We prefer to create our own lists if possible and now it is :) I only used another source for day one because I didn’t have time in the morning.

Task to have 8 sims sing does not work at teen mansion. They don't all fit by mailbox. My Sim looks quite irritated about it. Here's hoping having one on another lot will work. It should as instructions don't specify all at one lot; in fact it says sims houses.

Tip for new players: when quest says place xx objects (like 10 Christmas decor)

▪︎ you don't need to buy, you can place free one from home store and it will count
▪︎ you can inventory one already in your house and replace it and it will count
▪︎ you can just inventory and place the same one over and over and it will count
▪︎ as soon as the task completes, you can inventory the item if you want, so just shove it anywhere it fits as you don't need to keep it there

(It saves me a lot of time to just place and inventory repeatedly on one lot, rather than moving from lot to lot to fit things in where I think I'll want to keep them permanently.)

I think it's the same at all the lots because only six could do it at one of the Sims Springs lots too.

When I called 10 sims to Santa's cabin, those who landed in the house wouldn't go out and shovel. I had to send them home and call them back one by one and assign them a snow pile before calling the next one.

For whatever reason I called two Sims at a time and could start right away.

I wanted to leave a couple there over night, thinking they could read in the cozy living room. But no, the snow mounds are still there, so they still can’t get in :shock: I skipped the waiting time so I could see if they’ll be gone for the next day. Fortunately they will!
As I’m not in hurry I downloaded my fresh backup :)
