The Sims FreePlay Forbidden Library is the Influence Island Season 93 event running October 14–25, 2026, and its rewards are packed with gothic reading-room furniture. You can unlock diamond-paned windows, Chesterfield coffee tables, Stormbound paintings, scholar bookshelves with ladders and research notes while working towards the season’s clan challenge.
Influence Island plays differently from SimChase or a normal crafting event. You visit the island, choose contestants to befriend and win rounds by filling an Influence Bar without overshooting the safe zone. Winning those rounds earns Network Credits, which you can spend on prizes. To reach the grand prize, you have to build a clan before the event deadline.
How to start The Sims FreePlay Forbidden Library
Open The Sims FreePlay’s active event screen, select Influence Island Season 93 and travel to the island with an adult Sim. Talk to a contestant and begin an Influence Challenge. You can see the contestant’s relationship level and the event reward shop in the island interface. The event is available from level 7, so newer players may need to progress before it appears.
The island’s objective is to convert seven of the ten contestants into your clan during the event. Each contestant begins Neutral and can be moved through Friend and Ally stages before becoming a Clan Mate. The individual rounds become more demanding as the relationship improves, so use the early stages to get comfortable with the Influence Bar.

The Sims FreePlay Forbidden Library: How Influence Challenges work
During The Sims FreePlay Forbidden Library challenges, tap an action to add Influence within a displayed range. The goal is to stop inside the green safe zone. If you add too much Influence and enter the red zone, you’ll lose the challenge and the Network Credits you’ve accumulated in it. Starting with the largest action every time is therefore a risky move.
The relationship stages involve six rounds to become Friends, eight to become Allies and ten more to convert an Ally to Clan Mate. The challenge also shows a yellow rival zone. If you stop there, you can try to convince the contestant, but the result depends on how much influence the rival has already built. When you have a safe path into green, reaching it is more dependable than gambling on a rival contest.
You receive three Chocolate Bars for a challenge. A Chocolate Bar provides a small amount of Influence, typically two to nine points, and is useful near the green zone because it won’t push you into red. Save those bars for the last few points instead of using them as soon as the round opens.
The Sims FreePlay Forbidden Library clan progress and grand prize
To finish the The Sims FreePlay Forbidden Library clan objective, influence seven island Sims all the way to Clan Mate before October 25. On the normal Influence Island rules, completing each relationship stage earns Network Credits, and a fully converted Clan Mate pays 2,000 Credits across the stages. Spend those credits in the event gift shop on the common and rare prize tracks.
The gift shop normally has ten common prizes and five rare prizes to work through before the full collection is available. Challenge completions are limited by the event’s replenishment timer, so take advantage of the opportunities available each day rather than leaving all seven Clan Mates until the final weekend.
The Sims FreePlay Forbidden Library: How to win more rounds without losing credits
The key to The Sims FreePlay Forbidden Library is watching the numerical range shown beside each action. If the safe zone is narrow, choose an action with a smaller upper limit so you have less chance of overshooting. A large action is useful when you’re nowhere near the target, but it becomes dangerous as the bar approaches green.
If you’re close enough to use Chocolate Bars, try those before another wide-range action. If a challenge is already going badly, the Quit and Collect option lets you bank the credits in your basket at the cost of not advancing that contestant’s relationship. This is especially helpful when you need Network Credits for the shop and don’t want to risk losing everything.
When does Forbidden Library Season 93 end?
The Sims FreePlay Forbidden Library ends on October 25, 2026, at 7:00 UTC, according to EA’s Courting Crimson schedule. The ten-day competition began October 14. Check the countdown on the island’s event screen and make sure you have spent the credits you want to use before the season closes.
Whether you’re collecting just the bookshelf and ladder or aiming for the whole collection, focus on making steady progress rather than trying to complete every contestant in one sitting. A few careful challenges each day give you time to recover from a bad round and still reach the final rewards.
