Rocket Science Career
I just finished the first 2 careers on the Waterfront. I noticed a new career was added: Rocket Science. I can’t seem to find it. How do I access the career?
Forum Discussion
You can unlock the career with a limited time quest. The first thing is to complete a quick chat with a sim (approx. 1 hr without cupcakes), then there is a 19 part quest which must be completed in 4 days. First three things are very quick, done at home, then you have to earn 650 coins. That's as far as I've got so far. Will know more in about 40 mins when I've earned enough.
Edit: part 5 - tap on a park bench and look at sky
part 6 - complete a Llamazoom van
Yeah...but I’m nowhere near finish tho, still stuck on one of the LlamaZooms 😢
Btw try not to collect your LlamaZoom rewards early cos we have to-do 5 LlamaZooms for this quest. Here is a complete list of the Rocket Science Career Quest (via TSMC FB/Discord):
It's past 10 am where I am an still no quest
@Fuzzernutter Hope you have now or soon, In U.K. quest started countdown 10am this morning as just got in and seen this and already 6 hours gone from countdown to start! List of what you have to do Above and real time issues with 8 hour tasks and lamaquest timings. You can double up yr sims to reduce from 8 to 4 hours but typical EA tight deadlines to fit around real life and disturbed sleep for a couple of nights! Oh well, as they say,”no pain, no gain”. Glad I saved my cakes up LOL! Happy playing all
@SaphireandSteel Thanks I got it. No sure I want to spend 8 hours on all these tasks. I'm beginning to really dislike this game
I'm at task 9 and it's 3 h 48 m. Task 7 was also 3 h 48 m. With 2 cupcakes will take 1 h 51 m.

Same. It is well past 11 and no quest.
@BlueWizardRob Mine seems to turn up late . Go look at the quest . hours upon hours (rolls eyes)

Yep guys and gals there’s a lot of multitasking for this one and probably for the next career they launch, was it a dance instructor at wellness centre?
Well this showed up too. Considering how flippin long it’s going to take, it might just be easier to buy it out right.
So Transparent, EA 🤦🏻♀️
@katclawsx3 Lucky you that your store even shows up. I don't get any updates from the store unless I uninstall and reinstall the game.
I'm almost at teh point of uninstalling and quit playing. The new updates overall are not for the better. The game is no longer any fun. Spending hours and hours completing things!
@Fuzzernutter@BlueWizardRob@katclawsx3it took me forever to get the quest! Over and over again I kept taking a Sim to the Science center and nothing! Then after a very glitchy day I was just about to give up when a star showed up! The game gave me money, I guess for the inconvenience. LOL if that’s the case.... you do the math!
LOL @SaphireandSteel I need a very special dance center for my girls, girls, girls! I have a lot of girls and they should be lucky to get a dance center!
@JulesDarling Haz posted a list of how many hours this quest takes. EA want you to spend money to complete it or buy the heirloom from the store. If you just started you might not complete it. I'm really not enjoying this game anymore. I don't want to spend hours and hours and hours on the quest and I'm not spending 10 USD for one career when you can buy the sims 4 with EPs and will still wind up cheaper than this game and with slightly more to do.

@JulesDarling Here is how many hours you need to complete this quest!!! Check page 2. The list would not copy when I quoted Haz post

oh yeah this happened with Iconography and photography hobbies, I started quest and then 24hours later on and well into quest an update came along to buy pricy packages which included heirloom to enable the hobbies straight away.... well No sign of it yet but theirs a thought....... otherwise I guess it’s wait for the heirloom to see if it shows up when retiring a sim..... a bit like the hot dog suit........
@SaphireandSteel I do not get updates from the store since the patch before the waterfront patch. If I want any new items from the store I have to uninstall and reinstall the game to get any store updates . Something I am not going to do. EA needs to fix this already. The quest is too long . If I don't finish Oh well. Don't care anymore. I guess I won't have the new career. The only reason I still play is for the parties. I don't enjoy anything else in this game

You can play the sims 4 and overall get all this cheaper and with more game play. The quests are too long in mobile. The rewards are not worth it in this game. Every time they add new gameplay it seems to be for the worse. I do not like these Lama quests. The to do list was better. I can't stand the surprising choices. etc. They still have junk in izzy's store no one wants. Nothing like getting something pretty with dirt attached to it.

ITA. I’m really disappointed in the direction this game is going.
There was so much potential, but now it just feels like a big cash grab.
I’m sure EA won’t do anything to change it, since they will just pull in new players with new pocketbooks. Sad, really.
I might have to look into sims 4 or one of the other Tried & True sims games
At the bottom off your list, I noticed it says that the 8 hour quests get cut in half if you use 2 sims. Can you explain that? Do I start the event with one sim and then have another sim do it too?

I wondered about that too, It says another ACTIVE sim. ?
I thought it meant to use only your playable sims & not a sim contact or a any of your npc sim relatives.
Hope someone can clarify.
I decided to start on this only to get waylaid by the stupid stupid utterly stupid LlamaZoom. I had a single task left (A Standard Shift) one and didn't realize that it would end about 10 minutes too late or I would have gotten some energy and completed it. So, bye Emily and now I have to wait and do an entire whole new set of tasks if I want to progress. The LlamaZoom should not be part of this because it's completely random and as such there is no way to guarantee that everyone has an equally fair chance (that is, of people who have already been playing and not new players starting behind).
@wonderwomantbh the way they have this rigged you might as well not sleep if you want the new career or drop $10 USD. This is the worst quest yet.

@wonderwomantbh. I share your pain & frustration & LOLing over the stupid stupid utterly stupid llama zoom comment
(hope you don’t mind if I use it)
@Fuzzernutter Between using Extra Cupcakes for Energy or the. Stupid Stupid Utterly Stupid Surprising Choices
I Completely agree that EA has us cornered — we’re going to pay one way or another
@Fuzzernutter No, you're completely right. I also play Sims Freeplay (which is outsourced I believe) and some of the events are pretty rigged to make you use up the various currency in it or else figure out a way (like paying) to get more currency - if you value your sleep - but since playing this game, the SFP events don't seem so harsh in comparison. I've managed many of them within the time allotted without paying a dime and they get repeated fairly regularly so I don't feel AS upset if I miss out the first time around (and because there are so many, it's also a matter of never feeling like I'm missing out if I do miss out because something else will come along to participate in). (And because of this, I'm more inclined to buy stuff I really want when they pop up in the store, which is how it should work; less pressure = better customer relationship.)
@katclawsx3 At least I guess there's something to be said for bonding over an annoying game 😛 And LOL thanks! You may use it all you want (and I see you did and I'm loving it because I totally agree! The Surprising Choices are equal in their utter stupidity! This game definitely feels more and more like a "pay to play" game by the day.
