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.
