sleeve though. A contact has offered him/her some office space that might work

the canary, and when s/he goes to check on it in the trunk, discovers it lying

out with 20K in hard currency. Thinking that the cops might be on to them, and

commercial airliners, no buzzing private control towers, no launching laser
guided missiles into peaceful civilian protests--____ and his/her fellow Flight
Officers decide to make a little fun for themselves. They hop in a couple of
fighter jets and head out to international waters, where the rules get a bit
more "fuzzy" when it comes to 'who blew up who first with a heat-seeking
computer aided anti-aircraft missile.' Within minutes, ____ spots a pair of
bogeys who are clearly far from home, maybe even as far as RedCity--but
wherever they're from, things are about to get a whole lot more interesting.

Military (Recruit)
------------------
The sun has been relentless, and earlier in the day ____'s drill sergeant
forced the squad to run ten miles in the sweltering heat without any laces in
their standard issue swamp boots, because one of the recruits had been unable
to do up his laces in the amount of time mandated by the field manual. Now
____ has been asked to choose the proper method of discipline for a recruit

days and most of them still can't lace up their boots. Half of them still
complain about having to iron their pants, and at least a third of them still
seem to be thinking for themselves. ____'s tried to teach them all the
cadences s/he learned while s/he was a recruit. S/He's tried putting them on
ration restrictions and kitchen duty, but the regular ways just don't seem to
be working, so it's take for phase 2. ____ can either force the recruits to
march in their underwear, or take away their rifles and make them carry
baguettes instead.

The movie theater down the street just let out and ____'s restaurant is PACKED.
(One might think they'd be full after those absurdly sized movie drinks, but no
such luck.) S/He's barking orders left and right when suddenly the unthinkable
happens: the Uberburger 3000 breaks down in an entirely ungraceful puff of
smoke. Now the restaurant smells like charcoal and there isn't a burger in
sight. Should s/he try to keep going without the Uberburger, or take the repair
into his/her own hands?

Culinary (Prep Cook)
--------------------
A local society dame has contracted with ____'s restaurant to cater her
daughter's wedding to a local wealthy businessman. This overly extravagant
affair promptly causes headaches for the entire staff: the demands range from
the silly (500 miniature swans made entirely of coconut paste) to the
impossible ("Can you get powder blue lettuce greens for the salads?"). The
souse chef is so busy taking care of the demands that he leaves the decision
about the soup ("surprise us!") entirely up to _____. Should s/he make Italian
wedding soup or the less traditional Louisiana Gumbo?

-In Home Jobs-
Painter
Being creative allows you to pain a picture on a easel. This is a good way to
make some money and fast. In order to paint, you need to buy an easel. Once you
have it bought, send a sim over to it and click on it to paint. It helps if
your sim is in a good mood. As your sim becomes better, you'll have the choice
to paint still life or another sim. After a few ours of painting, it should be
complete. Now you can click on it to sell it or go into buy mode and place it
on a well. Also, the higher the creativity, the more money a sim will make. Be
warned, all stats will drop at a normal rate expect fun when painting.
-==-
Novelist
Being a Novelist can take time in order to make some cash. You'll need a lot
of creativity in order to make a great novel. A novel will be complete in about
3 Sim days. To do so, you sit the sim at the computer and choose to write a
novel. The more creativity, the better chance the novel will sell well. Make
sure the sim is in a good mood each time you write the novel. Once it is done,
you'll have a message saying you finished it. A phone call should be on its
way after it so be ready for it. You will earn money if the book sells well.
6) Miscellaneous
[FAQS]
Here are some of the commonly asked questions that I have seen. These come from
looking on the message boards as well as reading various forums.
1. Can my computer handle the sims?
A1 - If your system meets the requirements, then yes it will run the game.
2. Where can I find Mods for my sims?
A2 - You can search google for Sims2 Mods or search for forums that have them.
3. Why can't I build anything or even buy something?
A3. You either need to get rid of your no-cd crack or you need to go buy the
game.
4. How do I get twins? Is there a special diet or something?
A4. There is no special diet. You either keep trying normally or down load
a mod to better increase your chances of having them.
5. How do I make my sims go to school or work?
A5. Usually, sims are smart enough to do this by themselves. In they don't,
just click on the bus or car and choose go to school/work.
6. Do I need the Sims 1 in order to play the Sims 2?
A6. Nope. All you need is the Sims 2 and the system requirements.
7. How do I remove the censor patch over my sims?
A7. Look in the cheat codes section for the censorgrid cheat.

A8. So far, there is only University. No, this guide doesn't cover it.
9. My baby won't grow up! What do I do?
A9. Try buying a birthday cake and have someone bring the baby to it. That
should allow the baby to grow up.
10. Can I import my cities from SimCity 4?

to import your city or make a new one.
11. Can I add my own music to the sims?
A11. Yes. You place it in
C:Documents and SettingsUserNameMy DocumentsThe Sims 2Music
-Custom Content-
Adding it to your game:
When you download custom content (like clothes or skins), you'll need to place
them in the download folder before they will show up in either BodyShop or in
Game. The downloads folder is usually located here:
C:Documents and SettingsUserNameMy DocumentsThe Sims 2Downloads
Once in there, it will show up in bodyshop and in the game. You can then create
new sims with the custom content or just change clothes for your sim in game
if needed.
Making your own Custom Content:
To make your own, you'll need a graphics program like Paint Shop Pro or
Photoshop. When you have one of those, open bodyshop and export the item you
want to make (like clothing, skins). Now, open the files up in your graphics
program. From there, you can add textures, change colors or add whatever you
want to the content. Once you saved it, export it back in with bodyshop. It'll
now be in your game for you to use as well as in bodyshop.
