Overview: A100

This guide assumes that you are playing in Single Player in the Story Mode. 

You can play using two players if desired and instead of one Sim you will have two Sims, but you will only be fulfilling the Gold and Platinum Wants for Player One, also you can switch to Single Player mode once you have started the game with two players and both Sims will be controllable by player one.

There are 12 locations in the game, 4 are bonus lots. When you move to a new location, have a look around to see if there's any objects you need to buy (extra beds/toilets etc). Make sure there is a Phone and a Smoke Alarm. Items that are already in the houses that you move to cannot be sold, you can delete them if you want though. 

There is a Fire Meter, which governs how many items or building is permitted. Buy or Build too much and you'll get frequent fires and you will be unable to buy or build more once the Fire Meter has reached its maximum.

You can sell any items that you have bought whilst living in a location though as you will not be reimbursed for them when you move, but you may just leave them as you might want to return and there is a good chance that the Fire Meter will be locked at maximum.

You can also marry one of the Sims in the game and then that Sim will becomes controllable and will accompany you to all of the other locations in the game.  You may also have two Sims of the same gender marry if that is what you want.

To marry a Sim, make sure that both Sims are in a good mood and then use the "propose" social which usually appears once the two Sims are in love.

Also you can marry additional Sims after the first one, but any Sim that you marry after the first Sim will not accompany you when you move. To have more than one Sim married to someone, switch to the other Sim and have them do the proposing.

<<<+=+=+=>>>

Control Modes: B100

The Sims 2 uses two modes for controlling Sims, Classic Control Mode as well as Direct Control Mode and one switches between Classic and Direct modes by using the Select button.

In Classic Control Mode you don't control your Sims as much as you control what you want them to interact with by choosing it with the cursor. The main advantage with Classic Control mode is that one can queue up several actions for the Sim, leave him or her to them and switch to another Sim.

In Direct Control Mode you control your Sims directly and you just have them walk up what you want them to interact with and then choose an interaction.

In most circumstances it doesn't matter all that much which control mode you are using, however in order to cook special meals and in order to use the Metal Detector you must use Direct Control.

In general just use whatever control mode you like and when you need to use Direct Control I will note that.

<<<+=+=+=>>>

Creating a Sim: C100

When you begin the game you start by generating a female Sim or a male Sim. Once you have generated a Sim you can customize your Sim or you can choose to generate another Sim instead.

Once you have generated a Sim that you decide to keep, you then are in Create-a-Sim,  where you finish creating your Sim. The first thing you see is a vertical list of symbols, Body, Fashion, Aspiration, Personality and lastly Name

Body, here you can customize the body and change their physical characteristics if you want. Next is Fashion, here you can change what they are wearing if you like, note that some of the fashion items are locked, you have to unlock them later in the game before you can use them.

If you want, you can play through the game as an alien Sim. During the Create-A-Sim process, you can keep randomly generating a Sim until one of the ancestors is an Alien or jus accept the default female or male Sim, then go to Body, then Skin Tone. Cycle through the various Skin tones until you get the green alien skin - your Sim will even have the grey alien eyes.

You can also change your Sims eyes, nose, and mouth shapes in Morph Head if you want them to look half alien/half human. Or if you want you can make them half Alien with human like hair.

NOTE: The alien outfits will only be available in Fashions if you've unlocked them in Story Mode. (Gain 100 Relationship Points with XHT-F and XY-XY at the Alien Crash Site to do this).


C101 Aspirations:

In the Aspiration section you need to choose an Aspiration, and this is your Sims's Life Goal.

There are 5 different Aspirations: Romance, Wealth, Knowledge, Popularity and Creativity.

Aspirations are the life's goal of a particular Sim. Which Aspiration you choose will determine what your basic Wants and Fears will be in the game. Choose wisely as this characteristic can not be changed one you have started playing. 

According to my experience the Romance, Wealth, and Knowledge Aspirations are easy, while the Popularity Aspiration is difficult, with the Creativity Aspiration an unknown at this point.

<<<+=+=+=>>>
Romantic Sims want to start out in the Fashion Career and they will have a Platinum Want near the end of the game that consists of them doing Woohoo with a lot of Sims, this is not hard at all to achieve.

I donÕt know how many Sims one needs to woohoo with exactly, but since I had woohoo with 16 Sims the Platinum Want did not appear, so I am thinking that one most likely needs to woohoo with 15 different Sims.

<<<+=+=+=>>>
Wealth Oriented Sims want to start out in the Business Career and they will have a Platinum Want near the end of the game that I am sure consists of them having lots money.

