LIFE DREAMS AND LEGACIES QUEST – BEACH: SEASHELLS – TODDLER AND PRETEEN SIMS – PRIZES: EARRINGS, HATS AND 6LP
Once you complete the Life Dreams and Legacies Quest you will be able to use orbs to build the Beach, once the Beach is built one of your toddler or preteen sims will be able to complete this hobby by clicking on the seashells washed up on the beach:
This is my least favourite hobby, just because you have to do this at different times of the day to find all the shells, the night ones are the worst as night starts at midnight! I will not be doing this hobby again.
You have to come back at different times of the day to find all the shells:
- Night- 10 minutes (between 12am- 6 am)
- Dawn- 1 hour (between 6am- 12pm)
- Noon- 2 hours (between 12pm-6pm)
- Dusk- 3 hours (between 6pm-12am)
Each option will unlock two rows of shells in the hobby collection:
OPTION | FIND |
---|---|
NIGHT |
BETWEEN 12am – 6am |
DAWN |
BETWEEN 6am – 12pm |
NOON |
BETWEEN 12pm – 6pm |
DUSK |
BETWEEN 6pm – 12am |
After the time has passed come back and click the exclamation mark above your sims head to find one of the seashell collectibles in that row. You still level up in this hobby but the hobby level up percentage isn’t important as the seashell collectibles don’t unlock depending on your level, you just have to go back at different times of the day to find all the shells.
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 | Amateur Beachcomber | – |
2 | Competent Comber | 250XP |
3 | Avid Shell Collector | 500XP |
4 | Hermit Crab Evictor | S750 |
5 | Conchologist | 10,000 Town Value |
6 | Lord of the Conch | 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 seashell collecting 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):
You will earn XPs when you complete a row in the hobby but to complete the collection you need to find all 24 of the collectibles
The rewards for completing this collection are earrings, hats and 6LP:
- The first time you complete the seashell collecting hobby you unlock earrings for female preteens (found in the store under accessories, once purchased they can be found in the wardrobe under accessories) and hats for female and male toddlers and male preteens (found in the wardrobe under hats)
- From the second time onwards each time you complete the collection you will earn 6LP

Is anyone having a problem collecting new shells? I have not found anything new in weeks.
Are you coming back at the different times as shown in the post?
Thanks for the reminder. I have been missing the night shells. Now I know why.
I hate this hobby! It’s the only one I am yet to complete because of the different time requirements.
I managed to complete it once but I won’t be doing it again!
I’ve got one shell left to find and it just will not come. Of course it’s one of the midnight ones! I’ve given up for the time being.
This is probably my favourite hobby! Because I also like to collect seashells! ❤️
I like collecting seashells in real life too! I want my favourite preteen to start this hobby as soon as I have built the beach. ☆★♡♥
Once the beach has been built, how many sims can you have doing this hobby at one time? I love your blog so much and use it everytime I start something new!
I believe only one set of shells washes up on the beach at a time so only one sim can do this hobby until another set of shells appears
And thanks!
Thanks, it was driving me crazy not knowing the times. I really appreciate your info.
You’re welcome!
How do I get the Pirates quest to come up on the sims freeplay
You need to complete all previous main quests that appear before it, this list shows you the order: https://thegirlwhogames.wordpress.com/2014/02/11/the-sims-freeplay-main-quests/
Seashell collecting sounded cool until i read the post, im thinking i might not waste my time. Unless, there are events that will require this hobby later, are there?
Probably not, there have been no events requiring hobbies completed at places you have to build with orbs so far and I doubt there will be.
Where is the beach on sims freeplay?
On the mysterious island, complete the life dreams and legacies quest to be able to build the beach.

You’re welcome, glad I could help!
