Finally finished the whole 6 day quest without the use of LPs speeding. One has to both be a night owl & an early bird to catch up. Fortunately I can be both.

I did the last task of celebrating at a house instead of the park. It' still works. The task is for 2 hours but it instantly finishes once the 4th sim joins in.
What cracks me up is the expressions & actions of all 4 sims.

Where's the Joy of Celebration? I already saw a previous post of 1 sim kneeling, head bend down & hands on the face. But struck me as peculiar is all 4 sims are acting so angry & despairing. That's celebrating??? FM must be expecting simmers to be in that mood for all the glitches that happens in this quest. :lol: :lol: :lol:

After six days listening the same song every day all day long, the sims finally could stop the music. Sure it's time to celebrate. If only the "very special song" would have been different ... :roll: ... :D
For sure, I did understand my sims ^^

It sounded like a Simlish version of Jingle Bells to me.

I found a link to the song on youtube: ok apparently I can't post the link because I'm probably too new on this forum. But search jingle bells sims freeplay if you like and it comes up in youtube ;)


It was this song on continuous repeat. And at first I thought it was wonderful but by the end of the second day I had had enough of it, in despair like my sims as well :lol:

I was wondering about why they were so upset too, since I play with the sound off. The the simlish gibberish and noise they make are extremely annoying to me, and I usually listen to my own music on my iPad when playing.

Wondering when the next hairstyles quest will start now. I just saw a spoiler on FB that looks like at least one of them will include a grey option! I hope it's true.

When I read the first post about upset sims, I switched the sound on, so I could listen. Well, first it was okay :)

Here is the link to the song on youtube: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=EPWdYdWIw80

So this short jingle bells song is the song that was played by that capsule in the park all week long?
I can imagine that I wouldn't want to listen to this song all those days! :lol:

What kind of celebration is this? It is more like worshipping... Maybe it is the retro way of admiring new hair styles :lol:
It took me awhile to figure out what was going on, too! The music playing out of the radio is what was coming from the Christmas card that our sims were trying so hard to turn off. They are in despair! The bits and pieces I've read of the quest seemed pretty cute, shame I was too annoyed by the quick turnaround to bother reading it all. :roll:
Before the event was over I did the quest on a game that I don't usually play. The quest was cute...ish. I think the toddler playhouse quest is still the cutest!
