This wikiHow teaches you how to build up your money and Lifestyle Points (LP) in The Sims FreePlay on an iPhone or Android. The Sims FreePlay is a mobile version of the classic Sims game. Unfortunately, since The Sims FreePlay has microtransactions that use the in-game currency and LP, you cannot cheat or glitch the game to get more resources; however, there are a few strategies you can use.

Steps

  1. Inspired Sims earn more Simoleons when they complete tasks. You can inspire Sims by fulfilling their needs:
    • Select a Sim to see their needs.
    • Take note of the bars that are low.
      • Use the fridge to address Hunger.
      • Use the TV or computer to address Fun.
      • Use your pet, other Sims, or the phone to address Social.
  2. A large chunk of the day is often lost because your Sims have to rest; you can change this by allowing them to drink coffee.
    • When your Sims drink coffee, they can work through the night rather than resting.

  3. After the dog digs up Lifestyle Points, praise him so he knows that he will get praised if he digs up Lifestyle Points. This will mean more rewards for you later. You can also buy the bone for 2LP for your dog. It will get you Simoleons and LPs faster.
    • The more expensive your cat or dog is, the faster it will gather Simoleons and LP.
    • If your dog doesn't have the dig/pounce sign on it, get a toddler to play with it or an adult to praise it. Do this twice and it should run or slowly walk away. Usually this will lead it to find something, and repeating the process can get you even more stuff.
  4. When your Sims go to work, they earn money, which they keep. Similarly, when you go to work regularly, you get promoted, which will earn more Simoleons and XP after a work day.
    • Working regularly will help you achieve a large number of the goals in the game as well.
  5. When they are completed, you will earn more money depending on what you grew. Overnight, while you're asleep, have your Sims gardening (all the ones who aren't at work or busy). If you garden 7 or 8 hour crops at night, you'll wake up to lots of Simoleons and XP. Make sure they are inspired because they'll earn 1.5X the Simoleons.
    • Try planting bell pepper seeds, as bell pepper seeds are free and it only takes 30 seconds for them to grow and be ready to sell! After they are ready you can sell them for a few Simoleons.
    • Carrots are another good choice when farming Simoleons.
    • You can dedicate one lot in your town to gardening. Place at least one garden on the lot per Sim in your town, get all or most of your Sims inspired at once, and take them all to the lot to garden.
  6. Using the Competition Center is a good way to earn a few extra LP, though it will take your Sim out of play for 24 in-game hours. [1]
    • In order to ensure that your Sim will rank first at the Competition Center, be sure the hobby in which they'll compete is at level 6. Level 6 Sims won't always win, but they have the highest chance of doing so.
  7. Prompting all of your Sims to gather at their own individual ovens and cook will allow you to farm LP in waves. Since the cooking challenge awards 5 LP upon completion, this is the most efficient way to earn LP.
    • Expensive ovens are a waste of money in this context, so stick to the cheap model.
  8. When you go for a drive, it can earn you money and lifestyle points. The kind of car that you drive will determine how many Simoleons per minute you earn; for example, using a luxury (3-star) car will earn around 250 Simoleons every 2.5 minutes. [2]
  9. If you don't let the Sims go to the bathroom, they will wet their pants. Cleaning it up will earn you points. Similarly, if you shake your device, your Sims will get sick and throw up. If you clean up the vomit, you can earn points.
    • Doing this too often might make your smartphone or tablet freeze up, so use it sparingly.
  10. The Sims FreePlay Facebook page will often have special offers and giveaways. If you Like the Facebook page, you will be updated every time there is a new event. You can earn Simoleons, LP, and a variety of other items this way.
  11. Be smart about what you buy. Don't waste your money on anything you won't use. Like in real life, this habit is key to a successful budget.
    • Save items you can reuse. For example, put a cradle in the inventory once a baby is born; other couples can use it and it saves money so you don't have to buy a new one.
    • Be careful of spending real money. Don't waste your real money for Simoleons and LPs. You can earn plenty if you're patient, and spending real money on this can become a habit.
  12. If you raise your Sims FreePlay level, you will gain more lifestyle points and money. You can do this by having a very good relationship with a Sim (like being a Sim's partner or best friend) since this will earn you milestones, or doing things that take a lot of time to complete.
    • When you level up, you can build houses, businesses, and workplaces, all of which increases your land value and earns you more money.
    • Do things that take a lot of time to complete. This will earn you a lot of experience points, which helps you level up. Greater levels give you more land value, earning you money and eventually Lifestyle Points.
  13. There are a variety of goals in Sims FreePlay, involving just about every aspect of gameplay. These could involve getting your Sim a job, completing a business, collecting taxes, and more. Completing goals will earn you money, XP, and Lifestyle Points. Goals change on a regular basis, so be sure to complete as many as you can. [3]
  14. The higher the value of your town, the more Lifestyle Points you get. Raise your land value by building more houses, businesses, and workplaces. Buying expensive furniture and other items will also increase the land value for that property.
  15. You can take Sims to the Community Center (located in the upper-left side of the map) in order to complete quick XP-building challenges. This will both increase your town's property value and allow your Sims to level up quickly.

