Help, can't complete quest 8/18 because I have four sims in the 4 default hobbies (no piano) and can't start a new one. Is retiring a sim my only option?
Yes, you will have to retire a sim, get a piano or buy the pack that lets you start the internet hobby early.
@BlueWizardRob I was lucky i had a new sim with no hobby thank goodness because Iām not buying $350 worth of simcash to get the piano hobby!
@BlueWizardRob Why? Ginamarie was doing the writing hobby and I switched her to the internet hobby. It said her writing hobby progress would be saved. What am I missing here?š®
@BlueWizardRob Or is it that I bought that pack and that's why I don't have the Quest? I just asked Phantom to see if that's why my game crashed...because I wasn't suppose to have the quest in the first place. I am doing the hobby but I thought it was the Quest!
For me, I had to clear about 4 dozen items from my home, quit and restart my game and then it showed up. The hobby starting thing isn't a problem as long as you have more hobbies available than sims. If you have one that no sim is doing, it is easy to start a new one and the game will even save your progress in the old one.
- @PaQuilter1 you're missing that there are four no-fee hobbies, four sim slots, and no way for two sims to be in the same hobby. So if you have four sims in the basic four hobbies, you have to retire a sim or buy the piano pack to unfreeze the deadlock. I only have 3 playable sims so I'm not in the situation.
It will save your progress, however, you can't have 2 sims doing the same hobby. That means if you only have access to 4 hobbies, you will have to retire someone, manage to switch two hobbies at the same time without triggering a glitch or some other extraordinary thing. If you already had the 5th or 6th hobby available, none of this would be a problem because you would have the flexibility to switch. That is what happened when you opened the internet hobby. You had the 5th hobby which made you flexible.
- BlueWizardRob It looked like there was no other way to clear the quest without forking over some cash or retiring a Sim. So I retired one.
@thrice_great Sorry about that...I had no idea I had bought the hobby. Live and learn.š
