The Sims (console)/Hot to Trot

In this house, you are living with one of Mimi/Dudley's friends. The specific challenges/benefits of this house depend on which character you move in with, but so far, I have only attempted this level with Zara, who is difficult because her social meter depletes very fast.

Goals
1. Get promoted to career level six. Again, your specific job will dictate what's necessary for a promotion, but be sure to keep in contact with all of your family friends by phone so that you don't lose them.

2. Get promoted to career level seven. Same idea as above

3. Throw a raging party. For some reason, this step is harder in this house. I haven't figured out how to do it yet.

4. Upgrade your abode. Same idea as all of the previous levels.

5. Try and "score" with a party guest. This is similar to the roommate goal in Party Animals. You must complete all of the other goals before this one and you need to be at least close enough that you consider them a family friend. Generally, though, it won't work unless your relationship meter with them is above a 90. It helps to flirt with them beforehand so that you have a better shot at it.

Other things about this house

 * More likely than not, your roommate will be unemployed. You should try to get them a job to bring in extra money for upgrading the house.


 * You can build your relationship with the person with whom you want to "score" by inviting them over by themself a few times. This makes it easier to talk to them since it's not a party environment.


 * I completed this walkthrough using the GameCube version. It might be different from the version for other consoles.

Specific challenges
Zara:
 * Outgoing personality: her social meter depletes quickly and it's hard to keep her socially satisfied and still do all of the things your Sim needs to do in order to get promoted/fulfill their own needs.
