+ (+01) About The Sims +
++++++++++++++++++++++++

The Sims is an open-ended, unpredictable and insanely outrageous 
simulator in which you must create a family of Sims, Build or buy 
them a house, design what goes in it and then run their lives. There
are endless amounts of possibilities including raising a family, 
building up a sucessful career or just getting rich!! In This Guide 
I will explain th basics of the game and some of the more advanced 
features. Hope it helps!
                        [Sam]

houses and 5 empty lots. the house with the arrow above it will

******
Floods
******

The toilet, sink and dishwasher can all break and start to flood, and 
that flood can turn into a big problem if you don't send your sims to 
clean it up and get those appliances fixed or replaced. Hiring a maid 
can help you with this problem.

*****
Fires
*****

Some of your clumsier Sims are none too swift wit a box of matches; 
even asking them too light a fire is a risk. Fires can be VERY serious,
so get those sims to extinguish it immediately (Adults Only). Buying a 
smoke alarm automatically summons the fire brigade so its a good investment
really.

********
Burglars
********

Even The Sims have shady characters lurking around, if you spot a burglar
coming into your house (usually at night) get a sim to call the police 
immediately. Buying a burglar alarm automatically brings the police to 
your house. Also Catching a burglar sometimes brings a reward.

*****
Death
*****

Yes Sims can die but never from old age, (??!!??) only from accidents 
such as a fire, electrocution and hunger. When a Sim dies the grim reaper 
will appear and other family members may have the chance to plead for their 
life.
