Okay I figured it out. I had to find a new sim that neither of my sims were friends with, make friends with them then pick a new story. Phew, that was hard to do. lol

The quest is quite hard and hard to finish if your not 1/2 way through already. there are 7-8 hour events

Well I have yet to finish an actually challenge. lol I refuse to spend real money on them - I spend enough dough on the PC game. So if I miss out, oh well. No harm, no foul. :D

Earring the right to purchase the green screen for $100 is NOT a reward. The money grab is seriously a turnoff in this game.

True. I agree with you. But let's try to keep this thread on track and not derail it. :)

I feel the same way about this quest :)

I did this quest over the weekend, and wasn't on 24/7. With the 7 hr tasks, just use up your energy, then go back in an hour or two and use it up again, and so on until the task is finished. With three sims, I could do family/hobby events simultaneously, which helped a lot. But I agree, it's a lot to ask of people in three days, and you should be able to start the quest whenever, rather than just these three days, like the Honeymoon Suite one, which I haven't done yet because I haven't been able to have two sims to work on it over a concentrated weekend.

I have failed the honeymoon quest 3 times. I dont want to spend money to skip. I am on level 13 of 18 in Internet Icon quest with a little over 1 day left. Idk why I keep trying.

Just got to the second 7hr task in this quest. How are you supposed finish this quest in the time allocated? You might as well say that’s the 2 days over, unless you’re on here 24/7. Someone needs to be realistic and not include 7+hr tasks on short quests...are you listening development team? :/

Yeah, I made it to task 15, but at this point there's no use, because I've already completed my tasks for today, and they want you to complete yet another day. It takes seven hours just to complete a special activity. Just not enough time to finish unless you buy a ton of cake slices, or just buy the hobby. So this one gets added to me not finishing. Oh well.

I did this using three sims. I just don't have enough time. lol But I'm glad you where able to do it! Are you liking the new hobby?

I feel the same way. But I will say though it's a grind fest I have some fun. But it would be nice to complete these at your own pace.

Gee I am at the hard part where I spend eight hours waiting for my sims to finish an event. Also Izzy making clothes counts as buying them in the event. Aww I'm sorry @GoldenBuffy I kind of knew about the second daily task so I finished that one.

It's not too bad so far. I'm aiming to get to level 4 by the end of today so I can have the long shifts. I did the 'try to buy customers' thing and succeeded, and some dollar signs came out of the computer screen :)

You have just a little over a day to complete it. I made it to level 13 and doubt i will complete it in time.

I gave up. lol I uninstalled the game, yet again. But know that I most likely will reinstall it within a day or two. It is a bit addicting. Good thing everything saves to the cloud! Hopefully you will be able to complete it. I do hope I'll be able to finish at least one timed quest.

I finally completed the all the quest and unlocked the heirloom. :)

My thoughts about the whole quest was eh..

. First of all I was overwhelmed about the 8 hour events.
When you think you're done with one 8 hour event quest then another one appears. If you're not going to buy the 6.99$ Internet Icon pack then get ready for a lot grinding.

. The time limit is really short you have about 4-3 days to complete 18 parts in the quest and 6 of them are 8 hour events.

. Also the to-do list quest forces you to wait for a new day to refresh your already completed to-do list. This happens in part 10 and, part 11 is... you guessed it another 8 hours event then part 12 is a to-do list part again.

End rant.

It took me about 20 cupcakes to complete this quest and checking my phone once in awhile to use up my sims energy.

When I got the Internet Icon Hobby the story was fun to go along. Also I like that one of the risk interaction is "Try to buy followers" if you're sim fails then tomatoes get thrown at them from the computer screen, it was funny not going to lie.

At the end, The quest was eh.. needs improvements but the hobby is a nice addition to the game.

You make some very good valid points. 20 cupcakes! I think I only used 4, I guess I'm too much of a hoarder to actually part with more than that. Another reason why I most likely have such a time trying to finish these quests. LOL
