The Sims Social Happy New Year Missions Guide

Not many things happened in The Sims Social lately, but now we have a new series of missions to complete, the Happy New Year Missions that I am sure you'll love because they also mark the end of the year and the beginning of the new one.



However, completing the New Year missions in The Sims Social won't be too easy because of the requirements - and we only have 6 days to complete all the quests in the series, but I am sure that you'll do your best and hopefully the details about the missions that are posted below will help you even more!

Happy New Year Part 1
- E-mail a Sim to tell them that you are helping them find their lost items (use a Computer)
- Look for 5 lost items at Sims houses by checking living room or kitchen items

Happy New Year Part 2
- Become Inspired
- Mail one of your resolutions with friends
- Tell 2 different friends about resolutions

Happy New Year Part 3
- Pick Healthy food options from 5 different fridges or cooking items
- Start to get fit by using Karate Mat 3 times
- Tell 4 different Sims that you work out

Happy New Year Part 4
- Have 8 Goodwill
- Click on PC and send E-cards
- Do something friendly for 5 different Sims


Happy New Year Part 5
- Play Prank on 4 different friends
- Ask friends for 8 greasy food
- Have or equip Sim with Slob trait

Well, as I said, it's not the easiest mission series that we've received in the Sims Social (it actually seems like one of the most difficult ones in recent times), but we have to work hard to finish the Simyear in style!

Sims Social Inspirational Homes: Ellie's House

Except for being a charmingly beautiful Sim, Ellie is also a great designer - at least when it comes to developing her own dream house in the game. With 5 spacious rooms and a dream yard, Ellie's Sims Social house is cool, clean and truly inspirational. And you can see it in the image below since she decided to share it with us!

Three New Christmas Crops Released in The Sims Social

There are three brand new crops that we can start planting in The Sims Social and at least one of them seems like the best thing ever because it also rewards us with three extra energy every time we harvest! I am sure that you're really curious to find out all the details about the new Christmas crops released in The Sims Social, so let's get it started!



Lettuce
Costs 8 Simoleons to plant, is ready in 30 minutes and rewards us with 55 Simoleons. Probably the one that we'll ignore because of the following crops which have a lot better rewards.

Energy Flower
Costs 23 Simoleons to plant, is ready in 1 Day and gives 78 Simoleons and 3 energy. A great way to start the day harvesting this Energy Flower!

Winter Pine
Costs 21 Simoleons, is ready in 16 Hours and gives 157 coins and 1 Ornament ingredient. I guess it will be really hard for us to decide which of these crops to plant.

My favorite of these three new crops remains the Energy Flower. What about you? Which do you like the most and which will become your number 1 crop to plant in The Sims Social?

The Sims Social Starts Dropping in the Charts of the Most Popular Facebook Games

November was not a good month for The Sims Social, even though the game's problem were not as big as they used to be and the freebies kept finding their way to our homes. However, despite the positives, The Sims Social started to sink a little bit in the most popular Facebook games chart and here is how things stand:

- In terms of Monthly Active Players, The Sims Social fell to number three, half a million behind FarmVille which managed to get an impressive 500,000 extra new players recently (probably due to the release of the Winter Wonderland).
- In terms of Daily Active players, things are even worse, with The Sims Social falling to number 5 behind 5 new Zynga games, including the recently launched CastleVille which is riding really high at the moment.

Here is a chart, courtesy of AppData:


What do you think is the possible explanation for the drop in Sims Social players?

Start Preparing a Cozy Winter Retreat in The Sims Social

No matter if you've been naughty or nice this year, Playfish and Santa Claus will certainly visit you in The Sims Social, but it's up for you to prepare a Cozy Winter Retreat in the game and decorate your Sims Social house for Christmas.

There are a ton of new items released in the market to use as decorations for the perfect Christmas home in The Sims Social and even old items can be used to make the design work. All you need is a good vision and some time to make it happen. Below are a bunch of items that have been released in the game to help you build a Cozy Winter Retreat in The Sims Social (inspirational hose designs are coming soon):

If you decide to create a beautiful, funny or original house for Christmas in The Sims Social and you'd like to share the results with the world, don't hesitate to send me a screenshot (or more) of your home over at simssocialinfo@gmail.com and I will gladly post it here on The Sims Social blog!

What's Inside the Sims Social Mystery Box?

The Sims Social has received a new item in the market - the Mystery Box, and I am sure that you're wondering what is inside this mystery box. Luckily for you, I have these details and I'm ready to share them with you, but first we should read and learn a few more things about the Sims Social Mystery Box filled with Christmas surprises.

First of all, you can purchase Mystery Boxes in three quantities: 1 for 15 Sim Cash, 5 for 75 and 10 for 150. So unfortunately, there is no discount for purchasing more, which seems a little strange. Next, about the rewards: all are given randomly, meaning that you can find inside the Sims Social mystery box any of the items listed above and you can even find the same item more than once - it all depends on your luck!

Now here is the list of items that can be found inside these new Sims Social Mystery Boxes:

Common rewards (most likely to be found):

- Winter Lights Holiday Tree (market value of 19 Sim Cash, Gives 2,800 House value)
- Winter Lights Bare Tree (market value of 19 Sim Cash, gives 2,800 house value)
- Pine Cone with Holly (market value of 6 Sim Cash, gives 900 house value)
- Blue Winter Bush (market value of 6 Sim Cash, gives 900 house value)
- Snowy Winter Berry Bush (market value of 5 Sim Cash, gives 750 house value)
- Simple Winter Tree (market value of 5 Sim Cash, gives 750 house value)

Uncommon rewards (slimmer chances to get them):

- SparkleDeer (market value of 35 Sim Cash, 5,150 House Value)
- SparkleBear (market value of 35 Sim Cash, 5,150 House Value)
- Mr Robin's Mailbox Home (market value of 25 Sim Cash, 3,700 House Value)

Rare Rewards:

- Winter Lights Luxury Gazebo Bet (market value of 149 Sim Cash, 22,000 House Value)
- Winter Lights Garden Bench (market value of 49 Sim Cash, 7,250 House Value)
- SparkleTree (market value of 39 Sim Cash, 5,750 House Value)

It is true that there are some really nice rewards, but with the common rewards that we have at lower prices than the cost of the Mystery Box, it's really a big gamble.

Will you purchase Mystery Boxes in The Sims Social in hopes of being rewarded with the better value items?

Rumor Mill: Sims Social Christmas Mastery Skills Coming Soon

It appears that Playfish and Electronic Arts are preparing a lot of surprises to Sims Social players just in time for Christmas, and one of these surprises might be the introduction of Mastery Skills and Mastery Items that are of course holiday themed.

Rumor has it that these mastery skills will be related to the Christmas celebrations themselves and will include a social version of the Christmas Tree: we'll receive a basic tree at first and then work our way up by watering it and interacting with neighbors to turn it into the most beautiful Christmas Tree any Sim has ever seen (now try saying that fast!)

This is indeed really exciting and we can't wait to be able to give you some more and detailed information about the Christmas Mastery SKills and items in The Sims Social, so stay tuned with us!
