 Introduction
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

   This guide is designed to be a concise-but-thorough guide to MySims. The
   game is not terribly complicated, but there is a lot of lists to manage
   - sims, blueprints, and essences. I have attempted to provide a coherent
   and straightforward guide to these subjects. As usual, it is a work in
   progress. If you have any additional questsions, feel free to contact me
   at wild(dot)halcyon(at)gmail(dot)com (sorry, spambots...). Simply place
   "mysims" (no space!) in the subject of your email so it doesn't get
   spam-filtered.

   *Small caveat* Please don't ask questions that I've answered already in
   the guide. If you do, I will simply ignore your message, or block your
   email address.

   What won't be covered in this guide:
     Unfortunately, I can't really provide a list of house-building
   unlockables. The game doesn't name them, so knowing what they are won't
   help that much. On the bright side, they are ALL unlocked by moving in
   Commercial Sims.
     The same is true of outfits. You earn some outfits by building the
   changing booth and costume chest. The rest are unlocked by becoming
   best friends with Commercial Sims and UBER Townies. If you're missing
   something, just befriend these characters.

   To be completed:
       - Tutorial
       - Blueprint List
       - Organize rewards from Commercial Sims

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
 Star Levels
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

   When you begin the game, you won't have access to the entire town.
   Progressively as you complete tasks and befriend your neighbors, you will
   earn points towards your star level. There are 6 star levels - ranging
   from 0 to 5. Each star level provides you with a tool to explore new parts
   of the town map, and also recruit new sims in the hotel. After earning a
   star level make sure to check in the hotel to see any new faces to move
   into your town.

****************
 Star Level 1
****************

   Star Level 1 unveils the crowbar. You can now access boarded doorways.
   Actually, there's only one - west of the town center. It unlocks a geeky
   cave which you can prospect essences within.

****************
 Star Level 2
****************

   Star Level 2 rewards you with the saw. You can now saw down fallen tree
   trunks. There are actually a couple trunks, one at the entrance to the
   forest (underneath the red pergola) and one further in on the east side
   of the forest.

****************
 Star Level 3
****************

   Star Level 3 gives you the pickax. Break boulders with it wherever you see
   them. There's one in the town center blocking the entrance to the desert.

   There are three in the forest also - one east of the forest circle walkway,
   one souh of the fishing pond, and one at the southeast corner (you'll need
   to walk around the pond to reach it). Don't forget to use your saw and
   crowbar along the opened path south of the fishing pond for two additional
   areas!

   Lastly, there is a boulder in the northern corner of the desert, another
   one in the southwest, one fallen tree in the northwest, and two boarded-up
   caves - one between two statues near the center and one past the cemetary.

****************
 Star Level 4
****************

   Star Level 4 puts the almighty blowtorch in your possession. There's not a
   lot to do with it however. There's a rusty gate in the center of the pond
   in the forest, and one in the northeast corner of the forest.

   In the desert, there are two more useful gates. One in the southeast opens
   up some new lots and two fishing opportunities while the one to the far
   west opens up the junkyard (and a boarded-up cave behind it!).

****************
 Star Level 5
****************

   Star Level 5 gives you... nothing. Sorry, no tools here. You can now
   recruit some of the best Sims in the game however - the UBER sims. Get
   out there and star moving your Sims in!


-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
 Essence Walkthrough
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

   The Essence walkthrough is simply a brief guide to unlocking all areas of
   the game and collecting all 84 of the essences to use in your workshop
   projects. This is also a walkthrough for quickly unlocking all the areas
   of the game.



-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
 Star Level 0
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

   There are many essences that are available at the beginning of the game.
   I'll introduce them here.

   +---------------+
   |Social Essences|
   +---------------+

   You earn social essences by interacting with the other sims. Being nice
   to Sims usually results in Happy essences, although some sims give Angry,
   Scary, or Sad essences instead. Likewise, being mean to a sim will usually
   provide Angry essences, although sometimes you can receive Scary or Sad
   essences from this action as well.

 - Happy
 - Sad
 - Angry
 - Scary

   +--------------------+
   |Interactive Essences|
   +--------------------+

     Interactive essences are obtained by participating in activities with
   other sims. They can all be obtained elsewhere in the game, but I'll post
   them here as well, in case you want to grab them early.

