[C] Credits [D] Sites FAQ is on [E] Copyright ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------[1] Introduction This is just the start of the game. This chapter will describe the nature of the game and the difference between the old Sims 1 and the new Sims 2. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[1.01] Introduction to the Game The Sims 2 is a squeal to one of the most popular games out, The Sims. This game is produced by Maxis and is distributed by Electronics Art (I Think). The Sims 2 is basically a virtual (not as realistic) simulation of life, where you play god over your "Sims". You buy them items such as furniture and plants, buy new clothing, build house and such, and so forth. Its great fun, but it is rated M15+ in the shops (In Australia, it is anyway). It is targeted to everyone who can purchase this game, and that means everyone. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[1.02] Difference between The Sims 1 and The Sims 2 Players of The Sims 1 should see that I'm talking from the original version of The Sims 1 and that I'm talking about the one released, not the one with any or all the expansion packs. This is a large range and includes: _ * Livin Large | * House Party | * Hot Date | * Vacation | Great Stuff * Unleashed | * Makin Magic | * Superstar _| * Online I'm doing this so that people who get to play The Sims 1 without any of the expansion packs will understand my mumbo jumbo. Differences include: * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

The telephone does not give out money randomly and you don't get weird calls You can talk to computer played players (NPC's) like the postie More items (well, duh!) Cleaning skill Age groups Kicked out some old jobs (entertainment) Added of new jobs (slacker, cooking) Many more social interactions Community lots Neighbourhoods Aspirations and Aspiration Points Rewards Chance Cards Meditate and Yoga

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------[2.01] Neighbourhood The Sims 2 start you off with 3 pre-made neighbourhoods and the option to create you own neighbourhoods. The 3 pre-made neighbourhoods have their own story and I'll start with them. Note that the story is directly from the game and is not edited in any way. *************** *Pleasantview* *************** "A lot has happened in 25 years! Mortimer Goth made his fortune, the Pleasants put down roots, and a new generation of Sims was born. But the peaceful, happy existence is in jeopardy when some new arrivals to Pleasantview start stirring up trouble, creating rivalries and tensions for all the families in the neighborhood. Can anything be done to restore the peace to sleepy, idyllic Pleasantview? Cassandra is ready to start a family of her own, but can she tame the town Casssanova? And can Mortimer bounce back after the disappearance of his wife Bella? Was it just coincidence that the Caliente sisters arrived on the evening of Bella's disappearance?

And can Angela and Lilith make the right choices when it comes to love? Darren is pursuing his dream of being an artist, while his son Dirk hits the books. And Darren may have found his muse, but will his creativity be enough to win Cassandra's affection?" There are 6 living families in Pleasantview.

All you have to do is to select Create Your Own Neighbourhood option and choose an area. Then you can choose a setting, lush (green) or desert setting. If you are not happy with your selection, you can make your own neighbourhood. You need SimCity 4 (Not sure if you need Rush Hour or Not) and got to a region. Enter one and make a basic outline of one. Then you import the sc4 file from you games folder into the Neighbourhood folder under My Documents. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[2.02] Create Your Own Sim Lets start with the basics. Click on Create a Family (a family with a plus sign on it) on the neighbourhood screen. Here are the basic options Name Here is where name your Sim (duh). You can call him/her anything you like. For example, you can call him Bob, Jack, Moo, Poo, Stupid, Ugly, Hobo, anything you like. Don't forget the surname box at the bottom to finish the name. Gender Here is where you decide if the Sim is a male or a female (well, duh) Age You can choose where your Sims can start off with age. They can be a toddler, child, teenager, adult or ELDER!!! Colour Choose the skin colour here. You can choose either light, tan, brown or dark. If you have downloaded any skins off the net, they will appear next to dark. Weight Choose if you want a fatty boom boom Sim for a frail skinny Sim. This will change throughout the game.

Biography Here you write about you Sim. If you are so damn lazy that you cannot do any of the above, click the die button to randomize your Sim you lazy bum. *** Once the basics have been set up, you can move onto the Body! Yay! Body options allow to configure what your Sims will look like in the end. Its a long list, so lets start *** Head You can change the shape of your Sim's Head. Theses heads will depend on your chosen skin colour, age and gender Hair Style and Colour This options change the hair style and hair colour of your Sim. There are several styles to choose from, including hats like a VIKING HORN HAT. HAHAHA, dress your Sim like a Viking! HAHAHAHAHA. Where was I? Oh yes, the hair. You can change the hair colour to red, black, etc. Next to the red option, there will be an icon which lets you use hair styles downloaded of the internet. Or made using the Sims Body Shop (separate program installed when you install the Sims 2) Face You can change the face to your liking. You can make the Sims look like a normal person, ET like, deformed like a monkey (no offence to be taken here) or so ugly so that mirrors will break when they see him, scare the living daylights out of people so see him or like the Grim Reaper. With the slider, you can change the facial height of your Sim. Brow You change the eyebrow of your Sim. Choose the base option and change according to your taste. You can change the thickness of the brows till you are happy. Eyes Like above, you choose a base and customise accordingly. You can change the eye colour to your own taste. Mouth You can get a big mouth, small mouth or your average size mouth. The sliders here control width, size and shape. (Wanna making that long mouth painting you've been seeing so often?) Chin Like your weird mouth, you can change the chin. Choose a base like normal, then fiddle around till you are happy *** When you are done with the facial expression, you can place makeup!!! *** Blush Give it a brush with some blush. Choose from the several colours available. Both males and females can use this.

Eyeliner Is your Sim a Goth? Give it the black treatment. Both males and females can use this. Eye Shadow How deep will the colour array have for your Sim? You want a male who wants to be a female? Give him the shadow! Wanna a dirty slut for a wife? Place the eye shadow till its just like TV! Males and females can both use this. Lipstick Want red lips? Want black lips? Now you can with the lipstick!?! OMG !?! Both males (snigger) and females can use this. *** After the makeup, you can choose some accessories to go along with your Sim *** Costume Makeup This allows you to add some face painting to your Sim. There are several schemes for you to choose from. My favourite (being Warfreak) is the military one. Both males and females can use this. Glasses Want a nerdy figure in your family? Bored and want to make someone in your family a pointdexter? Then give them glasses. The Sims 2 glasses range from you typical sunnies to the old, boring, dull, traditional reading glasses. Both males and females can wear these fab products. Beard or Moustache Give your Sim that unique look. Give him a moustache to look like Saddam Hussein (infidel!) or Mario (the plumber) or a beard to be like a biker (rebel!) or good old Santa! Hey, males only! Stubble Used in conjunction with the beard/moustache, your Sim can have a stubble. Not a moustache, not a beard, just enough to show it out. This is a males only option. *** After the face, you can choose your Sim's clothing *** Everyday Outfit You can mix and match your everyday outfit from the large range of tops and pants here or select a pre-made suit. Formal Outfit Choose what formalwear your Sim will have. You will wear it to the Wedding Party if you make one.

Click the pacifier icon till you have the baby you want. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[3] Personality and Characteristics This chapter will outline the personality and characteristics of your Sim.

The traits are Neat, Outgoing, Nice, Playful and Active. If you choose a star sign from the selection, you get the assigned traits automatically. You can assign yourself if you want to. Note that the description between the quotation marks are from the game. ************* *Sloppy/Neat* ************* Sloppy Sims are the ones that are dirty. They eat like pigs, refuse to flush the toilet, won't clean up, etc. Neat sims are the ones that have no problem with that kind of stuff. Sloppy "With their constant disregard of cleanliness and hygiene, sloppy Sims are content to simply "be." They tend to enjoy just about anything that doesn't require planning or cleaning up on their part." Neat "Tidy Sims typically enjoy cleaning up the house or grooming themselves in front of the mirror. There's always something to be done around the house and they'll more often than not be found doing it; great for a house, but it can tire Sims out." Notes about Neat Sims * * * * * *

Cleaning Skill increases faster than normal Sloppy Sims Neat Sims gain fun when cleaning things (weird) Neat Sims will clean the high chair when the Sim has taken the baby away If Free Will is on, if there is a puddle, they will clean it up Will never automatically eat spoiled food Children will pack up toys after use

Notes about Sloppy Sims * Hygiene decreases faster than neat Sims * Sloppy Sims stuff food in their mouth, which might lower relationship points if anyone is near them (sitting at the same table) * Sloppy Sims don't have fun when told to clean things * May eat from trash, for food that have files around it if their hunger is very low (Free Will must be turned on in order to do this) * Leave toys around if they are finished with them, they don't put it back * They will make cleanable items such as showers and toilets more dirty quicker than neat Sims * Automatically eats spoiled food more often * Gives themselves a spongebath in the sink when there is no shower or bath to wash themselves * Can lick plates clean by clicking on the other rim of the plate * May pee in the shower

************** *Shy/Outgoing* ************** Shy Sims are ones that do not like big parties and stay away from group action. The outgoing sims are the ones that crave the social attention and adore being around people. Shy "Introspective and quiet, shy sims often think about the world around them and write in their diaries rather than actually interact with anyone. It may be harder to break out of their shells, but if shy Sims take the time to get to know others, they'll be delighted by the social world awaiting them." Outgoing "Outgoing Sims are likely to jump headfirst into any situation. Charm and confidence are their best traits and when they're in a friendly mood, they enjoy group activities most of all. Keep an eye on these characters, though; outgoing Sims can be too brash, and others aren't always so impressed." Notes about Shy Sims * * * * *

Social bar takes a long time to decrease If they are in the same room with a fight going on, the shy Sim will run Shy Sims will not jump off the diving board Solo dances are a bit more reserved Have several special animations for some racy interactions

Notes about Outgoing Sims * * * * * * * * *

Social bar decreases fast With 8 or more outgoing points, the Sim will enter hot tubs naked Outgoing Sims talk with garden objects (gnome) if Free Will is on. Males Sims with Outgoing of 9+ points will pee in the bushes if need be Children with high outgoing are more likely to bring a friend home Higher chance of party success if started with outgoing Sim Sometimes Naked Sims may forget to dress in special events such as fire Have more animated conservations Will visit Sims if they are spied upon

************* *Lazy/Active* ************* Lazy Sims spend more time in front of the television than anyone else. Entertainment that require less energy like playing games on the computer or watching TV. Active sims gain more fun by doing harder activities, like swimming. Lazy "Lazy Sims have been known to veg out on the couch for hours on end, so naturally, they don't need much sleep to sustain their constant lazying. They still enjoy socializing with other Sims and can be persuaded to get out of the house once in a while." Active "Active Sims are almost always on the move but need a lot of food and sleep to

keep up with their hectic pace. They're apt to be the happiest while breaking a sweat, an exhausting idea to most other Sims. An active Sim will usually get more enjoyment from watching sports on TV than reading a book." Notes on Lazy Sims * Can't run all the time, only if it is far away * Get a snack from the fridge, even if hunger is at max (Free Will is on) * Refuse to put books away * Energy and Hunger decrease slowly * Get fat a lot faster * Always turn on the TV / Computer when fun is low (Free Will enabled) * Random chance on turning off the alarm clock and going back to sleep * Requires more sleep to fill bar * Requires less food to fill bar Notes on Active Sims * Runs to every place * Energy and Hunger drains faster * Will swim if fun is low (Free Will enabled) * Easier to get fit * Needs less sleep to fill bar ***************** *Serious/Playful* ***************** Serious Sims don't play to play much, (Social Interaction), they take jokes seriously. Playful Sims is the reverse. Serious "Quiet, thoughtful Sims are more inclined to enjoy logic puzzles and good conversations, but they don't respond too well to chaos or silly behaviour. Repairing broken items or working on an important project can keep serious Sims content." Playful "Playful Sims are more likely to find entertainment and fun in the world around them; they tend to be more curious than any other Sim. They may have a lighthearted nature, but they can wear themselves out with their antics, as well as get on their fellow Sim's nerves." Notes about Serious Sims * * * *

Read the newspaper (If Free Will is on) Fun decreases slowly Reading a book or doing a crossword gives them more fun Increase Logic Skill the fastest

Notes about Playful Sims * Fun decreases quickly * Playing games increase fun faster * If the Sim has Playful Points of 6+, they will also be able to skip to where they are going (you have to choose that) * Can play with garden gnomes * Can play in the hot tub ************** *Grouchy/Nice* **************

Grouchy Sims have a bad time making friends and socially interacting with other Sims. Of course, nice Sims have no problem with this. Grouchy "Grouchy Sims, despite their sour mood, can still be social creatures. They'll probably enjoy teasing a Sim as much as telling a joke. They don't seem to mind when other Sims overreact and they like playing a games as much as anyone else, but be warned: they tend to be sore losers." Nice "Encouraging and generous, nice Sims tend to be easy to get along with and very positive. They'll listen to what other Sims have to say whether it's interesting or not and clean up after dirty roommates. If they don't watch out though, other Sims may take advantage of their good nature." Notes about Grouchy Sims * If the interaction "Argue" is used against another Sim, the grouchy Sim will most likely gain Social from it. * If the Grouchy Sims 4 point or less in the nice trait, they might knock over your garbage bin in a bad mood or steal a garden gnome if they are in a foul mood (what stingy people). Very mean Sims will do this even when the owner is nearby * With Free Will on, the Grouchy Sim might start a fight (more likely) with a Sim they hate * Grouchy Sims with 4 points or less in the nice trait will tend to spy on people with the telescope if Free Will is enabled. * Grouchy Sims taunt Sims who are playing a game * Can cheat in Chess or Darts by clicking on the board Notes about Nice Sims * Less likely to start a fight (If Free Will is enabled) * Lose Social and relationship points if they use or be used in the social interaction "Argue and Fight" * Nice Sims cheer on other Sims playing a game -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[4] Neighbourhood The neighbourhood is where your Sims and other Sims live, work and shop. This chapter will explain how to add objects and what residential and community are. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[4.01] Adding Decorations When you play your own neighbourhood, it looks kind of empty. You can add decorations to your neighbourhood to brighten it up. This include vegetation such as tree and shrubs. You can also add things like water towers, research sites, etc. You can add effects such as boats on the water (if there is water) balloons and lots of other objects. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[4.02] Residential Lots As the name implies, residential lots are lots where your Sims live. You can either choose a pre-made home or a block of empty land. If you choose the

block of land, be sure to name it and click residential lot. All lots, pre-made and empty lots must be placed next to a road (so cars and buses can pick your Sims up.) After that, move your Sims in! If you have a block of bare land, you can use build mode to make a house. However, building a house is harder than it seems and can cost a lot of money. Only use this option if you want you Sims to live on bare land (for some unknown reason) or you have a lot of Simoleons (Sim Money) around the quarter of a million mark for a luxary home. However, you don't need that much if you plan to live cheap, which is relatively cheap. You can have a nice 2X2 home, with the bare basics, for under 20,000 Simoleons, depending on what you buy. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[4.03] Community Lots Community Lots are lots that a community can meet up in, which is also implied by the name. They lots are where your own Sims will interact with other Sims you have created or just walker bys (Sims that are generated and played by your computer.) You can buy food, clothes, games and magazines for your Sims along with other things like BBQ's. You can build your own community lot by getting a block of bare land and making it a community lot. You can build to whatever you want as there is no money limit on this (Thank God, imagine that you have a limit!) Build it to your imagination, I mean you can build it like your corner shop if you really wanted to, your imagination is your limit. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[5] Walkthroughs This chapter is to help you with various things. This helps to start off, earn money, etc. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[5.01] Help to Start Off Okay, you have your family and all your need is a lot. Get a house (from the house and lots bin) and slap it down. Buy the house if it is about �10000. Then move your Sims in. When you move in, there will be some items for you already. Go to buy mode and make sure that you have: 1 Fridge X Beds where X is the number of Sims (except toddlers) 1 Microwave or Oven 1 TV 1 Table with X Chairs where X is the number of Sims (except toddlers) 1 Crib and Changing Table (Only if you have a toddler) A telephone 1 Toilet 1 Shower Some Paintings (For Environment if you really care) Some Toys Bookshelf When you finish buying that, you will be low on money. Get your adult Sims to look in the newspaper. Find the highest paying job (Military or Politics) and

get in there. If you have teenagers, make them have a job as well. This will bring more � into the household. If you have �500+, that's good as there is need for more �. When the money starts to roll in, buy more things like computers, better beds, better kitchenware, etc. When you have no more space in your house. Stop. When you have �20000+ in cash, refill your fridge (you should refill it earlier, but hey). Either take a taxi to a community lots where you can buy food or order over the telephone. Ordering over the telephone involves a �50 delivery fee. Quit your Sims jobs. All of them. Then try to find a job in the Athletics Career. Get some friends and keep promoting them. When you have the money, then you keep playing yourself, the Noob Walkthrough is over. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[5.02] Earning Money There are many ways to earn the easy buck. If you happen to have an art easel and a high creative Sim, start painting. It earns you money on a more you paint the more you earn basis. I've heard about people earning �2000+ per painting! And there is the Hydroponic Garden. As a reward, your Sims will cultivate plants and sell it for money. Getting a lot of family friends and a lot of skill points with the odd maxed out set will greatly speed up your chances at getting a promotion at work. The only method however, of gaining more than �2000+ per painting is that you keep at it, keep going and painting. The University Art Career has no bearing on this trait and the more you paint, the more each painting will net. And who could forget the good old money tree. At �40 a pop every eight hours, you could be rich! Don't have too many excess, unwanted objects as your bills get calculated from the amount of objects your have and their values. Don't make your Sim's eat without having a low hunger bar as food from the fridge comes from the groceries you have to order. Use this walkthrough only if you are on the verge of bankruptcy in the Sims 2. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[5.03] Art Money Maker This should belong in the art section but I really don't care. When you finish your painting on the art easel, you don't have to sell it. Go to buy mode and hang it somewhere. As the time goes on, you'll forget about the painting, no seriously, you'll forget, just like me. Leave it there and the price of the painting will slowly increase over time. I once had a crappy painting which was worth about �56, and when I remembered about it, it was worth �500! Man was that a great deal. The price of sale increased by over 450%. You can also do this with the painting you can buy like the �5500 one but it will increase slower, it increased only �78 in 3 days. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[5.04] Need Control This section is the faster way to regain your needs if you live in a single storey house or you are short on time. Of course, check your bars for the one that is in the most red. If it is bladder, go to the toilet to avoid a nasty accident. Hygiene is cleared by going to the shower. Fun is quickly cured by watching television, it regains the fastest on a channel besides the Yummy Channel and is best on the wide screen plasma television. Hunger is the most annoying one as it takes time to cool. Go for an instant meal is you are red but if you have time to same yourself, you should aim for a meal like an

omelette or something that your Sim will not have the chance to get away from as when they are hungry, they tend to leave food in the oven and stuff their face with food while their cooking project is in the oven, starting to set the whole house on fire. Social is best regain if you send e-mails many times and when you check your e-mail, you will get a massive boost to your bar as you decided to spam many e-mails over the SimInternet. Energy and comfort is best regained on the Most expensive double bed. Comfort will skyrocket and energy will slowly but surely regain itself. Environment is regained if you find a better furnished and cleaner room then you are in now. If not, clean the damn room up. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[5.05] Skill Builder Under here is the fastest way for my Sims to build up those hard to earn skill points. Use the exercise machines, they are the fastest ways to build up those annoying body skill points. Cleaning is best gained from cleaning benches and toilets and such. Although cleaning from the bookcase could be faster, you are actually helping out around the house and save on those maid bills. Cooking skill points are best learnt from the television (the Yummy Channel) and cooking and serving food. This can help you because the Yummy Channel is a fun activity for all Sims and the cooking and serving for everyone is helpful because it can relieve hunger for yourself and other Sims. Mechanical can be learnt from the bookself but helping out and fixing the broken objects are also important but the danger of getting fried by some broken electrical product is quite high. Charisma is only learnt from the mirror as there is no naturally occurring object that will raise it. Creativity is the most easy one to raise because of the sheer fact that your Sims will do it with free will. Paintings are the best in my opinion because they will provide some nice needed money and boost your creativity which will boost future paintings. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[6] Your Sims Needs Sims, like humans in real life, have needs, the basic needs of life. Their needs include Hunger, Comfort, Bladder, Energy, Fun, Social, Hygiene and Environment. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[6.01] Hunger "A refridgerator is the first stop for any hungry Sim. Cooking Skill and appliances will affect the quality of the different meals Sims can prepare. If they don't feel like cooking, then they can call for a pizza!" Hunger is the only need on the list that can kill your Sim. This makes it the most important need to fulfil and first thing to look at on your Sim's need bar. The more expensive the appliances that are used, the better quality the food would turn out to be. Hunger can be restored by ordering a pizza from the phone, grilling it on a BBQ, cooking it on a microwave or oven, having a snack and using the oven stove to cook. When cooking your food for an important guest, like for instance the Headmaster, you have to cook from a expensive fridge. The enhance the quality, you should have a blender / food processor on standby (expensive) to mulch the food, then cook it on an expensive BBQ or the most expensive oven. Make the food a higher cooking level type of food, like lobster or salmon.

Hunger has the biggest effect on a Sims mood so be sure to make their hunger in full green all the time to get a high mood score. Don't eat 24/7 because if you do, the game will make your excess food in blubber and you really don't want that to happen to your Sim, do you? ******************** *Desperation Action* ******************** When the hunger bar has hardly any green left in it, it would be full red. The Sim will rush to your fridge and randomly grabbing stuff to stuff its face. If there is no fridge, say goodbye to your Sim. If there is no food (hence no supplies in the fridge), also prepare to say goodbye to your Sim. Full to Empty Hunger of Active: 50 Hours Hunger of Lazy : 54 Hours -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[6.02] Comfort "Sims of all ages love to be comfortable. This need will get pretty low if there isn't a nice cozy couch or chair to sit down. Taking a warm bath or soaking in the hot tub is another great way for Sims to relax." Comfort isn't important to your Sims like Hunger is. It will only increase your mood, that's about it. Sit down on chairs, sofas, recliners to increase comfort. Sleeping and having a bath will increase comfort. When you sit down to eat your meal (Sim) you will increase comfort. All I can say is that you can increase comfort and keep it at the max without even knowing about it. Comfort is not one of the most important type of mood. It hardly increases your bar so don't bother with this one much. ******************** *Desperation Action* ******************** They will talk to your in Sim language and wave their hand and complain. Full to Empty Comfort of Active: 48 Hours Comfort of Lazy : 16 Hours -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[6.03] Bladder "When a Sim's gotta go, a Sim's gotta go. And there's really only one solution to that kind of problem - get them to a toilet as fast as possible." Bladder is not important, however it can raise your mood fast and it is by far the quickest draining motive your Sim can have. It drains fast and it will normally go red in about 6-8 Sim hours. If you eat something, drink from a bar, drink coffee or drink from a tap, you will drain the bladder bar a lot faster for as long as your are eating / drinking the food. You can compare this to real life. The more you drink, the more you pee, the more you eat, the more your poo. The better the toilet (expensive) the faster you get rid of your red bladder

Not every important to your mood but take care of it anyway, you don't want to have your Sim taking a leak on their favourite clothes. ******************** *Desperation Action* ******************** This action should be highly avoided (means going to the toilet ASAP.) Your Sim will have an accident (that is how it is described in the game.) What I'm saying is that your Sims will pee their pants if your have to go but you don't. It will release your red bladder bar all the way up to green in a clear shot, however, your hygiene will be completely red. This will happen to toddlers but you do not see the drama that is shown. Full to Empty 16 Hours -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[6.04] Energy "Nothing replaces a good night's sleep, but in a pinch Sims can settle for a nap on the couch, a snooze in the recliner, or a steaming cup of coffee to boost their energy." Energy is semi important. It is required to have a nice green energy bar before you go to work or school, but it drains like a turtle running a 100m race. Body work, such as weightlifting or swimming drains the bar like hell. The better the sleeping thing is (couch, bed, recliner) the better the energy bar gets refilled. This motive has hardly any say in the mood factor, however, you can fall asleep on the floor if you don't take care of this one. ******************** *Desperation Action* ******************** If you energy is nothing left, your Sim will fall asleep on the spot, either standing up or sitting on the floor. This improves your energy, but at a slow speed. Like bladder, something will take a hit, and in this case, it is your comfort. If swimming and you run out of energy, your Sim will go to heaven because they will drown. Full to Empty Energy of Active: 24 Hours Energy of Lazy : 16 Hours -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[6.05] Fun "Fun means something different to everyone. Some Sims may prefer reading while others like watching TV. Most Sims will enjoy playing a game of pinball or darts with other Sims." Fun is fairly important. It can cause a bad mood if fun is red, but it is a breeze to maintain. To improve fun, do something fun (duh). Serious Sims will have fun reading books, playing chess and reading the newspaper. Playful Sims

will have more fun playing Group Activities like darts. Everyone will enjoy TV and pinball machines. The more expensive the fun object is, the faster the fun bar will be filled. This is the most important motive for skill building. All work and no play make your Sim, something, something. If you want to build any skill, it is sure that without a green bar of fun, you won't learn anything. ******************** *Desperation Action* ******************** Nothing except to refuse to do anything and complain. Full to Empty Fun of Playful: 22 Hours Fun of Serious: 40 Hours -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[6.06] Social "Sims are friendly creatures that crave social interaction. They can fulfill their needs by interacting with friends, family and neighbors. The telephone is a great way for Sims to invite people over or to catch up on the latest gossip." Social is very important in the game, next to hunger. It drains fast (which is what I really hate as it can take ages to increase.) Go too red and a bunny lands smack down on to your house which only the red social Sim can see. You can do whatever you want (Kisses and Hugs improve social fastest.) Social can increase when you talk when you eat dinner, talking to someone on the phone, bathing the baby, etc. If you have lots of friends, chuck a party Social has an important swing in mood. Without it, you will never reach will green. E-mail spam is the best way to increase social in a nick of time. Oh, and the Social Bunny is a reference to a disturbing movie called Donnie Darko, thanks to Jessica Dahl for pointing that out. ******************** *Desperation Action* ******************** Same as fun, do nothing until it is increased. Oh and to COMPLAIN. Full to Empty Social of Outgoing: 22 Hours Social of Shy : 40 Hours -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[6.07] Hygiene "Taking a shower might seem like a usual part of any Sim's routine, but it's surprising how often it gets overlooked and how low this motive can get. Taking a bath is a more relaxing solution if the Sims can find some extra time." Hygiene is important, moreso if you what to be a social animal. It drains

slow unless you are weightlifting or swimming. Smelly Sims will have a green cloud around them (ewww cloud) and other Sims will not want to have any social interactions with them, so they fail. To increase hygiene, wash your hands in a sink, take a shower or a bath. Has a slight effect on mood and certainly on other Sims. If you think that hygiene has no real meaning in the Sims 2, think again. ******************** *Desperation Action* ******************** If you have low hygiene and no bath tub, hot tub or a shower, your Sim will try to give themselves a sponge bath in the sink. No Sink means that it will stay red till you buy something. Hygiene of Neat : 48 Hours Hygiene of Sloppy: 16 Hours -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[6.08] Environment "Decorations and landscaping around the lot will affect the environment. Sims like bright, clean spaces with plenty of color and light. A well kept house and yard will surely fulfill this need." Environment is not important but can turn a very good mood to a very crappy good mood. It changes room to room as they are separated by a door. Windows will increase the environment, the more light there is, the better. Also, art will affect the mood. The outside of the house is the most important as your Sims will go to work with this environment score. This bar will increase or decrease from room to room, unlike other bars with increase and decrease over time. The original Sims will know that environment is changed from the "Room" score in the Sims 1. Trash on the floors like green bottles and plates that have green clouds around them will decrease the score. Old newspapers, weeds and untrimmed hedges will also decrease the score. If your house is really filthy, there will be cockroaches, which will really lower the score. Outside, place trees and shrubs to increase the score as when you go to work, the outside environment will have a say between promotion or no promotion. Environment will be a concerning factor in your mood. A good can go bad if the room is a bombzone. Make it clean or you are stuffed. ******************** *Desperation Action* ******************** There is no action for the Environment however, they will whine at any possible moment to clean up the mess. Best to send the children to do it, since they don't have an Environment bar. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[7] Skills Every Sims has a skill set of 10. The higher the skill number, the longer it

takes to achieve. However, the higher it is, the better your Sim will be in that specific field. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[7.01] Cooking "Sims that keep reading and cooking to build this skill will be surprised by how much more satisfying their meals become.

