Copyright Stuff --------------------------------------------------------------------------- A. INTRODUCTION Hey, welcome to my first ever FAQ. Wheeeee. Okay, enough of that. This guide is going to eventually cover the whole game, including Free Play, but for now it is simply to cover the Bust Out career mode. Also, in order to save paper and bandwidth, I will not be including stuff that doesn't need to be here. No control summary, no descriptions of what the various skills and motives are... read your manual for that. This is just to cover stuff that's NOT in the manual. Also, I have no intention of being fascist about this - if you have a better (or easier, or different, or whatever) method for any challenge, let me know. I will add it and credit you as requested. Just send it to uusmoo@yahoo.com. That's me. Good stuff, now let's get on with it. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- B. VERSION HISTORY 12/23/2003 -- First release, version 0.50 12/29/2003 -- Added Octagon, Pixel Acres, Tinsel Bluffs and Malcolm's Mansion, version 0.75 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- C. THE MISSIONS This section contains the requirements and suggested completion strategies for all of the EVENT-based missions. Those are the missions the require you to do certain things and pass certain tasks independent of your career. The rewards for advancing through your career will be summarized at the end of each house, while the details for what's needed in your career advancement will be covered in the 'The Career Paths' section of this guide. Also, the three 'Family Missions' will be briefly talked about prior to the level in which they are unlocked. Each house write-up will list: Theme -- just the theme which the designers used to set up the lot Resident(s) -- the names of residents, plus the Social Interaction which you will learn when you befriend them for the first time Promotions -- the career paths and levels to which you can be promoted while living in this house Malcolm Steals -- this will list the two items which Malcolm Landgrabb will show up to zap when you first move on to this lot Suggestions -- things to take into account when you first move to a lot in order to make your stay easier and more comfortable ** MISSION TITLE -- what the mission is called Method -- the requirements for completing the mission, and my suggestion on how to prepare and execute the goal Reward -- what you will unlock for completing the goal.

GOTH MANOR ---------------- Theme: Haunted House Residents: Mortimer Goth (Kiss Hand) Bella Goth (Nag About Friends) Promotions: Mad Scientist/Movie Star, Levels 4 & 5 Malcolm Steals: Seance Table, Skeleton Display Suggestions: The worst problem with Goth Manor is the kitchen. First of all, there's no fridge. I don't remember what else is missing, but that's a pretty glaring omission, so go get yourself a refrigerator right away. Most of your other needs are met, but you may need some skill-building items, depending on your career path. ** MAKE FRIENDS WITH BELLA OR MORTIMER Method: Get your relationship with either resident to 50 or more. Of course, you planned on doing this anyway, for their signature social, right? Reward: Signature Social of resident. ** CONTROL ANOTHER SIM BY PRESSING THE L2 OR R2 BUTTONS Method: Press the change Sim button. At this level, you will only be able to control your own Sim and the resident of the same gender. Reward: 'Tell Story' social interaction ** BUY $1000 WORTH OF IMPROVEMENTS FOR THE GOTHS Method: You need to buy something to improve the kitchen, so this should take care of itself. Reward: Spectre Detector Seance Table (Miscellaneous - Fun) ** EXORCISE THE GHOSTS BY HOLDING A SEANCE Method: First, buy the $1000 worth of improvements to unlock the Seance table. Now, buy the Seance table and put it where it was. Choose it and pick 'Contact Spirits'. This has to be done at night. You can do it with any resident. You'll have to complete this action several times to get every ghost. *** WARNING *** Exorcising all ghosts MAY cause problems later in Pixel Acres. I will confirm and update later. Reward: Anatomical Skeleton Display (Decorative) ** FIND THE FERN THAT WAS STOLEN FROM THE GOTHS Method: Visit Dudley's Trailer at any time. At the back of his lot, near an abandoned car, is a big plant (the fern). Choose it and select the 'Steal Fern' action. Reward: RGB Flashback (Vehicle) ** Career Rewards MAD SCIENTIST - VIRUS BREEDER Reward: Gene Genie Incubator (Skill Building) MAD SCIENTIST - CHEMIST Reward: Boggs' Memorial Commode (Plumbing) Unlock: Shiny Things Lab - Move or Visit MOVIE STAR - HORROR MOVIE EXTRA Reward: TumulTech "Sim-Phony" Synthesizer (Skill