List of secrets in The Sims 2 (PSP)
Secrets are a feature introduced in The Sims 2 for 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.
![](http://static.miraheze.org/simswiki/7/71/Secret_Icon_-_PSP.png)
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. Townies (known as neighbors in The Sims 2 for PSP) do not have a fourth secret.
- 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.
