======== LEVEL 1: ========
Once your inside the front of the barn... ``````````````````````````` GOAL 1: Meet Uncle Hayseed ``````````````````````````` 1) Talk to Uncle Hayseed, be nice! Uncle will explain to you the basic controls if you choose to view them. Make sure your friendship level with him is 30 and above. 2) From the chat window, choose 'I have something to give to you' (from now on I won't repeat myself on how to go to the inventory so remember it!). Then using the arrows choose the Family Photo Album and press A to give to Uncle Hayseed.
********************************************************************** NOTES: By now your character will complain that he's hungry or needs to go to the toilet.
1) Go inside, walk up to where the stove is. Press A to cook breakfast. You see that blue fridge to the left of you? Pressing A while the arrow is pointing at it will make your character fix himself up a quick snack, when I say quick I mean he gets his food quick! 2) If your character needs to go to the toilet, go near the toilet and press A. If he says when your chatting to someone that 'whoa I reak', go to the shower and press A to have a shower. 3) If your character is tired of standing, pressing A on any character near a sofa or seat will give him the option to sit down. 4) You can sleep on a bed or a double pillowed sofa by pressing A on it when the arrow is on top of it.
Remember the notes above because I won't repeat them again! **********************************************************************
````````````````````````````` GOAL 2: Welcome to SimValley `````````````````````````````
1) Go to the toilet, have a shower, have breakfast and go to bed. You can do all these things by going to the item, and pressing the function button A.
````````````````````````` Goal 3: Inherit the Barn `````````````````````````
1) Talk to your Uncle after your all cleaned up. He will tell you to move all items to the barn in the room which is upstairs. 2) Go to the backyard, which is through the door in the kitchen. 3) Go to the wooden chicken, press A to 'put in pocket', do the same for the bed, heading east & now do the same for the old sofa, heading a little south now select the fridge that has electric sparks through it and choose repair then select the fridge and choose 'put in pocket'. Repair the TV and do the same. 4) Go to the barn which the entrance can be found in the front yard, go upstairs, press the select button, navigate to the inventory using L & R, by pressing A on an item choose the location (red means you cannot place it and yellow means you can). Place all the items in the barn whichever way you like, since it will be your home now for some time. Now talk to Hayseed.
``````````````````````` Goal 4: Farmhand Blues ```````````````````````
1) Go to the tractor, select it by pressing A, tune the tractor two times so it no longer needs any further tuning. You now should have gained two extra bars for your mechanical skills. Now talk to Uncle Hayseed.
Goal 5: Earn some Simoleans 1) Near the steps to your left, there will be a blue board with a sign on it, press A on it to mow the lawn. This is your first job and you will get paid around 150 simoleans, you can only mow the law once per day and don't mow over the flowers because you will then lose 20 simoleans and the rocks can help you - they make you spin towards a different direction when you go over them which sometimes can be very helpful expecially if your about to mow over a flower. 2)Wait till its the next day, mow the lawn again to get a promotion, (your salary should be around 250 simoleans by now since your on promotion level 2). Now wait till the next day again and mow the lawn once more time to get a promotion of level 3, so that by now if you mow it correctly from now on your wages will be anywhere from 380 to 420 simoleans but only if you mow all the weeds and avoid all the flowers (get used to it, because this will be your #1 job for some time. Now talk to Uncle Hayseed.
========== Level 2 ==========
``````````````````````````````` Goal 1: Escape of the Chickens ```````````````````````````````
1) In this mission you have to find 8 chickens & hand them back to Uncle Hayseed, refer to the FAQ on how to find ALL the chickens. Type this code in your text editors search function to go there now: chkqa Simply just go to Uncle Hayseed, press A when facing directly next to him, choose 'I have something for you', choose a chicken, it will tell you that you have 8 chickens in your inventory so choose that you want to give them all to Uncle Hayseed. Job Finished. 2) Now you have to find detective Dan to complete this segment. Have breakfast, sleep, have a shower and go to the toilet if need be and head out of the farm. Look inside and near the Biker bar, and look inside and near the item shop. If you can't find him call him to find out where he is, he'll show up soon. Once you find him he'll say that the Veloci Rooster is responsible for the chickens being kidnapped and apparently you'll also find out later in the game that Nora Zeal-Ott's mother was killed by it. Now go back to the farm and speak with Uncle Hayseed.
While this next goal does not appear in the 'to do' checklist it is required to be completed.
`````````````````````` Goal 2: Shopping Time ``````````````````````
1) Go to the barn and go upstairs where you kept all your furniture, put the ruffled up brown sofa in your pocket --> Go to the Spoke Biker Bar and talk with the bartender guy, give him the sofa and he'll pay you some cash for it. To hand the sofa over, choose the sofa and press A. 2) Wait till there's a shower to buy at the item shop, purchase the shower at the shop for §130. Now that you have the shower go inside the barn, through the door that's just right to the parked car and place the shower somewhere there.
````````````````````````` Goal 3: Serve the Public `````````````````````````
1) Become friends with Nora, read the notes below! 2) Find & talk with Detective Dan, he'll tell you that there might be some cheating going around in the item shop auctions that happen betwen 5-7PM everyday. Go visit the auction and choose an item, remember you don't have to bid - he only wants you to go there and see if anything happens. Nothing happens. So visit the detective again to report back.
******************************************************* NOTES: 1) During Level 1 and early Level 2 you WILL see Nora Zeal-Ott, I'd suggest you become *good* friends with her right now (relationship level 50+)! In goal 3 you have to become friends with her anyhow so why not start now? You can have her as your roommate if you wish too.
So where do you find her? She's the girl who has orange hair, wears a cyan shirt, has 2 small pony tails on the back of her head and *always* says 'Hi!' to you no matter what your relationship with her is as long as you've spoken to her before. She hangs out alot outside of Uncle Hayseed's farm and down the road to the west a little, you see her hanging out here alot during Level 2. Also she will hang out near the Spoke Biker bar and sometimes inside there too.
A good way to be friends with her, here are the do's and dont's of what you should and shouldn't say:
DO'S: * Any 'did you know' questions is okay, but nothing that insults her. * Since her dream is to be a politician, the phrase 'it looks like everyone in town supports you!' is good. * Use the phrase 'I know alot of history about SimValley' * Use the phrase 'There's nothing to be done.' * Use 'sorry for my poor taste' * Use 'Politicians never return my phone calls.' * Use 'If you get elected, what's in it for me?' * Use 'You have more energy than Niagra falls' * Use 'Is there anything I can do for you.' She always tells you to hand out campaign buttons to people, if you deliver them on time you get paid for it. Nice. * Use 'Psst. I just registered to vote.' * Use 'Want to move in with me?' Use only if your good friends with her, and even if your not friends with her nothing happens but she says its not a good idea. * Use 'I'd vote for you in any election'
DONT'S: * Don't use 'I'll bet your ticklish'. Use it after your friends with her. * NEVER use 'You look and act like a robot.' * Don't use 'Let's create some headlines, Nora Kiss me!' use this one only when your relationship with her is 80 and above. * NEVER use 'Dirty Politician' * NEVER use 'Voting is so boring' * In short, don't use any of the ticklish, kissing and hugging stuff. Wait till your a good friend (Relationship level 60) or a boyfriend (relationship level 80+).
Well you get the idea.
2) The 2nd point I would like to make is after you finish Goal 2, you'll most likely see the fisherman Olde Salty, you will keep some social contact with him later on in the game so build up the relationship level with him, though its not required.
*******************************************************
```````````````````````````` Goal 4: Clear the Roadblock ````````````````````````````
Your Uncle says that there are some hooligans with bikes racing across SimValley and especially near his farm. Pay Dusty Hogg a visit. 1) He'll tell you that he and his pals were racing really fast but his bike fell down and is now broken. Build relationship with Dusty Hogg (the guy always wearing a black shirt and a bandana) to level 25. I'd suggest you instead become friends with him because you'll keep some ties with him later on. 2) Speak with Dusty Hogg, he'll tell you he lost his helmet. Go east of the Burning Spoke Biker bar, now your facing a corner go completely south --> now head west through the opening in the fence and head north past the two trees to see a red coloured helmet. Pick it up and give it back to Dusty Hogg. 3) He'll apreciate your help but his bikes broken. Tell him you'll fix it and he will bag you a little that a little punk like you can't fix his grand bike. You'll show him. Press A when the arrow is above the bike, choose repair and wait till the bike is repaired. Now talk with Dusty Hogg.