    Getting LP is hard, I need a fast and easy way (legally and normally). What can I do?
    Community Answer
    Get as many Sims as you want in the same house and get that many stoves. Get one toaster as well. Then get all the Sims to cook cheese and tomato on toast multiple times until you complete the hobby. On the first time, you will get chopping boards and after that, you will get 5LP.

    Complete the whole cooking hobby. Each time you complete the hobby, you get 5 LPs after the initial chopping boards.

  • Question
    How do I gain levels fast?
    Community Answer
    Get a Sim who isn't busy and have them cook cheese and tomato toast (requires a stove, a toaster on a countertop, and one minute of time). When they get done, have them clean up the dishes immediately, and then have them just keep cooking all the time. Have other Sims either do the same or plant things. You will eventually receive a few Simoleons and a good amount of XP if you keep it up. It is possible to go up a level and a half in just half a day doing this. Plus, it's not cheating and can't ruin your game!

      • Sims that perform a long task while you are asleep will have the same amount of health when you wake up. If you leave a character doing nothing at night, their stats will have significantly dropped in the morning.

      • Try to acquire free items and then sell them when their price appears in a subsequent update.

      • The cooking hobby earns you lots of Simoleans and LP very quickly. Have 10 ovens in a house (spaced apart with 1 countertop each), 10 sinks, and a toaster sitting on a corner countertop and blocked from being accessed. Then, have 10 sims cooking cheese and toast simultaneously, and you'll quickly level up with cooking.
      • The more expensive of a dog you buy, the more money they will dig up. Also, make sure to praise your dog or cat; the more you praise them, the more treasure they'll find.
      • When you're going off the Sims FreePlay, for sleep, work, school, or anything else, make your Sims them garden, work, or do another long task in the interim.
      • Cats find LP more often than dogs, so consider buying a cat in your game.

      Warnings

      • Hacking Sims FreePlay can result in your account getting banned. Since LP and Simoleons can be purchased with real money, glitching them into your game technically qualifies as stealing.
        Thanks

      • If you sell things, you will get 10% of what you paid and the sale will lower your town value. Instead, just keep unneeded items in your inventory.
        Thanks
        Helpful 33 Not Helpful 5
      • Don't let any Sim be unemployed. Get to work on time with satisfied needs, and eventually you will be promoted so you'll earn more Simoleons.
        Thanks

      To get more money and LP on The Sims FreePlay, inspire your Sims by fulfilling their needs, then caffeinate your Sims to give them energy and send them to work to earn money. They can also go on a drive to earn money and LP. Try to do time-consuming tasks to earn experience points so you can level up, which leads to more land value and increased LP. Then, raise your land value by building houses, businesses, and workplaces!
