Energy

Gives a blue bar indicating your friends hunger level.

Drop one of your adult friends or a child that is 14 or older on the Kitchen table to have them prepare a meal. Dropping your adults on the Kitchen table to prepare a meal is especially important when an adult has a career that works in the Kitchen...dropping one of these little friends anywhere else in the kitchen will probably cause them to start working on their career or some other action.

Your little friends tend to not eat meals without your assistance. Should you leave the game while one of them is preparing a meal...your little friend will stop preparing a meal.

After the meal has been prepared drag your family members onto the kitchen table one at a time and they will "sit down to a meal" which seems to sustain them for a much longer period of time and increases the "Fed" bar the fastest.

Your little people will eat on their own without your assistance as long as there is food in the house.

Feed Bar

Health

Gives a blue bar indicating their health condition. The longer the blue bar the healthier they are.

Keeping food in the house and giving them medication promptly after they become ill appears to be the best preventatives for keeping your families healthy.

The bathroom upgrade also appears to keep your little friends healthier.

Should one of your friends become ill or very weak, treat them for their symptoms as soon as possible. The faster you respond to an illness, the less likely your little friends will become weak. Should your ill friend still remain ill after an hour of treating their symptoms...have a doctor consult to see if they have an infection and need to be treated with an antibiotic. Treat them with the penicillin first, then the vancomycin

Have an ill friend sit down to a meal several times and keep the fed bar up to slightly boost their health.

Using the chamomile drink works when they become ill as it lets them rest.

Vitamins and fruit from the varied items section of the store can also slightly boost their health.

Once one of your little friends becomes weak, it takes quite some time for their strength to greatly improve. Sometimes the best medicine is a good nights rest.

Happiness

Gives a blue bar indicating how happy your family member is. The longer the blue bar, the happier they are. The happiness level can range from depressed to elated.

What makes your friends happy:

1. Food in the refrigerator.
2. A house that is picked up with no wrappers, socks or TV remote on the floor.
3. The yard is free from weeds.
4. Money in the bank.
5. Having children.
6. There is a distinct correlation between the health of the family members and their happiness. If they're healthy they're happier.
7. House upgrades.
8. Career promotions and making money.
9. Selling collectables on line.

• Should one of your friends become depressed, help them out of their funk by praising them often for any positive behavior you desire; even if it is picking up a collectable, purchase an inexpensive upgrade if possible and defiantly put food on the table to store in the refrigerator. Time will be the best healer for a depressed friend. Try not to scold a depressed family member

Store 2

Purchase groceries from the store and place them on the Kitchen table...your little friends get sooo excited to see groceries in the house they drop whatever they're doing to peak at the groceries and to put them away.

1. Top row of groceries in store are regular foods and equal 150 units in each category.
2. Bottom row of groceries in store are the organic foods/higher quality and equal 250 units in each category.
3. There is a special every day on one of the food categories. When you can afford it and there is space in the inventory stock up on the specials.

Keeping 1,000 units of groceries in the house helps keep your families happiness level up. Select the refrigerator, the door will open and the "food available" will show above the action task bar.

Allow 200 units of food for each family member per day...it's not a bad idea to have extra on hand in case they through some food out or another emergency arises.

Your family will eat on their own throughout the day as long as there are groceries in the house.

For optimal "Fed" sustenance:

• Have an adult prepare a meal by placing them on top of the kitchen table. The action bar should read "preparing a meal".
• After the meal has been prepared, place each family member on top of the table and they will "sit down to a meal". The children seem to be the most sustained when sitting down to a meal. All family members are more sustained when they sit down to a meal than when they eat on their own. The men tend to need to eat more than the rest of the family...oh, how true to life!

Cobwebs

Place a family member on the right side corner of the right sink to remove the cobwebs. If you do this several times and they don't remove any cobwebs, try again later as there may not be any cobwebs at the time.

Clogged Shower or toilet

Place an adult in front of the clog to take note of the problem.

Transfer the adult to the plungers in the laundry room between the closet and the table.

Your little friend will now repair the offending clog.

Leaky Sink

Place an adult in front of the leaking sink so they take note of the problem.

Transfer the adult to the back of the workshop and place in front of the red toolbox so they may pick up a wrench.