These skills are yoga, meditate and cooking (cooking chart) -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[8.01] Yoga Yoga your more stop

is achieved when your Sim has a body skill of 3. To go yoga, click on active Sims and click "Do Yoga." You learn more techniques if your do Yoga. It increases your body skill at the same time. Note that they will doing Yoga if that fall down and make a fool of themselves.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------[8.02] Meditate Meditate is acquired when you have a logic skill of 3. You click on your active Sim and click "Meditate." You lose no needs on your status bar and they don't change when meditating. That means that you don't need to pee while meditating which is a blessing. After 14 overall hours of meditating, you learn how to teleport while you meditate. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[8.03] Cooking Cooking is a main skill but here is listed the food your can cook with each cooking level. Food will have flies and go bad after about 8 hours after they were cooked. Thanks for Jessica Dahl again for pointing out that if you have a serving platter that is about to go off in 2 hours, pulling a plate from the platter will give the new dish another 8 hours while the serving platter will still go off in 2 hours. This also applies to Pizza as well. Skill Level | Food | When | 1 Serve | Family Serve -----------------------------------------------------------------------------0 | Juice (Snack) | Any Time | �3 | N/A | Chips (Snack) | Any Time | �3 | N/A | Cookies (Snack) | Any Time | �3 | N/A | Instant Meal | Any Time | �3 | �12

This is how you tell how do a Sim is. As they grow older, the age groups changes slowly till they reach Elder and pass on. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[9.01] Baby To get a baby, you must have a female and male adult. They must have a lifetime relationship of at least 70 (lower bar) and a current relationship (higher bar) of about 90+. Now to make a baby. Have your two sims relax together in the bed or in the hot tub. Use one sim and click on the other. Now you click on the option of "Try for Baby" and they will do a WooHoo. I will warn you that having a "Try For Baby" in the hot tub is a lot less successful than in the bed. If it is successful, you will hear part of the song "Rock a Bye Baby." If not, try again. Your female Sim is now pregnant. It takes 3 days for your Sims to give birth. On the first day, she will have "Morning Sickness." From then on, every day for 3 days, your Sim's belly will grow bigger and bigger. Once the 3 days are up, your Sim will give birth. Every other Sim around the house will come and watch your Sim give birth. The Sim will have their green arrow broken into two, with the smaller one being given to the baby. There is another rarer way to get a baby. Have any Sim (adult) stargaze at

night between 7:00 p.m. and 2:00 a.m. using the telescope. Aliens will abduct your Sim and their needs will be randomized throughout the situation. Once they come back, they will be pregnant, this INCLUDES males. When they give birth however, it will be an alien sort of child, green skin and black eyes. Note that teens can be abducted, however, they cannot have children. Like the Sims 1, you do not have control of the baby, so you must guess what it wants. You can play with it, feed it (bottle from the fridge), cuddle it and bathe it (in the sink). The baby will sometimes have a green trail around it, so then you have to change a diaper! Take good care of it or the social worker will come and take away your baby. The baby will become a toddler in 3 days. SPOILER ALERT If you eat spaghetti when your female Sim is having a child, there is a higher chance of the baby becoming a pair of twins!!! END SPOILER -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[9.02] Toddler A toddler is the older form of the baby. You can control the toddler now. You can have it learn some skills like creativity. The status of the toddler is the same except it has removed 2 bars, Comfort and Environment. You can do more with it now. Your Sims has more interactions with it such as bathing it in the bath tub, talk to it, etc. You can teach the toddler 3 things with the adults. Teach it to Walk, Teach it to Talk and Potty Train it. They also have skill building available to them, however, you will need specific items to train those skills. If you hire a Nanny, everyone can leave the baby at home while the nanny looks after it. However, the Nanny will teach it to walk and talk so you won't have the chance to teach it yourself. Your Choice. If you don't look after it well, the toddler will be taken away by the infamous Social Worker. After 5 days, the toddler will become a child. Note that the Nanny is a lazy *** ** * ***** and will make food, even when the child is not hungry, walk around in your house and watch TV. Rarely do they actually do any work. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[9.03] Child A child is more like the adult Sim now than ever before. The status bar is only missing the bar environment now. All 7 skill sets are available to the child now. It is just like an adult except for the major actions which an adult can do. It can't cook, WooHoo, make out, etc. Your Sim child will have to go to school (groan) from 9am to 3pm (carpool at 8am) Monday to Friday. Your Sims parents have the option of having a private school accept your child by calling the headmaster from the phone. Look after the child well for it can be taken away by the social workers. After 8 days, the child will become a teenager. The only exception to the child not being able to cook is using their little oven to bake muffins. After a few cooking skill points, they won't even burn their muffins! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[9.04] Teenager A teenager is only a step away from the adulthood. The teenager has more access to social interactions like kissing and others. They can cook and they still have to attend school.

The Sims can get engaged, married and joined (for same sex couples). They can move out and find their own place. They have 10 levels in every job set career. When they earn money, they have some of the money as private money. They can have babies and have free reign. After 29 days, they will become elders. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[9.06] Elder An elder has the access of social interactions like an adult. Their job set however is the same as an teenager, so there are 3 job levels per career. If the elder keeps a high aspiration and a good mood, you elder will die of old age. This will happen when the elder is about 15 - 25 Sim days since they turn elder. If they had a job as an adult, they retire with a fraction of the pay. After the elder dies, their private money and wealth is spilt up and given as an inheritance.

"Get Assistant" 15% Chance ____ tries to free himself from the sardine tin can of campaign workers all busy answering phones.

About halfway through the stack, she finds some speeches that the controller has been asked to edit. ____ has an okay eye for syntax, and she knows how busy the controller is, so she could try editing them herself, or scan the speeches into her word processor and run the grammer check on them. "Edit" 85% Chance ____ carefully reads through the speeches and finds a few typos, as well as some really awkward syntax. She dutifully marks the errors and suggest the proper changes, before returning the speeches to a relatively un-cluttered section of the controller's desk, along with a sticky note that says "Done".

elections, members of Congress are, and ____'s local district doesn't have many strong or seasoned candidates on the ballots yet. ____ is happy with his current position, but the step to Congressman is one he'd like to make at some point. He doesn't have the experience that most candidates do when running for Congress, but he does have a good public following.

"Run" 15% Chance ____ throws his hat into the ring and publicly announces his plans to run for Congress on each of SimCity's day-time talk shows.

"Run" 85% Chance ____ throws his hat into the ring and publicly announces his plans to run for Congress on each of SimCity's day-time talk shows.

Canary Breeding Ground Bill would be a no-brainer for ____, as the SimCity Canary is an endangered species, and its habitats has been increasing encroached upon as the City steadily expands.

He earns the respect of the green-thinking public and of the biological community, who name a rare type of plankton after him, earning him 2 Charisma and 2 Logic Skill Points. "Vote Yes" 15% Chance ____ votes yes, and the bill goes into effect, preventing the construction of any and all new industrial expansion, including out of town highway upgrades, a planned international seaport, and a public transportation connection that would have invariably lowered the city's pollution levels, which are as big of a threat to the canary population as their shrinking breeding grounds. Geological surveys suggest that less than 1% of the new protected areas might have been all that was needed to reach an amicable compromise. ____ loses 3 Logic Skill Points. "Vote No" 15% Chance ____ votes against perserving the Canary's breeding ground, but the bill passes anyway, which was what ____ really wanted, and there's nothing wrong with simply having his NAME on record as having opposed the bill, right?

But the defendant in this case is none other than the Mayor's favourite niece, her pride and joy, and the bane of store security guards everywhere. The young woman has been hauled into court more times than ____ can remember, but each and every time, the judge involved dismissed the charges on the basis of some technicality provided by the young kleptomaniac's high-priced legal staff.

En route to the Senate Building, he turns a corner and spots a black helicopter descending sliently from only a few stories above him. With no time to think, all ____ can do is to run or hide.

"Run" 15% Chance ____ takes off running and doesn't look back. One block. Five blocks. Ten blocks and he's at the step to the Senate building. The helicopter is nowhere to be found. Out of breath, he ascends the marble stairs, walks onto the senate floor, and presents his findings. Within the hour, the military's sonar experiments have been ground to a halt by the wheels of justice, the whales have been saved, and in the face of overwhelming public support (and a special amendment to the city's constitution) ____ is promoted to Mayor of SimCity. "Run" 85% Chance ____ kicks off his dress shoes and bolts for the Senate building.

Dejected, ____ loses 1 Charisma and 1 Logic Skill Point. ******* *Mayor* ******* Landgraab Enterprises has started a joint venture to build an international seaport that would allow the transportation of larger volumes of goods in and out of SimCity. A major principle in the business venture approaches ____ to

buy a large tract of city-owned waterfront property for only �1 an acre. With current real estate prices as high as they are, �1 an acre is highway robbery, but the construction of an international seaport could create a lot of new jobs in SimCity. Should ____ accept the offer? "Yes" 15% Chance The deal goes through, and the forecast of being the region's only international seaport immediately puts SimCity on the map. Foreign investors from around the globe begin to show interest, and with only the first stages of the seaport's construction underway, the city is already boasting its lowest unemployment percentages in decades. The deal is viewed as being so successful that no one notices the �30,000 "donation" Malcolm Landgrabb makes to ____'s "private" campaign fund. "Yes" 85% Chance The deal goes through. Selling valuable city-owned real estate, at bargain basement prices, in order to create jobs for a lagging economy seems like a good idea. That is, until environmentalists bring a recently signed bill to ____'s attention that declares the waterfront property to be protected breeding grounds of the SimCity canary. The joint venture is forced to sell the land back to the city, but is out of all the Simoleons that it has already invested into the preliminary construction. The largest shareholder of Landgrabb Enterprises, a Miss Crumplebottom, files suit against ____ for her company's losses, and ____ loses �10,000 in legal expenses. "No" 85% Chance ____ refuses the ventures ridiculous offer and without the waterfront property to build a Seaport, Landgraab's business partner opts instead to invest her liquid assets in a monumental trucking distribuation network. Once the network is in place, SimCity will have all the benefits that the Seaport could have added, in half the time, plus retaining the valuable waterfront property for other uses. And the �50,000 "donation" ____ took from the Landgraab's business partner can't hurt either. "No" 15% Chance ____ refuses the venture's ridiculous offer and continues on with business as usual. Unfortunately, business in SimCity is not so good. The unemployment rate only continues to climb, and when news of ____'s refusal to sign a deal that would have created hundreds of new jobs reaches the masses, the public outcry is deafening. But when the community becomes aware of the fact that the property in question is currently inhabited by unemployed and homeless Sims, the irony is too much for them to endure, and in an unprecidented recall, ____ is voted out of office and out of his job. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[15.02] Medicine ******************************* *Emergency Medicial Technician* ******************************* ____'s been asked to lend a helping hand and clean up one of the examination rooms after a food fight broke out between cadets of rival military schools.

She's got the sirens on, but there isn't enough room for the cars to get out of her way. She could drive the ambulance on the sidewalk, or get out and hoof the 25 blocks carrying her med pack and resuscitation kit. "Sidewalk" 15% Chance The sidewalk turns out to be easier to drive on than the roads, and _____ wonders why she doesn't always drive on the sidewalks. She makes it the 25 blocks in no time, and it turns out that she's one of the only ambulances not stuck in traffic. _____ spends the rest of the day picking up other drivers' slack and earns herself 2 mechanical points in the process.

Since the hospital certainly can't have a grant named after a nurse, the powers that be have promoted ____ to Intern. "Sherpa" 50% Chance The sherpa kicks and screams as ____ pokes and prods him, but ____ eventually becomes convinced that the sherpa is in good health. As ____ prepares to dismiss him with a clean bill of health, and a hefty hospital bill to go with it, a member of the surgical team taps ____ on the shoulder. ____ really doesn't have an explanation as ti why he's allowed a llama in the hospital's examination room, so the surgeon writes him up, and ____ loses one Logic point. "Llama" 50% Chance ____'s no veterinarian, but even he can tell that the llama is sick.

A few hours later an envelope arrives addressed to ____. It contains �5,000 and a simple note saying "Thank You." "Llama" 50% Chance As ____ begins his thorough examination of what he believes to be one very sick llama, it occurs to him that SimCity General might not be the best place to treat animals.

He's been demoted. ******** *Intern* ******** ____ believes he's discovered a flaw in a cutting-edge surgery technique being outlined by the Hospital's Chief of Staff.

He clears his throat and begins the diatribe he's been rehearsing in his head for the last twenty minutes.

After their distribution, the recruits are instructed to drill with their rifles ... err ... baguettes. Off-duty soldiers gather around the unfortunate recruits and comment of their baguette technique. Thereafter the squad is dubbed "The Baguette Brigade" by the whole camp. The resulting atmosphere causes the recruits to work together to earn their rifles back. Impressed by ____'s unorthodox but effective approach, the CO personally promotes him to Junior Officer. "Baguettes" 15% Chance ____ decides that to shape up the troops, they must suffer the indignity of drilling with baguettes instead of rifles. He musters the recruits, and after a long lecture about military training, hands them their new baguettes. As he turns around and begins marching the recruits toward the drilling yard, he hears a lot of noise behind him. Turning around he finds that the unruly recruits have all eaten their baguettes! Furious, ____ places the whole squad on extended drilling schedules. Not only has ____ failed to discipline the recruits, but now they're acting wrose than before! It doesn't take long before the CO notices the lack of order, and arrive to personally take charge of ____'s squad. As punishment, ____ is demoted to Recruit. **************** *Junior Officer* **************** ____ has been placed in command of a 30-soldier brigade of highly trained soldiers. Since it is peacetime, his unit enjoys a regimented yet regular life - that is, until rioting breaks out in his unit's deployment region. The Mayor of SimCity is trapped within City Hall along with several foreign dignitaries who were on a state visit, and rioters have set fire to the

building. ____ is forced to think fast - he can direct his troops to storm the building by foot, or conduct an airdrop and have them infiltrate City Hall from above. "Advance on Foot" 15% Chance ____ decides that an air drop, while possibly effective, might scare the already anxious city residents, he opts for a more low-key approach. He instructs the officers to don riot gear and swing around the back end of City Hall, where there is a sewer entrance a few feet from the rear entrance. They manage to quietly work unnoticed to the main lobby, where the dignitaries are huddled together, wheezing from the smoke. The Mayor and his party are secreted out through the sewers and taken to a secure location, where they wait out the rioters. ____'s commanding officer is very impressed with his no-nonsense, stealthy approach to the rescue, and he awards ____ a �500 performance bonus. "Advance on Foot" 85% Chance ____ doesn't have enough confidence in his younger recruits to justify an airdrop in such a complicated situation. Better to go in by foot and do things the old-fashioned way. But those same "green" soldiers are unprepared for such close contact with civilians, and one soldier inappropriately discharges a tear gas canister in a crowded street. The public is outraged, and ____ is the most convenient Sim for the fall. ____ is reprimanded for failure to control his troops, fined �1000, and loses 1 Charisma point in the process. "Use the Parachutes" 85% Chance The building perimeter is surrounded by fire and rioters and ____ fears that they'd waste too much time battling those obstacles. He boards an airlift with his 10 best soldiers, and they depart for the center of the city. Yet something's just not right about the situation - dignitaries trapped alone in City Hall? Suddenly, ____ remembers a bomb threat a few days prior, and the suspicious information discovered in a search. ____ places a few calls, and manages to reach a mayorial aide - who is greatly confused at all of the commotion. "The Mayor is out of town visiting a neighbouring country," he explains. ____ aborts the mission, sensing a trap - and indeed, 15 minutes later City Hall impodes under mysterious circumstances. ____'s superiors are highly impressed with his intelligent and life-saving reasoning under extreme pressure, and he receives a new commission as Counter-Intelligence. "Use the Parachutes" 15% Chance ____ knows that they'll lose precious time if they go on foot - those crowds are dangerous and unpredictable. He prepares his troops and they board an airlift, preparing to parachute down to the roof of City Hall. As they approach, they are all shocked to see the Hall genuinely alight the fires are quite persistant and there is real danger ahead. ____ jumps first, sailing through the air - but when he lands, he manages to land on a structurally unstable piece of roof that caves beneath his weight. ____ lands hard, and immediately senses that his leg is broken by the odd angle and sharp pain. His well-trained group of soldiers manages to find the Mayor and rescue their leader too - but the injury keeps ____ off his feet, causing him to lose 2 Body skill points. ********************** *Counter-Intelligence* **********************

The enemy has made recent headway with its latest attempt to crack the SimCity Security Systems Database. ____ has been assigned to launch targeted counterintelligence measures, but with the highly classified nature of all information within the agency, ____ finds himself in the embarrassing position of not knowing exactly who the "enemy" is. He tosses a few subtle questions out while in the lunch line, but begins to get the distinct feeling that no one in the bureau has any idea who or what it is that they are fighting against. However, orders are orders, and ____ is going to have to come up with something. He could play it new school, unleashing a horde of his newly coded "double-agent" firewall replicator network probes, or he could keep it old school and go with a barrage of wire taps and traces. "Network Probes" 15% Chance After spending some time with data collected by his network fetch-bots, ____ decides that it's time to try out his new firewall replicator network probes. He has designed them to be stealthy and leave no trace, so he's pretty sure that he can use them to disrupt the work of The Enemy, while at the same time leaving them guessing about what happened. Sure enough, as soon as he releases his tiny agents, he sees that they have located the point of the attack. Without hesitation he sends his probes in and disrupts the attacker's code with a blast of binary logic. As the attacker had not been expecting such a counter-attack, ____ is able to neutralise the vulnerability that they were exploiting before they try again. ____ gains 2 Mechanical skill points for this display of technical prowess. "Network Probes" 85% Chance ____ sees his chance to try out his brand new "double-agent" network probes to sniff out the root of the problem. Of course, he has to disable a few system security checks to get the probes to work, but ____ isn't worried he can head off any intrusion at the pass himself. When ____'s commander asks to see him a few minutes later, ____ leaves his station unattended and returns to witness a complete meltdown of the database server. Those disabled checks allowed some very malicious agents into the system, and they've lost days of unrecoverable classified data, some of which has leaked to outside sources. ____'s arrogance and disregard for protocol earns him a dishonourable discharge from the service - he's out of a job. "Wire-Taps" 85% Chance ____ has always been fascinated by cellular phone technology, and his days as a l33t hacker in his youth introduced him to several sophisticated ways to breaking into wireless conservations. Determined to trace the culprits, ____ obtains permission to execute a wide-range wireless-sweep. When the next database attack goes down, ____ sweeps the local frequencies and manages to find a conservation about the attack on the airwaves! By using the phone number he retrieves, ____ is able to track the conservants through their service providers, which eventually enables warrants and arrests in the case. The department is ecstatic, and ____ reaps a windfall of �2000 thanks to an internal reward for the criminals' capture. "Wire-Taps" 15% Chance Upon receipts of his orders, ____ decides the best approach is to immediately tap all communications lines that lead to the database, thereby catching the incoming transmission of the hack, and hopefully figuring out where it's coming from. If things go right, he'll have the whole thing wrapped up as soon as another hack attempt is made. Unfortunately for ____ things do not go right. A short time after the wire taps are in place, the telltale signs of a hack in progress start flashing on ____'s screen ... but his wiretaps see no unusual traffic. It seems the hacker has outsmarted him within the

building, rather than doing this long-distance! Before ____ has a chance to react, the hack is completed and some information is downloaded. Once word gets out that someone in the department is to blame, everyone, including ____, is docked a week's pay. **************** *Flight Officer* **************** Growing weary of all the "Peacetime" restrictions - no dog-fighting with commercial airliners, no buzzing private control towers, no launching laser guided missiles into peaceful civilian protests - _____ and his fellow Flight Officers decide to make a little fun for themselves. They hop in a couple of fighter jets and head out to international waters, where the rules get a bit more "fuzzy" when it comes to 'who blew up who first with a heat-seeking computer aided anti-aircraft missile'. Within minutes, _____ spots a pair of bogeys who are clearly far from home, maybe even as far as RedCity - but wherever they're from, things are about to get a whole lot more interesting. Should _____ engage the enemy, or attempt to establish radio contact and warn the unindentified aircraft that they are trespassing in SimCity controlled air? "Engage" 15% Chance Knowing there is no tiome to lose, ____ activates his weapons system and locks onto the unidentified aircraft. Following standard operating procedure, he then duly warns the unidentified aircraft that it's about to be shot down unless it leaves ... immediately. Receiving no reply, ____ decides to use his Mark 83 Radar Guided Homing Fire and Forget Exploding Missiles, or M83RGHFFEM for short. He fires a volley from 44 miles away, and waits for his computer while it confirms his kill. Only seconds later, ____ sees confirmation that he has hit his target. His radar also confirms that the target is going down. ____ notes the coordinates and returns home. Of course, none of this is offical or on the record, and it never really happened ... at least so says the SimCity Air Force. ____ is quietly rewarded for his service to his country with a �3000 bonus in his paycheck. "Engage" 85% Chance ____ hadn't really expected to meet up with any aircraft way out in the middle of nowhere - and in his panic, he complete forgets the firing sequence procedures. Desperately, he reaches for his flight manual, which he keeps handy for just such an emergency. Precious seconds slip away as ____ flips through the index looking for "Firing Missiles". After what seems like an eternity, he finds what he needs. Relieved and back in control, ____ grabs his controls and prepares to fire. It's right around the moment when he notices his radar screen is blank. While he was scrambling to get his airplane ready to fire, his bogey spotted him and left the area in a hurry. Darn that index! ____ loses 2 Mechanical skill points for his dependance upon the manual. "Contact Base" 85% Chance ____ contacts the base and sets out for visual identification. Gleefully, ____ hits his afterburners and makes full use of his g-suit as he's hit by 7Gs of acceleration. It's not long before he sees his bogey. As ____ closes in for a better look, he describes what he sees: "Base, looks like a cylinder from here... I can't tell what sort of jet it is. Wait, I think it sees me, it's moving. In fact....it's....incredible! It looks like it accelerated to well over Mach 10...holy cow, it disappeared!" Hours later, ____ is welcomed back to home base, where he's immediately debriefed and sworn to secrecy. The SimCity Air Force quickly offloads all the recording hardware in his plane for

study. While he gets no information from his debriefers, _____ knows he's seen something extremely unusual, and survived to tell the tale. _____ gains 1 Body Skill point for his expert flying. "Contact Base" 15% Chance ____ remembers how to handle contact with rogue aircraft: Inform the base and get visual information. After raising a radio alert, ____ hits the afterburners and quickly closes in on his bogey. As he moves in, ____ notices something rather unusual about his target: it's so slow that it can't possibly be any sort of normal aircraft. Straining his neck, ____ looks around, trying to spot it. As soon as he does, he understands what his instruments were telling him. It's a weather balloon! It seems some SimCity scientist's project has drifted way out of normal operating ranges. Fortunately, for ____ there's nothing harmful about the balloon and he can continue his patrol. Unfortunately, it hardly calls for the level of alertness that he caused when he radio in his alert. Although no harm was done, ____ gains a reputation for "crying wolf" and loses 1 Charisma point. **************** *Senior Officer* **************** While out on a routine inspection patrol in the rocky SimCity foothills, a lieutenant in ____'s division recounters a rare species of poisonous frog. ____ spots the danger immediately and calls out a warning, but is too late, and the soldier drops to the ground unconscious. The ailing Sim is rushed back to base camp. During the confusion, the frog manages to slip away unnoticed. ____ knows that importance of identifying the poison in order to improve the soldier's chance of recovery. As an experienced soldier, ____ is quite capable of finding and safely capturing the frog, but it might take too long. If he orders the rest of his unit to help him find the frog, he's not sure that they'll be able to capture it safely. Should ____ attempt a potentially lengthy search by himself, or should he have his squad help out? "Search Alone" 15% Chance ____'s junior officers are visibly spooked, and he makes the call to do the search himself. Fortunately, ____ has spent training time in outdoor survival - and one basic technique taught to every survival student is the art of tracking amphibians in terrestrial environments. It's not long before ____ spots the frog and makes his move. Taking his field jacket off, he carefully uses it to scoop up the toad, making sure that no part of the frog touches his skin. He'll have to jet a new jacket, but there's no helping that now. Quickly ____ radios for a EVAC and relays the frog to the hospital. A few days later, the poisoned soldier gratefully thanks him for the rescue, and goodnaturedly sits through ____'s lecture about frog safety. ____ gains 1 Body point for his performance in the woods, and 1 Charisma point for the added respect he has gained from his troops. "Search Alone" 85% Chance Frogs can be extremely poisonous, and ____ does not want to risk anyone else in his command looking for this potential killer - so he sets off on his own. The ground is quite dry, and there are hardly any signs visible to his trained eye. The woods seem devoid of life. ____ desperately tries to retrace his steps (and the frog's), but to no avail. It's not until half an hour later that he spots the bright coloured miscreant hiding in the shade. He manages to capture it and sent it back to the Hospital, but it's too late for the soldier. Although not enough poison was present for a fatal injury, the soldier sustained severe trauma to his nervous system and will likely be

discharged from the service. Devastated by the news, ____ feels completely lost as guilt due to his failure destroys his self-confidence. ____ loses 1 Charisma and 1 Mechanical skill point due to his depression. "Whole Squad" 85% Chance This is no time to be a hero: every second counts! ____ orders his officers to help search for the missing frog. It's not long before the trail is found, as most officers are proficient in amphibian tracking in terrestrial environments (one of the most popular elective classes at the Academy). They find the frog hidden under some leaves. Together, the officers fashion a makeshift cage and trap the frog without bringing it into contact with their skin. Once they have completed the capture, they rush off in an airlift to the hospital. The medical staff quickly determines the poison as soon as they see the frog, and they quickly apply the antidote to the affected area. The doctors commend the team, as it turns out the poison would have been crippling for the soldier had they not administered the exact antidote as quickly as they did. ____ gains a performance bonus of �5000 for his role in the rescue. "Whole Squad" 15% Chance There is no time to be a hero: every second counts! ____ orders his officers to ghelp search for the missing frog. It's not long before the trail is found, and the officers close in for the capture. Before ____ can react, several of them reach forward and grab the frog ... only to fall senseless to the ground. In their haste, ____'s officers have forgotten their frog safety training! Frantically, ____ calls for an airlift for the stricken officers. The remaining soldiers help ____ capture the frog safely and deliver it to the hospital. While they arrive in time to administer an antidote to most of ____'s officers, the first victim is not so lucky: the frog's poison has done lasting damage to his nervous system. As senior officer present, ____ takes full responsibility for the improper toad safety procedures in the field, and is demoted for endangering the safety of his team. *********** *Commander* *********** "One dreary morning, ____ receives a confidential memo informing him that several recruits have been accused of leaking sensitive government information to enemy factions. While this would ordinarily be a cut-and-dry case (court marshal and dishonourable discharge, plus jail time), one of the accused is the son of a high-ranking, powerful General. Over the course of the day, ____ is "informed" that perhaps it might be best if he quietly pardoned the offenders and let them off the hook. ____'s conscience is torn, should he stick to the rules and risk the General's wrath, or should he take the easy way out? "Book 'em" 85% Chance ____ refuses to be bullied by someone just because they outrank him. Ignoring the veiled warnings, ____ arranges for a swift trial of the soldiers, and ensures that every protocol is followed to the letter. As the date of the court marshal approaches, ____ finds himself receiving death threats and harrssing phone calls and emails - yet he does not arrange for a pardon. During the trial, the General's son drops a bomb, he reveals that he was framed by his own father for attempting to expose his dad's scandalous traffic in government secrets. The evidence produced by the defence is overwhelming - the soldiers are acquitted, and the General is jailed for

