Chapter 5 | Scenario 1 Sims Life Stories Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
I guess I don't have to remind you about the importance of taking care of your main character. You should get up at about 0500 hours, so you'll have plenty of time to regenerate all needs bars. Sadly, you won't be able to do anything else at the moment.
Once you've returned from work, you should start playing on your guitar. You can also try doing similar things. The objective here will be to acquire at least one new skill. You should also consider using a coffee machine (#1). This will allow you to regenerate a small part of the energy bar. Sooner or later, you should receive a call. Click on your main character and choose Answer (#2). It's very important that you do this, because this will allow you to proceed with the first mission objective.
Goal: Call a cab and go to Old Grove Park (+250 Aspiration)
It turns out that Mickey's calling you. He will invite Riley to a date in the nearby park. I'm sure that you're going to be confused a little, so I'll explain what exactly has to be done here. You won't have to choose a Transportation option. Instead, Call Taxi. Exit the house and wait for the cab to arrive. You won't have to invite Mickey, because he'll be waiting for you at the park. You will have to choose this community lot from the list (Old Grove Park; #2).
You will have to enter the cab. Wait for the vehicle to reach its new destination (#1). Riley will get out of the car. She will also notice that Mickey hasn't arrived yet. As a result, she will decide to order a coffee (#2). You can cancel this action if you want to, because it won't be connected to any goal. Remember that you won't have to be in a lot of hurry here, so take your time and explore the surroundings.
Ashley should appear on the map. She will automatically talk to our main character (#1). It turns out that she knows Dylan from work. You won't have to continue a conversation with her, however it would be wise to talk to some people. You will have to wait for Mickey to show up. He should automatically greet Riley (#2), so you won't have to click on him right away.
Goal: Use the grill (+250 Aspiration)
You will have to click on a nearby grill (#1). There's only one section of actions here. It doesn't really mater what you choose (Hamburgers or Hot Dogs). The most important thing is that you prepare this meal. As you've probably noticed, Riley will automatically go back to the main area of the park (#2). She will serve this meal to other guests. Don't worry, because she's not doing anything wrong.
Use one of the tables. You should also invite Mickey, however he will probably perform this action on his own (#1). Remember that you aren't rushed by anything, so don't worry if it takes him some time to get here. You should let this couple to have a short conversation (#2).
Goal: Tickle Mickey (+250 Aspiration)
This is a very simple objective. Additionally, you will be able to fulfill this task within a few seconds. I'm sure that you know what has to be done here. Click on Mickey. Go to Play section. You should be able to find a Tickle action here (#1). Choose it (#2). As a result, you will be able to proceed to the next objective.
Goal: Use the swingset (+500 Aspiration)
You should be able to find two swingsets in the left section of the park (#1). You will have go there now, without having to worry about Mickey. One of the swingsets may be occupied, but that's not a problem. You will only need one object (#2) in order to interact with it. As a result, you should be able to fulfill this mission objective and you will proceed to the next challenge.
Goal: Kiss Mickey (+1000 Aspiration, +500 Reputation)
This is the last main objective of this chapter. Start off by listening to what Mickey has to say. He will suggest that Riley becomes his girlfriend (#1). Our main character will agree to this. Now you will have to focus your attention on finishing this task. The objective will be to unlock one of the advanced actions - Make out. Open the Kiss section (#2). You should notice at least three-four options here.
Start using these actions (#1). You shouldn't leave this section, mostly because you won't be able to unlock new activities. Thankfully, it shouldn't take too much of your time. Additionally, you will have to make sure that this happens in front of the other people. As a result, I would recommend moving your characters to the central area of the map (#2). That's where other characters should be standing.
You will have to choose all available actions from the Kiss menu. Additionally, you should activate some of these options several times. As a result, you will be able to unlock the Make out option (#1). Choose it now. This will allow you to fulfill this mission objective (#2).
You should receive a new gift from Mickey (#1). This time it's going to be a beautiful painting. It would be wise to use it once you've returned to your house. Guest room or bedroom seems like a good idea. As for now, you will have to use a cell phone. Call a cab. Thankfully, you won't have to worry about saying goodbye to Mickey. Wait for the mission summary to appear on the screen (#2). Once you've returned home, you should have plenty of time for other activities. Sooner or later, you will have to go to sleep. Nevertheless, make sure that you've improved your creativity (guitar) and charisma (mirror).
