2016 Update
From time to time
Quests get updated, so we have gone through this
Quest again with another account an updated the task list below, while some of the tasks have stayed the same, we have noticed that the timings have changed a lot. Your actual completion times may vary slightly from the ones we have due to different equipment levels and such.
Complete this
Quest to gain
Horses and unlock a new area to interact with them. If you can complete it within the time limit (2 days) you get a cool rainbow powered Unicorn painting too!
You should have
Mystery Island unlocked before you attempt this task. Also, be sure you are not in the middle of building another building as you will need to build a
Stables during this task.
1) The first task is to
spot Horses with a Telescope. You can grab a telescope from the
Promotions R Us Store for about 3450 SImoleans. The action itself is quite short, about five minutes.
2) Go to
Mystery Island
3) Spot the Overgrown
Stables - Tap on the stables icon near the volcano in the
Mystery Island
4) Go back to a house and call the mysterious number (1m 40 secs)
5) Read a horse care manual. You can find one of these on a bookshelf. If you don't have one, you'll need to buy one from the living room section. (9h 30m)
6) Call the mysterious number again (4 mins)
7) Find a locksmith. Head over to a computer and lock for a locksmith on the Internet (6m 24 seconds)
8) Build the
Stables. Head back over to the stables in the Mysterious Island (9hr 30 mins)
9) Call a SIm to the
Stables (instant)
10) Clean up the mess in front of the yard (4 mins). Just find the oil drum that is lying down, tap that and select the remove option.
11) Have four
Sims at the
Stables - So just call four sims in total to the stables area.
12) Clean up the mess in the yard with your
Sims. There are four other
Items in the stable yard which you need to repair or remove, select each item and your four sims will get to work. It's about 10 hours for the
Job in the bath, and you can even get started earlier that reaching this stage of the task.
Original Content
The Horse and
Stables expansion to FreePlay in addition to adding
Horses - and the Stables - also adds some new hobbies and
Hobby Activities tot he game for Teenage and
Adult Sims. Very cool that is says Yoda.
Added to the game in May 2014, the expansion is first available to players when they reach Level 11 -- in theory anyway -- but the player must update their game by accessing the App Store, then the Updates Menu, finally tapping the Update for
Sims: FreePlay. The update is 537MB in size.
Once the game has been patched with the new expansion content access this the new content is obtained via this unlocking
Quest...
As with most of the
Hobby and structure special flag
Quests, there is a special prize attached to the timer for this
Quest -- specifically if the player completes the quest before the expiration of the 7 day timer that is attached to the quest, they will unlock a Rainbow Unicorn Painting -- it seems clear this one was added with girl gamers in mind...
Completing this
Quest (whether within the timer or after) unlocks the
Stables on
Mystery Island, and the
Horses that are part of the Stables. The following Quest Line is required and is the path for unlocking the Stables and Horses:
- Go for a Drive (3m)
- Spot Horses with a Telescope (10h)
- Go to Mystery Island (Instant)
- Spot the Stables (Instant /Tap it)
- Call the Mysterious Phone Number* (30m)
- Read the Horse Care Manual (9h)
- Call the Mysterious Number Again* (4m)
- Look up a Locksmith on Your Computer* (2h)
- Build the Stables (Time / Price Varies)
- Send a Sim to the Stables (Instant)
- Clean Up the Mess in the Front Yard (1h 30m)
- Have 4 Sims at the Stables (Instant)
- Clean up the Mess in Yard with your Sims (Teen / Adult / Senior - Time Varies)

- Repair Stable (Adults -- Cost = $30K -- 8h)
- Call the Stables Owner (5h)
- Add a Horse to Stable (10 SP -or- $15K)
- Feed the New Horse (30m)
This completes the
Mission and fully unlocks the
Stables and
Horses in your game! Well done you!
There are a number of
Mission related to the
Stables that may or may not spawn next - it depends on what the point weight is on the outstanding
Quests in your queue -- a higher point value in weight might cause a different
Quest line to go next - you never can tell...
There special
Mission called The Hidden Unicorn -- which unlocks the
Show Jumping Hobby -- may (or may not) flag next...
We have grouped the
Quests together here but that is no indication that they will actually appear back-to-back -- just saying that YMMV.

Horses for the Stables
The following
Horses are or will be available upon the completion of this
Mission - and the completion of any special requirements for the specific horse. Below is the list, at the time of the completion of this mission, along with cost and special requirements:
- Dappled Grey ($15,000) 1-Star Horse
- Patched Brown (10 SP) 1-Star horse
- Spotted Grey ($30,000) 2-Star Horse (Complete the Ticks Hobby to unlock)
- Brown (20 LP) 2-Star Horse (Complete the Tricks Hobby to unlock)
- Light Bay ($50,000) 3-Star Horse (Complete the Vaulting Hobby to unlock)
- Black (50 LP) 3-Star Horse (Complete the Vaulting Hobby to unlock)
- Unicorn (100 LP) 3-Star Horse (Complete the Show Jumping Hobby to unlock)
Note that once you have added the first horse - and have had one of your
Sims feed it - that will complete the Need for Steed
Mission, and will then unlock the next special mission in the game. If you actually look at the
Stables Yard you will see that there are two gates - for the two hobbies - that can be triggered to begin their respective missions.
Hobbies and Time Warning
Something that you should also note is the completion of the Need for Steed
Mission opens the door for the Life
dreams & Legacies Mission - and that is the one that adds the finite life span timers to your
Sims. That being the case you should make significant efforts to master ALL of the hobbies BEFORE you do that
Quest, since prior to it there are no timers running on your Sims.
Once the timers start running, you are going to want to be careful how you use the time for each Sim, so having the various hobbies that you can have mastered complete is a very good idea.

Hi i just restarted playing the game because my tablet wouldnt connect to the internet. So its been over a year andim unsure how to unlock the horses because im already on lvl 31. What can i do to unlock the quest? Thanks for helping
How do I skip this quest? I have enough life points but I don't know how to skip yhe need for steed quest P:
I need a lot more simoleons and can't buy them. How do I get more?
Send Sims to work, try building the recording studio and giving all your Sims jobs there as it is the highest paying job.
I personally like to plant corn because it gets you 100 or 148 simoleons and it only takes 20 minutes

I did not complete the quest in time - does it mean I will never be able to get horses
Thanks
Please help
No you still can get horses.
100,00$ to build a stable!!!
I thought it was only $30k.
Everything now is updated so the time varies although a trick cat to the whole game is the quality of your furniture for instance anything with 1 Stat beside it takes more time than any object that is 2 or 3 stars
Here are some answers to some questions
*how do I go for a drive?
Buy the car dealer buy a car then the option will pop up
*where is the unicorn pic ?
If you completed it in the time limit you can buy it from the decorations for 10000s
*how do I get the horse in the stable?
The horses wonder free you cannot keep them in one place
Hope this helps 🐎

I just paid $300,000 for my stables and I swear it said 12 hours to make and now its saying 60hr to build, how am I supposed to do this quest in the time span if the stay takes 2 and half days to build!?
Usually if you have done any cheats or stuff it will double the time for a task say you use a cheat and what would normally be 3 hours will take 15 hours.

If you have completed all the quests before it you most likely won't have
There has to be a person at the stables in order to do so. How do I get my horse in his stable??
