General
Q: How do I make my Sim grow or age?
A: For more information on aging Sims, please have a look at our Aging & Life Cycle FAQ.
Q: What does the "no" symbol mean?
A: This symbol (below) indicates that your Sim is not able to use the item that you have selected.
This error will usually occurr if your Sim is not the correct age to use that particular item. Try checking which tab the item can be found in. If it's usually in a tab of the Home Store for a specifc age group, your Sim will need to be that age to use the item.
Infants
Q: How can my Sims have a baby?
A: Once your Sims are married, you can purchase a crib for their home from the Home Store.
Tap the "+Sim" icon over the crib to create a baby. Once the timer has finished, you’ll be able to tap the crib again to customize your new baby Sim.
If you don't have the "+Sim" icon available, check that you haven't already reached the maximum number of Sims for your level.
If you have, you can remove an existing Sim from the Edit Sim menu (available through the Dresser/Wardrobe action).
Q: How do I get the baby bladder meter back up? Changing the baby's diaper only improves its cleanliness.
A: There is no action to bring the baby's bladder meter back up.
When the bladder meter runs low, the baby will dirty its diaper. When this happens, its bladder meter will fill and their hygiene meter will go down. You can then change the baby's diaper to increase its hygiene meter.

I have a couple of goals / quests I've finished, but they are not coming off the list and giving me new ones. At first it was the 'send three sims for a deep sleep' . I tried four different times in different ways and none of them worked. Now I'm trying to do the waterfront property quest and it told me to have a Sim play Sims on the computer which I did twice now and it's still not taking that off. What the heck am I supposed to do?

Something needs to be done about the size of the app. It's making me really mad. I've deleted all my music and over 200 pictures. I've deleted all my apps and I still do not have the room for the update. When I have an 8gb internal storage limit and all I have on it is Sims FreePlay, there is something wrong. Please fix this problem. I have many friends that wanna play and then they find out there will be no room for anything else, they don't play. It's annoying!!!!!!

Ok I just finished my quest for the patio, now when I went to the DIY home there was a patio part off the second story of the home. I want to know why can't I do that with one of my homes? I have the space. I am also getting frustrated because I am wasting a lot of money trying to figure it out. To make the patio area is very expensive and I don't want to keep adding then selling and I'm not getting back what I spent.
