*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Now, Let the Guide Begin~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~* [1.01] Introduction Welcome to my 51st guide, and it has been exactly 50 guides since my first guide was released, which was for the predecessor of this game, the Sims 2. Despite my feverish attempts to keep away, there was public support for me to do this, and as such, here I am. Anyway, this guide is for the Sims 3, the sequel/prequel to the Sims 2, sequel in terms of gameplay, prequel in terms of storyline. This is just the base game, and as such, when expansions do come into play, which is a definite, it will only cover the base game, whether I do the expansions is completely up to my discretion. Without further ado, let us start. Again. *~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~* [1.02] Version History Version 0.0 [24/6/09] I'm back! Not that I was gone. Anyway, did a start, finished 12 whole traits. This might take a while. Version 0.1 [25/6/09] Doing more of the traits, glad to see people tuning in. 16 more traits done, this is taking a bit longer than I expected, but I am going relatively in depth on this, I do find it is quite important. Version 0.2 [26/6/09] Pushing through, about 20 more traits to go, which means I should finish tomorrow. I plan to do the moodlets next. Version 0.3 [27/6/09] All the traits done. Even the secret ones. This was a grind session. Version 0.4 [28/6/09]

All the Moodlets are complete. I'd never thought I'd get it done. Version 0.5 [29/6/09] Start on the total wishes list, finish up to F, still G-Z to go. Version 0.6 [30/6/09] Completed all the Wishes, but internet is down, so no upload. Which is rather annoying. Version 0.7 [2/7/09] Well, taking a day off, given that I felt a bit burnt out, and the internet was still down, but now it is up, for now. Better upload this quickly. Anyway, sections 5.01-5 is done. Version 0.8 [5/7/09] All the skills are finished, now to decide what to do next. Given the choice, I think I'll start on those indepth skills that I promised. Version 0.9 [8/7/09] Completed 5 Career paths. Version 1.0 [9/7/09] 4 more career paths complete. 2 more main paths and the side jobs and that will finish careers. Version 1.1 [10/7/09] All the careers and part time careers are done. Finally. Version 1.2 [14/7/09] Completed the Cooking and Fishing indepth guides. Version 1.3 [15/7/09] Completed Gardening and Guitar skill guides. Version 1.4 [17/7/09] Completed all the Indepth guides. *~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~* [1.03] Differences What is so different about this game over the Sims 2? Well, there are several things that you will use in this game and once you use it, you won't have a second doubt that this upgrade was a wonderful choice. * Seemless neighbourhood. Basically, although you can no longer play and modify community lots, they are now just interaction buildings, your neighbourhood is seemless, when time moves with your family, it also does for other families, so keep that in mind. * No loading time, and this is quite significant, in previous games, waiting 5 minutes to load up a large community park was a standard. I could make a cup of tea in that time. * Personal Cars for your Sims use, Inventory System, Trait System, and so much more. There is a lot to discover in this game, and part of my job, as the

perfectionist that I am, is to cover ALL of it. This will be a long project and a long guide, but make no doubt, this will be done. And for those who say that it is stripped back to the basics, you need to note that a lot of the concepts from the Sims 2 and all the expansion packs have been added. For example, fishing and gardening from Seasons is back, Young Adults from University has been added, Cars from Nightlife is added, business ownership from Open for Business has been added, so quite a fair bit has been added. *~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~* [2.01] Creating a Sim Well, your manual does a good job to this, so there isn't much of a need for me to go into how you create your Sim. You can create a real ugly, feral, zombie looking thing, or you can create the right hand of God, or somewhere in between, and as always, yourself. As always, there is your head, clothing, all that little kafuffle that I really can't be bothered going over, you can play around with the tools themselves, because it isn't necessary for me to do and talk abou this. Anyway, the thing that I will talk about are the traits and the favourites that you can have your Sims adopt. Basically, traits are a set of 5 qualities, less if you are not playing with adults, and these will effect the personality of your Sim throughout the game, but as always, these are not permanent. They will get their own section later, because there is a lot to go on with traits, and a little in depth discussion on them is due. Finally, there are the favourites. Here, you can set your favourite foods, colours and music for your Sim, and basically, when they use objects or eat foods or dance to music that is their favourite, they will get an extra mood boost from it. The list of favourite foods that are shipped with the base game include: * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Waffles French Toast Pancakes Fruit Parfait Autumn Salad Cheesesteak Dim Sum Fish and Chips Grilled Cheese Grilled Salmon Hamburger Hot Dog Lobster Thermidor Mac and Cheese Peanut Butter and Jelly Goopy Carbonara Ratatouille Spaghetti Tri-Tip Steak Stu Surprise Sushi

* Cobbler * Cookies * Key Lime Pie The list of all possible favourite colours are: * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Aqua Blue Turquoise Spice Brown Green Irish Green Lime Grey Orange Purple Spiceberry Violet Lilac Pink Hot Pink Red White Sea Foam Yellow Black

Finally, the list of all music. Note that when I say custom, it is basically the music channel that you can set yourself. You can import music into the relevant folder. For those wonder, it is in My Documents -> Electronic Arts -> The Sims 3 -> Custom Music Anyway, the list of favourite music possible: * * * * * * *

Electronic Indie Pop Latin Classical Kids Custom Music

And that should be all to it. Note that you don't have a lot of clothes, HOWEVER, you can move the slider along and you can modify the clothes and their colours. Basically, the clothes that you are given are templates, you can colour them to whatever you want, but no doubt that the modding community, which will definitely thrive in this game, will provide you with a truckload as well. *~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~* [2.02] Aging Shock horror, there is no aging cheat in this game, there is an option to turn off aging altogether in the options section of the game. Look for it yourself or use the manual. However, if you are going to use aging, this is

going to be very different. Why? Because you can also now adjust the aging of other characters, that you don't control, basically, the townies or the NPCs of the game. Also, you can adjust the rate in which Sims age. They can age rather rapidly, and have quite short livespans, or they can have exceptionally long lifespans, you can set it to epic and have them live for at least 960 days, provided they don't befall a certain accident. Basically, aging is a key factor in this game, and one that you can control. The manual should provide more information on this, and I assume that you all have manuals, one thing that I have learnt over the last 4 and a half years in writing is that manuals go together with guides, guides are not to overtake manuals. *~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~* [2.03] Traits This is going to be a massive section. There are over sixty different traits that you can choose from in this game, and currently, in the base game, you can only have 5, though that may change in future expansion packs. There are some secret traits, though I will only confirm the Pyromaniac perk. Anyway, lets get started. *************** *Absent-Minded* *************** Absent Minded Sims are just that, they will always seem to be lost in their thoughts, pausing to think about anything and everything. And they sometimes forget what they were meant to do, which can be quite a problem. --==Benefits==-There are really no real benefits of being absent minded, though if you want a Sim who is very forgetful, then this would be ideal. --==Disadvantages==-Where do I start? Basically, they will, all of a sudden, stop what they are doing and start to think. Although this may be fun to watch, this will cost you valuable time which your Sims may not have. --==Unique Properties==-Sometimes, when they are watching television and they are finished watching it, being absent minded that they are, they will turn off the TV, which may be handy, however, not handy to those who are still watching. --==Usefulness==-0/5 There is really no practical and useful way to utilise this trait, and as such, they do not have any use.

*********** *Ambitious* *********** Those who are ambitious have high hopes, they aim for everything and they will stop at nothing to achieve it. They will aim as high as they can, and want to shoot up the career ladder, but they will get rather depressed when they don't get that promotion that they are looking for. --==Benefits==-There are two real benefits of bing ambitious, they will have a higher rate of job performance gained at work, which means that they will get promoted or get that raise faster, and they will get increased lifetime points when they have one of their wishes fulfilled. --==Disadvantages==-One problem is that if they do not get promoted, and at level 10, get enough raises at regular intervals, they will get an Anxious moodlet, which will have a detrimental effect on their mood, which isn't exactly one of the best things that you want to have. --==Unique Properties==-In order to keep these little princesses happy, you need to enough that you build up their performance at work fast, or else they get depressed and then you'll be in a real fix. --==Usefulness==-2.5/5 Sure, it is quite useful, since increased job performance will make sure that you get a little more money, however, if they don't get their promotions quick enough, they throw temper tantrums, and that can be a problem to keep in check. ******** *Angler* ******** Basically, a fisherman's friend, the angler trait means that your Sims will be able to play with fish more. They catch better fish than other Sims and they will do it faster as well, as well as enjoying fishing more than other Sims. --==Benefits==-Anglers will be able to catch more fish, faster than all the other Sims can, and the added bonus is that they will be able to boost their fishing skill at a much faster rather than Sims without this trait. --==Disadvantages==-Besides smelling like fish all the time, they really don't have any disadvantages in terms of personality.

--==Unique Properties==-All anglers will start off with a fishing book in their inventory, allowing them to boost their skills faster. They will also gain more fun when they are fishing, which is nice if they need a little stress relief. --==Usefulness==-4.5/5 This is a hell of a useful trait, and under normal circumstances, I would give it full marks, but I'm going to save full marks for those that I think are the best of the traits, and as such, 4.5 are for good traits, and 5 are for the best of the best. ********** *Artistic* ********** Those who are artistic have a natural talent with the brush, and as such, they are quite useful in making a hell of a lot of money through painting. They make good artists, and indirectly, musicians and writers. --==Benefits==-These Sims get their Painting skills a lot faster than other Sims, which is quite useful. They will also gain their Guitar and Writing skills faster than other Sims, but not as fast as their gains in Painting. --==Disadvantages==-No shortcomings, except that they throw paint everywhere. --==Unique Properties==-Like many other traits, these Sims love to talk about their hobbies and as such, they can talk about the arts to other Sims. Also, with free will enabled, they will interact with the guitar and paint easel far more often, which is nice. --==Usefulness==-5/5 This is one hell of a useful trait. For those Sims for which the prospect of a job does not entertain them, painting, busking and novel writing is a good way of making money. The higher your skill, the more money you make, and as such, it is a good idea to level up all those three skills fast to make a lot of money fast. Though this is considered an indirect job. ********** *Athletic* **********

Athletic Sims are the athletes, they are the best in their fields of running, throwing spears everywhere and trying to out hammer throw the Hammer Bros. They can push their bodies to the limit and far beyond that of normal Sims. --==Benefits==-Athletic Sims earn their athletic skills a lot faster than that of other Sims, and being as fit as they are, they will take a lot longer period of time to get the negative Fatigued moodlet that people who exercise can get. --==Disadvantages==-Since they love keeping fit and being health nuts, they will not tolerate other Sims bad-mouthing fitness, and if they hear that, they will suffer a nice relationship drop. --==Unique Properties==-These Sims have it good, they love their exercise, and they also love to talk about exercise to other interested Sims, though don't think that they will have a nice time with couch potatoes. --==Requirements==-CANNOT HAVE COUCH POTATO TRAIT --==Usefulness==-2/5 Sure, it is nice to build up your athletic skill, but the problem is that the athletic skill pretty much has no use, unlike many of the other skills, they don't make money, or save money. ********** *Bookworm* ********** Bookworms have a passion to read and write books, which is quite handy for aspiring novelists. They are quick to read through all books, and they are faster in terms of writing books. --==Benefits==-The Bookworm are able to read through books faster, which are useful in finishing recipe books and fish books, and that means that they will be able to get that new recipe faster. They will also be able to write faster in terms of writing novels, their homework, or just working on their writing skill. They will also get more fun from reading, which is quite useful as well. --==Disadvantages==-The best thing is, they have no disadvantages.

--==Unique Properties==-Like many other traits, the Bookworm love to talk about their hobbies, and they will love to talk about books to other Sims, which is always a nice touch. Also, they will get a nicer environmental boost from rooms with a bookshelf in it, which is nice to attain that beautiful lot moodlet. --==Usefulness==-5/5 Seriously, writing through novels faster is exceptionally interesting because they can get through more novels faster, and given that some books, requiring about 24 Sim hours to get it down will get at least a thousand Simoleons and this is for 6 weeks. Seriously, a very useful perk. ******* *Brave* ******* Brave Sims are fearless, they fear nothing, and in the face of adversity, they will stay calm and take the disaster head on. They will sacrifice themselves in order to protect those that they love, and the possession that they treasure. --==Benefits==-Brave Sims are brave, and even though most Sims who tackle on burglars are at least Level 3 on the career chain for Law Enforcement, Brave Sims don't need that prerequisite in order to fight burgulars and defend their home. Brave Sims can also use a fire extinguisher to immediately put out a fire should it get out of hand, and unlike other Sims, he will not panic. Finally, they will do much better in the Law Enforcement and Military career than other normal Sims, who aren't brave. --==Disadvantages==-Brave Sims are brave, and as such, they fear nothing, and have no disadvantages. --==Unique Properties==-These Sims have guts, willing to talk on robbers in their homes, well, it isn't all that hard, those robbers aren't even armed with plastic sporks, let alone a plastic butter knife. They will also have the ability to occasionally demand a raise from their boss whilst at work, though the probability of success is proportional to the job performance, the more that meter is filled, the higher the chance of success, though it might backfire and that could be nasty. --==Requirements==-CANNOT PICK THE COWARD OR LOSER TRAIT --==Usefulness==--

3/5 Sure, being able to put out fires and take on robbers is a nice side bonus, but the real benefit is the Law Enforcement and the Military career bonus. If you are planning to move into those career ladders, this is useful, but otherwise, they are home defenders. ***************** *Can't Stand Art* ***************** Sims who cannot tolerate Art will be intolerant towards art, they cannot stand such snooty paintings. Never place an expensive piece of art in the home of one who hates art, it will give them a negative moodlet. --==Benefits==-There is no benefit to hating art, except hating art. --==Disadvantages==-Basically, when they see an expensive piece of art, they will get a big negative moodlet, and a small piece of art, or an inexpensive piece of art, they will still get a negative moodlet. They will not tolerate talk about art either. --==Usefulness==-1/5 Besides it's usefulness to making some nice movies, there is no real point to making this a trait. Use make sure that you don't send them into an art gallery, it might make them explode with rage. ************* *Charismatic* ************* These are the Barack Obamas of Sims, these are for the great orators and the great communicators. As such, they will love to throw parties and socializing and they will never put a foot wrong in social situations. These guys are everyones best friend, though it might be hard to maintain all those connections. --==Benefits==-All of these Sims will have a great advantage in the social conversation, as they will always get more friendship points than other Sims with the same amount of talk. They will also do a lot better when they are in jobs that have tones that involve social interaction, for example, Law Enforcement when talking to their partner, they will get more job performance for the same amount of effort. --==Disadvantages==--

There are no disadvantages to being a social butterfly, however, you do need to maintain all those friendships. --==Unique Properties==-These boost other Sims. well.

will be gifted with a Charisma book at the start, so they have a little to play with initially. They will also be able to debate politics with Sims, which is useful as a source of interaction between like-minded They can also boost about anything and everything, to good effect as

--==Requirements==-CANNOT HAVE LOSER TRAIT. --==Usefulness==-3.5/5 Friends are no longer a requirement for jobs, which is one tell of a useful removal, because it was hard to maintain a lot of friends. However, it isn't useful if you need to maintain thousands of friends, in real life, we have Facebook, the Sims don't have that luxury. ********** *Childish* ********** Childish Sims are just that, they cannot act their actual age, so they are literally childish at heart. They will be ale to act as a child, even when they are an adult. I mean, who doesn't like playing with their doll house at the age of 40 >_> --==Benefits==-The benefits from children's toys are still useful in giving the associated moodlets for it. Basically, the beneficial moodlets from toys will still apply when they are an adult. --==Disadvantages==-Childish Sims are easily bored, and remember when we were kids, weren't we all? Anyway, if they are at the end of repeating social interactions, the effects in terms of relationship are much lower. So you'll need a fair amount of variety to make sure that they are entertained. --==Unique Properties==-There are two fun properties that belong to childish Sims, they will not be afraid of Ghosts, seeing that the only ghost they know of is Casper the Friendly Ghost, and secondly, and somewhat strangely, they will have the ability to fish in a swimming pool. There are a variety of things that come into mind when you fish into a swimming pool, and fish aren't the things that come into mind. --==Usefulness==--

1.5/5 Lets face it, this isn't all that useful, environmental boosts from children toys are easily overtaken with a nice, expensive piece of art, and being able to fish in the pool isn't as much fun as the sea, and finally, being scared of ghosts isn't such a big deal, wet your pants, and move on. ******** *Clumsy* ******** Being a butterfingers isn't actually such fun, nor is being a clutz either. There are some interesting things that can come out of being butterfingers, and dropping everything everywhere, but hey, most of use are butterfingers anyway, right? --==Benefits==-Well, does having brand new china plates every night count? --==Disadvantages==-Okay, this will be interesting. When they are catching fish, their skills with handling fish may occasionally let the fish escape, which isn't all that nice. They will occasionally drop their plate of food on the floor as their fingers "slip". Quite funny really. --==Unique Properties==-This is the best one, when they are proposing and on one knee, proposing with the ring, they drop the ring. If this isn't useful for videos, I don't know what is. This is entertainment at it's best. --==Usefulness==-3/5 Despite it being bad, it does have a hell of a lot of comedic appeal, I mean, who doesn't want to see a proposal go bad? It's like an episode of everyone's favourite sitcom. At look on the bright side, at least they didn't tape over the video game with a NFL match, and then tape over the NFL moment of the match with the Sealing Kiss. ******************* *Commitment Issues* ******************* These Sims, as you can already gather, have some problems saying "I Do", and as such, they will try and avoid all forms of settling down. They enjoy living the high life, so they don't want long term relationships, and they don't want long term careers, think of them as Slackers in the Sims 2. And don't think about marriage either. --==Benefits==--

There are no benefits to not settling down. Maybe living the high life? --==Disadvantages==-These Sims do not take to relationship type social interactions well, they do not, like, for example, a proposal to get marriage or engaged, that is a form of being settled down, and that is something that they don't want. --==Unique Properties==-There is one way for such Sims to get married, they need to have an extremely strong romantic bond, thing of them as exceptionally insecure, they need to have proof that the other person loves them back rather than blind faith. They will also not take kindly to staying in a career for a long time. And that normally means that when it starts to look good for them, as in career prospects, they will want another job, in another career path. --==Usefulness==-2.5/5 Well, this is starting to describe a fair amount of people nowadays, but it is interest to make a movie out of this, see how ways that a person can escape a marriage proposal. It'd be like being trapped into a corner, with a person on one knee, and then, they teleport away. Now that would be a nice movie. Just make sure you do it before Hollywood gets in the way. *************** *Computer Whiz* *************** These guys are sort of like me, love spending their time on the computer and anything to do with computers, they are good with. They are quite good with tinkering at their computer, and they also are good enough to start some freelance work through hacking. --==Benefits==-Basically, being good with computers allows your Sims to repair their computers, provided that they have some Handiness skill, with relative ease and without fail. That saves money on repair costs. They can also go in and start some hacking, they will get some money for hacking, though the money isn't that great. And also, when they decide to play games on the computer, they will get more fun out of it than other Sims. --==Disadvantages==-There are no disadvantages of being a computer whiz besides the lack of a social life and sunlight, but that's about it XD --==Unique Properties==-They have their unique properties, they can hack computers and they can repair them, but they can also go and talk about computers to other Sims, though that is provided that they are interested in that subject.

