IF YOU ALREADY KNOW THE BASICS PLEASE START AT 6 AND GO ON BECAUSE 1-5 ARE FOR 
BEGINNERS...THNX

  1.How Do I Start???
 
 Ok,when you first start to play The Sims Deluxe Edition it's like..."What do I 
do?"...right?You have to first learn how to play the game.That's why they created a 
house for you in the first neighborhood.It's a tutorial and no you can't buy that 
house even though I have no clue why you would want a house like that in the first   
place cas I sure wouldn't especially when I can create an even better one.After you 
go to the tutorial and learn how to play the basic steps you then are going to want 
to start your first family.So then you go on top and go to creating/moving a family.

   2.Creating A Family
 
 Now when you are creating a family you have to rememeber to make them perfect your 
first time because if you save your family you can't change thier statistics after 
you create them.Now I don't go for the perfect name because then it wouldn't be a 
fun game.Ok it would be but it adds a little more spice to it:) NOw the first thing 
you do is give them a last name.(Remember the people in your family can be gay or 
lesbians)Aftre they get a last name go to add new sim.Then give his/her first 
name.The you're gonna have to design what the person looks like.After you do that 
you have to give em' a personality.WARNING:You have a limited amount of points so 
use them wisely.If you give your person alot of points for neatness then they are 
really going to be neat or if you give them very little points for activeness then 
they'll be very lazy!After that you can add more people if you want.

  3.Moving In A Family

 When you move in a family it means you're giving them a house.You're not going to 
be getting the big houses in the begining...unless you read the cheats section...so 
keep reading on.When you pick your small house some of them have roofs and things in 
em' and some don't.If you're going to build a house then you're going to have to use 
your $$$money$$$ wisely.To learn more about building got to building mode.
 
  4.Modes

 Now if you're wonderin what modes are...they are what kind of game youare 
playing.The three different ones are live...buy...and build mode.

  a.Live Mode

 Live mode is where you're playing the person.You can play any person in your sim 
household.But you can't play your neighbors.Your sim can play games, play with their 
pet, eat, sleep, and even flirt with people.To switch to a new person you click on 
live mode on the bottom left corner and then click on the persons face.Or you can 
also press the space bar.
  
 *needs

 HUNGER:Your sims get hungry everyday....it's a human thing.So what you're going to 
need is..duh,a refrigerator.On the refrigerator there are a certain amount of points 
that it highers on your hunger meter.Try to keep it full all day...it really helps 
to do that especially if you work.But you can also call for pizza,which I love!:)!

 COMFORT:Now this is a very important thing if you want your sim to find a job or a 
new one...to study...or to practice charisma and all that other stuff because 
they're depressed.Some things you can do are ...sit...sleep...take a bath...or 
nap.Some items you'll need are couches,beds,baths,chairs,etc.<<>>Some of the 
other items such as toilets higher the comfort level.

 HYGIENE:If your rate is low this means you smell or are dirty.SOOOOOOO...TAKE A 
SHOWER!!!!!Or you can also wash your hands in a sink which is the cheapest way but 
not quite the best.

 BLADDER:Bladder is your need to use the bathroom.SO youll need to get a toilet.If 
your sim is in a home with more than one person or with a person that's not their 
friend yet then you'll need to get a seperate room just like for the shower.

 ENERGY:Now to do practically anything you'll need to sleep or take a nap on the 
couch!!!Or you can drink what I love to drink with alot of sugar...COFFEE or an 
ESPRESSO(which gives you more of a kick than coffee)

 FUN:Everyone knows what to do to have fun.But for more of the boring people I'll 
tell you...watch the T.V....play games...go on the computer...read...play 
sports...or swim.There's millions of ways to have fun...you just have to make time 
for it.In my experience I think you should get a game room and just put all kinds of 
fun things in there.

 SOCIAL:This is something that alot of people probably do in class...TALK TALK 
TALK.IT's fun but you have to make sure you have time.If you don't have time to 
invite someone over...just call them up on the phone.Talk to your house mates if you 
need some highering of friendship or social points.

