THE SIMS BUSTINOUT (GBA) Written By One and Only [email protected] .`~`. NEEDS LIST .`~`. ```````````````````````` You can be guaranteed that if I recieve the information I need below then you WILL be added to the credits section on the next release. *********************************************************************** NOTE: � Only the 1st person who posts the info will be credited. Sorry. � Only the EXACT location of the needed person/item will be used. *********************************************************************** � If you check the items list you will find that there are still alot of items that havn't even been recorded there yet, if you have the information about the ones that are not listed there please email me with the information. ;) Thanks!! :) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Things Should be Known- * By pressing button L, this will trigger whether these Icons appear or not. Fork & Spoon: How hungry your character is, if he becomes too hungry, he will collapse and go to hospital. Better fix him something to eat fast! Shower: How clean your character is, better have a shower two times per day, morning and night is the way to go. Bed: How tired and sleepy he is, if he's too tired he refuses to talk to anyone, better find a large sofa or bed so he can get a good nights shut eye. Boy & Girl: This shows how social you are, if you are not social enough then your popularity goes down. This also shows how much relationship 'healthy' you are to your room mate. Sofa: How tired your legs are, standing too much is bad for you and you should sit sometime, better yet, just go to sleep if time and the location permits. Toilet: Whether your character needs to go to the toilet or not, if the bar is fully red, after a while your character will automatically urinate on the floor regardless of the location! ;) This is actually a good way to avoid going to the toilet, if its inside a building your okay (you can clean up your mess, its a little dirty but...hey? What can you do.) but if its in the gardens the police officer might charge you 100 simoleans and you will go to jail. TV: This is how much entertainment you have: watching TV, dancing to music, driving your scooter around, playing video games and also having some good caring time with your roommate increases your entertainment. House: This is how much you miss your home, when this bar is fully red your character will become homesick and will refuse to talk to anyone until he goes inside his home again. Here's some friendly insight...it doesn't matter if your not living in your Uncle's barn, simply just by visiting your Uncle's house rebuilds this bar up. IN-GAME MENU: Simply pressing on START pops this menu up, to take advantage of this feature you use the buttons L & R to navigate around and the arrow keys + the A button to move around and to select the various options. The screens are as follows: _______________________ |Name | Description | |---------|------------------------------------------------------------------| |GOALS | This shows all the descriptions of the goals you have done and | | | it's also like a todo list, with complete information on what you| | | need to do. | |---------|------------------------------------------------------------------| |PROFILE | This screen has all your personal qualities, the people you've | | | met - thei descriptions and your relationship level with them. | |---------|------------------------------------------------------------------| |POCKET |Shows how much money you have, what miscellaneous items your | | |currently holding onto. Maximum you can hold at any one time is only eight... |---------|------------------------------------------------------------------| THE IN-GAME OPTIONS MENU: When your character is playable, pressing on the SELECT button pops up this menu, you are displayed these features to choose from: ______________ | MENU | |---------|------------------------------------------------------------------| |Show Map | Shows the player the city map. | |---------|------------------------------------------------------------------| |Catalog | descriptions and prices. | |---------|------------------------------------------------------------------| |Jobs | Shows you the job descriptions and what qualities you need for | | | the next promotion. | |---------|------------------------------------------------------------------| |Options | Set Music Volume; SFX Volume; Languages and view Credits. | |---------|------------------------------------------------------------------| |Save Game| Saves the game. | |---------|------------------------------------------------------------------| |Quit Game| Exits your current session, restarts the game. | |---------|------------------------------------------------------------------| �'````````````````````'� | The Controls | �.````````````````````.� A = To talk with people, if its the shop := purchase items. For selection & interaction with items / pets / people. B = To run while using the arrow keys. To exit the menus. L = Show on or not the info boxes. Flip page to the left in menus. R = Flight page to the right in menus. Arrow Keys = Pertaining to your selections and the movement while playing. START = To show in game menu to view your pocket, missions and statistics. SELECT = Pause game / view extra options such as the map, catalogue etc, save game etc. `````````````````````````````` What is ppularity??? `````````````````````````````` Your total popularity is calculated by ALL your relationship levels with the characters you have met so far in the game divided by 24 (since there are a total of 24 NPC characters in the game). Example: LEVEL 1 � Uncle Hayseed = 60 relationship � Dusty Hogg = 34 relationship � Vera Vex = 79 relationship � Nora Zeal-Ott = 100 relationship Therefore your total popularity would be: 70+20+73+100 = 263 / 24 = 10.96 or rounded off, a 11. FORMULA is: P = EP / 24 <-- Where EP equals to Every person Relation level with you. ********************************************************************** How to Auction for items? You can auction for items at ANY item store between 5-7 PM. To auction for an item you need the item must be listed, then