Building) MOVIE STAR - SOAP OPERA STAR Reward: 'Do Magic Trick' social interaction Unlock: Club Rubb - Move or Visit -------------- IIIb. STUDIO 8 -------------- Theme: Art Gallery Residents: Artie Fischl (Fake Out) Charity Grant (Tell Lies) Promotions: Counter Culture/Fashion Victim, Levels 4 & 5 Malcolms Steals: Artist's Block, Pottery Wheel Suggestions: There's almost nothing to do here for fun, or for comfort. You'll want to immediately invest in some things to remedy that. Bedrooms and kitchen are functional. There's only one shower, but I worked around that. You may want a second one. Not too much fixing up required. ** MAKE FRIENDS WITH ARTIE OR CHARITY Method: Get your relationship with either resident to 50 or more. Of course, you planned on doing this anyway, for their signature social, right? Reward: Signature Social of resident. ** CONTROL ANOTHER SIM BY PRESSING THE L2 OR R2 BUTTONS Method: Press the change Sim button. At this level, you will only be able to control your own Sim and the resident of the same gender. Reward: 'Sissy Fight' social interaction ** BUY $1000 WORTH OF IMPROVEMENTS FOR THE STUDIO Method: There's not too much obvious to buy here, so if you buy some fun or comfort items, spend well to get the total over this target. Reward: Beejaphone Guitar (Skill Building) ** HAVE A GREAT ART OPENING BY REARRANGING THE ART Method: Your actual objective here is to get 5 people in the same room and have that room rating be 90 or higher. Now, there's a lot of art here that pulls up room ratings, so you have two basic ways: bring the people to the art, or bring the art to the people. So, either get a group fun activity in one of the front rooms (the left one is best, as it is already over 90), or move all of the art into the kitchen and serve a meal. Managing your guests movements is tricky, which is why I prefer just moving everything to the kitchen. Make sure the kitchen is clean, though. Reward: KraftKing Potter's Wheel (Skill Building) ** VISIT MIMI'S PLACE AND MAKE SURE MIMI IS OK Method: This is harder than it sounds. Your objective is just to visit Mimi and clean up her garbage... but she spawns a lot of garbage on your first trip. And here's the thing, if you fail, and don't get all the garbage on your first visit, it will still be there when you go back, PLUS it will spawn more. So do this right the first time. First, make sure she has Maid service (move back in if you have to and hire one). Second, be in a good mood in the morning. Third, get to Mimi's BEFORE 10:00am, so that the maid will arrive. If you do all those things, then it should be a snap. I only stress this because, trust me, this is one you definitely want to finish on the first attempt. Reward: Cruisette Leviathan (Vehicle) ** Career Rewards COUNTER CULTURE - FLOWER CHILD Reward: Artist's Block (Skill Building) COUNTER CULTURE - MASSAGE THERAPIST Reward: 8-Step "Love Yourself" Wall Lamp (Lighting) Unlock: Casa Caliente - Move or Visit FASHION VICTIM - FINGERNAIL PAINTER Reward: Floyd Co. Laser Light Show FASHION VICTIM - WIG DESIGNER Reward: 'Air Kiss' social interaction Unlock: Club Rubb - Move or Visit ----------------- IIIc. TOANE'S GYM ----------------- Theme: Athletic Club Residents: Max Toane (Bear Hug) Goldie Toane (Nuggie) Promotions: Gangster/Jock/Paramilitary, Levels 4 & 5 Malcolm Steals: Treadmill, Climbing Wall Suggestions: There's no bedroom here yet. There's a back room off of the kitchen which is sitting empty, though, so use that. Also, there's nothing here to improve Creative or Logic which you'll need for two of the career paths, so you may want to get something for that, too. ** MAKE FRIENDS WITH GOLDIE OR MAX Method: Get your relationship with either resident to 50 or more. Of course, you planned on doing this anyway, for their signature social, right? Reward: Signature Social of resident. ** CONTROL ANOTHER SIM BY PRESSING THE L2 OR R2 BUTTONS Method: Press the change Sim button. At this level, you will only be able to control your own Sim and the resident of the same gender. Reward: 'Snap Towel' social interaction ** BUY $1000 WORTH OF IMPROVEMENTS FOR THE GYM Method: Just creating a bedroom should take care of this. Reward: Flush Force 5 XLT (Plumbing) ** GET FOUR SIMS TO JOIN TOANE'S GYM AS MEMBERS Method: Three conditions need to take place in order for a Sim to join the gym: a party must be underway, they need to be in a good mood, and they need to be in a good relationship with you. Now that's all very tricky, so the good news is, you don't need to do them all in one day. You can work on people one at a time if you like. When you're ready to invite somebody, call them over, start a party, and then try asking them