Guide to LlamaZoom

Yes, we all hate Emily and her LlamaZoom truck (sorry, EA!) but sadly, now that this is current feature in game, we still have to do the tasks even when we don't want to. I've read numerous complaints regarding how the LlamaZoom tasks are slowing us down, especially during limited time events.

So, I've come to share what's the most convenient way to do these hateful tasks, based on my own experience. It may not be helpful for everyone, but you may share your ideas too by leaving your comments. Maybe this way, LlamaZoom can be more fun to do and less people will hate Emily too.

For this, I always choose a set of Career tasks. Here's the reasons why:

• you can always call a Sim back home (if they're still at work) to do the first exp tasks, if any. This won't work if your Sim is already doing stuff at home.
• you can make a Sim do the longest shift before the next Emily truck arrives, so you'll save like 2-3 hours if you don't have time to keep checking the game
• you can also make the other 2 Sims (if you have all 4 Sims playable) do standard shifts while waiting for Emily to come
• I can forge a Sim solely for barista career at the Cafe (check picture above and below)

Since it has level 5 max*, barista has the shortest time. With only 2 cafe objects, it can somehow help you shorten the time needed to finish a shift. And if you have a Sim with Good Upbringing trait, help that Sim get another 2 helpful traits for the career; Ambitious and Foodie. No need 3 stars for them, but upgraded ones would help much more.

With 5-10 clicks, you'll finish the quick shift. If you're lucky with risky actions, you can do 2 standard shifts with 30 energy. The longest shift, instead, will be only for about 5 hours and if you help, you'll have about 1 hour and 30 mins left to finish. I make my barista Sim do longest shift only when Emily is mean with asking for 2 long shifts and when I forgot to make another Sim do a long shift earlier.

And if Emily is asking for quick events in any relationship, career or hobby, always go for relationship. Make a Sim have their first date at the Cafe (this is why I love cafes so much!) with only 3 to 5 clicks, you'll be done.

But remember to press Choose Later instead of selecting a story. Tap the same Sim and repeat the process until the task is complete.

If Emily asks for quick and standard shifts, make your barista Sim do the hard work.

And if Emily asks for standard events in any relationship, hobby or career, you can either choose:

• relationship - Make two of your Sims do a relationship event with each other to halve the time in case you're planning to go idle

OR

• career - Make use of your barista Sim again

But above all these, the most important thing is a strategy and plan ahead if you know that you'll need to do LlamaZoom tasks for an event.

Here are a few other locations not at home where you can complete the exp tasks from Emily.

Sofa - Fashion Studio, Medical Center, Civic Center, Agency, Club, Science Center
Floor plant - Fashion Studio, Medical Center, Civic Center, Agency, Science Center, Restaurant, Cafe
Kitchen sink - Restaurant
Fridge - Restaurant

Keep in mind, that minimizing items (related to what Emily usually asks) around the house will lessen the chance for you to get the extra unnecessary exp tasks too.

There's also an amp in the cafe but as of now, we can't interact with it yet. Maybe they'll add that feature later?

I hope this is helpful. I'll add more if I find other ways.