--==Usefulness==-3.5/5 It is a nice trait, but overall, it isn't the best, in my opinion. Sure, being able to repair the computer is a good idea, and the hacking income is rather mediocre at best, and sure, having increased fun is a good idea, but that is about all of it. It isn't bad, but it isn't riveting either. ************** *Couch Potato* ************** These Sims are not actual potatoes, but they are just the lazy slobs that decide it is a good idea to sit and watch the television all day, all the time. Sure, it is a good life, but they need a hell of a lot of work for them to actually become active, or even get a job. If only watching TV was a paid job... --==Benefits==-The main benefit is that when they are comfy, on the couch or in bed, they will have a far stronger Comfy moodlet. That means, their perk is about 50% stronger than that of other Sims, which is a nice mood boost. They also get fun a lot faster than that of other Sims when they watch television. --==Disadvantages==-The main disadvantage is that they need a lot more sleep than other Sims. This is quite a powerful disadvantage for one reason, because it takes a lot more time for sleep/energy to be recovered this time around. --==Unique Properties==-These Sims cannot do workout unless a very good mood. This is important and you want to trim that flab, you often means a lot of sitting on the

they are in a really good mood, and I mean because if they are dangerously overweight need to make them really happy, and that couch, watching the idiot box.

--==Requirements==-CANNOT HAVE ATHLETIC TRAIT --==Usefulness==-2/5 Sure, it is great to have such a perk, they get more fun and the Comfy moodlet lasts that little bit longer, but overall, the disadvantage of the extra time that is lost to sleep is far more significant. Bear in mind that having fun can increase skills, sleeping doesn't. ******** *Coward*

******** This always reminds me of the Monty Python and the Holy Grail, get back here, cowards! Anyway, a coward is scared of anything and everything that can remotely cause them harm, so they are pretty much useless in a fight. Make sure you purchase enough bubble-wrap. --==Benefits==-There are no benefits of being a coward, except the countless video opportunities for funny videos. --==Disadvantages==-These guys will get a Scared moodlet whenever they cross pathes with a ghost, a burglar, fire, and even the Grim Reaper, regardless of the target that is looking for. When those stimuli present themselves, they will normally run like the wind, but sometimes, they may just collapse instead. --==Unique Properties==-What is unique to them is the ability to run away, they will get that lovely option to flee. --==Requirements==-CANNOT HAVE BRAVE OR DAREDEVIL TRAIT --==Usefulness==-1/5 Sure, there are many video opportunities, but there is no practical use about them and my rating is all about practical uses, not the countless video opportunities, or this will get OVER 9000! *********** *Daredevil* *********** These guys are the thrill seekers, the adrenaline junkies. They live on the extreme side of life, with little regard of the consequences. These guys are crazy, and what it does is allow them to do EXTREME chores. Crazy. --==Benefits==-These guys will be able to put out a fire on the lot they are currently on a lot faster than normal Sims, but not as good as a firefighter. Also, they can never be burnt to death, so if you want a homicidal maniac who kills their prey with a blowtorch, go ahead. --==Disadvantages==-They don't have any disadvantages, do they do need maintain their thrill seeking behaviour.

--==Unique Properties==-These guys are crazy. With their normal household duties, they can have an EXTREME option of it, which sort of gives them a little fun. They can also use the Watch This social interaction, which pretty much means that they will do some extreme stuff, and receive the Adrenaline Rush moodlet for their troubles. It pays to be crazy for these guys. --==Requirements==-CANNOT HAVE COWARD TRAIT --==Usefulness==-3.5/5 This is one of the most interesting traits, it is fun to be a homicidal maniac, and that is what gets the points. Well, if they are bad cooks, the whole house can burn down, yet they will survive. Writing this gives me so many movie ideas. ******************* *Dislikes Children* ******************* Yes, you too can be like Mr. Burns, just hate children. As such, these Sims don't want to do anything to do with children, they don't want to talk to them, they don't want to play or entertain them, they don't want to teach them, and more importantly, they don't want to give birth or be part of the birth of a child. --==Benefits==-Besides from being the evil monster and the bane of children everywhere, nothing. --==Disadvantages==-These Sims will not take it lightly to be around children, they will go out of their way to make their life, and the life of the guardian, a living hell. If children and these Sims are on the same lot, prepare for some fireworks. --==Unique Properties==-These Sims feel evil around children, and when they are near children, they will get a negative moodlet. Don't worry, if they hate children so much, they don't reproduce, and as such, they will not have the opportunity to be near them. --==Usefulness==-0.5/5 There isn't any use for this, so really, besides video appeal, everything

about them are bad. So practically, this gets a 0.5 from me, which is far more generous than a zip. ****************** *Easily Impressed* ****************** These Sims are just easy to impress, even the smallest of successes, like not falling over on the pavement when doing one's shoelaces. Really, they aren't hard to impress. Maybe they just have low standards. --==Benefits==-These Sims, as you can already gather, will always have a positive response to social interactions that involve boasting in some way, shape or form. And that is about it. --==Disadvantages==-None, except the disturbing lack of any high standards that these Sims seem to possess. --==Unique Properties==-See, this is quite a powerful effect, though you want this in other Sims, and not so much your own. Sims who are easily impressed are the best for Sims who like boasting, and they make easy friends, you can just boast to them twice a day and they'll be happy. --==Usefulness==-4/5 This is quite useful in making friends, however, it is only useful if that is the person on the receiving end of a boast, rather than the delivering end. However, it is useful in inter-family affairs, and if you keep a tight knit family, useful in a parent, how doesn't like their kid succeeding? Don't answer that question. ****** *Evil* ****** These guys, as you can already tell by the name of the trait, are evil. They love the dark side, and if they had a choice, they'd all be using dual red lightsabres. Anyway, they love taking enjoyment when other fail, which is pretty much all of society, and they love to be as far away from the goody goodies as possible. Imagine loving next to a police station... --==Benefits==-These Sims get moodlets around the failure of others. When one of the mood bars of others reach the breaking point, so when others are quite hungry or need to use the toilet, or are droopy, they will get a nice positive moodlet out of that. And of course, they will always have an affinity to the dark

arts, and in this game, that means that they will do very well in the Criminal career path. --==Disadvantages==-Of course, they do not get along with those with the Good trait. That means that should a person with the Good trait meets your Sim, expect a fair share of disagreements. It is possible to keep that friendship going, though it is under a fair amount of strain. They also don't do well with those in Law Enforcement either. --==Unique Properties==-These guys have a head start in crime, and they are one side of the battle between good vs evil. Other than that, they don't have much in terms of uniqueness. --==Requirements==-CANNOT HAVE THE GOOD TRAIT --==Usefulness==-4.5/5 This is exceptionally useful if you love to be evil, though it is the bane of those who are good. They excel in crime, and they take enjoyment out of the misery of others, but that is about it. Now, if only there were lightsabres already included, or maybe a chicken costume. *********** *Excitable* *********** These guys are so excited about anything and everything. These will get a nice boost when things go right, if something good happens, they get a positive vibe, but they don't get the reverse, which is a pretty good thing, if you come to think about it. --==Benefits==-These Sims can get the positive moodlet of being excited from a large amount of activities that have them doing something that is beneficial. Things like dancing to their favourite music, eating their favourite food, catching a fish or winning an opportunity event, will have them gaining that moodlet. Fun, eh? --==Disadvantages==-The best thing about being excitable is, besides the lack of caffeine, is that they have no disadvantages. --==Unique Properties==-These guys can get the positive moodlet before anything, and this is a very powerful benefit in it's own right. I mean, if their favourite meal was a

stack of pancakes before going to work, you can see where I'm going. And no, you don't need to pack a suitcase. --==Requirements==-CANNOT HAVE GRUMPY TRAIT --==Usefulness==-5/5 This is one hell of a useful trait, like I said, if you set the favourite meal to something they can eat before work, like some waffles or some pancakes for breakfast (I'm almost tempted to post the link to the waffle song), they will get a nice positive moodlet, and before work, that will give them a nice boost to that promotion or raise they've been looking for. ***************** *Family Oriented* ***************** These guys are all about family, so if you want a nice family business, this is a good trait to possess. These guys make super parents, they are the best of the best for parents, they love children and their family. What is more to be said? --==Benefits==-Like I said, they love their family, and as a result, they will have a much better relationship start than others with family. They can also teach their children more effectively than other Sims, which is consistant with their family based trait. --==Disadvantages==-Besides from the fact that they might smother their children, and the overbearing love, no baddies here. --==Unique Properties==-As many other traits, these guys have the ability to talk about their trait, and as such, they can talk about their family to others. That's if they will bother to listen. --==Usefulness==-3.5/5 Sure, this is useful in terms of family care, but other than that, this isn't all that useful when you come to think about it. Sure, it does help you teach your kids to walk and talk faster than other Sims, but other than that, it doesn't do all that much. ******** *Flirty*

******** People who should be told to get a room fall under this umbrella. These Sims always look for some romance, and they are somewhat more successful than those who can't be bother trying, though it doesn't say much about the type of people that they attract. --==Benefits==-These Sims have access to the flirt actions earlier on in a relationship than those of other Sims, which is quite a useful boost, but remember that the social can be rejected as well as accepted, so just keep that in mind. They also do well with such socials, getting more of a boost. And finally, when they go out and get massages from the spa, they get a little more in terms of a boost. --==Disadvantages==-Besides the possibility of rejection and emotional heartache that could last anywhere from a second to a minute, nothing bad. --==Unique Properties==-These guys, when they have free will on them, will tend to use a lot more social interactions that lead to flirting, which could be a good thing in getting more conquests, but it could also be a bad thing as it would lead to more rejections as well. --==Requirements==-CANNOT HAVE UNFLIRTY TRAIT --==Usefulness==-4/5 This is quite useful if you want to make as many romantic partners as the moon has craters, but there are other problems, continued flirting can be a problem if it leads to problems with other Sims. Just keep an eye on what they are doing, and they'll be fine. At least they don't have problem finding the perfect one. Or at least they'll find someone to keep them company for the night. ********** *Friendly* ********** Friendly Sims are just that, they are friendly to everyone that they meet, and as such, they are very good at making new friends, which is rather useful if you are striving for political careers. --==Benefits==-Basically, these Sims are best at making friendships, they will be able to make friendships faster and they start with a larger boost to a relationship when they first meet a new Sim, which is nice. They also have a much easier

time when they are making friendships, as social interactions give a larger boost than before. --==Disadvantages==-There are no disadvantages to being friendly, not everyone is as friendly as Ned Flanders. --==Unique Properties==-Pretty much what was stated, they get a larger boost when they are starting a friendship, which is nice, and they will find int easier to make friends with other Sims, which again, is always nice. --==Requirements==-CANNOT HAVE THE MEAN OR INAPPROPRIATE TRAIT --==Usefulness==-3.5/5 This is only useful for Charisma type jobs, and that is the Politics and to a lesser extent, the Journalism career. Of course, having a lot of friends is rather nice, but the amount of notices that you will get to maintain the friendships that you have are quite annoying, though it isn't anything that a party can't solve. ******** *Frugal* ******** Also known as the tightarse trait, this basically means that your Sims are very careful with their money, and what the money is used for. They do not like wasting anything, especially perfectly good food that isn't spoilt and they spend their weekends sifting through the newspaper and the internet looking for coupons for them to spend at the supermarket or the local book store. --==Benefits==-These guys basically are able to use the internet and the newspaper to cut some coupons out of it, and that allows you to go to the store that the coupon is used for and purchase the specific product at a discounted price, and that leads to a nice moodlet for you to play with, which is always a nice thing, since it is a positive moodlet. --==Disadvantages==-These types of Sims are fanatical about price, so if you purchase a very expensive item, such as that Plasma TV that you have coveting, then they will get a negative moodlet because they don't like seeing such money spent when a smaller TV would have sufficed. They also will get a negative moodlet faster when they throw food away that could have been set away as leftovers.

--==Unique Properties==-These Sims are careful with their money to say the least, so you might get some discounted items, but they will not react well when you spend their hard earned money on items that they want or don't want. Such picky Sims. Also, since the politics career relies on campaign donations, these Sims tend to give a lot less than others. --==Usefulness==-2.5/5 Sure, saving money is good, however, such items that you can get in the book store and the grocery store are open on sale, and in the case of the groceries, most of them can be grown or caught later in the game, which removes the need for you to go to the store in the first place. They are good at saving money, but not good at spending it. Unlike most Governments. ******** *Genius* ******** These Sims are the super smart ones, the nerds, point-dexters, and whatever other name that you have for them, sure, you can beat them up for their lunch money, but they will be able to calculate the angle and force necessary to knock you unconcious with a single throw of their protractor. Anyway, these guys are the masters in chess, so don't take them on unless you know what you are doing. --==Benefits==-These Sims are the best when it comes to logic based skills. They gain logic skill points a lot faster than other Sims, and they are more proficent when it comes to using the telescope to find new planets and stars for money. As a bonus, they are also very good at chess, which is more of a hidden skill now, it does not go up with logic. They are also useful in the Medicine, Science and Law Enforcement careers, where logic is golden. --==Disadvantages==-Despite being beaten up for lunch money at school, and promptly taking down the bullies with a Pi attack, there are no disadvantages. --==Unique Properties==-These guys are smart, so don't play them in chess if you are planning to beat them. They will have a bonus in three careers, which is exceptionally useful, and they will sometimes use the Contemplate action when they have nothing to do, as to ponder the method the universe was created. --==Usefulness==-5/5 If you are planning to move into any of those three career fields, logic is going to be necessary to get you far in those fields, which is a very

important skill to build. Also, they can get some good side money from the telescope, so if those three careers are ones that you want, this is a must. ****** *Good* ****** These guys are akin to the Jedi order, they are the ones that protect society from the world at large, from evil doers planning world domination to the people who throw the cats into the trees. They are friendly and will help their friends and family, and they will donate to charitable causes. They are the other side of the epic battle of good vs evil. Good always wins. Or does it? --==Benefits==-These Sims are quite hard to piss off, they need a lot of badgering (no mushrooms please), to make them quite angry, which is good, and as such, they are quite good at building relationships with other Sims. They are also quite good at comforting another Sim. When another Sim is in a bad mood, they have the option to comfort them, and this gives the other Sim a nice moodlet of being comforted. It is nice to help people. --==Disadvantages==-See, being good means that no harm comes to you. See, that gun did kill you, the bullet did. --==Unique Properties==-These Sims also have the ability to donate to a charity, though the name always seems to be random, they do not have a set name, so you can donate to the Llama society if you want. There are increasing options on how much you wish to donate, but as a general rule, the more you donate, the longer the charitable moodlet will last. They can, however, only donate once a day, since the moodlet often lasts for 24 hours at most. --==Requirements==-CANNOT HAVE THE EVIL TRAIT OR MEAN-SPIRITED TRAIT --==Usefulness==-4.5/5 The reason this is scored so highly is because they can donate money for a moodlet that lasts a whole day, and that means they can power on at work for a much longer period of time, since that moodlet is quite powerful if you donate, say, 1000 Simoleons to their cause. However, unlike the Evil trait, you don't get any career boost, though it should go to Law Enforcement if any. ********************** *Good Sense of Humour* **********************

These Sims are those that like to make others laugh, the David Lettermans and the Jay Lenos of Sim society (I do not want complaints how either one of them are crap, call them and tell them they're crap, I quite frankly don't care). Anyway, these are the joke makers, and as such, they normally have a pretty fun time out with their friends. --==Benefits==-These Sims are quite useful, they will start off with a relationship boost as well and they can tell a large amount of jokes, and the best thing is that they can never fail a joke, their jokes are always a success, and as such, it is a good way to break the ice and start a new conversation with someone who will be your new best friend. --==Disadvantages==-Besides being quite annoying with "why did the chicken cross the road?" jokes, they have no down side. --==Unique Properties==-These guys will respond well to jokes as well as make great jokes that can never fail. If only my comedy would be like that, right now, it is as funny as a dustball flying past. --==Requirements==-CANNOT HAVE THE NO SENSE OF HUMOUR TRAIT. DUH. --==Usefulness==-3.5/5 Sure, it is useful for building a relationship, but other than to serve as an ice breaker in new relationships, it doesn't contribute all that much, though it is interesting to decode exactly what the Sim is trying to say. ************** *Great Kisser* ************** These guys have either been spending far too much time practising on either their cousins, dolls or teddy bears, but their talent is, strangely enough, in kissing others. This means that they give out unforgetable kisses, though I heard a mixture of beer, wine, vodka, rum and whisky does a good job at that. --==Benefits==-These Sims are just great kissers, and as such, when they kiss another Sim, which is more like to happen given that they have a higher rate of success, they will have a stronger relationship boost at the end of the interaction, which is always something good. --==Disadvantages==--

