Walkthrough
To actually start the game you will need to Create-A-Sim from the main menu.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Service Station
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You start out driving your beater car on a dusty road across the desert and it
breaks down because your Sim is too busy looking at the glowing green diamond
overhead. Once you get past the cinematic your shown the controls screen for a
brief moment. As you close that window your instantly immersed into the game
and start out in the mechanics garage. Go over and talk to Oscar Del Fuego
(the mechanic so-to-speak) and browse through your talk options. You'll ask
him how much money it'll take to fix the car but he'll say it's more about the
respect. He complains that your talking to him like a everyday ordinary
mechanic and blather on with artistic misconceptions about the Mona Lisa and
Michelangelo. He doesn't really want payment he complains, he wants to be
treated like a human being and asks that you chat with him.
After your done chatting with him(pending you suceed in doing so) you guys
shake hands and he asks if that chatting wasn't so bad. He then claims he is
going to give you a discount for being friends now. You can either take
advantage of his offer or actually be a friend and do the whole 'you shouldn't
have!' thing. Either way your out 500 simoleons. He'll tell you to head to the
Curio Shoppe to hang out for awhile while he fixes your car and since your
stuck in the desert you don't have a choice. He'll also tell you to see Mambo
Loa the lady who mans the cash register while your at it. Finally he
introduces you to the goal list via select button. Nice guy that Oscar now
exit the building.
When you leave the garage go around the left and there should be three cars.
Go behind the garage and pick up the blue glowing object hidden behind the
tires. This is a secret which can be later used to obtain some cash. Also, go
to the furthest red car parked right by a cactus. Search right by the cactus
and there should be another secret. When your done go into the building with
the red 50's double doors.
Wow it looks like a 7-11 in here does it not? You should see two people in
here a Bella Goth in a red dress and Mambo Loa behind the cash register. First
head into the bathroom and pick up the secret right across from the sink. Then
go talk to Mambo Loa, there she will give you here special personality test.
Basically it's a giant thing telling you what your aspirations and fears will
be. You can let here choose or you can skip ahead and choose them yourself.
When you're done she'll tell you about your wants but first pick up the secret
to the right of Mambo Loa behind the cash register then go fulfill one of your
wants. Take this time to fill your sanity meter to platinum while your at it
also and return to Mambo Loa. She'll then persist to talk to you about sanity
and secrets. Then Mambo will force you to pry a secret out of by chatting with
her Bella and return to Mamboa. She'll tell you all about that jazz of secrets
and that she buys secrets(Right now, do not sell any secrets to her, your
wallet will thank you later) and get onto another subject; Love. She'll tell
you to either flirt with Bella or the cop outside, Deputy Duncan. The choices
are oh so heavily weighed are they not? When you're done flirting once again
return to Mambo and she'll basically force you to buy something. That dirty
sunnuva- Got off track. Go around the counter and buy something that won't
spend all of your assets, like a ice cream and then talk to Mambo again.
She'll begin to explain one of the most basic of things to you; Eating. Open
up to your inventory menu and eat whatever you bought. Finally go back to
Mambo one last time and she will tell you she has nothing else for you to do
and to go check on your car. Leave the Curio Shoppe and head outside.
Go around the left and behind the shop. Building's gone? Good, your on with
the story then and a cell phone will be left infront of the ruins of the
garage. Go pick it up and you will be forced to talk to Doctor Dominic Newlow.
Somehow he knows that your car and the building have been misplaced somewhere
and he left his cell phone right where your standing yesterday. Moving onto
his point, he needs a new assistant and wants you to do the job but you need
a ride and place to stay. Go back inside the Curio Shoppe again.
Go talk to Bella, not chat. She'll tell you she needs to leave town because
something horrible has happened to her. Ask her if you could have a place to
stay and she'll actually wants to sell you her MANSION. You'll ask her how
much she is asking for the place and you'll get a outrageous offer of 900,000
simoleons. Thats not gonna work. Bella will tell you she will take whatever is
currently in your wallet. She takes all your money but cannot give you a ride
out of the Service Station. Then out of no where she tells you she is never
going back to that mansion. Something's obviously wrong with it. Then she'll
tell you she even sold you a maid with the mansion. Sweetness. Anyways, once
your done having your conversation with her go over to Mambo Loa and sell her
all of your secrets. Right there, right now. Get yourself some pocket scratch.
Once your done, go outside again.
Look to your right and you'll see Deputy Duncan and his car, but first go
behind his car and look at the bushes. They're sparkling. Go get the secret
hidden there and talk to Duncan. You can get in his face(I did) or you can
tell him your just killing sometime. Ask him if you could also get a ride into
town while your at it. He'll tell you he's out of donuts, how.. Non-chilant.
He'll ask that you go and smack Mambo Loa around because she is hoarding
donuts from Duncan. Run back into the Curio Shoppe.. Again..