treason and removed from the Service. In the course of the proceedings, ____ is hailed for standing up to the General's pressure - so much so that the new General sees to it that ____ receives a promotion to Astronaut. "Book 'em" 15% Chance ____ fears for his job safety, but at the same time he can't stand by and watch the General make a mockery of the military. He informs the appropriate individuals about the accusations and arranges for a court date. Almost immediately, life on the job becomes unbearable. "Mysterious" computer failures, thefts from his office, and threatening phone calls abound. ____ is astonished that his coworkers are willing to sit by and watch this happening to him. Eventually, one of ____'s mentors recommends that he take an extended leave until things cool off. Facing no other option, ____ takes a sabbatical. When he returns, ____ finds that he has lost 1 Body point and 1 Charisma point during his rest, but is otherwise left alone in the aftermath of the trial. "Pardon 'em" 15% Chance ____ is so close to Astronaut that he can taste it - and while it feels somewhat strong, this seems like the perfect way to move up. An anonymous tipster informs ____ that a pardon would be "amply rewarded." ____ heeds the whispered warnings and threats, and paves the way for a swift, silent pardon. He waits for his reward, and in a few days he is wired �30,000 from an anonymous donor "for his continued silence". But the promotion ____ was hoping for never comes - and ____ later discovers that not only was the General's son guilty, but he continued to abuse his position after the pardon. ____ is left feeling betrayed, having only �30,000 in "dirty" money to console him in shame and disappointment. "Pardon 'em" 85% Chance The General is an intimidating person and ____ fears for his safety if he does not acquiesce to his wishes. ____ quietly admits defeat and pulls some strings in order to arrange for a full pardon in the matter. It is only a few weeks later that the news breaks: the division is being investigated by the Government for allegations of corruption and wrongdoing. The General is charged and convicted of treason, but in the process he implicates ____ as a conspirator for his role in the pardons of his guilty son. ____ is reprimanded, fined �10,000 and is demoted to Senior Officer *********** *Astronaut* *********** ____ and his crew have been training to command the first remote probe to land on the surface of Venus, but recent satellite images have revealed what may be the final stages of a mobile launch platform in the heart of RedCity. This could be bad for ____'s career; its appears as though RedCity may beat him in the space race. But ____ has a secret weapon: It's a mission that would use similar technology as the Venus lander, but will transform the module into a submersible to explore the vast uncharted depths of the ocean floor. ____ could put the Venus mission on overdrive and attempt to land the module prematurely, or ____ could scrap the mission and put "Operation Unknown Ocean" into full effect. "Explore Venus" 15% Chance ____ finds Venus far more exciting than the bottom of our own ocean. At the moment, the SimSpace Program can use all the good publicity it can get, and winning the Venus challenge is worth a lot of media points. Before ____ really

has the time to think about it, the countdown has started and he's sitting at the Virtual Console, getting the feel of the probe. With practiced ease, he starts the landing procedures. He knows that the signal lag caused by the huge distance between Venus and Earth is so severe that if anything goes wrong, the probe will be history before he knows it. But ____ manages a perfect maneuver. Without so much as a single engine misfire, the sturdy SimCity Venus Probe sets down on the basaltic Venusian rocks. The weather today is very mild: only 894 degrees Fahrenheit. A very nice day on Venus, and a very good day for ____ and the SimSpace Program. ____ is promoted to General. "Explore Venus" 85% Chance The decision is made to let ____ attempt the remote landing of the Venus probe. Very carefully, he guides the probe down - but ____ can't help thinking that there's something very wrong. He's not quite sure what the problem is, but the feeling won't go away. Unable to put words to his feeling of doom, he continues the landing procedure. Carefully, he watches the telemetry and applies thrust to brake the probe - but his stomach sinks as he sees that the probe is not responding! What's going on? Suddenly ____ understands: he'd completely forgotton about the time delay between when the signals are sent from Venus, and when he receives them on Earth! The braking thrusters eventually fire, but too late - ____ watches in horror as the probe smahes onto the surface of Venus at a disastrous velocity. It seems that this mission is over, as is ____'s career in the military "Explore Ocean" 85% Chance Venus is an extremely harsh environment. ____ knows that there is nothing he can do to speed up the landing of the probe. If he wants praise for discovering uncharted territories, he's going to have to look in Earth's own oceans. Without any hesitation, ____ storms into the SimSpace board room and purposes his aquatic plan. Expertly avoiding the question about how he funded his side-project, ____ convinces everyone that his project is exactly what they need. In a matter of minutes, activity bustles in ____'s office as scientists cram into it to hear his briefing. Just a few day's later, word of the expeditation "leaks" and antipication is high. With such exciting explorations going on close to home, people forget about Venus and "oceanfever" grows. ____'s plan succeeds beyond expectations, and ____ is awarded a �50,000 National Innovators Award for his project. "Explore Ocean" 15% Chance Knowing that there is no purpose in attempting a haphazard Venus landing that could endanger the program, ____ decides to unveil his ocean exploration project and proposes it as a solution. He prints out copies of his reports, gather his pile of dusty proposals, and lugs them to the Space Director's office. After spending half and hour introducing his pet project, the general convene for a short meeting. Quicker than he thought possible, ____'s office is ransacked of all material pertaining to his project so that SimSpace can fully develop the program. Unfortunately for ____, he's deemed too important to the Venus project and he's permanently assigned to see it through. Meanwhile, development on the Oceanus probe continues without ____'s help. To add insult to injury, ____ is fined �25,000 for misappropiration of government assets and personal project use. ********* *General* ********* It's a quiet day in ____'s posh, oak-paneled office suite when his private

phone springs to life. Picking it up, ____ is mildly astonished to recognize the President's voice on the other end of the phone line. Apparently, there is credible evidence that a major satellite may be breaking orbit irregularly, putting it at a crash risk with several highly populated areas. It's a serious concern, and the President wants ____'s advice as a vertain of land, air and space. Should they make an emergency shuttle launch to intercept the satellite, or should they attempt to use their sophisticated missile system to vaporise the falling satellite into harmless debris? "Intercept" 85% Chance ____ doesn't know much about the satellite, but it sounds easy enough to send up a spaceship and knock the satellite back into alignment. He informs the President that they should send up a crew to correct the situation - but in a fit of heroism or egoism, he insists on leading the crew personally into space. Despite protest from some of his colleagues, ____ makes good on his plans and launches into orbit with the rest of his crew. But ____ hasn't been up in space in ages. He becomes disoriented during a spacewalk at the satellite and accidently damages a reflector with his umbilicial cord. ____'s crew has to bail him out since his cord has become damaged, and he spends the rest of the mission onboard the spaceship, watching his team become heroes. ____ loses 2 Mechanical Points and 2 Charisma Points as a result of his stubborn "heroics", and is demoted to Astronaut to work on his spacewalking skills. "Intercept" 15% Chance ____ doesn't want to lose that satellite, and he confidently informs the President that they should send up an intercept team immediately to correct the satellite's orbit, and to junk it if need be. ____ hand-picks the team and stations himself in Mission Control, ready to give commands to the team at a moment's notice. The astronauts were trained by ____ himself, and they skillfully manouver the robotic arm to snag the delicate equipment and change it's course - without knocking it into a collision course with the planet. Several specialists go out and work on the satellite directly, correcting the navigational systems and repairing the broken reflector that started it all. ____'s leadership and his skilled team manage to save the billionSimoleon satellite, and prevent any risk to the planet. ____ is awarded �20,000 as a performance bonus, and his team become the stuff of SimSpace legend. "Vaporize" 85% Chance ____ does a quick analysis and determines that it's safer and cheaper to neutralise the satellite than to try and salvage it. He gains authorisation to use the national defence missile systems to shoot down the satellite over the ocean. It's a risky operation, and his aim needs to be perfect - there may not be a chance for a second shot. When the satellite is seen entering the atmosphere, ____ descends into a buried bunker that serves as the defence command center. With sweaty hands, he enters his command mode, takes aim, and fires. The entire control room is silent as they watch the missile making its way - if this misses, they're in big trouble. Like clockwork, the missile makes it mark and destroys the satellite far from any signs of civilisation, and the debris falls harmlessly over the ocean. ____ is commended and receives a �55,000 reward for averting a disaster. "Vaporize" 15% Chance ____ explores the options, and decides that an outer space mission is too expensive. After talking it over with the President, ____ convinces him that a missile intercept is the best and most direct option. ____ spends the next few days in intense planning meetings. He begins to realise

that perhaps the spaceship approach is the better plan, and that's out of his league, but ____ never speaks up or asks for assistance, stubborning wishing to complete this task on his own. When the day comes and the satellite falls to Earth, ____ descends into Defence Command, prepares and fires - but his calculations were wrong! His missile barely grazes the satellite before self-destructing, and the military is forced to evacuate part of a coastal city. The resulting impact costs billions to repairs and scares the public - and ____ loses his job due to his poor judgement. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[15.07] Slacker ************ *Golf Caddy* ************ ____ is caddying for Malcolm Landgrabb, head of Landgrabb Enterprises, who has just hit his second shot into the rought about 65 yards from the green. The business tycoon leans over and asks ____ whether he should use a nine iron or a wedge. ____debates how to respond. "I dunno" 85% Chance Just as ____'s shrugging and looking at her feet, Mr. Landgrabb's cell phone rings. Wrightway Toys has just been acquired by Landgrabb Industries, making Malcolm Landgrabb the third richest man in the city. He celebrates the good news by buying everyone a round of drinks and tipping ___ an extra �50. "I dunno" 15% Chance Malcolm Landgrabb isn't pleased, but ____ didn't take this gig to answer stupid questions about some boring game. When she gets back to the clubhouse, her boss is waiting to see her with a pink slip in hand. ____'s lost her job. "Whatever" 15% Chance While ____ stares apathetically at her shoes and tries to formulate an answer that will make the land baron stop asking her such ridiculous questions, she notices something stuck to the chets of one of her thrift store golf stores. It turns out to be �20 Simoleons! "Whatever" 85% Chance Langrabb pulls out the nine iron, and ____ begrudgingly follows him to his ball. Mid backswing, the sky turns dark ... There is a blinding flash, followed by a thunderous crash. ____ is thrown back to the ground, and it looks like ____ has been struct by lightning. ____ shrugs, lays the man's golf bag next to him, and heads back to the clubhouse for a corn dog. *********************** *Gas Station Attendant* *********************** ____ is sitting in her tiny sales kiosk listening to the sound of the rain beating against the bullet-proof glass. She has just begun to debate whether she should eat a YumCo Tiny-Cake or try one of the new flavours of Mystery Cheese Food, when a racy new sports car pulls up to the full-service pump and honks for service. Should ____ go on break, or just pretend not to notice? "On Break" 85% Chance ____ grabs a magazine and some snacks and leans down against the warm

generator at the base of the Frozen Treats Cooler. As she takes her first bite of delicious YumCo Tiny-Cake, she notices a golden ticket stuck to the wrapper with creamy gelatinous frosting. ____'s won 4th prize in the Yucca instant win sweepstakes! She cashes in her ticket for a cool �500 smackers. "On Break" 15% Chance ____ grabs a magazine and goes to pour herself a cup of house blend, but the built-up grease from countless Tiny-Cakes and cheese food products causes the carafe to slip from ____'s hand, splattering her with steaming hot gas station coffee. The carafe explodes as it hits the linoleum, and ____ is forced to shell out 50 big ones to replace it. "Pretend" 15% Chance ____ swivels her stool to face away from the pesky customer and looks over the kiosk's bounty of candy, cakes, and pies. To combat her boredom, she decides to scratch off a few instant win lottery tickets. The fifth one pays off, and ____ cashes it in for a quick and easy �100. "Pretend" 85% Chance The hot head in the sports car, finally, after like 10 minutes of non-stop honking, pulls away in a cloud of smoke and burnt rubber. A few minutes later ____'s boss calls, and it looks like he's angry about something, though ____ has no idea what he's saying through his nearly unintelligible accent. ____ hangs up on him, but discovers later that she's been docked a day's pay. ************************* *Convenience Store Clerk* ************************* The store is empty, except of course for Crazy Bill (who just hangs out in the canned goods section talking about how he used to work for some big company that invested apricots), so ____ decides to walk around with a broom and pretend she's sweeping. She spots a coin beneath the FriggleFreeze machine and jams the broom back behind the compressor to try to get it out. The machine goes haywireand starts spewing frozen Friggly liquid everywhere. Should ____ try to fix it with duct tape or with chewing gum? "Duct Tape" 50% Chance Thinking like all the quick thinking actors she's seen on television, ____ grabs a roll of duct tape from the Hardware/Baby Food aisle and tapes the corrugated anti-drip nozzle gaurd to the primary guard seal. To ____'s amazement, it works! ____ earns 1 mechanical skill point and pours herself and Crazy Bill a Friggly on the house. "Duct Tape" 50% Chance ____ grabs a roll of duct tape and attempts to stick the metal s-shaped thingy that sort-of-looks like a swan, but she gets the sticky and smooth sides of the tape twisted. She tries to fix the tape, but only succeeds in getting her hair stuck in the intake vent. While she's stuck, three bored teenagers swipe a bunch of candy and magazines from the store. The theft comes out of ____'s paycheck, and costs her a day's pay.

"Power Plant" 85% Chance ____ hopes that the special forces' high-tech artillery will be able to handle the rampaging robot, and she takes to the sky to handle the power plant herself.

She has one last bit of cleanup to do for the night when the head chef, Lefromage, runs frantically into the kitchen, arms flailing like a dying lobster. "Mon Dieu! A critic has come, and ze staff has gone home for ze night! Can you help cook?" Can ____ trust herself not to set the kitchen on fire, or should she stick to the dishpan hands? "Keep Cleaning" 85% Chance ____ doesn't feel confident enough to help prepare food, and besides - that last stack of plates really stinks! As she's finishing her last scrubbing, Lefromage frantically appears - the "critic" has revealed himself to be a county health inspector! ____ frantically disposes of the wandering roaches and cleans up the rest of the mess in the sink before giving him a tour of the kitchen.

"Keep Cleaning" 15% Chance Lefromage is very upset at ____'s refusal. "Ze insolence!" he cries. Visibly flustered, he does his best to finish the meal satisfactorily, but somehow the lobster in pickle sauce doesn't seem quite right. In the end, the critic is quite displeased with the lackluster food and promises to write an unfavourable review. He is true to his word: a few days after the scathing review, the restaurant shuts down, taking ____'s job along with it. Zut alors!

"Fire up the Burner!" 15% Chance ____ agrees to help cook, and Lefromage issues a few preparations instructions before going out to take the critic's order. Mercifully, he choses a deliciously simple dish - in fact, ____ has disposed of the leftovers of this dish so many times that she could make it in her sleep! (A few scallions there, some orange peel here...) The critic is delighted. After securing the rave review, Lefromage offers ____ private cooking lessons as his thanks for a job well done, neting ____ 2 cooking points from the expert tutelage. "Fire up the Burner!" 85% Chance When the order comes in, chaos ensues - and ____'s peanut butter sandwich don't help her in the slightest. She absent-mindedly sets her dishrag down on the cook stove and starts a fire that consumes most of the dish intended for the critic! A few overcooked escargots later, the critic leaves several shades of red darker than the tomatoes that survived the fire. Lefromage, serious at being misled about ____'s cooking expertise, docks her a full day's pay for the embarrassing incident. ********************* *Drive Through Clerk* ********************* It's late, and ____ is working the drive-through all by his lonesome - lots of responsibility for little pay. Suddenly, the otherwise quiet night is ruined when local rich kid Mimi Landgrabb and some of her hoodlum friends pull up ( ____ recognizes them by the indecent language coming through the tiny speaker.) From what he's heard from other employees, _____ is pretty sure they're going to drive off without paying. Should he fill out the order, or should he treat them to a bit of their own medicine? "Fries with that?" 15% Chance Although he's surely tempted, ____'s never been one for pranks - especially when they might cost him a job. Even though it will probably come out of his salary, he fills the order and hands it off to Mimi. Much to ____'s surprise, Mimi winks at him and hands him 200 Simoleons. "Keep the change, cutie." The car speeds away, and ____ can't help and smile at his profitable turn of events. (Did she call him a cutie?) ____ pockets �150. "Fries with that?" 85% Chance ____ dutifully fills the order to the letter, grumbling under her breath the entire time. She reluctantly hands the greasy bags of burgers over to Dudley's crew, and they shove a few bills in her hand before speeding off. Relieved, ____ sets the money down and takes a deep breath! She didn't think they'd really pay! It's not until they're long gone that she looks down and realises that they've given her FAKE money. Looks like that �100 Simoleon order is coming out of ____'s pocket. "Teach them a lesson!" 85% Chance Tired of taking flak from ungrateful customers, ____ decides to take matters into her own hands. With a mischievous grin, she discreetly fills several fast food bags with empty cartons. For the top of the bags, ____ grabs some of the oldest food they've got left in the kitchen. As expected, Dudley's crew snatches the bags and speeds off without paying - or checking their orders. Oddly enough, they stopped showing up - to the delight of the entire staff. ____'s creative problem solving tactics earn her 1 Creativity point. "Teach them a lesson!" 15% Chance

Tired of taking flak from ungrateful customers, ____ dedides to take matters into her own hands. She fills the bags with crumpled paper, adding a few containers of French fries on top to make things seem realistic. What she didn't expect was a hungry Dudley handing her a wad of Simoleons, then rifling through the bag for his burger. "Hey! You tried to stiff us!" he cries after realising what's happened. "I'm gonna tell my DAD!" The wealthy Landgrabbs file a complaint against ____, who is quickly fired. ************************* *Fast Food Shift Manager* ************************* The movie theater down the street just let out and ____'s restaurant is PACKED. (One might think they'd be full after those absurdly sized movie drinks, but no such luck.) He's barking orders left and right when suddenly the unthinkable happens: the Uberburger 3000 breaks down in an entirely ungraceful puff of smoke. Now the restaurant smells like charcoal and there isn't a burger in sight. Should he try to keep going without the Uberburger, or take the repair into his own hands? "Who needs Burgers?" 85% Chance Who needs burgers anyway? While his staff out front is explaining the situation, _____ makes an emergency run and begins preparing some of his ultra-secret-recipe VeggieMight burgers. he ravenous hordes of customers are so hungry that they'll try anything - but once they've tried his "burgers", they just can't get enough! When _____'s manager Jennie arrives and sees hundreds of happy customers, it's clear to her that _____'s true calling is in the kitchen. _____ is promoted to Host for the VeggieMight sensation. "Who needs Burgers?" 15% Chance _____ sees the throngs of customers and knows that there's profit to be had. He instructs his staff to deep-fry the hamburger patties instead of sending them through the Uberburger. Unfortunately, this backfires and breaks the Frency fry fryers as well. Now the entire kitchen is filled with acrid smoke and an undeniable stench. The customers back out of the restaurant in horror, and the incompetence of the staff makes the local news. _____'s furious boss docks �500 for the repair of BOTH machines from _____'s modest paycheck. "Roll up those Sleeves!" 15% Chance ____ tries pressing all of the Uberburger's buttons like a three-year-old in a spaceship, but that doesn't seem to help. In her frustration, ____ remembers overhearing the repairman talking about the Uberburger's powerful air intake. Apparently, it has a tendency to suck up kitchen utensils like a vacuum! Making sure to shut things down first, ____ unscrews the back plate and discovers an Ultra Mega Super-sized milkshake cup embedded in the main conveyor. She carefully extracts the cup and brings the Uberburger roaring back to life. ____ gains one Logic point and a modest bonus for her cost-saving heroics. "Roll up those Sleeves!" 85% Chance Eager to be a hero, _____ digs up a greasy screwdriver and rolls up his sleeves. "It's probably just a patty jammed somewhere," he thinks to himself. Recklessly, _____ unscrews a panel despite the large "Caution" display on the front. As soon as the panel is removed, a small piece of machinery springs out and bounces around the kitchen, eventually hitting the fry cook in the head and injuring him before falling into the fryer. _____'s irresponsible disregard for safety precautions costs him a demotion to Fast Food Order Taker and a Logic skill point.

****** *Host* ****** It's every restaurant's worst nightmare: the party of 25 teenagers with no reservations. They showed up on the doorstep with no warning, and they're getting rambunctious while they're waiting for a table. At this point, they're starting to annoy the other guests. ____ could tell them that there's no room and hope they don't make a scene, or she could make room for them by asking that last elderly group she's waiting on to leave. (They haven't ordered anything in 40 minutes!) Who gets the boot? "The Grandparents" 15% Chance Grimacing, ____ approaches the table of friendly looking folks and hopes that she doesn't offend them. It turns out that they're new to the area and they don't know where to find a good hotel room. Coincidentally, ____'s cousin happens to work at a nearby hotel, so she provides them with a phone number and a very nice referral rate. Delighted, the group makes to leave, and they hand ____ a VERY generous tip on their way out. ____ promptly seats the surprisingly grateful teenage group and by the end of the night she finds herself with a record �400 in tips and some very satisfied customers. "The Grandparents" 85% Chance ____ walks over to the elderly group and tries to explain the situation to them. But it's been a long day, and ____'s not watching her tone of voice as much as she should. The patrons take offense, pointing out that they spent a good deal of money and are now enjoying their unlimited refills of coffee. They call over ____'s boss, and ____ is chided for being so inconsiderate of "some of our best customers!" At the end of the night, ____'s boss approaches her and tells her that she's really not ready for hosting after all. ____ is demoted to Fast Food Manager. "Those Darn Kids" 85% Chance ____ decides it's just not going to be feasible to seat the huge group together, and she grudgingly walks over to talk to them. As an alternative, ____ offers two smaller tables and some free appetizers [courtesy of her stock of "emergency" freebies from the manager.] As it turns out, the group is surprisingly willing to accept smaller tables. Apparently all of the other restaurants in the area turned them away just because they looked like trouble! The teens have a great time, give a nice tip, and one of them sends a compliment to ____'s manager. Her calm decision-making earns her a promotion to the wait staff, where her mettle under fire will come in very handy indeed. "Those Darn Kids" 15% Chance ____ walks over to the teens and explains that they're very busy tonight, and that they probably won't have room for the whole group. "Well, what's all that space over there?" one asks, pointing at the area next to the elderly couple. At a loss for a response, ____ asks them to leave, and the group becomes irate. Somebody asks to speak to a manager. ____ reluctantly fetches her boss, who quickly defuses the situation by splitting the group up into two smaller groups and plying them with a few free appetizers. ____ loses 2 creativity points for failing to find a better solution to the problem. ******** *Waiter*

******** That trail of fainting girls outside can only mean one thing - swoonworthy teen heartthrob Simon Simmy has arrived at ____'s restaurant! ____ has been granted the dubious honor of serving Simmy, and the picky star is sure keeping her hands full. He's currently demanding an expensive brand of water "Vapour" - that's only sold at one place in all of SimCity. Since the cooks are busy, it's up to ____ to retrieve it. Should she make the run and give up her tips at the other tables she's working, or should she secretly substitute tap water for Simon's fancy water? "Play Fetch" 85% Chance ____'s a little infatuated with Simon - although she's never admitted it to anyone - so she's glad to run out into the night for him. There's no line at the beverage shop, so she's in and out and is back at the restaurant within 15 minutes. Simon can immediately tell the difference - he winks at ____ through his long blond (and remarkably effeminate) hair. At the end of the evening, Simon stops to chat with ____ a bit, and when he discovers that she's trying to break into cooking, he generously offers to set her up at one of his new restaurants in the city. ____ is promoted to Prep Cook! "Play Fetch" 15% Chance Hoping to score a monster tip, ____ hands off her other tables to a fellow waitress and runs out into the night. The beverage shop is extremely busy, and she has to wait longer than she'd like for her purchase. As soon as she has the bags-in-hand, she speeds off without double-checking the order not realising that she inadvertently asked for the wrong brand! Once at the restaurant, ____ decides to try and serve the wrong water rather than admit the error. Simon, however, can detect the difference easily, and is furious that ____ tried a bait-and-switch. He refuses to pay for the water or leave a tip, and ____ finds herself out of 300 Simoleons. "Try Tap" 15% Chance ____'s coworker offers her a bit of free advice in the kitchen: "Vapour? I've had that stuff. Tastes like tap water with a little apple juice, if you ask me." They look at each other, then run off to the pantry to return with a bottle of apple juice. ____ pours a few glasses straight from the tap and tops each off with a bit of juice before bringing it out to Simon. She takes a breath as Simon tastes a sip - and wonder of wonders, Simon falls for it! He flashes his trademark grin and thanks ____ for making that special trip for him. Once the 30-person entourage leaves, ____ finds that Simon has left her an autographed napkin - and a positively astronomical tip of 500 Simoleons! "Try Tap" 85% Chance ____ has too many other things to worry about to pander to Simon's unreasonable demands. Once she's dealt with the other tables, she pours tap water into fancy glasses with a twist of lemon juice, and brings it out ceremoniously for the VIPs. Simon picks up his glass, takes a sip ... and does a spit-take, drenching everyone at his table. Turning red, Simon splutters, "Are there lemons in this water? I'm ALLERGIC to lemons!" As Simon begins to wheeze, his entourage quickly departs to follow their leader to the hospital, leaving chaos and an unpaid bill in their wake. Mortified, ____'s boss fires her on the spot. *********** *Prep Cook* ***********

