The Sims Social Land Expansions Guide Here

Hello, fellow Sims Social players! Playfish has decided to bring some happiness to our virtual Sims Social homes by unlocking a series of Land Expansions in the game, after teasing the new feature just a couple of days ago. I am sure you are curious to find out everything there is to be known about the Sims Social Land Expansion, so read on in this article for a complete guide.

The land expansions available in the game will be introduced to you by a simple mission, Landing Party:

There is a total of 9 land expansions available for us to purchase, and you will see the "For Sale" sings surrounding your house:

Clicking on any land parcel that you wish will bring up the purchase menu and you'll see the requirements for your purchase. In the case of the first land expansion, it costs you 2,000 Simoleons, 3 Contracts and 1 Signature (for these later two items, you will need to ask your friends):

However, don't you think that for all land expansions, the same requirements will apply. As you purchase more land expansions, their prices will increase, so start gathering as many Contracts and Signatures as possible in The Sims Social!

So here we have it - Land Expansions are finally available in The Sims Social. Are you happy about the release or you were expecting something different, maybe?

Two More Sims Social Home Designs for Inspiration

I am really happy that we've already received a couple more home designs for Sims Social players to use as inspiration and I am going to share them both with you in this article. I guess that you simply know that a game is extremely well made when so many design options are available. Even though basically most of the items in the homes we've got are the same, they can be placed and designed in such a way to create completely unique houses. And I guess that is one of the main reasons that make The Sims Social such an inspiring and successful game!

But enough chatting, let's start by checking out the amazing Sims Social home of Mila Hathaway who knows how to live like a star:

An now, an elegant and minimalistic Sims Social home design from joeahlfs:

Sims Social Tips: Reviving 10 Plants for Completing the Mission

For the Need to Know mission in The Sims Social, one of the requirements is to Revive 10 Plants and everybody is complaining that it's really difficult to find neighbors with withered plants to revive. However, I am here to share with you a very simple trick that will certainly help you complete the mission faster:

If friends revive your own plants, they count towards the quest's limit, so there's no point in searching for dead plants at your neighbors', but instead let yours die and wait for your friends to revive them.

Also, if you have some real friends playing the game, you could talk to them and ask them to plant some plants and let them die, just for you to revive. This way, you will finish the Revive 10 Plants mission even faster.

The Sims Social Stuck at 65%, Hit a Snag and Not Loading Errors Return

Today is not the happiest day in the Sims Social history as two new errors make a massive comeback to the game, making it impossible for many gamers to load the game. The errors that we're talking about are already famous ones:

- the game gets stuck at 65% during the loading screen and no refresh seems to solve things
- the game gets "We've Hit a Snag" error message during the loading screen and enters a loop that repeats the same message over and over again and it makes it impossible for people to load the game.

It appears that there are no official fixes for these two errors that make The Sims Social unplayable, but some players report that cleaning the cache of their browsers and reloading the game did the trick and they never had the problem again. So it would be best to try that for yourself.

Also, switching between browsers (so switch to Chrome if use use Firefox or vice-versa) might do the trick.

If not, we can only hope that Playfish finds a fix and applies it as soon as possible...

What about you? Did you have problems with loading the Sims Social recently?

Like A Good Neighbor

10 Ways On How To Be Your Friend's Favorite Neighbor

Hi, all!  I'm Coz and I'm delighted to now be contributing to The Sims Social Info. You may have seen my house in a recent posting.  Of course, it's changed a bit over the last 24 hours as I'm constantly tinkering with things, but it's still basically the same.

For my first article, I'd like to point out some tips on how to be a good neighbor in The Sims Social.  They're important to remember because you need your neighbors to be good as much as they need you.

Now, I know some of these things can only be achieved if you have the money to do so (like having a couch), so just keep them in mind for when you are in the position to follow them.