     Cute sims occassionally hold tea parties. You can get Tina dolls from
   them if you participate.

     Tasty sims will sometimes have a picnic. They will reward you with some
   bacon if you eat with them.

     Studious sims will have book club meetings. You can earn pencils this
   way.

     Geeky sims occassionally launch rockets. The rockets will sometimes drop
   Rocket essences.

     Scary sims hold seances. This will summon the ghost Cassandra. Being
   nice to her sometimes results in Ghost essences. She can show up around
   town without the seance too! Be nice to her enough (it takes several
   dozen tries) and she will reward you with three unique blueprints.

 - Tina Doll
 - Bacon
 - Pencil
 - Rocket
 - Ghost

   +--------------+
   |Plant Essences|
   +--------------+

     Flowers will randomly grow around the village. If you choose to destroy
   the flower you can receive a thorn essence. Picking the flower will
   provide you with an organic essence.

     There are several essences that are earned from trees, depending on
   their type. Cutting down a tree that has fun or tasty essences gives you
   light wood. Cutting down a tree with cute or studious essences give you
   dark wood. Spooky trees and dead trees both give dead wood if you cut them
   down. You'll notice I haven't mentioned geeky essence trees. You won't
   find any for a long time, so I'll cover them when I reach the appropriate
   star level.

 - Thorn
 - Organic
 - Light Wood
 - Dark Wood
 - Dead Wood


   Around town, you'll find plenty of essences before you even start working
   on tasks for sims. Mayor Rosalyn shows you the orchard where you can find
   green apple, red apple and yellow blossom essences. There's also a thorn
   tree in a small orchard behind your house.

 - Red Apple
 - Green Apple
 - Yellow Blossom
 - Thorn (duplicate)

   In the area between the orchard and the train tracks you'll find a
   prospecting crystal. Prospect in this area to uncover some new essences:

 - Stone
 - 8-Ball
 - Purple Crayon

   Near the orchard and your house is a pond. Stand at the pier to fish. You
   can find three essences here:

 - Clown Fish
 - Rainbow Trout
 - Tire

   These are all the level 0 basic essences.

   The game starts off with a single task from the mayor. Build her podium,
   then visit Poppy and build her flower stand and bed. This should put you
   quickly into star level 1.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
 Star Level 1
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

   There isn't a lot of new essences to find in Star Level 2. You earn the
   crowbar, but the only place to use it is the small cave entrance in the
   southwest area of town. Prospect in this "geeky" cave and find some new
   essences:

 - Action Figure
 - Video Game

   Move in Chef Gino. He'll have some tasks for you such as the pizza oven
   and outfitting his kitchen. Complete all his tasks. You'll know when
   you've completed all the tasks because the sim will reward you with their
   "Decorative" item. Only commercial sims give you tasks and decoratives.
   Make sure you finish Poppy's and Chef Gino's tasks.

   Move in either DJ Candy or Vincent the museum curator. Completing either
   of their tasks should put you over the requirements for Star Level 2.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
 Star Level 2
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

   Now we're cooking with fire! Actually, we're sawing trees. A tree blocks
   the entrance to the forest on the west side of town. Cut it down and
   proceed into the forest. There are several new essences to be found here!

   The small plateau to the north of the big tree near the entrance holds a
   Cherry Blossom tree. Keep heading east, and a second plateau to the north
   holds a Plum Blossom tree and a Rose tree. You might wish to consider
   replanting these in town for quicker access.

 - Cherry Blossom
 - Plum Blossom
 - Rose

   Further into the forest you'll find a second pier leading into the water.
   Fish here to uncover three new fishing essences:

 - Crab
 - Octopus
 - Snake

   If you head to the north side of the pond, you can cross over the fallen
   tree. Immediately on the other side of the pond is a prospecting area.
   Several tasty essences can be uncovered:

 - Bacon
 - Cake
 - Chocolate Cake
 - Gingerbread Man

   Follow the eastern shore of the pond around to the south, cross the second
   fallen branch and find yet ANOTHER prospecting area. Only two essences
   here, one of which you've already found:

 - Organic (duplicate)
 - Terra Cotta

***Small Tip***

   Although an orange tree is cut-off from access by some rocks, you can
   still shake it and grab the orange essences after they fall if you wish
   to get some of these a little early...