A local society dame has contracted with _____'s restaurant to cater her daughter's wedding to a local wealthy businessman. This overly extravagant affair promptly causes headaches for the entire staff: the demands range from the silly (500 miniature swans made entirely of coconut paste) to the impossible ("Can you get powder blue lettuce greens for the salads?"). The sous chef is so busy taking care of the demands that he leaves the decision about the soup ("surprise us!") entirely up to _____. Should she make Italian wedding soup or the less traditional Louisiana Gumbo? "Italian Wedding" 85% Chance Since he's only served his Italian Wedding soup at bar mitzvahs and graduation parties, ____ decides to correct this ironic state of affairs. When the wedding party arrives, ____ notices that the family is Italian, and briefly fears that his creation wasn't good enough for their tastes. He wrings his dishtowel as he peeks out from behind a pillar, waiting to see their reaction - and it's an absoulte success. "Buonnissima!" bellows the bride's father, and he insists upon ____'s services for all of his company's gatherings. Overjoyed at the new business, ____'s employers give him a tidy cut of the profits from the new bookings: he gains �2,000 and 1 Cooking point for his scrumpious creation. "Italian Wedding" 15% Chance Opting for the safer option, ____ decides she'd rather go with the Italian Wedding soup. Creative, no, but it's tradition. She prepares the soup conscientiously, and is so proud of how it turns out that she insists on bring it out personally to serve the guests. As she's bringing out the oversized, steaming pot, ____ sees the groom - and realises that it is none other than her high school sweetheart! Distracted, ____ accidently tips over the awkward pot - and the almost-boiling soup rushes over the dessert table next to her, instantly turning all 500 coconut swans into unappetizing white mush. Mortified and ashamed, ____ runs out of the hall. Her boss doesn't fire her, but ____ agrees to pay �1000 in refunds to the clients for her carelessness. "Louisiana Gumbo" 15% Chance Italian Wedding ... is so obvious! ____ would much rather like to surprise her boss with a little bit of creativity. She manages to procure some choice seafood and sets out to create a culinary symphony. Before she can begin, however, she is interrupted by a desperate wedding planner. "Do any of you know how to make sushi? I totally goofed and my clients are furious!" Now, ____'s been known to roll a mean Godzilla Roll in her day, so with a small amount of trepidation she agrees to give it a try. She grabs the seafood she gathered and sets up in the main hall, preparing sushi on request. ____'s services are a huge hit, and there's such a demand that she makes an impression on one of the guests, who also happens to be opening a Japanese fusion restaurant in the months ahead. The businessman offers ____ a promotion to Sous Chef at his new establishment, and she gladly accepts! "Louisiana Gumbo" 85% Chance Cajun cooking holds a special place in _____'s heart so she decides to favor her own taste and whip up a large batch of fresh Louisiana Gumbo. She throws in everything but the kitchen sink: there's more aquatic life in that soup than the average aquarium! But _____ is so busy with preparations that she doesn't remember the problems that local seafood restaurants in the area are having with sick patrons. When the gumbo is unveiled to the hungry throngs at the wedding, they greedily consume it - and it's only a short while before the groom gets sick on the bride's shoes during their first dance. It's a

full-blown disaster, and several guests are sent to the hospital. _____ ends up taking the fall for her grievous gumbo, losing her job and a cooking point to boot. *********** *Sous Chef* *********** As ____ grows more skilled in his work, he also begins to host dinner parties that gain him respect among his friends. One such friend, who dabbles in publishing, suggest that ____ publish a cookbook to get his name out there, going so far to offer a nice contract. Now all that ____ has to decide is what type of recipes to feature. He could concentrate on Asian dishes, a particular passion of his, or he could try and shoot for the growing low-carb low-sodium low-substance cookbook market. Which book should he write? "Eastern Eats" 85% Chance Refusing to "sell out" to the day's latest dieting crazes, ____ compiles a cookbook with some of his favorite Asian-inspired recipes, just hoping to break even writing about his passion. He pours his heart and soul into that book, weaving anecdotes and stories he's collected throughout the book to give it more character. Serendipitously, just a week before his book's release, scientific studies are published that show that Asian cooking can improve health and help Sims lose weight. The public buys up ____'s thoughtfully crafted tome in droves, and the work is a smashing success. ____ nets a cool 10,000 simoleons from his first royalty check. "Eastern Eats" 15% Chance ____ refuses to sink to the level of those "diet" cookbooks that make a travesty of REAL cooking. She uses her book a a sort of pulpit, where she preaches taste of calories, quality over quick preparations. And it would have been widely successful, too - except for the fact that ____ accidently disclosed several of her restaurant's "secret" recipes in the rush to get her book out. Her employers sue her and win, forcing her publishers to remove the book from the shelves. Now seen as untrustworthy, ____ will have to rebuild trust before being placed in a position of power again. ____ loses �5000 in legal fees and is demoted to Prep Cook. "No-Cal Cooking" 15% Chance ____ is too fond of her personal recipes to give them up, so she instead tries her hand at the new recipes in the no-fuss no-fat category of cookbooks that sells so well nowadays. She ends up needing to take some time off to experiment, and has to dip into her savings to get by for a while. During her time off, she discovers an inventive side to her cooking that never existed before. She works from dawn till dusk in her kitchen, and each day sleeps a satisfied and contented sleep. Excited and inspired, ____ completes a cookbook that displays a daring variety of tastes and cooking styles. The book is a modest success, but ____'s creative growth during her brief vacation has been substantial. ____ gains 3000 Simoleons and 2 Creativity Points. "No-Cal Cooking" 85% Chance Perferring an easier road to success - and lacking the time to think of a creative angle - ____ opts for the simple choice and begins to work on her magnum opus, "No-Cal Cooking". Unfortunately, ramen noodles fail to excite the public no matter how they're portrayed. Meanwhile, a competing cookbook preaches a return to rich cooking and refined tastes, and it's selling like hotcakes. Who woudl have thought that Sims wanted things to taste good? Luckily, ____ breaks even on the endeavour financially. Unfortunately, all

the time she spent working on the book causes her cooking skills to atrophy, and she loses 1 Cooking point. **************** *Executive Chef* **************** ____ has become quite the talk of the town lately - his latest menu has been praised as "a gift from the heavens" and "a miraculous delight." Its not long before entrepreneurial spirits begin to approach him with seeming lucrative endorsement deals. Two of them stand out from the rest - one investor offers to put his name on a new brand of indestructible sporks, while another proposes a branded line of combination food processor/fax machines for the busy household. Which absurd kitchen implement will ____ endorse? "Sporks of Steel" 50% Chance ____'s had a soft spot for sporks ever since those cafeteria lunches in elementary school, so the choice for her is a no-brainer. She begins to have second thoughts during the taping of the infomercial - "You mean I can eat soup AND meat with the SAME utensil? That's AMAZING!" - but she crosses her fingers and hopes for the best. As it turns out, ____'s winning smile and soothing voice are all the public needs to get hooked on sporks. Sporks of Steel are replacing spoons and forks at a respectable pace! While the media may poke fun at her little empire, ____ is very happy to reign as Queen of Sporks, and she manages to amass �20,000 for her successful endorsement. "Sporks of Steel" 50% Chance When ____ read the Sporks of Steel prospectus, one can almost hear the gears spinning in his head. This product is sure to be a winner! Enthused and excited, ____ throws himself wholly behind his endorsement, skipping work to make media appearances and to recuperate from his grueling informerical shooting schedule. But everything comes crashing down when Sim Comsumer magazine runs an expose on the Sporks of Steel, revealing their propensity for breaking in the dishwasher. ____ is lucky to break even after this endeavor, but he returns to work only to find that he's been unceremoniously replaced. ____ is fired! "Blend n' Send" 50% Chance During her deliberations, ____ remembers that she once had a traumatic experience with a spork, and thus decides in favour of the revolutionary Blend n' Send. At first, sales are lukewarm ... until ____ has a TRULY inspired idea. "If you act now, we'll throw in a free cheese grater!" This "amazing stupendous" extra value excite the public, and suddenly the Blend n' Send is selling out nationwide! The product line soon expands to include such technological marvels as the "CompuCooker" and the "TeleToaster". The Blend n' Send product line nets ____ a surprisingly bountiful �50,000 in pure profit. "Blend n' Send" 50% Chance ____ signs on the dotted line and stamps his name on the "Groundbreaking" Blend n' Send. He's so sure of success that he even pledges 20,000 Simoleons to the cause. Unfortunately, someone forgot to tell ____ that fax machines and food processors belong in two entirely seperate rooms. The industry is baffled at this display of complete marketing ineptitude, and consumers are completely indifferent to the product. Dejected and embarrassed, ____ demends that the company remove his name from the product. ____ loses his �20,000 investment and two logic points for his lack of foresight.

*************** *Restauranteur* *************** ____'s line of restaurants is doing fairly well - so well that they've saturated most of the major metropolitan areas. It's time to branch out in a creative direction if business is to be kept at a booming pace. After speaking with her financial advisors, ____ has narrowed her actions down to two potential expansions - establishing a partnership with several major theme park chains, or expanding into airports across the country. Where should she put the dough? "Theme Parks" 15% Chance Observing that families are willing to spare no expense while vacationing at themed resorts, ____ makes her move and signs a contract to install a dozen gourmet food outlet in theme parks and resorts around the country. The returns are almost astonishing - as it turns out, eggs rolls on a stick were the next food fad waiting to happen! ____'s visibility skyrockets, and she's soon a household name. The profits have pleased the park execs so much that ____ soon receives a call from a company executive offering ____ her very own television cooking show! ____ is promoted to Celebrity Chef! "Theme Parks" 85% Chance Remembering sweeter days of roller coasters and overpriced ice cream, ____ chooses to expand her empire into the theme park industry. To fund the venture, she ponies up �30,000 if her own savings. However, it turns out that most kids are too picky to eat dishes like "Candied Calamari", and most vacationers would prefer a simple corn dog or ice cream cone to a full-course meal. ____'s fledging restaurants close swiftly, and she loses her entire investment in the depressing denouement that follows. "Airports" 85% Chance ____ decides to capitalise on flight delays and the recent absense of in-flight meals, and she expands her restaurants to a dozen major airports. This trendy atmosphere and overpriced appetizers are a hugh hit with the eternally black-clad road warriors, and ____'s bright idea to provide wireless internet access to patrons certainly didn't hurt either. Ironically, the airlines themselves begin paying to serve ____'s food on their flights, finding that the name recognition helps their sales too. The resourceful ____ nets �55,000 and one Logic skill point from her restaurant investment. "Airport" 15% Chance A frequent raveller herself, ____ decides that she wants to see her face in every city, and she promptly expands her franchise to a number of important airports. For a few weeks, business is booming - that is, until the largest airline in the country goes bankrupt, throwing the industry into chaos. Airports shut down, flights are cancelled, and the public decides to stay away from the air until everything has cooled down. The recovery a few months later is too late for ____ - her restaurants close after losing enough money to bankrupt the entire chain. ____ loses her restaurants along with one Creativity point and she is demoted to Executive Chef. **************** *Celebrity Chef* **************** What do wealthy celebrity chefs do to ensure their continued place at the top?

Why, they compete in overly complicated televised battle shows, of course! ____ is honored by an invitation from the #1 reality-cooking-competition show, "Steel Cuisine." He's been pitted against on of the most renowned chefs in the industry, Pierre Lefromage. (That name sounds strangly familar ...) The week before the historic competition, ____ recieves a mysterious phone call someone well tell him the secret ingredient to be used for the sum of �50,000. Is ____'s victory worth the shame and risk of cheating? "Stay Honest" 85% Chance ____ wouldn't be able to live with herself if her victory was tarnished by the knowledge that she cheated. She hangs up on the mysterious caller and instead devotes her herself to studying Lefromage's background, strengths, and weaknesses. Suddenly, ____ realises that this is the same chef that worked at the restaurant where she was a dishwasher long ago! Armed with the knowledge, and her vivid memories about those congealed leftovers, ____ bravely enters the battle kitchens. The secret ingredient? Eel. As Lefromage tries desperately to get a hold of the slippery creatures, ____ steps up to the challenge and puts together a 5-course meal, complete with eel-flavoured sorbet for dessert. She takes the championship and the lucrative cash prize of �25,000 - as well as the satification of beating her former boss. "Stay Honest" 15% Chance ____ takes the high road and politely refuses the extra assistance. Imagine what would happen if someone found out! Yet as the competition approaches, ____ becomes so wrapped in television interviews and other media appearances that he doesn't find any time to prepare himself for what comes next. He arrives in the battle kitchens with a great deal of trepidation, and anxiously awaits the unveiling of the secret ingredient ... Red Snapper?!? In all of work, in all of his cooking, he's never worked with snapper before! ____ makes a valient effort, but he is blown away by Lefromage's superior skills and his remarkable composure. ____ suffers an embarrassing loss at Lefromage's hands, costing him two Cooking points - and the resulting loss in patronage at his restaurants cost him �35,000. "Pay the man!" 15% Chance All's fair in food and war - and ____'s not taking any prisoners. Once she has been assured of the secrecy of the exchange, ____ meets the shadowy figure in a run-down bar where he imparts to her in hushed tones the secret ingredient: "Bananas." ____ thanks her informant and returns home, where she spends the next 72 hours devising the perfect banana-inspired menu. She appears on the show calm and collected, but all changes when the ingredient is revealed: "Almonds?!?!" Indignant and anxious, ____ must rethink her strategy. Remarkedly, her anger and her embarrassment at her predicament causes her to work more effciently - she WILL win with a trio of exquisite almond-themed dishes. ____ wins an honest victory [by a narrow margin] and takes home the �150,000 prize - although she only nets �60,000 due to her clandestine payout. "Pay the man!" 85% Chance In a moment of weakness and fear, ____ accepts the stranger's proposition, and trades �50,000 for the information she needs. The information her informant provided allows ____ to prepare a dazzling menu in advance, and when the competition draws to a close ____ emerges as the clear victor. But after a night of celebration and kudos, ____ reads the paper only to discover that she is front-page news! The informant has gone public, and ____ is exposed as a fraud. She is forced to return her winnings, and the public's interest in her drops off completely, despite her many contrite public apologies. ____'s culinary empire crumbles around her as she loses

the �25,000 she paid to her turncoat informant - and her job as a Celebrity Chef. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[15.10] Science ************** *Test Subject* ************** Having grown nearly immune to the electroshock stimulus, the ESP research team is finally convinced that ____ has absolutely no psychic powers whatsoever. So she's been moved on to the Theoretical Color Research division, where her first test involves nothing more than sitting in a sterile test room, selecting one of two colored lengths of licorice and ingesting it. Should ____ eat the red licorice or the blue licorice? "Red" 50% Chance ____ looks over the stark and sterile testing room, the single cold steel table, and the two stems of malleable licorice each in their own little paper cups. She takes the Red licorice, chews it up, and shows her empty mouth to the observation mirror. A solemn voice comes on over the buzzing loud-speaker informing ____ that she has made the correct choice. Not really understanding why, ____ is thanked for her time and sent on her way with a �500 Simoleon bonus. "Red" 50% Chance ____ surveys the brightly lit testing room, noting the oddly shaped glass table strangely reminiscent of dental equipment. Lost in thought, a soft voice comes on over the crackling loud speaker reminding ____ that the choice is simple: the red licorice or the blue licorice. ____ turns a blank start to the one-way mirror, picks up the red licorice and tosses it into her mouth. A few seconds pass and there's still no answer from the scientists behind the mirror. ____ gets up to leave, but the wall speaker hums to life and informs her that she's made the wrong decision and will no longer be needed in the experiment. ____'s lost her job. "Blue" 50% Chance ____ stares blankly into the one-way mirror, listening to the instructions coming over the monaural wall speaker hung next to the digital clock eternally blinking 12:00am. Not really understanding the test, ____'s trust in the scientific method, picks up the length of blue licorice and chomps it down. The wall speaker hums back to life, and a low voice thanks her for her time, adding that she's done very well. ____ takes this as her cue to go, and head out to the lounge for a cup of coffee. As she's walking her head begins to tingle, and though she doesn't know it, ____'s earned 1 Logic skill point! "Blue" 50% Chance ____ takes a lap around the strangely bifurcated glass display table and surveys the two paper cups each containing her choice of seemingly tasty licorice. Beside the table, the room is almost empty except for a one-way mirror and a small monaural wall speaker. ____ doesn't see much choice, or any reason why she should even worry about making a choice, so she picks up the blue licorice, chews it and swallows without any trouble. She waits for word from the wall speaker, and when she doesn't hear any, walks out and down the corridor to the lounge. As she's pouring herself a cup of coffee she slips on a banana peel and crashes to the floor taking the coffee machine

with her. ____'s okay, but has to replace the coffee machine she's broken, forking over 127 Simoleons. *************** *Lab Assistant* *************** ____'s been given a large amount of test suites to run. Normally she's used to having a bit of free rein in the lab, fixing up some of the machinery, playing with the mice and with Wiki the signing chimpanzee, but now all of a sudden the lead researcher has ____ running these simple and formulaic tests that even Wiki could do, and ____'s not so happy about it. Then it occurs to her that Wiki the signing chimpanzee COULD run the test suites! After all, all they are is a bunch of checkboxes, one after the other. ____ never pays much attention to them anyways. Should ____ let Wiki do the test suites, or take a stand for herself and tell her boss what she thinks? "Let Wiki" 85% Chance ____ sets Wiki up with a ball point pen, taking extra care to explain the inherant dangers of pens with regards to visual impairment and to being "mightier than the sword in the hands of chimpanzees entirely great." She lets Wiki out of his cage, hands him a stack of test suites, explains how to fill the in and promises him some extra bananas later. Tasks in hand, ____ takes the afternoon off to catch up on some of the latest scientific journals, earning herself 1 Logic skill point. "Let Wiki" 15% Chance ____ sets Wiki up with a ball point pen, taking extra care to explain the inherant dangers of pens with regards to visual impairment, and puts Wiki at her desk with the stack of test suites. ____ makes herself a cup of coffee and snuggles up in the lounge area with a throw blanket and the lastest scientific journals, but just as she's flipping to an article outlining the ever shrinking distinction between objective and subjective observation, Wiki comes storming down the hallway in a flurry of broken pens and test suites. ____ gives chase, but the chimpanzee makes it out the front doors and into the surrounding forest before ____ even has the time to sound the alarm. It looks as though the repetitive nature of the simple tests was too much even for Wiki, and ____ is forced to pay for a replacement chimpanzee, costing her �867. "Speak Mind" 15% Chance _____ marches down the long hallway of test subjects, past the cubicles of lab assistants, all crammed together, sometimes 2 or 3 Sims per cube, and right into her boss's office. Without even waiting for him to look up from his latte, _____ launches into her tirade, explaining that she is a valuable research asset, and that she considers it waste of her time, as well as an insult, that she has to spend five minutes of her day, every day, verifying that gravity does in fact still function in SimCity and then checking off the appropriate check box on her long list of test suites. The Lead Researcher looks over the list and tosses it into his circular filing drawer, informing _____ that the whole process was just a test to measure her capacity for independent thinking. _____'s passed and is promoted to Field Researcher. "Speak Mind" 85% Chance ____ grabs up the test suites and marches down the corridor to the Lead Researcher's office. She goes to open the door, but stop short and pauses in thought. She tears the pages to shreds, dumps them unceremoniously on the floor, produces a book of matches, and lights them ablaze. Content that she's

made her point, ____ returns to the laboratory and goes about fixing the focal lens on a malfunctioning microscope. It isn't long before the Lead Researcher appears, still coughing, and asks if ____ had anything to do with the small bonfire recently constructed outside of his office door. ____ stands her ground, explains her issues with the test suites, and is immediately demoted to Test Subject. ****************** *Field Researcher* ****************** In a remote section of the SimCity outback ____ has come upon a previously undiscovered entranceway to an outcropping of ruins built into the base of a mountain and covered by dense jungle foliage. This is a major discovery, but ____ isn't sure how to proceed. Should he enter the ruins by himself and attempt to ascertain their nature, or head back to the institute and inform some of the more distinguished archaeologists of the ruins' existence? "Go In" 15% Chance ____ hacks back the thick jungle vines with her handy machete and makes her way to the large stone carved entranceway. ____ calms her nerves and pushes past the dust and cobwebs into the mouth of the ruins. Flashlight in hand, she wanders through the newwork of twists and turns, always with the sense that she's heading deeper and deeper into the mountainside. She finally arrives in a large central chamber lit by a single column of daylight descending from a small hole in the cone of the mountain a thousand feet above. On a small pedestal, perfectly illuminated by the column of mid-day sun, is a gold figurine. ____ recognises it immediately as being priceless, but retrieves it and sells it later that day for a cool �15,000. "Go In" 85% Chance ____ pushes her way through the dense vines and heavy underbrush towards the entrance of the ruins, but finds herself unprepared for the perils that lie in wait. As she enters the carved arches, the ground beneath her feet gives way, and she finds herself sliding down a network of slippery stone tunnels. Suddenly the ceiling begins to collapse, and ____ is now racing just barely in front of an avalanche of tumbling rock and stone. Just as ____ begins to debate taking some sort of action that might pervent her being crushed by the quickly moving wall of rock, she shoots out a small opening and out into the daylight of the opposite side of the mountain. Apparently unhurt by the fall, ____ makes her way to the entrance only to find that any sign of the ruins has since been hidden in a shower of fallen earth. Disappointed, ____ heads back to the institute and loses 1 Logic skill point. "Get Help" 85% Chance ____ takes one last and closer look at the giant stone archway, and even with his limited knowledge of ancient glyphic languages, is able to ascertain immediately that the highly complex writings are of no language ever seen before. ____ hurries back to civilization and informs the institute's archaeologists that he has found the remains of what appears to be an "Alien" civilization. He takes the pack of scientists, each one giddier than the next, to the site, and it is immediately clear to them that ____'s discovery may be one of the most important findings in the modern era. The Archaeologists confer and ask him to supervise further investigations into the Alien ruins, promoting ____ to Project Leader. "Get Help" 15% Chance

____ quickly transcribes a few of the unrecognisable glyphs from the oversized stone archway, and hurries back to the institute. She finds a contingent of archeologists in the lounge. Nearly out of breath with excitement, ____ tells the archeologists of her discovery and shows them the transcribed glyphs, explaining that she believes them to be of extraterrestrial origins. They all agree that the language has never seen before by the scientific community but all break into laughter as one of the younger scientists tosses a newspaper to ____. The front page of which has a cover story about a Studio Town production house that has recently spent millions to turn a huge section of SimCity jungle into a set for an upcoming film. Humiliated, ____ leaves the lounge losing 1 Logic skill point. ***************** *Science Teacher* ***************** Lately, ____'s students have been getting restless, but being relatively new to the field of teaching, ____ has been trying to stick to the textbook. Unfortunately, if there's one known constant in the universe, it's that high school science texts are incapable of portraying the wonders of science in any way other than the most boring, convoluted, and drab. ____ decides that enough is enough, and that his job as a teacher is not to make sure his students have memorized the periodic table, but to get them interested in science and in learning. It's time for a field trip! All ____ has to do is decide whether the class should visit the mall or local video arcade, in the name of science, of course. "The Mall" 50% Chance ____ packs her class into a dingy yellow school bus and trundles on down to the Mall. The class is ecstatic. With the ridiculous amounts of homework fostered off on kids these days, most of ____'s students don't even have time on the weekends anymore to hang out at the mall. They visit the Gadget Shop where ____ explains the inner-workings of some of the neatest gizmos. Then they hit the hotdog stands where ____ briefly explains specific heat as it pertains to the steaming of a delicious "SimCity Dog". The entire trip is a success and puts ____'s class back on track, earning ____ 2 Logic skill points. "The Mall" 50% Chance ____ packs her class into a dingy yellow school bus and trundles on down to the Mall. The class is ecstatic. With the ridiculous amounts of homework fostered off on kids these days, most of ____'s students don't even have time on the weekends anymore to hang out at the mall. ____ figures she's found the perfect teaching environment, where she can combine the real life interests of her students with some practical applications of science and technology. However, as soon as the students cross beneath the Mall's giant front archway they scatter like dust in the wind, and ____ is unable to find a single one of them again for the rest of the day. The whole trip is a huge failure, and ____ loses 1 Logic skill point. "Video Arcade" 50% Chance ____ puts in a request for petty cash and, sack of coins in hand, he and his students pile into a beat up school bus, destination: Video Games! The arcade is huge, and there's a type of game for every type of kid. ____ hands out the coins and lets the class run wild. He makes the rounds and takes the time to explain the technology behind the games to the kids, as well as stirring up discussions about electricity and reflexes. Finally, the class in enthralled when he reveals that studies have shown that adolescents who partake in a

"healthy" amount of video gaming possess higher IQs and better Hand/Eye coordination. At the end of the day, it's clear that the field trip has been a success, and ____ earns 1 Logic and 1 Charisma Skil Point. "Video Arcade" 50% Chance ____ puts in a request for petty cash and, sack of coins in hand, she and her students pile into a beat up school bus, destination: Video Games! The arcade is huge, and there's a type of game for every type of kid. ____ hands out the coins and lets the class run wild. She formulates a few intricate lectures involving reflection and refraction, as well as the basic principles of electricity, but before she's able to impart them to the nearly hypnotised pupils, ____ runs into the SCHOOL'S principal, who is apparently making the rounds looking for truant students. Needless to say, he is not pleased with ____, believing that her choice of "field trip" will only justify the behaviour of students who routinely play hooky at the video arcade. Nothing ____ can say will change his mind, and she's demoted back to Field Researcher. **************** *Project Leader* **************** While reading through some of his team's reports, ____ realizes that one of his researchers has inadvertently stumbled upon a new lithium isotope. Not only is the discovery of a major find in and of itself, but the practical applications of the isotope in devices such as atomic linear accelerators and staplers will be worth a fortune. So it is that ____ finds himself with a bit of a conundrum. Ethics would obviously say that he should inform the researcher of her own discovery and advise her how to proceed, but practicality says that no one ever got ahead in the world of science by sticking to the rules, and ____ could easily claim the discovery himself without anyone being the wiser. "Inform" 85% Chance ____ calls the young researcher into his office and presents her the report he's been reading. The researcher isn't sure what todo, but ____ directs her to a few of the bits he's highlighted and then to a section of the periodic table, then back to the report, and the fledgling researcher's eyes light up, "I've, I've discovered a new isotope! And it's a good one!" ____ smiles, and the researcher thanks him profusely, saying she could have never done it without him. She further promises to give him a percentage from the proceeds of the first technical patent, and by the end of the day ____ has a check in his hands for �7,500. "Inform" 15% Chance ____ writes up a discovery report, a document by which her team is supposed to review each other's findings, and calls the young research into her office. She explains the findings to him, specifying how importany of a discovery this is. The young scientist looks confused, but thanks ____ for taking the time to bring it to his attention. He then publishes the discovery report to ____'s superiors as though it were his own, and then uses it as an argument for why HE should be project supervisor instead of ____. The institute's board members agree with him, and in one of the more telling lessons about the scientific community at large, ____ is demoted to Field Researcher. "Steal" 15% Chance ____ figures what the young blundering research doesn't know, certainly isn't going to hurt him, but just to make sure he doesn't know, ____ goes through the archives and the database, and then removes any records of the isotope

ever being found. She then forges some back history, fills out some old notebooks to make it look as though she'd been working on the discovery for months, and starts work on a formal paper with which she will announce "her" findings to the world. If there were such things as Conniving skill points or Cheating skill points, no doubt ____ would have earned some, but luckily that's not how the scientific community works, so ____ earns 2 Logic skill points for her decisive theivery. "Steal" 85% Chance ____ takes the young researcher's findings and publishes them in her institute's electronic science journal as her own. She then sets about filling out the paperwork for what is sure to be a lucrative patent within the office supply industry, but as soon as the electronic journal hits the wires, her entire research team is virtually pounding down her office door. With a senior member of the board in tow, the young researcher responsible for the discovery presents all of his findings which documents the steps he had been taking to formalise the discovery of the isotope. On the basis of his presentation and on the word of his collegues, it becomes overwhelming clear to the board member that ____ has stolen all of the work she published only hours earlier, and without any documentation with which to plead her case, ____ has no choice other than to resign her position. ____ has lost her job. ********** *Inventor* ********** Locked in the basement of the institute's advanced technologies wing, ____ is hard at work and convinced that at any moment she'll make the breakthrough that will allow her to build the better mouse-trap. But amidst the confusion of her piles of parts and stacks of design specs, she's forgotten whether to connect the Dervosian wicket receptacle to the coupled power inverter or to the focal spline reticulation intake valve. Which one should see connect it to? "Power Inverter" 50% Chance ____ ratchets down the surrounding support plates and screws the Dervosian wicket receptable into the base of the coupled power inverter, remembering, of course, to leave a little room for play in order to account for any power flux that could possibly result from a misdirected uranium overflow. She steps back behind the blast shield, secures her shatter-proof goggles and lead lined vest, (remember kids, safety first!) and throws the toggle switch from REDUX to ACTIVE. The envelope particulator whirrs to life, reticulating the graphic rhythm of the pyrrhic emulator, which in return begins to rotation of the seismic induction funnel, as the rest as they say, is history. Having finished the detection system for her mouse trap, ____ sells the patent for �10,000 and sets to building the part of the device that will actually trap the mouse. "Power Inverter" 50% Chance ____ ratchets down the surrounding support plates and screws the Dervosian wicket receptable into the base of the coupled power inverter, remembering, of course, to leave a little room for play in order to account for any power flux that could possibly result from a misdirected uranium overflow. She steps back behind the blast shield, secures her shatter-proof goggles and lead lined vest, (remember kids, safety first!) and throws the toggle switch from REDUX to ACTIVE. The apparatus momentarily hums to life before exploding in a blaze of glory and elaborately named parts. None of it is salvageable, and ____ must fork out 7,000 Simoleons to continue her quest for the perfect mouse trap.