Other than to have some people vomit and Mrs Crumplebottom throwing mince meat from her handbag at them, no disadvantages. --==Unique Properties==-These guys are just good kissers, and that is about all. Sure, they give unforgivable kissers, but a few drinks at the bar, or a few dozen drinks, or a few dozen bottles, do a good job of erasing their memory, and their liver. --==Usefulness==-2.5/5 Sure, they are good at kissing, but the problem is building up the relationship to the point where they are accepted for kissing takes a fair amount of time, and by then, the relationship has to be going strong already, so that defeats the point of this trait somewhat. Great for movies though. Have a Clumsy Sim drop the ring, followed by an unforgettable kiss. I do wonder why I'm not a Hollywood director XD ************* *Green Thumb* ************* These Sims are the gardeners, as you can guess, they love anything related or indirectly involved in gardening. As such, they are good with the plants and they can bring them back to life, even if they have been neglected for a long period of time. --==Benefits==-These Sims have a natural ability to learn the Garden skill better, which is quite useful. Seeing that gardening is a very good source of money and your own food source, saving money, it is quite useful. They also have the ability to revive any dead plants that have died due to neglect straight away, and finally, they have the ability to harvest better harvestables from plants and trees than other Sims without this trait. --==Disadvantages==-Besides the skyrocketing cost of water that doesn't seem to be reflected in your bills, none. --==Unique Properties==-They will automatically start out in the game with a book about gardening for them to read and gain skill in, which is quite useful to give that little boost straight away. They can also gain social in their mood from talking to plants, which is quite interesting. --==Usefulness==-5/5

This is exceptionally useful, you get much better harvestables, which leads to more money when you sell the fruits of your labour, and also, it creates a much more fulfilling meal when you cook with them. Basically, they set themselves up for farming and good food, and that can mean a lot of money. Don't worry, you don't have to worry about the water bill. ******** *Grumpy* ******** These Sims are just that, they are grumpy and antsy little people who get really easily annoyed, and they are never in a good mood, which kind of makes them a stick in the mad. They won't be happy, they don't want to be happy, kind of like Dr. House, just happy being unhappy. --==Benefits==-There are no benefits of being grumpy, other than that Sim being nothing more than an annoying prick towards other Sims. --==Disadvantages==-This is kind of a pain, basically, their mood bars take longer to refill, especially the fun bar, and that means that they need to be exposed to more fun activities for a longer period of time compared to other Sims in order for them to get them in a good mood, which makes it hard for them to get that promotion at work. --==Unique Properties==-They are just grumpy, they take longer to have fun, and that makes it rather annoying for them to get that promotion at work or just generally be nice to others. --==Requirements==-CANNOT HAVE EXCITABLE, GOOD SENSE OF HUMOUR, HOT-HEADED OR NEUROTIC TRAITS --==Usefulness==-0/5 Practical uses for this is next to none, there is no point in being a grumpy old fart because it just creates more work for you to get that promotion or that raise at work when your mood bar can only take the punishment of work for so long. ******* *Handy* ******* These Sims are good with playing with tools, and they are generally good around the house, unlike Frank Barone, who is the complete opposite. They are quite good at tinkering with objects, and when things break, they can repair them without fail or fear of being the target of a zap cannon. These

guys are the master repairers in the game, they will never fail at repairing. --==Benefits==-These guys will be able to gain the Handiness skill a lot faster than that of other Sims, which is quite useful if you consider the amount of time it takes for it to be built up. They also start off with a book about handiness to start off with, so they can build their skills up faster. Finally, they will always succeed in repair and tinkering with objects, they will never fail, and therefore, never get electrocuted. --==Disadvantages==-Besides the fact that electrical discharges do not seem to effect them, ruling out electrocution as a form of death, nothing bad. --==Unique Properties==-Again, they will never fail at repairing or tinkering with an object, which means they will save a lot of money on the repairman. They will also fix an item so that it is less likely to break, compared to as if it was fixed by a normal Sim. --==Usefulness==-4.5/5 Sure, things around the home do get broken, and items like the shower and the toilet get their fair share of use, which is quite problematic if you only have one toilet in the house and it is broken. However, the repair costs aren't that high, and later on in the game, it isn't useful as much. However, their skill at tinkering is useful, considering the unlocks that you can get out of tinkering. ******************** *Hates the Outdoors* ******************** These Sims hate sunlight, so they make ideal vampires, Basically, they do not being outside, so if they need to do the gardening, or just stay outside for a prolonged period of time, they get a real quick negative mood. However, just to make it fair, the trip to work doesn't count as outdoors, they are kind of in a car the whole time. --==Benefits==-Besides being the ideal vampire, there isn't anything else that is a good thing about this trait. --==Disadvantages==-As mentioned in the intro, they hate the sunlight, and as such, if they stay outside for more than 30 minutes, at tops, they will get a negative moodlet where they are plagued by the outdoors. Which is quite annoying, because if they need to do some grocery shopping or some fishing, they will get this moodlet.

--==Unique Properties==-There is nothing unique about hating the outdoors, and if real life was sort if incorporated, these guys would be dead due to a lack of Vitamin D. So make sure all of you kids spend some time outside in the sunlight, you need that Vitamin D to survive. --==Requirements==-CANNOT HAVE LOVE THE OUTDOORS TRAIT --==Usefulness==-0.5/5 This is nothing potato, and pay times.

useless, besides comedic appeal of people hating fresh air, there is interesting about this trait. Sure, this goes well with being a couch but even then you need to take some time outside and use it to collect the bills. Or maybe you just like seeing the Repoman a fair amount of

*************** *Heavy Sleeper* *************** If this was a real life trait, I definitely want it. Anyway, these guys will be able to sleep through everything, from the phone ringing to be B-2 Spirit dropping bombs next to their bed, or a tank demolishing half their house, they will sleep through anything and everything, which is a good and a bad thing. Let me explain why. --==Benefits==-These guys will sleep through anything and everything, and that means that if an appliance such as the stereo or the phone goes off and wakes people up, these Sims will sleep right through it and they will continue to sleep as if nothing as happened. This is quite a nice thing to have, because if you wire your stereo with house speakers, they will go off and wake people up. --==Disadvantages==-However, there is a downside to heavy sleeping, these guys will also sleep through things like burglar alarms. So if a robber decides to comes in and sets the alarm off, these guys will sleep through it like nothing has happened at all, which is quite interesting, and quite annoying because they can't stop a robber in their tracks. Not even a fire can wake them up. Deep sleep. --==Unique Properties==-Basically, they have the ability to sleep through anything and everything, so nothing will wake them up. They will also take their sleep to work, and as such, in careers, they will have the option to sleep at work, though it doesn't do wonders for their job performance. --==Requirements==--

CANNOT HAVE LIGHT SLEEPER TRAIT --==Usefulness==-3.5/5 This is quite useful for most Sims, the ability to sleep through everything is useful, but if you are a brave Sim, it isn't all that useful since you cannot fight of robbers should they decide to start a home invasion. Though if you have a burglar alarm, you don't have to worry too much. Anyway, think if it is good idea or not, remember, the usefulness part is just my opinion on its practical uses. ******************* *Hopeless Romantic* ******************* This is the idealist type of romance seeker, the naive, idealistic type, they are on their quest to find their soulmate, and they will stop at nothing to get it. To them, romance is like a well played romance movie, like the Notebook, and they will take on this pursuit, despite the clarity of reality, which may suggest that this isn't such a good idea, the Notebook was, after all, set in the 1940s-50s. --==Benefits==-These guys, when they are on the receiving end of a romantic interaction, will get more of a boost than other Sims, which is quite useful when they are trying to boost up the relationship between the pair. Also, when they have a romantic interest in the room, someone that are trying the court, using the correct lingo, they will get an environmental boost as well, which is quite useful. --==Disadvantages==-However, being a ever afters, and they will suffer normal Sims, who

hopeless romantic, the romance movies are always happily when they have their heart broken into tiny little pieces, a negative moodlet that is far more powerful than that of move on.

--==Unique Properties==-Basically, they love their romance, and this translate to novel writing. When they write romance novels, they are far more proficent than other Sims, which means that their romance novels will attract far higher royalties rate than that of other Sims. Considering how much those books make a week, this is a sizable sum of money we are talking about. --==Usefulness==-3.5/5 I have nothing against chick flicks, if they are done right, but this is like living in one. These guys and gals live as if it was in a romance novel, so they love the love, and hate the hate. Basically, if you are going to have one

of these guys, just think of the money. Money can buy love, in most cases. Or can it? ************ *Hot-Headed* ************ These guys are quick to anger, and they will quickly fire up and that makes them quite scary. They will fire up over anything, especially breaking items, it really wasn't their fault, and most important, they will get exceptionally pissed off if they get fired from their job. So treat these guys are grenades with short fuses. One, BOOM! --==Benefits==-Besides making fun movies of them blowing up next to other Sims, there aren't any advantages. --==Disadvantages==-They will suffer from far stronger negative moodlets than other Sims if the moodlet is related to them and their, ah, anger-management problems (that was a great movie by the way). If they break something, their negative moodlet is far stronger, and getting fired, well, call the bomb-disposal squad. --==Unique Properties==-Never decide to use negative social interactions with these delicate bombs, if they so much as get on the receiving end of some teasin, watch them explode and start firing back, starting World War 42. Basically, keep these guys around in some bubblewrap, they might need it. --==Usefulness==-1.5/5 It is only interesting as them to keep it alive. These guys are only there in order to keep life interesting. They will blow up over broken items which easily, so the handyman should be on speed-dial, or a handy Sim is there to meet them happy. Still, videos are a good thing though. ************* *Hydrophobic* ************* Keep these guys away from water. As you can guess, hydro means water and the phobic means fear. Basically, do get them near water, they will not like it. They dislike showers and getting wet in sprinklers, but what they will really hate is the pool. They do not like it, and they will not enter it. --==Benefits==-Watching these guys run like crazy when they get wet from the sprinkler. That's about it.

--==Disadvantages==-These guys will hate water with a passion. When in the shower, they are exposed to water, so watch that negative mood build up and explode over someone. When in the pool, watch their hatred slowly build up until they get really annoyed. So yeah, keep them away from water, even if they smell, funny. --==Unique Properties==-They will never get into the pool on their own free will, they will never enter it. They will enter showers, however. They will also hate playing in the bath, they will not stand it, and they will never get the playing with Superduck moodlet either. --==Usefulness==-2/5 Basically, points for exploding, but in reality, it isn't very practical. These guys hate water, and although it isn't a large part of their life, they also hate standing near it, so wet floors around the house are a no no. Keep it nice and dry, and they'll applaud you for it, make it a little wet, and watch them scream. It's a shame that weather wasn't programmed, I'd like to see them singing in the rain. *************** *Inappropriate* *************** These guys have no sense of timing, they will talk about the wrong things at the wrong times. It's like making jokes about dead people when they recently died, not in good taste. Or jokes about deeds that should not be discussed in public, unless drunk. They always like to tease people, and at some stages, mock them, but they always thing it is okay, and as such, never apologise. --==Benefits==-These Sims have no sense of dignity, and as such, they will gladly search through the rubbish of other Sims to find more trash, and sometimes, some goodies that they can take home. Though watch out for the negative moodlet that one gets from searching trash. --==Disadvantages==-These guys, socially, will never admit that they are wrong, and as such, they will not be able to apologise to anyone for anything for their crimes. It wasn't them. They will also get a social interaction to replace that, they will be able to Make Fun Of others, and that is just a source of entertainment for them, nothing else. Though expect relationship to drop a little. --==Unique Properties==-Well, they cannot apologise and they can make fun of others, and that is

about it. Though searching through the trash is fun, and smelly. Most of the items that you get are cheap items that can easily be found in the buy catalog, if you bother to look. --==Requirements==-CANNOT HAVE FRIENDLY TRAIT --==Usefulness==-2.5/5 You can actually make a fair amount of money if you rummage through people's trash, though you constantly need to take showers to get rid of that moodlet that you get when searching through trash. Although it isn't an easy task, so stick with your neighbours. They are weak, however, socially, so if you want to make the world's biggest jackass quickly, this trait is one for you. ******** *Insane* ******** These guys are very unpredictable, you will have absolutely no idea on what the hell they are going to do, and as such, insane. These guys will do anything that suits them, they can wear their swimwear to sleep, or their formal clothing in the pool, what they do is completely random. Even if their actions don't make sense, remember, they are INSANE. --==Benefits==-Well, they aren't scared of ghosts, I would think that the ghosts are more afraid of them. --==Disadvantages==-However, being insane is quite difficult in terms of marriage. No matter at what stage of the relationship you propose at, even if it is the highest possible stage in the relationship, their response is completely random, and as such, you have the same chance at success at the highest level and at the bottom level. Insane indeed. --==Unique Properties==-Like I said, their actions don't need to make sense, like fishing in a swimming pool. That doesn't make sense. They will also sometimes put on the wrong piece of clothing to an occasion, like wearing their PJs to work, or formal clothing into the swimming pool, or their work wear to sleep. It is completely random with these people. And, just to cement the idea that they are insane, they will be able to talk to themselves, gaining social points. --==Usefulness==-3.5/5 There is nothing more fun than being insane, but it does lose points for having a random response to marriage, which is quite annoying. However, it is

just downright funny to see these guys interact with one another, they will do the most crazy of things, and the best part of it is, you don't even need to lift a finger to watch this. ************** *Kleptomaniac* ************** The Benders of the Sim world, they have a perchant of having wandering fingers that always seem to find their way onto someone else's possessions and then ending up in their pocket. They will always seem to accidently place someone else's possession in their pocket, for keeps, from school, work, or just for the hell of it, their neighbour's home. --==Benefits==-What is a bigger benefit than being able to steal things from others. They will be able to nick some stuff from work, school, or their neighbour's home, though it is random in what they steal, you cannot set them to steal a specific item. --==Disadvantages==-When you steal something from someone, that person tends not to like you very much for stealing their items. As such, you suffer a relationship drop from them, and that is well deserved as well. Hey, I don't like people stealing my junk, do you? --==Unique Properties==-When an item is stolen, that item is branded as stolen, and as such, you really don't want that person to see a stolen possession of theirs in your possession, so be careful. They will, however, also have the ability to return the stolen object back to their owners, in return for a moodlet of returning stolen goods. --==Usefulness==-4/5 Hell, stealing is fun, though it isn't in real life, the Sims haven't developed a concept of a prison system yet. You sometimes might be able to steal some good stuff, but the fun only lasts as long as you get away with the crime, get caught in the act, and yeah, it is easy to make some quick enemies. *************** *Light Sleeper* *************** These guys cannot get a good nights worth of sleep, they are constantly tossing and turning in their beds, and even a pin dropping on the floor could wake them up from their sleep, they will not sleep through anything, unlike their heavy sleeper counterparts.

--==Benefits==-Well, on the bright side, when a robber decides to come along and starts to borrow some items from your house, your Sims with super acute hearing can hear the robber opening the door and they will be fully awake for a full on fight with the robber, without fail. --==Disadvantages==-They will, however, wake up from anything, from loud noises, such as children, or when the TV is turned on, or that telephone starts buzzing, or someone has the stereo too loud, they will always wake up, and as such, it is hard for them to attain the Fully Rested moodlet unless everyone else is sleeping. --==Unique Properties==-They will have the ability to research sleep techniques from the internet via the computer, however, it really doesn't help them, they will still remain super sensitive to noises. Shame it doesn't help them, maybe some really thick mufflers? --==Requirements==-CANNOT HAVE THE HEAVY SLEEPER TRAIT --==Usefulness==-1.5/5 This isn't useful if they are going to go to work the next day and they want that promotion because that Fully Rested moodlet is quite powerful and it quite long lasting as well. Basically, these guys are only good for house defence for your burglars, and that is about it, they will not able to sleep through parties, so if you really want that Fully Rested moodlet, keep it quiet. ******* *Loner* ******* These guys are the introverts, they love spending time by themselves rather than enjoy the company of others, which is quite strange, and is getting increasingly common in today's society. Anyway, these guys love activities that only involve themselves, and they get nervous when they are hanging around people that do not trust or hang out in large groups. So yeah, give these guys some room. --==Benefits==-These guys love spending time by themselves, they will always be entertained to the point where they get a moodlet for Solitude, which is quite interesting, you get to have a positive mood by yourself. --==Disadvantages==--

They will get a negative moodlet when they start to hang around people, so building up friends will be a hard task when their mood says that they just don't want to have any friends at the moment. --==Unique Properties==-These guys just cannot have friends, and as such Charisma based jobs are hard for them. I mean, Barack Obama didn't become President if he didn't interact with others. However, if they work on their own, they are quite useful, so these guys make very good painters and novelists. --==Requirements==-CANNOT HAVE THE PARTY ANIMAL TRAIT --==Usefulness==-3.5/5 These are useful, exceptionally useful, in making money from gardening, painting and novel writing, but other than they, they will have a hard time at making money from work. Most work requires interaction with other co-workers, and they are poor at that. However, what is interesting is that they will act like normal Sims if they are with someone who is considered their friend. The hard part is trying to get them friends. ******* *Loser* ******* No, I'm not talking to you, it's a trait. Anyway, Loser Sims are just Sims who are not good at winning. Great Description. Anyway, they will hardly win at games, so in a game of Chess, they might be a grand master, but their loser trait will force them to lose a fair amount of matches for someone who is a grand master. They will fail, and fail they shall. But to them, failure isn't something to get angry over, they'll just have a cry. --==Benefits==-This is funny, they will get a boost in their mood with the Winner moodlet if they actually win a game, say in chess. Sure, most people get a boost, but their boost will be stronger. Again, the problem is actually winning a game. --==Disadvantages==-They will lose, and they will lose quite often, so in video games and in chess games, they will lose most of the time, though this is nothing new and they don't get a negative moodlet. But all those losses has made them rather annoying, they'll just keep complaining about their inabiltiy to win at anything. --==Unique Properties==-These Sims are just interest to watch, they cannot win at anything.