as soon as they get there. If they decline, feed them and let them have some fun and ask again. Once you get four people total, no matter how long it takes, you're done. Reward: Turntablitz DJ Booth (Skill Building) ** GO TO DUDLEY'S TRAILER AND PARTY Method: The requirement for passing this mission is to have a relationship score of 5 or more with EVERY person at the party. So, go to your car and 'visit' Dudley, he will start the party as soon as you get there. Start off with some social eating to get a few points and then just use the 'Talk' option with every guest. Don't queue them up, though, because you want the guests to go about having fun until you're ready for them, but if you queue them, they'll stop and wait for you. One 'Talk' interaction is good for anywhere from 3 to 9 social points, usually, so just once with each guest should be enough. You will get your reward the instant you succeed, so until that happens, keep mingling! Reward: Maximoto Tsunami X-TEQ (Vehicle) ** Career Rewards GANGSTER - CAR THIEF Reward: High Dive (Build Mood - Pools Tool) GANGSTER - MUGGER Reward: Sonic Shower (Plumbing) Unlock: Casa Caliente - Move or Visit JOCK - STARTER Reward: Life Rocks! Climbing Wall JOCK - ALL-STAR Reward: Aeromaster Whifferpuff "Gold" (Electronics) Unlock: Club Rubb - Move or Visit PARAMILITARY - PARATROOPER Reward: 'Show Off Muscles' social interaction PARAMILITARY - CHOPPER PILOT Reward: Miss Memo Sleeper (Seating) Unlock: Shiny Things Labs - Move or Visit ------------ IV. Marriage ------------ When you move in to one of the Level 4 houses, a new goal becomes available called "Get Married". This can be accomplished on any level 4, 5 or 6 lot and once completed will be marked as done for each of those 7 houses. You cannot marry any of the storyline NPCs. You can only marry a resident of one of the three lots on 'Free Street', If you have not entered Free Play mode yet, then there will be two houses available to Visit and Phone: 1 Free Street: Candy Frutti, Debbie Frutti, Ginger Frutti, Pamela Frutti 2 Free Street: Peter Tutti, Rod Tutti, Woody Tutti, Ziggy Tutti If you have played with Free Play mode, then those lots will be transferred as is to Bust Out mode. Marriage is just a matter of getting romantically involved (relationship 70+ with a heart symbol), inviting your target over, getting them in a good mood, and then using the 'Propose' interaction. If you're seducing a Sim of the same gender then the 'Propose' interaction will change to a 'Move In' option, but they both accomplish the same thing. Once you are married, you can switch control to your spouse using the 'Change Sim' buttons (L2 and R2 for PS2), and you also share family friends with your spouse (for the purposes of career advancement), so if your spouse makes a friend, that's your friend, too. Reward: SpritzenFunken Q3 (Vehicle) ------------------ IVa. Casa Caliente ------------------ Theme: Love Shack Residents: Randy Hart (French Kiss) Paisley Rainbow (Booty Spank) Promotions: Counter Culture/Gangster, Levels 6 & 7 Malcolm Steals: Love Bed, Love Tub Suggestions: With the stealing of the Love Bed, that brings the grand total of places to sleep at the Casa to a whopping zero. So go bed shopping right away. You'll need places for yourself, Randy and Paisley. Losing the hot tub is bad, too, as you now don't have any source of fun that won't also tire you out, so you might want to fix that up as well. Since space is also at a premium, I like to build an expansion wing (second bedroom and bathroom) right across the hall from the existing bedroom and bathroom. You'll notice the cut-out size is exactly equal to the size of the existing bedroom/bathroom, so you can just match it all up. ** BUY $1500 WORTH OF IMPROVEMENTS FOR CASA CALIENTE Method: This should look after itself once you get the bedrooms set up. Reward: Sham-Shag Polar Bear Rug (Decorative) ** FALL IN LOVE / INVITE YOUR LOVER OVER Method: If you're already in love, then just call to invite that person over. If you're not already in love, then work on a relationship. Once it's at 70+ with a heart, you'll get your prize. Reward: Hawaiian Fantasy Tiki Torch (Lighting) ** SCORE WITH TWO SIMS AT THE SAME PARTY Method: When you're at Casa Caliente, you'll see a new social option become available called 'Try To Score'. First of all, this only works at parties, so don't bother unless there's one going. Second, this interaction is basically a French Kiss social, so only try it on somebody that you could get away with kissing (heart relationship, good mood). Third, because it's a romantic relationship, it will cause jealousy if other lovers are in the room. With all that said, You just need to start