The Human CpU

First thing you will want to do is read one skill into Handiness to start tinkering with objects around the house. Go to your bookshelf and start reading volume 1 of your handiness book. Once your skill bar fills up, you can start tinkering items such as:

• Stove
• Dishwasher
• T.V.
• Toilet
• Sinks
• Shower
• Computer

Tinkering is a great way to increase your handiness skill for your job. So while you are upgrading your house hold items to do more things, you also will start earning raises and benefits from gaining more levels in that skill.

You will first need to tinker the items 1-2 times until they will start showing you upgrades. Upgrades include self-cleaning, fire resistant, and unbreakable. You can only have one so what I usually do is pick the unbreakable and allow my maid service to clean everything everyday. This creates a hassle free environment, but you will have to fix things here and there – but that’s okay! Fixing things increases your handiness skill even more allowing you to complete repairs and handiness tasks quickly and easily.

When tinkering electronics, you end up giving that electronic more options for the Sims to do. More T.V. Stations, different things to do on the computer, and much more. Find out what the upgrades do, and start swinging away… Don’t worry your Sim won’t break it – Hopefully!

Ghost are inevitable, and you will find that out quick in Sims 3. But what do you do with ghosts that are in your personal space? Whether they are ghosts from your family, or unfortunate events that took place within your home – They can get annoying…

Ghost that you can’t control:

When someone dies, a urn appears and during random times (usually at night) that ghost will start running around and doing what ever it wants. Time to get rid of this ghost quick and easy. Wait till the ghost goes back into the remains urn and then pick up the urn… Keep it if you would like, but it is smart to head over to the cemetery and drop it off… You can also sell this item – but who’d want to do that…

Ghosts from your family – You are done with them!

It’s time to let go and face the music that your dead grandpa isn’t coming back. Well that is unless you get an opportunity to take his remains over to the science lab and have an experiment done on him… that’s another chapter.

There is a really simple way to get ride of the ghost and that is to activate the Sims controls, click on the dead Sim, and then send him to the Netherlands… Say buh-bye because you’ll never see your big salary again. Hopefully you earned enough dough to partner in a business so that your family can live on to become the millionaire your fell short of becoming.

I suggest having some fun with the ghosts and using them to tinker and upgrade things. You can always send them off to terrorize someone you dislike!
