The Big List of Social Goals

Welcome to The Big List of Goals: social Goals -- the section of our guide that is all about the Quests that take you out of town.

Really this can only be a partial list -- because they are constantly adding new Quests to the list of those available, and besides that you would need to focus pretty much all of your attention on questing if you really meant to do them all...

So we consider this to be a work-in-progress and though our intention is to make it as complete a list of Quests and solutions as we can manage, with some luck you will find that the quests here represents The Quests that you have been assigned, and the answers that you seek will unfold before you...

For Quests you got that take place in YOUR Town, you want The Big List of Goals: Town Goals...

Rewards and Structure

Goals for your Home Town tend to be rewarded mostly with XP and Simoleons, with the rare Life Point or two also appearing therein.

Prior to the Introduction of the extended Hobby system the presence of Life Points as part of the rewards scheme here represented an important element, as the increasing number of Objects and Items that require LP motivated players to seriously pursue the Goals scheme in order to obtain them.

At that point in the evolution of the game Life Points were the "rare currency" in the game, so anything you could do that had even the chance of supplying them was worth doing.

Life Points no longer occupy that position - they have been succeeded by social Points now - particularly since players can practically mint their own Life Points via the Ghost Busting Flashmob strategy of play.

Slowly forward to social Points

At first the Quests that pay off in social Points (SP) will be rather rare on the ground -- but once you get past the obligatory tutorial phase of this second and more advanced "new" quests system and then work your way through the basic quests that follow it .

Eventually you will begin to find SP rewards far more frequent -- though not as frequent or as plentiful as you might like... But considering how important social Points are for players who feel the strong desire to possess and add into their Town the Items, Houses, and Objects that can only be acquired through accumulating a large bank of SP.

Just The Goals Ma'am

To be sure that we are all on the same page you should know that the Goal / Quest System largely consists of a well structured collection of logical paths divided into two-part formula; each falling into one of six base categories or types, and these are:

Actions Goals: Send a Sim to work, start a Hobby. and other Sim Actions.

Build Goals: Complete building a Business or Industry.

Buy Goals: Purchase a specific item such as a three star stereo/bed/couch plants, etc.

Collection Goals. Collect the Tax on The Town Map, the Mailbox Reward, etc.

Completion Goals: Complete a Sim action on a certain day or time.

Relationship Goals: Get married, have a baby, make an enemy, that sort of thing.

In addition to the rewards that are declared for completing the assigned Quest / Goal, you will also earn XP / SP / LP / Simoleons in the process of fulfilling the requirements for many of the Quests / Goals.

The Goals / Quests listed below were obtained via regular Game Play, and represent the goals that were assigned to us while playing the iPad version of the game and the iPhone version.

Since the two versions of the game that we played are both iOS-based and as they both are drawn off of the same engine and data files, it is reasonable to presume that they are virtually identical when it comes to their under-the-skin elements.

Having noted that, and acknowledging that we do not have experience with either the Android or the Kindle versions - based upon posts to the official forums by users of those platforms regarding the areas of Goals and basic Game Play strategy we believe that the information below applies to all versions of the game no matter what platform they are being played upon.

The Goals are listed below by the following structure:

Quest / GOAL NAME (REWARD) OFFICIAL DESCRIPTION

The Solution to the Goal / Quest. followed by any notes that may apply if the listing is effected by Bugs or other issues in the game. Where there are alternate solutions that will be noted, and their details will follow the preferred solution.

Neighbor City Goals

Bearing in mind that the Neighbor City Goals are the primary means by which you will be acquiring SP in the game, because some of the Goals that you will be offered are directly dependent upon the available elements in your Neighbor's Town, it is possible by spending 5 LP to skip a Goal that you cannot complete due to the lack of the required elements.

For example during the writing of this major guide update we were assigned the Goal to Joyride on an Inflatable Toy in a Neighbor's Pool - but none of our Neighbors had that item in their Pool so we had to pay to skip it. Naturally the very next Goal we received was to Joyride on an Inflatable Toy in a Neighbor's Pool at 6 AM!

You may find that saving up LP is necessary if you are going to be obtaining the quantities of SP you will need to do things like building The Nightclub and obtaining some of the more desirable SP based Items from the store.
