Chapter 4 | Scenario 1 Sims Life Stories Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
I would recommend getting up earlier than usual (at about 0500 hours). This will allow you to take care of the needs bars (#1). It's very important that all of them are in the green status. The most important bars are: Bladder, Hygiene, Hunger and Comfort. You should also continue working on your painting, even if you had managed to advance to the new level. It's very important that you go to work. If you had managed to satisfy all needs, you should be promoted to a Coordinator (#2). Just as before, take a closer look at the updated work schedule. You will receive a salary and a large bonus. Also, keep working on your creativity.
You will have to improve your creativity skill. You could keep painting the picture, however I would recommend buying something new. You probably won't be able to afford a piano. Instead, buy an electric guitar (#1). Remember that you won't have to do this, however using a guitar will also improve other needs bars. Start off by moving towards a bookcase. You will have to learn cooking (#2). Ignore other needs for the time being, mostly because they aren't that important.
Goal: Improve cooking skill (+1000 Aspiration)
You should receive a call very soon. Use your cell phone or one of the stationery units. You will have to click on your main character (#1). It'll be Dylan - ex-boyfriend of Riley. He will be invited to dinner. Before this happens, you will have to improve your cooking skill. As a result, continue reading a book (#2). You will have to advance to the next level before 1800 hours. Otherwise you wouldn't be able to proceed with the dinner. Sadly, this would only delay the dinner for 24 hours, so don't worry if you won't make it in time. Nevertheless, I wouldn't recommend leaving other stuff until you've accomplished your goal.
Now you should have some time for yourself. I would recommend that you spend it wisely. You won't have to prepare a dinner just yet. Instead, focus your attention on the needs bars (#1). You could also play on your guitar (#2). The objective will be to improve creativity skill. You probably won't be able to advance before the meeting, however you won't have to worry about that.
Dylan should arrive at the mansion at about 2015 hours (#1). If you proceeded according to the plan, you should have at least two hours of free time. You will have to greet Dylan (#2) before moving on. It's very simple. You will have to click on him and choose a correct action from the menu.
Goal: Give Dylan a romantic kiss (+500 Aspiration)
This is going to be very simple. You will have to click on Dylan once again. Head on to the Kiss section. After that, choose Romantic (#1). Once this is done, you may proceed with the conversation or head back to the house. If you decide to choose the second approach, head on to the kitchen (#2), because that's where you'll need to be right now.
Goal: Serve dinner (+500 Aspiration)
The main objective here will be to serve a dinner for Riley and Dylan. Go ahead and choose one of the available meals. It doesn't really mater which one it is. Once the meal is ready, head on to the kitchen table (#1). Click on the unused plates and choose Call to Meal, Guests (#2). If you've done everything correctly, Dylan should join you. Riley and Dylan will be talking. Don't interrupt them. You mustn't forget about the possibility of cleaning the dishes, especially since the next objective shouldn't appear right away.
Goal: Leap into Dylan's arms (+1000 Aspiration)
This is also a very simple objective. Start off by making sure that Dylan has finished with his meal. He should be standing nearby (#1) or performing some other activity. Click on him. Head on to the Hug section. Choose the Leap into arms (#2) option. Wait for the result. This is the end of this mission objective. I would recommend saying goodbye to Dylan, especially if the dinner took more of your precious time.
You should receive a present from Dylan (#1). It's going to be a small mirror. This object will help you to improve your charisma. I would recommend putting in the master bedroom, near your bed. You should spend some time on improving your skills, however I'd strongly recommend going to bed right after midnight. Make sure that you have scored a creativity point. You will also have an opportunity to read a summary of the fourth chapter (#2).