````````````````````````` Goal 5: Get some Wheels! `````````````````````````
1) Talk with Dusty Hogg, he'll say that he'll tell his friend to let you in to play the mini game that was inaccessible before! Tend bar at the Spoke Biker bar, this game is known as Smoothie Slider, go to the place in the bar near where the bartender is. Press A while facing face front on the blue sign to play. In this game your job is to pass the beer over to the person who needs it. 2) Talk to Dusty Hogg. He'll tell you that his bikes paint came off, but you'll fix that! Press A on the bike and choose repaint. You can paint is bike as many times as you wish but it doesn't make a difference. Now talk with Dusty Hogg. He will be very happy with you, when you talk with him choose the option that will say something like 'I wish I was a biker like you!', Dusty will get impressed and will tell you to pick up his old scooter first thing tomorrow morning at your Uncles farm. 3) Talk to your Uncle. You should now collect 5 cans, you an find these cans all over the ground. Just press A to pick them up, you can also pick up clogs, radioactive rods for some good amount of cash and even 3 eared mice that will bring in lots of money to you! 4) Wait till next morning, pick up the scooter and from your the farm's entrance head east, at the bend head south and at the fork turn right and you'll see a building, that's VirtuChem Labs. Give them your cans, clogs and even a radioactive rod if you've picked that up for some well deserved cash!
``````````````````````` Goal 6: Moving Out - 1 ```````````````````````
1) Talk with your Uncle, he'll say that you've grown and that you should get a place of your own. Find and talk with Giuseppi Mezzoalto (refer to the FAQ on how to find him) He'll tell you if you want to move out or not. Either way you'll have to say yes so agree with him. Now is the right time to be friends with this guy, he'll help you ALOT in the near future so be friends with him. Your now in front of a building, it is the Clocktower! Go inside, press A on the crate to view inventory, now just select the items you want to get out and place them in your NEW house whichever way you like. Now is a good time to really have a roommate, not required but for some fun! 2) If you did what I told you before you should have 4 friends by now, your Uncle, Giuseppi Mezzoalto, Dusty Hogg and Zora Zeal-Ott. This goal requires you to have 1 friend, but you have several friends now so this goal is satisfied. 3) Talk to Uncle Hayseed at the farm. You must now pay him 500 simoleans because he let you stay in his barn for such a time. What kind of Uncle is he?? 4) Now you have to earn a 2nd job promotion. If you did what I told you before your status should be level 3 in the Mowing Madness game in the farm. Visit the Spoke Biker Bar, play the Smoothie Slider minigame and gain the promotion of Level 2. It won't harm to be promoted to Level 3 either, so work away till your on level 3 if you wish.
That's it! You have now completely finished levels 1 & 2. Welcome to Level 3 now! That wasn't so hard! Now...was it?
============= Level 3 =============
`````````````````````````` Goal 1: At the Waterfront ``````````````````````````
1) You'll have to impress the fisherman for this one, and NO...the fisherman is not Olde Salty, it's O. Phil McClean who's the guy wearing the yellow coat and who has the fishing rod. To impress him, get your relationship level with him to level 40. To find him, he usually *always* hangs near the docks fishing, visit the docks early morning to almost certainly meet him. 2) Earn the mechanical skill level to 2, if you did what I told you to back in the farm about tuning the tractor TWICE and not just once this would be satisfied. To level up on your mechanical skills simply just go to the library and read the books that are in the top left hand corner on ground floor. 3) Buy the fishing rod from ANY item shop and not Bric 'a' Brac. If its not there visit the place the next business day. 4) Apparently O. Phil McClean has a brother who wrote a book on how to fish, by the fishing book at Bric 'a' Brac. If it's not there look into the place another time.
``````````````````````````````````````` Goal 2: The Raging Chicken Competition ```````````````````````````````````````
By this time, if you don't yet have 200 simoleans, then I'd advise you to save up for it. Don't forget to save up a little extra for food and the bills you have to pay. If you never knew you had to pay bills check your mailbox every now and then by pressing A on it when the arrow is over it.
1) Earn a body strength level of 2. Since you *might* not be a member of the gym yet, just punch your all on a boxing bag twice. If you don't have one you can purchase it at any item shop for §575 (§ = simoleans). 2) Look for a guy named Eddie Renalin, he's the guy who has dark skin, a heavy body mass and usually hangs around outside the gym. Speak with him and gain the relationship level with him to 40, to 'impress' him. Just do not keep him out of your sight just yet! 3) He'll say that you have to pay him 200 simoleans so he can get you the gym membership. Pay him 200 simoleans.
````````````````````` Goal 3: Library Card `````````````````````
First talk with Hester Primm, she is the librarian in SimValley. She can be found near the library, near the sand dunes that's just beneath the sea food restaurant and sometimes also near the clocktower-gym area. She has orange hair and a green coloured shirt (you know! the green colour like in the apples.lol).
1) Go to the library, the building is east up the road from the VirtuChem Labs and just west right next to the Country Cafe. Press A to squash all 15 of them, in the 1st and 2nd floors. 2) Talk to the people around the city who have the '!' sign in red, find three of them who have the library books (you'll know once you chat with them) and they will give you the library books. Actually there are five people in total who have the books but finding and giving just three books to the librarian is enough to reopen it.
The five people who have the books are: * Mad Willy Hurtzya * Claire Clutterbell * Misty Waters * Daddy Bigbucks * Nicki Knack
Just find three of the above people, ask for their books and you'll be fine, although its better to find all 5 of the above people and give the books to her so they don't pester you when you go see them to hand their books in.
3) Give the three books to Hester Primm who can be found near the library, near the sand dunes that's just beneath the sea food restaurant and sometimes also near the clocktower-gym area. She'll thank you for the help and allow you to go to the library. She will also give you the cookbook she wrote, she says her book hasn't been sold yet and she kinda forces you to take it and read it. 4) Learn cooking. Go to the library, up the stairs, head to the eastern area of the room and read the cooking book there. You only have to read the book once, just enough to learn cooking at level 1.
`````````````````````````````` Goal 4: The Rise of Club Rubb ``````````````````````````````
1) Find & talk to Maximillian Moore (the afro dude), who is the owner of Club Rubb. I found him nearby the hospital, he'll agree for your assistance. 2) Find Det. Dan D. Mann, he sometimes hangs around inside the jail, around the Burning Spoke Biker bar and in the item shop that's south of the Biker bar. The best way to find him is to call him and ask him where he is. Once you see him build your relationship level with him to level 30. 3) Pay the detective 1000 simoleans, read above for some tips on how to find him. Check out the FAQ as well for some more help. 4) Go to Bric 'a' Brac (Nicki Knack rings a bell?) and purchase 10 Flyers from the store for only 2 simoleans each.
Then find any 10 people and for each one hand them a flyer, then go see the detective and he'll agre to re-open the closed club.
`````````````````````````` Goal 5: Deep Dark Secrets ``````````````````````````
1) Acquire a Crowbar: To get this go to Uncle Hayseed's farm and ask him nicely for one. 2) Find the City Blueprints: Once your living in the Clocktower, you will see a hiddin trapdoor just right of the stairs, press A to open it and you will see the blue prints just below. Then give the blue prints to Giuseppi Mezzoalto. 3) To lower the maintenance ladders go to the sewers via the manhole near north of the library, just press A to go down, the button you must push is just a little east from where you are. Then the screen will show that all the ladders have been lowered.
Now you can access the sewers using ANY manhole you see, using the sewers is a really good way to travel fast around SimValley.
