FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS QUEST
please read before asking
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 8 before you can start this quest
Can I complete this quest even though I have passed level 8?
Yes, you just need to complete all previous quests then this quest will start automatically
Why are there two versions of this quest?
Some quests have two versions, as when the makers have updated the times for quests they haven’t updated them on all devices so some players still get the old times
I can’t place the magazines in my house, why?
You need to put them on a table or counter, you cannot place them on the floor
My sims won’t read the magazine, help!
Do blue footprints appear? Read the answer below
Why do blue footprints appear when I try to use an item?
Blue footprints appear when your sim cannot access an item you want them to use, you need to either rotate the item or move an item that has been placed in front of it so they can use it
I can’t afford the children’s store, how can I earn more simoleons?
This post may help
Can I build the children’s store early?
No, you cannot build the children’s store until you get the goal in this quest
How many babies can a couple have?
They can have 2 children as only 4 sims can live in a house at one time
How do babies go to the toilet?
They will go in their diaper when they are ready, then you can change their diaper to increase their hygiene
What do I get if I complete this quest in the time limit?
The baby decoration pack
What happens if I don’t complete in the time limit, can I still finish this quest?
Yes you have to finish it to be able to add babies to your town 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
The next quest is the Ocean View Estate which unlocks the premium residences so you can build bigger houses!

so i’m v.i.p lvl 6 so i can have 5 sims and a household, and i have household that has a married couple and their married daughter and the son in law in a house, and i want their daughter and the son in law to have a baby, the question is, if i add a baby how do i make sure the parents are the daughter and her husband and not her parents?
Unfortunately you don’t! The only way to make sure is to move out the married parents but they will have to get a divorce first so one can then move out and then the other one can move out and then have the baby and then move them back into that house, personally I wouldn’t worry about it and just add the baby, you know who the parents actually are even if the game gets it wrong.
Do you still have to pay LP for the baby?
The first baby will be free, after that they cost 3LPs yes. Once you complete the life dreams and legacies quest it will cost you simoleons to add babies.
Thank you for this blog, it is a lifesaver in helping me plan out which quests to finish in time and which ones aren’t as good prizes. I do have a question I hope you can answer. When you add a baby are they stuck in their cradle or is there a way to switch cribs? I won a super cute crib I want to switch my baby into but I can’t even move the occupied crib anywhere it seems. Is there anything I can try?
You’re welcome! Once you complete the Nanny Knows Best quest babies can leave their cribs so you will be able to move them to a different crib but you cannot move them until you complete that quest: https://thegirlwhogames.blog/2015/08/01/the-sims-freeplay-nanny-knows-best-quest/
I can’t pick up my baby sim from the crib. Anything to solve this problem?
You need to rotate the crib so your sims have access to the side to be able to pick up the baby.
How do i get the bar with the picture of a toilet full again for a baby???
Just wait, they will go in their diaper when they are ready then you can change their diaper to increase their hygiene.
How can I pick an infant up from a crib?
You need to complete the Nanny Knows Best quest to be able to get your babies out of their cribs: https://thegirlwhogames.blog/2015/08/01/the-sims-freeplay-nanny-knows-best-quest/
I needed to send all my adult sims to work to get money for the children store and I needed an extra sim and that took ages so now I’ve only got a little bit of time and the baby has 22 hours left and I haven’t got all that time so will I get the bundle or not
If you don’t complete in the time limit you will not unlock the baby decoration pack, these posts may help you earn some money and LPs for future quests: https://thegirlwhogames.blog/2014/02/27/the-sims-freeplay-15-ways-to-make-money-and-lps/ and https://thegirlwhogames.blog/2015/01/14/the-sims-freeplay-how-do-i-have-so-many-lps/
i built the children’s store but it won’t let me buy a crib! help!
Try buying the crib from the infant section of the home store instead
how many babies can I have at a time? I currently bought a crib, and I’m in the process of adding a baby I then bought an additional crib but it doesn’t give me the option to add another, so do I have to wait til the arrival of the first baby?
You can only add one baby at a time, once the first baby has been added you will be able to add the second baby.
Hello! I have a few questions about babies first can a baby have Relationships with sims that are not part of that baby’s family? Second I am thinking of my only sim family moving to a different home and I am wondering will I be able to but the cot in storage if I have the mom hold her and move the cot to the new home? And can a baby get adopted? Thanks for reading!!!
Yes they can, you can find all relationships here: https://thegirlwhogames.blog/2014/05/19/the-sims-freeplay-relationships/
You can move them without doing that, when you move the family the crib will move to the new house with the baby in it or if there is already a crib in the house the baby will move into that one.
Yes, babies can be adopted but only if the parents die or move out of the game
I think you missed a quest quite closely related to this – The A ‘Bumpy’ ride quest.
I am stuck on this so it would be very useful if I knew how to do it!
Thanks!

Why can’t I get the read better and farm cradles I did the being nice to a sim and buy a carpet and wallpaper for 450?
Are you on this quest yet? You won’t be able to complete this task until you are on this quest, the goals will appear when you start the quest and complete when you do each task.
Why can’t I do the two and a half sims I completed the love is in the air
Have you reached level 8 yet?
It’s not letting me build the baby store even though I’ve done all the quests.
What does it say when you click on the maternity store? Are you currently building something else?
Apparently, I can’t build the children’s shop unless I do the Two and a Half sims quest but I can’t do that without building a children’s store. I’m so confused.
You won’t be able to build the children’s store until you get the goal in the quest, once you get the goal it can be built.
What do you mean, get the goal in the quest. I am having the same problem. The next part to my quest is to build the store but it won’t let me until I have complete two and a half sims.
Are you currently on the goal to build the children’s store? As you cannot start building until the goal in the two and a half sims quest tells you to build the store.
I still can’t do double shoot coffe. Help me please
On the coffee machine select the 1 minute option.
I have completed the task “expand or create a room” then what should i do next?
Spend S450 on wallpaper and flooring is the next task, read the post to see the list of tasks you have to complete in this quest.
Short question! (I should have written this on the Infants guide but the comments were closed there) you know the button which says “Receive a Baby in 24 hours”, I’ve heard that you can pay with sim money (I can’t remember what it is exactly called) after the life and legacies quest. I really don’t know the maximum cost is so can you tell me what the cost is? Many thanks
The cost in simoleons varied depending on how many sims you already have in your town so unfortunately I don’t know for sure how much it will cost you.
I feel I should point out, they don’t have to be married, just partners. I’ve had a family where they weren’t married yet and had a baby. No other sim was married.
i’m stuck. i have 8 adults and can’t get a baby. i only get an extra sim slot if i solve a quest. but the quest is the baby one….
Unfortunately it sounds like you might have to delete one of your adult sims to be able to add the baby.