1. Have a couch in front of your TV (Also, have a TV)
   I can't tell you how many times I've tried to interact with my neighbors by watching TV with them only to find out they don't have enough room for the both of us to sit down on.  This also became pretty frustrating when, during a quest, I needed to watch TV with 6 friends.  This quest would have never been achievable if they didn't have a TV or the couch for us both to sit on.
2. Have a radio
   This gives your friends the ability to dance with you and the more things you can do with your neighbors when you come over to visit, the less boring it gets.  Be sure to put it in a place that two people can stand close to, too… which brings me to #3...
3. Be aware of your interactive objects' surroundings
   Don't place a canvas or musical instrument in between two other items.  Your friends will not be able to paint a portrait of you or play for them.  I have not been able to figure out which side needs to be open.  It may differ for each thing (which seems like a bug to me). It seems in some places, I can't paint someone's portrait if the left side is blocked but at another friend's house, I can. So leave both sides open, if you can.  On a similar note, make sure your couch has enough room to walk around it.  And finally, make sure anything you have that can break has one side open so you or your friend can repair it.
4. Have a bare counter in the kitchen
   If you're going to have an oven, leave a counter-top bare.  This will not only help you with your cooking, but also allow your friends to cook you things while they're visiting.
5. Be aware of your doorways
   Make sure all your doorways are usable and you don't have anything in the way of them.  Also, make sure you HAVE doorways to all your rooms.  I had this one friend who made his front door lead into a room with nowhere to go and flowers blocked the pathways to anywhere else outside, too.  I couldn't interact with him for days.  Then I finally told him about it.
6. Have garbage cans and/or trash bins
   They seem pretty useless at first, but part of my daily 5 ritual (when using up my 5 daily bonus energy on my friends) is to rummage through their garbage cans.  This gives me 10 XP, 5 Simoleons, and sometimes an Energy bolt.
7. Let your romantic friend Woohoo! you
   If someone wants to Woohoo you, why wouldn't you do everything possible to allow them to?  Am I right?!  So if you have a romantic relationship with a friend, make sure your bed is big enough for the both of you.  You can still Woohoo in the shower or tub, but y'know… sometimes we need a soft place we can bounce on.  (I've never had this problem because I've always had a full-size bed, but I heard this was an issue.  If Woohoo'ing is not a problem on a single bed, then disregard this)
8. Help them complete quests
   You'll really be appreciated when you have these other items, which will help them complete quests… even if you have no use for them.
   • Mirror: A necessity for a quest.  Your friends will appreciate that you have a mirror they can use, even if you never use it.
   • Phone: Also needed to complete some quests which require making phone calls.  It's nice to go over and use free energy on a friend's phone.
   • Garden plots: They will help your friend when they're sent on quests to water and/or revive crops.
9. Keep up your end of the relationship
   Relationships are a two-way street in real life, just as they are in The Sims Social.  If I'm spending my daily 5 on you and you're not spending them on me, then our relationship begins to deteriorate pretty quickly.  Ever get those reminders pop up from your friends saying they haven't seen you in awhile and our relationship status is grey and dropping?  But you were just over there yesterday?  Yeah.  It's not your fault.  I'm currently trying to keep 4 or 5 friendships afloat all by myself right now and I'm sure it's because they're not coming over to spend time with my Sim.  tsk tsk tsk.
10. Let them know you've visited
    OK!  So now that you're keeping up your end of the relationship and visiting your neighbors every day, it gives you the option to tell your friend that you've visited… do it!  You give them money and stuff!  Don't you like when your friend does that for you?  :)

That's all for now!  Be sure to leave your tips in the comments below if I missed anything.  They may even end up in the inevitable part 2 to this article. 

Now let's get ready for that land expansion which appears to be coming any day now.

The Sims Social House Design: Coz Baldwin's House

I didn't pay too much attention to the walls of my Sims Social house until now, but after seeing Coz Baldwin's amazing house, I realized how much I was missing and the real need to actually invest in my walls' beauty :) But enough about me, check out Coz Baldwin's dream house from The Sims Social, a home where you can find almost everything, minus the new aquarium and perhaps the expensive electric piano. Which are planned to be purchased and maybe already purchased.

