EA Sims 3 – Symbian Mobile FAQ

I’ve just started with Sims 3 on my Nokia N95 and would add the tidbits about it as I progress with the game … a sort of FAQ if you’d please 😉

1. Can I control Sims 3 on my Nokia N95 using the accelerometer feature of the phone?  I don’t think so. At least I don’t find any accelerometer support in Sims 3 on my N95; nor is there any Option to this effect. I guess accelerometer support is only for iPhone.
2. Where/how can I catch fish in the game? Go the the Map and visit the “Hobby Shop”. Purchase the Fishing Kit.Visit the Lake. There are two spots each marked as “Fishing Spot”. Go to the Fishing Spot and choose “Go Fishing”. For fishing mini-game tutorial read the in-game Help (Pause > Help > Fishing Tutorial).
3. What do I do with the fish I caught? You can sell it at the “Quickmart”. I made some quick money this way (and Tuna don’t go cheap 😉  ). Or, you could make a meal with it. For that purpose, you’d need a stove, the recipe and other ingredients that go in a recipe.
4. Where do I get the recipes? Purchase them at the Bistro.
5. Where do I get the other ingredients of a recipe? You can either buy them at the Quickmart or you could grow your own.
6. How do I grow plants? You can grow plants only after the first upgrade to your home. You get a patch of garden on doing the first upgrade. Buy seeds from the Hobby Store and plant them. The seeds will then sprout. Buy some “Fertilizer” and “Watering Can” from the Hobbby Store. Select the plants and choose “Tend”. The plants will grow on tending. Tend them again and they’ll bear fruits …  carrots, tomatoes, corn etc. You can then “Harvest” them by clicking on the plant. The produce can be sold at Quickmart and/or used in recipes.
7. I seem to be stuck at being “Best Friends” with the other Sim. How do I progress to a romantic relationship? If  you want to enter into a romantic relationship with a Sim, do not let your friendship progress/develop to the level of Best Friends or even Good Friends. Immediately after your reach the level of Friends, start the “Romantic” actions. I believe its popularly known as the ‘Friend Zone‘.
8. I’m hell bent on having a romantic relationship with a Sim who considers me as Best Friend. How do I go about it? Well… it doesn’t sound good but you could humiliate and slap around the Sim (“Be Rude”)  so that the level of friendship goes down from best friend to good friend and then to just friend. Once that happens, do the romantic stuff. Mind you, I’ve no idea what could be the long term repercussions of these actions.
9. What is woohoo-ing? I’ve no idea but I’d let you know once I find out.
10. Can I copy-paste this info without referring to this source? You’d be a bad bad llama if you do.
11. Can I sue you if my N95 blows up while following these tips? Nope. Llama grooming is to be blamed for that.