This Platinum Want is easy to achieve if you just have the other Sims that you control get a job which is what I do and I have always had the maximum amount of money by the end of the game, there is more on this in the rest of the Walkthrough.

<<<+=+=+=>>>
Knowledge Oriented Sims want to start out in the Science Career and they will have a Platinum Want near the end of the game that I am sure consists of them Maxing all Skills, which is having all of their skills at 10.

This Platinum Want is easy to achieve just work on of your SimÕs Skills and get them all to 10. You will want to do this anyway to get 100% as you need to complete all of the Careers for 100%.

<<<+=+=+=>>>
Popularity Oriented Sims want to start out in the Politics Career and they will have a Platinum Want near the end of the game that consists of them having 20 Friends.

This Platinum Want is difficult to achieve in my opinion. Not impossible, but certainly it can be difficult.

<<<+=+=+=>>>
Creative Sims want to start out in the Art Career and they will have a Platinum Want near the end of the game, but I am not sure what it might be at this point. I am going to try to answer this question in my next update. If someone does know the answer please email me with about it.

<<<+=+=+=>>>

In the game different Sims will have different aspirations depending on what their life's goal is. A Sim's Aspiration will  determine what the particular wants and fears that Sim has, the wants and fears may change on a daily basis when the Sim wakes up from sleep or a nap. 

In order to progress in the game one has to fulfill the Gold or Platinum Wants of each Sim that has one of these. Fulling the Gold and Platinum wants will lead you further into the game and unlock new locations. 

Each Sim has green wants that just give you aspiration points and there are fears as well for each Sim.

Fulfilling the Wants of any Sim gives you aspiration points while a Fear gives you negative aspiration points. Aspiration points allows you to unlock items, so if you want to unlock items faster pay attention to all of the Wants for the various Sims in the game even if they are not Gold wants. 

Once you have a  cumulative aspiration points of 27,900 points, you will  have unlocked all the 50 items. 

<<<+=+=+=>>>

Motives: D100

There are eight basic Motives. The box will change color from green to light orange to red and black when completely empty.

To know the basic Motives: Press the left button and Square if you need details.

Social Interaction: Ensure that the Sim has enough interaction with other Sims. Sims need to interact with others and have friends. If the bar is completely empty, the Sim may show signs of depression and cry a lot.
 
Bladder: If a Sim does not go to the toilet in time, the Sim will wet themselves.

Shower: Sims need to have regular baths, otherwise swarms of flies will surround them and other Sims will avoid them.

Hunger: Sims need to eat in order to survive.

Fun: Sims need to have fun. Watch TV, play on the computer,etc.

Energy: Sims need to rest. Either sleep on a bed or power nap on a couch

Comfort: Rest on a bed or a couch or comfy chair.

Room: Sims need to live in a clean environment. Clean the toilet bowls, bathtubs, any puddles of water and clear all used plates or they will give out a repulsive smell marked by some green smoke. Also take out the trash once the wastebasket is full. Call the maid. It is $10/- per hour.

<<<+=+=+=>>>

Career & Skill: E100

You will need money in this game and getting a job is what you have to do. To get a job, simply pick up a newspaper then find a job or buy a computer and look for a job.

The newspaper will only give you three job selections while the computer will display five job selections.

Different careers will require different skills. You will be fired if you miss work two days in a row. If that happens, you will be demoted back two levels in that career. To avoid being fired simply change careers before you receive the call that you are fired. 

Once you have reached level 10 in a career you need to change careers get to level 10 in that career until you have completed all 10 careers in the game.

It is a good idea to start with Fashion or Art since these two careers require the most friends and once you have reached level 10 in one of them then it is a good idea to get a job in the other one. Once these two careers are finished it is a good idea to get a job in Politics as this is the next most demanding career in terms of friends required. Then the next one should be Medicine and after that it doesn't matter all that much.

Skill:

Skill items can be found in the Buy Catalog. Press the Start button and select buy catalog. Go to Skill Objects. Scroll to each object and details regarding the price and the skills it will improve will be given. 

Cooking - gain points by cooking or study cooking by reading a book 
Mechanical - buy the work bench or study mechanical by reading a book 
Charisma - buy a mirror or write a Blog on th computer 
Body - there is an weight-lifting bench, a punch bag, and a wheel. 
Logic - Play chess or view a telescope or create a game on the computer 
Creative - Paint, play the piano or guitar, buy bonsai plant and prune it 
Cleaning - Perform cleaning tasks or study cleaning by reading a book

Basically just refer to the items in the Skill Objects and select one that will improve the required skill. 