press A to begin auctioning, you can use the up and down arrows to decrease or increase your bid, usually if you have the money you could get items for a cheaper price than they were before the auction so in that case auctioning is good and gives value for money, but sometimes the store owners could get the better end of the deal, what I mean is you could end up paying more than what you could have paid before the auction started - in this case it is better to save the game anytime before 5PM and if this happens just buy your item before auction begins. To get the best deals take this e.g:- I want to buy some item for 1000 simoleans, I have 1050 simoleans. Once auctioning begins one guy increases his bid to 950 simoleans so now he is in the path of getting the item, but if I purposely increase my bid to 955 or even 960 simoleans and then quickly bring it back down to 950 simoleans which equals that of my competitor I would win the item because my LAST bid was higher than 950 and his LAST bid was NOT higher than 960. But, if I decreased my bid to 940 or even 930 and brought it back up to 950 which equals my bid to that of my competitor I will NOT get the item because my LAST bid was UNDER 950 and his LAST bid was 950 constant. So there you have it, the way to get the best deals whenever you go to the Auction. ******************************************************************************************************************** ******************************************************************************************************************** ----Missions---- 4. 1) 1.a) Meet Uncle Hayseed. a.

Yeah right, you might say but I'm serious, I've tried to make this Walkthrough as clean and easy to understand as possible. Look below for the contents, to INSTANTLY go to any section of the walkthrough simply just type in the sub mission's name in the search function of your text editor - they are listed after the ... in the table. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ========== WELCOME!! ========== ____________________________________ | | | Welcome to SimValley, | | *YOUR NAME*, I am so excited to | | have you here for the summer. | | We may not be as big as SimCity, | | but we've got twice the character! | | Come see me as soon as you arrive! | | - Uncle Hayseed. | |____________________________________| A truck then drops you off in front of Uncle Hayseed's farm... You then walk inside the farm and you stand in front of Uncle Hayseed. So now, let's begin the game! ======== LEVEL 1: ======== Once your inside the front of the barn... ``````````````````````````` GOAL 1: Meet Uncle Hayseed ``````````````````````````` 1) Talk to Uncle Hayseed, be nice! Uncle will explain to you the basic controls if you choose to view them. Make sure your friendship level with him is 30 and above. 2) From the chat window, choose 'I have something to give to you' (from now on I won't repeat myself on how to go to the inventory so remember it!). Then using the arrows choose the Family Photo Album and press A to give to Uncle Hayseed. ********************************************************************** NOTES: By now your character will complain that he's hungry or needs to go to the toilet. 1) Go inside, walk up to where the stove is. Press A to cook breakfast. You see that blue fridge to the left of you? Pressing A while the arrow is pointing at it will make your character fix himself up a quick snack, when I say quick I mean he gets his food quick! 2) If your character needs to go to the toilet, go near the toilet and press A. If he says when your chatting to someone that 'whoa I reak', go to the shower and press A to have a shower. 3) If your character is tired of standing, pressing A on any character near a sofa or seat will give him the option to sit down. 4) You can sleep on a bed or a double pillowed sofa by pressing A on it when the arrow is on top of it. ********************************************************************** ````````````````````````````` GOAL 2: Welcome to SimValley ````````````````````````````` 1) Go to the toilet, have a shower, have breakfast and go to bed. You can do all these things by going to the item, and pressing the function button A. ````````````````````````` Goal 3: Inherit the Barn ````````````````````````` 1) Talk to your Uncle after your all cleaned up. He will tell you to move all items to the barn in the room which is upstairs. 2) Go to the backyard, which is through the door in the kitchen. 3) Go to the wooden chicken, press A to 'put in pocket', do the same for the bed, heading east & now do the same for the old sofa, heading a little south now select the fridge that has electric sparks through it and choose repair then select the fridge and choose 'put in pocket'. Repair the TV and do the same. 4) Go to the barn which the entrance can be found in the front yard, go upstairs, press the select button, navigate to the inventory using L & R, by pressing A on an item choose the location (red means you cannot place it and yellow means you can, Place all the items in the barn whichever way you like, since it will be your home now for some time. Now talk to Hayseed. ``````````````````````` Goal 4: Farmhand Blues ``````````````````````` 1) Go to the tractor, select it by pressing A, tune the tractor two times so it no longer needs any further tuning. You now should have gained two extra bars for your mechanical skills. Now talk to Uncle Hayseed. Goal 5: Earn some Simoleans 1) Near the steps to your left, there will be a blue board with a sign on it, press A on it to mow the lawn. This is your first job and you will get paid around 150 simoleans, you can only mow the law once per day and don't mow over the flowers because you will then lose 20 simoleans and the rocks can help you - they make you spin towards a different direction when you go over them which sometimes can be very helpful expecially if your about to mow over a flower. 