The Adulthood Quest - A How-To Guide

My first Teenager to Become an Adult

With the recent update, two quests were added: the Adulthood Quest and the Senior Quest.  These updates were a long time coming.  Previously, I didn't want to have a lot of babies, because you couldn't age them past teenager.  With the limitations of the teenagers and preteens, I tended to add adults rather than have more babies when I unlocked new Sims. Now, you can age your Sims from infant to senior citizen if you choose to do so. 

The focus of this blog will be to give you step-by-step directions for completing the Adulthood Quest with a few tips along the way.  I previously wrote a blog about the Senior Quest, so once you complete the Adulthood Quest, make sure you check out my Senior Quest blog. It is impossible to complete the Senior Quest in less than 3 days (which is the amount of time they allot for it) without using over 100 LPs.  Using my guide, you can complete it in 3 days by using minimal LP.

Anyway, back to the topic at hand.  The prerequisites for the Adulthood Quest are that you complete all earlier quests, and that you are at least at Level 19.  To unlock the new garments and hairstyles, you need to complete the quest in 6 days, which is doable.

Lets take a look at each task, how to complete them, and the time needed for each.

1. Send a teenager to the park (few seconds) - Go the park and whistle over one of your teenagers.
2. Reposition pieces on the chess board (8 hours) - Go over to the chess boards, which are located northwest of the fishing pier. Click on the chess board and select the "reposition pieces" option.
3. Hide in the park bathroom (4 hours) - The park bathrooms are just to the south of the chess boards. Click on the bathroom and select the "hide" option. Note: when I did this step, the game didn't make me complete it, because it gave me credit for the goal right away.  I'm not sure if this was a glitch, but you may not have to complete it either if you get the pop-up informing you that the task is complete.
4. Call another Sim to the Park (few seconds) - Whistle an available Sim to the park.
5. Finish chess game (4 hours) - Click on a chess board and select the "finish game" option.
6. Ridicule another Sim (3 hours, 12 minutes) - Why not just 3 hours, I'm not sure. Click on a Sim and select the "ridicule" option.
7. Stare vacantly at fountain (1 day) - Click on the fountain to the right of the fishing pier and select the "stare vacantly" option.  Yes, 1 day to stare at a fountain.
8. Dance to Electronica in the park (5 hours) - Once you complete the "stare vacantly" goal, a stereo will magically appear on the fishing pier. Click on the stereo, and select the "dance to electronica" option.
9. Have 3 Sims in Park (few seconds) - Whistle Sims to the park until you have 3.
10. Complain to a Sim (1 minute) - Click on an available Sim and select the "complain" option.
11. Mock another Sim (1 day) - Click on an available Sim and select to "mock" option. Yes, an entire day to insult another Sim.  And, the worse part of this task is you have to tie up 2 Sims for a whole day to complete this goal.
12. Grill 'em all on a barbeque (8 hours for a 2 star grill) - Find your best barbeque, click on it and select the "grill 'em all" option.
13. Call a Sim to the Swim Center (few seconds) -  Note: you will want to make sure your swim center is built prior to this quest. Go to the Swim Center, and whistle over a Sim.
14. Use the slide at the Swim Center (7 seconds) - Click on the slide and select the "use slide" option.
15. Drink an energy drink at the Swim Center (30 minutes) - Click on the beverage machine and select the "energy drink" option.
16. Ridicule the trophy case (1 day) - Click on the trophy case in the Swim Center, and select the ridicule option. Is it just me, or is this Sim a bully.
17. Send your Sim home (few seconds) - Using your Sim Tracker, click on the "home" button of the Sim at the Swim Center.
18. Watch the news (3 minutes on a 3-star TV) - Click on the TV, and select the "watch news" option.
19. Confess to another Sim (30 minutes) - Click on an available Sim and select the "confess" option.
20. Clean up garbage in the park (16 hours) - Go to the park and look for the spilled garbage can.  Click on the can and select the "clean up" option.
21. Get 5 Sims dancing in the park (5 hours) - The stereo will be on the pier again.  Whistle Sims to the park until you have 5, then click on the stereo, and select the "dance" option for your first Sim, and then select the "join in" option for the remaining 4.  The good news is once you have all of them dancing, the quest is complete and you no longer have to keep your Sims dancing.

As long as you complete the quest within 6 days, you will unlock new garments and hairstyles, which you can find in the salon and the Sim wardrobe menu.

Adding the time of the tasks and not including the 5 hours for the last task, since you do not need to complete it, it will take you a little more than 5 days to complete this quest.  So, be aware that there isn't a lot of free time available and you will need to plan accordingly by not letting a lot of time lapse between tasks or you will need to use LP to finish tasks faster. If you don't finish in time, you can still complete the quest. The downside is you won't earn the extra wardrobe and hair styles.

Hopefully, this guide will help you with the quest. Please let me know if you have any questions.  Also, check out my blog about the Senior Quest.
