RINGLETS OF FIRE

In Sims Freeplay there is an emergency quest which popped up out of nowhere which is named as RINGLETS OF FIRE. It was mentioning the fact that "Sims have been spotted on TV with LONG HAIR!"  Selecting Yes removed all the items from the fashion hobby collection.




Another waste of time but this emergency quest RINGLETS OF FIRE will allow you to have long hair styles for your ladies.The time limit to me was 6:17:30. Do you really care about it. I don't think so. But lets go ahead and see what  is needed to complete it.

Step 1 Talk to a sim  on phone. Approximately 1 minute.
Step 2 It sounds ridiculous but your Sim's friend told them they spotted a Sim on TV with Long Hair. Spot the Long haired sims on TV

Step 3 EMAIL the LONG HAIRED CELEBRITY SIMS. There are so many Sims with long flowing locks on TV! Strange!. These long hairs have achieved the follically impossible, but there dress sense is terrible. Could you trade your fashionable clothes for their magnificent manes. Find out.

EMAIL the LONG HAIRED CELEBRITY SIMS















Step 4 Buy a Fashion Studio. Even if you already own one buy a new one. Long Haired Sims are interested in trade! Best Dressed for Best Tressed! Buy a Fashion Studio from Promotion R Us store on the town map  so that your sims can get started.


Buy a Fashion Studio

















Step 5 Create 1 Fashion Design
 The long Hairs wants a piece of fashionable clothing as a sign of good faith before they give up the secrets of their hirsute scalps. Have your sim design one line of clothing.
Create 1 Fashion Design















Step 6 Create a complete outfit set. And here starts the real work. This says Great Start! Those fresh follicles are but a whisker away!Now make a complete outfit set from fashion studio. Fashion 3 parts for the Long hairs to make a complete outfit.

At the competition of this herculean effort for the quest RINGLETS OF FIRE i got the first Long Hairstyle

Ringlets of Fire- Full Fringe Pony Tail 















Step 7 Create 2nd complete outfit


How to complete RINGLETS OF FIRE Fast

1. Put everyone and i mean every possible Sim to work. Below I show i used all the free space in Sims House to set up a design Studio. 














2. Atleast one of the sim should be level 6 at fashion designing. Otherwise get him to do the 6 hours and 12 Hours task to get to reach that level.

3. All other sims can do the 10 minute task and churn out different fashion sets.

4. Remember first one may take couple of days. Once you complete 12 fashion items once, next sets will become easier to achieve.
5. After completing each set don't forget to press reset button, otherwise the fashion items won't count

Reset and Start a new collection


At the end

Ringlets of Fire- Completed

Medieval Castle

Today I will take you through my latest buying in Sims FreePlay. The Medieval Castle. As the name sounds its a castle.. but with a medieval touch written all over it. Lot of basic amenities are missing in this one. But this one is for some spooky stuff.

This one can be found next to the Pro Skater's Dream Pad in the Standard Residence section. Let's find out whether its worth it to buy this house which is expensive then the Dream Pad option in Sims FreePlay standard residence.


First of all just the areal view from all 4 corners. It has a rustic feel to it which is quite consistent throughout the different sections of the house. In Sims FreePlay Medieval Castle is probably the only residence to have this kind of consistent touch in the decor of the house,


One strange thing I have noticed about this house is that if I stay here for long and one of the sim is not doing anything, it starts to get scary. There will be lightning and a horror movie kind of noises come into scare the sim. Put the sim to do some basic action and it goes away. So far I didn't notice any harm done.

For this Sims Freeplay Residence of Medieval Castle the house can be divided into 6 sections.

Bedroom


The Bedroom is a small one but has all the expensive stuff. 

  • 3 Star Oriental 4 post Bed
  • 2 Elegant Chest  and 1 Elegant Wardrobe to browse clothes and an elegant Table Lamp
  • Couple of  3 Star French Living Chair to rest
  • An Elegant Bookcase which is a 2 star item
  • To go with it has a wooden flooring


Dining Hall

Its kind of weird but it has a set of 3 tables accompanying 6 chairs.

  • Set of four 3 Star Chinese Chair to rest in Sims FreePlay.
  • Couple of Pharaoh's Dining Chair. Again a 3 star item to rest in Sims FreePlay.
  • Elegant Tall Lamp

Kitchen

This one is again filled with the expensive stuff so that sims can gain high XP in less time.

  • 3 Star Ice Man Fridge
  • 3 Star Cook Master 5000 for cooking and Baking
  • And nice looking counter top to go with it



Bathroom


This is the only place where compromise is done in terms of items put in here. And a strange  Bookshelf to go with it

  • 2 star Elegant BathTub
  • 2 Star Vintage Sink
  • 2 Star Porcelain Bus' Toilet
  • 2 Star Elegant Bookcase


Study Room (with Chess Table)

As if the house was not already filled with so many bookshelf's this one offers few more
  • 2 Elegant Tall Lamps for lighting
  • 1 star Chess Board to play chess.
  • Couple of 2 Star Elegant Dining Chair to play chess
  • Couple of 2 Star Elegant Bookcase
  • Another 2 Star Brown Bookcase



Guest Waiting Room

This one is like waiting room or another dining room. 

  • Set of four 3 Star Chinese Dining Chair
  • couple of 3 Star Chinese Living Chair


At the middle of the last 2 sections is the decorative lawn which has some really spooky stuff.


Although at the time of writing I am still at Level 15, so I have not seen anything weird, but this one for sure has some ghost sitting somewhere. Do let me know how do you like the house or any other questions about the house.

Sims promotions r us to design clothes

Another Frequently asked question is Where is promotions r us building located or How do i design clothes? or In sims free play what is promotions r us fashion studio

Step 1: The Building can be located just under the park. In the  pic it is the one with blue background.




Step 2: Once you click the building there is a list of promotion items. Generally they are to help Sims get promotion in their field of work. But one of the items useful to have a Hobby is Designer Studio. It can be brought from here.




Other notable items in the list are

  • Easel for Artist
  • Soccer Ball for Athlete
  • Fire Hydrant for Firefighter
  • Auction Podium for Real Estate Agent
  • Mirror for Politician

Step 3: After that click on the tick sign at the right hand side to buy the stuff. Now it will be available in the Home store Icon under the inventory -> Hobby Tab. Just place this Designer Studio at home. Call the sim and click on the studio.



You will get options to 

  • Design Fashion

Sims tai chi in the park

A very frequently asked question is How do I make my Sims tai chi? or  how to do tai chi at the park in sims free play? 

Step 1: First of all you need to have a Park in the Map completed. Its location is as shown below with green Background. Just above Promotions r us building and to the left of lake.



Step 2: After that you can call one of your sims there and Touch sim itself and you will get the option to perform tai chi in Sims FreePlay. This option is enabled along with 'Reach Nirvana' option inside the Park.

Pro Skaters Dream Pad

Through this post I will show you how the Skater's Dream Parade looks like. This one is a Standard Residence which will cost you 19LP.

Where to find it?
Just go to a normal residence on the map and click. Scroll to right and you will find this option. In Sims free play game this one is useful for skating. This is also called by some as skate house. All this is because this house has a skate ramp on the backyard. Sims Freeplay game does not allow you to move the skateboard ramp from this house. So after sometime when you see it, looks like a big waste to me. I might have to eat my words if in some future level it becomes useful but so far its not worth it . Still for some its a nice addition and thus you can have a look at the Pro Skaters Dream Pad in detail.