2)Wait till its the next day, mow the lawn again to get a promotion, (your salary should be around 250 simoleans by now since your on promotion level 2). Now wait till the next day again and mow the lawn once more time to get a promotion of level 3, so that by now if you mow it correctly from now on your wages will be anywhere from 380 to 420 simoleans but only if you mow all the weeds and avoid all the flowers (get used to it, because this will be your #1 job for some time. Now talk to Uncle Hayseed. ========== Level 2 ========== ``````````````````````````````` Goal 1: Escape of the Chickens ``````````````````````````````` 1) In this mission you have to find 8 chickens & hand them back to Uncle Hayseed, refer to the FAQ on how to find ALL the chickens. Type this code in your text editors search function to go there now: chkqa Simply just go to Uncle Hayseed, press A when facing directly next to him, choose 'I have something for you have to choose a chicken, it will tell you that you have 8 chickens in your inventory so choose that you want to give them all to Uncle Hayseed. Job Finished. 2) Now you have to find detective Dan to complete this segment. Have breakfast, sleep, have a shower and go to the toilet if need be and head out of the farm. Look inside and near the Biker bar, and look inside and near the item shop. If you can't find him call him to find out where he is, he'll show up soon. Once you find him he'll say that the Veloci Rooster is responsible for the chickens being kidnapped and apparently you'll also find out later in the game that Nora Zeal-Ott's mother was killed by it. Now go back to the farm and speak with Uncle Hayseed. While this next goal does not appear in the 'to do' checklist it is required to be completed. `````````````````````` Goal 2: Shopping Time `````````````````````` 1) Go to the barn and go upstairs where you kept all your furniture, put the ruffled up brown sofa in your pocket , Go to the Spoke Biker Bar and talk with the bartender guy, give him the sofa and he'll pay you some cash for it. To hand the sofa over, choose the sofa and press A. 2) Wait till there's a shower to buy at the item shop. Now that you have the shower go inside the barn, through the door that's just right to the parked car and place the shower somewhere. ````````````````````````` Goal 3: Serve the Public ````````````````````````` 1) Become friends with Nora, read the notes below! 2) Find & talk with Detective Dan, he'll tell you that there might be some cheating going around in the item shop auctions that happen betwen 5-7PM everyday. Go visit the auction and choose an item, remember you don't have to bid - he only wants you to go there and see if anything happens. Nothing happens. So visit the detective again to report back. ```````````````````````````` Goal 4: Clear the Roadblock ```````````````````````````` Your Uncle says that there are some hooligans with bikes racing across SimValley and especially near his farm. Pay Dusty Hogg a visit. 1) He'll tell you that he and his pals were racing really fast but his bike fell down and is now broken. Build relationship with Dusty Hogg (the guy always wearing a black shirt and a bandana) to level 25. I'd suggest you instead become friends with him because you'll keep some ties with him later on. 2) Speak with Dusty Hogg, he'll tell you he lost his helmet. Go east of the Burning Spoke Biker bar, now your facing a corner go completely south --> now head west through the opening in the fence and head north past the two trees to see a red coloured helmet. Pick it up and give it back to Dusty Hogg. 3) He'll apreciate your help but his bikes broken. Tell him you'll fix it and he will bag you a little that a little punk like you can't fix his grand bike. You'll show him. Press A when the arrow is above the bike, choose repair and wait till the bike is repaired. Now talk with Dusty Hogg. ````````````````````````` Goal 5: Get some Wheels! ````````````````````````` 1) Talk with Dusty Hogg, he'll say that he'll tell his friend to let you in to play the mini game that was inaccessible before! Tend bar at the Spoke Biker bar, this game is known as Smoothie Slider, go to the place in the bar near where the bartender is. Press A while facing face front on the blue sign to play. In this game your job is to pass the beer over to the person who needs it. 2) Talk to Dusty Hogg. He'll tell you that his bikes paint came off, but you'll fix that! Press A on the bike and choose repaint. You can paint is bike as many times as you wish but it doesn't make a difference. Now talk with Dusty Hogg. He will be very happy with you, when you talk with him choose the option that will say something like 'I wish I was a biker like you!', Dusty will get impressed and will tell you to pick up his old scooter first thing tomorrow morning at your Uncles farm. 3) Talk to your Uncle. You should now collect 5 cans, you an find these cans all over the ground. Just press A to pick them up, you can also pick up clogs, radioactive rods for some good amount of cash and even 3 eared mice that will bring in lots of money to you! 4) Wait till next morning, pick up the scooter and from your the farm's entrance head east, at the bend head south and at the fork turn right and you'll see a building, that's VirtuChem Labs. Give them your cans, clogs and even a radioactive rod if you've picked that up for some well deserved cash! :) ``````````````````````` Goal 6: Moving Out - 1 ``````````````````````` 1) Talk with your Uncle, he'll say that you've grown and that you should get a place of your own. Find and talk with Giuseppi Mezzoalto He'll tell you if you want to move out or not. Either way you'll have to say yes so agree with him. Now is the right time to be friends with this guy, he'll help you ALOT in the near future so be friends with him. Your now in front of a building, it is the Clocktower! Go inside, press A on the crate to view inventory, now just select the items you want to get out and place them in your NEW house whichever way you like. :) Now is a good time to really have a roommate, not required but for some fun! 2) If you did what I told you before you should have 4 friends by now, your Uncle, Giuseppi Mezzoalto, Dusty Hogg and Zora Zeal-Ott. This goal requires you to have 1 friend, but you have several friends now so this goal is satisfied. 