Part 4- Game secrets

UNLOCKING SIMS'S SECRETS
Every Sim has their own secret. Talk to them contantly and they will tell their's to you. By knowing people's secret, you get to unlock concept arts, a new social move and character.

THE GRIM COWBOY/ THE CUTE GHOST
The Grim Cowboy is the new character that appears only after you have unlock everyone's secret.
As for the ghost, you have to purchase a cute ghost painting from the Strangetown store, hang it up in the Manager Suite and you will see it appearing anywhere around the hotel.
You will not be able to interact with them when they first appear. But in time, you will unlock the means to interact with them either by giving them a gift or by using a new social move.

HONEST JACKSON- WHERE DID HE GO?
Well, many players might wonder why Honest Jackson disappears after Ava Cadavra appears. The reason for his disappearance is because of a glitch in the game. So, to unlock his secret, it's best to do so at the beggining of the game.

BIGFOOT- WHY IS HE ALWAYS IN THE SECRET WAREHOUSE?
Bigfoot is the creature found in the secret warehouse and it can only appear outside anywhere around the Strangetown hotel after he has told you his secret.

GLITCHES
This are some of the glitches in the game i had found out by accident. I will post more of these when i discover others. If you know any other glitches in the game, please leave a message in the comments box. I will post it under 'GLITCHES DISCOVERED BY OTHER PLAYERS' thanks.

1. For example, let's say that Auda Sheriff is in the small guest room or whichever room, if you arrange the furnitures while he is inside, he will disappear suddenly after you are done and the strange thing is that if you call him, he will still say that he is in the room you are in. Weird, right?

2. Another glitch. If you go to the saloon rooms, turn left into Jebediah's room and keep walking towards the small orange shelf (that's what i think it is but i may be wrong) at the right corner even if there is no more space, you will walk through it suddenly and before you know it you will start falling underground!!! And a warning: DO NOT SAVE when you fall underground as you will NEVER come out of it!!! Remember to SAVE before trying this!!!

Part 3- Optimum Alfred

1. The penthouse has been trashed by the outraged Ava, and the new visitor Optimum Alfred tells you to buy a Galatronic Power Recharger to provide him with enough electricity for the job of upgrading the penthouse. And guess what? Now Jebediah tells you that Ava left a wallet stuffed with 3500 simoleons behind and it is yours!

2. Buy the Galatronic Power Recharger at the local store for 1000 simoleons and take it back to Alfred at the penthouse. If you visit him again later on, he will tell you that he is bored and needs a job. He will fix the wiring in the hotel but you must give him 20 nuclear fuel rods. Get them and give it to Alfred.

3. When Alfred get the fuel rods, he will go a little insane under the influence of them and after his fit, he tells you that he needs to calm down by taking a nap.

4. Exit the penthouse and return back. He is now disgusted that you do not have a satellite television. He will remedy the situation himself and if you get to the pool after that, you will see that a satellite dish has been installed. Go back to the penthouse and Alfred tells you that he cannot use the satellite dish because moles have infested the hotel and chews the wire everytime he attempts to install it. Now, go to the sundeck to find Lord Mole chewing on the wires.

5. Squirt him with your Super Drencher to stop him. When you leave the penthouse after visiting it again, you will find Alfred shouting wildly 'It has BEGUN! The time of the ROBOTS is NIGH!'

6. Suit up as the Ratticator, find the robots and capture them to stop this Robot Invasion. Go to the penthouse after that, talk to Alfred and then head to the hotel lobby to find Emperor Xizzle. You get a new goal after speaking to him. 'Earn Mechanical 5, break into the penthouse, and steal the blueprints. The Concierge will now tell you that Alfred has been sneaking out of his room every night between 6.00 p.m. and 10.00 p.m. to recharge his batteries.

7. Once you earn the 5 Mechanical skills, you can only hack into the penthouse during the time that Alfred will not be in.

8. Hack into the penthouse and you will find the blueprints on the floor. Go to the hotel lobby and give it to Emperor Xizzle. Optimum Alfred will then appear at the door of the lift.

9. When you return to the Lobby, Xizzle will then have a plan. He will give a potion to you telling you to drink it at the sundeck so as to destroy the Satellite dish.

10. Destroy the dish and return to the main lobby. Xizzle will then tell you to defeat Alfred.
New mission goal: Defeat Optimum Alfred.

11. Go to the rat cave and put on the rat suit. Then, head over to the sundeck to find Alfred. You will also have to fight his robots as he escapes 2 times from you. Defeat them and the credits will roll.

12. Optimum Alfred will then activate the rotor blades on his head and disappears. Go to the main lobby and talk to Xizzle. He tells you now that Alfred evil is no more on this Earth and so real evil will be done by him. He activates his flying mechanism and disappears...

Congratulations! You have completed the game but still, i recommend that you carry on playing as you can unlock Sim's secrets by always talking to them and also meet a new character, the Grim Cowboy. Read more about these things on my next post!
