The Sims Mobile has just started with their latest quest called the Quest For Love! This is a Head Start Quest for the upcoming Valentine Event that we assume begins next week.
The thing about Head Start Quests is that they’re crucial for big Events that they’re preparing the player for. For example, the previous Winterfest Head Start Quest helped you unlock items that made the events for the actual Winterfest Event much shorter so you could complete the events quickly and get the tokens you need in time.
Down below you can check out the full walkthrough of the Quest For Love Quest!
Down below you can check out the full overview of all the quest steps and the items that you can unlock with each one:
UPDATE: The Sims Mobile has just posted the following image, teasing the upcoming event:
The Sims Mobile Team seems to have “accidentally” revealed the upcoming event for The Sims Mobile!
The “My Heirloom Collection” Menu in the game now shows a whole new Heirloom that hasn’t made an appearance before in the game called “My Bitter Valentine”. This heirloom is marked as “Uncommon” and can be unlocked via the “Bitter Valentine Storybook”.
Right now we don’t have any official information regarding when the Valentines Event could arrive to The Sims Mobile, but considering that the actual Valentines Day is only a couple of days away this Event should begin any day now.
Make sure you’re on a lookout on our website for all the latest updates about this Event!
The Sims Mobile is currently offering a limited-time quest that’s probably one of the easiest ones we’ve had since the release of the game.
To celebrate the Lunar New Year, also known as the Year of the Pig, The Sims Mobile team released a brand new 1-step quest that’ll grant you the Prosperous Pig decor as seen in the image below:
To claim this item all you have to do is tap on any furniture in your home and select “Clean”. You’ll have to perform this interaction that requires 3 energy points 3 times in order to claim the Prosperous Pig.
This short quest is active right now and available until February 11th, 2019.
Robie Kauker, Audio Director working on The Sims Franchise has just broke some very sad news today on the official The Sims Blog. Gerri Lawlor, the main female voice actress who worked on The Sims has sadly passed away.
Check out what Robi has to say about his loving memories of Gerri down below:
Dear Simmers,
We have received news of the passing of Gerri Lawlor. Gerri was the original female voice actress in The Sims and one of the main reasons Simlish is such a hilarious digital phenomenon.
Gerri was an amazing improvisational comedienne who brought her enormous personality to the mic. She was one of the funniest people with whom I ever had the opportunity to work. We were introduced to Gerri by Claire Curtin, who brought her in from the local San Francisco improv scene. Gerri’s generosity and willingness to try anything is one of my most cherished memories from over twenty years of making The Sims. It’s something I still lean on and learn from to this day.
Gerri and her male counterpart, Stephen Kearin, gave us the gift of side-splitting, deeply painful laughter on countless occasions in the studio, to the point of a rib fracturing in one session.
Their combined acts of sheer creative joy while playing with Simlish remain high points in my career and a constant reminder of how wonderful and fulfilling a creative life can be.
Gerri, we will miss you so much and are grateful for our time together.
Dag dag! (Gerri said it first.)
Robi Kauker, Audio Director

FIXES & UPDATES
The Sims 4
- The Digitalistic Sketchpad will no longer occasionally lose the majority of its interactions.
- Style Influencer Career interactions that were causing child Sims to become distorted are no longer available for selection on children.
- Fixed an issue where ghost Sims were unable to use a Book of Life to resurrect themselves.
- Seed Packets can no longer become hidden under the ground on slightly uneven terrain.
- Being insulted by the Lin-Z Smart Speaker will now cause relationship loss between the Sim and the speaker.
- Wake-up routines set on the Lin-Z Smart Speaker will now continue to run, even if a Sim no longer has a high relationship with the speaker.
- The Gallery has a new size filter to assist in searching for 40×40 lots.
- One caveat: The new filter will not find 40×40 lots that were uploaded to the Gallery prior to this game update.
- Camera Positions saved to the “9” key could conflict with using the “9” key to raise an object in the air when the bb.moveobjects cheat is turned on. To resolve this, we’ve introduced the ability to clear out a previously saved camera position.
- Existing Camera Position functionality:
- “Ctrl” + “5-9” will set a saved camera position.
- Once a camera position has been saved…
- “5-9” keys will smoothly move the camera to that position.
- “Shift” + “5-9” will immediately snap the camera to that position.
- New Camera Position functionality:
- “Alt” + “5-9” will remove a previously saved camera position from the selected number.
- When time is paused after initially loading into a lot, pressing either the “~” or “p” keys will now unpause the game, instead of requiring that you press one of the game speed keys to unpause.
- Hotkeys will no longer be able to open various Sim information panels that are locked during the Tutorial.
- Fixed an issue where a Sim could become stuck in the Tutorial if they traveled to a park without taking a vacation day off from work.
- Players will no longer be notified that someone has commented on their Gallery profile, if they were the ones writing a comment to their own profile.
- It seems a little egotistical to comment on your own profile… but hey — we’re not judging you.
- The main menu once again includes a link to the most recent patch notes.
- If that’s how you’ve made your way to reading these very words, then hello — thanks for stopping by!
Get Together
- Listening to music on the Lin-Z Smart Speaker will now count towards the Listen to Music club rule.
Cats & Dogs
- Pet owners should, once again, no longer have their interaction queue become filled up with interactions.
Seasons

- Fixed a clipping issue that occurred when wearing the toddler’s rain boots with certain pairs of pants.

The Sims Team did a special preview of the upcoming update for The Sims 4 on PC / Mac making its way tomorrow (February 5th, 2019). The update will include plenty of big bug fixes (including the stinky leaf piles) and will also include a brand new batch of content – the Lunar New Year Clothing & Objects!
That’s right – The Sims 4 is getting on board and celebrating the 5th of February which is celebrated all across China. The year 2019 is marked as the Year of the Pig, which is the main reason why there’s now a golden pig statue being added to the game.
The team also gave a preview of some of the new Create A Sim items being added to the game. What’s interesting is that there’s at least one new CAS addition for each age, as seen down below!
As you’ve probably seen in the screen above, this content update will include new Citrus Trees Plants. Considering that they’ve already been put in pre-made planter boxes they probably won’t be harvestable in the game.
The update also comes with plenty of new indoor items, including some envelope clutter, golden pig statues, the Orange Tree decor and more.
Theere’s also an interesting decor object calles the “Sycee of the Prosperous Moon” that costs 120 Simoleons in Build Mode. Interestingly enough, this item (and probably other new Lunar Year Items as well) has been marked as an updated piece of content in the description.
There’s a new lantern ceiling light object that you can find in the screen below, as well as new lantern swatches for The Sims 4 Base Game lantern object that you can spot on the far right of the screen.
Toddlers will also be able to enjoy the new Panda Bear toys that you can see in action below!
And last (but not least), The Sims Team has shown off 2 new recipes that are coming with this update:
Want to see these new items in action? Check them out on the livestream replay of Maxis Monthly. The segment where The Sims Team shows off these items begins at 37:00!
SimGuruKate has just announced on Twitter that, beside the fact that The Sims Team will be celebrating the 19th Anniversary of The Sims Franchise during Maxis Monthly, they’ll also be checking out the brand new Content Update for The Sims 4 that’s scheduled for release TOMORROW, February 5th 2019.
She revealed that the update will include some big bug fixes for The Sims 4(including the stinky leaf piles) as well as new Lunar New Year content that will be shown off today.
The Sims Team will be doing an overview of this update in their livestream that begins an hour from now. You can watch it HERE!