3) Talk to Uncle Hayseed at the farm. You must now pay him 500 simoleans because he let you stay in his barn for such a time. What kind of Uncle is he?? 4) Now you have to earn a 2nd job promotion. If you did what I told you before your status should be level 3 in the Mowing Madness game in the farm. Visit the Spoke Biker Bar, play the Smoothie Slider minigame and gain the promotion of Level 2. It won't harm to be promoted to Level 3 either, so work away till your on level 3 if you wish. That's it! You have now completely finished levels 1 & 2. Welcome to Level 3 now! ============= Level 3 ============= `````````````````````````` Goal 1: At the Waterfront `````````````````````````` 1) You'll have to impress the fisherman for this one, and NO...the fisherman is not Olde Salty, it's O. Phil McClean who's the guy wearing the yellow coat and who has the fishing rod. To impress him, get your relationship level with him to level 40. To find him, he usually *always* hangs near the docks fishing, visit the docks early morning to almost certainly meet him. 2) Earn the mechanical skill level to 2, if you did what I told you to back in the farm about tuning the tractor TWICE and not just once this would be satisfied. To level up on your mechanical skills simply just go to the library and read the books that are in the top left hand corner on ground floor. 3) Buy the fishing rod from ANY item shop and not Bric 'a' Brac. If its not there visit the place the next business day. 4) Apparently O. Phil McClean has a brother who wrote a book on how to fish, by the fishing book at Bric 'a' Brac. If it's not there look into the place another time. ``````````````````````````````````````` Goal 2: The Raging Chicken Competition ``````````````````````````````````````` By this time, if you don't yet have 200 simoleans, then I'd advise you to save up for it. Don't forget to save up a little extra for food and the bills you have to pay. If you never knew you had to pay bills check your mailbox every now and then by pressing A on it when the arrow is over it. 1) Earn a body strength level of 2. Since you *might* not be a member of the gym yet, just punch your all on a boxing bag twice. If you don't have one you can purchase it at any item shop for �575 (� = simoleans). 2) Look for a guy named Eddie Renalin, he's the guy who has dark skin, a heavy body mass and usually hangs around outside the gym. Speak with him and gain the relationship level with him to 40, to 'impress' him. Just do not keep him out of your sight just yet! 3) He'll say that you have to pay him 200 simoleans so he can get you the gym membership. Pay him 200 simoleans. ````````````````````` Goal 3: Library Card ````````````````````` First talk with Hester Primm, she is the librarian in SimValley. She can be found near the library, near the sand dunes that's just beneath the sea food restaurant and sometimes also near the clocktower-gym area. She has orange hair and a green coloured shirt (you know! the green colour like in the apples.lol). 1) Go to the library, the building is east up the road from the VirtuChem Labs and just west right next to the Country Cafe. Press A to squash all 15 of them, in the 1st and 2nd floors. 2) Talk to the people around the city who have the '!' sign in red, find three of them who have the library books (you'll know once you chat with them) and they will give you the library books. Actually there are five people in total who have the books but finding and giving just three books to the librarian is enough to reopen it. The five people who have the books are: * Mad Willy Hurtzya * Claire Clutterbell * Misty Waters * Daddy Bigbucks * Nicki Knack Just find three of the above people, ask for their books and you'll be fine, although its better to find all 5 of the above people and give the books to her so they don't pester you when you go see them to hand their books in. 3) Give the three books to Hester Primm who can be found near the library, near the sand dunes that's just beneath the sea food restaurant and sometimes also near the clocktower-gym area. She'll thank you for the help and allow you to go to the library. She will also give you the cookbook she wrote, she says her book hasn't been sold yet and she kinda forces you to take it and read it. 4) Learn cooking. Go to the library, up the stairs, head to the eastern area of the room and read the cooking book there. You only have to read the book once, just enough to learn cooking at level 1. `````````````````````````````` Goal 4: The Rise of Club Rubb `````````````````````````````` 1) Find & talk to Maximillian Moore , who is the owner of Club Rubb. I found him nearby the hospital, he'll agree for your assistance. 2) Find Det. Dan D. Mann, he sometimes hangs around inside the jail, around the Burning Spoke Biker bar and in the item shop that's south of the Biker bar. The best way to find him is to call him and ask him where he is. Once you see him build your relationship level with him to level 30. 3) Pay the detective 1000 simoleans, read above for some tips on how to find him. Check out the FAQ as well for some more help. 4) Go to Bric 'a' Brac and purchase 10 Flyers from the store for only 2 simoleans each. Then find any 10 people and for each one hand them a flyer, then go see the detective and he'll agre to re-open the closed club. `````````````````````````` Goal 5: Deep Dark Secrets `````````````````````````` 1) Acquire a Crowbar: To get this go to Uncle Hayseed's farm and ask him nicely for one. 2) Find the City Blueprints: Once your living in the Clocktower, you will see a hiddin door just right of the stairs, press A to open it and you will see the blue prints just below. Then give the blue prints to Giuseppi Mezzoalto. 