"Intake Valve" 50% Chance ____ reaches back behind the ordovicater, remembering to avoid making contact with either the depth defier or the multi-valved node indicator, and grabs hold of the focal spline reticulation valve's negative terminal. She carefully grounds the Dervosian wicket receptacle to a lug nut on the engine block and slides it into place, taking extra caution to bend the wicket so that it fits snugly within the hub of the intake valve's terminal. ____ moves behind the blast shield and throws the switch. The apparatus beings to hum and begins to glow an iridescent green, but none of the integrated particulators even come close to inducing a vortex, derivative or otherwise. ____ has failed to build the better mousetrap, but upon reflection, she tries adding a cup of water and some coffee beans to the induction funnel and discovers that what she has created is a microcosmic "no-mess" coffee machine, earning herself 2 Cooking skill points. "Intake Valve" 50% Chance ____ reaches back behind the ordovicater, remembering to avoid making contact with either the depth defier or the multi-valved node indicator, and grabs hold of the focal spline reticulation valve's negative terminal. She carefully grounds the Dervosian wicket receptacle to a lug nut on the engine block and slides it into place, taking extra caution to bend the wicket so that it fits snugly within the hub of the intake valve's terminal. ____ moves behind the blast shield and throws the switch. The apparatus beings to hum, then it begins to glow, then rumble, then really glow. Soon the sound is deafening and the glow blinding. ____ gropes for the power coupling, but can't grope too far, for fear of possibly wandering out from behind the blast shield. Just when she doesn't think it can get any louder or brighter, the machine goes silent and explodes in a rippling shock wave that turns her workshop almost completely upside down. Everything is in shambles. The machine is ruined, and ____ loses 3 Cleaning skill points. ********* *Scholar* ********* Lately ____'s grown weary of her scholarly life, and weary of the charade that so many university academics must be part of in order to weather the "publish or perish" phenomenon so common in today's collegiate environs. She misses the hands-on aspects of being a scientist and is tired of having to spend such a large part of her career lecturing and writing, when what she should be doing is discovering. It's high time that she did something about it. The only tough part is figuring out what to do without risking her cushy position as an "Academic." ____ mulls it over for a bit and decides that she should either spend the day working on her old theory of extra special relativity or look into finishing her field work in the ancestral structures of the Llama famliy. "Theory" 85% Chance ____ cancels her lectures for the day and sets herself up in her good old office. The place is a mess, filled with stacks of dusty tomes and yellowing paper, but within a warped and creaky dray, ____ finds the one time bulk of her theoretical work. The heavy bolt of coffee stained pages contain theorem upon theorem, and hypothesis after hypothesis, all attempting to prove ____'s theory of extra special relativity. She flops down into her high backed chair and attempts to refamiliarise herself with the work she'd long since forgotten about, but the further she reads, the less she seems to remember, and the more surprised she becomes at how staggering accurate and innovative the content of the pages are. ____ finishes reading the paper and is shocked to discover that the paper itself is finished, its argument whole and complete! ____

apparently completed it years ago, but had long since forgotten. She immediately publishes it in a national theoretical journal and receives 2 Logic skill points and �5,000 grant. "Theory" 15% Chance ____ cancels her lectures for the day and goes about cleaning up her office in the hopes of eventually locating the huge amount of theoretical exposition she had done during her work on extra special relativity earlier. However, her office is a disaster zone. The books and manuals and paperwork are piled to the ceiling in some places, and are teetering dangerously close to the brink in others. ____ decides to take a break and collapses into her comfy high-back leather chair, but the fall into the chair jostles a nearby stack of books, which begin to topple, sending a neaby crate of fossilised bat skeletons crashing into a pile of what can only be described as petrified Llama scat. ____ dives for her office door and makes it out just as her entire office essentially collapses upon itself. Her research hopelessly lost, ____ loses 2 Cleaning skill points, as well as the will to buck the academic system any further. "Field Work" 15% Chance ____ packs up her backpack, throws on her dusty hiking gear, grabs her trusty walking stick, and is off to the SimCity foothills for a little run in the Alpaca sun. She's brought with her some of her old notes and field guides, and as she's reading them on the train out of down, decides that she'd like to get out of this new found pastime is merely to contribute one piece of information, or discovery which she can call her own. Just one addendum or amendment, just a single entry or paragraph in the "Encylopedia de Llama" that would allow her name to live on long after she's gone. As she is thumbing her old notebook, she comes across an entry outlineing a theory that Alpacas and Llamas shared a common ancestor, as well as a genetic link to the camel: what the ancestor crossed through SimCity it left behind two decendants, the Guanaco and the Vicuna. ____'s theory was that the Llama had been domesticated by the nomads of the SimCity foothills from the Vicuna, and that the Alpaca had been domesticated by the cave dwellers from the Guanaco. This theory has since been canon in the archeological world, but no one had ever been credited with the discovery. ____ publishes her notes and field research, claims the discovery as her own, and earns 2 Logic and 2 Charisma skill points. "Field Work" 85% Chance ____ is off to the SimCity foothills for a little run in the Alpaca sun. She's brought with her some of her old notes and field guides, and as she's thumbing though them, she finds an entry outlining an old theory that Alpacas and Llamas shared a common ancestor, as well as a genetic link to the camel: when that ancestor crossed through SimCity it left behind two decendants, the Guanaco and the Vicuna. ____'s theory was that the Llama had been domesticated by the nomads of the SimCity foothills from the Vicuna, and that the Alpaca had been domesticated by the cave dwellers from the Guanaco. This theory has since been canon in the archeological world, but no one had ever been credited with the discovery. ____ hurriedly publishes her notes and field research, hoping to be given retroactive credit for the discovery. However, in her haste ____ fails to realize that current archeological evidence has the Llama descending from the Guanaco and the Alpaca descending from the Vicuna! ____ quickly becomes the laughing stock in the scientific community, and to a scientist losing all credibility means losing her job. *********************** *Top Secret Researcher*

*********************** Military Intelligence, otherwise known as AWXYMRAWN, has unearthed something very important in the SimCity Desert. ____ has received a telegram that reads: "____ stop top secret stop your eyes only stop have found an a stop l stop i stop e stop n stop stop s stop p stop a stop c stop e stop s stop h stop i stop p stop stop come to you know where at you know when stop this message will self destruct stop. Fascinated by the thought of a small piece of paper self destructing, ____ places the telegram on the table, but it just sits there, benign as ever. Well, ____ does manage to decipher the military's "intricate" code, but unfortunately has absolutely no clue about the time or place where he's supposed to meet them and discuss the "you know what." So he surmises they must be either be talking about the evcavation area, somewhere out in the middle of the desert, or the secret underground military installation he's heard talk of, somewhere off Interstate 51. Which one should he try? "Desert Site" 85% Chance The desert site is bound to be visible from one of the highways as the SimCity desert isn't very large, so ____ requistions a "company" car and drives off towards the desert's yellow horizon. She circles around for an hour or so but eventually spots a military truck and follows it off-road for a few miles until they reach an outpost. ____ flashes her credentials and is escorted to a tent beside the evacuation site. Once she is introduced to a few officers and scientists before being shown to a back room containing the "artefact". The automobile-sized device is contructed of a metal ____ has never seen before, and it appears to pulse, expanding and contracting as though its surface was malleable instead of rigid. The scientists explain that no headway has been made, and that no tests or observations have shed any light on the makeup or purpose of the Alien technology. ____ places her hands on the object, and to the shock and awe of everyone in the room, within minutes has opened the device and has begun to theorise as to its construction and function. The onlookers are impresed, and ____ is promoted to Theorist. "Desert Site" 15% Chance The desert site is bound to be visible from one of the highways as the SimCity desert isn't very large, so ____ requistions a "company" car and drives off towards the desert's yellow horizon. She circles around for an hour or so but eventually spots a military truck and follows it off-road into the desert. The dirt road is badly worn, and the SUV is taking a beating after all it isn't acutally designed to go off-road, it's designed to look just like it does while being an impractical alternative to station wagons. The road only gets worse, and ____ is finally forced to turn back. ____ loses 2 Logic skill points for trying to take a Sports Utility vehicle offroading, and though she's pretty sure the military's archeologists didn't actually dig up any alien technology, she still would have liked to check it out, just to be sure. "Installation" 15% Chance ____ requistions a vehicle, packs some essential equipment, and checks her road map for the quickest route for Interstate 51. Once on the highway she passes through the outlying rural area and winds her way through the protected marsh lands. After an hour of driving with no sign of the secret military installation, ____ begins to lose hope of ever finding it, until she comes to an odd fork in the road. The sign for the left fork reads " S-E-C-R-E-T Y-O-U K-N-O-W W-H-A-T" and ____ is confident that she has found the place. She follows the advice of a cactus with a speaker in it to proceed to the research facility. Once inside ____ is shown immediately

to the "A-L-I-E-N" technology, but she has a laugh to herself. because what the core of scientists, archeologists, and theorists have unearthed is no more than an experimental jet-propelled toaster oven, just one of the many failed inventions to come out of the Military's invention pool in the past decades. Needless to say, the power-that-be are not impressed with the waste of time and resources the whole fiasco has been. They fire almost everyone involved and promote ____ to Theorist. "Installation" 85% Chance ____ figures anything as big as a secret Military Installation can't be too hard to find. So he checks his road map for the quickest route for Interstate 51, but is unable to find the highway listed anywhere. Undeterred, ____ requisitions a military grade Sports Utility Vehicle and drives out to where he thinks the highway probably is. After an hour of driving ____ finally decides that he doesn't even care about the top secret discovery, as the military archaeologists most likely only unearthed some old defunct refrigerator again. He turns the car around to head back to his office, but the utility vehicle sputters to a near stand-still and the engine shuts off. ____ looks down at the dash only to discover that he's out of gas. He thumps himself squarely on the forehead for having tried to take a vehicle rated less than 10 miles a gallon in the city on a long road trip. ____ loses 2 Logic Points for his complete and utter lack of forethought. ********** *Theorist* ********** With the recent complications arising from such concepts as dark matter, wormhole theory, red vs. blue shift, superstring theory, ____'s own extraspecial relativity, not the mention the meta-spline reticulation debate, ____ has decided to take on a more rational approach to his theorizing. After all, there are so many inconsistences and unknowns still lurking in the day to day activities of Sims across the world. For instance, what happened to all the pets in SimCity? One day they were there and the next day they were gone, vanished without a trace. Or how is it that Sims are all able to carpool, but yet not one Sim seems to own a car? Better yet, what's the deal with "inventory"? How is it that no one seems to have a problem with the seemingly infinite universe that exists within each and every Sim's pockets? But ____ needs to focus, and he needs a starting point. Should he start with the tangible or the intangible. "Tangible" 85% Chance ____ turns around in her swiveling office chair and writes the word "Tangible" on her dusty blackboard in thick heavy chalk strokes. She stares at the word trying to conjure all of its possible implications, but only definitions and synonyms come to mind. She she erases the word and rewrites it in as many languages as she can think of, but that doesn't seem to spark a theoretical line of attack. Just as ____ begins to wonder if every theory has been theorised, she is struck by inspiration ... the theory behind the process of theorisation! What could be simpler, yet more complex?! It's the very essense of SIMulated life! ____ sets to work immediately on what will no doubt be an undertaking of such proportions that she may not even be able to finish within her lifetime, but on the basis of her proposal alone, ____ earns a research grant worth 50,000 Simoleons. "Tangible" 15% Chance ____ turns around in her swiveling office chair and writes the word "Tangible" on her dusty blackboard in thick heavy chalk strokes. She stares at the word

trying to conjure all of its possible implications, but only definitions and synonyms come to mind. She she erases the word and rewrites it in as many languages as she can think of, but that doesn't seem to spark a theoretical line of attack. Just as ____ begins to wonder if every theory has been theorised, she is struck by inspiration ... the theory behind the process of theorisation! What could be simpler, yet more complex?! It's the very essense of SIMulated life! ____ publishes a short piece in the Institution's science and philosophy journal, but the members of the Institute's board are not exactly pleased with ____'s seemingly lack of "tangible" output, as they are in the process of paying for theories which make them money, not overly simplified philosophical theories. They inform ____ that her type of theories are best left in the classroom: ____ is demoted to Scholar. "Intangible" 15% Chance ____ writes the word "Intangible" on a sticky note and posts it to her computer monitor. She then scribbles the word across her hand with a felt tip pen. Still not satisfied she fills her ancient blackboard with the word, but yet the word remains as indecipherable as ever to her mind. The room begins to spin, but still ____ presses on, scraping the edge of her pen audibly over any surface she can find yet untouched by "the word", "the thing", "the theory" ... everything goes black. ____ awakens to the sound of hushed voices and the snap of camera shutters. ____'s office has become a living shrine to the dichotomy of language and science, and on the basis of this "experimental piece" ____ is awarded a �20,000 "Save the Artists" grant. "Intangible" 85% Chance The "SIMulated Guide to Discovering What Words Mean" describes the word "Intangible" as being "the opposite of tangible," so ____ flips through a few more pages to "Tangible", only to discover that its defination is "the opposite of intangible"! Utterly frustrated ____ tosses the unhelpful reference manual out of his office window and settles back to the task at hand, discovering a theory pertaining to the intangible world. ____ stares blankly out his window, then at his desk, then at his hands, then eventually back out the window. Hours go by, and ____ is left wondering if there's really anything left worth theorizing about. He decides that he's not yet ready for the world of the theoretical and demotes himself back to Inventor for a bit more hands on experience. *************** *Mad Scientist* *************** The air is heavy with scientific anticipation, but more importantly, is charged with pure unbridled electricity. Somewhere in the distance a wolf howls. Even further off a bell tolls, and a baby cries. Tonight, ____ plans to go against the very laws of nature. Tonight ____ will attempt to reanimate the dead. Mwahahahahaha! Her life's work in the sciences has culminated in a combination of biological and chemical engineering, and since taking on the mantle of Mad Scientist her thoughts have turned evermore towards living up to the title. Everything is in place, but in his haste ____'s assistant has misplaced the electrical schematics, so ____ is going to have to rely on her instincts and decide whether to connect the green wires or the orange wires to the enrgy source. The correct set will route the reanimating powers of the skies directly to the machinery, while the other could set off a chain reaction which might very well lead to the end of the world ...

"Green" 85% Chance Grivello, ____'s assistant, limps across the cold stone floor of ____'s laboratory, dragging the heavy green cables behind him. ____ surveys the complex system of bio-mechanical engineering, still in awe of the sheer brillance of her work. She double checks a few connections, but the sheer amount of preparation work she's put in, there's simply nothing that could go wrong. ____ gives Grivello the signal, and he attachs the thick wiring to the protruding terminals at the base of the nearest Tesla Coil. The air above the laboratory begins to swell and swirl. The room fills with a pale blue light. There is an explosion of colour and heat, and then darkness. ____ scrambles for emergency power then turns her gaze to the test subject. It's alive. Her beloved potted Geraniums, once brown and twisted, now stands tall and green, nearly pulsating with life! ____'s achievement represents a major step forward for the horticultural world, as well as a �55,000 patent for ____. Mwahahahahaha! "Green" 15% Chance Almost immediately, ____ feels as though she's being watched, and though forces are at work removing the very air from her lungs and stone from beneath her feet. But in the name of science, ____ knows she must go on. She instructs her assistant, Grivello, to limp over to the nearest Tesla Coil and connect the set of heavy green cables to the protruding power couplings in the "Reanimatron's" central control panel. Grivello shrugs his one good shoulder and does as he's told. The panel sparks, and the air around the machine ignites. It appears to ____ as though the very molecules of the night have caught fire and are now burning an intense blue. Something isn't right. In fact, something has gone horribly wrong. As soon as ____ goes to cut the power, a fissure opens rendering the sky asunder and sucking in all sites and sounds. ____ has no choice but to run, and so she does, down flight after flight of spiraling stone stairs, onto the muddy garden path, and down away from the ancient castle. When she finally looks back, the castle, as well as the surrounding city is gone, wiped clean by whatever forces had so adamantly opposed ____'s meddling. The damage is staggering, and when the city officals are through with ____, she is forced to pay �10,000 in damages. "Orange" 15% Chance Grivello, ____'s assistant, limps across the cold stone floor of ____'s laboratory, dragging the heavy orange cables to the mass of diodes and vaccum tubes that is the "Reanimatron 2000", or as ____ calls it, Ronnie. ____ gives Grivello the signal, and he attachs the thick wiring to the protruding terminals at the base of the nearest Tesla Coil. Change is in the wind. Electricity is in the air. The hair on ____'s neck begins to stand on end, and the air above the laboratory swells and swirls. The room fills with the thick cloak of night, a tangible force. The very essense of the laws of nature begin to crumble right before her eyes. There is an explosion of colours and heat, and then darkness. ____ scrambles for emergency power then turns to gaze to the test subject. It's alive. Her beloved patch of chrysanthemums, once brown and twisted, now stands tall and lush, nearly pulsating with life! ____'s achievement represents a major step forward for the horticultural world, as well as a �55,000 patent for ____. Mwahahahahaha! "Orange" 85% Chance ____ instructs her assistant, Grivello, to limp over to the nearest Tesla Coil and connect the set of heavy green cables to the protruding power couplings in the "Reanimatron's" central control panel. Grivello shrugs his one good shoulder and does as he's told. The panel sparks, and the night goes silent. The world to ____ appears as though it were in slow motion, seen through the eyes of a young child forced to perpetually blink while staring into the

sun. Something isn't right. In fact, something has gone horribly wrong. A veritable tornado of tangible darkness forms at the centre of the laboratory, threatening to envelope ____ and all of her unnatural ideas. ____ is unable to think, unable to move, but somewhere in the back of her mind she questions what powers these are that are so hard at work against her! Then it hits her, "power!" She needs to shut off the power! ____ yells to Grivello, but he is nowhere to be found, so she struggles around the edge of the laboratory and throws the comically oversized lever from ON to OFF. There's a flash, then only darkness. ____ finds a candle and wanders out to the street below where she's met by the authorities. It seems as though ____'s "little" experiment has sent a power spike through much of SimCity's electrical grid, damaging �20,000 worth of machinery, to be exact. All on ____'s tab. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[16] Chance Cards - Teenager / Elder Teenagers and Elder jobs also have chance cards like the adults, but the rewards are far less rewarding than the adult ones. Of course, they are money makers for the young and old ones because for University (expansion) they are not chunk change, its a lot. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[16.01] Politics ********************* *Door to Door Poller* ********************* As a door-to-door poller, ____ leaves his ego at the "door" - modern families aren't very welcoming to strangers bearing clipboards, regardless of their occupation. ____ needs to come up with a new tactic for getting information from the neighbourhood. Should he conduct informal phone calls, or should he perform a small song and dance at people's doorstep to get their attention? "Phone Polls" 50% Chance ____ is determined to make a good impression and get the bottom of the public opinion. He grabs a phone book and begins to call families, one by one. ____ makes sure to avoid those early morning and dinner time hours that upset people so much, and miraculously he manages to get pretty good poll numbers! Thanks to his ingenuity, ____ earns a �75 performance bonus. "Phone Polls" 50% Chance Not fond of having doors slammed in his face, ____ decides to try the phonepolling route. He grabs a local phone directory and begins randomly selecting names from it. After a few calls, ____ is shocked at the anger Sims harbour towards telemarketers. They're even more rude to him than they were to his face. ____'s call experiment drums up quite a bit of public resentment, and he is eventually instructed by his boss to stop calling at once. ____ loses 1 Charisma point due to public anger regarding his calls. "Song and Dance" 50% Chance Phone polling is so dated - and no one wants to talk to anything resembling a telemarketer anyway. ____ opts for a more unconventional approach, and he begins to serenade families from their front porch. "When the poll person comes and a'rings the door bell, that' a polling..." While his methods frighten a few families, ____ finds that he's earned a reputation in town as

good entertainment and a respectable poller. His numbers are up - and so is he! ____ earns 1 Charisma point for his newfound local fame. "Song and Dance" 50% Chance In a rare fit of self-confidence and possible insanity, ____ decides that people would love to be seneraded by their local pollster. He pens a few songs, straps on a guitar, and begins his daily rounds. As it turns out, it's amazing how much Sims DON'T want to be seneraded by their pollsters. ____ is booed and shooed, and he ducks more than one errant tomato. In the end, the local police department fines him �50 for disturbing the peace, and ____'s minstrel days are over - back to normal door-to-door work for him. ***************** *Campaign Worker* ***************** While working on the phones at the campaign office, ____ receives a call from a reporter claiming to be from the SimCity Herald. The reporter says she just has a few questions about the campaign. ____ could go and bother the council member's personal assistant, or answer some questions himself. "Get Assistant" 85% Chance ____ squeezes out of the tightly packed phone bank and goes to look for the council member's personal assistant, whom he finds embroiled in three conservations and one phone call already. ____ informs her that there is a woman from the Herald on the phone with some questions. The assistant gives ____ the "okay" sign and mouths the worlds "thank-you." ____ receives 1 charisma skill point. "Get Assistant" 15% Chance ____ tries to free himself from the sardine tin can of campaign workers all busy answering phones. As he squeezes out of his chair and out from underneath his section of the folding card table, he trips over his table, ripping the entire bank of phones out of their sockets, and effectively hanging up the reporter. ____ is forced to pay �65 to replace his phone. "Answer" 15% Chance ____ informs the reporter that he'd be happy to go on the record in response to any questions directly pertaining to the campaign. After answering three or four questions, the reporter thanks him and ends the call. ____'s name appears that night in the evening paper, attached to some eloquent quotes which perfectly toe the party's line. ____ is immediately promoted to Intern. "Answer" 85% Chance ____ tells the woman on the phone that he'd be happy to answer any of her questions, seeing that he IS an offical Campaign Worker. After a few strange questions, included "Where does the council member normally dine out?" ____ begins to suspect that something is amiss. That evening a local tabloid runs an expose on the council member and quotes ____ severely out of context. There's no excuse ____ can make, and he's fired on the spot. ******** *Intern* ******** The controller has a stack of paperwork on his desk that ____ has been asked to read through and assign priority levels to the tasks. About halfway through

the stack, she finds some speeches that the controller has been asked to edit. ____ has an okay eye for syntax, and she knows how busy the controller is, so she could try editing them herself, or scan the speeches into her word processor and run the grammer check on them. "Edit" 85% Chance ____ carefully reads through the speeches and finds a few typos, as well as some really awkward syntax. She dutifully marks the errors and suggest the proper changes, before returning the speeches to a relatively un-cluttered section of the controller's desk, along with a sticky note that says "Done". The entire process has taken her almost two hours, and when the controller returns, ____'s barely started on prioritizing the stack of paperwork. The controller chastises her and makes it clear that he needs an intern that will do what she's told first, and THEN spend whatever free time she has being industrious. ____ is sent back to work on the campaign phones. "Edit" 15% Chance ____ carefully reads through the speeches and finds a few typos, as well as some really awkward syntax. He dutifully marks the errors and suggest the proper changes, before returning the speeches to a relatively un-cluttered section of the controller's desk, along with a sticky note that says "Done". When the controller gets back to her desk, she's overjoyed at having one less task on her plate. She scans over the documents, approves the changes, and sends ____ off for an extra long lunch. ____ earns 1 Logic Point. "Grammar Check" 85% Chance ____ runs the speeches through the office scanner and sends the electronic versions to his desktop computer. After running some state-of-the-art optical character recognition, he plugs the document into his word processor and lets the built-in grammar check do its thing. It finds only two verb-agreement issues and a couple of typos, and even though the changes it suggests are actually worse than the errors it's trying to fix, ____ makes the changes manually and sends the documents to the controller. She is so pleased to have soft copies of the speech, not to mention edited versions that she channels some funds out of the inflated road repair budget and tells ____ to buy himself something nice. ____ earns �500 Simoleons. "Grammar Check" 15% Chance ____ scans the documents, pligs them into his word processor and lets the built-in grammar check do its thing. Upon completion he sends the documents off to the controller without even double-checking (trusting in the wisdom of Microscotch's grammar check). Apparently, the controller, trusting in ____, sent the speeches off without reviewing them either, because a few hours later the controller gets an irate phone call from someone at the legislator's office. It seems as though the grammar check somehow managed to replace the entire contents of one of the speeches with the first two acts of "Titus Andronicus," and as inexplicable as it may be, ____ is fired for his mistake. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[16.02] Medicine ************************ *Nursing Home Attendant* ************************ ____ walks the halls of Sunny Sims Retirement Home during his shift, looking the part in his white sneakers and candy striper uniform. He hears a buzzer -

and looking around, he realises with dismay that he's being paged to room 146 - known as the infamous "Leaky Bladder" room. Should he suggest a bedpan (which he will then have to clean) or should he try and get the resident to the bathroom in time? "Bedpan" 85% Chance ____ knows Room 146, and knows that "holding it" isn't part of their vocabulary. He drags the bedpan as best he can - he even avoids cringing at the ensuing messthat he has to clean. The resident is so impressed with ____'s kind demeanor that a glowing compliment is passed to ____'s supervisor, who names him Employee of the Month. ____ receives a �100 prize. "Bedpan" 15% Chance Knowing that the bathroom is a lost cause, ____ distainfully pulls out a bedpan and tries to get the resident to use it. Unfortunately, ____'s distaste for the situation comes out a little too clearly on his face. The resident refuses to use the bedpan in ____'s presence, and demands a "more caring" attendant. The resident will not be rebuffed, and ____ is forced to ask someone else to deal with his resident. ____ loses 1 Charisma Skill Point due to his less-than-stellar bedside manner. "Bathroom" 15% Chance ____, like most Sims, has a distaste for handling bedpans, and he encourages the resident to get up and head to the bathroom. It's an arduous process moving the portable IV stand and monitors along with the resident - but eventually they make it to the restroom. Once the resident is back in bed, he praises ____ for his patience. "It means a lot, to be treated like a normal Sim and allowed to do normal things once in a while." ____ leaves with a greater understanding of the resident's experience, and he gains 1 Charisma skill point. "Bathroom" 85% Chance Bedpans are horrid, and cleaning them is even worse. ____ decides that his resident will use the restroom no matter what. Despite the resident's reticence, ____ gets everything set up and half-drags the exhausted resident to the restroom. But ____ isn't fast enough - the exhausted resident can't hold it in, and urinates all over both of them. ____'s boss forces him to clean up the mess by himself and docks ____ a day's pay for mistreating a resident. ********* *Orderly* ********* _____ is staffing the ER of Sim County General Hospital in the midst of flu season - they're totally swamped. Patients are waiting for hours and hours to get a room. _____ is nearly overwhelmed when a tired pregnant woman comes into the ER and begs _____ for a room and a doctor. But since she's not critically injured, _____ isn't technically allowed to let her in without waiting. Should _____ try and find the woman a room, or ask her to sit down like everyone else? "Find a Room" 85% Chance _____ is worried about the mother-to-be, who is obviously in pain. _____ sneaks around and finds a bed that has just been emptied, and quickly ferries the mother to the bed, slipping her chart into one of the doctor's queues. Upon closer observation, the woman is definitely in the midst of labor, and within 15 minutes of setting up a room for her, the baby is born! If _____

hadn't snagged an open bed, the poor woman might have given birth in the waiting room! _____ is offered a promotion to Emergency Medical Technician for her compassion and quick thinking. "Find a Room" 15% Chance ____ is determined to help the woman, and he consequently sneaks the mother into a room that was just about to be allocated to another patient in the ER. Just a few minutes later, several patients arrive in critical condition, and there is no place for them in the ER! ____'s boss discovers that he has gone behind their backs and is quite angry, since the hospital has strict policies about assigning patients to rooms. Luckily, the crisis patients are taken care of, but ____ is fined 2 days pay for his error. "Make Her Wait" 15% Chance While ____ feels for the woman, he must stick to regulation and ask the mother-to-be to wait until an obstetrician can see her. In the meantime, ____ takes special care of the woman, obtaining some painkillers and ice from the nurses to make the wait easier. In a few hours, the mother is admitted and gives birth to a healthy baby boy. ____ is praised for his competent and caring handling of the mother's situation, and gains 1 Mechanical Skill Point for the lessons he learned in the process. "Make Her Wait" 85% Chance _____ believes this is not a critical situation, so she errs on the side of safety and asks the woman to please wait her turn. In her haste, _____ forgot to ask about the woman's contractions, which are just about a minute apart. The mother-to-be is only sitting for a few minutes before she goes into full-blown labor, and doctors arrive only minutes before the baby is delivered on the waiting room floor. _____ is deemed too inexperienced to work the ER just yet, and is demoted to Nursing Home Attendant. ******************************* *Emergency Medicial Technician* ******************************* ____'s been asked to lend a helping hand and clean up one of the examination rooms after a food fight broke out between cadets of rival military schools. The place is covered with mashed potatoes and tapioca pudding, as well as some other unidentifiable substances. ____ could spend all day disinfecting the place, or simply ask the custodial staff to handle it. "Clean Up" 15% Chance After five hours of hard labour and disinefcting, exam room 5 is the pinnacle of cleanliness. The manager of the paramedic unit notices all the hard work and asks if ____ would be able to keep an ambulance clean. ____'s been promoted to Paramedic. "Clean Up" 85% Chance Cleaning up an exam room isn't as simple as picking up trash like ____ does at home. Exam Room 5 is still a mess hours later, and ____ hasn't done any of his assigned lab work. ____'s direct superior docks him a day's pay for his absenteeism. "Ask Custodian" 85% Chance A supervisor overhears ____'s delicate handling of the exam room mess and is impressed. She says delegating authority is an important part of moving up in the medical commuity. ____ receives 1 Charisma point.