More Expensive Skill Items raise the applicable skill faster and for each skill the most expensive skill item will raise one's applicable skill the fastest. So it is a good idea to buy the most expensive skill item that you can afford.

For example the Rat Race Executive Power Wheel increases Body skill the fastest, next fastest is the Fists of Spite Punching Bag and the slowest to increase your Body skill is the Exerto-Self-Spot Exercise Machine.

<<<+=+=+=>>>
Socializing: F100

Sims need friends to not only to keep their Social Needs bar full but also to help them progress through their careers. All of the careers require a Sim to have a certain amount of friends before they can get promoted. There are a lot of Sims in this game and making friends (and keeping them) can seem a bit of a chore. When interacting with a Sim, the Sim you are controlling will either gain, or lose, Relationships Points with them.

It's important that your Sim is in a good mood when interacting with other Sims. Keep your Sim happy by fulfilling their Needs (Press Left on the D-pad to see your Sims Needs bars). When their Needs Bars are full, most Sims will be happy to interact and will also do so for longer. Sims that visit your house will usually head straight for the bathroom to use the toilet. If you want them to stay for longer so you can make friends with them you should serve a meal so they can eat, then get them to watch TV with your Sim or sit on a sofa together. This will raise the visiting Sims Needs Bars and they will be more likely to interact with your Sim for longer.

Gain over 40 Relationship Points for Friend status with a Sim, and over 70 for Best Friend status. Once you've gained a new friend make sure you call them on the phone to chat or chat with them on the computer or invite them over regularly. If you don't interact with your Sim friends you will slowly lose Relationship Points with them and eventually lose them as a friend. You can check which friends you have and your Relationship status with them by pressing START and going to the Relationship Panel. 

You will need to interact and make friends here. In order to socialize,  simply select the Sim you wish to interact with and pick a social move. 

<<<+=+=+=>>>
Cooking: G100

Cooking in Sims 2 works best if you are using Direct Control Mode.

Go to the Fridge and there are several options such as:

Get food ingredients

Select this option to only prepare food for you only. The ingredient list will pop-up.

Get Group Meal Food Ingredients

Select this and it will prepare a meal serving more than two people. The ingredient list will pop-up

Get Generic Food Ingredients

Select this and the ingredient list won't appear and the Sim will just grab a bowl of food.

Once you have obtained the food from the fridge, depending on what you are making either head for the counter, the blender or the stove or eat it without cooking it.

When using the fridge you can see what recipes you have unlocked so far and additional Recipes are unlocked as detailed below:

To get energy boost effect: Select ingredients with high energy content 

Nauseous meal: Green stuff coming from the food means you have just created a nauseous meal which can have a nauseous effect like instant vomiting. For a nauseous meal: Use fish especially eel and squid

Samoses {will make nausea meal}

Romantic Meal: Pink hearts mean that when you interact with someone, you will be in love mode. Therefore, romantic socials will be enabled for you to use.

Main Walkthrough: H100 
***************************************************************************

Location: Rockwell Acres
Residents: Felicity & Ossie

This is where you start the game after creating your Sim. Felicity and Ossie cannot be controlled (unless you marry one of them) so you only have to take care of your own Sim. Your Sims Gold Wants here are very easy to complete.

You might want to try out the 2 control methods, Classic and Direct, In Classic Control you have a green square which you move around to highlight objects and Sims and you can stack commands in a queue. 

In Direct Control there is no cursor and you cannot line up multiple commands. I generally switch back and forth between the two control modes using Direct for cooking, interacting with other Sims and when it seems desirable otherwise and I use Classic Control when it seems desirable otherwise. You should use what ever combination is best for you, except that there are some circumstances where Direct Control is required and I will inform you if this is the case.

Your Sims Gold Wants:

1.) Fill Hygiene Need:

Go to the bathroom Take a Shower.

2.) Use Trampoline: 

Highlight the Trampoline in the back garden and select 'Jump'.

3.) Meet Someone New:

When Felicity & Ossie arrive home socialize with one of them.

4.) Get a New Friend: 

Socialize with Felicity or Ossie and gain over 40 Relationship Points with them to Get a New Friend.

5.) Use 'Talk' Social on a Sim:

Socialize with Felicity or Ossie and use the Talk social

6.) Take Out Trash:

Clean up one of the piles of trash in the house.

7.) Platinum Want: Buy a Single Bed Worth at Least $50, 

Go to the Buy Catalog and buy one of the single beds.


