Im already registered to origin but i can't complete the "check the mail" goal... I already tried to tap the mailbox but that does'nt work. Or maybe i have to wait for the daily reward?

Yes u should wait to the daily reward.

I have had the same problems I think it may be that you have to check daily so tomorrow you could see if it changes any?

I too have the same problem. Haven't gotten daily reward in weeks!!! So the goal cannot be completed if there is nothing to check in the mailbox :-(
Added 2nd Sep 2012, ID #182490, by Guest
 
You can just skip that goal with 5 lifepoints
Added 3rd Sep 2012, ID #182813, by Guest
 
if you used the changing the date cheat, you can't get daily rewards any longer. i suppose thats a glitch or something.

I just recently started "Sims Freeplay" on my I phone 4. Everything task that has been given to me has been handled accordingly. However, the last task that was given to me was to check my mail. I check my mail, but the task kept saying check your mail box.. I don't know if it was because it didn't register it or because the other sims mail box needs to be checked? Can you please help?

For mailbox problem uninstall game and before you reinstall it change date on phone or iPad to 1st January then reinstall it's the Xmas dates that are causing the glitch

You can only check your mail once every day,on any mailbox it will have an icon in a speech bubble above the mail box.when that pops up you click the mail box and you'll get rewarded money.

Um, I'm pretty sure you're supposed to click and receive the daily reward? I'm going to do it, but I got the money a goal before the check your mail one. You do it by clicking the cloud thing over the mailbox.

You have to update sims first, then collect the reward. Cause E.A basically prevented us to complete this goal :| to force us to update.

Once you have bought the ball you need to get it from your inventory and actually use it, it takes 1 hour

Do you know how you get your daily reward in your mailbox everyday? Just wait for that to come up on the day that goal is being set or the next day.

You will need to wait until a speech bubble pops up over the mail box with an envelope in it...once every 24 hours.

I used LP to skip the goal and the damned postbox lit up with new mail as soon as I hit the continue button after skipping the goal. Must be a bug.

Skip the goal or wait for your daily reward I guess. I'm on this too and I'm making all my sims (preteen and adult) do their hobbies for around 8 hours so that when that is done I will most likely be able to check my mail. - hope this helped

To check mail there is a time when it's time a sort of mail sign will pop up on top of it meaning you have received mail.
