List of secrets in The Sims 2 (PSP)

Secrets are a feature introduced in The Sims 2 (PSP). They are pieces of information scattered through Strangetown, to be collected by the player. Once found, they are stored in the My Sim panel.

Types of Secrets
There are three types of secrets in the games.
 * Sim-related secrets: These secrets can be achieved by interacting with the Sim via social minigames. Personal secrets are acquired by reaching to level 4 of the chat minigame, intimate secrets are acquired by reaching to level 4 of the flirt minigame, and dark secrets are acquired after a successful intimidate minigame. A fourth Sim-related secret can only be acquired by completing goals.
 * Secrets of a certain subject: These secrets are found in the world as secret objects, set at a random, yet predestined, order. Again, each subject has four secrets.
 * Mission-based secrets: These secrets are discovered in their own mission, just like the fourth Sim-related secrets, but are acquired in a similar fashion to Secrets of a certain subject.