Go back around the counter and talk to Mambo again, except this time do a
Social Game and intimidate her. Try to suceed though, because if you fail at
intimidations you lose a bit of sanity. You'll find out she hides her donuts
in the trash can in the bathroom. Nice. Go into the bathroom and start
salvaging through the trash bin. You'll lose a part of your lunch most likely
by doing this, but it has to be done. Once you have your dumpster-donuts, go
back outside and hand them over to Duncan by asking him for a ride into town
again.. He's not too smart about food though. He'll ask you if you got a place
to stay. Luckily you got your place cheap from Bella. He'll tell you whenever
your ready, get in the car. Que the music, NEXT PART!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Paradise Place
Here you are at your new neighborhood. Your now the owner of the Espirtu
Estate, the place where Duncan parked his car infront of. Your character
comments on how rich Bella must have been and Duncan comments that she took
all your money and gives 800$ to you. Nice. Where Duncan gets it, we don't
wanna know. Anyways Duncan tells you that you should meet your new neighbors:
The Rossum's, the Dente's, the Beaker's, and finally Dr. Newlow. When your
done talking to Duncan, run up into your house.
As you enter your house, you are greeted by your new maid, Emily Emory. She
kind of.. Screams at you. You tell her you are the new owner of the estate and
she makes a back-handed comment on how something is wrong with the place. She
says it'd be easy to show you the problem, rather then tell you. Walk inside
your home and head to the room on the right. OMFGZ GHOST! Run to the right
quickly and guess what? OMFGZ GHOST. Most likely they will scare the
metaphorical crap out of your Sim. Run back and talk to Emily. Obviously your
Sims tells her about the hauntings. She's not surprised and attempts to get
you to stay in the house proclaiming that there are only three ghosts and
they're nice. Obviously you cannot see the third ghost, thats a later secret.
She'll tell you that the ghosts are just lonely and cannot move on until their
unfinished buisness is done. She'll proceed to tell you about Dennis the Ghost
who lies in your music room. She'll tell you about his mysteriously awkward
death with the pool and the ladder and that Dennis never got a proper burial.
Then your slapped with a new mission, get the ghosts out of your house.
Preferably Dennis at the moment. (If you want to figure out where the third
ghost is, chat with Emily enough and she will tell you.)
Go outside your front door and go on the rightside around your fountain. Ping.
Secret. Once you're outside make a left around your bushes and stop. Then make
another left and you should see a secret hidden behind a tree. Then turn
around and cut through the graveyard. You should be able to see another secret
far away in the open. Turn around once more and run to Deputy Duncan's car
placed right outside your door and turn left. You should see a house with part
of the wall glowing purple. Run to the glowing while going around the bush and
you should find ANOTHER secret.
Alright your done collecting secrets for now, go talk to Deputy Duncan. He'll
explain he is having trouble and wants you to help. He will explain how the
garbage man went missing and that he believes the Beaker family has something
to do with it. Then you'll change subjects onto the graveyard problems and in
the process you should earn a secret. Anyways Duncan will tell you how the
dead are getting up out of their graves and if you want to earn a bit of
pocket scratch you should try to put them back in each night.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Beakers
Alright, to move the plot along go to the house that has a awkward red glow.
This is your neighbors the Beakers. They basically hate you. Once you enter
the house a message will pop up saying these are the people who kidnaped the
garbage man. First go into the far back right room and research your logic up
to level two with the bookcase. When your done, attempt to hack that keypad
outside of the library next to the kitchen. Either Loki or Circe will come up
and verbally smack you for touching it. Once your done, go and talk to the
other housemate who did not stop you from using the keypad. Either way- Circe
will tell you she thinks Loki is keeping things from her like patents which
could cost alot of money and Loki thinks that Circe is having some marriage
problems. Lets start off with Circe's problems. Head off into their bedroom.
Right by their dresser is a secret, pick it up. Now wait in this room for a
minute and Loki should come around poking his nose in his dresser all sneakly-
like which is creepy. Obviously somethings in that dresser, examine it. BAM-
Patent city, take them to Circe quickly. And prepare to feel used- Circe had
no intention of leaving whatsoever, just to make you go on a random goose hunt
but she'll attempt to pay you off. Accept it or leave it either way, move on
to pay her back. Intimidate her, because she has it coming. No seriously, do
it. She'll spill her guts and admit to having an affair. Go back and talk to
Loki about it. Loki and Circe will from there on end proceed to be unavalible
to stop you from hacking the keypad now. Go and rescue that garbage man but
get the secret in his captivity room while your at it.
-Take a little time for yourself to earn some money, work on your skills, buy
some perks, or raise your sanity at this point.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Dentes
By now you've probably gone to Espirtu Estates to rest up a bit, I don't blame
you. I did. Were going to now start with the Dentes, whose house is directly
left of Espirtu Estate and is glowing blue; go inside and talk to Hazel Dente.
