Game guide:Get a Life mode walkthrough

Not to be confused with The Sims 2: Get a Life.

The Get a Life mode is installed in the console version of The Sims. It will gives you different objectives to accomplish.

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

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 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.

Reality Bites

The character has moved to a new house for the time being. Nobody's living with them. The thing is, the house is a mess. Everything's broken, there is trash everywhere and the toilet's clogged. A new character, either Mimi (if the character is Female) or Dudley (if the character is Male) will come over and say that the character can stay in the house for free if they tidy up the house and fix all the stuff. Either Dudley or Mimi will let the character stay at their house after they have gotten promoted two times and have gotten new stuff in the house. After the player has done everything, the character will go to their house and become roommates.

Party Animals

The character has moved into another house, which Dudley/Mimi lives in. The player may want the character to live with somebody else as soon as possible. To do so, the character has to throw a party and find somebody to be their roommate. The character must also get promoted two more times. After the character gets two promotions, they can move out with a person at the party. One of those people is Bingo Roomies.

Hot to Trot

The person the character is living with at this point is only temporary, as they may want to find a person to marry. In this level, the character has to get promoted another two levels and throw another party. At this party, the character has to find someone of the opposite sex and try to "score" with them. When they do, they get married and move in with him/her.

Who Loves Ya Baby

Now the character is in their house with their spouse and they are all alone. They have to have two babies and take care of them until they are kids. When they grow to be kids, the characters' main goal is to not let their marks drop to "F" or they will be sent to military school. The character also has to get promoted another two levels yet again. After they have done everything, they will move to another house.

The Last Simoleon

The player moves into Malcolm Landgraab's mansion, the exact same one from the dream at the beginning of the game. Now that the character has completed almost everything, there are only a few more things left to do. The character has to keep the kids' grades high enough to be sent into prep school. They also have to get promoted to the highest level. Then, the characters have to save up 20,000 simoleons to buy a yacht. Then, the characters have to throw one retirement party. After this, the game is completed.