   Now, there are several sims you can move into town at Star Level 2. Finish
   your star level 1 sims tasks first. After that, move in a couple Star
   Level 2 commercial sims. Nicole Vogue is a good choice at this point,
   since one of her tasks gives you a blueprint for the Changing Booth,
   unlocking some new clothing options. Also, Elmira the librarian has some
   very easy tasks to complete - most of her essences can be harvested from
   trees or being social with other sims.

   Just a couple should put you over the threshold for Star Level 3!

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
 Star Level 3
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

   "You have a pickax? I wish I had a pickax..."

   Ready for a bumpy ride? This is a LOT of essences unlocked. Lets begin
   in the forest!

   Slightly southwest of the tree in the pond is a set of boulders. Use the
   pickax here to reach a set of plateaus with connecting bridges. Go all the
   way across to reach a small stream. Break the boards blocking a cave mouth
   here to find some spooky trees in the cave:

 -Black Apple
 -Eyeball
 -Jack O'Lantern

   Head back to the central pond. On the opposite edge, on the south side
   (near the prospecting area with Terra Cotta and Organic) you'll find a
   cave with boulders blocking it. This leads to a large prospecting area
   with the following essences:

 -Magic Carpet
 -Music Note
 -Soccer Ball

   Near the entrance to the forest, break the boulders leading to the orange
   tree. Now you can "legitimately" reach them!

 -Orange

   Let's head back to town and go to the desert! When you first reach the
   desert you'll see several vacant lots. A small, dried orchard just north
   of these has a Sunflower tree.

 -Sunflower

   North of this area is a boulder blocking a set of stairs that leads to TWO
   prospecting areas. These are some of my favorite essences. There are three
   in each area, 1 corresponding to each essence type. The best thing though
   is that instead of providing textures and colors, each of these six
   essences paints an object translucent! If you wondered how Nicole Vogue
   had a transparent table in her shop, now you know!

 -Amber
 -Amethyst
 -Sapphire

 -Garnet
 -Jade
 -Topaz

   Past the second prospecting area is a small Black Rose tree.

 -Black Rose

   Now, head to the northwest corner of the desert. Around the large dinosaur
   fossil you'll find a prospecting area:

 -Dinosaur Fossil
 -Megalizard
 -Moai
 -Skeleton

   Past the fossil is a cemetary, which is a small prospecting area:

 -Spider
 -Voodoo Doll

   At the back of the cemetary is a boarded up cave. Inside are two ghost
   trees:

 -Ghost (duplicate)

   Head south in the desert. A small ridge half-way down holds three citrus
   trees:

 -Orange (duplicate)
 -Lemon
 -Lime

   There is a small prospecting area in the ruins in the southern part of the
   map. Its worth checking out, but some of the essences are a little rare:

 -Elephant
 -Hopi Doll
 -Puppy
 -Tiger

   Just north of this area, on the side of the wall of the plateau is a small
   cave entrance. Inside you'll find one of the last prospecting areas:

 -Red Crayon
 -Tim Doll
 -Tina Doll
 -Yellow Crayon

   On the southern wall of the map is another cave entrance. This leads to an
   area with four trees of a card-game flavor:

 -Club
 -Diamond
 -Heart
 -Spade

   Now that we've found all the new essences, lets move some people in to
   town. All of the Star Level 3 sims have some essences that can be
   annoying or tedious to get your hands on. First, finish off moving in all
   the Star Level 2 commercial Sims and complete their tasks. The best Star
   Level 3 sim is probably Dolly Dearheart. She gives you the Costume Chest
   blueprint in her first task. However, Goth Boy and Chef Watanabe have the
   easiest tasks of the group to complete.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
 Star Level 4
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

   Finally, you earn the blowtorch. There are only a handful of places to use
   this on, so lets get to it and uncover those new essences!

   Again, first head into the forest. In the center of the pond is a locked
   gate to blowtorch. Break it down and enter the tree. You'll find two
   checkered trees that have Pawn and Rook essences. Another locked gate
   outside past the prospecting area across the river gives you the Knight
   essence.

 -Knight
 -Pawn
 -Rook

   Now head to the desert. Use the blowtorch on the locked gate in the
   southeast to open up 3 new land plots and two(!) fishing piers. The
   southern one gives you Beachballs and Gold. The eastern one gives you Fish
   Bones, Kissing Fish and Tiny Sharks.

