To get an uber sim (samuri bob, mel, star, etc.) find a neighbors house that was easy to remodel on the outside. Add many bricks that match the uber sims essence favorite.

Ex: Mel: Town 100% spooky. Make all hoses exterior 100% spooky. Do until You get uber sim into hotel. Ta-Da! Ive already got Samuri Bob, Hopper, Mel, and The Amazing Daryl!

When you get to a three star town go to your house or any place where you can get the loading screen then one tip should say wow you got a pickaxe I wish I had a pickaxe...

1)When you see sims doing a seance, join in and in a little bit, a ghost will appear! Her name is Cassandra. Be nice to her alot. Slowly your friendship points with her will grow. When you become best friends with her, she will give you 3 blueprints. 1. Chair-monster head 2. Chair-monster paw 3.monster paw 2(basically monster paw 1, just with 1 or 2 pieces in a different spot)
2)Are you tired of keep having to gather eccenses to make 2 100% objects to become best friends with every townie sim? Then keep reading. Whenever you give 2 100% objects and go out of give stuff, go back and take back the 2 100% objects. It won't say your best friends any more, but you keep th blueprints. Hope this helps.
