Sims Freeplay

[1Rogue3X]

I’ve been playing this app for several months and love it. Recently I had to do a spell casting  quest to get the owl . I keep getting repeated spells even when casting all day. I did not finish the quest in time and am still casting with only repeated spells. Then today I’ve been doing some woodworking and have only been getting the pine oakie. This has now happened 5 times in a row. Is this meant to bee so difficult or is there an issue. I am playing on an iPhone8. Please help.