"Ask Custodian" 15% Chance There was a reason that ____ was asked to lend a hand with the cleanup effort, as the custodial staff was already short-handed. The Janitor delegated his cleanup work to did a great job, but was supposed to be dealing with the sewage leak on the 6th floor. ____'s been fired. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[16.03] Business ******* *Gofer* ******* ____ is a coffee boy - glamourous, no, but at least it gets him out of the office and into the "fresh" city air. One day, ____ arrives at work to find his boss chatting with one of the most powerful Sims in the financial world! ____'s boss quickly dispatches him, but forgets to give him a coffee order for the VIP. ____ is stumped. Should he order a Double Mocha Latte Grande, or the Caramel Venti Cinnamon Cappucino? "Latte" 15% Chance Mmm ... Mocha. ____ follows his nose and orders a couple of luxurious Double Mocha Latte Grande from his favourite coffee shop, which is a well-kept secret in SimCity. The barista winks at ____ as she give's ____'s order the special treatment. After skillfully navigating the busy streets, ____ presents the coffee to his boss and the VIP, who are bowled over by the quality of their beverages. After the visit concludes, ____ gets a �100 bonus from his boss. "Latte" 85% Chance Unable to resist the thought of chocolate, ____ decides to visit his favourite coffee shop for a few Double Mocha Latte Grandes. While placing his order, ____ picks up a biscotti and an extra coffee for himself, and he happily munches on the way back to the office. Eventually, ____ arrives at work and serves the coffee to his boss and the VIP. To ____'s horror, the VIP begins choking almost instantly - a piece of ____'s biscotti made it into his drink! Sensing foul play, the VIP cuts off the merger discussions with ____'s employer, and ____ is promptly fired. "Cappucino" 85% Chance Who doesn't like a good Caramel Venti Cinnamon Cappucino? ____ tries to grab a couple of these delectable coffee drinks at a ritzy corner shop, but the lines are completely out the door. Unfazed, ____ calmly walks behind the counter, winks at the barista, and makes his own Caramel Ventis! (Strangely, no one stops him.) ____ leaves more than enough money to cover his 2 cappucinos and a tip - and manages to impress the VIP with "the best cup of coffee I've had in years." ____ gains 1 Charisma point for his amazing confidence and coffee skills. "Cappucino" 15% Chance ____ decides to spare no expense, opting for the Caramel Venti Cinnamon Cappucino for this ultra-important guest. After a long wait in line, ____ realises that perhaps these coffees are a little too extravagant - 12 inches tall with those domed lids for whipped cream, and they're scolding hot! He makes it all the way to the conference room - but is out of breath and rushing, ____ trips on a laptop power cord and spills a Venti all over the VIP. ____ is charged �100 for the dry-cleaning bill.

********************* *Mailroom Technician* ********************* While sorting the mail, a letter falls out of an envelope and lands on the ground. It says that Landgrabb Enterprises is about to buy Wrightway Toys. ____ could act quickly and take the investment opportunity herself, or arrange a meeting with her boss to pitch the stock purchase proposal to the company. "Invest" 15% Chance ____ buys 100 shares of Wrightway Toys for �100. Within the hour, news of the takeover hits the street, and the stock goes through the roof. ____ sells her shares and earns �1,000! "Invest" 85% Chance Before the acquistion goes through, SimCity's Consumer Protection Group publishes their findings that Wrightway's new robotic toy ants pose a choking hazard to toddlers. Wrightway orders an immediate recall, and Landgrabb Enterprises decides not to purchase the toy company. The stock plummets and ____ loses �200.

"Park and Pocket" 15% Chance Free money? Why not! ____ agrees to help in the scheme, which certainly seems harmless enough. They take the chains blocking off the field and begin their unoffical parking operation. Business is bustling, and since the supervisors have the night off, no one finds out about the little endeavour. ____ pockets �175, his share in the Great Parking Escapade. "Park and Pocket" 85% Chance ____'s not one for turning down free money - since this plan is foolproof, ____ goes along for the ride. They take down the perimeter chains and begin to park cars in the abandoned lot. About a half hour later, a stadium employee in a business suit approaches ____ and informs him that they are illegally trespassing on stadium property - the empty lot belongs to them. ____ and his co-workers are forced to hand over all the money they have made, and each of them are fined �150 for trespassing on private property. ____ loses �150. "Stand Aside" 85% Chance _____ doesn't want to risk getting in trouble - after all, no one knows exactly who owns the empty lot next to them. Instead, _____ suggests a valet parking solution to his supervisor - it's a legitimate way to crame more cars into the lot. The idea is a success - and now that it's valet parking, the company can charge more for each car parked! _____'s supervisor is impressed with his initiative, and recommends him for a security guard position at a local office building. _____ is promoted to Security Guard. "Stand Aside" 15% Chance Skeptical, ____ decides not to help in the parking scheme, and spends his time monitoring the cars on the lot. He watches for any sign of his supervisor or the police, but none ever arrive. The evening ends uneventfully, and those who participated have pocketed a nice chunk of change. Even though he goes home empty handed, ____ is glad that he took the high road - a few days later, his coworkers are busted in the act and fined for trespassing. **************** *Security Guard* **************** While monitoring the surveillance cameras ____ spots someone enter the elevator with a computer. He's sure that he's never seen them before, but isn't sure what to do. Should he call the police or confront the suspicious character? "Call Police" 85% Chance ____ calls the police and continues to monitor the suspicious activities. The police arrive just as the man carrying the computer is leaving the building. There has been a sting of robberies lately, and the police believe that this man is the culprit. ____ receives a �500 reward for aiding in the apprehension of the "Big Buliding Bandit". "Call Police" 15% Chance ____ calls the police and continues to monitor the suspicious activities.

robberies, and informs the officers on scene that she believes the man to be involved in the crime wave. Upon further investigation the man turns out to be the corporation's new President of Operations. Nevertheless, he is not impressed with ____'s rash reaction and fires her on the spot. "Confront" 15% Chance As ____ waits for the elevator to reach the parking level she recalls a news report about a string of late night business robberies. The doors open and ____ confronts the suspicious man, asking to see her Company ID card. The man makes as if to reach for his wallet, but instead drops the computer and runs. ____ runs him down and apprehends the computer thief. When the police arrive they inform ____ that she's caught the "Big Building Bandit" and recommend they join the Police Force. ____ is promoted to Cadet. "Confront" 85% Chance As ____ waits for the elevator to reach the parking level he recalls a news report about a string of late night business robberies. The doors open and ____ confronts the suspicious woman, asking to see her Company ID card. The woman makes as if to reach for her wallet, but knowing better than to let a criminal reach into her coat, ____ tackles her to the ground. The computer is smashed to bits, and the woman turns out to be a company employee. Luckily she takes ____'s mistake in good humor, but ____ is forced to pay �349 to replace the computer. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[16.09] Culinary ************ *Dishwisher* ************ It's another dreary night, and ____ is up to her elbows in slimy dishwater with an embarrassing case of dishpan hands. She has one last bit of cleanup to do for the night when the head chef, Lefromage, runs frantically into the kitchen, arms flailing like a dying lobster. "Mon Dieu! A critic has come, and ze staff has gone home for ze night! Can you help cook?" Can ____ trust herself not to set the kitchen on fire, or should she stick to the dishpan hands? "Keep Cleaning" 85% Chance ____ doesn't feel confident enough to help prepare food, and besides - that last stack of plates really stinks! As she's finishing her last scrubbing, Lefromage frantically appears - the "critic" has revealed himself to be a county health inspector! ____ frantically disposes of the wandering roaches and cleans up the rest of the mess in the sink before giving him a tour of the kitchen. If she had left that mess lying around, he might have shut down the restaurant! ____'s grateful manager decides to get her a �150 bonus in her next paycheck as thanks for her sparkling performance. "Keep Cleaning" 15% Chance Lefromage is very upset at ____'s refusal. "Ze insolence!" he cries. Visibly flustered, he does his best to finish the meal satisfactorily, but somehow the lobster in pickle sauce doesn't seem quite right. In the end, the critic is quite displeased with the lackluster food and promises to write an unfavourable review. He is true to his word: a few days after the scathing review, the restaurant shuts down, taking ____'s job along with it. Zut alors!

"Fire up the Burner!" 15% Chance ____ agrees to help cook, and Lefromage issues a few preparations instructions before going out to take the critic's order. Mercifully, he choses a deliciously simple dish - in fact, ____ has disposed of the leftovers of this dish so many times that she could make it in her sleep! (A few scallions there, some orange peel here...) The critic is delighted. After securing the rave review, Lefromage offers ____ private cooking lessons as his thanks for a job well done, neting ____ 2 cooking points from the expert tutelage. "Fire up the Burner!" 85% Chance When the order comes in, chaos ensues - and ____'s peanut butter sandwich don't help her in the slightest. She absent-mindedly sets her dishrag down on the cook stove and starts a fire that consumes most of the dish intended for the critic! A few overcooked escargots later, the critic leaves several shades of red darker than the tomatoes that survived the fire. Lefromage, serious at being misled about ____'s cooking expertise, docks her a full day's pay for the embarrassing incident. ********************* *Drive Through Clerk* ********************* It's late, and ____ is working the drive-through all by his lonesome - lots of responsibility for little pay. Suddenly, the otherwise quiet night is ruined when local rich kid Mimi Landgrabb and some of her hoodlum friends pull up ( ____ recognizes them by the indecent language coming through the tiny speaker.) From what he's heard from other employees, _____ is pretty sure they're going to drive off without paying. Should he fill out the order, or should he treat them to a bit of their own medicine? "Fries with that?" 15% Chance Although he's surely tempted, ____'s never been one for pranks - especially when they might cost him a job. Even though it will probably come out of his salary, he fills the order and hands it off to Mimi. Much to ____'s surprise, Mimi winks at him and hands him 200 Simoleons. "Keep the change, cutie." The car speeds away, and ____ can't help and smile at his profitable turn of events. (Did she call him a cutie?) ____ pockets �150. "Fries with that?" 85% Chance ____ dutifully fills the order to the letter, grumbling under her breath the entire time. She reluctantly hands the greasy bags of burgers over to Dudley's crew, and they shove a few bills in her hand before speeding off. Relieved, ____ sets the money down and takes a deep breath! She didn't think they'd really pay! It's not until they're long gone that she looks down and realises that they've given her FAKE money. Looks like that �100 Simoleon order is coming out of ____'s pocket. "Teach them a lesson!" 85% Chance Tired of taking flak from ungrateful customers, ____ decides to take matters into her own hands. With a mischievous grin, she discreetly fills several fast food bags with empty cartons. For the top of the bags, ____ grabs some of the oldest food they've got left in the kitchen. As expected, Dudley's crew snatches the bags and speeds off without paying - or checking their orders. Oddly enough, they stopped showing up - to the delight of the entire staff. ____'s creative problem solving tactics earn her 1 Creativity point. "Teach them a lesson!" 15% Chance Tired of taking flak from ungrateful customers, ____ dedides to take matters

into her own hands. She fills the bags with crumpled paper, adding a few containers of French fries on top to make things seem realistic. What she didn't expect was a hungry Dudley handing her a wad of Simoleons, then rifling through the bag for his burger. "Hey! You tried to stiff us!" he cries after realising what's happened. "I'm gonna tell my DAD!" The wealthy Landgrabbs file a complaint against ____, who is quickly fired. ************************* *Fast Food Shift Manager* ************************* The movie theater down the street just let out and ____'s restaurant is PACKED. (One might think they'd be full after those absurdly sized movie drinks, but no such luck.) He's barking orders left and right when suddenly the unthinkable happens: the Uberburger 3000 breaks down in an entirely ungraceful puff of smoke. Now the restaurant smells like charcoal and there isn't a burger in sight. Should he try to keep going without the Uberburger, or take the repair into his own hands? "Who needs Burgers?" 85% Chance Who needs burgers anyway? While his staff out front is explaining the situation, _____ makes an emergency run and begins preparing some of his ultra-secret-recipe VeggieMight burgers. he ravenous hordes of customers are so hungry that they'll try anything - but once they've tried his "burgers", they just can't get enough! When _____'s manager Jennie arrives and sees hundreds of happy customers, it's clear to her that _____'s true calling is in the kitchen. _____ gains 1 Cooking Point and 1 Charisma point for the VeggieMight sensation. "Who needs Burgers?" 15% Chance _____ sees the throngs of customers and knows that there's profit to be had. He instructs his staff to deep-fry the hamburger patties instead of sending them through the Uberburger. Unfortunately, this backfires and breaks the Frency fry fryers as well. Now the entire kitchen is filled with acrid smoke and an undeniable stench. The customers back out of the restaurant in horror, and the incompetence of the staff makes the local news. _____'s furious boss docks �500 for the repair of BOTH machines from _____'s modest paycheck. "Roll up those Sleeves!" 15% Chance ____ tries pressing all of the Uberburger's buttons like a three-year-old in a spaceship, but that doesn't seem to help. In her frustration, ____ remembers overhearing the repairman talking about the Uberburger's powerful air intake. Apparently, it has a tendency to suck up kitchen utensils like a vacuum! Making sure to shut things down first, ____ unscrews the back plate and discovers an Ultra Mega Super-sized milkshake cup embedded in the main conveyor. She carefully extracts the cup and brings the Uberburger roaring back to life. ____ gains one Logic point and a modest bonus for her cost-saving heroics. "Roll up those Sleeves!" 85% Chance Eager to be a hero, _____ digs up a greasy screwdriver and rolls up his sleeves. "It's probably just a patty jammed somewhere," he thinks to himself. Recklessly, _____ unscrews a panel despite the large "Caution" display on the front. As soon as the panel is removed, a small piece of machinery springs out and bounces around the kitchen, eventually hitting the fry cook in the head and injuring him before falling into the fryer. _____'s irresponsible disregard for safety precautions costs him a demotion to Fast Food Order Taker and a Logic skill point.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------[16.10] Science ******************** *Lab Glass Scrubber* ******************** Working late one night, ____ catches a fright when he notices his boss Dr. Finkelstein has left one of his head-in-a-jar experiments over a Bunsen Burner. Doc doesn't normally leave floating heads in jars above flames overnight, as a general rule. Should ____ dismantle the experiment or leave it be? "Dismantle" 85% Chance Dr. Finkelstein has seemed to be a bit more careless as of late - no doubt stress brought on by recent legislation against "mad" scienists. ____ knows this was a mistake - so he quickly turns off the flame and returns the head-in-a-jar to its normal resting place in the refrigerator. While ____ tells Dr. Fink about his discovery the next day, the Doc is overjoyed apparently head in jars are somewhat hard to come by. ____ gains 1 Logic Point for rescuing the experiment. "Dismantle" 15% Chance Dr. Finkelstein has seemed to be a bit more careless as of late - no doubt stress brought on by recent legislation against "mad" scienists. ____ is quite sure that this was an accident on Dr. Fink's part, so he quietly shuts down the contrapion and returns the hear-in-jar to the fridge. ____ comes to work the next day expecting accolades, but finds instead a VERY angry Dr. Fink, who hands him a pink slip for his "destructive meddling". ____ is fired! "Don't Touch" 15% Chance ____ knows Dr. Finkelstein - and while he might be classified as a bit "mad", he's certainly not stupid. ____ simply checks the flame, makes sure there's enough power, and finishes scrubbing tasks at the sink. Sure enough, Doc comes in the next day and is positively overjoyed at the results of his mysterious experiment. Whatever his head-in-a-jar did, it earned the laboratory a good deal of money, and ____ finds a nice �170 bonus in his paycheck. Good thing he didn't turn that flame off... "Don't Touch" 85% Chance ____ doesn't like to mess with Dr. Fink's experimental work, so he simply ignores the contraption and finishes scrubbing that particularly nasty test tube. Alas, ____ arrives the next morning to find Dr. Fink clutching his head in one hand and his ruined head-in-a-jar in the other. Doc didn't mean to leave the experiment running - and now all of his work for the month is ruined! Things will eventually look up, but Dr. Fink can't afford to pay ____ his wages for the week. ************** *Test Subject* ************** Having grown nearly immune to the electroshock stimulus, the ESP research team is finally convinced that ____ has absolutely no psychic powers whatsoever. So she's been moved on to the Theoretical Color Research division, where her first test involves nothing more than sitting in a sterile test room, selecting one of two colored lengths of licorice and ingesting it. Should ____ eat the

red licorice or the blue licorice? "Red" 50% Chance ____ looks over the stark and sterile testing room, the single cold steel table, and the two stems of malleable licorice each in their own little paper cups. She takes the Red licorice, chews it up, and shows her empty mouth to the observation mirror. A solemn voice comes on over the buzzing loud-speaker informing ____ that she has made the correct choice. Not really understanding why, ____ is thanked for her time and sent on her way with a �500 Simoleon bonus. "Red" 50% Chance ____ surveys the brightly lit testing room, noting the oddly shaped glass table strangely reminiscent of dental equipment. Lost in thought, a soft voice comes on over the crackling loud speaker reminding ____ that the choice is simple: the red licorice or the blue licorice. ____ turns a blank start to the one-way mirror, picks up the red licorice and tosses it into her mouth. A few seconds pass and there's still no answer from the scientists behind the mirror. ____ gets up to leave, but the wall speaker hums to life and informs her that she's made the wrong decision and will no longer be needed in the experiment. ____'s lost her job. "Blue" 50% Chance ____ stares blankly into the one-way mirror, listening to the instructions coming over the monaural wall speaker hung next to the digital clock eternally blinking 12:00am. Not really understanding the test, ____'s trust in the scientific method, picks up the length of blue licorice and chomps it down. The wall speaker hums back to life, and a low voice thanks her for her time, adding that she's done very well. ____ takes this as her cue to go, and head out to the lounge for a cup of coffee. As she's walking her head begins to tingle, and though she doesn't know it, ____'s earned 1 Logic skill point! "Blue" 50% Chance ____ takes a lap around the strangely bifurcated glass display table and surveys the two paper cups each containing her choice of seemingly tasty licorice. Beside the table, the room is almost empty except for a one-way mirror and a small monaural wall speaker. ____ doesn't see much choice, or any reason why she should even worry about making a choice, so she picks up the blue licorice, chews it and swallows without any trouble. She waits for word from the wall speaker, and when she doesn't hear any, walks out and down the corridor to the lounge. As she's pouring herself a cup of coffee she slips on a banana peel and crashes to the floor taking the coffee machine with her. ____'s okay, but has to replace the coffee machine she's broken, forking over 127 Simoleons. *************** *Lab Assistant* *************** ____'s been given a large amount of test suites to run. Normally she's used to having a bit of free rein in the lab, fixing up some of the machinery, playing with the mice and with Wiki the signing chimpanzee, but now all of a sudden the lead researcher has ____ running these simple and formulaic tests that even Wiki could do, and ____'s not so happy about it. Then it occurs to her that Wiki the signing chimpanzee COULD run the test suites! After all, all they are is a bunch of checkboxes, one after the other. ____ never pays much attention to them anyways. Should ____ let Wiki do the test suites, or take a

stand for herself and tell her boss what she thinks? "Let Wiki" 85% Chance ____ sets Wiki up with a ball point pen, taking extra care to explain the inherant dangers of pens with regards to visual impairment and to being "mightier than the sword in the hands of chimpanzees entirely great." She lets Wiki out of his cage, hands him a stack of test suites, explains how to fill the in and promises him some extra bananas later. Tasks in hand, ____ takes the afternoon off to catch up on some of the latest scientific journals, earning herself 1 Logic skill point. "Let Wiki" 15% Chance ____ sets Wiki up with a ball point pen, taking extra care to explain the inherant dangers of pens with regards to visual impairment, and puts Wiki at her desk with the stack of test suites. ____ makes herself a cup of coffee and snuggles up in the lounge area with a throw blanket and the lastest scientific journals, but just as she's flipping to an article outlining the ever shrinking distinction between objective and subjective observation, Wiki comes storming down the hallway in a flurry of broken pens and test suites. ____ gives chase, but the chimpanzee makes it out the front doors and into the surrounding forest before ____ even has the time to sound the alarm. It looks as though the repetitive nature of the simple tests was too much even for Wiki, and ____ is forced to pay for a replacement chimpanzee, costing her �867. "Speak Mind" 15% Chance _____ marches down the long hallway of test subjects, past the cubicles of lab assistants, all crammed together, sometimes 2 or 3 Sims per cube, and right into her boss's office. Without even waiting for him to look up from his latte, _____ launches into her tirade, explaining that she is a valuable research asset, and that she considers it waste of her time, as well as an insult, that she has to spend five minutes of her day, every day, verifying that gravity does in fact still function in SimCity and then checking off the appropriate check box on her long list of test suites. The Lead Researcher looks over the list and tosses it into his circular filing drawer, informing _____ that the whole process was just a test to measure her capacity for independent thinking. _____'s gains an unexpected �700 bonus for seeing through the charade. "Speak Mind" 85% Chance ____ grabs up the test suites and marches down the corridor to the Lead Researcher's office. She goes to open the door, but stop short and pauses in thought. She tears the pages to shreds, dumps them unceremoniously on the floor, produces a book of matches, and lights them ablaze. Content that she's made her point, ____ returns to the laboratory and goes about fixing the focal lens on a malfunctioning microscope. It isn't long before the Lead Researcher appears, still coughing, and asks if ____ had anything to do with the small bonfire recently constructed outside of his office door. ____ stands her ground, explains her issues with the test suites, and is immediately demoted to Test Subject. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[17] Job Rewards This section is devoted to your Sim's hard work at their place of Work. They receive a job reward when they reach a certain level of work. Don't move house when you get one, or else you have to start from day one to get the reward back.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------[17.01] Politics Enterprise Office Concepts Bushmaster Tele-Prompter Job Level: City Council Member (5) Increase Skill: Charisma Increase Motive: Fun Bonus: None "Stand tall, furrow your brow, and just say the words with the Bushmaster Tele-Prompter. Transparent overlays display text at varying speeds for "tortoise" to "hare" fast. Adjust the font size to ease those aching eyes. Exercise your verbal skills with the Bushmaster Tele-Prompter!" This is a okay reward. Increases fun and charisma at the same time. Since fun really increases your mood and charisma is needed in many jobs, this is a great reward for the money makers out there. Also, kids like to use it too, however, they like to burp onto the mike, and the gas release isn't nice. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[17.02] Medicine TraumaTime "Incision Precision" Surgical Training Station" Job Level: Intern (4) Increase Skill: Mechanical Increase Motive: Fun Bonus: Laughter "Sims venturing into the medicial field can sharpen up their mechanical skills with "Incision Percision". The true-to-life features include genuinely clammy fake organs and a functioning circulatory system. Dive into the faux gall bladder, small intestine, panceras, inferior epigastric vessels, and other organs and make them new again. This is a great reward. The reason is that mechanical is not leveled up during the course of the game if you Sims have free will on. You can increase your skill and your fun for your Sim at the same time. No risk of zapping themselves in this area. Laugh as your Sims pull out vital organs and through it away. Then pull out screwdrivers, spray cans, glass cups, etc and put it back in. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[17.03] Business Execuputter Job Level: Executive (5) Increase Skill: Charisma Increase Motive: Fun Bonus: Nothing "Why should your Sim sit through boring business lunches when they can play golf instead? The Execuputter features imported synthetic imitation grass, along with simulated water and sand traps so that Sims can work on their swing while building charisma points - and hobnobbing with important business contacts." This is okay. Nothing funny about a Sim trying their best to hit a golf ball.