Now you've finished this mission! Easy, wasn't it? I said that because there were a few people totally confused with this mission and basically just level 3 in general.
``````````````````````` Goal 6: Moving Out - 2 ```````````````````````
Visit Nicki Knack, she's usually hanging near the fish store and her shop, Bric 'a' Brac. She'll start saying that she's not making any good business because no one has moved into her 'Waterfront Villa' yet. Agree with her that you'll move into it.
1) Make 4 friends. You should have 4 friends already by now if you don't already have. 2) Earn 3000 simoleans to pay for the initial rent to Knicki Knack, but don't give her the money just yet. 3) Gain a level 3 promotion at either Bait Flinger (fishing hotspots near the docks) or Power Lifter (weight lifting at the gym). Personally, I'd go for the fishing because It IS easier. Read the job list & descriptions section for helpful advise on how to tackle these occupations head on.
Now you can go see Knicki Knack and give her the 3000 simoleans. After that's over talk with Giuseppi Mezzoalto to arrange your moving out to the Waterfront Villa. Totally unrelated, but the bills you get in the mail for rent at this place is 400 simoleans. So the jobs I would be doing right now to keep up with the bills and money savings is the Level 3 Mower Madness and the Level 3 fishing. For details on the locations for the fishing hotspots refer to the city map which can be found on *this* very guide.
You've moved into the Waterfront Villa and have advanced to level 4.
============= Level 4 =============
Level 4 is basically a freelancer type level, you can do whichever goal you want to do first and it doesn't really matter.
`````````````````````````````````` Goal 1: Experience the Paranormal ``````````````````````````````````
********************************************* NOTES: 1) Before you go inside the house and confront the ghost you *must* have logic skills up to level 4, you can learn logic in the library in the 2nd floor or you can gain logic by playing chess, buy the chessboard at any item shop.
2) For this mission make sure your mechanical skills are at level 3! You can get more mechanical skills by reading the books at the library. When you first enter the library the books you need can be found on the top left hand corner of the room. *********************************************
Ok! Before we start this ghostly experience, let's head out to the sewers, just press A on any manhole you see to climb down into the underground sewage system. What are we doing here you might ask? Before we start this mission we need to get one important item belonging to the ghost, its ashes. Now depending on where you climbed down at, the directions leading to the ashes is different so look at the detailed SimValley Underground Sewage map I wrote that's in this guide, for the directions.
Found the golden coloured urn with the ashes? Good, now you must climb the ladder that leads to the haunted shack which is Ladder 10 - you can locate it using the Underground Sewage map. Now let's begin the real mission:
Go near the fence leading to the haunted shack, if you don't have the mechanical skill level of 3 you can try as might to open it, it won't, but since you do (assuming you do because you should have it by now) read on!
1) Firstly we need to 'pick' the rusty lock, since you have the mechanical skill of 3 it can be done and the gate will open. To 'pick' the lock, face it and press A, then choose pick lock. 2) Since you have logic skills up to level 4 you'll be fine when your talking to the ghost. Enter the house on the 1st level, you'll see the ghost so talk to it. After a while the ghost will lay out the 5 riddles on you, so if you get them all correct you'll be able to keep his furniture for free but if you get them wrong he makes you unconcious and you end up in the hospital, here are the solutions: ________________________________________________________ | Order ::: Question ::: Answer| |--------|------------------------------------|--------| | 1 |*How many sides does a circle have? | 2 | | 2 |*Which does not belong in this | | | | group? apple, grape, bannana or | bannana| | | pear? | | | 3 |*How many letters are in the | | | | alphabet? | 11 | | 4 |*What other letter fits in the | | | | following: B C D E I K O X? | H | | 5 |*When I am filled I can point the | | | | way. When I am empty, nothing moves| | | | me. I have two skins - One without | | | | & one within. What am I? | A glove| |--------|------------------------------------|--------|
After that's over he will congratulate you for being smarter than he gave you credit for. Once the chat window appears again, choose 'I have something for you.' And give the ghost the golden urn that contained in it has the ashes that belongs to his body.
He'll thank you and promises to be peaceful and not scare the wits out of anyone who walks near his shack. Because he's happy he got his ashes back he says to you that he will allow you to take any one item you like from his secret cellar. Then exit the house and down via the steps.
While your still in the vicinity of the shack, head east past the several graves and press A on the brown trap door that was not there before (TIP: near the trap door you might also see the 3 eared mouse - pick it up and sell it at VirtuChem for cash!) your now inside the ghost's secret cellar.
Sure, the ghost only wants you to take just one item, but we'll take more than that! You can take as many items as you want, after that's over head back up the ladder and down the manhole to get outta this creepy place!
``````````````````````````` Goal 2: Art for Art's Sake ```````````````````````````
1) Finally here's your chance to be a true artist! Talk with Daschell Swank and he'll tell you that SimValley needs an art exhibition, and a masterpiece created right here in SimValley can sway the mayors thoughts to host one. Follow the map of the gardens I wrote which can be found after the FAQ (you can look at it right now by inputting the code 'svmp' without the quotes of course in the search function of your text editor!).
Press A on the painting board to start the *long* work, after the masterpiece has been painted frame it and then hand it to Daschell Swank for 5000 simoleans! That covers all of Goal 2.
``````````````````` Goal 3: Rock Star! ```````````````````
1) After talking with Mel Odious about how he wants to be part of Vera Vex's rock band and how he didn't make it. Our first job is to find a place we could jam. Talk with Uncle Hayseed at the farm and he'll let you jam there. 2) For this one, your popularity with the entire city in general has to be 25. If you've helped everyone up until now and have several friends by now (you should have 4 by now) then this demand will be satisfied. 3) Develop a look: To gain a creativity level of 3 just paint a few portraits (did you buy the painting kit?) and go to the north western part of the gym near the mirror and the door. Press A on the mirror and your character will stare at it for quite a while (sounds like he's lost it), but this actually builds Charisma. Stare once again and your charisma will be level 2. Which satisfies this demand. 4) Acquire one cool guitar: Talk with your mate Giuseppi Mezzoalto and he'll give you one - purchase it from his van. 5) Impress the Local band Leader: Easy one! Talk to Vera Vex and make your friendship level 50 with her and she'll let you join the band.
`````````````````````````` Goal 4: Pizza Pandemonium ``````````````````````````
Find and talk with Lottie Cash before you start this mission. She's usually on the same road that you use when you leave the farm by heading east, mostly around midday.
1) For this one go to the seafood restaurant, refer to the map if you don't know where it is. The chef is the guy who's in white, a little fat and has a hat on. Make friends with him, get the relationship level with him up to 60. 2) Prove your worth! Here you have to get your cooking skills up to level 5. So visit the library, go upstairs and there on the east side there are cooking books that you can read. Read them until your cooking skills ar at level 5. 3) Pay the Show entry fee: For this one talk with Lottie Cash. She'll say that she's thinking about purchasing the sea food restaurant and the cooking TV show that gets filmed over there. Pay her 2500 simoleans and from now on you can access the pizza making minigame found in the sea food restaurant by pressing A on the blue board.
````````````````````````````````` Goal 5: Champion of the Simverse `````````````````````````````````
Find & talk with Daddy Bigbucks, I found him at Knick Knacks. He'll say that this town needs a triathlon, so he wants you to complete the three challenges so that it might impress the mayor and in doing so he will open up the 1st annual SimValley Extreme Games.
1) Catch the Veloci Rooster, this mad chicken runs fast everywhere but he's not hard to catch, make your body level 6, my body level was 8 so maybe it was easy for me. TIP: If you watch closely at the movement patterens of this chicken it sometimes goes in the same direction when its running, knowing this you can catch it, that's how I did it. 2) Visit Country Cafe, since your body level is at 6 you'll have no problem doing this. If its not you better train for it. Press A on any of the two bulls that are presented to you and ride any one of them till you satisfy this challenge. 3) Since your on body level 6, go to the gym and the boxing ring. Press A on the boxer to knock out Mad Willy Hurtzya (he doens't hurt ya anymore!).