a party, get your lovers in a good mood, and then draw them off individually to try the interaction. Guests usually spend their time out by the pool, so it's safest to try it in the living room, using the 'Call Over' interaction to get them there. Reward: 'Romantic Kiss' social interaction ** GO TO STUDIO 8 AND HELP WITH THE "OUTSIDER ART" Method: You need at least three hours for this, but it's not terribly difficult. Just make sure you have a decent Creativity rating and head over to the Studio. When you get there, start painting on the easel in their kitchen. When you finish the art, if it's good enough, Artie will tell you and you'll get your reward. If it's not good enough, you can try again, or work your Creativity some more and come back and try again. Reward: That 70s Window (Build Mode - Windows Tool) Unlock: Goth Manor - Visit ** FIND A NEIGHBOR WHO KNOWS ABOUT CANDELABRAS Method: First, you have to accomplish the 'Score With Two Sims' mission in order to unlock the Romantic Kiss social, and you also need to have Goth Manor unlocked, so if you haven't already unlocked it from a previous career path, then do the 'Outsider Art' mission. Now all you need to do is develop a romantic relationship with either Bella or Mortimer. Once that's done, simply go over to Goth Manor and try the Romantic Kiss interaction. If all goes well, you'll get the reward. Reward: Torchemada Candelabra (Lighting) ** Career Rewards COUNTER CULTURE - YOGA INSTRUCTOR Reward: Vibromatic Heart Bed (Seating) COUNTER CULTURE - TRANSCENDENTALIST Reward: Sili-Camp Tent (Seating) Unlock: Pixel Acres - Move or Visit GANGSTER - BODY GUARD Reward: 'Force To Slap Self' social interaction GANGSTER - ARSONIST Reward: Niagara Love Tub (Plumbing) Unlock: Pixel Acres - Move or Visit -------------- IVb. Club Rubb -------------- Theme: Dance Club Residents: Bing Bling (Break Dance) Mona Lott (Dance Dirty) Promotions: Fashion Victim/Jock/Movie Star, Levels 6 & 7 Malcolm Steals: Dance Floor, Beverage Bar Suggestions: This place needs some serious fixing up. There are no bedrooms, there are no showers or tubs, and the only source of cooked food is a toaster oven. And worse yet, there's no room to put any new stuff. So you'll definitely need to haul out the construction gear here. The yard is big so you should have lots of room to build your living quarters. You'll basically need to build and buy everything for two full bedrooms, two full bathrooms and a full kitchen and dining area, minus the fridge which you already have. Fortunately, after that, the club has all you need for your enjoyment pleasure. ** BUY $1500 WORTH OF IMPROVEMENTS FOR THE CLUB Method: Piece of cake. Building the expansions will cost you at least ten times that amount. Reward: Bounce My Booty Dance Floor (Electronics) ** FALL IN LOVE / INVITE YOUR LOVER OVER Method: If you're already in love, then just call to invite that person over. If you're not already in love, then work on a relationship. Once it's at 70+ with a heart, you'll get your prize. Reward: KlassiKlean "More-saic" Tub (Plumbing) ** THROW THE ULTIMATE DJ DANCE PARTY Method: Re-install that dance floor as soon as you get it. Make sure one of the Sims at the club has a 7 (or preferably higher) in Creativity. The objective here is to get 5 people on the dance floor while your master DJ spins those wheels of steel. Throw a party, get your Creative person to 'Spin' at the DJ Booth. Once you got the music going, get the other Sims at the house to go 'Dance' on the dance floor, and then start clicking on the guests to join you. This one should be a snap. Reward: Q3 Recliner (Seating) ** FIND OUT WHAT'S GOING ON AT TOANE'S GYM Method: Hopefully you have Toane's Gym unlocked already. Head over for a visit, but make sure you have a decent Body rating or you'll likely fail. All that is required of you is to do three Triple Jumps in a row off the High Dive. If your body is high enough, this one is a yawner. Reward: Wicked Breeze Outdoor Shower (Plumbing) Unlock: Studio 8 - Visit ** SHOW OFF SOME CLUB RUBB MOVES AT STUDIO 8 Method: If you haven't unlocked Studio 8 yet (from a previous career, or from the last mission) then you'll need to do so. Then, make sure you've befriended Bing Bling to learn his 'Break Dance' interaction. Now all you have to do is go to Studio 8 and break dance for either Artie or Charity. Yes, it's that simple. Reward: The Apoplectic Photoelectric (Lighting) Unlock: Toane's Gym - Visit ** Career Rewards FASHION VICTIM - HAIR STYLIST Reward: 'Admire Body' social interaction FASHION VICTIM - MAKEUP ARTIST Reward: 'Slow Dance' social interaction Unlock: Tinsel Bluffs - Move or Visit JOCK - MVP Reward: 'Tell Dirty Joke' social