Fulfilling the Platinum Want unlocks the next location.

However you should not move until you have reached 100 Relationship Points with both Felicity & Ossie, this is so that you can unlock each of their Fashions which you need to do in order to get 100%.

Optionally Since you may be here for a little while, you can use the newspaper or buy a computer and get a job to earn some money. Also you might want to hire a maid to clean up for you.

When I play the game I get married to Felicity, so that I can control her and have another Sim with me to help out. However this is entirely optional and you might want to marry Ossie or wait to marry one of the other Sims or not marry anyone, it is all up to you.

Also another Gold Want has appeared, 'Visit a New Location', this will be automatically fulfilled when you move.

<<<+=+=+=>>> <<<+=+=+=>>>

Location: Shoreline Trails
Residents: Farah, Timmy, and Torin.

Your first opportunity to control another Sim, Farah if you didn't marry Ossie or Felicity. You can switch between Sims by pressing the appropriate button. You can find out the name of the Sim you are controlling and their Personality Traits by pressing START and going to the Careers, Skills, & Personality menu. Farah is unemployed so you don't have to worry about sending her to work. She doesn't have any Gold Wants to be fulfilled either so you can just concentrate on your own Sim if you want.

Note: When I play the game I want it to last as long as possible, so I have Farah get a job in one of the careers and I get her promoted to level 10 in that career, it is not a requirement in order to get 100% though you will get more money sooner this way.

Farah wants to get a job in Art, but this is optional.

You should also make sure that your spouse if you have one gets a job and gets promoted to level 10 eventually as this also ensures that you will have more money sooner.

There is also a weight bench in this location that you can use to gain all your Sims Body Skill Points and a chess set for gaining Logic Skill Points.

Your Sims Gold Wants:

1.) Get a Job:  {only appears if you don't already have a job}

If you don't already have a job, get your Sim a job by picking up the newspaper that's delivered every morning at 7 am and selecting the 'Find a Job' option and you can also search for a job by using a computer.

2.) Go to Work in (your chosen career):

The carpool arrives an hour before your Sim is due to start work. You can check your Sims hours of work and career status by pressing START and going to the Career, Skills, & Personality menu and it shows you what Skill Points you need and how many friends your Sim needs to gain a promotion. Always send your Sim to work in a good mood in order to get promoted.

3.) Gain a Skill Point.

Use a Skill Object to gain a Skill Point and it is also best to gain a skill point in a skill that is needed for your chosen career.

4.) Buy an Object.

Buy any object in the Buy Catalog, buy something that will be useful.

5.) Become Enemies With Torin

Use Threaten or Slap and become Enemies with Torin, but don't go too far and become Arch Enemies as you will want to be friends later.

6.) Reach Body Skill Level 3: 

You need to gain 3 Body Skill Points, go use the weightlifting bench at the back of the lot. 

7.) Perform Surf Trick:
 
Select the Surfing Simulator and select 'Surf'. This Want becomes easier to fulfill as you gain more Body Skill Points.

8.) Change Clothes:

There is a wardrobe in one of the bedrooms that you can use to change your Sim's outfit.

9.) Become friends with Timmy:

Socialize with Timmy and get your relationship points to at least 40.


Platinum Want: Beat Torin at Foosball

Buy the 'Tournament Foosball Table' in the Buy catalog in the Miscellaneous Menu - $800. 

Get your Sim to play on it and select the 'Call Over' option to get Torin to join you. Once you have beaten Torin on Foosball you will unlock the next location.

Note: Before you move you should make sure that you have 100 relationship points with Farah, Timmy and Torin so that you will get their fashions unlocked in order to get 100%

Once you have 100 relationship points with Farah, Timmy and Torin you may move on to the next location or you may stay longer and get Farah promoted to level 10 or you can always return here later.

<<<+=+=+=>>> <<<+=+=+=>>>

Location: Cliffside Retreat
Residents: Isabella, Patrizio, & Don

You now have multiple Sims to control as Isabella, Patrizio, and Don are all controllable. There's a few fruit trees and vegetable gardens outside that you can harvest food from and also an aquarium to harvest seafood from in this location. 

None of the three Sims living here are currently employed. Only Isabella has Gold Wants that need to be fulfilled to unlock the next location. 

I'd also recommend that you remove the wall separating the Kitchen from the lounge area and that you delete the Fireplace and replace it with a TV or a Stereo instead, this is to reduce to amount of fires.

