Superyachts FAQ

Sul sul!

In our latest update, we’re excited to introduce our brand new 3-story Superyacht called the ‘Fantasea’! As with our first yacht the ‘Bella’, the ‘Fantasea’ will allow your Sims to live out the lifestyles of the rich and famous aboard the yacht style residential lot, this time in the beautiful waters of the Mysterious Island! Inspired by the Downtown Developer events, you’ll need to complete the tasks for the ‘Fantasea’ within the 30-day time limit to receive the glamorous template. It comes complete with luxurious black and gold styling, modern underlit yacht style seating, and a matching black and gold helicopter – a must for any wealthy sim!

To help make sure you can hit the ground running, our game team have put together this short FAQ. 

Q – What is Superyachts?

A – It’s a feature in The Sims FreePlay that allows your Sims to become a Superyachts superstar! By collecting Resources over 30 days, your Sims can collect prizes to ultimately unlock one of our two glamorous 3-story superyachts for your Sims to live in and style as their own. Our first yacht is on the waters of SimTown and is called the ‘Bella’, and our newest yacht is floating just off shore on the Mysterious Island and is called the ‘Fantasea’.

Q – How do I start Superyachts and how long do I have to complete it?

A – Before you begin the newest yacht quest, reach level 42, unlock the Mysterious Island [The Sims Freeplay- The Mysterious Island Quest – The Girl Who Games], and finish building our first yacht – the ‘Bella’. This will unlock the pier that the 'Fantasea’ is situated at. From there, find the newly marked yacht icon to start building!

Completing Superyachts without incurring any penalties, and winning the final limited time prize,  takes 30 days. You can actually take as long as you want to complete the event, however there are Major Stage Deadlines. If you do not reach a deadline before the timer expires, there is a cost to continue. However, the next deadline timer doesn’t start until you pay the cost, so it’s easy to catch up, try again, and win the 3-story luxury boat!

If you run out of time but still complete the event, you’ll receive the yacht prize - however just as a bare ship! It will be empty and ready to style however you want for your Sims to live in their new floating palace. 

Q – There are two Superyacht berths available to build, tell me about the details of each?

A –

The Bella

-          Located in the waters of SimTown

-          Start from Player Level 40

-          Modern white ship with three levels to enjoy, including a gym, roof top spa and lounge area, extra large bedrooms, spiral staircases and more.

-          Grand prize includes the ability to place indoor lighting and decorations under balconies

The Fantasea

-          Located on Mystery Island, left of the bridge - you’ll need to complete the ‘Mysterious Island Quest’ to access this Superyacht!  

-          Available from Player Level 42, but the ‘Bella’ Superyacht event must be completed first

-          Sleek black and gold design with three levels of open plan luxury living including a stylish bar, beautifully appointed cabins, an elegant dining space, and a helipad on the top deck.

-          Limited time prize includes two new helicopters to decorate with - a black one and a white one - as well as exclusive yacht style build mode items.

Q – Where is the Superyachts event menu?

A – The Superyachts menu is accessed via the Active Tasks menu, or via tapping the Superyachts menu icon in the waters where you’re building your yacht – for the ‘Bella’ that’s near the lighthouse in SimTown, and for the ‘Fantasea’ it’s by the bridge on the Mysterious Island.

Q – What’s the bar at the top of the Superyacht menu?

A – That’s the progress bar. It shows your Sim’s progress through the event towards milestone prizes and earning the new yacht!

Q - How do I progress through Superyachts?

A - To progress, your Sims need to collect Resources. Resources are made up of Shards, which up to three Sims can collect each day. The materials are wood, fiberglass and metal, and can be found at various unlocked Community Lots, including the Community Centre, Nightclub and the Park.

As your Sims collects more Resources, they get closer and closer to finishing their development and earning their 3-story yacht!

Be careful though, incomplete Resources are lost at the end of the day! The available Resource changes each day, so collect as many Shards as you can to complete Resources before the day is over.

Q - I have collected all of today's available Shards, but I seem to be blocked and can’t progress to the next day’s Resource.

A – That's correct! There are milestone prizes along the way, but you have to wait until the next day to continue your progress with the Superyachts event unless you purchase a the resource permit early.

Q - Oh no! I’m falling behind - what can I do?

A - There's a few options - Be sure to be diligent with checking in on your Sims and collecting shards as soon as they're discovered! Otherwise, you can use Social Points to collect the remaining resources for any given stage.

 Q - Who is Satsuki the Shipwright and what benefit is there to hiring her? 

A - Satsuki is an non playable character that helps you in your hunt for Resources by uncovering additional Shards every day! With her help, it's easier to build your boat and hit those milestone goals along the way. Once she is unlocked, Satsuki will assist you for up to 45 days, or until you complete the Superyachts event.

Q – Are there any milestone rewards in between the major milestone unlocks?

A - Yes! Along the event timeline you’ll notice a range of different prizes available as you progress. This includes exclusive build mode decor to style your yacht (or anywhere else!), Simoleons and LP. 

Q – What are the details about the Grand Prize?

A - By reaching the end of the event, you get given Simoleons and an empty ‘Fantasea’ superyacht!

Q – What are the details about the Limited Time Prize? 

A - If you complete the event within the time limit, you can earn the ‘Fantasea’ superyacht, completely furnished with three levels of open plan luxury living including a stylish bar, beautifully appointed cabins, an elegant dining space, and a helipad on the top deck. Your Sims can even swim in the ocean next to the boat. You also get modern underlit seating and a matching bar to place wherever you want. 

Q - If I run out of time to unlock the Limited Time Prize, what happens?

A - Never fear, Simmers! You can still receive the empty luxury boat to build on - it just comes unfurnished ready for your next dream build. 

Q - How do I find out more about Superyachts?

A - Follow The Sims FreePlay on  Twitter,  Facebook, and Instagram for updates and news.

Good luck and have fun, Simmers!