3) To lower the maintenance ladders go to the sewers via the manhole near north of the library, just press A to go down, the button you must push is just a little east from where you are. Then the screen will show that all the ladders have been lowered. Now you can access the sewers using ANY manhole you see, using the sewers is a really good way to travel fast around SimValley. Now you've finished this mission! Easy, wasn't it? I said that because there were a few people totally confused with this mission and basically just level 3 in general. ``````````````````````` Goal 6: Moving Out - 2 ``````````````````````` Visit Nicki Knack, she's usually hanging near shore and her shop, Bric 'a' Brac. She'll start saying that she's not making any good business because no one has moved into her 'Waterfront Villa' yet. Agree with her that you'll move into it. 1) Make 4 friends. You should have 4 friends already by now if you don't already have. 2) Earn 3000 simoleans to pay for the initial rent to Knicki Knack, but don't give her the money just yet. 3) Gain a level 3 promotion at either Bait Flinger or Power Lifter . Personally, I'd go for the fishing because It IS easier. Read the job list & descriptions section for helpful advise on how to tackle these occupations head on. Now you can go see Knicki Knack and give her the 3000 simoleans. After that's over talk with Giuseppi Mezzoalto to arrange your moving out to the Waterfront Villa. Totally unrelated, but the bills you get in the mail for rent at this place is 400 simoleans. So the jobs I would be doing right now to keep up with the bills and money savings is the Level 3 Mower Madness and the Level 3 fishing. You've moved into the Waterfront Villa and have been advanced to level 4. ============= Level 4 ============= `````````````````````````````````` Goal 1: Experience the Paranormal `````````````````````````````````` Important notice:- You will need logic skills at 4 and maechanical skill at 3. Ok! Before we start this ghostly experience, let's head out to the sewers, just press A on any manhole you see to climb down into the underground sewage system. What are we doing here you might ask? Before we start this mission we need to get one important item belonging to the ghost, its ashes. Now depending on where you climbed down at, the directions leading to the ashes is different so look at the detailed SimValley Underground Sewage map I wrote that's in this guide, for the directions. Found the golden coloured urn with the ashes? Good, now you must climb the ladder that leads to the haunted shack which is Ladder 10 - you can locate it using the Underground Sewage map. Now let's begin the real mission: Go near the fence leading to the haunted shack, if you don't have the mechanical skill level of 3 you can try as might to open it, it won't, but since you do (assuming you do because you should have it by now) read on! 1) Firstly we need to 'pick' the rusty lock, since you have the mechanical skill of 3 it can be done and the gate will open. To 'pick' the lock, face it and press A, then choose pick lock. 2) Since you have logic skills up to level 4 you'll be fine when your talking to the ghost. Enter the house on the 1st level, you'll see the ghost so talk to it. After a while the ghost will lay out the 5 riddles on you, so if you get them all correct you'll be able to keep his furniture for free but if you get them wrong he makes you unconcious and you end up in the hospital, here are the solutions: ________________________________________________________ | No. Question ! Ans | |******************************************************** | 1 |*How many sides does a circle have? | 2 | | 2 |*Which does not belong in this | | | | group? apple, grape, bannana or | bannana| | | pear? | | | 3 |*How many letters are in the | | | | alphabet? | 11 | | 4 |*What other letter fits in the | | | | following: B C D E I K O X? | H | | 5 |*When I am filled I can point the | | | | way. When I am empty, nothing moves| | | | me. I have two skins - One without | | | | & one within. What am I? | A glove| |--------|------------------------------------|--------| After that's over he will congratulate you for being smarter than he gave you credit for. Once the chat window appears again, choose 'I have something for you.' And give the ghost the golden urn that contained in it has the ashes that belongs to his body. He'll thank you and promises to be peaceful and not scare the wits out of anyone who walks near his shack. Because he's happy he got his ashes back he says to you that he will allow you to take any one item you like from his secret cellar. Then exit the house and down via the steps. While your still in the vicinity of the shack, head east past the several graves and press A on the brown trap door that was not there before (TIP: near the trap door you might also see the 3 eared mouse - pick it up and sell it at VirtuChem for cash!) your now inside the ghost's secret cellar. Sure, the ghost only wants you to take just one item, but we'll take more than that! ;) You can take as many items as you want, after that's over head back up the ladder and down the manhole to get outta this creepy place! ``````````````````````````` Goal 2: Art for Art's Sake ``````````````````````````` 1) Finally here's your chance to be a true artist! Talk with Daschell Swank and he'll tell you that SimValley needs an art exhibition, and a masterpiece created right here in SimValley can sway the mayors thoughts to host one. Follow the map of the gardens I wrote which can be found after the FAQ (you can look at it right now by inputting the code 'svmp' without the quotes of course in the search function of your text editor!). Press A on the painting board to start the *long* work, after the masterpiece has been painted frame it and then hand it to Daschell Swank for 5000 simoleans! That covers all of Goal 2. ``````````````````` Goal 3: Rock Star! ``````````````````` 1) After talking with Mel Odious about how he wants to be part of Vera Vex's rock band and how he didn't make it. Our first job is to find a place we could jam. Talk with Uncle Hayseed at the farm and he'll let you jam there. 2) For this one, your popularity with the entire city in general has to be 25. If you've helped everyone up until now and have several friends by now (you should have 4 by now) then this demand will be satisfied. 3) Develop a look: To gain a creativity level of 3 just paint a few portraits (did you buy the painting kit?) and go to the north western part of the gym near the mirror and the door. Press A on the mirror and your character will stare at it for quite a while (sounds like he's lost it), but this actually builds Charisma. Stare once again and your charisma will be level 2. Which satisfies this demand. 