Your little friend will now repair the leaking sink.

Dryer Fire (Shed must be opened)

Place an adult in front of the clothes dryer (there will be smoke emitting from the dryer) so they take notice of the fire. The action bar will indicate your friend is aware of the fire.

Transfer the adult who viewed the fire to the shed to pick up a fire extinguisher...your little friend will then extinguish the fire.

Oven Fires

Place an adult or a child 14 or older in front of the burning oven (there will be smoke emitting from the stove) so they take notice of the fire. The action bar will indicate your friend is aware of the fire.

• Transfer the adult who viewed the fire to the shed to pick up a fire extinguisher...your little friend will then extinguish the fire.

Bird Bath Repair

• Purchase the bird bath pump from the store.
• Place the bird bath pump on top of the bird bath.
• Place 2 adults on top of bird bath. Place 1 adult on top of bird bath...pause the game by pressing the space bar...then place the other adult on top of bird bath...press the space bar again to resume game...walla...bird bath repaired.

Repairing the Outside Workshop Walls (Leaky Hose has to be repaired before repairing Workshop Walls):

• Purchase the Wall Compound from the store.
• Place the Wall Compound on top of the bucket near the hose at the right side of the house.
• Place an adult friend on top of the Wall Compound (may need to attempt this several times) to mix the compound.
  
• Your friend will walk to the Workshop and start to repair the walls...or maybe your friend will walk away...they do have short attention spans.
  
• Repeatedly place your adult friend on top of the bucket until the walls are repaired. Should your friend walk away for too long the compound will dry and you'll have to purchase additional compound and start over repairing the walls.
• You can place more than one adult on compound to expedite the repair process.
• A pop-up window will appear when walls are repaired and the compound will disappear.

Watering the Flowers (The leaky hose must be fixed first and the shed must be opened)

• Place an adult friend above the flower box closest to the top of the scene outside the living room window. You should receive an action message of "Watering the flowers". This may take several attempts before receiving the message.
• Your friend will fill a watering can full of water and water the window-box flowers.

Floor Repair

Purchase a floor repair kit from the store.

Place a floor repair kit over one of the cracks in the floor; the repair kit will remain on the floor next to the crack until the crack is repaired.

Place one of your adult friends on the crack where you placed the floor repair kit.

Continue to place your friend over the crack until the repair is completed; the crack will be gone and the floor repair kit will disappear when crack is repaired.

You'll need to purchase a minimum of 3 floor repair kits. One for each crack.

Repeat the steps above for each floor crack.

Additional floor repairs may need to be purchased to repair the floors again if your friends suffer an earthquake.

Leaky Hose

Purchase the all-American repair product...duct tape.

Place duct tape near the leaky hose at the back of the house.

Have one of your friends lower the water pressure in the house by washing hands, getting a drink, using the toilet or taking shower.

Take an adult friend and place them on top of the hose at the back of the house. Your little friend will repair the leaky hose while the water pressure is lowered.

Opening the Shed

Select one of your people and transfer them to the top right of the sandbox to pick up the shed doorknob. The sandbox is outside the house and to the right of the office at the front of the house.

After the doorknob is on the shed, transfer one of your friends to the welcome doormat outside the front door where they will pick up a key and open the shed door.

The shed contains fire extinguishers and watering cans.

The fire extinguishers are used to put out oven and clothes dryer fires.

The watering cans are used to water the flower boxes after the leaking hose has been repaired.

Getting Married

You'll probably receive an email alert shortly after your new adoptee enters the house. Your adoptee will have an unorthodox marriage (email) proposal without any romance. The adoptee may choose to get married or wait for another proposal later. Getting married has a HUGE positive impact on their happiness.

If you choose to marry someone with less than $100 in the bank you marry for love. If you choose to marry someone with $200 in the bank, you marry for money.

Marriage proposals will become more infrequent as time passes...so you may want to take this into consideration before rejecting a proposal

Showering

Place your adoptee in the shower when they start to "not feel so fresh".

Washing their hair, brushing their teeth, flossing, applying deodorant or washing their hands will also have a slight impact on their personal hygiene...the shower works best.

If you praise your new friend while taking a shower they might take the initiative and take a shower on there own when they start to get "stinky" again.