However, it doesn't make them useless, they are quite useful for other Sims to gain a nice Winner moodlet before heading off to work. See, uses, though for other Sims. --==Requirements==-CANNOT HAVE BRAVE OR CHARISMATIC TRAIT --==Usefulness==-2.5/5 These are only good to keep around the house if you plan to make all the other Sims happy by giving them a punching bag of sorts, they call all have the Winner moodlet by defeating this wimp. However, on the rare occasion they do win, imagine what they can do. A lot. Before they sink to the crushing depths of defeat, again. ******************** *Loves the Outdoors* ******************** Unlike their nature hating cousins, these guys love nature with all that they have, and as such, they love spending their time outdoors, so activities that force them to do this, like fishing and gardening will greatly satisfy them. However, this love of the outdoors can take the better of them and force them to spend more time than warranted. --==Benefits==-These Sims love the outdoors, and as such, they will get moodlets, positive ones, for spending time outdoors, which is quite useful. Also, career paths that require them to spend time outside such as the Science, Military and the Athletic career will give them a nice boost, reducing their mood decay. Finally, since they love the outdoors so much, they will get a boost by talking about it to other Sims. --==Disadvantages==-However, since they love the outdoors, they need to spend a lot of time outside, and this needs to be maintained less they get a negative moodlet for their troubles. They need time outside, and if they don't get it, they will suffer as a result. --==Unique Properties==-Basically, they get a career boost in three career ladders, which is quite useful, and this is useful as well for gardeners and the like, seeing as they spend so much time outside. However, they always need to spend some time outside, and if they don't, they will get negative moodlets, just the reverse of the Hates the Outdoors trait. --==Requirements==-CANNOT HAVE HATE THE OUTDOORS TRAIT

--==Usefulness==-4/5 This is exceptionally useful, a boost in three career fields and moodlets for doing the gardening. However, the only reason I deduct marks for this trait is because of maintenance. Sure, they might be a novelist by night, but they will always need to be outdoors for some time or they will get a sour mood, and no one wants that. ******* *Lucky* ******* These Sims are the Sim form of Lady Luck, they are lucky in everything that they do, and as such, it is impossible for them to suffer a bad day. Things from getting a raise or reducing the chance of a robber targeting your house are things that luck embodies. So if you have one of these guys in your household, you can thank your lucky stars. --==Benefits==-Basically, by giving them 4 hours of straight sleep, they will have a chance to obtain the lucky moodlet, which is a positive moodlet that lasts them the entire day, of 24 hours. That means that get a nice little boost to their mood, and as a result, that will get a lower chance of encounter things like fires and robbers. Also, they will have higher chances of getting a successful raise at work. --==Disadvantages==-These guys are all luck, they do not have any bad luck, and as such, they have no disadvantages. --==Unique Properties==-Also as a side bonus, they will also be more likely to win at chess games, regardless of the level and they will also have the chance to win at video games more often than not. --==Requirements==-CANNOT HAVE UNLUCKY TRAIT --==Usefulness==-5/5 This is quite a useful trait, they have just 4 hours sleep, and considering the refill the mood bar, that is quite easy broken objects are always a nice touch, less handyman repairs. ***************

a chance at getting a moodlet for amount of sleep that one needs to to fulfill. Also, less fires and it means a lower damage bill and

*Mean-Spirited* *************** These Sims are just mean, simple as that. They don't like to be nice, and they will go out of their way just to make someone's life hell. They love to have a fight, and they rejoice when they gain a new enemy, which is quite interesting. Anyway, if you want to be nasty, then these are the experts to do it for you. --==Benefits==-These guys will never lose in a fight, and this is quite useful, if you want to make more enemies than anyone else. Though the problem is getting them into a fight in the first place, but look on the bright side, the robbers won't be robbing your place any time soon. Also, it is an interesting system of moods that they have, the more enemies that they have, the happier their mood. Guess friends aren't their strong suit. --==Disadvantages==-These Sims are mean, and as such, they will automatically use negative and mean social interactions automatically. If you want to rein them in, you need to keep a very close eye on what they are doing. They make enemies as much as I make guides. --==Unique Properties==-They will always win a fight, they will not lose, and as such, they make great home defenders, provided that they have the brave trait. They will also be quite useful in making some nice drama, make the town alive. --==Requirements==-CANNOT HAVE FRIENDLY TRAIT --==Usefulness==-2.5/5 It doesn't pay to be an asshat all the time, but it does save your possessions from being stolen from you, which is always a bonus. However, the problem is the amount of friends that you will not possess, you will have a hell of a lot of enemies, and that limits the type of careers that you can move into. Painting and writing are suggested jobs, considering that they don't need to be friendly to anyone. ******* *Mooch* ******* These guys love getting their hands on as much as they can without trying to fork out a single cent. They will love to mooch food and, more importantly, Simoleons, from their neighbours, and that makes them quite the source of unwanted hatred. Their neighbours will go along with their mooching at first, but even they have their limits, unlike Flanders towards Homer in the Simpsons.

--==Benefits==-These guys love to mooch, they love to scab, as it were. As such, they will often head to other homes, and they will tend to end up with some free food and as many Simoleons that they can lay claim to. This is quite useful, free food is welcome under any circumstances, and free money, who doesn't want free money. --==Disadvantages==-Well, they don't like moochers, as in your neighbours, and as such, they will get some unwanted negative attention from your neighbours, and if you are trying to make friends, this won't be a good trait. Most people are okay with it, like Wilson is to House, but some aren't. --==Unique Properties==-These guys have the option to go into someone's home and use their kitchen as a source of snacks. Quite useful for the hungry Sim who is out of the essential foodstuffs and the ones who are too cheap to pay. They also have the option to mooch of other Sims in social conversations. --==Usefulness==-4/5 This is quite useful, stealing, or rather, mooching money and food from other Sims who seem to go quite nicely, and they don't seem to have a care in the world. However, do keep in mind that they don't tend to mooch a lot of high value items, they get cheap food and some Simoleons, but not enough as a source of income. Just make sure that you keep up the relations with the neighbours, don't want new enemies out of them. ************** *Natural Cook* ************** These guys are the natural Iron Chefs of the world, they are natural cooks so they excel in, the obvious, cooking. These guys love cooking, with a passion, and they will be able to improve on their cooking, so their food is delicious, compared to other Sims. If you are looking for a hearty 5 course meal, look no further. --==Benefits==-These guys are cooks, and by stating the obvious, they learn the cooking skill a lot faster than that of other Sims, and given that learning how to cook is time consuming, learning on the fly is quite useful. They will never ever burn their food either, their dishes are always perfect, which is useful for that moodlet. And because they cannot fail their dish, they cannot start fires in the kitchen. --==Disadvantages==-There are no disadvantages of being a natural cook, besides the usual cuts

of your fingers. --==Unique Properties==-These guys start off with a cooking book automatically, which is quite useful for boost the first few levels and getting some more recipes for their arsenal. They will also be able to learn new recipes, provided that they can be learnt given their skill level just by visiting other lots and trying new food. Useful. --==Usefulness==-5/5 This is useful for so many reasons. They can learn recipes just by eating them and this is useful given the cost of the recipe books. The most important thing is that they can create perfect dishes. This is useful given that there are moodlets, positive, powerful moodlets for perfect dishes, or a lovely meal. ****** *Neat* ****** The neat freaks, these Sims love to have everything clean and dust free, and this means a lot of toilet cleaning. They will always have the time to clean the house, regardless of their current mood. They will always clean up after themselves, and they love that, but they get very annoyed when they are in an environment that is absolutely filthy. --==Benefits==-These Sims will clean up after themselves, so when will always take their dishes and wash them in the When they clean objects, their clean will last for that it will take more uses of that item before it

they finish a meal, they sink or the dishwasher. much longer, and that means requires cleaning.

--==Disadvantages==-These Sims will love things neat, so they will get a far more potent negative moodlet when they are in surroundings that are not up to their standard. They will also get negative moodlets from other Sims when they have a low hygiene bar, which means the gym is a pretty much no-go. --==Unique Properties==-These Neat Sims have one unique property, they will be able to use the Clean House social interaction, and basically this interaction allows them to move around the house and clean every single thing that can possibly be cleaned, which means all the cleaning, bed making, etc in a single swoop. --==Requirements==-CANNOT HAVE SLOB TRAIT --==Usefulness==--

3.5/5 Don't get me wrong, these are useful, they can easily replace the maid, and that is a 125 Simoleon hole buster in a single go. However, there it no longer a Cleaning skil, therefore, it is not as useful as it could possibly be. Though saving money is a nice touch, the negative moodlet is not. ********** *Neurotic* ********** These Sims are the paranoid. They can take the smallest issue and snowball it into something that is bigger than Mount Everest. They also tend to worry a hell of a lot, more than necessary, and as such, they don't tend to calm down very often, making them exceptionally tense. However, they do seem to find a lot of comfort in expressing their worries to other Sims. If there were psychologists in this game, they'd be making a killing of these Sims. --==Benefits==-These Sims have one of the most interesting self interactions, they will be able to do the Freak Out interaction. By scaring the crap out of any nearby Sims, they will give a powerful mood boost to themselves, which is always useful before your Sims move off to work. --==Disadvantages==-These Sims take a lot longer to recover their mood, and as such, fun will suffer and take a lot longer to recover than before. They will also automatically freak out after an accident, such as burning their food or breaking an object. This isn't very useful, given that it scares the crap out of nearby Sims. --==Unique Properties==-Basically, their unique property is freaking out. It will basically scare the crap out of nearby Sims, and with good reason. It is a short process of scaring people, and after that, they get a new moodlet, the Tranquil moodlet. --==Usefulness==-3/5 Sure, it is useful to freak out all the time, but the problem with this trait is that it will scare other Sims, and if those Sims are under your control, you suffer a lowered mood as a result. This isn't all that useful. ************ *Never Nude* ************ Basically, this is insecurity about their own body, they will never do

anything that exposes their flesh to the light of day, or the darkness of night. They will never completely remove all their clothing, and this extends to the bathroom. --==Benefits==-No benefits, except that you won't need to see that jumbled amount of pixels that comes along with Sim nudity. --==Disadvantages==-Well, no disadvantages either. --==Unique Properties==-The only thing that this trait does it that it will force them to never be nude, and as a result, they will go into the bath and into the shower with their swimwear on. --==Usefulness==-0/5 There isn't any practical use for this, not even a video use for it. As such, it will be one of the only traits that will get a complete ZERO from me. ******************** *No Sense of Humour* ******************** These people are just no fun, they have no concept of comedy. As such, they will attempt to tell jokes, but their jokes will always be flat, it just isn't funny. So, as a result, they don't tell them. And they also will not accept other people's jokes, mainly because they are more often than not, more funny than their own. --==Benefits==-Well, besides being the stiff, so to speak, they are completely humourless. Seriously, imagine a world without laughter. So boring. --==Disadvantages==-Since these people do not like jokes in the slightest, they will gain little in terms of relationship if they are on the receiving end of a joke delivered by another Sim. This isn't all that fun. --==Unique Properties==-Well, they don't react to jokes, there isn't much else to say. They are, simply put, boring Sims. Not funny at all. --==Requirements==-CANNOT HAVE THE GOOD SENSE OF HUMOUR OR SCHMOOZER TRAIT

--==Usefulness==-0/5 Again, this is more or less a useless trait, they don't have any fun, and that really irks me for some reason. Anyway, there is no real use for this trait, so don't bother too much about it. **************** *Over-Emotional* **************** These Sims are basically bipolar, they suffer from extreme mood swings at the best of times. When something happens that they should be happy about, they are over-excited. When they at the receiving end of a bad event, like losing a loved one, they will sink to rock bottom lows. So either way, there is no moderation, just the extremes and absolutes. --==Benefits==-When they receive a moodlet that is positive, they will get a larger mood boost from the moodlet compared to other Sims, which is exceptionally handy when you come to think about it. --==Disadvantages==-There are the ups, and there are the downs. When they get a negative moodlet, they will have a more potent moodlet. That means, they will get a larger negative mood drop compared to other Sims. What comes up, must come down. --==Unique Properties==-Basically, it is that, they have extreme reactions to everything, so the good moodlets are more, well, good, and the negative moodlets are far more negative. This is both a good and a bad thing, so this trait is effectively a dual-edged sword. --==Usefulness==-3.5/5 This is a powerful trait,however, it all depends on how you use it. If you are good at keeping your Sims rather happy, then you will be able to make the best use possible out of this trait, however, the slightest negative moodlet can ruin your Sim's mood altogether. Just make sure that you can play with the balancing act, otherwise, this could get nasty. ************** *Party Animal* ************** These are the centre of attention, they want all the attention that they can get. These guys love to party, and that is all they will do, party. As a

result, if any of these guys are ever at a party, you can ensure that it will be a party that you will want to remember for the rest of your life. And now we are thinking of possible candidates, aren't we? --==Benefits==-These Sims will attend a party regardless of whoever invited them, whether they have a good relationship or not. So you can count of them to turn up to your party. When they turn up, they are more likely than other Sims to turn up with a gift, most commonly a plate of food for your consumption. --==Disadvantages==-Well, despite the fact that they don't seem to need any sleep whatsoever, there are no disadvantages. --==Unique Properties==-This is a fun trait to have at parties, if they are able to, they will use the Whoo interaction, and if it turns out to be successful, they will get two positive moodlets for their troubles, the Life of the Party and the Awesome Party moodlet. This is a nice boost after a long hard day at work. --==Usefulness==-2.5/5 You may think that it is a rather low rating for a trait that gives access to two massive moodlets, but in reality, you also need a use for those moodlets. It is impractical to have a party before work, and as such, there is nothing that you can use the mood boost for. So, sure, it is useful for the mood boost, but it isn't useful since there is no use for it. *************** *Perfectionist* *************** These guys are perfectionists, they need everything to be perfect. As such, they will take a much longer period of time cooking, or writing, or even painting, the sole reason being that they want it to be perfect, and as such, the resulting product is far better than that done by normal Sims. They trade time for quality. These guys want nothing but perfection, and as such, they will be annoyed if it does not go their way. --==Benefits==-As a result of their nature, they are more likely to present a higher quality of painting, and better selling novel, a more tasty dish and in the case of teenagers and children, homework that is well done. --==Disadvantages==-However, because they every piece of celery much longer period of making a high quality

need everything to be perfect, every i to be dotted, to be cut to exactly the same size, they will take a time to do those tasks. That is, however, if they are meal or doing their homework to perfection.

