Sims 2 jobs levels

Just walk slowly, wait for that rod to wiggle, and then start digging. You might want to consult a city map, though, just to make sure what you're chasing isn't a sewer main. Some cases defy all cracking, and that's when the cops come running to you for help. Close your eyes and reach out with your senses, and what is cloudy will become clear. You have always known that unseen beings from distant stars watch us with strange eyes that hold an unknown purpose.

And now you get to turn that suspicion into some cold, hard cash! Just be warned, those who are pursued may suddenly become the pursuer. Even today, dark forces from below reach out to take hold of unwitting Sims. That's where you come in, using your power over the spirit world to drive those unclean interlopers from the souls of those unfortunates who depend on you.

Your legendary powers are now known far and wide, from this world to the next, and Sims from 'round the globe flock to hear your wisdom and live by your word.

Nothing builds confidence like being told your butt is good enough to stand in for a major star's during those tiring shower shots. Keep building those skills, and someday you might get your face on the screen instead.

Your hard work has paid off, and now they're actually letting you say a few lines. Just remember: don't look at the camera, don't wave to your Mom, and keep the spinach out of your front teeth. Hawking dish soap, cell phones and fast food might not be Hamlet, but it sure is starting to bring home the bacon.

Best of all, your face is starting to become familiar to a wide audience. Try if you can, though, to pick the right products to represent: no one wants to be remembered as the Toilet Paper Guy. Finally, a chance to play a real character. Except that your character isn't real, and your audience is more likely to be lying on the living room carpet than sitting in the plush seats. No matter how stupid you're being paid to sound, at least you're saving a fortune on wardrobe!

You're finally starting to break into the big time, and your name now appears somewhere at the beginning of the picture instead of at the end near "Animal Wrangler" and "Key Grip".

You're making three films a year, you're deluged with scripts and you just got voted "Sexiest Man Alive" by three different tabloids. Try to keep your eye on your job amidst all this acclaim, since one bad picture is all it takes to bump you onto late night infomercials. Now you've got your chance behind the camera, and it's all in your hands. Try to keep in mind what it was like when you were in front of that camera as you coax the best out of your actors, and try not to think about how many millions you'll cost your bosses if you screw it up.

No pressure. There's not a Sim in the world who's ever been to a movie or watched a TV that doesn't know who you are.

Green indicates that your Sim is full. Either sleep on a bed or for quick naps, buy a couch and select power nap! Poor thing! Toilets and the kitchen constantly gets dirty. Clean the toilet bowls, bathtubs, any puddles of water and clear all used plates or they will give out a repulsive smell marked by some green odour.

Also take out the trash once the wastebasket is full. If you are too lazy, call the maid. Instead of completing goals in the other games, you will be needed to fulfil your Sims' aspirations. Aspirations are basically the hopes and wishes of the Sims. Different Sims will have different aspirations depending on what aspiration you select when creating your Sim. Aspirations will or may change on a daily basis when you Sim wakes up from sleep or a nap.

The most important aspiration to fulfil is the gold aspiration. It will lead you further into the game and unlock new locations. The most important aspirations are the gold ones. Once you have a cumulative aspiration points of 27, points, you don't exactly have to bother about the others because once you have 27, points, you will have unlocked all the 50 items.

All other aspirations are optional! Besides aspirations, your Sim also has fears. Be sure to avoid fears. To know what are the aspirations and fear: Press the right button. You will see a scale. Press on square button and the details will be shown. The more aspirations you fulfil, the higher the scale will be. Initially it will be in green but if most aspirations are fulfilled it will turn silver and gold. However, if you have fulfilled more fears than aspirations, the scale will turn red.

The newspaper will only display 3 job selections while the computer can display about 5 job selections.

In order to socialise, simply select the Sim you wish to interact with and pick a social move. You can also get married, cuddle in bed and woo hoo! You need 40 relationship points to be friends. The colour of the background can be a good indicator.

If it is red that means they are in love. Tip: The fastest way to be friends. For a start use the talk option repeatedly until about 10 relationship points. Then start using other socials like, tell a joke, compliment, impress, sock pupptets I realise most female Sims like this but not all male Sims like this esp Noel and Torin. If you have high creative skill about 6 and above use draw potrait.

It will give you much added relationship points. Once you have reached 40 points, use tickle but be warned some don't like this like Jonas, use charm or hit on. Or you may want to select back crack, tell tale or confide. I have problems confiding to Jonas as he would announce to everyone what I just told him!

Good Luck Be sure to maintain your relationship with them by either calling them, invite them over to hang out with them or even chat on the computer. By throwing a party is a sure way to get many Sims over. Relationship points will decrease as time passes by. So maintain your friendship! These Sims are those you can control.
