that I'm going to lose time there as well... So, chances are I will not be getting the drum set...

Multi-Storey Renovations Quest (Part 1)

You will get 5 days and 23 hours.

First, you need to build the Community Center (in the upper left corner of the map) which will set you back $200,000 and 44 hours, send a Sim there once it is complete, talk to the bunny for 5 minutes, go upstairs by 'clicking' on the arrows option to the right of the screen (it will 'flash') then do some woodworking for 9 hours. My Sim made a Wooden Doll that it had to catch. And finally go back and talk to the bunny out front for 16.5 hours.

Alien Concept: Weather Machines (Part 4)

After you bake the Croissants you will then need to grow any mutant plant (I'm doing lettuce because they take the least amount of time).

An Alien Concept: Weather Machines Quest (part 2)

After spending the day star gazing at space ships you need to go home then zip back to the park to meet an alien. Be nice to it, then spend 12 hours on the soap box in the park warning that the End is Nigh.

To be continued...

It's All Going Swimmingly Quest (Part 4)

And the Saga continues...

Because of the error I finally just broke down and spent my last three LPs on the Slide task.

Next is easy, get two Sims in the pool and splash one another (once both are in the pool, select one and the option 'splash' should appear), then they need to chat in the pool (4 min) and go talk to the rabbit out front of the Swim Center for 10 minutes.
Lastly, they will need to spend 1 day talking to the rabbit.

This should bring you to 90%

As an aside, based on the way that this challenge has gone I'm going to guess that the Preteen Challenge that is coming up is going to be even harder.

I'm concluding that you will need to build the Elementary School and I'm thinking that is going to set you back some $200,000 or $250,000, so start saving now.

I was up to $90,000 this morning, then built a Beach House Mansion and moved a family in (which set me back some $58,000) 

It's [not] All Going Swimmingly (Part 3)

I am not going to be able to finish this Quest within the time limit.
DO NOT WASTE YOUR LPs on this Quest!!


You will now need to sit in the Lifeguard's chair (I forget how long - I think 12 hours), 
get all the medals in the level one Swimming Hobby (easy if you have 4 Sims all diving at the same time), then you need to stare at the water slide for some 16.5 hours, next, you need to Run Fake Errands for 22.5 hours! 
After all that you will need to pet a stray cat (it will have an exclamation point on it) for 3 hours and then spend 16 hours giving it directions.
This should get you to the 68% mark.
Now, you need to spend 3.5 hours using the water slide.

I keep receiving an error as I'm trying to use the water slide: 'One or more of your Sims were unable to continue their actions when the weather changed'.

I have gone from 31 to 2 LPs on this Challenge. I was hoping that maybe some of the tasks would be long and the rest short, this does not appear to be the case. Every task is long and you should just resign yourself to the fact that you will not finish this task within the time limit, if you did not have the money to build the Swim Center right off the bat.

A Glitch with the Toddler Quest

An error in my game  has occurred and I have no idea how to fix it and contacting EA has gotten me no where.

Two of my Sims were at work and another was getting advice from the statue, when all of a sudden I kept being redirected to the home screen. After the third time I turned off my iPod, hoping to reset everything back to normal. I forgot, however, to close the app (by pressing the Home Button twice) and I have had to restart the Statue task again and my two Sims were sent home early from work, but are still dressed for work.

If everything goes well, I should still be able to finish the Quest in time to get the reward.

If anyone else has had these problems and has been able to resolve them, or even just to know that I'm not alone; Please Let me Know!

Hopefully everything will get sorted sooner than later!

The Mysterious Island Quest (Part 1- first 80%)

Now that you have completed the Beach Front Homes quest (which I will come back to) it's time to get down to some serious infrastructure.
You get 3 days to complete this Challenge and the first 80% is very easy and quick (I'm under the impression all your time is going to be spent building the bridge, which I estimate to take 24 hours.)
You will need to get a tea pot ($500) a telephone (which you should already have from a previous Quest, I recommend the expensive one), a computer (which you should already have) (I use the $1,500 2 star model) and a World Globe ($10,000)- yep $10,000! You need to start saving now.
*You will watch the news (4 minutes) call the construction company (about 10 minutes) watch a special on T.V. (about 15 minutes) call the construction company back, mail a letter (4 seconds), call the construction company again (15-ish minutes), use the computer (about 8.5 minutes) then make some croissants (18 hours), which is as far as I have gotten today.

*I may have the order a little out of place, but overall the first 80% should take only about an hour.

Happy building!

Love is in the Air Quest

So, now its time to start getting your Sims hitched!

This is a challenge which means that it is timed. Complete the challenge in time to unlock a Wedding Bundle which means that you will be able to dress your female Sims like brides. Very elegant!
Every hour that you spend not completing the challenge is two LPs (Lifestyle Points- the yellow diamonds to the right of the Simoleons) you will have to use to make up lost time. And there's no quick way to earn LPs!
You only get about 2 1/2- 3 days to complete this quest.

You can use any of your Sims to complete any of these tasks, with the exception of reaching Relationship Milestones between the two Sims that you wish to be married in the end.

The very first thing is to have a Sim take a 'Rich Lather' shower, 15 minutes.

Now it's time to start building your Sims' relationships. 
Once you have a girl and guy Sim become 'Best Friends'(by selecting them and choosing an option that is green - your best bet is 'Be Nice', which takes 1 minute to do), the option 'Be Romantic' and 'Dance' (both Pink) should pop up. Do these actions until you reach 'Budding Romance' at which point you will be instructed to watch T.V. I think it's a movie which is 1 hour and 45 minutes long, on a 2 star T.V. I can't remember if you have to finish the movie. I don't think I did, but that may have only been a glitch. 

All of this earns you loads of XPs!
You will be required at some point to buy a 3 star bed. The sooner the better!
Then you need to "Sleep through Alarm", which on a 3 star bed takes 9 hours, 11 hours on a 2 star bed. And there is no way to speed up this process!
Once you wake up you'll need to make yourself a cup of coffee. You do that by purchasing a coffee maker from the Home Goods Store. I recommend the cheaper of the two.
Now, it's time to 'WooHoo', 'Ask to Move in' and get 'Engaged'. In order to become ‘Engaged’ you MUST do all of these actions in order
NOTE: The more expensive the ring the more likely they will say yes. The only ring you will be able to choose at first is the Eternity Ring, which will cost 10 LPs.
Before you can get hitched however, you have to build the Park. This is where all your time is going to get dried up. It will take $2,500 to build and 8 hours to complete (if I remember right). Then you'll have to get 5 Sims to the park and spend 15 more minutes talking to ducks before you can finally marry your first set of Sims. I wasted the first half a day and was able to make the challenge with about 2 hours to spare, but I also wound up using quite a few LPs to finish in time.

If I left anything out or you have any questions please comment.
