Top 10 Aging Actions in The Sims: FreePlay
03. Education
Within the realm of FreePlay what we would consider a normal life is not really in line with the life and the society found there. What we mean by that is simply that not sending your kids to school every day will not result in a visit from the truant officer or a trip to jail and court. On the other hand, not helping them get an education? Well that will just make some dumb Sims!
In terms of the impact on their life span it is significant. Sending them to school is going to burn a full five hours from that life stage timer. Considering that there are other more important things you actually want and need to accomplish with them, and in those early life stages, this is to be avoided...
The basic task timer for school is as follows:
School - Life Stage - TimerElementary - Preteen - 5 Hours
High School - Teen - 5 Hours
As with most tasks in the game, there is a way around it - a way to hack it. For example your kids will earn a set amoumt of school XP by attending the day's lessons for that five hours. You can do that - OR you can have them use Training Aids at home to get the same (or better) progress in less time. Your call but we choose to use the Training Aids ourselves...
The idea is to earn sufficient XP for that 'Job' to level it up - for Preteens in Elementary/Jr. High there are 10 levels, for Teens in High School there are 7.
Education Training Aids
Preteens - White Study Desk - Brainstorm Task 3m 12s (16 XP)
Preteens - White Study Desk - Study Task 20m (73 XP)
Preteens - White Study Desk - Cram Task 2h (412 XP)
Teens - White Wood Study Desk - Revise Notes Task 8m (40 XP)
Teens - White Wood Study Desk - Write Report Task 45m (132 XP)
Teens - White Wood Study Desk - Research Task 3h (370 XP)
Teens - White Wood Study Desk - Work on Science Project Task 24h (1,518 XP)
The daily school grind can thus be addressed in just 3h for the Teen, and 2h for the Preteen when you do it at home... Once you have them cap off their education levels, you can stop that entirely and focus upon the other tasks and goals with no consequence for neglecting their studies...
What if you do not complete Life Dreams so your Sims do not die. Does it prevent more missions being available?
Why use only alternate parents for your baby? Use every Sim so the parents do not die so quickly

How do I change a toddler into a pre-teen?
You bake a cake and once you have a cake you tap the toddler/infant and you select have birthday and that ages them
It will not give me the cake in the line it's still behind dark gray no matter what I do I can't get it
You might need a2star fridge
The reason for that will depend on what quests you are doing and the Sim in question. My best advice is to try with a different adult Sim.
To get XP fast make your sim change from sleepware to everyday clothes at a wardrobe. Every time the sim gets changed you get 3 XP

The wizards behind the game are very good at closing the hacks and cheat holes in the code. The last update pretty much locked it down. Until we hear about the discovery of new cheats the answer to this question is - you don't...
how to turn your baby into a toddler
In the pre-Life Dreams and Legacies System you needed to bake a birthday cake (which cost you 5LP) then have the birthday party for the Infant you wanted to turn into a Toddler. After LD&L expansion the process happens automatically after the Infant in question has lived X number of days.
I just cannot figure out how to age baby to toddler. Any help? Thanks
Bake a cake for them.Then hit birthday party on baby.
Baby to toddler steps: First u need to have 1 of ur sims be on the cooking level where u can choose the bday cake. When u tap stove choose baking. Buy it for 5 life points. Bake it for 1day. Then after that go to ur baby and hit the selection Have Bday, push yes. Wham!! Your baby instantly turns into a toddler. Then u will be able to name, pick eye and hair color and face and hairstyle.