If you think that you have a nice house design that could be featured on The Sims Social Info, don't hesitate to send us an e-mail with the pictures at simssocialinfo@gmail.com . And also, don't forget to like our Facebook page!

Land Expansions Might Be Coming Soon to The Sims Social

Initially, it seemed that we had all the space in the world for our houses in The Sims Social but now, after getting more money in the game and building up the rooms, things are different. So it hasn't been long before The Sims Social players started to ask for some land expansions. But nobody actually expected them to be released so soon. At least this is what a few hints suggest.

First of all, we have one announcement made by The Sims Social development team themselves: "We're going to be adding something very cool that will help you build your dream home. What do you think it could be?"

And the obvious question would be land expansions (although some people are still thinking that we're talking about a second level added to the house). Still, our friend Coz Baldwin noticed a thing we missed:

You can now move around the "out of bounds" area a lot more? Unless I've just not taken notice to it up until now, perhaps they're gearing up to finally release some extra land to us to build on.

And this might indeed be the case. What do you think, though? Will be land expansions coming soon to The Sims Social or the developers were maybe talking about something else?

More Sims Social Item Stacking Madness

I guess you already know about the possibility to stack items in The Sims Social in the most absurd or funny manners since I've already shared a few images with funny stacking, but I guess that we can never have enough Item Stacking and that's exactly what our dear reader Kenn Kusumanegara thought, so he sent us his Item Staking pictures, with details about each of the images below. So check them out below!

Images 1, 2, 3: flying thingies (can only be done on more-than-2-square items like this: I put my, say, keyboard on 2 tables side by side, then move one of the tables on top of the other one. I'll have a keyboard standing on either left or right of its side on 2 stacked tables. Then, i click on my keyboard and rotate it until it goes 'green' (it needs 2 empty spaces below my keyboard in order to work, no other items or a wall) This sometimes work, but sometimes don't, so i guess luck plays a role here)

Image 4: Guitar singing on the Fridge. Just stack as many and place an item above

Image 5: 'Hovering' or floating coffee machine: I put the coffee machine on a table, and put a mat / rug right under the table. then, I click on the mat and move it. The coffee machine will move away from the table, but stays above the mat.

Image 6: Another Sims Social bug, but i have no idea how my friend managed to do this.

Also, many other Country themed items have been released for the other areas of the house and I invite you to check them out below!

Get Yourself a Nashville Look in The Sims Social with New Clothes

There's a bunch of new items of clothing available in The Sims Social, the Nashville themed clothes that you can start purchasing for your Sim if you want to go for a Nashville look: comfortable and with brown-gray colors.

In order to check out the new clothing theme, just click on the Clothes button and then select the "Special" option. There are six new clothing items to choose from but, as you can see in the image below, they are all (except for the new hair style) available for Sim Cash only:

As you can see, I am a he-Sim in the game and therefore I don't have access to the female Nashville themed Sim Clothes, but if you do and want to share them with the other Sims Social players, you could send them over via e-mail at simssocialinfo@gmail.com

What do you think about this new theme? Will you buy these clothes for your Sim?

The Sims Social Insane Trait Improved, Must Have!

The Insane Trait in The Sims Social was a pretty interesting one and probably the most discussed Sims Social Trait because it was modified by the developers: initially, Insane Sims were able to talk to plants at no energy cost - which in turn increased the Social of the Sims. However, pretty soon Playfish and Electronic Arts have decided to make the "Talk to plants" option cost 1 energy, therefore making this trait a little less useful.

However, today Playfish announced that new changes have been made to the Insane trait: even though the energy cost for talking to plants remains, if you manage to upgrade the Insane trait all the way to level 4, you will be able to Talk To Yourself, an action that costs no energy and improves both you Social and the Food needs. Which makes the Insane Trait one that you should really have!

