This is the final version of this guide. I don't have the game so I won't be
ansering any more questions. Also any mistakes in it will have to stay because
I don't have the time to fix all the spelling mistakes. I have removed my
E-mail from this guide.

The best selling PC game makes the jump to console at last. In the
Playstation version there is now levels, as well as the free game
like the PC. There is also a two-player option you can work
cooperatively in a open game or against each other in a variety
of fun mini games. Some new items have been added that aren't in
the original PC game, which gives the feeling of more to do.
007- "My Review"
----------------
Graphics- 8/10
Not the best graphics ever to grace the PS2 but it gets the job done
in a clear way. But the graphics don't matter in a game like this, so
don't be put off!
Gameplay- 9/10
BRILLIANT. If you like this type of game then you will love the Sims
everything is perfect. The only time it does get frustrating is when
you keep running out of time to do things before it is time for work
again. Other than that it is superb, there’s loads of little details
like being able to see things such as paintings take shape and selling
them for a price that rises with your skill level. You will either
love it or hate it!
Sounds- 5/10
They still don't talk in English but sometimes you can just about make
out what they are trying to say. At first their language is amusing
but soon gets repetitive, so sling on some music when playing.
Lifespan- 10/10
The "Get a life" levels don't last very long, but the open-ended gameplay
will last you a lifetime, well a long time anyway! You can't finish it
so it will be over when you get bored and if you like the game to start
off with then it is hard to get bored with it.
Originality- 4/10
The level based game-play gives it a bit of originality but other than that
there is none. But who needs it when it is a game that works so well? It is
still addictive. This is not an issue with the game that is this good.
Overall- 9/10
Very fun and will keep you inside for days. Maybe it could do with a few more
items than it has but that doesn’t bother you when playing that much!
Rent or Buy? - Buy
Just look at the lifespan!! Maybe rent if you have never played it.

cooking points. When you have done this fix telly and cook dinner. Keep

for them other wise they will get taken off you.
5. Keep them in school- Just make sure they are in a good mood before they go
and make sure there grades don't drop too much.
6. Finish house in eight days- now this is very hard! The best way to do it is
when you have time on the levels before get the points that you need up. Make
sure the friends you have are yours not your partners. The When you go onto
this level you don't have to worry about getting them. When the baby is born
put it in the bedroom so they wake up when he cries and make sure you care for
it well. When it is grown up make sure it stays in school by keeping it happy
but also keep their school grade around A/B's. This may work, I don't know I
didn't manage to finish it in time.
Unlockable:

promotion and then go to work in a good mood.
2. Send kids to prep school with straight A's- Easy. Just get them to study
before they go to school and when they are grade a/a+ they will go.
Make sure you have $1,200 each though or you will lose some items.
3. Save $20,000 to buy a yacht for early retirement- you shouldn't
find this very hard with level 10 jobs- it will take about 20 days
though.
4. Throw a GREAT party before you retire- This is hard. Get loads of people
round a table eating get some in the swimming pool and then get them all to
talking to each other.
5. Finish the house in eight days or less- It makes it easier if you already
have the friends and the points needed to get promoted. Get them in the spare
time in the other levels. Make sure the kids have at least an B going into the
level and make them study straight away. When they go to school they have to
have at least an A- And it will cost you $1,500 per child to send them to
Prep school. (Make sure you have this or they will take some of your items)
When building this house if you don't have much money it is fine to sell the
rug and the bearskin to get money. Don't spend too much money though because
you need to save up $20,000 for a yacht to retire. When you get promoted throw
a party (See no.4).
Unlockable:
1. Send children to prep school with straight A's- Monkey Butler
2. Get promoted to level 10- The Park (two player game)
3. Finish house in eight days or less- Rhino Trophy
011 Jobs
---------
011.1 General info
- - - - - - - - - -
To get a job look in any paper or computer and there will be three to choose
from in any one-day wait till the next day and they might change. When you get
your Sim to look for a job make sure their mood has at least one green or they
will refuse to look. Another thing that helps is to make sure you have a few
points in each category (cooking, mechanical, logic, creativity and body)
before you apply, then you will get promoted quicker and earn more money.
There are ten levels in each job, each needing more points then the last level
to get there. The five different types of jobs are: Military, Slacker,
Criminal, Musician , Entertainment and Extreme.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Tip: If you are finding it hard to get the points/ friends needed to get
promoted then you can take every other day off. If you take two days off in a
row you will get sacked though.