Otherwise you should buy 2 Smoke Alarms, and place one in the kitchen, and the other in the lounge area where there's a fireplace. 

Watch the Fire code level and possibly delete some items so as to make sure that you buy what you need before staying at this location very long.

Since you have gold Wants as well as Isabella you can work on yours first and then work on hers or do as I recommend and switch back forth between each Sim that you control and work on each of them.

Your Sims Gold Wants:

1.) Use 'Talk' Social on Isabella.

2.) Buy a Dishwasher.

3.) Repair a Stove: go Repair the broken stove in the kitchen.

4.) Reach Level 3 in a Career {only appears if you are not level 3 or higher in your current career} 

Gain the Required skills and friends so as to be promoted to level 3 in your current career.

5.) Buy a Fire Extinguisher: in the Appliances Menu - $1000.

6.) Build Walls: You can build a fence to fulfil this want and that is what I do.

7.) Reach Level 4 in any Career: {only appears if you are not level 4 or higher in your current career} 

Make sure that you have the required Skills and the Required number of Friends in order to get promoted to level 4.

Platinum Want: Help Isabella - Switch to Isabella and fulfill all of her Gold Wants if you haven't already.

<<<+=+=+=>>> <<<+=+=+=>>>

Isabella's Gold Wants:

1.) Buy a Table.

Note: I buy the U-Probe-It Utility Desk and use it for computers

2.) Buy 3 Chairs.

Buy 2 chairs for the computer desk and 1 chair for the table outside.

3.) Gain a Cooking Skill Point.

Go over to one of the bookcases and select Study Cooking and have Isabella work on her cooking skill until she has gained a point.

4.) Harvest Squid from Aquarium: 

Go to the Aquarium and select Harvest.

5.) Make a Sandwich:

Use Direct Control mode and go to the fridge to get these ingredients: Beef, Onion, and Whole Wheat Flour. Now stand in front of the kitchen counter and select the 'Make Sandwich' option.

6.) Become Friends with Patrizio.

Have Isabella get to 40 relationship points or higher with Patrizio. Have her sit at the fire place with Patrizio or buy a tv and have her watch tv with Patrizio. Then have her socialize with him so that they are friends.

7.) Buy Ingredient Source:

From the Miscellaneous Menu in the Buy Catalog. Buy a "Frood" Tree or Vegetable Garden or Aquarium- now sell the item after the Want is fulfilled.

8.) Create a Group Meal:

Use Direct control at the fridge and select the 'Get Group Meal Ingredients' option. After choosing your ingredients, prepare the meal and then select the 'Serve Meal' option.

9.) Give Food to Patrizio - 

Using Direct Control Mode, select the group meal that you just served and then the 'Grab a Plate' option and then go up to Patrizio and select Food and then select the 'Give Food To' option.

If the food is gone from the group meal then select the fridge and then Get Ingredients and prepare a meal, then go up to Patrizio and select Food and then select the 'Give Food To' option.
   
That's all of Isabella's wants and you have now helped another Sim.

Once this Want is fulfilled the next location is unlocked.

Note: Before you move make sure that you have 100 relationship points with Isabella, Don Treadwell and Patrizio so that you will get their fashions unlocked in order to get 100%

Once you have 100 relationship points with Isabella, Don Treadwell and Patrizio you may move on to the next location or you may stay longer and get Isabella, Don Treadwell and Patrizio promoted to level 10.

I have Don get a job in Science since he already has max cooking skill and I get a Patrizio a job in Business and I get Isabella a job in whatever career I choose, sometimes in Art sometimes in something else.

 
<<<+=+=+=>>> <<<+=+=+=>>>

Location: HMS Amore
Residents: Nelson, Betty, & Hector

Betty & Hector are controllable and both have Gold Wants to be fulfilled. Fulfilling Betty's Gold Wants unlocks the next location and fulfilling Hector's Gold Wants unlocks the first bonus location.

Since you have gold Wants as well as Betty and Hector you can work on yours first and then work on theirs or do as I recommend and switch back forth between each Sim that you control and work on each of them.

Your Sims Gold Wants:

1.) Reach Level 5 in Any Career.

2.) Earn $250 - This should be fulfilled by sending your Sim to work.

3.) Change Clothes - you'll need to buy a wardrobe from the Miscellaneous Menu.

4.) Buy an Object Worth Over $350.

I recommend that you buy a computer or maybe two computers

5.) Buy a Blender.

6.) Reach Level 6 in Any Career. {only appears if you are not level 6 or higher in your current career} 

Make sure that you have the required Skills and the Required number of Friends in order to get promoted to level 6.