Lack of comment means lack of comment. Get it or not, I don't really care about it. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[17.04] Athletic Exerto Punching Bag Job Level: All Star (5) Increase Skill: Body Increase Motive: Fun Bonus: Watching Sims Kickboxing "Float like a moth and sting like a yellowjacket! With the Exerto Punching Bag, athletic Sims can punch away to release tension and keep in shape while building a useful career skill." The punching bag can increase your body skill fast. It is probably the fastest way to increase your body skill. You do gain fun from this reward but you also lose quite a lot of hygiene over time, but not as fast as the other fitness material. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[17.05] Criminal SensoTwitch Lie Finder Job Level: Con Artist (4) Increase Skill: Creativity Increase Motive: None Bonus: Sims getting Zapped "Don't let the inconvenience of the truth interfere with your career ambitions! Hone the skills to lie, cheat, and steal with the SensoTwitch Lie Finder. Its patented Brainwave Twitch Needle detects even the tiniest nervous mental tic. Fool the Lie Finder, and you can fool anyone!" Well, this career is not the best of the rewards. It increases creativity which is easy enough to increase. It increases no fun what so ever so there is no point to get this reward unless you are trying to reach the top of the job career. The only fun you will see is when your Sim fails to lie and gets a massive shock that will do nothing to their motives. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[17.06] Military Exerto Selfflog Obstacle Course Job Level : Junior Officer (4) Increase Skill: Body Increase Motive: Fun Bonus: Laughter "After a long day at the military base, why not extend the hard work with a run through the Selfflog obstacle course? From Exerto, a leading manufacturer of fitness equipment, this home obstacle course tests your ability to leap 3-foot hurdles, crawl under a canopy of simulated gunfire, and scramble over a fence-all in the name of fun and fitness." Its funny to see your Sims take this course. If they go on the hurdles, they have a chance of falling down on their bosom. When getting out of the canopy,

their shirts might stick onto the web and attempt to pull their pants down. This will drag them back. Finally, the end, the scaling of the wall. See your Sim fall on their buttocks. In my opinion, I think it increases another motive other than fun, it increases your laughter, try it with a female child, it is extremely funny *FAQ Writer hurt his bum while watching and writing this bit, It's that funny.* -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[17.07] Slacker AquaGreen Hydroponic Garden Job Level: Party DJ (5) Increase Skill: Creativity Increase Motive: None Bonus: Money "Do your Sims love gardening as a creative outlet yet hate kneeling in the soil and getting dirt under their nails? Well, they don't have to anymore with this hydroponic garden! The AquaGreen ensures that plants receive adequate moisture and lots of light so your Sims get the fruits without the labor. It's a slacker's dream!" This is really worth it in my opinion. All you have to do is to plant the seed in each of the little 12 pots, and wait 3 days. They grow and you harvest them by placing it in a pot and selling them in buy mode. You increase your creativity by tending them. Plant the seeds and wait the 3 days for �350. You do nothing. A great deal in my opinion. �350 for free. However, you have to tend the plants to be able to sell them. Without loving care, the plants will wilt and die. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[17.08] Law Enforcement Prints Charming Fingerprint Scanner Job Level: Detective (6) Increase Skill: Cleaning Increase Motive: Fun Bonus: None "It uses ultraviolet radiation to quickly and easily dust fingerprints everywhere, then display the ironclad evidence right on the viewscreen." This machine allows your Sim to scan objects around the house and find out who used it last. It send a spread beam of light to detect for fingerprints and find out who used it. When it finished with the light scanning, your Sim either has the choice to find out who it was or comes up with a ?. If it does end with a question, your Sim will answer it by banging the machine to see if it really is working. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[17.09] Culinary Schokolade 890 Chocolate Manufacturing Facility Job Level: Prep Cook (6) Increase Skill: Cooking Increase Motive: Fun Bonus: Money

"Fatten your Sims' bank account - and their friends and families too - with this finely engineered machine. Designed by world-renowned chocolatiers at Bavarian Meltonwerks, the Schokolade 890 produces high-quality chocolates that Sims can pop into their mouths or pop into a box and sell in the �7 billion a year chocolate industry! That machine is a definate getter. If your Sim is in a good mood, send him on it. The Sim will start up the machine, first by turning on the caramel valve, then mixing chocolate into a mixing bowl, and then the add the two together machine. Lower leveled Sims will only make �3 per box (which is 3 chocolates) while more skilled Sims make �4. Your Sim will wait for the chocolate to come out, dust it with sugar and put it in a box. Sometimes your Sim will leave one so it can fall in the bin, while others might eat it. Sims with a cooking level of 10 will try to avoid this so they make more money. They also increase their cooking while making money. Great for value. If you have a perfect cooking skill of 10, your Sim will not eat the chocolates. If you have a cooking skill of over 9, you will make �4 a box, below it will be 3. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[17.10] Science SimSanto Inc. Biotech Station Job Level: Inventor (6) Increase Skill: Logic Increase Motive: None Bonus: Might get or cure a disease and money "Your Sims are sure to succeed in the world of science with the Simsanto Inc. Biotech Station! Sims can study old microbes and invent new ones, gaining logic skill points and advancing their careers in the process. Includes a microscope, computer, and refrigerator for storing samples." This machine is okay. While it might make money, it makes it in small samples, like �60 for logic skill of 6. However you might get a disease for low level Logic Sims. They open it and if they cough, they have a disease. You can make an antidote with the machine but its better to get about 14 hours of rest not standing up. All I'm saying is, use it at your own Sim's risk. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[18] Mini Jobs These jobs are ones that make money, but if not a career path job. There are only two mini jobs. A painter and a novelist. They are some of the best jobs because they allow you to stay at home and not leave the comfort of it. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[18.01] Painter Creativity finally has a use. A painter requires a lot of creativity to make a lot of money. You need an art easel and a good mood to be a painter. To paint, click on an art easel and click the paint option you want. The painting will take about 6 Sim hours to complete. Then you sell it. The more you make, the more money you will net. The higher your creativity points tally up to, the more you will make. Even when you are maxed out at ten, paintings after that will still make more money. Some people make 2000 Sim Dollars per painting and still make more per painting. Sometimes you make less than the last painting but on average, you will make more. A good mood will let you

continue your painting in peace so let your Sim's mood be high green. When you are painting, only fun will increase. Everything else will decrease with the exception of environment. You don't have to sell your painting though. You can hang it on the wall, as the game treats it like a regular painting. But be warned, after hanging it on the wall, there is no way to place it back on the canvas. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[18.02] Novelist A novelist takes a lot of time to make money. A novelist requires a lot and I mean a lot of creativity to make a good novel. It takes about 28 hours sitting on a computer typing away to make a novel. Creativity increases the chance to make the novel a success. Type away on the computer, and you will not complete it in a single go so be patient. You have to be in a good mood to write. After you complete your novel, a message will come saying you have finished and a phone call will be on the way. You make money from the royalities if your book is a success. On my first attempt, my Sim made �2760. Thats good money but I think that painting is better, but your have to be in a good mood to paint and it is enabled to be accessed from Free Will. You usually get between �2000 to �3500 per shot, and doesn't increase like paintings do. Of course, you can get more, you can get less, it varies and for 27 hours of work, �2000 is not a hell of a lot of money. I think that there are better ways to make money, not just this. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[19] School School is an important aspect in the lives of your Sims, young and old. The young can't bear to do without school, the old can't see them fail. School is without a doubt, the most important thing that can happen to your Sim. It is for free and missing it can lead to the evil Agent of the Social Worker. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[19.01] Public School Public school is just your basic taxpayer funded school. Teenagers go to school at 9am along with children. Carpool arrives at 8am. Teenagers return home at 1pm and children return home at 3pm. Your children will bring back homework for them to complete. Finish the homework and go to school in a very good mood to improve your Sim's grades. Teens also bring back homework as well. However, if you have aging off as a cheat, there will be a point where they stop bringing back homework. This is because the game will recognise the teen or child should have progressed in age and there is no homework until they actually progress in age.

The teenagers who go to a private school go to work at level 2 instead of level one. That is because careers think that private school students are more trustworthy than their public counterparts. This school is a expensive school and an invitation to the headmaster is necessary to get in. Read the section on inviting the headmaster to know how to get in. Another difference between Private and Public is that Private School students have to wear uniform. Also, the motives from a Private School drop slower than that of a public school. The motives that are slower to drop is Fun, Energy and Social When you invite the Headmaster over, if you are successful in getting your children into the Private School, all children in the household are accepted regardless.

There are several things like abduction and burglars that can change their life. Sure beats getting killed but it is better that you avoid the same accident that are list below because as a matter of fact, most of these accidents can be created by you. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[20.01] Abduction Abduction is when your Sim stargazes with a telescope during the time of 7pm and 2am. This is a rare event and doesn't always happen. Its not a glitch so don't fret about it. When your Sim is abducted, your Sim's needs will be moved around so if you have a full energy and a low bladder bar, you might be going to pass out with a full bladder. When your Sim is abducted, only your male Sim will be pregnant. Your female Sim will have to use the "Try for Baby" option. It is a normal pregnant person so after 3 days, your Sim will give birth to an alien kid, usually with black eyes and green skin. It is just like any other Sim, except it is an alien looking Sim. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[20.02] Breaking Stuff Sometimes your Sim's get a little excited with equipment. Then they break it. Or otherwise screw it up so you can't use it anymore. This is a tragic ending to the otherwise fine piece of equipment. Most times like computers can be fixed by your Sims and by the repairman or repairwoman. If you have high Mechanical skill, you can fix the object easily, but if you fail look at the section below on electrocution. These are the objects that can be broken can how you fix it. The ones that will zap you are marked. Trash Compactor - Repair - ZAP Dishwasher - Repair - ZAP Toilet - Unclog Piano - Tune Computer - Repair - ZAP Stereo - Repair - ZAP Bath - Repair

Shower - Repair Grandfather Clock - Maintain -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[20.03] Burglars Would you like someone stealing your hard-earned furniture? Well, every so often, a burglar will come in between 10pm and 4am usually when your Sims are fast asleep with a ZZZ over their heads. The burglar will enter your house, go through a few rooms and take your most expensive stuff. He will take up to 5 items tops. If you have a burglar alarm (you are very stupid not to have one), the burglar will panic and try to run. When the alarm sounds, the cops will arrive and try to arrest the guy. If the cops see the burglar, they will fight the burglar (why can't they just shoot them with a pistol or rifle or something?). This is the same as if you did, Attack and Fight (except you can't use it). If the burglar wins, he escapes and you won't see him again for a while. If the cop wins, the burglar is arrested and you receive �500 reward money and if he stole something from you, you get the depreciated value of the object not a replacement from your Sim's insurance company (I guess that they don't have a old for new policy). It also seems that you can free the burglar when he is arrested. You can free him with the cop just gives you the reward money. When he does, click on the cop car and when you do, open the rear door. When you let the burglar escape, you get a double + relationship with the burglar but when the cop realises what you have done, you will get a double - relationship with the cop as they are pissed they have to fight someone while they are trying to steal something from you only to be realised by the potential victim. Both buy and build mode are disabled so you can't do anything to get the objects away. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[20.04] Flooding Flooding is when you have a leaking object like a toilet and it is broken. The object leaks and waters freely flows. This leaves puddles everywhere and you lose on the environment score severely. If you don't fix the problem, the water will leak throughout the house and will eventually appear outside. To fix this problem, mop up the leaks and fix the broken leaking object. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[20.05] Pass Out Passing out is when your Sim runs out of gas, which means your Sim has a energy bar that is fully red. They will fall asleep on the spot. This will cause them to slowly regain their energy at the expense of comfort. Your Sim will block the way of others and if their is a burglar and your Sim is on the doorway, the burglar can't get in. That has happened to me once and it is funny. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[20.06] Pee Pants Doing a piss in your pants is not a funny thing what so ever. So your Sims will not be very pleased with themselves if they pee their pants. Your Sim will only do this if your bladder is completely red and they can't reach a toilet. They pee their pants or rather have an accident and their hygiene

in return for have a fully green bladder will be completely red. This will leave a puddle on the floor, which you will have to clean. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[21] Killing Disasters These disasters are not like the ones above, these can kill your Sim so read carefully. Teenagers, adults and elders are able to be killed but children, toddlers and babies are cannot be killed. I've received word that if a Sim catches a disease, your infected Sim can pass on the contagious disease to a child. The children cannot be killed, even with the worst diseases. If they do get injured or sick and such, the Social Worker will pay a visit and kidnap them. This chapter allows you access to kill off your Sims. Make sure you want to do this because there is no way to bring a dead Sim back to their normal state. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[21.01] Diseases There are 5 diseases that your Sim can contract. Some are avoidable and can be prevented but some are unavoidable and however elusive your Sim can get, it will chase them. Teenagers, Adults and Elders can all contract diseases. The five diseases are Cold Flu Food Poisoning Pneumonia Virus A cold is the basic disease. You have a chance of contracting the flu when your Sim goes to school or work go the only Sims who can't catch the flu directly are unemployed adults and elders. You can tell when your Sim has the flu when you hear the Sim cough and sneeze. The cold is easy to spread around so any social interactions with a sick Sim can result in the other Sim catching the flu as well. This disease is not fatal (it won't kill) but left untreated, it will turn into pneumonia. A flu is an uncommon disease, as it can only be caught if your Sim is near some disgusting cockroaches. This roaches only appear if your house is filthy so if you have a clean house, you won't have roaches. Your can tell when your Sim has the flu when your Sim starts to cough and goes to the dunny as a result of diarrhea. Like the cold, the flu is contracted to other Sims via Social Interactions but it will kill your Sim if left untreated. Food Poisoning is a disease you can easily avoid. It will only become contracted if you eat food that has gone off (which has a green cloud over it and flies) or if you lick clean a plate which has a green cloud over it. It is not contagious so don't worry about your other Sims' but if you see that Sim going to the toilet a lot (even if it is a full bladder bar) it means that they have constipation, and if they throw up, chances are that they have been poisoned via food. This will kill you if untreated. Pneumonia is the severe version of the cold. It is formed if you fail to treat or too lazy to treat the cold. Signs of this disease is when you see your Sim coughing and very tired (going to sleep a lot). It is contagious but not as

bad as the cold, but unlike the cold, it will kill you if untreated. A virus will infect your Sim if your Sim screws up at using the Science Reward Object, the SimSanto Inc. Bio Station. If your Sim has a low logic skill when they use the machine, the vial of potion you make could be a virus. The darker the vial of magic potion, the more dangerous the virus is. Your Sim and other Sims can contract a virus from the vial and it is more contagious than the cold and the flu put together. It will kill your Sim if untreated. In order to cure a disease, your Sim will need 14 Sim hours of rest. This means 14 hours of napping, sleeping, etc. Your Sim could pass out and the 14 hours will still be counted. After 14 hours, not consecutive by the way, your Sim will be cured. If not, they will die. The second way to treat a disease is to have a Highly Logical Sim produce an antidote from the Bio Station. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[21.02] Drowning Drowning is a death that your can deliberately cause at will. Make your Sim go swimming and when they are in, remove the ladders. Once hunger or energy drops down to nothing, they drown. You can't plead with the Grim Reaper unless they drown near the edge and the Grim Reaper is near the edge. After all, however faulty your Sims are, they cannot walk on water (they are not belonging to a highly God like power group) or meditate there even though it is possible. Everyone except toddlers and babies can drown. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[21.03] Electrocution Electrocution happens when a lowly trained Mechanical Sim tries to repair an electronic product but don't know how. Even highly trained Mechanical Sims can get electrocuted like the Repair Man (I saw him get zapped 2 times in a row) can get zapped. The electrocution won't kill you, neither will the singed clothes you are wearing. Electrocution will drop your needs in half, and if you have 3 or more needs at halfway points, you will die. Teenagers, Adults and Elders can get electrocuted. Also, being electrocuted will have a chance to make you lose a skill points as it isn't good for your brain cells. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[21.04] Fire Fire is a common cause of death, as it can happen autonomously or by your hands indirectly. Fire will start for several reasons. * Your cooking level is low and your Sim uses a stove or microwave which has a good chance of causing fire. I've heard of higher skilled Sims causing fire but it is in the minority. * You ruin food, which can start a fire * Use cook food in the oven, microwave, walk away while is it cooking. The longer you leave the food in there after the bell has rung, the more chance there is of it catching fire. The more smoke there is, the closer it is to catching fire.

* You get electrocuted while repairing something, which has a slight chance of it catching fire. * Leaving a flamable or reachable object next to a fire. When the fire starts, the object that starts the fire will be on fire. If you are smart enough to put a smoke detector in your kitchen, the fire department will always show up before the object is destroyed. Your initial reaction your Sim will have will be to panic and they will come from all over the house. Your Sim can extinguish the fire when you cancel their panic and clicking on the burning object and then extinguish. They will put out the fire but slower than the firefighter. You and the firefighter can shut down the blaze faster if you two do it together. If the object does not get extinguished, it will catch fire to other objects around it. If the object is made of wood or uses electricity, the fire usually contracts on that objects faster. If the fire can't find anything to consume, it will burn out. The object will be a pile of ashes and reduce the environment score a lot. If a Sim is next to a blaze, the Sim will catch fire. If they are not extinguished quickly, they will burn to death. If there is a fire in the house and you have a baby / toddler, the adult will grab the baby and ran out of the house. This happens even if the baby isn't in the fire itself. Children, teenagers, adults and elders can burn to death and buy and build mode are disabled so you can't move away objects. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[21.05] Fly Swarm This cause of death is so rare, that the chances of it happening is equal to a tsunami (no offence meant to the tsunami victims). This requires your house to be very filthy. You need at least 15 plates with flies swarming over it. The environment should be zero. Get your Sim to walk over the dirty plates and on the rare chance of a tsunami, you Sim will get swarmed by flies and get eaten alive. Gross. Teenagers, adults and elders can be eaten alive. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[21.06] Old Age When your Sims become elders, they will live for 15 to 25 Sims day before they will die of old age. This span of days depends on how you treat them. They higher the Aspiration Meter and mood, the longer they will live. You cannot bring them back by pleading. Of course, the only Sims that can die are Elders. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[21.07] Satellite There is a rare chance that when your Sim stargazes without a telescope or just watch the clouds, a satellite (decommissioned) will come down from outer space and splatter your Sim into tiny bits. It is rare but it will happen. As a bonus of getting your Sim splattered, your can sell the satellite for money. You can sell the satellite for �1,999 and the tombstone for �150 to further insult your Sim's death.

Teenagers, adults and elders can be splattered by the satellite -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[21.08] Scared to Death When there is a ghost in the house, there may be the chance that the dead Sim will perform the Scare option on a living Sim. If that happens, it will be the same as electrocution, if there is 3 or more needs at halfway they die of fright as their needs drop into half. This is rare and when it happens, your Sim can piss their pants and run, or just plain run. Elders have a higher chance of getting scared than other Sims. Teenagers, adults and elders can get scared to death. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[21.09] Starvation When a Sim's hunger bar drops to zero, they will stuff their faces with food. If there is no food, they will starve to death in one hour. Starvation will kill teenagers, adults and elders but children, toddlers and babies will be taken away by the social worker if that happens. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[22] Ghosts and Grim Reapers Ghosts scare the living daylights out of people. The Grim Reaper will take the souls of those who pass on and turn them into ghosts. Are you ready for what haunts you below? Are you ready to witness the horrors of the undertaker? Read on oh brave one. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[22.01] Ghosts Ghosts will appear when a Sim dies and leaves behind a tombstone. If they die outside, it will be a tombstone, if they die inside, they will leave an urn. You can move the tombstone or urn elsewhere but that will make the ghost angry and pissed. If they die with an Aspiration Meter of Gold or higher, it will display their Level of Aspiration (example: Future Financer). They living Sims will mourn the death of the other Sim and it is more of a regular thing to do within the first few days of death. Ghosts will do a variety of things when they materialize from 12:00am to 7:00am. * * * * * * * * * *

Turn on stereos, computers and TV's and leave them on for you to see Cause flowers to wilt and die Make dining chairs float, even if a Sim is on one Make the toy xylophone play by itself Cause the Incision Precision dummy to float Fill a tub with water, might make it dirty so you have to clean it Cause teddy bear's head to spin around Break a lamp Scare a Sim Kill a Sim (read above)

The ghost has a mood, just like your own Sim except it isn't about its needs, it is about its feelings. If the partner of the ghost got married, that would piss the ghost off. If the Sim starved to death and the fridge is empty, that

would piss the Sim off. If you move out, the ghost will be piss at the new Sims as tombstones and urns can't be taken. If the tombstone or urn of the ghost is kicked or smashed by a child or teenager, that will really make the ghost mad. There are things you can do to halt the ghost of being pissed off. Don't make the ghost's partner find another partner, don't make your Sims kick it so block access to it or you could just sell the stupid tombstone or urn. That will make the ghost go away completely. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[22.02] Ghost Colours Your ghost will have a colour, depending on how it died. Disease - Green Drowning - Blue and will leave puddles Fire / Burn - Red and smoking. Could start fires as it walks Flies - Purple Electrocution - Yellow, will throw sparks, and might even electrocute itself Old Age - White Satellite - Orange Scared to Death - Pink Starvation - Transparent and will empty your food stores -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[22.03] Pleading with the Grim Reaper The Grim Reaper is the only way to bring back a Sim who has died from an unnatural cause (means old age Sims can't be brought back). The Grim Reaper will come when your Sim dies and everyone is crying over the dead Sim. The Grim Reaper will hold a clipboard and look through the pages and nod his head. Then using his scythe, will collect a blue circle, the dead Sim's life. Then if you plead with the Grim Reaper (click on him and click plead), will Sim who pleads will go down on it's knees, and begs for the life of the Sim back. The Grim Reaper will show his two skeletal hands, and show one with the Sim's life and one empty. To get the right one, your Sim will have to have at least a combined relationship of 25 (daily plus lifetime) to plead and the maximum score is 90, so you always have a 10% chance of failing. When the hands go behind his back, the Grim Reaper will choose a number in the background. If the Grim Reaper chooses a number lower than your Relationship score, then the Grim Reaper will bow his head in shame as he reveals the hand with the life in it. Your Sims will cheer. If you choose the wrong one, the Sims will be unhappy and you lose that Sim forever. The Grim Reaper will talk on his phone and then they will be gone forever. Seriously, on a mental note, for a guy who loves taking others into his favourite domain, he is technological advanced. A nice blue cell phone matches him and pen and paper are like the most basic thing for him. For a guy who lives in hell, his a nice guy. Rumor has it that one of the pre made Sims had a WooHoo and even a baby with this mysterious person. Maybe he is a Sim that is human and can reproduce. Or maybe not ... -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[23] Telephone

The telephone is an important function in this game. Without it, you can't do a lot of things, including not ordering pizza! This is the most important and cheapest product in the game and for the variety of functions that you can pull off, its a blessing. Even those on a tight budget will be able to afford these technological wonders. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[23.01] Other Sims A new function. You can receive calls from other Sims. Answer the phone and if you are the target Sim, you will talk to the other Sim on the other end of the line. If not, that Sim will ask you if the target Sim is available to talk with them. Click yes or no. Then you will talk. The longer you talk, the more is added or deducted from your daily relationship. You can also call other Sims. If they are home or you call at the right time, you will get the chance to invite them over or talk. Invite over means that you invite them over to talk, socialize, blah, etc. Talk is like answering the phone, the longer you talk, the more is added to your daily relationship. This is a great way to keep your friends together. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[23.02] Services There are still services that you can order over the phone. Where would we be without these ungrateful NPC's huh? ******************* *Adoption Services* ******************* You can adopt children over the phone. When you call the social workers, they will let you adopt children provided you haven't had a visit from one of them before. You can choose a baby, toddler or a child. They will come at 10am when that time comes next. *********** *Bartender* *********** The bartender is the one that makes drinks using your bar that you should buy before hiring the bartender. The bartender will make drinks and serve them to you can your guests. When the guy runs out, the Sim will make more and start serving all over again. The tender will only stop when the shift is over or until you dismiss him. The bartender has a base salary of �10, which you must pay and an hourly salary of �15 which is added to the base. So if you hire the person for 5 hours, you have to pay �85, �10 for base and �75 for the hours. ************** *Exterminator* ************** No, he is not a freakin assassin. No he is not the terminator. He is the dreaded, wait for it, BUG KILLER! You can stomp the roaches, you can spray them with a green fart gas but he gets rid of them faster. Only thing he won't take care of is your neighbours, no sorry wrong guy, he won't take care of the

dead roaches. You clean it up yourself. (I might have gotten the wrong call card like Monty Burns but anyway ... ) The exterminator has a base salary of �10 and an hourly salary of �50. Four hours work will cost you �210, �10 for the base, �200 for the hours. ********** *Gardener* ********** The garden is a cheap and useful service. The gardener will come in a blue pickup every three days. The gardener will water the plants that need water, trim the hedges that are overgrowing and pull out those stupid weeds. The gardener has a base salary of �5, which is kinda cheap and a hourly salary of �10. So for 3 hours, you will only pay �35, �5 for the base and �30 for the hours put in. ****** *Maid* ****** The maid is what the name implies, the maid will clean. They will clean showers and benchtops and not to mention baths. They will unclog your toilets, mop up puddles and piles of dead vermin, pick up and clean dishes, dispose of trash and rotten food, get rid of old newspapers, sweep up ash piles, clean the high chair, and so on. Only the maid will not take the garbage out of the trash compactor and place it outside. The maid has a base salary of �10 and an hourly salary of �15. If you have the maid for 2 hours, you will pay �40, �10 for base, �30 for the hours. ******* *Nanny* ******* The nanny looks after your little baby or toddler when the parent wants it. You can call the nanny just for now, which is just at this moment or track your time slot so when you are gone, you have the nanny to look after your little one. She will feed, bathe and change your baby. Because of this fact, you lose your chance to teach to walk, talk and potty train. The nanny also cooks, cleans, look after the house when not looking after the baby. The nanny as a base salary of �10 and an hourly salary of �15. If you have the nanny for 9 hours, thats �145, �10 for the base, �135 for the hours. *********** *Repairman* *********** The repairman is used to fix your broken things. They will fix TV, stereos, computers, trash compactors, dishwashers, baths, etc. Its funny when they get zapped by the appliance once, but it is even funnier when they get zapped twice. They will not clean after the broken sink, tub, or shower if they leak. The repairman has a base salary of �10 and an hourly salary of �50. If you hire the repairman for 24 hours, you have to pay �1210, �10 for the base and �1200 for the hours.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------[23.03] Transportation Here you can call for a taxi or invite a Sim to come over and go to a community lot together. If you call a taxi, you have the option of choosing who to go to the community lot. You can choose yourself, for the rest of the family. If you have a toddler or baby, you have to have someone to look after the baby. You can get one of your Sims to do it or a nanny. Then when you all enter the taxi, you go to the neighbourhood screen and choose a community lot. After visiting that lot, you go to the public phone and call for taxi. Then you have the option of going home, or visiting another community lot. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[23.04] Work Calling work is a new option in the Sims 2. You can call work only if you have a job. You will receive two options when you decide to call work. You can call in sick or quit job. Calling in sick is basically skipping a day of work without using your vacation days. You cannot always call in sick because that will defeat the purpose of going to work. When you call in sick, your Sim will pretend to cough on the phone, sneeze, etc. Your boss will fall for it and say if you want to call in sick or not. Then you decide Quit job means that your quit your job. You have a final option to quit and if you quit, you quit for good. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[23.05] Emergency Emergency means emergency. When you have a fire don't have a smoke alarm, you can call the fire scene and save your life. You do the same thing you don't have a burglar alarm. Don't play with you will be fined if you muck around.

and for some stupid reason you department to rush to the when there is a burglar and these types of calls however,

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------[23.06] Delivery There are two options with you choose delivery. You can call for a pizza or a grocery delivery. Pizza delivery costs �40. A person will come with a pizza ready to eat. A pizza has several slices and it is a lot more expensive than cooking a set of lobster which will fill up the hunger bar faster. A pizza has exactly 8 slices and although it does not recover the hunger bar fast, your Sim eats it fast and they will be saved from the brink of stravation. Grocery delivery means you call for a delivery of food supplies. Depending on how empty or full your fridges are, the price will be calculated. There is a �50 delivery fee plus a charge on the groceries. A block is about �6-8 and the more fridges there are, the more a block will cost. To order supplies, click on the arrows above the supply chart and then order. A block one increment in the bar. That means, a block is that amount of groceries delivered when you click up once.