***************************************************** NOTE: Check out the FAQ, the questions 9 and 47 will help you on beating the boxer up if your having trouble with him. *****************************************************
After that's over go see Daddy Bigbucks, I found him during auction time in the item shop that's near the jail. He'll be happy to see that you did all the events and he'll pay you 1000 simoleans. But do not leave Daddy Bigbuck's sight just yet!
********************************************** NOTE: 1) You can build body strength by going to the gym since you now have paid the membership fee of 200 simoleans, and start lifting weights. Also, boxing builds up the body strength as well. **********************************************
``````````````````````` Goal 6: Moving Out - 3 ```````````````````````
Talk with Daddy Bigbucks and he will agree by saying that's a 'fine' idea, he will let you rent his summer mansion. Now let's finish up this mission so we can move to a bigger and better home!
1) For this one you have to make 8 friends, by this time you shouldn't have to make anymore friends because by now you should have eight friends. 2) Now you'll have to pay Daddy Bigbucks 10,000 simoleans so you can rent out his summer mansion. Once you have the 10,000 by working hard of course, hand the money in to him and he'll tell you to find Guiseppi Mezzoalto who will pack your stuff up. Forget about Guiseppi for now. 3) Now you'll need to gain a level 4 promotion from one of these occupations: Jam session or Pizza chef.
Personally I would go with the Jam Session and not the Pizza Chef because its alot easier to level up and do.
If you want to do Jam Session follow this simple guide: Go to Club Rubb, since Jam session starts at 7PM you better hurry up if the club is about to close!
Make sure though that your creativity level is 6 and your charisma level is 3 otherwise you can't get promoted to level 4. And your aiming to earn 400 simoleans.
On the right shows the notes you have to play, when they go over the target that's on the scroll if you don't key in the notes when the notes go on the highlighted cyan coloured target exactly then you don't get paid for it and you lose the points you gain on the left side of the red bar, once the bar is full then you get promoted.. But if your synched with the scroller then you get paid for it and the bar fills up.
Or if you want, you can try to get Level 4 at being a Pizza Chef, the mini-game is located at the sea food restaurant.
Now, after you've been promoted to Level 4 on one of the jobs listed above, find and talk with Guiseppi Mezzoalto.
Agree with him to move your stuff in his crate to Imperial Estates, unpack all your stuff - hand the crate back to Guiseppi and now get ready for Level 5, the last level!
============= Level 5 =============
This level is not hard to complete but it takes some time to finish it, luckily you have this guide so you don't need to wait or search for answers!
```````````````````````````````````` Goal 1: A Monumental Accomplishment ````````````````````````````````````
Before you start Goal 1, talk with Det. Dan D.Mann to unlock this mission.
1) Find and talk with Daschell Swank and he will give you the phone number for the sculptor who happens to live in SimCity. The number can be accesible from *only* your home phone under 'services'. 2) Now before we can call and hire the sculptor, if you don't already have a phone in your house - buy one otherwise you won't be able to call him. Also before you can call you need to find and collect 30 cans that are scattered across the streets of SimValley (just press A to pick them up) and please... don't sell them at VirtuChem until this entire mission is complete. After you've collected the 30 cans this sub goal would be complete. 3) For this one you need to be quite popular in SimValley, get a popularity rating of 50 to complete this one, this takes some time but talk to every single person you can see and try to gain relationship levels higher than 50 for all of them. You'll be popular in no time!
4) Now its time to call the sculptor, go to where your home phone is, press A, choose services --> Sculptor. That's it!
Now go and talk to Det. Dan D.Mann.
```````````````````````````` Goal 2: The Looney Lemmings ````````````````````````````
To unlock this mission talk with Duane Doldrem who'll tell you that he's been looking for this 'elite' club for a long time but he can't find it.
Also, this sub mission has its order in reverse, what I mean is that you can't go to the cliffs until you make the lifeguard annoyed and mad like hell. Also, make your popularity up to 60 otherise she'll ignore you. To increase your popularity the easy way, be *BEST* friends with lots of people except Misty Waters, and this means getting a high relationship level 80+.
1) Pester the Lifeguard: Find Misty Waters, check first around near the sand dunes during daytime and also check the sea food restaurant. Once you find her ANNOY her bad, and get the relationship level down to -50. You might have some difficulties here, why? Because once you annoy her down to -18 she stops talking to you, that's why use this method to overcome that: annoy her twice, be nice once, annoy her twice amd so on till it drops to 50.
2) Visit the cliffs. There used to be a gate blocking your path just right of Country Cafe but now its gone, so pass through the area where the gate once was and this sub mission will be satisfied. Although you can't go up the stairs just yet.
Talk with Misty Waters and say 'Hey! I'm an official Looney Lemming now!'. She'll get angry and say to you she doesn't want to talk with you any more.
Finally, now you an pass through the place where the gate once was, climb up the stairs and play the mini-game, Cliff Diver X!
```````````````````````````` Goal 3: Take over the Town! ````````````````````````````
To unlock this mission, find and talk with Nora Zeal-Ott. Apparently she is now the Assistant Treasurer, she will also say that *YOU* could have applied to become a mayor, since the current mayor doesn't do anything and also she tells you that anyone can apply to become the mayor of SimValley at any time of the year. But she says that you can't apply now because O. Phil McClean (the fisherman in the yellow coat) has already applied for the position. We'll see about that!
1) Nora says to you that she can help you become the next mayor of SimValley if you pay her 10,000 simoleans, once you have the money go see Nora and pay her.
TIP: If you want to finish the entire game and not be bothered playing it any further then selling your own personal property that you bought with alot of money can really help raise the 10,000 simoleans! Just do not get rid of the essential items such as the shower, bed, toilet and stove.
TIP 2: Remember the furniture that was available to us in the secret cellar back in Level 4 in the ghost mission? If you haven't got your hands on those yet do so now and sell them, in total they will add over 2000 simoleans to your count to pay off the 10,000 liability.
TIP 3: I recommend that you the jobs Mower Madness, Bait Flinger and Smoothie Slider. I've found these jobs bring you the HIGHEST payouts.
2) Gain a popularity of 60 if you haven't already, for some tips on how to gain the extra popularity, re-read Goal 1 point 3.
3) Now you have to annoy O. Phil McClean (the fisherman in yellow) real bad so he will drop out as a possible canditate for mayor. If he's ignoring you when he's about -20 give him some time and he will talk with you again, then give him round 2. After the relationship level becomes -50, talk with him once more time and he will chicken out of the election to become the next SimValley Mayor.
`````````````````````````````` Goal 4: Mystery of the Cosmos `````````````````````````````` ****************************************************************** IMPORTANT!! SKIP GOAL 1 OF THIS MISSION IF YOU WISH TO PLAY THE GAME FOREVER. ******************************************************************
Talk with Maximilian Moore (the afro dude) to unlock this sub mission.
1) Go to Uncle Hayseed's farm, you'll notice that that the tractor is not blocking the barn anymore, now go inside the door that's just to the right of the parked car. Then you'll notice that the hay stack was kind of like a hologram and it disappears but reveals a hidden trapdoor. Go inside and you'll see a rocket there! Now go towards it, press A on it and choose repair. Now put the rocket in your pocket..that rymes! When you get out of the barn, you'll notice that tractor is again blocking the entrance to the barn which is no calls for concern. 2) Become friends with Daddy Bigbucks. Make the relationship up to level 80. At around auction time you can usually find him at the item shop that's north west of the jail. Then ask him to give you grant money for your science experiment. 3) Earn the logic of level 7. To earn logic read the relative books in the library on the 2nd floor.
Now go and visit Maximilian Moore, he'll thank you and he'll tell you that now you have become part of the VirtuChem Elite club! Now, whenever you visit VirtuChem Labs, you can access the mini-game Petri Dish!
`````````````````````````````` Goal 5: Apprehend the Van Man ``````````````````````````````
To unlock this mission talk with Vera Vex, she'll start complaining that Giuseppi has stolen her guitar.
