Levels[]
- Level 1, The Accident
- §335
- Ross
- Ross is handsome, sporty, but--since his accident--not so bright. Amnesia has made the simplest tasks a chore. Help him remember how to cook, clean, bathe by directing him toward the objects that will satisfy each of his needs. Once you get all his motives into the green, he'll be well on his way to a productive life.
- Level 2, Girls Just Wanna Have Fun
- §265
- Mercedes, Samantha
- Samantha and Mercedes have little to do and a dwindling household account. Mercedes is waiting for inheritance, but until it comes (it won't be soon), her earning potential is nil.
- Samantha is an artist and has just found a gallery that will carry her paintings. She's only productive when her mood is good. Keep her happy and productive and you'll make enough money to score a new toy. Something electronic like a stereo or TV ought to do the trick.
- Level 3, The Kiss
- §105,661
- Mercedes, Sam, Ross
- Ross has had a dramatic recovery and is getting around by herself quite well now. As if that wasn't enough, he just secured a spot in a house with two women.
- Samantha is calm, quiet and focused on her thriving artistic career. She's cool and shares a lot of interests with Ross but may be slightly standoffish. Mercedes is hot but somewhat ditzy. Help him choose whom to pursue. When you get a kiss you'll know he's on his way to some fine lovin'.
- Level 4, The Money Pit
- §50,848
- Mercedes, Sam, Ross
- Okay, architect. Three rich kids just showed up with a good chunk of cash and an empty lot for a dream house. You have total creative freedom. So go wild. Make a terraced mansion on a hilly lot. Try a humble hovel on a woodsy lot. Build the worst house imaginable and watch them go slowly nuts.
- While you're at it, try planning for maximum efficiency. You know you can't resist picking the quickest courses in traffic... now take it to the next level of anal.
- You will need to use architecture mode to build the house (the saw and hammer icon below the chair). Remember to save enough money for furnishings.