 ROOM:Just like almost everyone else who isn't gothic...sims like big rooms with 
lights such as lamps or windows.Also,put paintings or plants and other decorations 
in your room and other rooms in the house.But whatever you do...DONT LEAVE DURTY 
DISHES ON THE FLOOR OR BROKEN ITEMS....ITS A BIG NO NO!!!\

  *what they need and don't need

 Your sims...just like you...need all of the needs(from above) everyday.But what I'm 
talking about in this section are items and the building structure of the house.Now 
alot of people think that they don't need showers and bath tubs...well guess 
what!...YOU DO!!!!!!And the more money the item is...the more points it will give 
your sim.Here's a list of the things you need...

1.A refrigerator
2.A bed
3.A couch or chair(something to sit on)
4.A bath tub or shower or a sink
5.A toilet
6.Some sort of light or windows
7.Garbage can

If there are any more things that you really need please update me on them.

The games and other fun things you can do you sometimes need it...(it fills your fun 
skills)but remember...don't spend sooooo much money on things you don't really need.

  *skills

 All together there are 6 skills your sim can have all together.They 
are...cooking...mechanical...charisma...body...logic...and creativity.Now depending 
on your job you'll need the skills to be as high as possible.Here are some things 
you can do to boost those skills up...

COOKING:read a book from the shelf...thats really all

MECHANICAL:read a book from the shelf...or work at the workbench

CHARISMA:practice speaking in front of the mirror

BODY:swim in the pool...or work out on an exercise machine

LOGIC:use the chemistry set and mak a potion...play chess

CREATIVITY:play some sort of instrument such as the guitar or piano...paint

  *activity

 You can move your sim anywhere you want.But don't forget they do move by themselves 
too.Most of the items in your house have a command you can give your sim.For 
example...if you want your sim to use the bathroom all you have to do is make sure 
your on the sim you want to do the command(should have a green thing above them)then 
click on the toilet and there should be a few commands and then click use the 
bathroom.After that they should go to the bathroom if they aren't stubborn and they 
need to.You can give up to eight commands at once.And if you don't want your sim to 
do a command you told them to do and they aren't already doing it...all you have to 
do is look up on the top left corner and click on the command you want to cancel.If 
you put your clicker over the command on the top left corner and you dont clck 
anything...it will tell you what you told your sim to do.

Sometimes when the simis in the action of walking to the object they were commanded 
to do...there is sometimes an object in its way so you would want to move it.

  *bubbles
        and conversation

 When a sim has to do somethings such as needs they will have a bubble above 
them.That's how they communicate with each other and with you.If a sim is talking 
with another sim and they're having a nice conversation they will have the bubbles 
going on and on putting different pictures inside of the bubbles and they will keep 
on talking.But if they get mad with each other the picture will be crossed out(most-
likely)and they will make a discusted sound.When the sims have to use the bathroom 
or take a shower they will have a picture of that item in thier bubble.If they want 
to play or go have a fun they would have a bubble above them with a basketball rim 
or a skateboard or somethings fun.Don't just ignore these bubbles........make your 
sim happy and do what they need or your sim will grow to be an unhappy and miserable 
person.

 *getting a job and actually working

 Getting a job isn't as easy as it sounds.I recomend getting one when you first 
start your sims new life.If you don't then you will have no money to pay for food or 
a computer and all of the stuff the sim really needs and he will be unhappy.If your 
sim is unhappy and he is like that before you get him a job......then I wish you 
luck because it's hard getting the sim a job if he/she doesn't feel like looking 
because they are too depressed.Now after you finally get a job you have to go to 
work.So that means no late parties and stuff like that because you need to higher 
your needs so you are prepared for work.Don't go to bed late so you won't have any 
energy and make sure you feed them.Give them showers and let them use the bathroom 
everyday.And don't forget to call other sims on the phone for social needs and to 
have fun.

 *neighbors

 I know alot of you think that some of your neighbors are a little crazy or 
annoying......in this game you choose if you want nice neighbors.If you want nice 
neighbors you shopuild become friends with them and may even start a family with 
them.The other sim neighbors are the sim families that you create and the ones that 
you get automatically.So if you happen to see a sim that you made walking down your 
street..........you'll know why.

 *disasters

 Your sim families may accounter alot of problems such as moving out or moving in or 
getting married.Alot of these can be prevented.Also, if you are broke out of money 
and don't have enough to feed the family......they may die.If opne of the kids in 
the family is keeping his/her grades down to an F and are not improving them then 
they'll be shipped to miliatry school and you will never see them again and you'll 
then have to pay 1000 dollars to pay for their school education!!!Alot of burglaries 
occur so you might want to get an alarm for that and also an alarm for fires.If your 
problems are moving out and divorsement then all you have to do is prevent your sim 
from slapping or abusive actions.Also,pay attention to the other sims around you.