interaction JOCK - SUPER STAR Reward: 'Wolf Whistle' social interaction Unlock: Tinsel Bluffs - Move or Visit MOVIE STAR - GAME SHOW HOST Reward: 'Booty Tease' social interaction MOVIE STAR - SITCOM STAR Reward: 'Moon Walk' social interaction Unlock: Tinsel Bluffs - Move or Visit ---------------------- IVc. SHINY THINGS LABS ---------------------- Theme: Science Lab Residents: Vaughn Braun (Coo Coo!) Mikino Nada (Whine And Complain) Promotions: Mad Scientist/Paramilitary, Levels 6 & 7 Malcom Steals: Tesla Coil, Telescope Suggestions: The Lab is already in pretty good shape. If you're married, then you're short a bed. Also, the best the kitchen has to offer is a microwave for cooking. Other than that, you have pretty much everything you need. ** BUY $1500 WORTH OF LAB EQUIPMENT Method: Okay, this doesn't have to be "Lab Equipment", it can be anything. Personally, I like to upgrade the kitchen to finish this one, but do what you like. Reward: KraftKing Inventor's Workshop (Skill Building) ** FALL IN LOVE / INVITE YOUR LOVER OVER Method: If you're already in love, then just call to invite that person over. If you're not already in love, then work on a relationship. Once it's at 70+ with a heart, you'll get your prize. Reward: Bird Of Paradise (Build Mode - Plants Tool) ** SHOW OFF ROCKET GNOMES AT "LAUNCH PARTY" Method: First thing you need is Rocket Gnomes. Rocket Gnomes are built on the Inventor's Workshop bench (there's already one in the Lab), but only if you have a Mechanical Skill of 8 or higher, otherwise you'll just build regular gnomes. Choose any way you like to build your Mechanical up, but if you've got a ways to go you might want to go with the Tesla Coil (which Malcolm steals at the beginning and is unlocked by the first Mad Scientist promotion in the Lab), which imparts Mechanical knowledge much faster than the books or the bench. Once you have that Mechanical up, start working on the bench. If your gnome is blue/green then you're not there yet. When you build a red/yellow gnome with sunglasses and scuba gear, that's your toy. Build five of those. Now, when you're ready, start a party. Once the party gets going, go into Buy or Build mode and move your gnomes outside, in a row. Go back into the game, and pick them to 'Launch' one after the other. As long as there is a party on, you'll pass, you don't actually need to call anybody over to watch. Reward: 'Hypnotize' social interaction ** FIND OUT WHERE THE CONTAMINATING SPORES ARE COMING FROM Method: Hopefully, you've unlocked Goth Manor already. Head over there. They have several giant ferns in their yard, like the one you stole from Dudley's. Steal one from them. Done. Reward: Giant Fern (Build Mode - Plants Tool) Unlock: Studio 8 - Visit ** GO TO STUDIO 8 AND CHANGE THEIR MINDS ABOUT SCIENTISTS Method: If you haven't already unlocked Studio 8 from a previous career, then go get the contaminating spores (above mission). If you can't do that either, then you'll have to come back later. Once Studio 8 is unlocked, you now need to do the Launch Party mission to get the necessary social interaction. Once that's all out of the way, you just need to head over to the Studio and use the 'Hypnotize' social on either Artie or Charity. Reward: Pathmatic Sliding Door (Build Mode - Doors Tool) ** Career Rewards MAD SCIENTIST - VIVISECTIONIST Reward: Tesla Coil 3.0 (Skill Building) MAD SCIENTIST - GENE SPLICER Reward: SLP Lamp (Lighting) Unlock: The Octagon - Move or Visit PARAMILITARY - COVERT OPS Reward: Horrorwitz "Star-Track" Telescope (Skill Building) PARAMILITARY - SECRET AGENT Reward: WarKraft Radar Dish (Decorative) Unlock: The Octagon - Move or Visit ----------- V. Children ----------- ** Coming Soon ** --------------- Va. The Octagon --------------- Theme: Military Base Residents: General Payne (Snap Out Of It!) Maxine Powers (Karate Chop) Promotions: Mad Scientist/Paramilitary, Levels 8 & 9 Malcolm Steals: Miss Gyrotic, Sentry System Suggestions: The Octagon isn't in bad shape. The furnishing are extremely spartan, nothing luxurious, but that fits the theme. You can upgrade the beds if you like, but I'd focus on the kitchen. They only give you a microwave, so getting a stove in there is a fine idea. Otherwise, things are pretty good. ** BUY $2000 WORTH OF EQUIPMENT FOR THE OCTAGON Method: Since there's not much you need to buy, you'll have to get creative. Buy some nice kitchen upgrades if you need to get it right away, but better yet just wait until you unlock Miss Gyrotic, which you'll want to re-install immediately. Reward: Atlantean Column (Decorative) ** MISSION: ELIMINATE SENATOR LANDGRABB Method: The actual requirement for passing this mission involves reducing one