012 - Motives
---------------

Hunger- any fridge/cooker will put this up the more expensive the appliance
the more their hunger will be satisfied. When you have enough money buy:
A food Processor- this will cut the coking time right down and as there aren't
enough hours in the day anyway this is a great help.
The best fridge- This provides 8 hunger and with all the other things that you
will have your Sim will get full after just one helping. It is expenive
though-$2,000
The best cooker- This will make your meals great and you won't need two. Make
sure that you have at least three cooking before you buy it though or you
could just have a dead Sim.(you can get away with two cooking points but you 
still occasionally get a fire)

Hygiene- Take a shower or a bath to fix this. Note: if you wet yourself this
will go right down. When you can afford it and when you've unlocked the sonic
shower (Get promoted to level 6- Hot to Trot) Buy this because it fills the
hygine meter and allot of the comfort. It also takes little time ompared to
the bath that gives the same comfort and hygine even if it costs more.
Note: If in the shower options it says "clean" then do it before you use it
or it won't work.

Energy- the best way is to sleep in a bed but you can take a nap on a sofa.
For a quick fix you can drink an espresso. When you can afford it and when you
have ulocked it buy the The Vibromatic Heart Bed (Increase house value from 
$46,050 to $48,050-Hot to Trot) this bed is not only the best bed for energy 
and comfort it also comes with:
Vibrate- They lie down and enjoy
Relax- Just relax in it
And Play in bed- Get one of them to vibrate and then with the other click on 
the other bed on select "play in bed" and they will go under the covers and do
their stuff. This will bring Fun and social up but energy down. Also both of 
the Sims need to be in a good mood before they do it.

Social- Ring someone to talk to him or her or anyone that you live with. The
best way to get this up is to talk to the person tha you live with but if you
don't live with anyone then ring someone it just won't do it as quickally.
most of the time it is best to live with someone then this meter won't be hard
to fill. 

Comfort- Loads of things sort out this problem such as: sleeping, sitting,
some showers give them comfort aswell. For this I would have:
-The sonic shower (Get promoted to level 6- Hot to Trot) Buy this because it 
 fills the hygine meter and allot of the comfort.
-The The Vibromatic Heart Bed (Increase house value from 
 $46,050 to $48,050-Hot to Trot) this bed is not only the best bed for energy 
 and comfort it also comes with:
 Vibrate- They lie down and enjoy
 Relax- Just relax in it
 And Play in bed- What do you think it means?
-And the "The Deiter" by Werkbunnst this gives 8 comfort, 5 energy and 3 
 room. It is the best sofa that you can get and is only $1,100 which is not
 that much for what it gives.

Bladder- basically, go to the toilet. For this I wouldn't bother getting the
best one just the cheap normal one will do just as well it just dosn't give
any comfort which you don't need.

Fun- this one will change from Sim to Sim playful Sims enjoy computers and VR
goggles but serious Sims enjoy reading books. Again when you can afford it buy
the "Meet Marco" computer as it gives 9 fun. If you can't afford this buy the
SSRI Virtual Reality Set which gives 7 fun. Whatever you do buy don't buy
anything that gives less then 4 fun or you will be there all day waiting for
the meter to go up. This is what I have in my house:
  The best computer
  The goggles
  The widescreen TV  
I have all these to get there fun up and it gives them more to do.


Room- have pictures in every room to keep it up plus have no rubbish around 
the house. The picture that I have found to be the best is Portrait Grid by 
Payne A. Pitcher which gives 8 room and it is only $3,200 this may seem a lot
but it is worth it. Another thing is not to have tables outside because for 
some reason it brings their room right down when they go outside, this will
make them in a worse mood for work and won't be able to get promoted as easy.   


013 - Personality
------------------ 

Neat- if you have this then your Sim will make the bed, tidy up, wash there 
hands after going to the toilet all the time. I wouldn't have any neatness
because they just waste time of which you don't have much.

Outgoing- the more of these they have the easier they will find it to make
friends. I would fill this to about half because you need this but don't waste
too many points on it. The more you fill this the longer it will take to fill
the social meter.

Active- if you have it high then your Sim will enjoy getting sweaty and doing 
physical labour. I would again have this about half full for the same reason 
as above. The more you fill this the quicker it wil take to get body points
but it dosn't make that much difference though.

Playful- the more of these you have then the more your Sim will like playing
on computers, etc. If you only have a couple of these then they will like 
reading books instead. I would put a bit more than half for this because it
is easier to get their fun filled. 

Nice- they will make friends a lot easier the more of these you have and they
won't be nasty to other Sims. I personally would fill it or at least have 
it very high.   


014 - Career points
--------------------

Cooking- Study using a bookcase have at least three of these or you could set
yourself on fire. The more of these that you have the more the food you cook
will fill you up.

Mechanical- Study using a bookcase have at least three of these or you won't
always be able to fix broken items. If you buy a workshop you can make gnomes
and then decarate your garden or just sell them off.

Creativity- To get this up you can: paint, use an artists block, Use a guitar 
or play the piano. You will only need these for your job. Also if you use a 
easel or an artists block you can sell your work off. The price that you get 
for your work rises with the more points that you have.

Body- Use either a weight lifter or the treadmill. You don't need these other 
than for some careers. They also take an age to get.

Charisma- just speak into any mirror. Only jobs need this. These also take an 
age to get and they are really anoying when they are getting them.

Logic- You can get these in two ways: they are using a chess set or using the
telescope. When using the telescope sometimes you can get taken into the 
stars, when this happpens just wait and your Sim will come back.

015 - Relationships
--------------------

All careers friends. To get them ring someone and invite them round.

When they ring if they say they won't come round or they don't like you just 
ring again straight away keep doing this and they should say yes. Their 
replies are totallyramdom so just keep trying.

When they are round at your house at first just talk to them because the
weirdo’s don't like being complimented at first. When they are your friend 
compliment them and joke with them. After you get to 80 and above flirt with
them but wait till you love them and have 100 relationship before you try and 
kiss them or your relationship will drop rapidly. Talking to people is the 
only way to get your social up.

To get your Sim to do the same thing twice in a row you:

If you wanted to talk twice in a row first you pick talk, then you pick a 
different one and then talk again. After you have done this press 'select'
and press 'X' on the one that you don't want and then there will be two in a
row. (Do this lots of times and you will have one thing reapeted up to 7 
times)