--==Unique Properties==-Well, as a quirk, they will always decide that their bed needs to be made after they wake up, which is something that was lacking from the Sims 2, they automatically did that. And it is a source of income for your maid. This goes well with the Neat trait. --==Usefulness==-4.5/5 This is exceptionally useful for those who are planning to make Sims live off the earnings done by paintings and novels, because if they are of a higher quality, they will earn more money, simple as that. However, the problem is that the will take more time, so if you really need that cash injection for the bills that are due in a few hours, it might be a problem. *********** *Schmoozer* *********** These guys are the suck ups, they will willingly suck up to their bosses in order to get that promotion that they are looking for. They will kiss ass if it goes them somewhere, either with their co-workers as well as their bosses, which make them ideal in the work place, provided that they need to stroke some egos. They are also good at flattery, as it if was a second calling. --==Benefits==-When these guys compliment someone, it will always be accepted, no matter what point in the relationship that they are in, and this will always help improve a relationship, either starting or old friends. They will also be able to flatter their bosses and co-workers, and that improves their relations with them if you use the right work tone. This is quite important, because a lot of careers require good relations with the boss or your co-workers. --==Disadvantages==-Besides being intolerable because they are nothing but yes men, nothing else. --==Unique Properties==-Like I said, their compliments will always be accepted, and they are much better at using the social tones at work, which is a quick way of making fast friends. They will also have the Chat social interaction replaced with the Schmooze option. --==Usefulness==-3/5 This might be useful, but schmoozing isn't that useful over, it doesn't improve relations all that much, and pretty much is only useful in Charisma based careers, such as the Politics career. Other than that, this is more or

less useless. It doesn't stop you from using this trait, however. ****** *Slob* ****** A Slob is basically someone who is loves to make as much mess as they possibly can. And as such, they are the bane of the neat Sims, those who have to clean up after their wake. Of course, this makes the entire house dirty, and that is quite annoying, though it is nothing a maid cannot fix. And just to put the cream on the cake, they will not clean up after themselves. --==Benefits==-Well, normal Sims are affected badly with rotten food, unclean plates and all that lying around, with these Sims, they don't seem to care about it all that much, so they don't suffer from those negative moodlets. Also, since they are bone lazy, they can easy burnt or rotten food without the effects that come with them, which is interesting. Stomach with high power stomach acid? --==Disadvantages==-Well, anything that these Sims touch will be getting dirty far faster than before. If they use a shower, it is a guarantee that you will have to clean it before long. If they use a toilet, God knows what they do in the toilet, because you'll need to clean that as well. Bad aim? --==Unique Properties==-Well, if it is any consolation, they will be able to clean their dishes the easy way, they will be able to lick them clean. I'm not so sure that the other people in the household are very supporting of eating from plates that have been licked clean. --==Requirements==-CANNOT HAVE NEAT TRAIT --==Usefulness==-2/5 This isn't as useful, but it makes for great angry videos. The only good thing is not being able to suffer from those negative moodlets, and being able to eat whatever food comes their way, even if they've seen better days. This is the good, but I'm sure that the cleaning job isn't as much fun. Seriously, the amount of cleaing up is massive. ****** *Snob* ****** Well, this is different from a slob, you aren't dirty. However, these guys are the worst of the worst. They are very annoying, and you need to try very hard to impress them, though they love a compliment, because that makes them

the best of the best. Guess they don't know what flattery is. Anyway, they think they are the best of the best, and as such, they will only accept the best of the best, that is, they will only want the best items, the best everything. --==Benefits==-These guys will always accept a compliment, they will never resist an opportunity to show off how good they are. They will also love looking at themselves at the mirror, and always love to be surrounded by expensive objects, even if they serve no real practical use. --==Disadvantages==-The only real disadvantage is that in social conversations, they are quite hard to make friends of, mainly because they are hard to impress. You can only use compliments so far until they start to get real tiring and just becomes ineffective. --==Unique Properties==-Well, they always accept compliments and love expensive stuff, what is more to like? They will constantly have lifetime wishes of purchasing items that shows off how good they are, mirrors and expensive items are always on the list. They also will have good wishes on high paying jobs, so look at the business career if you want. --==Usefulness==-2.5/5 Sure, compliments make it easy to build a relationship, however, you can only keep them happy with expensive items, and soon, that money dries up, faster if it happens to be a rainy day. Well, if you want these guys, make sure you have the money, otherwise, these guys are a royal pain in the ass. ************* *Technophobe* ************* These are the Leroy Jethro Gibbs of the Sims world, they because they are too complicated to operate, and wish it telegrams and record players. They will not use any form entertainment, and they'll stick with the tried and true a good book.

hate technology were all back to of electronic methods, like reading

--==Benefits==-There are no benefits of being scared of technology. The pixels on that screen, they move! What black magic is this? --==Disadvantages==-Well, whenever they see electronic items, they do not have a good time with them. That means that they will have a bad reaction with the television, the computer and the stereo. Those items will give them a negative mood, and it

won't improve their fun. Shame, those are the fastest ways to have fun. --==Unique Properties==-These guys do not like them, but it doesn't mean that they will not use them. But remember, they are more likely to beat the crap out of a keyboard because it will not do what it is meant to do. Alt? What kind of crap is this? Anyway, they will have a harder time building up that writing skill, since it can only be gained by computers, and they will take even longer in order to repair them. --==Usefulness==-1.5/5 Besides the fact that that they will take a they are trying to be is nothing good about

it is funny, there is nothing good because it means longer period of time to build up writing and if a novelist, that will be real pain. Note that there this trait, nothing good. Everything bad though.

********** *Unflirty* ********** These guys don't like to have a fling here and there, which isn't much fun. They do not care for romantic advances, and because of that, it makes them quite hard to romance and get into their pants, so to speak. They are hard to develop a romantic relationship out of, which is quite frustrating, but the fun is always in the chase, right? Cheese eating surrender monkeys make it no fun at all. --==Benefits==-There are no benefits, except to heighten the chase a lot more than before, which is fun. --==Disadvantages==-These guys do not like romantic social interactions, and as such, they will react poorly when they are on the receiving end of social interactions. They will not like to be kissed, flirted up, dirty jokes, and the like, and they are less likely to dish them out as well. --==Unique Properties==-What is unique is that they have a lot less romantic social interactions that they can play with, and this can be a problem for them if they are trying to woo someone, and well, maybe they are destined to remained single for life. It is hard to find Mr or Mrs Right when you are being constantly rejected. --==Requirements==-CANNOT HAVE FLIRTY TRAIT --==Usefulness==--

1.5/5 Basically, they are no fun, but the points come from being hard to woo, and that makes it fun. Everyone loves to be in a competition and wants to be the winner, and what better prize for the victor than the heart of their lover? Well, is there one? I'm not entirely sure, to be honest. ********* *Unlucky* ********* Well, these guys are always down on their luck, which is a real shame. Things will never go right for them, and as such, they will suck at games, which is sort of the same as the loser trait, though these guys have the advantage of blaming luck, rather than themselves. Well, if they are always down on their luck, things can only look up, right? --==Benefits==-Well, since these guys haven't exactly had a good run through life, they are more prone to accidents, and if they die from it, even the Grim Reaper feels sorry for them and brings them back to life, free of charge. --==Disadvantages==-Well, instead of lucky Sims getting a positive moodlet, these guys will get an unlucky moodlet after four hours of sleep sometimes, so you will really need to watch their sleep. This will increase the chances of something bad will happen, like a robber coming in, a fire breaking out or an appliance that they are using to explode and break down. Even simple things like winning a chess or video game and cooking food gets effected. How can you screw up a skill? --==Unique Properties==-Well, they are just unlucky and down on their luck. It isn't their fault that lady luck didn't decide to favour them. Basically, every thing that touch turns into crap, don't let them cook, or it will start a fire, don't let them wash the dishes, it might kill the sink. It is a shame to be around bad luck. --==Requirements==-CANNOT HAVE LUCKY TRAIT --==Usefulness==-1/5 The only points are for comedic appeal, and that is all. Even I have to take pity on those who are just down on their luck. In this game, however, things cannot turn out for the better, so if they are unlucky at the start of their life, they will die unlucky as their casket breaks as it is lowered into the funeral plot.

************ *Vegetarian* ************ These are the people who love their rabbit food, they will refuse to eat anything that has meat in it, and as such, they will have a lot of vegetarian alternatives for their food. And to top it off, if they eat meat, they will get violently ill and projectile vomit. That doesn't sound fun. --==Benefits==-The only benefit is that being a vegetarian will help you love longer, but hey, if you want to love longer without experiencing some truly wonderful flavour, then go ahead and be my guest. --==Disadvantages==-They will react badly when they eat meat, they will get ill, and as a result, they will earn the Nauseous moodlet, which isn't one that you will want to have your Sim carrying around. Well, there is always Tofurkey. If anyone wants, look up the Everybody Loves Raymond clip of that. Always gives me a laugh. --==Unique Properties==-Basically, without meat in their food, they will have a lot of substitutes for their food, and this means that a lot of meat dishes have a vegetarian kick to it. Spaghetti will now contain a vegetarian sauce instead of the lovely minced meat. The hot dogs will be replaced, there are no longer the sausages, but tofu in it's place. --==Usefulness==-2.5/5 For the ultra health-conscious, this is for you. Sure, you'd live longer but I'd rather take a few years off my life span to ensure my diet doesn't revolve around the world of suppliments. Anyway, it is a nice touch, to keep everyone happy. Though seriously, people don't get violently ill when they, all of a sudden, touch the savoury goodness of meat. I feel like a burger right now. ********** *Virtuoso* ********** The Beethovens and the Mozarts of the world, these guys are the Gods and the Goddesses of music. They will make the best musicians, and as such, they excel in it. Do not try to outplay them on the guitar, for they will outdo you. If there is one thing that irks me, it is the lack of instruments. Seriously, the guitar? Classical music never involves the guitar as the main, it is all about the Piano. --==Benefits==-These guys will naturally excel in the music career, which is a given. They

will also learn the guitar skill faster than other normal Sims, which is another given bonus. That means that their career is going to revolve around music, which is another given. --==Disadvantages==-There are no disadvantages, besides, how can free ear muffs be a disadvantage? --==Unique Properties==-These guys will always start off with a book that will teach them guitar in their inventory, which is a nice touch. They will also have the habit, like many other people in the real world, to sing in the shower, though how good the voice is remains to be said. --==Usefulness==-5/5 Only useful if you if you think about the park and busk. that you love, and

are planning to head into the music career path, however, it, it is a great way to make money, since you can go to Sure, it might not earn a lot, but it is doing something at the end of the day, that is the most important thing.

************ *Workaholic* ************ Look on the bright side, at least you aren't drunk. Anyway, these guys are people who don't stop working, and when there is a lot of work, they don't buckle under pressure. They love to work, they will have a lower mood when they are not at work, which is the opposite of a lot of people. They can even work from home, making them good employees, and bad family members. --==Benefits==-These guys will be more likely to get a raise in their career, which is a nice bonus. And that means a lot more money. They will also get a moodlet about liking work when they are at work, which is another added bonus, and means that they can grind extra hard and get that promotion that they were looking for. In children and teens, they will love fun doing their homework, a trait which is not shared with any real children. Seriously, loving their homework? --==Disadvantages==-They will suffer if they miss work, they will get the Missing Work moodlet. Seriously, I would have thought that that would be a cause for celebration than anything else, but hey, what floats their boat. --==Unique Properties==-They can always check in on how work is going with their phones, which is rather sad. It is not like they are missing anything. They will also be able to work at home, they will use the computer to work at home, which will give a boost in job performance. Well, they do want that raise.

--==Usefulness==-5/5 Sure, this means that they have no life whatsoever, but they do make good employees, and as such, they will get that promotion before anyone else can say peek-a-boo. Well, if you want the promotion, you can use this trait, but for those who want their Sims to sort of have a life, steer clear. *~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~* [2.04] Secret Traits There are several secret traits obtained via breeding. Well, if that are hidden, that a Sim can parents who can influence this, other way, except modding.

that one can get, and these can only be you want it put nicely, there are traits, get from their parents, but it is their other Sims cannot acquire these traits any

--==Pyromaniac==-Obtained by being the child of a Firefighter This trait allows your Sim to set fire to anything that they want, which is interesting, fire for all! They will also be able to set fire to fruit, creating the flame fruit, which they will like to eat. --==Immunity to Fire==-Obtained by being the child of a Firefighter Again, a firefighter trait, these guys make the ideal firefighters because they cannot be burnt to death, much like the Daredevil trait. Though this one is genetic. --==Spotless==-Obtained by being the child of a Maid These people will always clean up after themselves, they will not make any mess, and if there is mess around the house, they will clean it up. This is like the Neat Trait. --==Sneak==-Obtained by being the child of a Burglar This allows the Sim to have the interaction to sneak wherever they want, as they are now privy to the secret ways to sneak around the neighbourhood, just like their parents. --==Burglar Apprehension==--

Obtained by being the child of a Police Officer (or Sim in Law Enforcement) These Sims will be able to take on burglars and fight them to protect their family and their possessions without the need to wait for backup. Whether they win the fight or not is a different story. This is like the Brave trait. --==Salute==-Obtained by being the child of a Sim in the Military These Sims will have the option to salute other people, as if they were in the military, which they do not have to. This is also unlocked to normal Sims who are in the Military Career, though this action permanently stays, unlike that for normal Sims. --==Rocker==-Obtained by being the child of a Sim in the Music Career These guys will have a natural affinity for music, they will be more likely to succeed in the music career than that of any other Sim, which is interesting as well, sort of like the Virtuoso trait. --==Pizza Appreciator==-Obtained by being the child of a Pizza Delivery Guy These guys will love their pizza, and when they are eating their pizza, they will get a positive moodlet associated with eating it. So eating pizza is m more entertaining and fulfilling for them. *~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~* [3.01] Your Mood The Sims 3 is different to both the Sims 1 and 2, in that two of the previous 8 mood bars have been removed, comfort and environment. Only Hunger, Energy, Bladder, Hygiene, Social and Fun remain. These are the needs bar, these will always need to be fulfilled if you want your Sims to be happy, and productive. If one of these go to critical stages, your Sims will not be too happy and they will refuse to do some activities, which will be witnessed when you try to make them do some interactions. Out of these, if hunger goes to zero, your Sim will die of starvation. The rest, well, they will seek activities that will recoup their lost needs, but that is about it. Hunger is basically refilled through food. Have a kitchen and have them cook a meal. Normally, a cooked meal will completely fill the hunger bar, whilst a snack, which is free, will refill about half the bar, at most. Energy is basically how refreshed your Sim is, and this is done with them having a good night's sleep in their comfy bed or a quick nap on the couch. If this zeroes out, the Sim will collapse and sleep where they land.

Social is basically how much well, social interaction they have had. This is achieved by talking and interacting with other Sims, though some traits have variation of this. Group activities and chatting online will also fill this need. Fun is basically the amount of fun your Sim has had, and basically, this will determine a lot of their mood. This can be replenished through fun activities, like painting or just watching TV. Bladder is, well, the amount of matter that your Sim needs to expel from your body. Of course, this is done using the proper tools, which is, a toilet, and if it is zeroed out, they will basically take a pee on the floor, where they stand. Finally, there is hygiene, and this is basically how clean your Sim is. The lower the, the less clean they are, and at the low point, they will get that green stench cloud. To refill this bar, give them a shower or a nice bath. That about covers the moods, but there are new things called moodlets. Basically, these contribute to your overall mood, because 6 complete needs bars won't get you an excellent mood, moodlets do. More in the next section. *~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~* [3.02] Positive Moodlets Moodlets are basically positive and negative influences on your Sims mood. Sure, they may be happy if they are not hungry, but if they just ate a great delicious meal, then they will be in a happier mood. But if they can smell their own stench, then they aren't going to be happy about it. As such, moodlets are temporary boosts or reductions in a Sims mood, the size and the duration of the boost will vary. This section will deal with positive moodlets, those that are going to have a positive effect on your mood, but they are really just listed green in the little moodlet box, which you can find next to the mood bar, if you bother to look, just use your manual for some added help. Below, I will list all the possible positive moodlets, and where you can use them. This is the template that I will be using and an explaination, so you can semi-understand.

On Fire -200 to Mood 1 Hours Well, they are on fire, what else is there to say?

*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~* [3.04] Neutral Moodlets These are neutral moodlets, they do not effect the mood of your Sims, but they are warning indicators. These will say that something is going to go wrong unless you decide to change it. Basically, neutral moodlets are indicators. It is your choice whether you want to put an end to their suffering.

Just to make sure. *~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~* [4.01] What are Wishes? "Starlight, starlight, first star I see tonight, I wish I may, I wish I might, I wish I may have this wish tonight." This is, in essence, the new point system. For all the players of the Sims 2, this replaces the Aspiration System. Basically, a wish is something that a Sim, well desires, a wish, as it were. Once a wish has been fulfilled, they get a nice little moodlet for a few hours, which is always a nice bonus. Now, there is another reason that you should complete the wishes of your Sims, because by doing so, you will gain Lifetime Happiness points, the new aspiration points. The more points you get, the more rewards you can choose, in this case, they are perks. You will get access to perks that remove the need to ues the toilet, or a perk that gives you a teleportation machine. By slowly building them up, you will get access to it, eventually. Now, the wishes are seperated into Lifetime Wishes and a normal Wish. The Lifetime Wish is the single wish that your Sim wants to complete in their lifetime, and they will only have a single one, so once you complete it, it is the end of that. The Lifetime wish that you will get is based on your traits, for example, Natural Cook will lead to more culinary inclined wishes, while Gardening will lead to more gardening traits, etc. The other type of wishes are your normal wishes. These are your everyday

wishes. However, this is different. You will have 4 slots that allow you to "lock in" those wishes that you can select through the selection. These contribute rather little to happiness points, compared to the big bounty from the large lifetime wishes, but they add up. Anyway, more on that in their respective sections, this was for the small overview, now, for the indepth. It is how I approach this guide, it is a big guide encompassing a lot of indepth guides. *~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~* [4.02] Lifetime Wishes Lifetime Wishes don't offer anything special besides the large amount of Lifetime Happiness points that they offer. You can only complete one lifetime wish per Sim, throughout their lifetime, so once it is done, it is done. The reward of the Lifetime Wish varies, though the range of points is within the barrier of 25,000 to 35,000 Lifetime Happiness points. I'll just list down the lifetime wish and how you will be able to complete the wish. --==Become an Astronaut==-This isn't all that hard, just reach Level 10 in the Military, and be an Astronaut --==Become a Celebrated Five-Star Chef==-As you can already guess, you need to reach Level 10 in the Culinary career path. --==Become a Creature-Robot Cross Breeder==-Essentially reach Level 9 in the Science career. --==Become a Forensic Specialist: Dynamic DNA Profiler==-For this, you need to reach Level 10 in the Law Enforcement Career and choose the Forensic branch when you get the choice. --==Become a Grand Master in Chess==-For this, you need to have the rank of Chess Legend, which requires you to beat other chess players to attain this rank and also master the Logic Skill to level 10. --==Become an Illustrious Author==-You need to master, that is, reach level 10, in both the Writing and the Painting skills. --==Become an International Super Spy==--

Well, what is the point of fulfilling these wishes without a reward? They will give you Lifetime Happiness points, and these will start building up, and when you get to larger levels, you can spend them on some perks and items, which are exceptionally useful. Below is the list of all available rewards and perks that you can purchase, their cost, and what they do. Complimentary Entertainment Cost - 5000 Points This is for going to a theatre, you will be able to catch a flick without needing to pay for it, and this isn't too bad, after all, it does give a long lasting moodlet. Discount Diner Cost - 5000 Points When you go to a restaurant, you will have the opportunity to obtain a free meal, which is always a good thing, better than paying for it. And cooking does get expensive. Fast Metabolism Cost - 5000 Points This will allow you to burn more body fat when they are working out compared to other Sims, that is, you will burn more body fat exercising compared to a Sim who has been exercising for the same time. Observant Cost - 5000 Points This is used in social conversations, when, over the course of a conversation, you will be able to detect and figure out all the traits of the Sim you are conversing. Office Hero Cost - 5000 Points This makes you more popular when your co-workers, and that means that you will be able to build up a relationship with your co-workers faster then you hang out with them at work. Professional Slacker Cost - 5000 Points When you take the option of taking it easy at work, you will not lose job performance for it, and you gain fun at the same time, what more could you ask for? Speedy Cleaner