1) Become friends with Det. Dan D.Mann, make the relationship level up to 60. 2) Purchase the camera at Bric'a'Brac, if it's not there visit the store some other time. 3) Now that you have the camera visit Uncle Hayseed's farm and go inside the house, enjoy the movie scene! After that's over go up to Giuseppi and talk to him. Your character will then take a picture of Giuseppi and at that momment Det. Dan D.Mann will come in and arrest him.
****************************************************** NOTE: It might seem that most of Uncle Hayseed's furniture is gone, but you get them back. Simply exit the house and re-enter it. Voila! Their all back. ******************************************************
Since Giuseppi is now in jail, go find and talk to Vera Vex to let her know that he's in jail now. Also, since you've now finished Goal 5 access to Uncle Hayseed's house is not possible anymore, but you can still access the Mad Mower for the money.
````````````````````` Goal 6: Summer's End `````````````````````
1) For this one you need to make 13 friends. If you've done exactly what I've told you before about talking and making friends with anyone you see in the attempt to increase your popularity, then this sub misison would have been complete. If not, then find the 13 people needed and make your relationship level with them to 50. 2) Now you will need to get a Level 3 promotion for either the Mad Scientist (Petri Dish mini-game) or Cliff Diver X. Personally I think both of them were quite easy.
For the Pertri Dish, make sure you focus on one colour group at a time, like all orange first, then all yellow and finally blue.
The Cliff Diver X was easy too, this was the occupation I completed this sub mission with. Just use the control keys to do some tricks while in mid air, fall down vertically and press the top arrow button just before he hits the floor.
Read the job list for detailed descriptions on how to complete them!
3) For this one you will have to repair the rocket, if you did what I told you to do back in Goal 4 then this one would have already been done. Anyway, to repair the rocket just go towards it, press A while the arrow is over it and choose repair from the list. 4) Last mission! This one requires you to place the rocket that you've found before on the launch pad that is located directly west of the kitchen, past the living room and through the door on the west.
Now talk to Uncle Hayseed.
============== THE FINALE: ============== Uncle Hayseed will actually be inside the Imperial Estate, the moment you come back in the house he's waiting. Here's the entire story script exactly how it happens:
************************************ YOU: Uncle Hayseed, what are you doing away from the farm?
UNCLE: Well, *YOU*, summer's over. Sure went pretty fast, didn't it?
YOU: As fast as the Veloci-Rooster.
UNCLE: And you, on the ballot for Mayor of SimValley! You made me proud, kid.
YOU: Thanks Uncle Hayseed!
UNCLE: And this rocket you restored. You're one of a kind, *YOU*. But it's time for you to leave SimValley.
YOU: But...I don't want to leave! I love it here! It's my home.
UNCLE: No, *YOU*, it's not. Not anymore. It never was...Your mother never told you how I how I found you in that cornfield all those years ago. You repairing this rocket isn't coincidence. It's time for you to really go home, kid.
YOU: But...
UNCLE: If that rocket leaves the ground and you're not with it, you'll regret it. Maybe not today. Maybe not tomorrow, but soon and for the rest of your life. Goodbye, *YOU*. Perhaps I'll see you again someday.
YOU: I understand.
UNCLE: ... ************************************
Then Uncle Hayseed will head outside through the door. You will to, and you will meet all your friends and contacts you've made this summer. And as you head for the rocket, waving goodbye at everyone - you take one last look at Uncle Hayseed and you leave earth...Then the rocket crashes for some reason and you crash back to earth.
The credits now roll...
*** THE END *** ================= Final Thought =================
Does this mean that the character you've played so far is an alien? If you can recall the Superman movies starring Christopher Reeve the stories of the movie and this game are similar in a way. The ending is quite a shock to me as well as a few other people.

04A - FAQ ~ Frequently Asked Questions! The extensive list.
Here I will try to answer to the best I can all questions you may have about the game, please check here and the GameFAQs message boards before emailing me, unless you have a suggestion that contributes to this FAQ
1) Q: How do you lower the maintenence ladders? A: Go to the sewers via the manhole near north of the library, just press A to go down, the button you must push is just a little east from where you are.
2) Q: How do I get the crowbar? A: Visit Uncle Hayseed's farm and talk to him, also after your finish the mission 'Deep Dark Secrets' the crowbar is not required anymore so you can hand it back to Uncle Hayseed.
3) Q: How do I let someone be my roommate? A: Make sure you are at least friends with them, the relationship level must be at least 50, then choose the option in the chat box to let them in. If you kick them out they won't talk to you for a very wrong time, so choose someone you like.
3) Q: Can I have roommates while I am in the barn? A: Yes you can!
4) Q: How many roommates can you have? A: One.
5) Q: I allowed someone to be my roommate but I can't find them! Help! A: At around evening / night time, usually after 5:30 or 6PM they show up. Regardless of what room YOU are in, they are in the same room as well.
6) Q: Can I marry some chick I met and who's living with me? A: Nope, not as far as I know.
7) Q: Can you have kids in the game? NOTE: PLEASE DO NOT EMAIL ME ABOUT THIS ONE A: Make sure your relationship is 100, if your a guy your roommate must be a girl (duh!) and you'll need to purchase a queen size bed fit for two people. I haven't tested this one yet but I heard someone in the board say it's quite possible (the double bed bed is my theory). Once you have a kid, the doctor from the hospital comes to visit or something...Another rumour is that you can have kids IF you play as a girl and have friendship with a guy with relationship level of 100. In short, there is no evidence so far saying that you can't have kids - actually Im starting believe that you can't, but there's no proof of this yet.
8) Q: Where is the game set, what is the storyline and what are you trying to achive? A: The game is set in SimValley, the Storyline is The Sims and your eventual goal in this game is to own the mansion which is on top of the hill. After that...well, you'll find out!
9) Q: How do you beat up the boxer (Mad Willy Hurtzya) ? A: You can't at the start, but once you speak with Daddy Bigbucks on Level 4, he will speak about hosting a SimVally triatholon, that's when you can beat the boxer up. But make sure you body level is on the 5th bar and over otherwise you will get your butt kicked, you gain more body strength by boxing and lifting weights, you can purchase a boxing set and you can lift weights at the gym if you are a member, also you can lift weights while your in jail.
10) Q: How do you get the electric guitar on level 4? A: Talk with your mate Guiseppi Mezzoalto, and he'll hook you up with the 'Offender' Guitar. But you'll still need to buy it at his van, read the answer to question 40 for more info about this.
11) Q: How do you make friends in the game? A: Talk to them, friendship happens at relationship level 50, and relationship heats up at level 80 and above, if they are a girl well you can kiss and hug them. Same if they are male as well.
12) Q: How do you repair electrical items? A: Press A to select the sub menu for the item and choose repair. Sometimes you get electrocuted and you go to hospital so its best to save your game and retry, otherwise if you have plenty of money and a phone in the house, select the phone, choose services and choose repairman.
13) Q: How do you put out fires? A: So you have a fire on your stove eyy?? Press A on the appliance and choose put out fire. Or if you have the money choose services --> fireman on your phone if you have on. Leaving the fire go on for a period of time will disintegrate your appliance so you better act fast.
14) Q: I keep getting into jail, but I don't know why I go to jail? Any advise? A: Check your mailbox to pay your bills. Pay your bills regularly because the bail money you have to pay when you go to jail is much HIGHER than the bills you pay. Also, you don't have to worry about paying bills in your uncles farm. ALso, if you urinated in the gardens or even inside the hospital there is a 50/50 chance you get fined 100 simoleans and go to jail for it so save the game before you burst out. Also, even if you go to jail with a bail fine for example, of 500, you can still get out by paying less that amount.
15) Q: How to get the burglar alarm? A: Check any store that sells items and you can purchase it but you must check every now and then, and YES your house can get items stolen by burglars in this game. If I can remember it correctly I'd say the alarm is 650 simoleans.
