Sims Freeplay | Long Hair Review

After completing the Long Hair Event you gain access to 9 new long hair styles which, for me, are a welcome addition to Sims Freeplay.

Each hairstyle comes in 4 colours - black, blonde, brown and ginger.  

You can find all the hairstyles you unlock in the wardrobe, salon or create a Sim.

Let's take a look at each one.

Long shoulder pony - This is a cute simple style styled with a pale blue headband and blue hair tie. The pony sits slightly off to the side and hangs nicely over the shoulder.

Full fringe pony - I like this hairstyle and the fringe is much longer than the other hairstyle with a fringe - in my opinion this longer fringe looks much better.

Cornrows - I didn't like this hairstyle at first but it has grown on me. I do think there's not quite enough hair on the top of the head though as there are huge gaps where you can see the head.  Black is definitely my favourite colour.

Braided ponytail - One of my favourites. It definitely looks better in the lighter colours as in the darker colours you can't really tell it's a braid.

Straight over ear - I like this hairstyle in brown and black but I'm not so keen on it in the other colours.  It also looks much better from one angle than the other - the side where the hair comes in front of the ear.

Bunches - I love this hairstyle. It's more mid length than long but I think it's adorable, especially in ginger.

Low ponytail - This hairstyle kinda annoys me as I really like it but I just don't understand those little pieces that fall in front of the ear. 

Straight - This is probably the simplest of the hairstyles and probably a top 3 for me.  I like how a small section of hair comes forward in front of the shoulders and it's pretty similar to how I wear my hair most days.

Straight with bangs - I quite like this hairstyle although I do think the bangs could have been slightly longer.

Did you unlock all the hairstyles? Which one's your favourite?  

I'd love to see pictures of your Sims with their new hairstyles.  You can post them to my Facebook page - Greenoid Gemzicle's Facebook

Sims Freeplay Long Hair Event Is Back Again!

It's coming back again! For anyone who didn't get the event before or is newer to the game, now's your chance to get 9 new long hairstyles for your Sims. 

The event originally came out back in August 2014 and was released again in March 2015 and it's making a welcome return on Monday 20th July 2015.

For those who don't know what the heck I'm talking about, check out my original Ringlets Of Fire post.

This one definitely requires some perseverance as you have to complete the Fashion Designer hobby collection 9 times to win all the hairstyles.

My tips for collecting all the hairstyles

• start preparing now - get at least one Sim at level 6 Fashion Designer so it will be easier to fill the grid.  Although I would recommend getting a few up to level 6 to make it easier.
• During the event use as many Sims as you can to do the Fashion Design hobby.
• Choose the 'Design Fashion' selection for 10 mins over and over again.
• Have multiple Fashion Design studios set up in one house.

Good luck! Let me know how you get on.

Sims Freeplay | Ringlets Of Fire Quest

The Ringlets Of Fire Quest was originally available on 21st August 2014 but it is now back for a limited time! 7th - 14th March 2015. It is for all those players who didn't manage to complete it the last time round or, if like me you've restarted your game or weren't playing back in August.

The quest unlocks 9 styles of long hair which are a really nice addition to the collection so I'd definatly recommend completing this task - although it's not going to be easy. To win each hairstyle you have to complete the fashion hobby - that means 9 hairstyles, 9 completed fashion hobby collections. Yeah, you heard that right, 9 times within the 7 day limit!

If you already have a Sim at level 6 fashion designer this is definately going to help you as you won't need to wait for the various designs to become unlocked.

I'd recommend having multiple Fashion Design Studios in one house and just completing the 10 minute option over and over.

To begin this quest you first need to click on the 'Yes' on the pop up that will appear, then you can get started.

There are a few things you need to do before you start creating fashion designs. Here's the task list:

Talk to a Sim - 1 minute

Spot long haired Sims on T.V - 5 minutes

Email the long haired celebrity Sims - 2 minutes

Buy a Fashion Studio - from Promotions R Us for $2500

Create 1 fashion design - 10 minutes

Create a complete outfit set - one row of the collection

Create all four outfits - complete the collection

This unlocks the first hairstyle.

You must keep on doing the fashion hobby and complete it a whopping 9 times to get all 9 hairstyles so you best get to it!

My tips for completing this in time are:

Have more than one Sim working on it

Have multiple Fashion Design Studios set up in one house

Complete the 10 minute option over and over agin if you can as you will find the most designs doing it this way

Get at least one Sim up to level 6 Fashion Designer so that all the designs are unlocked

Keep going! This one is definitely about perseverance!

Good luck! Let me know if you complete this in the time limit.
