The Sims 4‘s upcoming expansion pack, Adventure Awaits, focuses not only on getaways for Sims of all ages but imaginary friends that appear in a Sim’s younger life stages. While some imaginary friends only remain with a Sim when they’re young, there are Sims that connect with them on a deeper level, and in these cases, it can be sad to say goodbye.
To prepare fans for the next Sims 4 EP pack and give fans more information on how to keep imaginary friends around for longer, EA has released the Forever Friends event, filled with fun rewards and quests on these themes.
How to Complete A New Journey Quests in The Sims 4
Here is the first set of Week 1 Quests in the Forever Friends Sims 4 event:
Buy a New Stuffed Animal
Buying a stuffed animal is a crucial part of this event, as most of the Week 1 quests require this type of toy. In The Sims 4, stuffed animals can be found in the Toys section of the Kids items tab in Build Mode. Any of the large, sitting plushies will count as stuffed animals for the quest. If players are having trouble finding one, they can simply get Pixel The Friendly Bear, which is the login reward for the Forever Friends Quest.
Have a Child Hug the Stuffed Animal
While the quest description asks the player to get a child Sim to hug the stuffed animal, this can be done with any Sim. To complete this quest, players simply have to interact with the stuffed animal that they just obtained and select Hug.
Toddlers must have Communication Skill Level 2 in order to be able to hug a stuffed animal.
Place a Stuffed Animal Near a TV
Next, players have to place the stuffed animal near a TV. The objective is to get Sims to spend tons of time with their new stuffed toy. Stuffed animals are draggable items in The Sims 4, so players can simply pick it up in Live Mode and drag it onto an area with a nearby television.
Watch the Kids Network on TV
To watch the Kids Network in The Sims 4, players have to select a Sim that is a child or older, and then Watch Channel, followed by Watch Kids Network.
Buy a Toybox
Players can purchase toyboxes in The Sims 4 by going into the Toys section of the Kids menu in Build Mode.
Place a Stuffed Animal Near a Toybox
Once again, players have to drag the stuffed animal near the newly obtained toybox.
Play With a Toy From the Toybox
In The Sims 4, a toybox will come with some toys inside when obtained. Therefore, gamers only need to interact with the toybox and select Play With Toy… When the toy selection screen appears, they simply have to pick a toy in order to get their Sim to grab it and play with it.
Place a Stuffed Animal Near a Bed
Now, players have to drag the stuffed animal near a bed. Toddler beds don’t count towards this quest, so gamers will have to choose a child-sized bed or an even bigger one.
Have a Sim Sleep or Nap
To complete this last A New Journey Quest, players must get a Sim to sleep or nap on the bed with the stuffed animal nearby.
How to Complete the Friends Forever Quests in The Sims 4
The Friends Forever Quests are the second set of quests in Week 1 of the Forever Friends event for The Sims 4. Here is how to complete:
Have a Sim Eat Something
To start off their day, Sims will have to grab a bite to eat – whether that’s a foregable or harvestable in their inventory, a quick meal, or a full meal.
Use a Toilet
To ensure that their Bladder Needs are full, Sims should also use the toilet after waking up.
Buy the Kate & Berry Sweet Treats Fabricator 3000 (Bonus Businesses & Hobbies Quest)
Players with the Businesses & Hobbies expansion pack have two bonus quests that they can complete. First, they must enter Build Mode and purchase the Kate & Berry Sweet Treats Fabricator 3000. This small kitchen appliance can only be placed on tables or countertops.
Craft Candy (Bonus Businesses & Hobbies Quest)
Once they have the machine, they must interact with it and select the Craft Candy option. Any candy will do in order to complete this quest.
Ask a Stuffed Animal About Today's Adventures
Once players have gotten their Sim ready for the day, they must interact with the stuffed animal and ask it about today’s adventures. Upon talking to the toy, Sims will learn that the stuffed animal would like their memories to live on forever, but they know that they have “limited time”.
Tell An Adult About the Problem
The adult Sim will tell the player that as they get older, their interest in stuffed animals will dwindle. However, this answer is not satisfactory, and it is up to players to figure out how to get the stuffed animal to live on forever.
Draw a Plan
Child Sims can draw a plan on the kid’s activity table and older Sims, such as teens and adults, can do it using an Easel.
Share the Plan to a Stuffed Animal With a Child
Lastly, Sims have to return to the stuffed toy and tell it that they’ve come up with a plan to solve this issue.
