way, it doesn't even need to be done strictly in this order either.

Star Level 0-1
1. Find Tim: Talk to Helen the Mayor, she will refuse to give you a tour of the town, she would have her grandson Tim do it, but she doesn't
know where he is, she wonders maybe the Racquetball Court. Visit the Racquetball Court in Town where you will find Tim, talk to him and cheer
him up. Then return to Helen, when you get there Tim will be with her. She will ask for your name and tell you about others who live in this resort.
2. Meet the Locals: Visit Ewan at his home, you will find him in an angry mood. Cry to Ewan, he is a police officer so helping upset people is
what he does best, this will cheer him up. Next go visit Tyler in his shop, he is sad and needs someone to listen and give him a bit of
encourgement. Once he is happy return to Helen.
3. New Arrival: When seeing Helen a girl will run in asking to set up a flower shop in town, Helen is delighted and lets her stay in town.
Continue to chat with Helen whom will ask you to check on Ashley.
4. Ashley: Ashley is standing outside the flower shop, speak with her and she will ask you to fill all the flowerbeds in town. She will then
give you you lots of Tuplips, go round town and plant up all four flowerbeds and return to Ashley. Ashley is so happy she gives you money and
you reach Star Level 1.
Star Level News: As more shops open and the town becomes prosperous, the Star Level will accumulate. Once the Star Level meter is full,
the number of tourists will increase, and a wider variety of events will occur. Your acitivities have helped clean up the town a bit and the sims in town seem happier! Keep up the good work!
Star Level 1-2
Hint: Spend all your money every day in the stores. This makes the shop owners happy as the more trade they get the better.
Hint: From here on in you will see toruists. Whenever you see one, chat to them and make them happy, not only does this earn
you a little extra money, but it also helps increase the interest in your resort, meaning more sims will want to visit.
1. Check In: Visit Helen to let her know all is ok, she is really happy with the flowers and all your hard work. She advises you get some
rest and that your belongings have been delievered to your new home.
2. Next Morning: After your rest you will awake and be straight back with Helen who will tell you toruists are starting to visit. In addition
Olivia is back from her buying trip and Joseph is home. Helen has heard that someone has moved into the Forest, but she hasn't seen anyone,
she wonders if the rumours are true.
3. Olivia: Go see Olivia in the General Store, the store will be full of items, but you can't see Olivia. Go to the suit of armour in the corner
where Olivia is trapped and tap on it. This will free her, which will make her happy.
4. Joseph: Visit Joseph by the Docks and cheer him up, he needs it.
5. Furniture Shop: Sophie is asleep at the back of her store, you need to wake her up with some comfort and encouragment. She will wake
and will introduce herself.
6. Racquet: Find Tim by a Racquetball Court, go chat to him. He will tell you why he is wearing a dog outfit and
that he doesn't like making his grandmother worry. Chat to him again, he will express that increasing sport in the area may give tourists a
reason to visit and so he asks if you would like to try out Racquetball. He will then give you a Regular Racquet, have a game of Racquetball.
Once you have had a go chat with Tim again. He will let you keep the Racquet if you help him improve the town.
7. Back in Business: By now Tyler should have opened his tailer store, go see him and have a chat.
8. Flower Shop: Ashley has opened a new flower shop, visit her and have a chat about it. Keep chatting and Ashley will ask you about making
Leis. She confeses that she is terrible at making them and asks you to make some instead. Make some Leis for Ashley, this mini game gets you
money and Ashley always lets you keep one, which is a great gift to give to tourists when you see them.
9. Deputy: That afternoon go see Ewan, he will offer a test to you. He will give you a camera and ask you to go to the Forest and
and take a picture of the Symbol Tree. Run to the Forest and get the best picture you can of the tree and return to Ewan, show him your picture
which he will not only give you money for, but will also award you the position of Deputy and will ask you keep the camera.
10. Go Fishing: Before evening sets in pay a visit to Joseph who will give you the Regular Fishing Rod. He will request that any fish you
catch you take to him, Joseph loves to record all the fish in the area, he also gives you money for the fish.