What do you think about the Insane trait and the bonuses it gives?

The Sims Social Problem: Can't Become Totally Inseparable with Other Sims

One of the known problems of The Sims Social is that one which makes it impossible for sims to become totally inseparable with other Sims in the game. This is due to a bug that makes it impossible to send the request (aka the request is lost somewhere along the way).

So don't be scared too much if you can't get to Totally Inseparable with other Sims in The Sims Social: it is a known issue and Electronic Arts is working to find a way to fix it. However, unfortunately, at the moment there is nothing you can do to make it work.

But make sure that you like the Sims Social Info on Facebook to be kept up to date with the latest news in The Sims Social, including the fix for this problem!

Complete Guide to Sims Social Skills and Levels

There are a lot of skills in The Sims Social which can be obtained by interacting with different objects. So even if you feel that sometime you get stuck and it appears impossible to further increase your skill, that is probably incorrect and you only need to find the correct item to interact with (usually purchasable from the market). However, in order to help you with this guessing thing and give you a chance to actually do things easier, forum user Aqua_Yurika has decided to create a complete guide to Sims Social Skills and Levels and, of course, the items to interact with. Before checking out the guide itself, we should read the following notes:

NOTE: Currently, all skills level can only be leveled up to 84/85. If you want to go higher, you have to spend SIMCASH/real money/facebook credits.

NOTE 1: If you know for sure that you won't be able to unlock the next level, don't level up all your skills. Ex: You're at level 50, the next skill to unlock is level 55, and you don't have enough ingredients for 5 whole levels (or 2, if you have a x2 and x3 skills left) --> Don't level up. I'm noting this because sometimes you may get a quest that asks you to do a writing action or something, or get a level up, and you have nothing left to do.

Now let's start with the guide to the Art Skill (click the images to enlarge):

Let's continue with the cooking skill in Sims Social:

Time to move to the Music Skill:

And finally, the Writing Skill in The Sims Social:

Cheers to Aqua_Yurika for creating these amazing guides to the Sims Social skills and levels!

How to Save The Sims Social Game Progress

As you probably know already, there is no "Save" button in The Sims Social and the progress of your game is saved automatically by the game. But you probably also know that it happens every now and then to quit the game only to return and see that your progress was not saved. Fortunately, I found a way for you to work around this small problem and save your progress in The Sims Social.

This is what you need to do to save your game: simply visit a neighbor (must be different than the last one you've visited) and the game will save automatically. So if you finish a quest, for example, and visit another neighbor, your progress will be saved by The Sims Social and you shouldn't have any unpleasant surprises when you return!

The Sims Social House Design: Fernanda's Home

It's time to check out once more another inspirational and amazing house design in The Sims Social and this time we're presenting you Fernanda's house. Here is what the maker herself has to say about this nice looking home:

"I'm sending you guys the screenshot of my house. It may not have all the content in the world, but it has some tips on organizing stuff, like stacking the coffe table on the kitchen counter, or using the cookbook sideways."

The Sims Social Becomes Second Most Played Game on Facebook

I don't know if Electronic Arts were expecting it when they released The Sims Social on Facebook, but it just happened: The Sims Social has just become the second most played game on Facebook and it continues to grow, threatening the number 1 position which is held for some time now by Zynga's CityVille. According to AppData, The Sims Social now has over 10 million active daily players, while CityVille has a bit over 13 million.

It's really interesting to see that FarmVille only has 7.7 million active daily players, while Empires and Allies has a bit over 6 million.

The Sims Social does great in terms of Monthly Active Users, with 40 million people playing EA's social game, but here CityVille is still a long way ahead with 75 million monthly players.

However, it's the daily active players who matter because these are actually the hardcore players and we can see that The Sims Social does extremely well in this area. Who would've thought it?

Are you glad to know that The Sims Social is close to becoming the most popular game on Facebook?