16) Q: Where do I get the city blue prints? A: Once your living in the Clocktower, you will see a hiddin door just right of the stairs, press A to open it and you will see the blue prints just below. You must then give the blueprints to Giuseppi.
17) Q: The rise of Club Rubb, where is the owner!? A: He's the afro guy, just talk with Maximillian Moore, you must pay 1000 simoleans to the Det. Dan D. Mann guy.
18) Q: Where do I get the flyers that I have to hand out to people? A: Go to the Knick Knack shop that's east of the pet shop and the Waterfront Villa, they are 2 simoleans for one flyer. You need to purchase 10.
19) Q: Where are the bookworms!? A: In the library, the building is east up the road from the VirtuChem Labs and just west right next to the Country Cafe. Press A to squash them all of them, in the 1st and 2nd floors.
20) Q: Where is Club Rubb!? I can't find it! A: It is just south on the other side of the street of the library and the Country Cafe. It is a square shaped building and the windows have a orange glow to them.
21) Q: Where are the 8 chickens? (Quick Access code: chkqa) A: They are scattered across the town. Here's the location list: 1. One chicken is on the stairs in the barn. 2. Enter the barn, you should hear a chicken noise, see where the car is? To the right side of the car there's a door. Enter it to find a loose chicken. 3. In front of the barn near the bushes on the other side of the road, when you first leave the barn. 4. Head south from where you first leave the farm, then head west to see your 4th chicken. 5. Inside Burning Spoke Biker bar, near where the toilet is. 6. Head west from the Burning Spoke Biker bar down the road, till you get to the carpark, there's a chicken running loose here. 7. From the carpark, head south through the opening in the fence, head a little north past the two trees to find another chicken. 8. Head a little east from the Burning Spoke Biker Bar towards the phone booth, head north a little through this small alleyway and pick up the chicken.
22) Q: Where can I find Giuseppi Mezzoalto? A: In several locations, try the alleyway just right of the Burning Spoke Bar at NIGHT, when he says that he is at the docks check near the docks and in the upper level up the stairs you'll see him there as well with his large van (you can buy items from this van to!). Whenever he says he's at Imperial Estates he means he is located near the mansion that's directly south of the Burning Spoke Biker bar. Call him and he will tell you where he is, you always have better luck finding him at night time -he even tells you so! Don't forget to check the Burning Spoke Biker Bar. Also, it is a good idea to keep a close relationship with this guy because he helps you alot so make sure the relationship level with this guy is always above 90.
23) Q: Im supposed to find person 'xxx' but I can't find him/her, where are they? A: * If its Dusty Hogg check the area near the Burning Spoke Bar and the jail which is just to the west of the pet shop and just north of the sea food restaurant. * If its Giuseppi Mezzoalto read question 21. * If its Uncle Hayseed check the farm. * If its Mad Willy Hurtza (the boxer) check the gym in the boxing ring and the area that's just outside the gym. Also check the sea food restaurant near the docks but he only starts hanging out in the sea food restaurant after you beat him in boxing. * If its Bucki Brock check the Country Cafe, the area around the Burning Spokes Biker Bar and the road between the biker bar and the farm. * If its Misty Waters then check the docks and the sea food restaurant. * If its the fisherman Olde Salty check the docks in the morning and at night check near the open space leading to the gardens that's just left of the VirtuChem Labs. * If its Knicki Knack check the gardens, the area near the pet shop and don't forget to look in the Knick Knack shop. * If its Daschell Swank check around the docks, around the Rubb Club and go up the stairs near the docks and check the area there. If its Claire Cutterball, check the area near the items shop and the Burning Spoke Biker bar and the road in between the Biker bar and the farm. * If its Nora Zeal-Ott check around the Burning Biker Bar and the road thats between the Biker Bar and the farm. * If its Vera Vex the lady rockstar wannabe, check the Burning Spoke Biker Bar and the Rubb Club. * If its Hester Primm then check the road near the Gym, the Library and the small sand dune area which is just south of the sea food restarant. * If its Lottie Cash then check the Burning Spoke Biker Bar and check the road that goes east from the farm area, alot of the time she hangs around here usually around morning. *If its Eddie Renalin then look in the area that's just outside the gym and the area that's around the VirtuChem Labs. This is the same guy you have to pay 200 simoleans to in Level 3 to gain full membership to the gym. *If its Maximillian Moore (the afro guy), then look outside of the gym near the road,try the Rubb Club and from the club head south and then a little east towards the lake, he can be around here too. This guy is the owner of the Rubb club. * If its Mel Odious look around the docks, the library, the sea food restaurant and the beach shores. * If its Vernon Peeve look near the area where the gym and clocktower are, also check the area around the docks and don't forget the Burning Spoke Biker bar. * If its Ephram Earl look in the haunted shack. Use the sewers to get there, he is the ghost. The funny thing is, he also comes to some of the auctions to bid for items. Wierd.
If you still can't find the person, then just go to any phone, choose ring a friend and just select the person from the list. They usually will reply to you and tell you their location. If its Giuseppi Mezzoalto and he doesn't reply wait till its night or early dawn,that's when he comes out from hiding.
NOTE: Check out the 'SimValley City Map' I've written which is in this FAQ for a list of a few item and character locations pinpointed on the map.
24) Q: Where can I get the fishing book and the fishing rod? A: Buy the fishing book at Knick Knacks and get the fishing rod at any goods seller (item shop), then impress the Fisherman (Relationship level 40) and then you can fish whenever you like.
25) Q: Where do I get the promotions for Bait Flinger / Powerlifting? A: Once you gain membership to the gym, head a little north past the miror through the doors, head south to see all the weights and the entrance to powerlifting. To access Bait flinger, read question 23 to gain access to fishing and then head a little east from the sea food restarant, then to access fishing spot #1 head south and to access fishng spot #2 don't head south but instead continue going west and head south when you reach a banner fixtured to the poles towards Olde Salty's fishing boat past the Fish 'n' Chip shop - while your down here you can also grab the '3 eared mouse' which might be a little hard to see at first but is just a little north to where the fishing boat is.
You can check out the map of the city I've typed up, I know its not perfect but it will give you all the general directions you have to go to reach the various locations so you don't get lost or confused in the vast world of SimValley!
26) Q: How do I auction for items in the game and how can I get the best deals? A: You can auction for items at ANY item store between 5-7 PM. To auction for an item you need the item must be listed, then press A to begin auctioning, you can use the up and down arrows to decrease or increase your bid, usually if you have the money you could get items for a cheaper price than they were before the auction so in that case auctioning is good and gives value for money, but sometimes the store owners could get the better end of the deal, what I mean is you could end up paying more than what you could have paid before the auction started - in this case it is better to save the game anytime before 5PM and if this happens just buy your item before auction begins. To get the best deals take this example: I want to buy some item for 1000 simoleans, I have 1050 simoleans. Once auctioning begins one guy increases his bid to 950 simoleans so now he is in the path of getting the item, but if I purposely increase my bid to 955 or even 960 simoleans and then quickly bring it back down to 950 simoleans which equals that of my competitor I would win the item because my LAST bid was higher than 950 and his LAST bid was NOT higher than 960.
But, if I decreased my bid to 940 or even 930 and brought it back up to 950 which equals my bid to that of my competitor I will NOT get the item because my LAST bid was UNDER 950 and his LAST bid was 950 constant. So there you have it, the way to get the best deals whenever you go to auction!
27) Q: Nice strategies for auctioning, any more tips for me? A: Yes. This strategy is called intimidation because you intimidate your opponent so the bidding plays out in favour for you. For example, say Im bidding for an item worth 1000 simoleans and my competitor did the bid for 800 simoleans the highest, I can intimindate him by increasein my bid to 810 and he will try to over-bid me (it seems the AI can't be this smart, but believe me it is!) by going to 820, I will finally increase my bid to 1050 which is higher than the original value price, and he will try to do the same to overbid me, once there are only a few more seconds left over I would just lower my bid to 950 and he will lower his bid to something like 960 because he doesn't want to spend so much money on a single item, now I would quickly bump up my bid to 970 and therefore the time is up, I would when the item at the discount of 30 simoleans. Or I could have just bumped it up to 970 then lowered it back to 950 which equals to that of my opponent and if he doesn't make a move I would get the item at a lovely discount of 50 simoleans.