4) Acquire one cool guitar: Talk with your mate Giuseppi Mezzoalto and he'll give you one - purchase it from his van. 5) Impress the Local band Leader: Easy one! Talk to Vera Vex and make your friendship level 50 with her and she'll let you join the band. `````````````````````````` Goal 4: Pizza Pandemonium `````````````````````````` Find and talk with Lottie Cash before you start this mission. She's usually on the same road that you use when you leave the farm by heading east, mostly around midday. 1) For this one go to the seafood restaurant, refer to the map if you don't know where it is. The chef is the guy who's in white, a little fat and has a hat on. Make friends with him, get the relationship level with him up to 60. 2) Prove your worth! Here you have to get your cooking skills up to level 5. So visit the library, go upstairs and there on the east side there are cooking books that you can read. Read them until your cooking skills ar at level 5. 3) Pay the Show entry fee: For this one talk with Lottie Cash. She'll say that she's thinking about purchasing the sea food restaurant and the cooking TV show that gets filmed over there. Pay her 2500 simoleans and from now on you can access the pizza making minigame found in the sea food restaurant by pressing A on the blue board. ````````````````````````````````` Goal 5: Champion of the Simverse ````````````````````````````````` Find & talk with Daddy Bigbucks, I found him at Knick Knacks. He'll say that this town needs a triathlon, so he wants you to complete the three challenges so that it might impress the mayor and in doing so he will open up the 1st annual SimValley Extreme Games. 1) Catch the Veloci Rooster, this mad chicken runs fast everywhere but he's not hard to catch, make your body level 6, my body level was 8 so maybe it was easy for me. TIP: If you watch closely at the movement patterens of this chicken it sometimes goes in the same direction when its running, knowing this you can catch it, that's how I did it. 2) Visit Country Cafe, since your body level is at 6 you'll have no problem doing this. If its not you better train for it. Press A on any of the two bulls that are presented to you and ride any one of them till you satisfy this challenge. 3) Since your on body level 6, go to the gym and the boxing ring. Press A on the boxer to knock out Mad Willy Hurtzya (he doens't hurt ya anymore!). After that's over go see Daddy Bigbucks, I found him during auction time in the item shop that's near the jail. He'll be happy to see that you did all the events and he'll pay you 1000 simoleans. But do not leave Daddy Bigbuck's sight just yet! ********************************************* Imp... note:- 1) You can build body strength by going to the gym since you now have paid the membership fee of 200 simoleans, and start lifting weights. Also, boxing builds up the body strength as well. ********************************************** ``````````````````````` Goal 6: Moving Out - 3 ``````````````````````` Talk with Daddy Bigbucks and he will agree by saying that's a 'fine' idea, he will let you rent his summer mansion. Now let's finish up this mission so we can move to a bigger and better home! ;) 1) For this one you have to make 8 friends, by this time you shouldn't have to make anymore friends because by now you should have eight friends. 2) Now you'll have to pay Daddy Bigbucks 10,000 simoleans so you can rent out his summer mansion. Once you have the 10,000 by working hard of course, hand the money in to him and he'll tell you to find Guiseppi Mezzoalto who will pack your stuff up. Forget about Guiseppi for now. 3) Now you'll need to gain a level 4 promotion from one of these occupations: Jam session or Pizza chef. Personally I would go with the Jam Session and not the Pizza Chef because its alot easier to level up and do. If you want to do Jam Session follow this simple guide: Go to Club Rubb, since Jam session starts at 7PM you better hurry up if the club is about to close! Make sure though that your creativity level is 6 and your charisma level is 3 otherwise you can't get promoted to level 4. And your aiming to earn 400 simoleans. On the right shows the notes you have to play, when they go over the target that's on the scroll if you don't key in the notes when the notes go on the highlighted cyan coloured target exactly then you don't get paid for it and you lose the points you gain on the left side of the red bar, once the bar is full then you get promoted.. But if your synched with the scroller then you get paid for it and the bar fills up. Or if you want, you can try to get Level 4 at being a Pizza Chef, the mini-game is located at the sea food restaurant. Now, after you've been promoted to Level 4 on one of the jobs listed above, find and talk with Guiseppi Mezzoalto. Agree with him to move your stuff in his crate to Imperial Estates, unpack all your stuff - hand the crate back to Guiseppi and now get ready for Level 5, the last level! ============= Level 5 ============= ```````````````````````````````````` Goal 1: A Monumental Accomplishment ```````````````````````````````````` Talk with Det. Dan D.Mann to unlock this mission. 1) Find and talk with Daschell Swank and he will give you the phone number for the sculptor who happens to live in SimCity. The number can be accesible from *only* your home phone under 'services'. 2) Now before we can call and hire the sculptor, if you don't already have a phone in your house - buy one otherwise you won't be able to call him. Also before you can call you need to find and collect 30 cans that are scattered across the streets of SimValley (just press A to pick them up) and please>>>> don't sell them to VirtuChem until this entire mission is complete. After you've collected the 30 cans this sub goal would be complete. 