Cost - 5000 Points Well, as you can guess, this allows your Sim to clean everything and everything faster, such as toilets, showers and dishes. Useful if you have a large household. Attractive Cost - 10000 Points Well, this makes other Sims who have appropriate preferences, that is, compatable with you, to start off with a higher relationship than before. Good to build up a romantic relationship. Bookshop Bargainer Cost - 10000 Points This effectively gets you much cheaper books at the Bookshop compared to other Sims. This is quite useful, considering that recipes are learnt here and they cost a fair bundle, as well as new music compositions and fishing stuff. Change Lifetime Wish Cost - 10000 Points Well, this is simple, you get to change your Lifetime Wish, which is rather useful if you don't like the one you have been given. Fertility Treatment Cost - 10000 Points This allows you to have an increased chance of conceiving children and from that point, it will increase the odds of having twins or even triplets. Sorry, no octuplets in this game. Yet. Multi-Tasker Cost - 10000 Points This is only effective in the workplace or in school, this will allow you to gain job performance at work faster, whilst at school, it will allow you to do your homework faster than before, which is a necessary chore. Opportunistic Cost - 10000 Points This is used for opportunities, this will double reward from all opportunities in the game, which I'll list laster, and there are a hell of a lot of them. Steel Bladder Cost - 10000 Points

Your bladder will never decay, it will always be full, so you do not have to worry about your Sim rushing to the toilet half the time, that need has been removed, for a small fee. Dirt Defiant Cost - 15000 Points This is sort of like the Steel Bladder trait, instead, you will now no longer need to worry about the Hygiene Bar, the need to maintain that trait is now removed. Whoosh! Fast Learner Cost - 15000 Points Like the name suggests, this will allow you to learn your skills faster than before, which is exceptionally useful in the beginning to start off your skill sets, for the quick advance in the job ladder. Haggler Cost - 15000 Points This will give you a discount at the shops, a permanent discount, and if you head to the stores often, this could lead to a bit of money we are talking about. Never Dull Cost - 15000 Points When you talk to other Sims, they will never ever find your Sim boring, which is useful in preventing a nasty moodlet from turning up of being bored to death. Vacationer Cost - 15000 Points When you miss work, having this perk will reduce the amount of job performance that is lost because you have missed a day off work or just decided to slack off. Note that there are no more vacation days in this game. Long Distance Friend Cost - 20000 Points When you have very good old friends, you will never experience relationship decay with them, they are a friend for life, which is very handy when you are in Charisma based skills. Mid-Life Crisis Cost - 20000 Points This perk will allow you to repick and choose all the traits all over again,

which is useful if you managed to stuff up trait selection. Super-Green Thumb Cost - 20000 Points This is only used on your harvestables, when you harvest your produce, you will get a higher quality, one grade higher than the plant that it is planted from. So you get to Perfect much faster. Hardly Hungry Cost - 25000 Points Well, with this trait, you get hungry less often, so your hunger bar will decay much slower than before, the decay is about 50% of what it used to be, though I suspect that it may be less. Acclaimed Author Cost - 30000 Points This is interesting, it will increase the size of your royalty checks from your writing, which means that per week, on the Sunday, you will be able to get more money for the same amount of work. Body Sculptor Cost - 30000 Points This is a wish that will allow you to change your body shape, which, in my opinion, is quite useless, but hey, they are your virtual points to waste, not mine. Extra Creative Cost - 30000 Points This applies to your paintings, this is like the Acclaimed Author perk, but instead of getting larger royalty checks, your paintings will be selling for more money, which is always a good thing. More money is always good. Collection Helper Cost - 40000 Points This is a little tool that you get in your inventory, and it allows you to toggle it on and off, and is designed to highlight the location of all collectables. If you want gems, you can select gems, and on the neighbourhood screen, they will appear as thumbnails, whilst on screen, they shine with a bright light. Food Replicator Cost - 50000 Points This is a machine that will copy a dish that you give it. So if you give the

machine a Perfect Meal, it will copy the meal as many times as you want, which is very, very useful, saves you the cooking, and the ingredients that it will cost you. Mood Modifier Cost - 60000 Points This is another interesting machine, when you have your negative moodlets, such as being scared or such, and you need to wait for time to get rid of them, using this machine will be able to get rid of them. It will be able to get rid of the moodlets, most of the time. Teleportation Pad Cost - 75000 Points This is a one way machine, it will allow you to move from place to place for free, though it may deviate a little bit from place to place, sometimes. *~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~* [5.01] Skills Skills are different this time around, there are now 10 skills, and they are built differently. For those who have played previous games, you would know that skills are only really useful for one thing, making and meeting the job requirements for your job. The same holds true in this game, but there is much more you can do for your skills, and some skills are harder to obtain, Charisma is one such skill. There are 10 skills in total, Athletic (replacing the old Body Skill), Charisma, Cooking, Gardening (A Hobby from The Sims 2 - Seasons), Fishing (Another hobby from Seasons), Guitar (Broken from Creativity), Handiness (replaces Mechanical Skill), Logic, Painting (Broken from Creativity) and Writing (Which replaces a Hobby from The Sims 2). Now, there are many more ways to learn skills in this game. Much more ways. The first of such ways is taking classes. In the beginning, this will net you a complete skill point, but later on, progress is slightly lower. These classes can be taken all over the community, I'll list their location later, but they can all be taken, but it will set you back at a fee of 400 Simoleons. Next is that nearly all skills have books that you can read to boost your learning for it, however, they will normally cost you if you go to the bookstore and purchase them. They are, however, free of cost if you go to the local Library, a new addition to the community. Finally, the next common, non-skill specific way is to use public equipment. There are chess boards all over the place for logic, there is a library for all skills, there are is a free gym for Athletic, free grills for cooking, plants to be harvested, fish to be caught, and so on. Anyway, when you start off your Skills, you will start off with a Skill Journal. This will document some interesting facts, as well as

challenges that you can complete for a permanent bonus, that I'll go into when I get to the skill. The Skill Journal will track your progress, like how many pages your Sim has wrote, and how many meals that your Sim has cooked, even how many perfect ingredients you have harvested. But that is for your own leisure, lets start talking about the skills, and the challenges that you can complete. Note that some skills will get their own section, fishing, gardening and cooking are important enough to warrant their own indepth section. Writing and Painting will also get a section, the others don't really need one, as of yet. *~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~* [5.02] Athletic The Athletic skill is a far better sounding skill than the Body skill. Now, Athletic skill is used for those who want to be fit, and as you trim down the fat, you will gradually notice that your Sims will be getting athletic skill points. Now, how do you learn this skill? You can take classes at the Stadium for the quick burst, and from there, you can gain points from the Gym, that you can enter free of charge and open at all hours, work out machines that you can purchase, jogging and working out with the Stereo or the TV, swimming and reading the athletic books. This skill isn't as important, but after you start to learn it, you will get more and more options, offically called tones, when you are working out. These tones will determine how fast you gain your athletic skill, and how intense you decide to work out. There are two different workouts, Cardio and Strength. Strength will increase the amount of brawn that your Sim will have, whilst Cardio will drop the amount of body fat that your Sim has, so make sure you get a nice balance between the two. At, as you level up, the only different between the levels is the amount of time that your Sim can work out until they are fatigued and get the nasty moodlet. The higher the level, the more your Sim can tolerate and deal with the pain. Also, the higher the athletic skill, the better their chances to win in a fight. Well, a big tough guy normally does win against the skinny, puny guy. Unless the puny guy manages to kick the big guy in the nutsack, then it gets interesting. Anyway, at level 1, your Sim will have the ability to jog from place to place. This isn't all that bad, but it is slower than running, but increases your athletic skill at the same time, as well as it being recorded in your little skill journal. At Level 3, you will be able to get the Pumped moodlet from working out, which is a nice moodlet. Though the downside is that they will need to work out for a tee bit longer. At Level 5, the improvement is that when you set them to move from location to location, they will run a lot faster, if running is the best option, they will decide to take the car if it is faster.

Finally, at Level 6, your Sim will have the option to train other Sims with the exercise machines. This means that the Sim exercising will gain their Athletic Skill faster as well as losing weight more, under the expert guidance from a master. --Tones-Okay, the tones. These tones can only be used when you are working out. When you are working out, if you have these tones, you will be able to use the drop down bar and select what tone you want. You will always start with the normal, do workout tone, which is just the normal workout, so lets go into detail about the unlocked tones. Don't Break a Sweat is unlocked at Level 1. This will get you the same amount of athletic skill points as the normal workout tone, however, this will decrease the amount of hygiene decay that you will have. This is useful if you don't want to lose too much hygiene early on, and with hygiene out of the way, you can do longer workouts. Good Pacing is unlocked at Level 3. This tone allows you to increase the amount of time you workout, with the usual amount of athletic skill gain as well as the normal hygiene decay, but it will allow you to work out longer until you get the Fatigued moodlet, Push Self is unlocked at Level 5. This allows you to push yourself, but this comes at a cost. The next day, the day after you wake up, you will get the Sore moodlet for using Push Self, which can take time to heal. However, this will increase the speed in which you gain your body skill and also increase the rate in which you lose weight with normal decay. Quick Burst is the final tone unlocked at Level 7. This is where you will work out extremely hard, sacrificing hygiene and energy, as well as getting the Fatigue and Sore moodlet from working out. However, this will allow you to gain skill at an incredible rate, so you will get sacrificing everything to earn athletic skill at a fast rate. So pick your poison carefully. --Skill Challenges-There are 3 skill challenges that your Journal asks you to meet. If you do do it, you will get a reward at the end, so think about the benefits of it. Body Builder the the first of the challenges. You will need to do 60 hours of strength workouts, which pretty much means 60 hours on the weights machine. This will lead to the ability to never get the fatigue moodlet after working out on Strength Workouts. Fitness Nut is the next of the challenges. This is like the previous challenge, instead, you need to have 75 hours of Cardio workout, which means about 75 hours on the treadmill. This will net you the same reward, you will no longer get the fatigued moodlet after a Cardio workout. Marathon Runner is the last of the challenges. For this, you will need to run the fantastic amount of 500 Kilometres, before you can get this moodlet. As a conversion, it would be about 311 Miles. For completing this, it will grant

your Sim a longer life, as they are more fit. Interesting, run for life expectancy. And that about wraps up the Athletic skill. *~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~* [5.03] Charisma Charisma has changed since the second game, instead of just straight skill gain, you need family friends. Since they were removed from jobs, this is where it is at, you need friends to advance in Charisma. This skill will be useful for you when you are conversing with other Sims, the higher the skill, the better greeting, and thus, the better initial relationship will be. You can acquire this skill in only three ways, which makes it one of the most limiting skills. You can take a class in it, read about it in a nice book, or just practice in front of a mirror. Now, what does this skill actually do. It will allow you to use new greetings when you see a Sim. What does that do? Well, these greetings will increase the relationship a fair bit, and that makes it useful in itself, a nice start makes it easier to make friends. It will also unlock some nice new socials to play with and for the Mooches out there, a higher Charisma skill will enable you to leach more food and money. Another boost that the Charisma skill will give you is that your tones at work, which involve talking to co-workers and your boss, will be far more effective, that is, you will be able to make friends out of your boss and your co-workers a lot easier than before. Okay, the tough part is actually gaining this skill. In order to gain and succeed with this skill, you need to build up a stash of friends to gain this skill. Below are the requirements in terms of friends needed for each level. Level Level Level Level Level Level Level Level Level Level

Friends Friends Friends Friends Friends Friends Friends Friends Friends Friends

However, note that all those friends cannot be family members, all friends need to be, well, friends, there cannot be a family relationship between two people to count as friends. --Greetings-There are new greetings that you can use when you advance in skill. These Greetings, like I have said, will increase the relationship more than a normal greeting. The higher the skill, the better the greeting that you can use. Note

that these greetings will replace old greetings that are less effective. Also note that you will start with the basic greetings at the lowest skill. Level Level Level Level Level Level Level Level Level Level Level

The greeting table looks rather sloppy, I'd admit, but given the lack of formating tools on Notepad, compared to Excel, I really have my hands tied. Anyway, the better the greeting, the better the relationship boost that you will get, and besides, you have to greet someone to talk to them anyway, so you might as well give it a boost. --New Socials-There are new social interactions as well. You will get three social interactions that you can use, and whilst you are able to unlock the socials at different levels, the higher your Charisma skill, the more effective these social interactions are. The first social interaction is Charming Introduction, unlocked at Level 1. What this does is give a nice introduction, and this will immediately give an additional boost for a starting relationship. The higher your level, the stronger the greeting, and as such, by the time you reach Level 10, you will get friend status straight away when you use this introduction. The second social is Get to Know, unlocked at Level 3. This is used to discover all that you need to know about another Sim, their interests, their status, their traits. This will make it easier for you to discover some common interests. However, you still risk rejection at low friendships. By Level 10, they will spill their guts, no matter what, so no rejeciton. Finally, the last new social is Smooth Recovery, at Level 5. This is used straight after a negative result from a social interaction, basically, you said something you shouldn't have. This is used to recover that loss, and revive a dead conversation, so the higher your Level, the more effective your recovery will be. By Level 10, it will be a perfect recovery. Always. --Skill Challenges-Time for the challenges. There are 5 challenges that you can complete, the skill is diluted, but the reward is still the same. Celebrity is the first of your challenges, and if you are planning to max out this skill, this is the easiest to complete. You need to have 25 Sims, those not in your family, as your friends, basically, the same requirements as that

of getting the Level 10 Skill Level. This will allow you to start off with a far stronger relationship than other Sims. Comedian is the next challenge. This will require you to tell a total of 100 successful jokes, and this is one of the easiest to complete. The reward is that your jokes will hardly fail, though this is mooted if you have the Good Sense of Humour trait. Everybody's Best Friend is the third challenge. For this, you will need to have 10 Best Friends, which isn't all that hard, if you max out all your friendships and keep in touch. This is handy because when you will have friends, they will immediately skip the Good Friend level and move into Best Friend, which is quite useful. Personable is the fourth challenge. To be personable, you will need to have learn at least 50 different traits of your friends and other people in the neighbourhood, basically, you need to learn all 5 traits of 10 different Sims, and if you have a lot of friends, this isn't all that hard. This will give you the ability to learn traits far more quickly than before when conversing with other Sims. Super Friendly is the final chellenge. This requires you to have at least 20 friends, but the reward for this is enormous. This will stop all friendship decay, ALL DECAY, so you can never lose touch with your friend. Note that this is far superior than the Distant Friends perk. And so that ends the Charisma skill. Two down, eight to go. *~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~* [5.04] Cooking Cooking is one of the most important skills in the game, and one that your Sims will always seem to learn naturally. This will effect how you feed your Sims, and is the home to many powerful moodlets. It is hard work to build up your Cooking skill, but it is well worth it. Note that the way cooking works from Sims 2 is different. There is no longer stock. You need seperate ingredients for cooking a dish, it is no longer universal. Seems fair, can't make lobster from oranges. That always amused me. So how do you learn it? Well, cooking of course, gives a fair amount of the work, but taking classes in cooking and reading the right cookbooks always seems to help. And given the amount of food that your Sim needs to eat, it won't be long before your Sim will be racking up those skill levels in order to create some fantastic dishes. So what is the point of this skill. The better your cooking skill, the better your dishes will become, and the more nourishing they will be, with a lower chance of failure with each increasing level. Also, with each level, the quality of the food will improve. There is a lot to talk about on food, it deserves it's own section, so much that it will be the one right below this section, once I get around to putting it in. Anyway, what do you get at each level? You get new recipes. However, not all recipes are obtained through skill progression, a fair amount need to be learnt through one-use recipe books that you can purchase from the bookstore.

I will list them in brief now, and go indepth in them later, such as the ingredients that they require. Okay, for such a big topic, what I wrote is rather brief, but please bear in mear in that I will expand on this later. Whenever later is. If you read this in a later version, it will be already there. But earlier versions, well, please be patient. --Recipe List-Recipes Learnt from Skill Progression These are recipes that are automatically learnt by the Sim when they reach the level that is proscribed.