These auctioning strategies just clicked to me as I was bidding for alot of items, such as my §2000 stove I bidded and got about 2-300 simoleans discount.
28) Q: What does the '§' sign stand for? A: When playing, at the top right hand corner you will see this sign, its like the dollar $ sign but in simolean currency.
29) Q: I moved out of my uncles barn, but now I can't get back in! A: Once you moved it it was expected that you stay out. lol.
30) Q: I've got the crate in my house, I unpacked but its still there! A: Press A on the crate and choose the opion to hand it back to Giuseppi Mezzoalto. CAUTION: If you still had items in the crate, and you gave it back to him. You've lost them for good.
31) Q: Is there any map in the game that I can refer to? A: Yes the game has a map you can refer to, when your in control and you can see your character, press the SELECT button to view options --> then choose show map.
32) Q: Can you run in this game? A: Yes you can, press the B button while walking to run.
33) Q: Can friendship between you and person 'xxx' degrade after some time? A: If you don't keep contact with them, yes, the relationship level will degrade. Just like in real life. So keep contact with them from time to time. Once the relationship level degrades below 50 they are not officialy your friend anymore.
34) Q: How come my character doesn't eat? I choose the stove but it still doesn't work! A: Make sure you have enough money to pay for the food first. At the start of the game, the food's free but after you do Mower Madness and get paid for it you have to work for your food.
35) Q: Help! How come my character doesn't sleep? I direct him to sleep on the bed / sofa but he just nods his head. A: Make sure he isn't hungry, get him some food and then he will go to sleep. Also, don't forgot to go to the toilet, if your character urgently needs to go to the bathroom he won't go to sleep.
36) Q: Im directing my character to the shower but he just nods his head and he doesn't have the shower. What's wrong with him? A: Nothing. There's no room to go into the shower, make sure you have no roommates blocking the path to the shower or even whatever it may be. Wait some time for them to leave and then try again.
37) Q: I've got lots of those paintings with me, how do I get rid of them? A: If those paintings are from 'Lover's Retreat', just hand them in to Daschell Swank. If those paintings are personally made - like from your own painting kit then you can sell them at Bric 'a' Brac.
38) Q: Is it possible to play this game forever? A: If you already did the rocket mission then no - the game will end. However, IF you SKIP Goal 4 of Level 5 (Mystery of the Cosmos) or you NEVER go inside the room which contains the rocket then you can play the game for as long as you wish! You must skip GOING to the room that has the rocket (which is inside Uncle Hayseed's barn), otherwise access to Uncle Hayseed's farm house will not be possible therefore you can't access his furniture; shower etc & talking with him won't be possible either.
39) Q: Is Heidi Shadows a cheat? A: It's NOT a cheat, but it's a thing the developers put in as a secret character who can be very advantageous to you. Read the misc. section for information on how to find her in two different locations!
40) Q: Help, I can't find Giuseppi's van...where is it? A: On the 1st map, it's displayed as a copyright sign (©) just right of the docks. Make sure you go there ONLY at night, his van doesn't park there until then.
Also, if Giuseppi's van is out and you walk near its area, then you'll hear classicial music because its the van's theme song. When required purchase the offender guitar at this place.
TIP: Press SELECT, choose 'Show Map'. If Giuseppi's van is out then you'll see its icon just near Howe's retail.
41) Q: I can't find the ghost's ashes. A: It's displayed on the sewage map as a hash (#) sign, you will then need to go to the ladder labelled L10 to reach the mansion.
42) Q: Does the game use a realtime clock or a predefined programmed clock? A: I don't know why you would want to know this but Im not the developer so I wouldn't have the slightest thought what the answer might be. You can email the developer 'Griptonite Games' if you still want to know.
43) Q: Where's Paradise Island? A: This is a secret level which can be *only* played with if you connect the Gameboy Advance to the GameCube.
44) Q: Where's the ghost? I can't find it. A: Visit the haunted shack at around 11-12pm at night, he'll be inside the shack on first floor. BTW you need a mechanical skill of 3 to open the gate leading to the house.
45) Q: My character keeps passing out, what's wrong with him? A: Follow this checklist to find out what's wrong with him:
Is he too hungry? -> You can end up in hospital if he's too hungry This is the 1st bar. Is he too sleepy? -> Your character will fall asleep on the spot. This is the 3rd bar. Is he too tired from standing? --> Sit on a chair or sofa for awhile. This is the 5th bar.
Make sure that all the above is resolved and you'll find that your character doesn't collapse on the spot anymore!
46) Q: I finished the mission 'Deep Dark Secrets', so do I still neeed the crowbar? If not how do I get rid of it? A: After you finish the mission then the crowbar is not requried anymore, simply return it back to Uncle Hayseed at the farm.
47) Q: How do I beat up the boxer (Mad Willy Hurtzya)? He keeps on knocking me out! A: Follow this checklist:
Is your body level at 6 or above?
Are you doing the correct mission and are you on the correct level? You should be on level 4 & goal 5 which is, Champion of the Simverse.
Are you too tired, sleepy or is your home bar at 100% red? If you are then make sure that these bars are at 100% green.
Are you a member of the gym? --> Pay Eddie Renalin 200 simoleans if you haven't already.
Also if he's still a pain then try running up to him and punching him when he's got his back to you. Press B while walking to run.
48) Q: I picked up the urn and when I go to the haunted shack the ghost is not there! Where is he? A: Read answer for question 43 above!
49) Q: Where is the Veloci Rooster? A: It appears in random places, so make sure your body is on Level 6+ before you try to catch it - your timing is everything because this little bugger runs quite fast. I found him just outside VirtuChem at night.
50) Q: What does game score mean? A: Its how much points you have scored in a game, if you know what the word 'score' means its the same for games aswell.
51) Q: How long did you take to complete the whole game? A: 155 days.
52) Q: How do you find out what day of the week it is? A: 1)Press "Select" and save your game. 2)Press "Select" and choose "Save Game" from the menu (but dont save again). 3)Look at the game file; it states the time and day of the last save. Unfortunately, the day is a number, not a day of the week.
Refer to the Heidi Shadows section of this guide for more info on this.
53) Q: How do I save my game? A: Read the answer to the question above!
54) Q: How do I move furniture? A: 1) Press A on the furniture and put it in your pocket. 2) Goto your inventory, select the furniture by pressing A. 3) Using the control pad move the furniture the way you need to and use the buttons L and R to turn the furniture to the side thats needed. 4) Once the locations been decided, press A to place the item.
If the selection is yellow then the item can be placed in the area. If the selection is red then the item cannot be placed in the area, if this is the case then simply move the furniture to a different place or change the way its facing.
55) Q: How do I enter the cheat codes? A: Refer to the manual of the hardware you use, for the instructions. If you happen to be using an emulator use google.
56) Q: The slip of paper that Heidi Shadow's sells has the word "BUCKET" on it, what is it for? A: Rumours have it around the boards that it could be a secret password for something in a sequel of the game OR my guess is that does it have something to do with Paradise Island?
57) Q: My pet 'xxx' is lost, I can't find it! Where is it? A: Here are a few things you could do: Wait till you move to your new house and it will appear on the front steps. Once you find it award it frequently. Forget about it.
58) Q: My pet keeps on urinating on the floor! How do I make it stop? A: Here are a few things you could try: Just keep on cleaning up the animal's mess. Make it feel noticed frequently. Eg, pet it frequently or play with it. Sell it at the animal shelter to get rid of it, though you will not get paid for the sale.
59) Q: My pet tries to avoid me, what should I do? A: Try these: Make it feel noticed frequently. Eg, pet it frequently or play with it. Get rid of it by selling it and buy a new pet.
