Quests / Daily Tasks

To kick it up a notch above the typical sims experience, sims mobile will need to offer players the option to pursue an assortment of activities on a daily basis. Activities which when performed, will reward players with in-game resources and/or experience points. Aside from keeping the game a bit more interesting, this should also help plenty in player retention -- by giving away premium resources as rewards. Hence, the game devised Quests and Daily tasks.

In the game, you'd probably learn in the long run that some items are just way too important -- and at the same time, a bit too hard to come by. One example is the Cupcake. Cupcake is a boost item in the game that instantly restores your energy when you use it. Since progress is withheld by the penalty points whenever you perform an event action, it is but logical to get around that by using a cupcake (to replenish your energy).

In order to promote playing daily, players are given the chance to earn a cupcake and all sorts of extra resources when they perform series of activities that are put together by the game. When players are able to accomplish all of them in a day, the reward is usually a cupcake. Apart from that, each of the required activities to perform usually reward players with either Simoleons, Experience points, Tickets, or even Fashion Gems (used in Izzy's Fashion Shop).

Most of the time, the required activities are very easy to perform. Usually, it includes tasks like socializing (speaking with other sims), improving your lifestyle (like acquiring new items), completing an event (or a number of events) on your career or hobby, improve your home, get a new look, and hand out stickers to other sims.

Unlike your daily tasks on the "Daily To-do List", Quests on the other hand, are long-term events that are acquired when you accumulate the requirements needed for each quest. They similarly reward you with in-game resources, although they are (in essence) harder and takes longer to accomplish, compared to your daily tasks.

Quests are also hard to accomplish because they usually give you vague descriptions of what to actually to do (there is no direct guidance to what you have to go through in order to actually "perform" them). One example of this is the quest "Oh, Baby!". What this particular quest require is for you to "Have a baby". This might sound simple, but the real extent of what you have to go through in order to achieve that is very far from being "simple", as you have to unlock a lot of stuff and meet a lot of requirements -- needed to actually get yourself a "baby" (refer to the Q&A section of the guide to learn how to have a baby).

Quests usually stack up as they are really hard to do. Nonetheless, whenever you accumulate appropriate advancement in the game and accomplish them, most of the time you'll be rewarded with Simoleons, SimCash, and Experience Points (this is aside from the usual stuff that you get to unlock from completing quests).

Why do you need to perform Quests or Daily Tasks? What do you get from performing them?

The whole idea of doing quest or the daily tasks (aside from earning the rewards) is to properly align you with progress in the game. This might not seem obvious when you simply play the game, but the daily tasks and quests are the ones that really reveal much of the game's content. For instance, while you are on your 10-11ish level, you'll see see things lining up in your quests like; "getting married" or "having a baby" -- all of which are initially unavailable to you. Put simply, daily tasks and quests serves as "hints" or "guides" by telling you what to do next in the game.

Where to find Quests and Daily Tasks?

Quests and your Daily To-Do list are found in the lower right part of the game's interface (refer to the image below). Quests are stacked in there and will remain to be there as long as you haven't accomplished them. On the other hand, you get a random things to pull through in your Daily Tasks, along with a few main-stays like; "get a new look", "remember to socialize", "hand-out stickers", and "improve lifestyle".

How to check your accomplishment?

Quests will generally stay there for as long as you have not accomplished them and collected their concluding rewards. You'll always see the number of quest you have yet to finish and review them by clicking the Quest button. On the other hand, tasks that you've managed to accomplish in your Daily To-Do list will automatically be grayed out, and have a green check mark upon accomplishing them.

Time-limited quests:

Time limited quests are seasonal tasks that usually tackles a specific theme that is related to either an upcoming season, a universally celebrated holiday, or even stuff that relatively advertise a new update in the game. When participating in these special events, you usually are able to obtain unique stuff (e.g. seasonally themed ornaments or apparel) that aren't available when playing the game normally.