 *career courses and needs

 If you really want a job instead of becoming a superstar...ITS FINE WITH ME!..but 
you can't be both.So here's the career ladder.The first job in each section is the 
starting job and the rest are the promotions.I am trying my best tog et all of 
them...so...BE PATIENT!

WELL THAT'S ALL I HAVE...IF YOU HAVE ANYMORE PLEASE TELL ME AND I SHALL GIVE YA 
CREDIT!

When your climbing up the career ladder 
you will be needing some needs in order to get a promotion. Here they are and some 
ways to get ‘em.

Cooking:to higher this one all you have to do is read a book on cooking!!!

Mechanical:THIS ONE IS ALSO PRETTY EASY……all you need to do is read a book or TRY to 
fix something such as the shower.

Charisma:to higher this you can get a mirror and practice your speech.

Body:you can swim in the pool for this one or exercise on the 

Logic:to do this you can practice on the chemistry set or the woodcutting kit.

Creativity:for this one you can play the piano or the guitar…or you can do something 
that’s fun!!!

HINT:To see what skills you need for your job go to live mode and then click on the 
character and go under job by the mood bar…and then look at the skills and if it has 
a white line under it that’s what you need for your job…if the line is under one 
then it should have a second line coming out from the end(that’s up to how many 
points you need)

 *death and the Grim Reaper

 Yes, your Sim can die. But if you take care of the perons’ needs and make enough 
money for food you should be alright.But if that time comes and you do die and 
someone is there you can play paper scissors rocks.If you win and the grim reaper is 
in a happy mood then you’r fellow family or roommate live but if you lose they go
(that’s if he’s 
In a bad mood)

 *lady in the attic

 Have you adopted a baby or had a baby and aren't taking care of it?When the lady 
comes to take the baby away you can have your own lil' woman pet for a 
while......not for ever though cas she beams herself up out of the room.All you have 
to do is when she comes build a wall byu the door of the room the baby is in after 
she gets in the room of course and you'll have your own lil' gremilon lady in the 
attic or room.

(I GOT MOST OF THESE FROM CHEATCODES.COM AROUND THE SITE SO IF YOU SEE THESE 
SOMEWHERE ELSE ON THE SITE...I GOT IT FROM THERE)


WARNING:WHEN YOU DO THIS WAIT A DAY AFTER YOU GET ANY SKILL POINTS 
AND MAKE SURE YOU SAVE IT BEFORE YOU DO THIS CODES
 
6.What so fun about this expansion pack is.......

OK i know you guys think oh my god.......another expansion pack that i hear is so 
awesome but 30 dollars!Well i thought that too but when I started playing I thought 
it was worth it.You get totally new and awesome items.....more skins (and hey the 
heads they have are funny).....all kinds of new things on build mode.....and 
outrageous careers!Now that's just a few things that they have thats new.In this 
expansion pack you can become a superstar.......sing,act,entertain,and even walk 
down the runway.....but its not going to be easy.You have to have alot of skill 
points but it'll be fun.

7.Becoming?

 OK...your whole goal in this game is to become what mostly everyone wants to 
become.....A SUPERSTAR!The only way to become one is to go through steps make 
friends get skill points and have fun.But don't forget to let people admire you.


8.Star Levels

 You might be asking what star levels are...well they are the different levels that 
you have to go through to become a superstar!Now NOw NOw you didn't think it would 
be that easy...did you?Well I'm sorry but you do and it won't be easy...BUT FUN!I 
have the regular ones that they say on the game and then my version of them...they 
might be just a little mean I don't have all of them mainly because I haven't been 
playing as much because it got corrupted by a power-out so I had to start all 
over...HERE THEY ARE!...

Level 1...NOBODY!...(game version)

 The lights!The cameras!The adoration!Maybe someday, but for now you're just a 
little stain on the big sheet that is Studio Town.Figure out an obnoxious way to get 
noticed or the show WON'T go on!

 Woah!You really need help because you're nobody...for now!No one even notices you 
and if you're lucky you might even get a famous friend (which you won't) and they 
are not nice!So if you don't start filling up your charisma and creative skills then 
you're going nowhere.Oh yeah did I mention you're nobody?!


TO BE CONTINUED...................................
