A Full Walkthrough to Earning Rewards in The Sims 4 Forever Friends Event Week 1!

Last week, The Sims Team unveiled the latest live event, Forever Friends, which coincides with the release of The Sims 4 Adventure Awaits Expansion Pack. There are a whole heap of new objects, CAS items, recipes, and traits that can be redeemed with points earned from completing the quest line. Players have until November 4th to snap up these rewards before they’re gone (subject to extension). Let’s take a look at how to complete week 1 of the Forever Friends event!

Starting Out

When you next log in to the game, you will be greeted by yet another pop-up alerting you to the Event. By clicking ‘Play Now’, you will be taken to the event menu, where you can view all quests and rewards.

Once open, you will see a layout similar to past events, with the rewards being displayed along the bottom. By clicking the quests tab, you can view current and upcoming quests available with the Sims 4 Forever Friends Event Week 1. You can even claim a starter reward, ‘Pixel the Friendly Bear’, without having to do anything!

‘A New Journey’ Quest Steps

If you have read our previous walkthroughs for The Sims 4 Nature’s Calling Live Event, you will be happy to see the return of Bob and Eliza Pancakes, this time with the addition of their son, Iggy!

Our first quest of The Sims 4 Forever Friends Event Week 1 is called “Friends Forever”, and hopefully that’s true by the end of it. The quest will automatically start as you load into your household.


Our first task is to’ Buy a new Stuffed Animal’, and what better stuffed animal to buy than the login reward, Pixel the Friendly Bear! The new toy can be found under the Kids section is Build-Buy mode.

Task 1A Buy Bear 1

Our Second Step is to hug our new friend. Simply click on Pixel (or whatever you choose to rename him) and select “Hug”.

Task 2A Hug Bear 1

We are now tasked with moving the Stuffed Animal near a TV. You can either drag him in Live mode or get more precise movement in Build-Buy mode. The Stuffed Animal doesn’t have to be facing the TV, but should be placed within a few tiles of distance.

Task 3A TV Bear

After placing your Stuffed Animal near the TV, it’s time to watch the Kids Network with our fluffy friend.

Task 4A Kids Network

After watching TV for a while, the task will be marked as complete, and you will be given the next task. Next up, we have to buy a Toybox from Build-Buy mode. If you already have one on the lot, this will be marked as complete automatically. I chose the Base Game toybox.

Task 5A Yoybox

Similarly to placing him in front of the TV, we now have to move our new friend within the vicinity of the Toybox.

Task 6A Place Near

Now that the Stuffed Animal is next to the Toybox, we have to have our child Sim play with a toy from said Toybox. The box always comes pre-stocked with a few toys.

Task 7A Play With Toy

After a long day of playing with toys and watching TV, it’s time to wind down for bedtime. The next step to completing your first quest is to place the Stuffed Animal near your child’s bed.

Task 8A Place near bed

And finally it’s time to send your Sim to bed next to their new friend.

Task 9A Sleep

And with that, the first quest of The Sims 4 Forever Friends Event Week 1 is done! Don’t forget to head to the event panel and claim the rewards with the points you earned. You can access it by clicking the ‘Forever Friends’ icon in the top left corner.

‘Friends Forever’ Quest Steps

As soon as you finish the first quest, the second one will immediately start. A new day has begun, and it’s time to have some breakfast, pee, and see what’s next on our adventures with our new friend!

Task 1A Eat

Our cuddly friend, unfortunately, knows that our time together is limited and that we won’t remain friends forever. You are now tasked with asking an Adult (Young Adult, Adult, or Elder life stages apply). Their response has left your child wondering if they can solve this themselves.

Task 2A Tell Adult

It’s time to draw up a plan! Head to an activity table and select ‘Draw…’ and select ‘Plan’.

Task 3A Draw a plan

After completing the plan, share it with your toy. They think the plan sounds great; however, keeping memories as photographs may be the way to go. Perhaps a hint as to what next week’s tasks may involve?

Task 4A ShowPlan

And that’s it for this week’s quests! Make sure to head to the Forever Friends Icon in the top left to redeem your Event Points for this week’s rewards. You can check them out below!

Week 1 Rewards

For week 1, there are a total of NUMBER rewards up for grabs after completing the two quests. Unfortunately, the more exciting rewards come in later weeks, but for now, let’s take a look at our winnings!

Small Rewards