Both of these deliveries will take time so be patient with the delivery guy. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[24] Computer The computer in this game is one of the most important things you can get. This is a must have item. Thats because of the massive benefits that you will be able to reap. Also, you can keep your life intact and fun in place. Again, a must have item. Its cool, small, compact and keeps you in touch with the social world, even if you have been living under a massive stone rock. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[24.01] Chat With ... Chatting with someone is like MSN for us humans. You can see who is online and talk to them like you were using the telephone. Only problem is that you're not. It improves relationship points easy without losing a lot of motives as well. Its fast and you can have many people logged onto the internet and any one time. It is however, a slow improver of those pesky relationship points. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[24.02] Send E-Mail Send E-Mail and checking for E-Mail is the same inversed. Sending a E-Mail to someone will increase your relationship with that person. They will instantly reply, and when you check your E-Mail, you get a e-mail for every e-mail sent from you since you last checked your E-Mail. And everytime you read a E-Mail, you get a big social bar boost. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[24.03] Find a Job ^^^. Explains for itself. You can look through five jobs using the computer. This is more than the newspaper and it can be above level 1. This is something the newspaper can't do. More jobs, better level. What a life. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[24.04] Order Groceries Like using the telephone. Ordering groceries is getting a person to fill up your fridge for a �50 delivery fee and a grocery bill. Thats about it and you can do it from your own computer. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[24.05] Play Play means to play computer games or video games for you oldies, I mean elders, I mean you know what I'm talking about. When you start, you will be able to play only SSX3, a snowboarding game. But because Maxis is only about shameless self promotion / advertising, you can buy SimCity 4 Rush Hour and The Sims Bustin' Out at community lots so you can play at home. Then you can play the Urbz, Sims in the City (SITC) when you download that item off the exchange when you register. It improves your fun. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[24.06] Find Own Place

Finding your own place is trying to move out of the house you live in. Not a good idea but if you want to have a big family with is more than eight, then moving out is the only way to expand it larger. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[24.07] Write Own Novel Writing a novel is hard for several reasons. First of all, you cannot stop until your Sim is red in a motive unless you stop it yourself. You do not have a bar above your head to tell you when you are finished. You do not earn a whole heap of money from royalities. It takes 3 Sim days to finish. Skip this I say. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[25] Newspaper The newspaper is the more primative computer. Sure it might not be shiny and high tech, but it beats doing nothing. At 7 am, a paper boy or girl will deliever a newspaper for you and if the previous day's newspaper is still there, it will turn old by the new one. The newspaper is the most basic way to keep in touch the large SimUniverse. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[25.01] Bring In Newspaper getting cold? Bring it into the house for some warmth. You can read it anytime and lazy sims don't have to walk outside in the freezing cold to pick up a paper when a more active sim can do it for them. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[25.02] Read Serious Sims will love this action. They will get some fun out of this. They hate sports so why not read a paper? More fun than they could ever imagine. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[25.03] Find Own Place Finding your own place is trying to move out of the house you live in. Not a good idea but if you want to have a big family with is more than eight, then moving out is the only way to expand it larger. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[25.04] Recycle You a radical greenie? Then recycle your paper by throwing it into the garbage pile. Save a couple of trees while your at it. Waste not, want not. Thats the way the saying goes. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[25.05] Do Crossword Doing the Crossword has some benefits after all. You can get some logic points out of this. However, once you do it, you can't do it again. I mean, who would? -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[25.06] Make Airplane

Make a paper airplane and throw it at people. Increases your fun by a bit but it is more than nothing altogether. Once you make the airplane, you can't possibly turn it back. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[25.07] Find a Job ^^^. Explains for itself. You can look through three jobs using the newspaper. This is the most basic job finder you get and it is for level 1 jobs. This is something the computer can't do often. Start from scratch. All jobs are at Level one, regardless. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[26] Fridge What will you do without the fridge? You will starve of course. Read below for the options that you will get from this almighty product. The fridge is the only way that you can get food to eat. Sure you might have an oven, a microwave or blender, but without any food to chop up, you can only eat thin air. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[26.01] Snacks Feeling the munchies? Well have a snack. Ranging from cookies to juice to chips, you can have anything from this fridge. Relieves hunger slightly and can save you from death. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[26.02] The Three Main Meals Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner. The menu that you can cook vary on two things mainly. Your cooking level and your timing. Breakfast starts early in the morning at 2am and ends at 10:30 am. Lunch starts after breakfast and ends at 4:30pm in the afternoon. Dinner starts from then till breakfast. Having food will only give you one portion which is for yourself. If you serve your food, you will give out 8 portions of food and you will serve food on the table depending on the size and capacity of the table and the amount of people that are able to eat the meal at the time. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[26.03] Dessert Need a sugar hit? Then serve dessert. Sure to kick start your hyperactive mode and full of sugary goodness. When you serve dessert, you have to serve it, you cannot have a single portion at one time. It's like baking a large cake for yourself. Is that sad or what? -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[26.04] Grill Got a BBQ thats getting rusty? Then start to grill some food. Sure it is not cheap at times, but its a homemade style of fast food. Hamburgers and hot dogs with mustard, What more could you want? And by BBQ, I mean the BBQ Grill, not the food. Food don't contain larges amounts of iron and therefore, cannot be exposed to oxygen and in turn, create rust. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[26.05] Bottles

Got a hungry baby? Well feed it a bottle. Sure to relieve the hunger of the tiny tot and to provide entertainment if you juggle with them and don't spill them or anything. Full of milky goodness and sure to keep your tiny tot going for hours and hours at a time. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[26.06] Supplies Running out of food? Then check your supplies often and buy more when the need for it arises. Sure it might take a while to check the capacities of the fridges, but it better than paying a more ultimate price, death. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[27] Invite Headmaster Inviting the Headmaster is the only way to get your child Sims into a rich Private School. To get the Headmaster, call him via the telephone. He will come at about 5pm (Sim Time). He will knock on the door and before you answer the door, make sure you are ready and prepared for the most difficult person you will ever face in your life. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[27.01] Overview When the Headmaster arrives, you have 6 real life minutes to get the perfect score of 90. You have 3 ways to impress in by. This is Food (how good your food is), Tour (how good your house is) and Schmooze (how lively your talking is). -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[27.02] Food This is how good your food is. He only eats one meal so make it count. The food score is scored in many ways. The more skill points needed to cook the food, the more it will score. Lobster will outrank all the other foods as it is a skill 10 food unlike salmon with is a skill 6 food. What you use to make it is also important. The most expensive fridge will score more than a cheaper fridge. A better oven will score more than a cheap oven. Use a food processor will score more than not using one. What I did was cook salmon with the most expensive equipment. I scored 44 in food when the total score was 90. To get the Headmaster to eat the food, get a Sim to click on him, and under entertain, click "Call for Dinner" -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[27.03] Tour This section will help you on how good you're house is. The better the environment in each room, the more you will score. If a room is loaded with expensive stuff, then you will get a cheer from the old man. You get about 10 points for the cheer. So a good simple explanation is that the environment score for your controllable Sim will give you a guess of your score. The higher the Environment, the more points you will load. There is a maximum of 45 points however and you cannot show more than 5 rooms. What I did was to get him into my dining room, I got 10 points. In the kitchen I got 15 points (It was loaded with the best equipment) and my bathroom scored

another 15 points (I don't know how). To give the man a tour, you have to go click on him, go to entertain and click on "Give Tour." -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[27.04] Schmooze Schmooze is basically the score for your social talk. If you share a common interest with the old fart, you get a better score as only the options chat and brag are available. If you brag, you have a chance of failing, then because you bragged to make yourself look good, you will lose points so chat is the only way to go. What I did involved chatting with two different Sims, only did better than the other. Because so little interactions were available, I scored 23, which is okay. To talk, click on the headmaster and click "Schmooze". You can also schmooze around the dinner table while you feed him. Call him to dinner with the whole family for more points. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[27.05] Total Score Total score is your 3 scores altogether. The bottom of the little box on your top right hand corner is a box with your scores and a total score out of 90. Get a score of 90+ in under 6 real minutes to get your Sims into a private school. I scored 107 in 2 and a half minutes (no seriously, I got a 107). If you achieve the mark, your Sims are in the school and they have to wear a uniform to school but the bus and hours are the same. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[27.06] Secret Points There are secret ways to get more points. If you get the Headmaster into a hot tub, the Aspiration Love Tub being the best, you score 10 extra points. If you make him drink coffee, you will also score another 10 points. The only way you can do that is to set the example with other adults drinking coffee after dinner. Monkey see, Monkey do. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[28] Party Having a party is a fun thing to do. Invite some friends over and share some grog. Make friends and lovers at the same place while others try to get stoned but they can't. There are several party types. You can have a House party, a birthday party and a wedding party. Only the House party can be used normally. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[28.01] Party Level There are several levels on your party. The higher the level, the better the party 1st: 2nd: 3rd: 4th: 5th:

Roof Raiser Good Time Not Bad Snoozer Real Dull

6th: Disaster -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[28.02] How To Get a Good Party To get a good party, invite guests who are friendly to the Sim that is inviting people to the party. This increases the success rate of that certain Sim turning up for the event. Any guest that is already in the house and at the house in the time of the party will also become a guest of the party. Also any friends that you invite over manually can also have a guest of party honour. Having guests that are evil are a thorn in your backside and your Sims backside so I suggest that you kick them out with all your might. If the Sims that you are asking are absent or at work, they will be unable to come to your good or bad party. Sure it may not be nice but thats the way it is. Maybe Maxis thought skipping work for a party is not the best of all ideas. NPC's should come unless they make some cock-and-bull excuse that they are watching their favourite soup for cleaning their llamas. The Party Score is based on how many positive reactions are being made. The more green pluses, the better, the more red crosses, the worse your party will be. Double + reactions are the best ways to make a good party and I've had parties where my two house Sims had kisses everywhere and it was a Roof Raiser. As long as you don't try to kill any Sims, you'll be fine and I will assure you on that. If the guests are friends of one another, this will make the party a success alone. Having two guests that are complete enemies and jerks to one another is not the icing on the cake. The better your computer, the more guests your computer can handle without any major drama. There is a cheat that can allow you to have more guests but then it can make your computer crash and that is not good. Don't make your party too close to midnight as no one will come and the coppers will come to break up the fun. Make sure you provide some food for your guests, you don't want them to be leaving mid way through the party. Have some bathrooms ready and be ready to clean the mess that comes along with them. Don't feed your guests rotten food, use your brain, when you go to someone else's birthday bash, you don't want to have constipation the next day because their parents gave you rotten food do you? If you have parties on a regular basis, have a mechanical Sim in the household as things can get broken and stuffed up very quickly. Toilets and showers are annoying as they will leak water and lower the environment bar in that room a lot so I suggest you get ready. Have TVs and stereos turned on, have your arcades ready to rumble. Get your computers ready and your washrooms in perfect mint condition. A party lasts for 6 hours so try not to have a long night. Have all your Sims attend the party and don't be afraid to order some pizzas to fill up those munchies. A House party is set up via the phone. A marriage ceremony can be done only when some people in the household are about to get married. A birthday party is only able to be held when a Sim is about to be advanced to the next stage in their live. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[29] Build a House

Wow, how to build a house. This section will guide you through the areas that Maxis doesn't pay attention to. So PAY ATTENTION. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[29.01] Decks and Foundations To build a deck, all you have to do is to make a floor with a wall around the end. When you finished, go to build mode and you will see a square outside the wall. Expand outside the wall and build a wall or fence around it. Build a door in the wall to lead to the outside area. Then you have a deck! A foundation is when you have a base to support the upper and below areas of the house. Any wall will be suffice to this job and then you can cover the area above and below with carpet. As Jessica Dahl puts it: "Building a balcony is as easy as putting pillars down at regular intervals and filling those squares with floor tiles... you can then remove the pillars you wish. A porch can be built by extending the foundation beyond the walls of your house. Lay down some wood or stone and there you go." -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[29.02] Basements Basements are easy to build if you have the time and effort to build one. 1) Build a foundation on the floor 2) Remove the centre of the floor, and leave the sides alone 3) Go to the lowest floor possible. Go to build mode a plaster the wall of the foundation with a baseboard. 4) Use the terrain tool to lower the ground and be at the level of the baseboard to build a basement. 5) Use the terrain tool to flatten the ground at the position below the basebord. 6) Use a floor covering to cover the grass 7) Go back to the first floor and place a tile in front of the place where you want a staircase to the basement. This is the landing. 8) Go to the stairs area and place the stairs next to the edge of the tile. Angle the stairs to suit your need. This will connect to the bottom floor. 9) Carpet the rest of the house and then your Sims can access the underground. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[31] Interests Everyone Sims has an interest in something, sure some Sims might like Politics but might hate Money, its random. Sims who have the same interests will get along like a breeze if they Share Interests with each other. This makes their conversations last longer than normal. Also, you can get more relation-

ship points out of this. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[30.01] Your Sims Interests Your Sims have 18 Interests available to them. They might like one more than the other, it's not my problem. The interests are: Animals Crime Culture Entertainment Environment Fashion Food Health Money Paranormal Politics Sci-Fi School Sports Toys Travel Weather Work These interests can change your Sims Aspirations. For example, a Sim with a 10 bar food interest will have a higher chance of getting a Food Aspiration than a Sim who has no interest in it. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[30.02] Changing the Interests The only way to change your Sims' Interests is to read magazines that can be brought from the community lots. They all cost �15 each and can be sold in buy mode for �10 each. The Magazines are *************** *Beyond Belief* *************** "Are there aliens living in your neighborhood? Do the dead still walk the earth? Can knowing any of this help you live longer? Ponder the imponderable and indulge you paranoia with Beyond Belief."

Get the lowdown on the latest toys, wildest creatures, and coolest school projects. No matter how old you are, you're sure to love Young Sim magazine." Changes Interest in Animals, School and Toys -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[31] Memories Memories are things that your Sims will do throughout their life. This will be good things like marriage to fires, which is a bad thing. A memory cannot be erased, just like if you burnt yourself, it is something that you will not forget. Memories will refresh your memory about the good, old times. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[31.01] Your Sim's Memories **************** *____ Got an A+* **************** Blackboard with a Golden Star [Adult] "Good for you!

This is only because you suck and cannot lets your Sims go to heaven without living through hell. These imaginary people will come and whisk your Sim to somewhere and fix them up, no just kidding! -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[32.01] Social Bunny The Social Bunny is an invisible bunny that only appears to the Sim with the full red social bar. You can do anything to this bunny, you can kiss it, hug it, slap it, anything you want with it. The social bunny will leave when your social bar is back to the halfway mark. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[32.02] Therapist The therapist is the only cure to your Sim when he or see has a aspiration meter that is below double red. This therapist will come from the sky and talk to your Sim. Eventually, your Sim will go back to the single red bar and you will be able to control the Sim again. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[33] Miscellaneous Stuff

This section is for stuff that doesn't have a section, that is why it is called miscellaneous stuff. If you have a topic that is not in this section or in the guide and you feel the need to make sure that it is in here, then send it in, it's no good to talk to yourself if no one can here you. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[33.01] Bills This thing really pisses me off. The bill is not calculated by the water, gas and electricity you use, it is the amount of objects you have and their values that they possess. The more you have, the more valuable they are, the more you have to pay. If you don't pay your bills, the bills will grow from a white colour to a yellow colour, then to an orange colour and then red. When it turns red, you will receive a warning that you should pay your bills. If you don't, the repo man will come and take items that are worth the amount of the bills you own. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[33.02] Free Will Free Will is an option allowing you to let the Sims do what they want to do unless you force them to do what you want. They will take care of their needs and others but they can be all over the place. Without Free Will, you are the master and they only take orders from you. There has been a massive debate about free will so what I think is that you should leave it on. But then again, that's my opinion. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[33.03] Vacation Days Vacation Days are aquired by going to work for several days / weeks. When you get a vacation day, what it means that you can skip a day of work and still get paid for it. You do not get access to chance cards and promotions or any other work related things. Use it only when you forget that your Sim has to go to work and they are in such a bad mood that they miss the carpool. If you waste it, even if you are a Business Tycoon, you can still get fired. That is not possible if you have a vacation day up your sleeve. You will have to stay in that same career for a week for so to earn a vacation day. Perfect when you can't get a sickie anymore. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[33.04] Fat and Thin A new addition to the Sims 2 are the fat and the thin. You can control the size of your Sim whether they will be a fat tub of lard or as skinny as a bowling pin (no offense meant). The size of your Sim can be control if you as God look after it properly. To see your Sims weight / blubber, on the mood thingy, there are 5 buttons / options. The fourth one should be it (its above the careers and aspiration rewards buttion). Its the one with the head. One of the options will a guy doing a jumping jack. This is the one that will show if you Sim is fat or thin. There are two influencing factors that contribute to your Sim's weight. Food Your Sim can have their weight like what it is forever if you make sure that their hunger bar does not go over full capacity when their are eating. This is because when you eat food, for the excess energy, it is turned into fat which

happens in the Sims 2. For every gulp of food over the Hunger Bar, your Sim will transfer the food into fat which will drop the fitness bar. Before their meal is complete, cancel their eating action. You have to be careful as the better meals like Lobster when cooked by a master will recover most and quickly so be careful on the mouse. So now, eating a meal consisting of a nice entree, like a hamburger, followed up with some grilled ribs and some salmon, added with some lobster followed up with a baked alaska, it will now have some detrimental effect on the Sim. I mean, you can't just keep eating and eating and not get fat. Exercise Of course, exercise the the only possible way to get your fat little sim thin again. Walking, running and skipping are excluded because there will not be the need to get fit if you get fit by walking. Everything that pumps up your body skill will boost fitness so that is an added incentive to exercise. The personality of the Sim does not effect the fitness of the Sim but active Sims seem to enjoy the exercise unlike their lazy counterpart. Yoga is another way to get rid of that excess flab that no one wants to see. Exercising on a machine or a punching bag will make a Sim fat to thin in about 10 hours. However, this is the fastest way to rid the hygiene bar so be careful on that note. Yoga can make make a fat to thin sim in just about 20 hours. This is a better alternative because you seem to slow the decrease of your motives where as on the machine, you speed up the decrease. Yoga is handy as you only need 3 points of body to perform it and you can do it anywhere. Swimming in a pool can make fat the thin in about 24 hours. This is ineffective as swimming decreases energy like a chainsaw revving up so swimming into shape is not a good idea. The worst offender of fitness is the obstacle course. I thought that working in the military forces will encourage you to get thin, however, it encourages the idea that time exercising is more important than fitness. However, the rate of motive decrease is slower than most activities and body skill seems faster to raise so you can gain more points when trying to get fit on this hunk of junk. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[34] Q&A This section requires people to mail in questions that have to be answered. Questions will be placed in this section. Don't be afraid to e-mail me, I don't bite (not very hard anyway) so send them in. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[34.01] Questions Q. How can I get a faster load time? A. The bigger the house is, the larger the loading time of the house / lot. The more Sims that are in there, the longer it will take to load. The more objects, that are in there, the longer it will load. The more custom items that are in there, the longer it will take to load. All these factors contribute to how the game loads and the loading time of it. Ram will decrease the time (see below) and defragmenting your computer will help. Make sure that you are not trying to load a 8 family, 5 storey house with 50 billion objects

in it because I'm sure that it will take forever. It is known that if you get a gigabyte of ram, it is better. If you only have 512mb ram, you can go buy a stick of ram for about I don't know, �50. Dunno, anyhoo, get that stick of ram, place it on the motherboard and voila. But remember the fact that you can have 1 stick, 2 sticks or 4 sticks of ram, but 3 sticks of ram seem to annoy the computer. Q. How can my game run faster? A. The game can run faster if you install some more ram. Ram is the only way that the game actually runs faster. Your processor speed won't do much and disk defragmenting your computer will only make sure it runs smoother and loads a tad quicker. Q. Where can I find the Disk Defragmenter? A. If you are using Windows, go to start, programs, accessories and then to system tools. If you are using something that the previous does not use, then go to my computer, properities of C:\ drive (or hard drive) and in tools section. It should be the middle tool. Q. I read your walkthrough to the Sims 2 game and what I was looking for was not in it so i was wondering if you could help me out. I am having trouble with keeping my people's lives together. In the first Sims game I noticed that if you used the cheat code moveObjects on and deleted a sim and then clicked on their picture that they would come back and their bars (such as fun, energy, hunger, bladder,and etc) would all be full. I was wondering if there was a way to do the same thing in the Sims 2. I have tried doing that but when you delete the sims you cannot bring them back unless you click the undo button but even when they do come back their bars are still the same as before. A. Simple answer, you can't. Maxis destroy that bug / glitch because it just ruined the point of getting to the top of the career if you go to work in a great cheated mood. I think it is a good idea as people can't really cheat anymore with that aspect. If all your Sims are failing with really bad moods, which is a problem I assume that you are having, then your can't. How about trying to get a better person to be in charge and make sure all their needs are set. I mean, I hope you are not attempting to kill them or anything. Whats the point of playing of you are only going to cheat? You might as well get 10 more games if you are going to cheat in them to get your means of entertainment. The cheats such as motherlode is enough to buy massive, great motive building tools like a wide screen television, double beds, toilets and bathes so their is really is no point in doing that. Many people have lost their Sims because they tried to do that tactic and lost them forever. That is how the game mechanics work and if you are not happy with it, complain to Maxis, the creators of the game. Remember the fact that if you actually decide to delete someone in real life (as in remove off the face of the earth), there is no being them back (unless you play University that can resurrect slain Sims but not deleted Sims) Q. Whats the deal over lawn gnomes? A. Lawn gnomes rock! In the Sims 1, you could make and sell lawn gnomes for a living. Of course, they have made an imfamous return to the Sims 2 as a magical creature that can be played with if your Sim has enough playful points to do so. Of course, if an angry person came along and took your dearly beloved lawn gnome, your Sim will take the magical journey to get the gnome

back and punish the evildoer who took it in the first place. Q. Where can I find this game? A. Go to www.ebgames.com and buy it there. Or your local game shop. They should have this game if it is cool enough. It should be fairly cheaper than the original price as it has been out for about a few months. I think that it should not be over �50 to �60 US at the moment. It should be about double of the price of the University Expansion Pack. Q. What is meant by chucking a sickie? A. When you chuck a sickie, you basically that you can't come to work today because However, if you do this too often to skip boss that won't trust you and you will be

say to your boss on the telephone, you are feeling *cough*sick*cough*. work altogether, you will get a in deep dog do.

Q. Why can't I build? A. You have the pirated copy of the game. Get the real game. Next one to ask me that question will be handed over to the FBI or the CIA of pirated games and raid your house for pirated software and you will burn in the depths of the underworld. Buy the real game, not a copy, not a daemon virtual cd copy, not anything except the real game. I had the cracked copy while I had the real copy and trust me, you will want the real copy, it is needed in the University expansion pack anyway. Q. Why is Maxis obsessed with Llamas? A. Well Llamas are super cool. It started in SimCity 2 with the Llamas making their major debut on screen. There was a structure reward with the name Llama in it, Llamas were the only animals that were actually named in the zoo, the newspaper will take about the Llamas being killed in an air crash and there was even a speed called Llama which was 2/5 in speed. Llamas are big, furry creatures that walk around and eat grass. They used to love South America but the company of Maxis decided that this lonely animals needed some more attention and placed it in their games. If you from now on hear the animal called a Llama in the gaming community, chances are that they are talking about a Maxis game. Q. How do I get an Aspiration Change? A. Simple answer, you cannot. If you could, (you can in University) you can acquire so many different want that it would not be fair. You can then change aspirations fully in Nightlife. The reason for the change is that you access new aspirations. It was not included in the base game since there wasn't much to change with anyway, and the change in Nightlife is based on the fact that there are 7 Aspirations to change into, instead of 5. Also, the inclusion of Lifetime Wants in University also gives the fact that some Wants are harder to achieve than others and as such, a change will reset the want. There are no such wants in the base game, therefore, there is no warrant for a change. Also, you couldn't get the Grilled Cheese Aspiration in the base game :) Q. How do I get my Sims to wear their clothes they brought from a community lot? A. You have to have a wardrobe. Click on the plan outfit and then click on the type of clothing that your Sim brought. Change the outfit till you get the one

you brought from the community lot. Q. What is a hack? A. A hack is simply something that has been changed within the game. Hacks range from Career Hacks which are "new" careers created by people who entered the games system and "changed" some stuff. Other hacks range from recolours and mods like the Slow Aspiration Meter which reduces the speed which the Aspiration Meter Decreases. Some hacks are painless like the Maxis creations but others can be harmful like the Hacked Objects which when deleted can cause some houses not to load. Q. How can I detect a hack? A. Some really smart people have created a hack scanner which you place in your Downloads folder (My Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2\Downloads) and it will scan the folder of all of the package files in there. It will check what every one of the packages are. You can download the hack scanner from http://djssims.deepmyth.com. Q. How come when I maximize the Sims 2, I only see a blue screen. What happened to the game? A. You have to wait. The Sims 2 game file uses quite a lot of memory and when you minimize the game, the memory use is discharged. To get the game running again, all the memory previously used must be redirected back to the game. This effect is not an instant one so you have to wait. Depending on what you were on before, the game will take time to load. The bigger the house, the longer time needed to load. The smaller the house, the faster to load. The neighbourhood screen won't take that long to load unlike your Sim's house. Q. How do I potty train? A. Dear me, you must really suck. To potty train toilet for the toddler, and click on it to potty click on it to get the baby in it. Same with the to change a diaper, so forth. The baby must have before they can pee it all out you know.

a baby, you have to buy the train it. Some with the crib, changing station, click on it some pee in their bladder

Q. How do I woohoo in public? A. Come on, you've got access to the boards and other FAQs and yet you still don't know how. To woohoo in public, try on clothes in a community lot, when you go into the changing booth, click on the lucky Sim and click ask to join, and the Sim will come and before entering, will look around. When they woohoo, the store attendants that are in the building floor as them will watch and cheer. I once has over 10 attendants rush over! Q. What's your serial key? A. GoBu-YThe-Game-UAss-Hole. Get the game and pay for it. You don't have a serial key, BUY THE GAME. YOU ARE NOT GOING TO GET MINE. OVER MY GODDAM BODY YOU WILL HAVE TO PASS TO GET IT. Q. How can I change Aspirations? A. Once you choose an aspiration, it stays forever. FOREVER DUDE!

Q. Does it rain? A. It should but Maxis is probably leaving the weather for an Expansion Pack to make more money. Cheap bastards. Anyway, just wait for a few more expansion packs and the rain will come. It takes a lot of animation or rain, hail and shine to come down and probably a weather channel for details for torommow's forecast. Plus all those items that will be needed to keep your Sims dry, plus the effect of the rain coming down to your neighbourhood, your Sims getting wet, etc ,etc. They might as well make a clothes line next. Q. What are the colours around the Sims when they are peeing, bathing? A. You pervert! It is a blur of the colours around it to stop you from seeing more than you need to see. It's CENSORED FOR A REASON YOU SICK MINDED MOTHER ******! Why, do you feel alone in this world and can't find some real *ahem* you have to rely on cheap animiated *censored* material? -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[35] Codes This section is for your stupid freakin cheaters out there.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------[36] Bug and Glitches This section is devoted to the screw ups and the problems with the Sims 2. This is not a guide devoted to piss off and annoy Maxis and how crap this game is. A guide this size would not be this big if you have such a small section on this. I mean, every game has a flaw in it. Nothing in this world is perfect so how will the Sims 2 be prefect. It's not a perfect world people. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------[36.01] Bugs Cooking Bug When you reach the prestige of a cooking skill of 10 which is the max, sometimes you won't be able to cook anything beyond the first level. This is a bug that happened to my teenage Sim in the game. Kidnapper!?! When visitors come to your house and you have a baby or a toddler, sometimes the visitor will play with your baby, hold it and then take it away when the visitor goes home. When they return, you'll never see the baby again. Lazy Maid When you hire a maid in your house, she will clean everything except take out the trash from the trash compactor. What a lazy maid! Art Bug When you have your Sims do a still life painting, you have to take a snapshot of the spot you want to have painted. Take a snapshot and minimize the Sims 2. Find the snapshot in the My Documents/EA Games/The Sims 2/Storytelling. Open the snapshot.bmp with a picture editing program. Now screw up the file till

you like it but keep the resolution the same. Overwrite the old file with your file and return to the Sims 2. Turn off pause and your Sim will paint what you what created before. Invisible Sim When you reach the top of a career that bring you home in a helicopter, your Sim might bring a friend. That friend will be invisible and you don't know where it is. You can fix it by getting another guest and say goodbye to all or you could just kill it. Meditate When you have a Sim in the toilet and meditates away, no one will use that toilet because they believe that the Sim is still in there. Grow Old Fast! When my teenager grew into an adult, I saved the game, went to the house of his girlfriend, and had her get married to him at her house. I had saved the game before his "age meter" went down to zero again, and when 6pm hit, he turned into an elder. (Fortunately, he and his young bride were still able to have children.) Serve the Ghost If you serve dinner/breakfast between 8 pm and 6 am, the Sim will put out a plate for each ghost which is active at the time. The ghost can't (or at least didn't) eat the food, but was still served. Not in Use Couch A couch sometimes can't be moved. It can't be selected and it can't be sold because something is going to use it but it won't. To fix this, start by moving out then moving back in. Or use the move objects on cheat. Unable Want Teenagers have a want to write a novel. This is not able to happen due to the age restrictions. I mean, how many teens right novels? None. The patch will fix this up though. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------[B] Webmaster Information ONLY GAMEFAQS WILL HOST THIS FAQ UNTIL OTHERWISE STATED