3) For this one you need to be quite popular in SimValley, get a popularity rating of 50 to complete this one, this takes some time but talk to every single person you can see and try to gain relationship levels higher than 50 for all of them. You'll be popular in no time! 4) Now its time to call the sculptor, go to where your home phone is, press A, choose services --> Sculptor. That's it! Now go and talk to Det. Dan D.Mann. ```````````````````````````` Goal 2: The Looney Lemmings ```````````````````````````` To unlock this mission talk with Duane Doldrem who'll tell you that he's been looking for this 'elite' club for a long time but he can't find it. Also, this sub mission has its order in reverse, what I mean is that you can't go to the cliffs until you make the lifeguard annoyed and mad like hell. Also, make your popularity up to 60 otherise she'll ignore you. To increase your popularity the easy way, be *BEST* friends with lots of people except Misty Waters, and this means getting a high relationship level 80+. 1) Pester the Lifeguard: Find Misty Waters, check first around near the sand dunes during daytime and also check the sea food restaurant. Once you find her ANNOY her bad, and get the relationship level down to -50. You might have some difficulties here, why? Because once you annoy her down to -18 she stops talking to you, that's why use this method to overcome that: annoy her twice, be nice once, annoy her twice amd so on till it drops to 50. 2) Visit the cliffs. There used to be a gate blocking your path just right of Country Cafe but now its gone, so pass through the area where the gate once was and this sub mission will be satisfied. Although you can't go up the stairs just yet. Talk with Misty Waters and say 'Hey! I'm an official Looney Lemming now!'. She'll get angry and say to you she doesn't want to talk with you any more. Finally, now you an pass through the place where the gate once was, climb up the stairs and play the mini-game, Cliff Diver X! ```````````````````````````` Goal 3: Take over the Town! ```````````````````````````` To unlock this mission, find and talk with Nora Zeal-Ott. Apparently she is now the Assistant Treasurer, she will also say that *YOU* could have applied to become a mayor, since the current mayor doesn't do anything and also she tells you that anyone can apply to become the mayor of SimValley at any time of the year. But she says that you can't apply now because O. Phil McClean (the fisherman in the yellow coat) has already applied for the position. We'll see about that! ;) 1) Nora says to you that she can help you become the next mayor of SimValley if you pay her 10,000 simoleans, once you have the money go see Nora and pay her. TIP: If you want to finish the entire game and not be bothered playing it any further then selling your own personal property that you bought with alot of money can really help raise the 10,000 simoleans! Just do not get rid of the essential items such as the shower, bed, toilet and stove. TIP 2: Remember the furniture that was available to us in the secret cellar back in Level 4 in the ghost mission? If you haven't got your hands on those yet do so now and sell them, in total they will add over 2000 simoleans to your count to pay off the 10,000 liability. TIP 3: I recommend that you the jobs Mower Madness, Bait Flinger and Smoothie Slider. I've found these jobs bring you the HIGHEST payouts. 2) Gain a popularity of 60 if you haven't already, for some tips on how to gain the extra popularity, re-read Goal 1 point 3. 3) Now you have to annoy O. Phil McClean (the fisherman in yellow) real bad so he will drop out as a possible canditate for mayor. If he's ignoring you when he's about -20 give him some time and he will talk with you again, then give him round 2. :) After the relationship level becomes -50, talk with him once more time and he will chicken out of the election to become the next SimValley Mayor. `````````````````````````````` Goal 4: Mystery of the Cosmos `````````````````````````````` ****************************************************************** Imp... Note!! SKIP GOAL 1 OF THIS MISSION IF YOU WISH TO PLAY THE GAME FOREVER. ****************************************************************** Talk with Maximilian Moore (the afro dude) to unlock this sub mission. 1) Go to Uncle Hayseed's farm, you'll notice that that the tractor is not blocking the barn anymore, now go inside the door that's just to the right of the parked car. Then you'll notice that the hay stack was kind of like a hologram and it disappears but reveals a hidden trapdoor. Go inside and you'll see a rocket there! Now go towards it, press A on it and choose repair. Now put the rocket in your pocket..that rymes! When you get out of the barn, you'll notice that tractor is again blocking the entrance to the barn which is no calls for concern. 2) Become friends with Daddy Bigbucks. Make the relationship up to level 80. At around auction time you can usually find him at the item shop that's north west of the jail. Then ask him to give you grant money for your science experiment. 3) Earn the logic of level 7. To earn logic read the relative books in the library on the 2nd floor. Now go and visit Maximilian Moore, he'll thank you and he'll tell you that now you have become part of the VirtuChem Elite club! Now, whenever you visit VirtuChem Labs, you can access the mini-game Petri Dish! `````````````````````````````` Goal 5: Apprehend the Van Man `````````````````````````````` To unlock this mission talk with Vera Vex, she'll start complaining that Giuseppi has stolen her guitar. 1) Become friends with Det. Dan D.Mann, make the relationship level up to 60. 2) Purchase the camera at Bric'a'Brac, if it's not there visit the store some other time. 3) Now that you have the camera visit Uncle Hayseed's farm and go inside the house, enjoy the movie scene! ;) After that's over go up to Giuseppi and talk to him. Your character will then take a picture of Giuseppi and at that momment Det. Dan D.Mann will come in and arrest him. ****************************************************** NOTE: It might seem that most of Uncle Hayseed's furniture is gone, but you get them back. Simply exit the house and re-enter it. Voila! Their all back. ****************************************************** Since Giuseppi is now in jail, go find and talk to Vera Vex to let her know that he's in jail now. Also, since you've now finished Goal 5 access to Uncle Hayseed's house is not possible anymore, but you can still access the Mad Mower for the money. ````````````````````` Goal 6: Summer's End ````````````````````` 1) For this one you need to make 13 friends. If you've done exactly what I've told you before about talking and making friends with anyone you see in the attempt to increase your popularity, then this sub misison would have been complete. If not, then find the 13 people needed and make your relationship level with them to 50. 