She'll explain that she needs some help doing some tasks around the house and
to talk to her fiance, Roland, about the jobs. First go into her backyard
though and take a direct right. Once you reach the fence take another direct
right and you should find a secret. Now go talk to Roland and you two will
chat about how Roland and Hazel met and that they need some help preparing for
their wedding. Tell Roland that Hazle had some work for you and he'll give you
three jobs:
-Plant the garden with garlic seeds
-Scrub the bathroom
-And make hotdogs
Let's start with scrubbing the bathroom since that should be relativly easy.
Go to their bathroom and scrub everything down. As you clean the sink though
you'll find a ring lodged in Hazel's drain. Riiight, clean everything else and
pick up the secret by the bathtub. Report back to Roland.
Now lets begin the hot dog preperations. If you haven't already, go and pick
up some cooking skills by watching the Yummy Channel on the telly for awhile
so you can pick up a uncooked hotdog from a fridge. What's this? Inside
Hazel's fridge is a note to the police. Creeeepy.. Go cook that hotdog and
report back to Roland once more.
Now onto the finale, run to the Service Station and go buy some garlic seeds
and a road map(for the future) from the register. Now rush back to the Dentes
and head to their backyard. First go behind their pool and examine the object
that looks like a propane tank connected to a box. This actually happen's to
be Dennis the Ghost's remains..! First go to the far left plot in the garden
which is to the direct right of the back yard entrance and plant the garlic
seeds. Gasp, you find a pacemaker in the plot? That's just nasty.. Again go
back to the plot where you planted your seeds and bury the remains of Dennis.
He shall bother your music room no more. Report back to Roland once more then
talk to Hazel to tell her about the things you found while working in her
house. She'll explain that all of these things were accidents but it clearly
looks like foul play and accuse her of it. Hazel will tell you she isn't
telling you anymore and the only way you'll get anything more is to intimidate
her. Get to it. Once you suceed in intimidating her (pending you do suceed)
she'll explain how she 'blacks out' sometimes and how she found all of her
husbands dead. You'll point out how Roland needs to know but Hazel doesn't
want him too because then he might leave her. You'll have to tell him
yourself, so go do it. As a reward, Hazel will teach you howto garden which is
really a sub-par reward.
-Return back to your home and Emily will annouce that Dennis is no more and
you have a whole room to yourself but now you have to take care of the ghost
in your Main Bedroom. She'll explain that the ghost is so depressed. Emily
will explain that he had a girlfriend and how he was a test subject for Loki
Beaker's nervous system project and how it fried him one day. She'll also
explain the he had a little charm that his girlfriend Annie who is a waitress
at the Nightowl bar in Deadtree and that you need to dig it up to give to her.
Take time to decompress and up your skills(specifically mechanical up to four).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Doctor Newlow
As you leave Espirtu Estates, Doctor Newlow's home is direct right to yours
and also the one that glows purple. Go inside his house and you should find
him in his study; speak with him. Tell him your ready to work for him to get
some pocket scratch. The job is pretty basic too, sell secrets. Give him five
and he will give you a bonus. After all the secrets I have pointed out, you
should be able to make five. Sell him all of your secrets and talk to him
about the bonus. And he pulls out.. A GAT! RUN!- I mean, ahem.. He
disappeared. How strange.. And so is that bookcase next to the window. Examine
it. That bookcase seems to be a trick door! Attempt to open it and you'll be
greeted by none other than the antagonist Doctor Dominion. There's nothing
else to do but obey but pick up the secret behind his desk and the one stashed
away by his piano on your way out.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Rossums
As you leave Doctor Dominion's home, take a direct right and you'll be at the
home of the Rossums. It glows orange just to fill your head with a direction.
Enter the house and speak with Issac. He will explain how he is just leaving
and that his wife, Roberta, needs a friend. Do it out of the goodness of your
heart because this is a relativly easy task. Go and chat with Roberta then
talk to her. She'll freak out robo-style. Roberta will explain how she is a
robot and programed to do everything Issac tells him but she doesn't want to
do that. Going on she also tells how Doctor Newlow(Dominion) had a program
called liberator.exe to help her become normal. You'll have to hack it off his
private computer. Go back to Doctor Newlow's home, hack the computer in his
secret room, and return to Roberta. She'll ask for a simolian, give it to her
because your nice. Yay, Roberta is now free from the clutches of being a
robot. Go into the invention room now and look in the closet, you should find
a secret. Issac is home now so go talk to him and he'll explain some long-
winded thing about real-intelligence and your phone will begin to ring. Anwser
it and you'll be a slave to the green crystal again. Your now to go into the
invention room again and use the green machine to make a cow. Once your done
take it and pull the rod that is sticking out of the generator-esqe thing to
the right of the cow-maker-thingy. Now goto Roberta and give her the items and
you will be called one more time by Doctor Dominion to remind you the sentence
order newsreader, waiter, trousers. Talk to Roberta once more and say the
sentence about milk. Roberta will inevitably freak out again robo-style and
leave the home. Talk to Issac and you'll explain that you were under control
by Doctor Dominion and he has ROberta now. Issac wants you to goto Deadtree to
find Roberta or what's left of her. Your basically 1/4th the way complete now.
Huzzah.
