\nMarcell (in a relationship with Theresa)
\nTheresa (in a relationship with Marcell)<\/p>\nYou will need to figure out the Townie Sims personality traits in order to better interact with them. Some things you do will annoy them (for example: Walter has no sense of humor so telling him jokes annoys him). If they shake their heads and wave their hands in a no more gesture you know you are doing something that bugs them.<\/p>\n
Read the \u201cGoals & Objectives\u201d \u201cRomancing the Sim\u201d before you start befriending Sims. Once you have various skills (fishing, cooking, etc.) various Sims will ask you to do things for money. Various Sims don\u2019t like each other and will ask you to smack, annoy or kick over the trash can of other Sims for money.
\n Johnny will pay you $200 for a tuna.
\n Ruth will pay you $xx for cheese.
\n Theresa will pay you $xx for beans.
\n Marcel will give you a salmon recipe for a salmon.
\n Bernie will pay you $30 to annoy Jack.
\n Jack will pay you $90 to slap Bernie.
\n Kia will pay you $90 to slap Ruth.<\/p>\n
To delete Sim you have created tap the \u201cStart Game\u201d menu, tap the red icon in the lower left corner, tap the Sim you want to delete, tap the green check and that Sim is now removed from your choices. But any Goals accomplished by this Sim are still considered accomplished.<\/p>\n
Do NOT EVER!<\/strong>
\nIn the \u201cOptions\u201d menu, do not ever, ever, ever tap \u201cReset Data\u201d unless you want to start the game from scratch. Not only will it re-hide all your goals it will DELETE all your Sims. The good news is, if you tap it accidentally you do get the option to tap the red X and not reset.<\/p>\nThe Goals:<\/strong>
\nThere are 73 goals total. 55 of the goals are shared by all Sim classes. 18 goals are specific to a Sim classs. The goals are:<\/p>\nFor all Sims (55)<\/strong>

\nAchieve the highest fishing skill level
\nAchieve the highest repairing skill level
\nAchieve the highest cooking skill level<\/p>\nYou should achieve the shared goals with your main Sim. This way they have the experience. But once a goal is accomplished it is accomplished for all Sims.<\/p>\n
Play Order<\/strong>
\nCreate six Sims, and designate one as your \u201cmain\u201d Sim. Your main Sim is the one with which you most identify.<\/p>\nJack of All Trades<\/strong>
\nThe Jack of All Trades is a good main Sim (you\u2019ll later need its Repair skill at the Pawn Shop). Play him or her first, building up skill levels as rapidly as possible. Once fishing, repairing, and cooking are level 5, you can save, quit and move to the next Sim.<\/p>\nPower Seeker<\/strong>
\nYour second Sim is your Power Seeker. Fish until you have $5000 and tool around town until you have the option to upgrade your house twice and buy the most expensive TV, stereo, and stove. Furniture and home upgrades simply take time. This is a good opportunity to accumulate general Goals.<\/p>\nAt this point, you should have most of the 55 general Goals.<\/p>\n
The Other Sim Types<\/strong>
\nSleaze, Nice Guy, Jerk, and Maniac have fairly easy Personal Goals. The order in which you complete them does not matter. At this point, you should have almost all of the Personal Goals. If not, keep playing – they\u2019ll eventually show up.<\/p>\nWishes vs Goals<\/strong>
\nAll Goals begin their lives as Wishes. You can choose to either leave a wish as a wish or turn it into a goal. Once it is a goal, you can\u2019t change your mind. Be careful – wishes will appear when you are in the middle of doing something else and you can turn them into goals very easily. I\u2019ve done that several times when I didn\u2019t mean to. You can accomplish a goal when it is still just a wish and it counts as accomplishing a goal. But if you leave a wish as a wish (example: Catch 15 fish) and miss finishing it, you will have to start from scratch when it comes back around. If you\u2019ve already caught 15 fish and this goal pops up, you must catch 15 more fish to accomplish it. If you get the goal \u201cGet a better couch\u201d and you already have the best couch, you will have to sell that couch (or if you have more than 1 sell them all), buy the crappy couch and then buy the better couch again. It\u2019s a waste of money, but don\u2019t worry there is a way to make $500 without doing anything. Keep reading.<\/p>\nGoal Tips<\/strong>
\nDo NOT lock in a goal if you are not ready to accomplish it! Once a wish has been locked in as a goal the only way to remove it from the goals list is to accomplish it. I\u2019ve gotten myself into a situation where I had 4 goals locked in that I couldn\u2019t accomplish right away and missed a couple of wishes that would have been easy to do but just take more time than is given for a wish. If you skip over a wish, it will come back around again and you can make it a goal then – or just accomplish it as a wish.<\/p>\nAs previously mentioned, you will need to complete every Goal to unlock the Pawn Shop. Of the 73 total Goals, 55 randomly appear as Wishes, no matter which Sim class you choose, and they\u2019re generally easy to complete. Once completed, they will re-appear as goals. You don\u2019t have to do them again unless you want to. On the other hand, each Sim\u2019s Personal Goals are relatively difficult. As previously mentioned, you\u2019ll need to create at least six Sims, one of each type. For the optimal path through the game, you should complete their personal goals from hardest to easiest.<\/p>\n
You don\u2019t have to lock in a wish as a goal. You can just tap the red x and it will appear as a \u201cCurrent Wish\u201d as opposed to an \u201cActive Goal\u201d and it will eventually disappear. You may be prompted to \u201cCatch a Salmon\u201d before you \u201cBuy a fishing kit\u201d. Once you accomplish the 55 goals for all Sims they will continue to appear as Wishes. If you want to lock them in as Goals, go ahead but you don\u2019t have to. If you aren\u2019t sure if you\u2019ve accomplished a goal, don\u2019t lock it in and go to the main menu and check the \u201cGoals Checklist\u201d list to see if you\u2019ve accomplished it. If you have accomplished it, you can ignore it or make it a goal by tapping the Wishes<\/p>\n