2) Now you will need to get a Level 3 promotion for either the Mad Scientist (Petri Dish mini-game) or Cliff Diver X. Personally I think both of them were quite easy. For the Pertri Dish, make sure you focus on one colour group at a time, like all orange first, then all yellow and finally blue. The Cliff Diver X was easy too, this was the occupation I completed this sub mission with. Just use the control keys to do some tricks while in mid air, fall down vertically and press the top arrow button just before he hits the floor. Read the job list for detailed descriptions on how to complete them! 3) For this one you will have to repair the rocket, if you did what I told you to do back in Goal 4 then this one would have already been done. Anyway, to repair the rocket just go towards it, press A while the arrow is over it and choose repair from the list. 4) Last mission! This one requires you to place the rocket that you've found before on the launch pad that is located directly west of the kitchen, past the living room and through the door on the west. Now talk to Uncle Hayseed. ============== THE FINALE: ============== Uncle Hayseed will actually be inside the Imperial Estate, the moment you come back in the house he's waiting. Here's the entire story script exactly how it happens: ************************************ YOU: Uncle Hayseed, what are you doing away from the farm? UNCLE: Well, *YOU*, summer's over. Sure went pretty fast, didn't it? YOU: As fast as the Veloci-Rooster. UNCLE: And you, on the ballot for Mayor of SimValley! You made me proud, kid. YOU: Thanks Uncle Hayseed! UNCLE: And this rocket you restored. You're one of a kind, *YOU*. But it's time for you to leave SimValley. YOU: But...I don't want to leave! I love it here! It's my home. UNCLE: No, *YOU*, it's not. Not anymore. It never was...Your mother never told you how I how I found you in that cornfield all those years ago. You repairing this rocket isn't coincidence. It's time for you to really go home, kid. YOU: But... UNCLE: If that rocket leaves the ground and you're not with it, you'll regret it. Maybe not today. Maybe not tomorrow, but soon and for the rest of your life. Goodbye, *YOU*. Perhaps I'll see you again someday. YOU: I understand. UNCLE: ... ************************************ Then Uncle Hayseed will head outside through the door. You will to, and you will meet all your friends and contacts you've made this summer. And as you head for the rocket, waving goodbye at everyone - you take one last look at Uncle Hayseed and you leave earth...Then the rocket crashes for some reason and you crash back to earth. The credits now roll... *** THE END *** ================= Final Thought ================= Does this mean that the character you've played so far is an alien? If you can recall the Superman movies starring Christopher Reeve the stories of the movie and this game are similar in a way. The ending is quite a shock to me as well as a few other people. ****************************** ***SPOILER NOW ENDS HERE****** *WARNING - IF YOU DON'T WANT** **TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS IN THE** ****END DO NOT SCROLL ABOVE.** ****************************** +=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+= *************************** KNOWN GLITCHES IN THE GAME *************************** Tractor Glitch: In level 5, Goal 4. When you enter the farm you'll notice that the tractor is not blocking the barn's entrance no more. Once you see the rocket and assuming that you NEVER did put it in your pocket before leaving the main entrance to the barn - it will be blocked once again by the tractor and it will be impossible to revert the circumstances! The only way to fix this situation is to use any working codebreaker or gameshark codes to get the rocket. Sprites Glitch: If you are not familiar with the computer term, 'Sprites' then don't worry. But if you are aware you might notice that sometimes when you try to go around some objects, also sometimes in tight spaces your character's Sprite will be partially hidden behind the object that you are passing. As a fact, Sprites is an older technology in making objects look like their animated. Improper ending Glitch: Contributed by SDSakuragi! Thank you :) For the final mission I talked to Uncle Hayseed at the farm instead of at Imperial Estates. (This was due to my finishing the Mayor mission last and so I talked to Nora outside the farm.) When I did go to Imperial Estates and entered, the camera cuts to Hayseed and then back to my character, but I am unable to talk to him using the A button. He does not go out the door nor can I exit to another area. And the icing on the cake is the fact that saved my game after talking to Uncle at the farm. So now I can play forever as long as I live at the Farm. Floating Items Glitch: It seems that some items float in mid air! Such as when you put a microwave on the bench, put the bench in your pocket and the microwave floats in the air. This glitch does NOT happen all the time. Odd one. ************************** HEIDI SHADOWS, THE NINJA ************************** ```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` Thanks to SillyBoy of the board, for providing this information. For two hours a week you can purchase cheats from Heidi Shadows, The Cheat Ninja (Secret Character). You must be in the right place at the right time, and thats no easy feat. Heidi appears at the following times and places: *Southwest of Imperial Estates, Mondays 11:00pm-midnight *Park Maze (Top right hand corner), Fridays 3:00am-4:00am The hard part is knowing what day of the week it is.

Unfortunately, the day is a number, not a day of the week. It's confusing but not impossible. The game starts on a monday, so that's day 1. Therefore Mondays are days 1, 8, 15, 22, 29, 36, 43, 50, 57, 64, 71, 78, 85, 92, 99, 106, 113, 120, 127, 134, 141, 148, 155, etc...
