             8.Any additional questions
   
   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

 Ok...getting a job is easy but actually working isn't.You have to get the right 
amount of sleep and alll that other "good" stuff.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

 ok if anyone knows and actually understands the career ladder because I have no 
clue what it means……..so please put it in a complete and understanding career ladder…
thnx.

When your climbing up the career ladder in which I will hopefully be getting soon 
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.

 5.CHeats(really helpful!!!) THESE ARE ALL CHEATS FOR THE BOX IN THE TOP LEFT CORNER 
WHEN YOU PUSH SHIFT+C+CTRL

 rosebud;;,     gives you 200 simoleans...it says its not a cheat but it is
 
rosebud;!      keep typing in that until its full then on the last one put ;: then 
hold down eneter until it goes up to 99999990 or the most amopunt of money u can get 
then it should be unlimited

move_objects on     lets you move objects and the point of this cheat is to regain 
all of the green bars(hygiene etc.)all you do is do the shift+c+cntl and then type 
this code in and press enter and then go to buy mode and take your person and delete 
him/her then go to live mode and double click your sims picture and they should have 
full green bars...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

(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)

 6.warm...friends...love..marriage...babies!?

 OK since everyones been asking me so many questions bout love and 
stuff...........im gonna skip a few lessons for now.ok first of all...

WARM:NOw if you see someone walking down your street.....go greet him/her.After you 
start to know this person.Who knows, they could be your futeure husband or 
wife.AFter you start to talk to them you'll start getting warm and think that if 
this goes well.....they can be your new friend.

FRIENDS:NOw after the step of them getting warm is the step of friendship.If you are 
nice to the person and pay attention to them and how they feel then you two will 
become great friends.But if you ignore them or abuse them........then you two will 
become enemies.To see if the relationship will go well.........then see what you two 
are.(aries gemini etc)It will show you which symbols go great for you and which ones 
will not.

LOVE:After friendship is love.I recommend getting a jacuzzii room...it was the way 
that I got my first love.....of course in the game,he he,not in real life.IN the 
game me and my friend wanted the two roommates to fall in love.So we got an idea of 
making a jacuzzii room and it worked.We put all kinds of stuff in it such 
as.........well look at creatiing the rooms to start with......and you'll see.NOw to 
fall in love you guys should dance with each other)dont forget the radio to play 
music)tickle each other and give gifts to each other and all that other fun and 
romantic stuff.And after you guyz get a lil or alot closer......it will have the 
choice of kiss.I recommend kissing them if you want them to be lovers.Aftre they 
kiss and if they have a high enough score.......it wil l show a big heart.One or 
both of them will then fall in love.

MARRIAGE:Now for me and my friend kind of skipped this part but I have gotten cheats 
from other people and here they are...

First you have to have to people of the ooposite sex (or same sex if gay) meet 
each other and become friends.  As they become friends, they may fall in love 
and sometimes a commad that says "propose" will appear.  If yo uclick on that 
the Sim will get down on 1 knee and propose. If the person accepts, they will 
take the ring and the two Sims will change and get married. If the person 
declines, they will make an excuse and you will have to try again later. (If 
the couple is gay, the command will be  "move in" instead) The person that 
accepts the proposal will move in and lose their old last name and get the 
name of the household.

or another one is...

Soposedly you have to be Supper-De-Duper nice to, whoever. And eventuall
the option "Propose" appers in the action pie-chart. The way to do this
is obviousally talk,Dance,joke,hug,kiss etc. WARNING your sim should be
in top condition(not hungrey, tired, empty bladder etc.) Otherwise the
two sims may start haveing negitive, FOUL(Bad) conversation.

or another one is...

For the Marriage section on the sims, you have to be nice to the person the 
sim loves and do nice things like dancing and keep doing that for about 7 
days. then it should say "should we get married?" and you can get married.



BABIES:To have a baby you obviously have to fall madly in love.So you just have to 
keep all that romantic stuff up such as kissing and dancing.Now the part where you 
make the baby........IT WILL ASK YOU A QUESTION "DO YOU WANT TO HAVE A BABY?" IF YOU 
ANSWER YES THEN.........(SCROLL DOWN)

Hey what did you think would happen??!!


   a.rooms to start with

 To set the mood for falling in love here are some rooms you should create....

1.a JACUZZI ROOM

thats the only kind of room i used but if you currently know any other rooms please 
let me know

  b.creating the rooms to start with

 JACUZZII ROOMS FOR ALL TYPES:This is a hint for all types of people so find out 
what type you are and just create it!!!

ROMANTIC.................(it also looks really kool)
 
This is what i did.......build a samll room(not too small).......make the carpet 
black and paint the walls that black color that has the white dots on them so it 
looks like they are stars(ill get the names when i can)......when you look for the 
wallpaper it looks like its black but when you put it on the wall it has white dots 
on it........then put the jacuzzii in the middle of the room.......dont put any 
windows in this room and no other lights in it except the candles.......put a candle 
light (under lighting) on all four sides of the jacuzzii.....then get a lil bar
(doesnt matter which one)......and put it 2 squares away from a corner.......then 
put a small side table on the two sides of it and put a candle lamp on each side 
table........after you do that get the painting that looks like its water colors 
mixed together(ill get thw names) and get a plant that can be set on the 
ground......and put the plant on a side of the room not a corner and put the water 
colored painting above it.........then get a radio(i recommend the most expensive 
one if you can but the other ones will do just as well)........and put it on another 
side of the room......you can also put other things in it that are bright colored 
but don't make it tooo crowded.....another idea is to get a water fountain or put a 
small pond in the room

OK....IF ANYONE HAS ANY IDEAS OF WHAT ELSE WE CAN DO......PLEASE E-MAIL ME THEM
WITH THE EXACT NAMES OF THE ITEMS TO PUT IN IT AND HOW TO ARRANGE IT....THNX.



7.Added things from other Sim players(in other words....credits)

ASAP!!!SO I CAN CHANGE IT ASAP!!!

8.Any Aditional Questions

 Q.How can i get my single sim to get maarried with her boyfriend he keeps sayin no 
but i don\'t understand why.
 A.Like in real life.....you can't rush love.....but for my Sim I did...but that's 
another story......just keep giving him/her gifts over and over and give them kisses 
and maybe even do a lil' hot tub.They should eventually get together.....but you 
should also check thier zodiac sign....sometimes if the zodiacs don't match and you 
do get married you won't be happy and if they don't match you probably won't get 
married at all!So pick your soulmates wisely.

 Q.Will we be able to change clothes in the game? how many family members can we 
have up 2? 

 A.Yes you will be able to change clothes and all you have to do is get a 
dressar.....then get into your normal clothes....go back into the dressar.......and 
it should say chanmge clothes.And you can have up to 8 family members.So if you plan 
to get married and have a baby...leave a couple of members open to add more.

 IF YOU HAVE ANYMORE QUESTIONS...PLEASE FEEL FREE TO ASK ME.....AND IF YOU HAVE ANY