of Malcolm's motives to zero. This is tough, as most Sims (including Malcolm) will just go home before that happens. So, you need to do one of two things. One, you can artificially prevent him from leaving, by walling him in somewhere, building a fence around him, whatever. And then waiting. Or, you can find an activity that will instantly reduce him to zero. An efficient way to do this is to beat him up, but if you haven't been working on making him an enemy then this could take a while. The best way to do this is to unlock Miss Gyrotic (through the Mad Scientist career path). Then, when you invite Malcolm over, program the robot for 'Defense'. The robot will immediately seek out Malcolm and attack him, satisfying this mission. Reward: $5000 ** MISSION: FIND AND SHUT DOWN THE HACKERS Method: This is far too easy for such a high level building. Just head back to Shiny Things Labs, find any computer there (there are three - two in the lab and one at the front desk), and choose to 'Steal Computer'. That's it. Reward: Spartan Special Desk Lamp (Lighting) Unlock: Club Rubb - Visit ** MISSION: FIND AND SUPPRESS ANTIWAR PROTESTORS Method: This is a travelling mission to Club Rubb, so if you haven't already unlocked it, you'll need to complete the "Shut Down The Hackers" mission to get Club access. You also need to have a decent Body rating, of at least 6, preferably higher. Fortunately, the Octagon has a perfectly good AbDominator to help you with that. Once that's done, head over to the club. All you have to do is 'Attack' either Bing or Mona. Don't worry, the option will appear in the social list no matter what your relationship with them is for this mission. Provided you win the fight (this is why you need the high Body), you will get your reward. Reward: Toy Parrot by FauxFriend (Decorative) ** MISSION: SEEK AND DESTROY BIO WEAPONS Method: Another easy mission, assuming you can get to Goth Manor. Head over to the Manor and locate the Incubator that's in the little shed behind the house. Choosing it reveals a 'Destroy Bio-Weapon' option.

Pixel Acres --------------- Theme: Nudist Colony Residents: Chase Skurtz (Tell Secret) Ying Yangst (Feather Tickle) Promotions: Counter Culture/Gangster, Levels 8 & 9 Malcom Steals: Ping Pong Table, Tetherball, Hot Springs Suggestions: This is a tough place to live without fixing it up. The only food source they give you is a barbecue, and hors d'oeuvres. Also, Malcolm steals your only sources of fun. Another thing to consider is that since you're living outdoors, all your garbage is now going to affect your outdoor room score, which will kill your mood going to work (and all the time, really). A full kitchen upgrade, contained within a "dining tent" (just a separate building) is probably a pretty good idea. And get a fun activity quick until you unlock the stuff Malcolm stole. ** BUY $2000 WORTH OF IMPROVEMENTS FOR PIXEL ACRES Method: Just making this place reasonably easy to live in will cost at least that much. Shouldn't be hard. Reward: Hot Spring Conversion Kit (Plumbing) ** FRAME MALCOLM AND GET HIM BUSTED FOR INDECENT EXPOSURE Method: There are two basic methods to this that I know of. One is to use the built in, and unique to Pixel Acres, 'Get Free' social inter- action. You need to have a decent relationship with a Sim to have them accept your 'Get Free' offer... but if you can get five other Sims to accept while Malcolm is around (must be a party) then he'll join the fun. Much easier is just to acquire the Pixel Booty song from the Goth Ghost mission (described below), buy a synthesizer for Pixel Acres, and play it while he's there. Reward: $5000 ** SEDUCE SOMEONE AT CASA CALIENTE Method: Hopefully you made friends with one of the residents of Casa before you moved here. All you have to do for this mission is get a romantic relationship going with either Paisley or Randy (this may take a few days if you haven't done it already), then head over to Casa for a visit. Once there, find the bearskin rug and choose to 'Relax'. Once you're lying down, find your target and get them to 'Join'. After a little chit chat, eventually some more physical fun will take place. Once they've done some kissing, just cancel your 'Relax' action and you'll get your prize. Reward: Varmenkozze Euro Fireplace (Build Mode - Fireplace Tool) Unlock: Shiny Things Labs - Visit ** FIND SOMEONE INTERESTED IN CHASE'S SECRET FORMULA Method: This is a multi-step process. First of all, you must befriend Chase in order to learn his 'Tell Secret' social interaction. Second, you must be able to get to Shiny Things Labs, so if you haven't unlocked it from a previous career path, then do the "Seduce Someone At Casa Caliente" mission. Once