There are also skill challenges for cooking, but it is scaled back to three,

which makes things a bit easier on you. However, given that this is concerning food, consider them quite powerful rewards. Menu Maven is the first of your challenges, and one that will take a while to achieve. This requires you to have prepare all the recipes possible, so you will need to be at cooking level 10, learn all the recipes, prepare all the recipes, including the powerful Ambrosia, and your reward is that all your food that you now prepare are of a much higher quality. Star Chef is the second of your challenges. This requires you to prepare at least 50 meals, there are no limitations on what you can produce, you can make 50 plates of waffles for all I care. Again, the reward for this is that your food is of a higher quality, and higher quality food means much more powerful moodlets. World Class Chef is the final challenge. This requires you to prepare 75 dishes, again, there are no restrictions on what you can prepare, so 75 dishes of Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwiches coming right up. Anyway, this provides a different reward, this will allow you to cook your fishes a bit faster. And that wraps up the cooking skill, for now, until I get around to the indepth section. *~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~* [5.05] Fishing This is yet another skill that I will go indepth later, mainly because of the tables that I will need to draw up and there is no need to clutter this section. Anyway, fishing is basically that, you will need to learn how to fish, and the better your level, the more you can cook. Now the reason why this is useful is because it is a good source of money, and also ingredients for your cooking dishes. How do you obtain this skill. Again, there are only three ways, you can either take a class from the Supermarket, read the fishing books or you can just go fishing yourself. Not exactly a large variety of ways to learn, but it does the job. Now, fishing. Well, basically, course, the best place to fish of the water, because there is that some Sims will be able to nice touch.

a pool of water is a place you can fish, of are places where there is fish jumping out a higher chance of a catch. Keep in mind fish in swimming pools, which is always a

If you have the money, you can purchase a fair amount of books at the bookstore, and this is done for a reason. The reason you read those books is that it will give you the locations of where you can catch a fish, which is a nice start, and more importantly, the perferred bait of each fish. Talk about bait is in the paragraph below this next one. What happens as you level up with this skill? Well, the higher your level, the more fish you can type. Some fish you cannot catch until you are at much higher levels. Also, the higher the level, the better quality fish you can catch, you can't exactly catch perfect fish at Level 1, but it will be more common at Level 10. When you reach LEVEL 3, you will be able to bait fish out of the sea. What

is bait? Well, bait basically means a type of food or fish that you can use, and lose upon successful catch of a fish, but it will increase the chance of catching the fish that the bait is selected for. More in it's specific section. The better quality of bait, the better quality of fish that you are going to catch. I hope you have a large garden. Also, as you level up, you will be able to inspect the water of any place that you can fish, and this will identify all the available fish in that water that you can catch. This is useful if you are looking for a certain type of fish. Well, that is about as indepth as I would like to go for skills, given that I am going to dedicate a section for this. --Skill Challenges-However, I am not going to forget about the challenges, but this time, there are only two challenges for you. Amateur Ichthyologist is the first of the challenges, and it is a rather funny sounding one, which makes it interesting. This requires you to have caught every single type of fish, EVERY SINGLE TYPE OF FISH. That includes the rare as hen's teeth, Deathfish. For such a feat, you will be rewarded that all the fish you now catch will be bigger, fatter, and tastier. Commercial Fisherman is the second and last of the challenges. This requires you to have caught at least 350 fish, which is quite a lot, but given that time flies, you will be able to achieve this in no time. If you fish regularly that is. For this, you will be able to catch fish faster than other Sims, which means that you can catch more fish. And that wraps up fishing, for now. Tune in next time, for more TALES. OF. INTEREST. I mean fishing. *~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~* [5.06] Gardening Gardening is one of the new skills, and basically, this is one of the money making skills. This is another skiill that I will go indepth later, mainly because it is a very large section. Anyway, this skill is necessary for tending and harvesting the produce of plants, and this has two uses, one is for making a fair amount of money, and the latter is to have fresh ingredients for your cooking. This skill is obtained in three ways, the standard reading books and taking classes method, and the final method is actually going out into the field and working and tending your plants. Tending, watering, harvesting, all those activities will increase your skill in gardening. Now, what is the whole point of gardening? Well, gardening is basically looking and fielding plants, and by doing this, you can make those plants grow up nice and strong, and you move on to harvest the produce, and make money out if it. More about growing plants and harvesting in their respective section, so when that is ready, you can read that to make this following part about level development make a bit more sense.

Anyway, you start off at Level 0, and your gardening skills are a bit restrictive to say the least. By Level 2, you will be able to tend to a garden, so you can water, and now, remove the weeds surrounding the plant. Weeds need to be removed for the sole reason that they will damage the plant's quality. The higher your level from now on, the faster your Sim will be able to tend those plants. Once you reach Level 3, you will have the ability to fertilise the plants. This skill is important, as fertilizer will improve the quality of your produce, and that is useful as it will increase the quality of the meals that use your ingredients and it increases the value when you are selling them. However, bear in mind that quality of the fertilizer will determine how much the plant's quality is improved. By Level 5, you will notice that when you walk around the neighbourhood, you will have seen common, uncommon and rare seeds. By Level 5, you will be able to plant uncommon seeds, in addition to common seeds that you have already been able to plant since Level 0. At Level 6, if your Sims have the Green Thumb trait, they will be able to revive a plant, which means that you will be able to revive a plant that has died through neglect or some other means. Barren plants will not be able to be revived. With this, you will have a good chance to revive the dying or ailing plant. By Level 7, you will be able to plant those rare seeds, and this means that those nice lovely plants that you have no idea about can now be grown. And finally, the last 3 levels. At this point, you will get opportunities, one for each level, about growing a specific number of harvestables with a certain quality. By completing these opportunities, you will get access to new plants. You will be able to grow plants that spawn eggs, cheese, steak, and finally, the Omni Plant, though this will get it's own section. So that is about it for developmental skills, so on to the challenges. Yes, I do know that this is a bit brief, but like I said, this deserves it's own section. --Skill Challenges-There are three challenges that you can perform. Of course, given the nature of this skill, it will take some time to perfect, but you'll get there, eventually. Botanical Boss is the first of the challenges, and this requires you to grow 75 perfect harvestables, there are no requirements on what needs to be grown. However, for doing this, you will get the power that none of your plants will ever die from neglect, such as not tending them or not watering them. Master Farmer is the will need to harvest it, isn't actually a watered and deweeded

next of the challenges. To complete this challenge, you a total of 650 harvestables, which, when you think about lot. By completing this, you will have your plants for longer, that means, less work.

Master Planter is the final of the challenges. This will require you to plant every single type of plant, every single one. This isn't all that easy, but it isn't impossible. Once you have completed planting all of the different types of plants, your plants will suffer significantly less weed growth. Which is again, quite useful. And that wraps up Gardening, for now. *~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~* [5.07] Guitar This is one of the worst skills, because there isn't much in terms of usage. Basically, imagine just the piano playing skill, and yeah, there isn't much, but it is relatively important if you are planning to go into the Music career, so pick your poison carefully. Again, this skill is developed in a set amount of ways, there is always the books and classes approach, though it doesn't get you very far, or you can just practice on the guitar. It isn't much in terms of development, but it is similar to other skills. Well, the whole aim of this is getting new songs to play with. As you develop your skills, you get more and more songs that your Sim can perform, and by Level 5, you can perform songs for tips whilst performing in public. This is a quick way to make money, but it is still short change. Anyway, through skill development, you will learn new songs. This is quite useful, as the more songs you can play, the more variety you can provide to passerbys, and try to hit their favourite music. From Level 1 to 4, you will gain two new compositions, that is, songs, through development. Level 5 is special, you will get 3 new songs, and from that point on, Level 6 to 10, you will get only 1 new song per level, but there are new compositions that you can purchase from the bookstore, which effectively makes it two per level. Level 5 is the most important part of this skill, because it is also the point in which you can perform to the public. Previously, you can only practice, but now you can play in public. Shove that guitar into your Sim's inventory and you can play it. This is where you can make up that 600 Simoleon purchase price. Try public areas, such as the main park, for the most pedestrian traffic. Also at Level 5, you will be able to serenade someone. Literally, this is like flirting with someone, but through song. Basically, it serves as a romantic social interaction that will aid you in your romantic overtures at the song's conclusion. --Skill Challenges-Guitar only has three challenges, which isn't a hell of a lot, but it is better than nothing, I guess. Anyway, without further ado. Guitar Star is the first of the of the two challenges, and basically, your Sim needs to perform at a total of 10 parties. With this, you will be able to get more money from tips and such performances. Which means some more

spare change for you. Master Guitarist is the next of the challenges that you will face. This is where you learn every single composition, from levelling up, the compositions that you can purchase from the store and compositions that can be learnt through opportunities that you will get from time to time. As a reward, you receive a new song. Which kinda defeats the purchase. Money Maker is the final challenge that you can pick on. This requires you to earn a total of 5,000 Simoleons from all your performances, which is quite a lot, considering all you get is spare change, but after a long amount of performances and time at parties, you will start to rack up the money. For this, your reward is that you get another new master track to play with. And that wraps up the Guitar Skill. *~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~* [5.08] Handiness This is the skill that replaces the Mechanical skill, and this actually has some uses, yuo can use this to play with some equipment. You can basically tinker with equipment, and repair broken items, and after a while, you will be able to upgrade your equipment to make them work better. There are a fair amount of ways to boost this skill, besides the obvious class and book method. You can repair broken items for some more knowledge on the Handiness skill, or tinker with them, or you can just upgrade the items and see how it goes. Basically developmental benefits through this skill is quite useful if you are the handiman around the house. The higher your skill, the better your chance of success in tinkering and upgrading, as well as repairing, and the lower the chances of failure. Note that the Handiness trait, you will always succeed. By Level 3, you will be able to upgrade your equipment, again, I will put a list in a seciton of it's own, mainly because it needs a proper table, and I cannot provide one here and make it all neat and tidy. However, these upgrades are quite powerful and useful. For example, you can make a cheap dishwasher silent, or improve the stove to make better quality food, or even improve your TV to have more channels to watch. There are more upgrades, but again, I will give it a section for that, as to go indepth. Finally, at Level 10, you will be able to get a nice bonus. You will be invited by a guild and you will get a permanent 25% discount to all items that you can purchase off the buy catalog. Quite short, the above section, because the upgrading section needs a fair bit of space. --Skill Challenges-There are the standard three skill challenges with this skill. Not a lot, but better than nothing. Electrician is the first of the challenges, and have a guess, you need to play with some electricity. You will need to repair 10 electricial objects,

which, over the course of a few days, doesn't mean quite a lot because they will suffer heavy usage. The reward is simple, you will never be electrocuted again, ever again. Plumber is the second of the three challenges, and as you can guess, you need to play with water. You need to successfully repair 10 plumbing items, and this is quite easy, it is usually a shower, bath or toilet, and you use those constantly. Your reward is that these items will never break again. Tinkerer is the last of the three challenges, and this requires you to tinker around with objects. You need to have installed at least 10 different, unique upgrades on objects around the house. Use the table found later on in the Upgrading section for more information. As a result, you will never fail at upgrading objects. And that is it, for now. *~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~* [5.09] Logic Logic is one of the few skills that hasn't undergone a total review, which is a nice touch. However, there is a lot more you can do with this skill, it isn't just chess playing, there is a lot more than that. This is the general intelligence skill, and is used for tutoring other Sims, for discovering new celestial bodies. Logic is one of the skills that has more than 3 development options. Sure, there is the traditional class and book approach, but you can also learn this skill from the Chessboard, using the telescope, or being tutored by other Sims. The Computer is a new source of learning, considering you can play chess on the computer now, and gain logic at the same time. Logic is one of the skills that has a massive developmental cycle. The effects are immediate, your Sim can start to solve the unsolvable, basically, you are solving hard mathematical problems for money, it isn't always a success, but the money is good. By Level 3, your Sim is able to search the stars for previously unknown celestial bodies. Of course, there is money involved, and the best part is that you can name discovery after what you want. Be creative. Doesn't every kid want to see the Steaming Pile of Poop star? Of course, the cheapest are satellites, they aren't worth the most. Next are small stars, followed by new planets, and finally, the large stars, which are worth the most. It is all random, but that is the pattern in which they are valued. And to make sure it is offical, they are logged into your journal. At Level 5, your Sim will be able to tutor other Sims in the logic skills, However, you can only tutor young Sims at this stage, children and teens, for now. This is quite useful, giving a nice powerful moodlet as well as it helps the child's school performance and develops their logic skill faster than usual. Also at Level 5, you will be able to talk about Sims about celestial bodies that they have discovered. What is more important, other than a topic of conversation and a nice relationship boost is that if you talk about the celestial body named after them, well, you get a massive boost. Hey, I would like to tell other people about a new star I discovered and named after them,

and they would be happy. Finally, at Level 10, you will be able to improve your tutoring skills, you will be able to tutor anyone, in basically everything, all skills, bar the Athletic and Charisma skill. However, there is a limitation, Sims cannot tutor beyond their own skill level, that is, if a Sim has Level 7 in Cooking, that Sim cannot tutor another Sim beyond that Level 7 in Cooking. This is useful for developing the skills of younger Sims. This beats learning through the books, but is slower than learning through actual practice. However, there is a skill within a skill. There is a chess skill, and although logic is a strong factor in how the game plays, the more you practice chess, the better you will get. The more you practice, the more games you win, so this is the way you beat a Grand Master in chess. Sure, Level 10 in logic outranks a Level 9, but he/she has practiced for a long time, you have not. --Skill Challenges-There is quite a fair amount of challenges here, well, four, but it is more than the standard of 3 that you normally get. Celestial Explorer is the first of the challenges, discover 20 new objects through your telescope, be new planets. As a result, you will be able to talk sky to other Sims, compared to the Level 5 perk of you have discovered.

and this requires you to it stars, satellites or about the stars and the just talking about things

Grand Master is the second of the four challenges, and you need to reach the last level of Chess, and this is done by just beating all the ranked opponents in your path. Once you get to this level, you will be able to gain your skill in logic, and as a result, chess, at double the usual rate, which is exceptionally useful. Skill Professor is a challenge in which you need to spend at least 30 hours tutoring other Sims, whatever the age and whatever the skill, there are no specifications. Once they are effectively a professorhead in their own regards, their teaching will be twice as effective, that is, the student will learn the skill twice as quickly. Teacher Extraordinaire is the last of the challenges, and it is the weaker brother of Skill Professor, in which you will only need to spend 20 hours in tutoring other Sims, but again, you will only be twice as effeective. Which makes the skill professor 4 times as effective. Effective? And that wraps up the Logic skill, 8 down, 2 to go. *~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~* [5.10] Painting This used to be a skill within a skill. Previously, painting was a skill that, the more you practiced, the more money you get, however, it was considered an activity under the Creativity skill. Since that has gone to dirt, this gets it's very own skill, which is fun. This is a strange skill, there are only two ways to earn this skill, through the usual classes and the obviously, painting on the easel. This is quite

easy to handle. This skill is all about practice, and more practice. The more you practice, the better you'll be, and the more money that you will make. You will only be able to practice early on, and by reaching Level 1, you will already be making your mark by choosing from three different types of canvas, small, medium or large. By Level 5, they will be able to paint, rather than practice, but it is all semantics, it really doesn't mean anything. Level 6 is where things get a little more interesting, you will haev the chance to paint a Brillant painting, and this is just a usual painting, but it is Brillant. Besides the environmental benefit that it will give, it is also worth double the normal value. Level 9 is where it turns even better, with your Sims given the chance to paint a Masterpiece. This gives out an even stronger environmental boost if you have the chance to mount it, or you can sell it, and it will be triple the usual value. Just as an interesting side note, if the painter dies, all their paintings will be worth more, since demand and supply would suggest that there is now only a finite about of dead person's works, so supply is limited. Also, there is another set of developmental skills. At Level 5, you will be able to paint a Still Life painting, which is a painting of a photo that you will have to choose. Level 7 will allow you to paint a portrait of a Sim, which requires two people. After all, you cannot paint thin air. Finally, at Level 8, you can paint a memorized scene, which means you take a photo of a place around the neighbourhood with the mobile phone, and paint that. --Skill Challenges-There are only three skill challenges for this, which isn't exactly a lot, but again, better than nothing. Brushmaster is the first of the challenges. This requires you to have painted a total of 35 paintings, and the reward for this is that your Sim will be able to paint a lot faster than before. Useful for pumping out those paintings. Master Painter is the next of the challenges, and this requires you to have painted 5 Masterpieces. This is quite hard to do, but with the below challenge complete, it may be a bit easier. For a reward, from now on, every painting you sell will be worth a lot more than usual, that is, you make more money for the same amount of effort. Proficient Painter is the final challenges, and as you can guess, you need to have painted 6 Brillant paintings, nothing less. This requires a hell of a lot of luck, so good luck painting that. However, the reward is a useful one for a painter, you will be able to paint more Brillant and Masterpiece paintings, that is, a higher chance to do so. Finally, that wraps up 9 of the 10 skills, one more to go. *~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~* [5.11] Writing

The final skill, and this game as turn what was a hidden skill in novel writing into a much bigger skill. Again, this will be another skill that will get it's own section, given the scope, and is another non-offical way to make money. There are only three real ways to learn about writing, and that is to either take a class or read the book, as usual, or you can go and practice writing on the computer. Note that all writing needs to be done on the computer, as it stands, you cannot make a typewriter and do some writing, because it doesn't have spell check. Anyway, the developmental effects of writing, well, this will overlap the indepth section, but anyway, by increasing your level, you will gain access to more novel genres, and whilst they take longer to write, you get more in royalties. More on that later. At the start, you will have access to Fiction books, but from there, it will start to get bigger, as in genres. Level Level Level Level Level Level Level Level Level Level Level