 -Beachball
 -Fish Bones
 -Gold
 -Kissing Fish
 -Tiny Shark

   The locked gate to the west leads to the junkyard. There are a TON of
   geeky essences here. Make sure you collect them all. Prospecting in the
   first area gives you:

 -Globe
 -Pencil

Prospecting in the second area:

 -Alien
 -Rocket
 -Star

   Finally, head into the cave in the back to find three geeky trees. After
   you harvest their essences at least once, melt down at least one to earn
   the metal essence too!

 -Gear
 -Metal
 -Robot
 -Spring

   Congratulations! You should have all 84 essences now!

   All that is left to do is complete the tasks for everyone. If you have any
   remaining Star Level 2 or 3 tasks to complete, you should finish them,
   then move in the super cool Star Level 4 commercial sims. They're all
   pretty even in the difficulty of their tasks. Once you complete these
   you've earned...

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
 Star Level 5
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

   Now that you've unlocked everything, feel free to move in whomever you
   wish into your town. You won't meet any more Commercial Sims, but you can
   move in all the new and great Star Level 5 townies. One of the more
   rewarding tasks at this point in the game is to find all six "UBER"
   townies. There is one for each essence category in the game. You find
   them by obtaining 100% interest in your town for that category. To earn
   interest change all the items in the town to reflect that category. If you
   want to unlock Samurai Bob, for instance, you would make everything in the
   town very Studious. Studious houses, studious trees, studious furniture
   for your sims. The more the better! Once you've reached that goal, you'll
   receive a message that a special visitor is in the hotel.

SWEET!

 Tips
-=-=-=-=

   ~ A lot of the building tasks require more essences than the blueprints
     for that task might allow. There are several ways to fit the required
     number of essences into an object:
       * Use one of the more complex blueprints. If the sim requests a bed
         for instance, try making the Bed - Canopy earned from Dolly Dearheart
       * Break up larger blocks into smaller pieces. Usually the blueprint
         uses larger blocks. You can fit more in if you break the pieces up.
       * Add pieces. You're not limited to just the blueprint. Feel free to
         add extra pieces to the design and color those with essences as well.
         These can be any size or shape you like.
       * Add flairs. Essences can easily be pasted onto the object as little
         flairs. They're not always pretty, but if your goal is just to
         accomplish the tasks, then they'll work nicely.

   ~ Trees are your best friend. A lot of sims ask for essences in abundance
     to complete their tasks. Plant a couple trees ahead of time of the
     required essences. This works especially well for Roxie Road with her
     Cherry Blossom essences, for instance. Unfortunately, this doesn't work
     for essences that you've prospected or fished.

   ~ Trees are also your worst enemy. Don't chop down the last tree you have
     of an essence, then use the essence all up! If you do wish to chop down
     a tree try to make sure that you're replanting one somewhere else. I'm
     not sure if they grow back, but I doubt it. If worse comes to worse, try
     to find an object that contains that essence then go edit it in your
     workshop and steal one back to replant.

   ~ Most essences have 2 patterns and 2 solid colors. There are six special
     essences that dont. They are translucent, so you can see right through
     them! They are:
           Garnet (Cute) ~ Red
           Topaz (Fun)   ~ Yellow
           Sapphire (Geeky) ~ Blue
           Amethyst (Spooky) ~ Purple
           Jade (Studious) ~ Green
           Amber (Tasty) ~ Orange

   ~ Befriending Cassandra the ghost can be annoying and time consuming. To
     make matters worse, some of her "Be Nice" actions actually cause
     negative reaction points. If you're quick enough, you can move your
     sim before she finishes performing the action, cancelling it. That way
     you won't lose the precious status you've worked hard to earn.

   ~ You don't need to wait until Star Level 5 to unlock the Uber townies.
     They're available whenever you can obtain 100% of their essence
     category. It's not hard at all with just the commercial sims who move
     into town!

 The Sims List
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

   These are all of the Sims that can be moved into your town. Commercial
   Sims are ones that have tasks for you to complete, while townie sims do
   not. I have included the tasks here, and will work on updating the
   rewards as I gain knowledge of them.