PLATINUM WANT: Help Betty fulfill her Gold Wants.

<<<+=+=+=>>> <<<+=+=+=>>>

Betty's Gold Wants:

1. Gain Charisma Point:

Have Betty blog on a computer if you bought one like I recommended or Buy a mirror from the Skill Menu and have Betty 'Practice Speaking' or 'Practice Kissing'

2. Become friends with Nelson:

This can take a while as Betty will likely start out being enemies or close to that with Nelson.

You can take several approaches, however if you first have Betty get Nelson in one of the hot tubs with her or have Betty get Nelson to watch TV with her it will help quite a bit.

After Betty has been in the hot tub with Nelson or watched TV with Nelson for a while, have Betty socialize with Nelson. It may take some effort, be patient and have Betty watch TV with Nelson some more or have Betty get Nelson in the hot tub with her some more.

3. Gain a Body Skill Point:

Go to the Skill section and Buy the Rat Race Executive Power Wheel and get Betty to use it. Or you may buy either the Fists of Spite Punching Bag or the Exerto-Self-Spot Exercise Machine instead.

Death & Ghosts

The most common way in which a Sim will die is by fire. Sims with low Cooking Skill are more likely to start a fire when using an oven than those with high cooking skill. Placing rugs near fireplaces can also cause fires to start.

Other ways in which Sims can die are:

Try and Repair a broken electrical item with no Mechanical Skill points.

Starvation - Not feeding Sims will lead them to a very slow death.

Repeatedly use the 'Cheat' option on  a Peppy Pete's Slots-A-Hopping
   .
Being repeatedly 'Haunted' by the ghosts of other Sims will lower a Sim's needs bars so much that they'll die.

When a Sim dies a silver urn will appear where they were standing. Urns can be deleted in Buy Mode or moved outside where they will change into headstones. Options available to live Sims by highlighting a headstone are Mourn, Eulogize and Dance - note a Sim may spontaneously be set on fire whilst dancing on a grave

Dead Sims change into ghosts which you can control in the same way you control live Sims. Ghosts float around and cannot interact with any objects or go to work. The Sim's needs bars will also go down by half and will not change any further once they are a ghost. However a ghost can interact with other Sims using Wail, Possess, Vomit, and Spook.

Haunting other Sims will lower their needs bars but is fun anyway. You can resurrect dead Sims at any time by highlighting the Grim Reaper, who will be lurking around near the front of the location, and selecting the 'Return to Life' or 'Fiddle Challenge' options. Returning to life will cost you $100. Win the Fiddle Challenge and the Grim Reaper will return your Sim to life for free.

<<<+=+=+=>>>

Alien Abductions

You have the chance to be abducted by Aliens in The Sims 2. If you want to get your Sim abducted by aliens, buy a Telescope from the Skill Menu and get them to 'Stargaze' starting after 7pm and just have them continue until their moods are too low and they stop.

When your Sim is abducted by aliens they will disappear for a while. When they come back they are dropped from the sky at the mailbox in the front of the lot and they will shake their fist at the unseen Alien Ship and then the Sim usually will run straight to the bathroom to vomit.

<<<+=+=+=>>>

Miscellaneous Notes:

Search a Couch:

Get your Sim to sit on a couch or sofa then select the 'Search Couch' option. You might find a Mysterious Zombie Monkey Paw, or some money or some food.

When not to chat or use the phone to call:

Do not try to begin a Chat on the computer between 12am and 5am and do not call a Sim on the phone after 11pm or before 6am.

What's up with The Urbz?

When using the Metal detector to search the ground you might find a copy of 'The Urbz: Sims in the City' - if you do the Sim will pick it up then throw it down again in disgust and stamp on it!


There are a couple of serious glitches in Sims 2:

Fire code Glitch:
Once you have been at a particular location for any length of time, the fire code will rise to the max and it won't go down even if you deleted or sold all of the items. So be sure to buy any items that you need to complete Gold Wants as soon as you can, otherwise you will be unable to buy anything. This Glitch Will Occur Eventually and there is no fix for this glitch.

Object in Use Glitch:
Sometimes an object will become unusable or partially unusable for no apparent reason. When this happens the object can not be moved or deleted. There is no fix for this glitch other than catching it and quitting and not saving.

Unusable Blender Glitch:
Sometimes the blender will become unusable for no apparent reason. When this happens the object can usually be deleted or sold and a new blender may be purchased unless the Fire Code glitch has occurred already.