--Skill Challenges-Again, there are only three here that you can do, so it is nothing unusual. Prolific Writer is a challenge that requires a Sim to write at least 20 novels in their careers. This is quite useful if you are looking for money because these guys will be more recognised and as such, they will tend to produce more Hits and Best-Seller books, and this leads to more in royalties. Specialist Writer is the next challenge, and this requires your Sims to write 5 novels in a specific genre, any genre. As a result, they are well recognised in their own genre, and they will make more hits and best-sellers, however, it is only effective in their favourite genre. Speed Writer is the final challenge, out of all the skills and for me writing, and requires you to have earnt a total of 15,000 Simoleons in royalties, which isn't a hell of a lot if this is a full time career, maybe a bit longer if it

is a part time career. As you can guess, the reward is that your Sims will write a lot faster. Exceptionally handy if they are looking at doing the romance novels. And that, ladies and gentlemen, wraps up the skills. In brief. *~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~* [6.01] Overview There are 11 professional jobs available to you this time, compared to the amount of careers, only 10, which comes in both the Sims 1 and the Sims 2. This is exactly the same, except the presentation is a bit different. Also, there are part time jobs, which you can have on top of a full time jobs, but more on that later. Again, only adults and now, elders, will be able to have full time jobs, and this is a lot more interesting. Several careers will have branches, which means, your career will come to a split path, and you need to choose which path your Sim wants to walk on. This means that there is more than the usual 110 jobs that you were expecting. However, once you reach elder status, you can retire from your job and receive a pension. Whilst the money isn't exactly good, you don't need to work and get paid. Up to you, really. Also, as you level up, there are rewards for reaching certain levels in your career. This is most useful, since there are some nice rewards that you cannot obtain in any other method, like a police cruiser. Another change is that there are work tones. That is, there are options that you can select for your Sim to perform during work, which dictates what they do. For example, you can have your Sim work out exceptionally hard, or just slack off or talk to their co-workers. All jobs with a normal effect tone, where you get average decay, for average job performance growth. Okay, about the jobs themselves, there is a job performance bar. However, unlike previous games, this actually has a use. The Performance bar will show your overall performance since you started the job or since your last promotion. If it is green, good work, if it is red, you will stand to have a pay cut or a demotion. Now, to be promoted by the game automatically, you will need to complete, as in, all green, the performance bar, and that will get you promoted. Along the way, you can demand a raise at work, by clicking on your work place and demanding a raise. This means that you get more money at the end of the day, nothing else. Raises will replace promotions when you get to the top of the ladder, giving more incentive to stay in one career, rather than several. Some changes from previous games. There are no skill limits to promotion, instead, you will have several items that will affect job performance. The better it is completed, the faster you gain job performance. For example, when it says that logic is a factor in your job performance, it means the more logic points you have, the better. You will have a tutorial in game for this, so don't fret. And finally, gone are the chance cards, and in comes the opportunities. You will have the chance to complete some tasks for work, outside of work, and you will get a reward for it, a seciton for that later. And back from the Sims 1 is the idea of job transfer. Sometimes, your Sim gets the opportunity to

transfer to other careers. For example, a Lieutenant in the Law Enforcement Career might get the offer to join the Military, and so forth. Without further delay, let us start on the new careers. *~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~* [6.02] Business The Business career takes place in the Corporate Towers, and is your typical office job. Basically, go to the office, do some work, and go home. This is one of the best paying jobs for the least amount of skills, given that you don't need any skills to succeed here. Not even Charisma. There are 5 Work Tones for this skill. Hold Meetings - Division Mananger Level or greater. This is where you plan for meetings, and when you will attend them, which gives you the opportunity to attend meetings, but slows performance growth. Meet Co-Worker - This allows you to meet your co-workers and talk with them, building up a relationship with your co-workers, and this is quite important in this career. This is used to meet more co-workers quickly, not so much relationships. Chat at Water Cooler - This is where you will build up a relationship with your co-workers. This is more effective at building a relationship than the previous tone, but less effective at taking with them. Suck Up to Boss - This is where you build up a relationship with the boss, though redundant from Chief of Board and onwards. This is a useful way to build a new friendship. Power Work - Basically, you work a lot harder, and this gains job performance a hell of a lot faster, however, this will degrade your mood a lot faster, especially fun. First, a quick note about meetings. Meetings are important because they are a factor of promotion. The more meetings you have, the better your job performance. The best is to have work hours used in meetings. You can hold meetings whilst at work, so you can make the best of both worlds and get paid for this. Anyway, lets start on the stats. Note that the pay is standard. This is the basic pay, this is not taking into account raises that you may have received from work. --==Coffee Courier==-"Nobody ever looks to the Coffee Courier to orchestrate a multi-billion Simoleon corporate takeover, but that doesn't mean you can't impress the higher-ups when you're bringing them coffee.

They are normally one and a half hours long, you can hold them whenver you feel like, as if there were meetings all day long, and most importantly, you get paid for it, 750 Simoleons per meeting, on average, and that is a lot of money for that amount of time. Though it all depends on when you want to do

the meetings, you don't have to attend, if you don't want to. *~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~* [6.03] Criminal Ah, the Criminal career, one of the careers that survived the cut. However, it has undergone a nice overhaul, seeing it is one with exceptionally powerful perks. For one, seeing as you are a Criminal, you will be exempt from being robbed. So no criminals will decide to pick on your house for a quick robbery. Also, whatever the level, your Sim will have the chance to bring home random items from work, so it is a nice source of side money. However, what has perks also has disadvantages. You will have a chance to end up arrested, seeing as you are breaking the law, and you will end up in prison for a day. At least you can work out for your stay in prison. There are 7 Work Tones that you can choose from. Work Hard - This tone, as you can easily assume, means that your Sim works harder at work, gaining more in terms of job performance but will take a massive hit on needs decay, especially the Fun meter. Take It Easy - This is the exact opposite to the one above, this is where your Sim takes it less seriously, and will gain less job performance for a lower hit on Fun. This is best used when you already have a complete performance bar, or nearly there. Practice Illicit Activities - Requires Level 1+ of Athletic Skill. This is where you basically practice the athletic skill at work, and you gain athletic skill points, but at a slower rate. But at least you get paid. Meet Accomplices - This is basically talking to your co-workers, the people who will be assisting you on your raids and criminal activities. This is necessary to find out who your co-workers are, but not good at building relationships. Conspire with Accomplices - This is the opposite to the one above, this is less effective at meeting your co-workers but it is better to build a relationship with them. Do a Side Job - This is a tone where you have the opportunity to earn some Simoleons on the side. The cash isn't a lot, but it is a nice way to earn some cash whilst being paid on the job. Not too bad. Grovel to Leader - Evil Branch. This is where you go down and kiss your leader's feet, and grovel for his favour. This is only necessary in the Evil branch, thieves work by themselves. And lets get onto the Criminal Career jobs. --==Decoy==-"Can you keep a secret? The local crime syndicate is looking for a few good people to join the ranks.

First is that you will be able to tell an impressive story to other Sims, sort of like the news story for the Star News Anchor, and this will help your relationship.

The chances of success and failure are all dependent on the indicators for job performance, you need to have a good mood, high logic and athletic skill as well as some reports done. You will have 3 outcomes. It will be a failure and your mood will suffer as a result. A good raid will give a small bonus in terms of Simoleons, whilst a successful raid will net you a LOT of money.

Chat with Medical Personnel - This is basically finding out who all your co-workers are and then talking them them to build up a relationship with them, though it is not useful in this career. Do Boss's Paperwork - This is not necessary in this career, but it is good to

replenish that social bar after a long shift as well as some extra hours work. Sleep in Ready Room - That ready room is useful, so this work tone will sell off that job performance to replenish your energy, which you will need, considering that you are in one career where a good night's sleep is next to impossible.

Chat with Co-Workers - Like the other before it, this is less effective at finding out who they, your co-workers are, but it is useful to build up a relationship with them. Run Errands for Superior - This is needed in this career, because it isn't just skill alone that takes you ahead, but it is who you know, and if your boss thinks you are ready or not to progress. Suggest New Course of Action - This is a new tone, an executive one, if you will, but this will sacrifice job performance and it will lead to new ideas that can increase job performance and relationships with your boss and other co-workers. --==Podium Polisher==-"There's nothing glorious about being a Podium Polisher.

The source of moodlet, and it actively forces you to use your ingredients that you can fish from the sea, harvested from the garden or bought from the Supermarket. Unlike previous games, where recipes were just obtained through increasing your cooking, skill, cooking in The Sims 3 is a bit different. Whilst a fair amount are obtained through level progression, nearly half are obtained through cookbooks, recipes that you can purchase from the bookstore, which are one use items, and read to learn the recipe. When you are going to be cooking food, the best ingredients will give the best type of food, as well as a high cooking skill. Obviously, a food processor will do better than simply cutting up the food, and a high quality grill will do a lot better than a cheap stove.

And that wraps up cooking. *~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~* [8.02] Fishing Fishing is quite a big part of this game, there is a fair amount of fish that you can collect. This is a skill that can be helped by the bookstore, you can read books to help you on bait and books that can help your fishing skill overall. Now, bait. Basically, bait is where you will attach something to your fishing hook, and it will attract more fish overall. However, it will attract the type of fish that likes the bait most more than others. So you are more likely to catch your wanted fish by using the specific bait. When you go to fish, a fish you catch can be used as a trophy of some sort. For a small fee of §70, you can mount your fish to hang on the wall. Or you can purchase a fish bowl and let your fish live. Next, there are two types of water you can fish in, freshwater and saltwater. Saltwater, as you can guess, is salty water, and that means that these types of fish are found in the ocean. Freshwater is mainly for fish found in rivers and ponds. Simple enough. Finally, your own pond. Think of this as your own private fishing reserve. You can stock a pond with a certain fish by having 10 or more of that type of fish in your inventory. If you want goldfish in a certain pond, have 10 goldfish in your inventory and stock it. Once you stock it, that fish will be able to be caught in that pond infinitely. Personally, I'd keep it as a private reserve. There is no limit on what pond can be used, and what fish, so that means that if you have 10 Deathfish, a Deathfish pond. Also, this pond will allow you to catch that fish any time of the day, again, another good thing for Deathfish. Besides catching fish, you can also catch some other things, normally found in an old box. This will give you rare seeds (Flame Fruit, Life Fruit, Death Flower, Omni Plant, Money Tree), Birthday Cakes, Mood Candles, Laptops, Bubble Bath, Guitars, Rubber Ducks and sometimes, the Mysterious Mr. Gnome. Now, onto the fish. Below is the template that I will use for fish section of the guide. --==Name of Fish==-Fishing Level = The minimum level required for you to be able to catch this fish Habitat = What type of water you will find the fish in. Rarity = How rare or uncommon the fish is to find, which denotes the odds of catching it, the rarer, the more unlikely you are to catch it. Bait = The preferred bait of the fish, using this will more likely than not hook you the fish you are looking for. Weight = How much the fish weighs in kilograms. Though this has no real use besides determining the value of the fish. The heavier, the better. Value = The value of the fish, the lowest to highest possible price. --==Anchovy==--

Deathfish is notoriously hard to catch, so having the Love the Outdoors and Angler trait will be exceptionally handy, as well as the Commercial Fisherman challenge. If you manage to catch it, well done. Now try to catch 10 and stock them in a pond just for deathfish. Why is it so valued? Because it is exceptionally high value, and it is used in Ambrosia. *~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~* [8.03] Gardening Gardening is a large skill as well, larger than fishing, mainly because there is a lot to grow. Plants are precious little things, they will need constant watering, tending to weeds, harvesting, so pretty much constant maintenance. This skill is improved greatly by the Green Thumb, Love the Outdoors and the Super Green Thumb traits. There are a fair amount of plants that you can grow, and I'll list them below. There is also more than just gardening than tending to plants and harvesting them. Everyday, you will need to water the plants. The plants will seem to need water, tending and harvesting at 5AM - 6AM daily, so if you have nothing to

do just before work, check up on the plants, harvest them and tend to them. The best thing is that you now have a sprinkler to do the watering for you. A little tinkering can let you do less work by watering the plants for you when they need watering. Now, what is the point of gardening? Well, it will grow some fruit and vegetables that are necessary in cooking, and once you get to the very end of the gardening skill, you can plant the omni-plant, which will turn into anything that you want it to. How do you start gardening? Simple, you need a seed or a product that can be planted, like an apple or a bell pepper, and then you plant it, it is rather simple. When you plant it, you have to constantly water it, tend it and take care of the weeds when it requires that, and harvest it when the produce is ready. There are grades for plants, but they are similar to the grading for food and fish. There is normal, nice, very nice, great, excellent, outstanding and perfect. The higher the grade, the more it is worth. Lets start by looking at the plants below. Again, the template will be explained. --==Plant Name==-Rarity = How rare the plant is to find Skill Level = This is the skill level that your Sim will need to plant this plant. Note it is gardening skill. Base Value = The price it will fetch for a normal quality plant. Perfect Value = This is the amount of § you get for a perfect plant. Produce per Harvest = Amount of produce that you get per harvest. Maximum Harvest = Amount that you can harvest until the plant is barren. Chance of Weeds = The chance that weeds will infect your plant. Anyway, let us start with the plants. But for this section, this ain't all. --==Apple Tree==-Rarity Skill Level Base Value Perfect Value Produce per Harvest Maximum Harvest Chance of Weeds

This plant is special for a reason. It will only produce a single flower, unless you have the Green Thumb trait. This is special because when the Grim Reaper comes to visit your Sim, if they have this in their inventory, their lives will be spared for the cost of this plant. Think of it as a life insurance policy.

Special 10 §Varies §Varies 2-5

Maximum Harvest Chance of Weeds

This is a very special plant that is obtained through opportunities and from that point, you can order them via mail. This plant will produce what you submit it as fertilizer, you can feed it anything as a fertilizer, and it will grow it for you. However, there are some things you cannot feed it, you cannot feed Death Flowers, seeds, one-use books. For example, you can fertilize the plant with books, and it will produce books for you to sell. Interesting. Have fun with it. How, for the amount of money that you can sell it for. Note that whenever you sell a harvestable at the supermarket, you will get a 10% premium on it, so you get 10% more. Now, for a price guide, the amount of the base value that you get based on the quality of the value. Use the base value of the plant, and you can determine the base value of the plant based on quality. Normal Nice Very Nice Great Excellent Outstanding Perfect

= = = = = = =

100% 110% 150% 200% 250% 300% 400%

Now, onto fertilizer. Fertilizer is used to enhance the quality of the plant, which will, in turn, increase the quality of the harvest. There are three things to look out for, grade, time and the name of the fertilizer. Grade is how much it will improve the plant, time will show how long the plant will be fertilized for from that fertilizer, and the name is the name of the fertilizer. Below is a list of all the fertilizer that you can use. I'll list them by grade, which means that the best fertilizers are at the top, the worst are at the bottom. Grade = 25 Lifefruit = Lasts 6 Days Angelfish = Lasts 4 Days Vampirefish = Lasts 3 Days Grade = 20 Shark = Lasts 4 Days Lobster = Lasts 3 Days Grade = 15 Garlic

Instant Death of Plant Deathfish = Lasts 4 Days The type of fertilizer, as in quality, will also effect how long the fertilizer will last. Great, Excellent and Outstanding fertilizer will last for an extra day, whilst Perfect Fertilizer will last for an extra 2 days. The quality will also determine how effective the grade is. Below is a

list of the quality of the fertilizer and how effective it is. 1 will be considered normal, whilst 2 will mean that the fertilizer is twice as effective. Normal Nice Very Nice Great Excellent Outstanding Perfect

= = = = = = =

And that will wrap up gardening. *~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~* [8.04] Guitar The guitar skill doesn't require too much in terms of indepth, but rather, it is the list of compositions that a person will want to look for.

*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~* [8.05] Handiness Handiness is a skill that is quite useful if you want to make sure that your items around the household give more of a boost. Basically, it is toying around with items to make them more useful. This is a skill that, when improved, will allow you more access to newer upgrades, and whilst they do cost a fair bit, and increase your household bills somewhat, but they are exceptionally useful. Why wouldn't you want to

have more channels that you want on the TV? Anyway, note that each item can only have one upgrade at a time, so you cannot have more than that. However, there is another side to upgrading. Sure, you will get a good benefit, but there is a risk that your upgrade can fail and as such, cause some adverse effects. Now, below are the upgrades. Again, a template will be used to talk about them, so follow the template, understand it, and that will help you understand everything that I bother to type. --==Upgrade Time==-Objects Upgraded = These are the objects that can be fitted with this upgrade Level Required = This is the level at Handiness you need to be at to apply this upgrade. Difficulty = This will be how hard it will be to upgrade the object, which means the more difficult it is, the more time it will take. Effect = What this will do to the object, once upgraded Failure = This is what happens if you fail to upgrade the item. And let us begin on zee upgrades. --==Auto Light==-Objects Upgraded Level Required Difficulty Effect Failure

A nice benefit of tinkering with objects is that when you tinker with them, you will have the possibility to accidently give it an upgrade, even those beyond your level. However, by doing this, it is time hungry, and too random for something like this. *~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~* [8.06] Writing Below is a list of all the writing that you can do in the game, and when you look at it, it is an extremely big list, and they have a fair amount of pre-requisites.

CJayC, The Creator of GameFAQs, thanks for all the memories SBAllen for administrating GameFAQs, keep up the good work You, no point of writing if no one is reading Electronic Arts for the distribution of the game Electronic Arts, again for developing the game The Sims 3 Prima Guide for being a source of information ASCGen for their program making ASCII Art Me, for a shameless piece of self promotion *~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~* [C] Webmaster Information This is where all the sites that this guide can appear on are listed. If the site name is not on this list, that means that either they are accepted by me but not listed, due to logistical reasons (this is the same copyright section as all the other guides, and no point listing a Civ 4 site on a Sims game), or they are not allowed outright. Anyway, POINT OUT ALL SITES NOT LISTED HERE. It will be up to me what site is allowed or disallowed. www.GameFAQs.com <Master Copy> www.NeoSeeker.com www.SuperCheats.com NeoSeeker and SuperCheats will have the guides a full day after it appears on GameFAQs. This is because those two sites grab any new update from me from GameFAQs itself, so if you are itching for the newest version, please check www.GameFAQs.com first. It will NEVER BE ALLOWED TO APPEAR ON www.cheatcc.com Why? Because they stole some of my works before, and I will not forget that. No amount of goodwill will be able to repair what you have done. *~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~* [D] Copyright Notice This game is Copyright 2009 Electronic Arts.