Repairing<\/em>: (you\u2019ll later need its Repair skill at the Pawn Shop). As you accumulate electronics they will start to break. Wait until you get the \u201cBuy repair kit\u201d, if you can, to start repairing. That goal usually pops up before your electronics start breaking, but not always. As you accumulate money, buy as many of the cheapest stereos you can afford, filling your house. Each time you enter the house to eat or rest, turn them all on. Eventually, they will start breaking down, allowing you to practice repairing.<\/p>\nCooking<\/em>: Practicing cooking is easy \u2013 simply buy bread, cheese, and the Grilled Cheese recipe and make it over and over again. Or Ham & Eggs (3 ingredients – bread, ham, eggs). If you choose Grilled Cheese you will eventually have to sell your recipe in order to complete that goal.<\/p>\nFishing<\/em>: Learn to fish, because fishing is the best way to make money. But you either have to wait until you get the goal of \u201cBuy fishing kit\u201d or at some point sell your fishing kit to get this goal. If you don\u2019t get the \u201cCatch a catfish\u201d goal early I found it is harder to catch them at the higher levels. You can either start a new Sim or be patient.<\/p>\nGardening<\/em>: You won\u2019t be able to Garden until you upgrade to the 2nd level house. You get 4 plots. Then on the 3rd level house you get 6 plots. This is a good way to say money – by growing, tomatoes, peppers, corn, and carrots. Also, if you choose to work at the Laboratory you will need to advance in Gardening in order to get a promotion.<\/p>\nIf you need the \u201cBuy XXX\u201d goal but you already have XXX, then try selling it. Eventually the Goal should appear as a Wish. Lock it in and repurchase the item.<\/p>\n
If you need the \u201cGain a skill point at XXX\u201d goal and you\u2019re maxed out, switch to a Sim that is not maxed out. It is best to take it slow at first.<\/p>\n
You will eventually need to meet every Sim in town to accomplish all of your goals. Wait until you get the \u201cMeet a new Sim\u201d goal to meet all the Townie Sims. This is not hard as Bernie is a bit of a recluse and you have to go to his house to meet him. Do NOT go past Friends if you are considering a Romance with a specific Townie Sim. Once you become Good Friends you can not have a Romance. Keep at least one Townie Sim as an Acquaintance until you get the \u201cBefriend a Sim\u201d goal.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re having trouble Meeting all Sims, double-check all of the houses at different times of the day. I\u2019ve noticed Bernie can be hard to find. Most Sims are sleeping in the middle of the night \u2013 try breaking into their houses, waking them up, and meeting them. If you hang out at the lake, eventually the Townie Sims will show up there. Even Bernie will make a rare appearance.<\/p>\n
Romancing the Sim<\/em>: In order to advance in the game you will eventually have to have a Romance. The Sims are equal opportunity lovers – they don\u2019t care if you are male or female. If you have gone past Friend, you can\u2019t start a Romance with that Sim. You must either choose a different Sim or annoy the Sim until they Dislike you, and them become their friend again and start a \u201cBudding Romance.\u201d You don\u2019t have to live with a Sim to be a partner or be married to them. If you want to start a love affair with a Sim that has a partner (and not annoy that partner) you will have to do it outside of their house.<\/p>\nIf you need to befriend a Sim but you\u2019re already friends with all of the Sims, start a new Sim or insult a Sim until it becomes an enemy, then befriend him or her.<\/p>\n
The best way to annoy, insult, and creep-out other Sims is to find a house with two Sims (e.g. Marcell and Theresa), barge in, and start flirting with one of them. Both will be creeped out and annoyed, and the flirting will insult the other and make him or her jealous. If that doesn\u2019t work, start using their toilet, shower, and fridge.<\/p>\n
Tips and Tricks<\/strong>
\nFishing is the best way to make money. Each tuna sells at QuickMart for $100, and salmon for $65.<\/p>\nBesides the Pawn Shop, working at the Town Hall is the best. It\u2019s easy to get promotions (both Ruth and the Town Hall are nearby) and you just need to be friends with everyone in town. As Vice President, you can make $300 per day.<\/p>\n
Creating romantic relationships is easy. It sounds rude, but keep pestering the Sim with Flirt, Tender Embrace, Hot Smooch, and WooHoo. You should be able marry a Sim within two conversations.<\/p>\n
Too many WooHoos and your Sim will die! Don\u2019t overdo it in the bedroom!<\/p>\n
If you get married, give your spouse a phone call and invite him or her over. Once your spouse arrives, you can invite him or her to move in. The advantage to having a Sim in the house with you is there is always some one with whom you can have a conversation.<\/p>\n
Since the Town Hall is right by your house, it\u2019s the best job until the Pawn Shop is open.<\/p>\n
If you don\u2019t mind cheating there is a quick way to get $500. When you are in your Sim that is short on cash tap the Menu Button in the lower left hand corner (the (…) button), tap on \u201cHelp & About\u201d, tap on \u201cGardening Tips\u201d and then give your iPhone a good shake. You can do this over and over and over. Just don\u2019t over do on your Power Seeker Sim it until you\u2019ve reached the $1,000 and $5,000 goals.<\/p>\n
If you are Hungry or Tired or have to go to the bathroom and don\u2019t think you can make it home there is a way around this problem. Just take a nap at someone else’s house or raid their fridge or use their bathroom. Or tap the Menu Button in the lower left hand corner (the (…) button), tap the \u201cSave and Quit to menu\u201d button, and then restart your Sim. This will automatically take you to your home where you sleep, eat, or do whatever it is you need to do.<\/p>\n
