{{Distinguish|The Sims 2: Get a Life}}
The '''Get a Life''' mode is installed in the console version of ''[[The Sims (Console)|The Sims]]''. It will gives you different objectives to accomplish.


In this mode, you play one [[Sim]] (whom you create), and move through various missions and houses. Your Sim will live with other characters during this time. While you can control these other characters, some of them don't do skill-boosting activities, and they rarely clean or cook.
== Dream House ==

The ''Get a Life'' mode begins after the player has made a character. The character is found in a nice house with a [[hot tub]] in the middle. All of a sudden, a character of the opposite sex appears, and kisses the player's character. S/he then gets into the hot tub and asks the player's character to join him/her. If the character gets in, the character suddenly hears a woman's voice saying "stop daydreaming", ''But'' if you don't get in the hot tub, she says "''You'' never joined me in the hot tub, I'm out of here!" then game over.

Money from Mom begins after the player's character wakes up from his or her daydream. The character is actually living in their [[mom's house]] and want to move out. Before being able to moving out, the character's mom wants you to repair the broken television, successfully cook a meal, and get a [[career|job]] so that they are prepared for what is to come. The character also has to borrow money from Mom; 800 [[simoleons]]. When they have done everything, their mom will say that she has found a house for them to rent.