you have that done, then the rest is easy - just head over to Shiny Things Labs and use the 'Tell Secret' interaction on either Vaughn or Makino and you're done. Reward: Boomtown Redwood Table (Surfaces) Unlock: Goth Manor - Visit ** FIND OUT WHAT "GHOST" OF A PROBLEM THE GOTHS ARE HAVING Method: The only requirements for this mission are to have a Creativity of 9 or higher, and to have unlocked Goth Manor for visiting. If your Creativity is too low, work on it. If you haven't unlocked Goth Manor yet then doing the last two missions will unlock it for you. Once you get both of those goals, head over to the Manor where the Goths while start complaining about their haunted synthesizer. Take that hint and head over to the synthesizer... as long as your Creativity is at the required level, you will get a message saying that you have acquired the ability to play the "Pixel Booty" song, and you'll get your reward. The Pixel Booty song is a song that is only played on the synthesizer, and it will cause anybody in the same room where it's played to immediately remove their clothing. While this is more of a gag than anything else, you will find it extremely useful in the 'Framing Malcolm' mission in this section. Reward: RustyRedneck Stump Chair (Seating) ** Career Rewards COUNTER CULTURE - LOVE GURU Reward: Tetherball (Miscellaneous) COUNTER CULTURE - PSYCHIC ACTIVIST Reward: 'Barnyard Taunt' social interaction Unlock: Malcolm's Mansion - Move or Visit GANGSTER - EXTORTIONIST Reward: Table Tennis from Slammo (Miscellaneous) GANGSTER - HIT MAN Reward: BroilBastard Stone Grill (Miscellaneous) Unlock: Malcolm's Mansion - Move or Visit ----------------- Vc. Tinsel Bluffs ----------------- Theme: Luxury Home Residents: Humphrey Hawks (Imitate) Fannie Adore (Smooth Talk) Promotions: Fashion Victim/Jock/Movie Star, Levels 8 & 9 Malcolm Steals: Microphone, Information Overlord Suggestions: This house is sweet even after Malcolm is done with it. You won't need to touch the kitchen. Temporarily replace the huge TV with a plasma screen or something. And you'll need to get a second bed for the spare bedroom between the small bathroom and the music studio. Otherwise, this is a cushy pad. ** BUY $2000 WORTH OF IMPROVEMENTS FOR THE HOUSE Method: A second bed and a new TV should easily do it, unless you're really cheap. Don't be. Reward: Constructed Table (Surfaces) ** GET MALCOLM TO PUT YOU IN HIS BIG MOVIE Method: There are a few ways to do this, but all of them have to take place at the 'Celebrity party', which you must throw. The first way is just to muscle it out of him. Lower your relationship with him, get in a cranky mood, and choose the 'Attack' interaction when it appears. Provided your Body is higher than his (he starts at 3, so that's not tough) then you win and he'll give you the part. The second is to get your roomies to help. If you can get one Sim with a Creative rating of 9+ to play an instrument, and another with Charisma 9+ to work the microphone in the same room, and get Malcolm in the room listening to them, and you've established a friendship with him (50+ relationship) and his mood is positive, then you can just 'Ask For Movie Role' and he should accept. But that's a lot of work. My preferred method is to just to raise your personal relationship level with him to 90+ and ask him. Your relationship needs to be at that level before the party starts, though, for that to work. And, of course, he has to be in a good mood. But if you're feeling adventurous, go ahead and try one of the first two. Reward: $5000 ** FIND OUT WHERE YOU CAN SCORE A RED POOL TABLE Method: You'll need a Body skill of 7+ in order to win this, the higher the better. Once you get there, head back to your old home, Club Rubb, and zero in on the red pool table. Start playing then find Bing and get him to 'Join'. Let them play for a while, it won't take long, and you'll get the message saying that you beat Bing. You're done here, back to the house. Reward: Overlord Pool Table (Miscellaneous) Unlock: Shiny Things Labs - Visit ** FIND A GOOD SCI-FI MOVIE SCRIPT Method: If you haven't unlocked Shiny Things Labs yet, then go ahead and beat Bing at pool (the previous mission) to get it open. Now, head over to the Lab, but make sure you're in a good mood or you won't be able to do this mission. Once you get to the Lab, find the main laboratory (with the VR glasses, Tesla Coil and Inventor's Bench). In one corner of the lab will be this weird looking device that's supposed to be a brain in a jar or something. You'll know you found the right object when the 'Steal Script' interaction is available. So, do that. Steal Script. Mission accomplished. Reward: Cypress