60) Q: When I unpack my belongings from the crate when I move into my new house I get a "Sorry! Fire code prohibits any more objects!" message, - what should I do? A: It means that you cannot place any more items on that level, try placing the extra items on another floor. It's maximum 25 items per floor.
61) Q: I didn't repair the rocket while it was in the barn, but when I tried to repair it while it was on the pad there was no option to repair it. What should I do now? A: Nothing much you can do, this is a glitch in the game so now you cannot finish the game. Also there's no point in trying to use the codebreaker codes because they do NOT work on level 5.
62) Q: I heard that there was a way to make 1000's of money REAL fast but it involves Heidi Shadows. Could you explain how it works to me? A: Check out the Heidi Shadows's section of this guide for more information on this trick.
63) Q: I went to jail, but when I came back out I can't find my scooter! Where is it? A: There are two things you can do to retrieve it:
Press SELECT and go to view map. The map will show where your scooter is, then its just a matter of navigating to it. Wait till you move to your next house, then you'll find that your scooter is right in front of your house. Forget about it, use the sewer to travel around because it is alot faster. You can use the sewers map found within this guide to help show you where ALL the ladders lead to in the world of SimValley.
64) Q: I want to write a FAQ on this game, where should I start?
Look at other faq's for ideas. Check out http://faqs.ign.com/ they have a guide on writing faqs. Check out http://www.gamefaqs.com/features/contribute/ they have a guide on writing guides too.
65) Q: Can I use parts of your faq (info, layout) to use on my guide? A: No.
66) Q: Even if I give you credit? (continues from above...) A: No.
67) Q: Im going to modify your faq to put up on my site! (A real email I got) A: Unless you comply with the law to remove copyrighted material which is plagarism you will be reported to your host provider.
68) Q: Hi, am I allow to print your FAQ for myself and use it for later viewing away from the computer? A: Yes, but you must NOT edit, modify, copy parts of the FAQ and/or upload it and claim it is your own work.
69) Q: I did what you told me to do but I still can't get "xxx"/I still can't do "xxx". (NOTE: replace xxx with the object your trying to get or related to a mission your completing.) A: Follow this: Make sure your on the correct level! Make sure you completed all the prerquisites before you can complete the one your trying to do! Talk to the character again (when required for certain missions...) and not just once. Read the FAQ once more to see if you didn't skip important things.
70) Q: My question is not answered in this guide, what should I do now? A: Follow these steps to conjure up a solution to your problem...
STEP 1: Read it again. Its very likely that you didn't look properly. I know because 95% of all emails I recieve are the same questions that are already answered in this guide!! The other 5% btw is suggestions.
STEP 2: If its mission related read the walkthrough properly, if you follow it carefully you'll know what to do so DO NOT email me a dumb question such as 'Who do I give the §1000 to?'.
STEP 3: If its question related read through the FAQ thoroughly this section contains ALL the questions I got asked and on the boards so (example...) do NOT email me a question like 'Where do I get the guitar from?'.
STEP 4: Are you sure you have the latest version of this guide? I recommend that you check gamefaqs.com because that site is ALWAYS guaranteed to have the latest version of this guide.
STEP 5: Use common sense and some patience!! That's how most of us did it.
STEP 6: Look for your question on the game's message boards.
STEP 7: Post your question on the boards if it isn't there. The boards are ALL located on the allowed list of sites for this guide - most notably are the gamefaqs's and IGN's message boards.
Since this is the FINAL release of this FAQ, please do not email me ANY questions or suggestions about the game unless it's a report about a site using this FAQ without my permission (found on the allowed list of sites at the top of this page). I might reply to some emails if I can be bothered - however don't count on it because mostly I probably won't have the time or once again...can't be bothered. Thanks.
If you send me junk email (junk that are like 120-500k or 1mb that take up my inbox space) then I'll have to report it to your email provider or ISP for inappropriate conduct. I have recieved these kinds of email so it's very annoying.

One thing, I know that looking at the maps below may seem awkward and confusing, not all items have been listed but all the ones I've noticed or could fit in are, if you want to find something please refer to the legend (listed below) for a detailed explanation of what the character represents.
No game guide will be complete without maps, and I've done them in good detail too, check out the Legend below for what certain characters mean. I know it ain't perfect, but it will give you the 'general' idea of where everything is.
Since ASCII is not perfect, I will use special characters to represent certain hotspots and locations so everything can be fitted in.
NOTE: Since its not possible to fit the ENTIRE map in under 80 characters per line I made links to the different maps that in whole make up the entire map of SimValley when put together.

SIMVALLEY MEMORIAL PARK... This map shows you how to get past the maze to reach 'Lover's retreat', to paint the so called masterpiece that sells for 5000 simoleans. Search Function Code: svmp
******************************************************** The legend for the memorial park has changed a little:
=== := A horizontal brdge. || := A vertical bridge. (LR) := Lover's Retreat. ********************************************************
____ ____ _________________ / @ \ | | ___ ___ [ \___/ $ \ / |_ / \ / \ [ _ _=== === (P) === | [ ¦4 ____/ \___ | \ /__\_||/_ \___/ ______________ \| \____________ \__ / H\ |- Going down here takes || | @ \ \ \ | you to VirtuChem. | \_ | \ \ ___________|_ | \ | \ \ / / \ | | | @ \_ || ____ / \(LR)\ |____| | @ (M)\___||_/ \/ ||--/ . |_________________/ | | /¦\ ___| | |\ | ¦ NORTH __/ | || | ¦ / ___/ || | | /|__| | / \________/
Once you reach 'Lover's Retreat' which is marked by (LR) press A to start painting, this takes a *really* long time, after your done painting, press A on the portratit once again to frame it and then hand it to Daschell Swank to earn 5000 simoleans, you can make more portraits coming to this exact spot, if your patient enough you'll get about 500-600 simoleans each time you hand them back to him. For some reason these paintings do not sell at Knick Knacks, only personal paintings from your own painting set at home do, you can buy the painting set at any item shop.
SIMVALLEY UNDERGROUND SEWAGE... I'll be glad once I finally get this last map done! Since the underground sewage has connections to the outside world, I've listed in code format where each ladder will take you to whatever place in SimValley.
NOTE: You can only use the sewage system as shortcuts after Giuseppi Mezzoalto opens them up for you at Level 3 in the mission 'Deep Dark Secrets.'
You can start using the underground sewage has a fast way of getting around places, instead of seeing when ladder goes to where you want to go just use this complete map of the SimValley underground sewage and you'll reach the place you need to go in a flash. Also, all items that can be found in the sewage are pinpointed on the map as well!
Legend: ° = 3 eared mouse / Recyclable items / Radioactive rod # = Ghost's Ashes Χ = Teleport
What I meant by teleport is that depending on what 'star sign' your character is entering this teleport will take you to a different room that allows you to get special items. For example, my character is a Scorpio so he can get two recliner sofas to keep for free! You can only access the teleport once per session, so if you missed it just go up any ladder, climb back down and enter it.
The ladder numbers are ordered in the fashion from the bottom most ladder to the top most ladder, going right to left.
================================================== Ladder Number & the location the ladder leads to ================================================== Ladder number ::: Location it leads to L1 | Just north of the beach shore. L2 | To the right of the Pet Shop and west of the Knick Knack shop. L3 | Just north of the jail, and a little east from Howe's Retail. L4 | Right in front of Country Cafe and the Rubb Club. L5 | Just to the left of the hospital. L6 | 2nd floor, go east to meet Giuseppi Mezzoalto's Item Shop Van. L7 | 2nd floor, just go down the stairs to enter the docks. L8 | In the gardens, just south of the pavilion. L9 | Just south of the mansion, the place that you'll own on day. L10 | East of the farm, at the corner of the bend to the gym. L11 | Right next to a graveyard, near the haunted house. L12 | Just outside Uncle Hayseed's farm. L13 | Outside item shop in parking lot near Biker Bar.

Finally! Finished, I can take a break now...
While the map is obviously not to scale, its general alignment of all the walls and the locations of the different objects found within it and the layout is perfectly correct.