Tree (Build Mode - Plants Tool) ** MUSCLE THE MUSCLE AT THE GYM Method: First, you need Toane's Gym unlocked, hopefully it is already. Now, all you need to do is head down there. Once you get there, find either Max or Goldie and select 'Attack'. You don't need to have a negative relationship with them already, the option will appear no matter what. And don't worry about your Body rating, you don't even need to win. All you have to do is start a fight. Sure, losing hurts your mood, but you have to be pretty tough to beat the gym dudes, so just take your lumps and go home with your new prize. Reward: Frigidarium Colossicus (Build Mode - Pools Tool) ** Career Missions FASHION VICTIM - RUNWAY MODEL Reward: CYMK Floodlight (Lighting) FASHION VICTIM - CENTERFOLD Reward: Fontis Publicus (Plumbing) Unlock: Malcolm's Mansion - Move or Visit JOCK - HEAD COACH Reward: Information Overlord by Bu Butubu (Electronics) JOCK - HALL OF FAMER Reward: Autocrat by Emporium Imperium (Seating) Unlock: Malcolm's Mansion - Move or Visit MOVIE STAR - SEX SYMBOL Reward: NostalgiCo Microphone (Skill Building) MOVIE STAR - DIRECTOR Reward: Manila 1000 Marine Aquarium (Decorative) Unlock: Malcolm's Mansion - Move or Visit --------------------- VI. Malcolm's Mansion --------------------- Theme: Swank Estate Residents: Malcolm Landgrabb (no social interaction) Promotions: All Careers, Level 10 Malcolm Steals: Himself (sort of) Suggestions: When you first arrive here, you'll get a little cut scene with your mom chasing Malcolm away. This can be good and bad. First, you get the house to yourself. Yay! But Malcolm does not ever move back, so even if you move out later, you can't come back to visit him here, all there will be is an empty house. Second, there's no additional income, and the three-day bills for this pad are over $6000. So really, do what you need to do and get out. Fortunately, the house "as is" doesn't really need any work, it's got it all, so have fun. ** NOTE ** There's a really annoying side-effect of the path-finding algorithm that manifests in the mansion. It seems that any Sim that is already outside will choose to stay outside to get to their bus rather than calculate the absolute shortest route. What that means is that somebody who is standing by the pool, near the kitchen door, in the back yard, will choose to walk all the way back around one wing of the mansion and then all the way to the front of the building again rather than just go through the two doors in the front foyer. This may not bother you, but it bugged me enough that I just took that whole entry way out so that there were just two separate houses with a path between them. ** SHOW OFF YOUR FORTUNE AND UPGRADE THE MANSION Method: Just spend $20,000 on various things. This can be spread over several stays, doesn't have to all be done at once. There's not much that needs to be purchased, so just upgrade things here and there. Reward: Limo Ultimo (Vehicle) ** SEND YOUR CHILD TO PREP SCHOOL WITH STRAIGHT A's Method: First thing you have to do is have a kid. Let's assume you've done that already. Now, your kid's letter grade will fluctuate depending on how seriously they seem to be taking school. Every time your kid goes to school in a good mood, they'll go up one grade (not a full letter grade, just one notch, like from a C to a C+). Every time they miss scholl they drop one full letter grade (three notches). So make sure your kid goes to school. Also, any computer or bookshelf will have a 'Study' option, which can also increase letter grades, good for speeding up advancement or for making up for a missed day, or even complete home schooling. If you drop to a 'D', you'll get a warning about military school. Hit 'F' and you'll lose your kid. The flip side is that if you can maintain 'A' or better for three straight days, you'll get a pretty sleek new ride. Reward: Sataniti "Diavolo" GT 1000 (Vehicle) ** Career Rewards COUNTER CULTURE - FULL TIME FREAK FASHION VICTIM - SUPER MODEL GANGSTER - MOB BOSS JOCK - LIVING LEGEND MAD SCIENTIST - DEATH RAY INVENTOR MOVIE STAR - MOVIE MOGUL PARAMILITARY - WAR MINISTER Rewards: Career Gnomes. Each career you finish, you will be awarded with a 'career gnome'. These are visible by going to the Temple of the Simoleon (that weird structure outside of Malcolm's front door) and choosing 'Activate'. You will also get a fun little video of people celebrating the greatness that is you, and you getting to humiliate Malcolm in a way related to your current career path. FINISH ALL SEVEN CAREERS TO SEE YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE Reward: Temple of the Simoleon (Decorative) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- D.