11. Name the Shop: The following day visit sophie, who you will find sleeping on the job, if you try to talk to her she will mention
something about the name of the shop, as if in her sleep she is trying to think of a name for her shop. If you keep talking to her a screen
will pop up asking for you to name the store. Choose a name and Sophie will wake up and jump for joy as she thinks of a name for her store.
Star Level News: A few stores have opened up and the town is picking up. The mayor is thinking of ways to improve the town's
transportation system.
Mayor's Message: With the number of Sims increasing, we've decided to introduce a Trolley System to improve the transportation
around here. There will be a small fare to ride the trolley, but it'll be very convenient, so please do use its services when you can.
And, to increase the number of shops, I've hired someone to reopen the cake shop that had been closed down. He should be at the shop by
now. With this the Town is taken care of, but there are other areas that need tending to. I think the Highlands needs to be addressed
first. We don't have the funds to hire a ranger for that area yet.
Star Level 2-3
Hint: Tourists are easier to please when you give them better gifts such as Normal Leis and cakes, but certain cakes a not
to certain sims tastes.
Hint: If you see something sparkling on the ground, tap on it twice.
Making Leis: Keep making those Leis, Ashley will eventually be really happy and mention next time making Normal Leis. They
are harder to make, but the receiving party is made happier by them.
Cakes: Go visit the new chef Charlie in the cake shop and be sure to buy his cakes everyday. This will be a big help later
on, plus they make nice gifts for the tourists. That said, each tourist likes a different type of cake, give them one they don't
like and you don't really benefit from giving them a gift.
New Ranger: Pay a visit to Marie, she needs you to help her make the Highlands more appealing. She asks you to find five
sparse areas (where there is no grass) and place a nice item. The options are: Bed of Tulips, Garden Parasol, Bed of Sunflowers
or a Sculpture. Once you have placed them return to Marie, she gives you some money for your troubles.
New Items: Time to pay a visit to Olivia, if you have been buying a few bits each day it will be time for Olivia to buy
some new stock, have a chat with her so she may tell you the good news.
Improvements: You should be seeing tourists in the Highlands now, be sure to cheer up every tourist you see.
Racquetball: Its time to play a few games, once you have Tim will turn up and offer you a new game, Target 1.
Rescue: The following day be sure to pay a visit to Olivia's store. She has the new stock but once again she is stuck out
of sight in her store. This time she is stuck under the table to the right of the shop door, all you need do is doubled tap on
the ink and pen item.
New Racquet: Have a chat with Tim who will give you a new Racquet, what with you improving.
New Sport: Give it a couple of days, then pay a visit to Marie. She is interested in taking up a new sport, she says that
she found a glider in her house and would like you to test it. With that you test the glider for her and unlock the Paragliding
in the Highlands
Star Level News: All the stores in town are open for business and everyone is eager to work. Sims from the lively town on
the outlying island are coming to the mayor's town.
Mayor's Message: A lot more sims are getting involved in sporting activities and this place is becoming more and more like a
resort town. Today we got an application from someone applying for the position of Forest Ranger. And, there's going to be a ferry
service between here and the Entertainment Area on the other island. Get ready for more tourists.
Star Level 3-4
Hint: Sometimes its better to travel by foot. You meet more tourisits and some of their requests can improve your star
rating.
Hard Leis: Keep making those Leis for the tourists. Ashley will be thrilled and offer you to make even harder Leis, these
are great for the tourists, makes cheering them up really easy.
Highlands: Visit Marie again and have a char with her, she will have a new item and want you to put five new items out around
the Highlands. As before for find the sparse areas and place the same items out before, but with a Bird House thrown in for good
measure.
Inspiration: Visit Sophie at the furniture shop. She has run out of inspiration and wants you to help her design material for
her furniture. Design a pattern for Sophie, she will of course love it. In fact she loves it so much she offers for you to design
all your future furniture and she will make it to order. Essence of Forest can be used now.
Big Bucks: If you are tired of your tiny little home, then now is a great time to save £10100. Being good a Paragliding makes
this easy to save for.
Mansion Time: Go to the Port and meet Niki, chat with her a couple of times and jump on the ferry to the Entertainment Area.
During the day time in the new area you should be able to find Elizabeth. Encourage her to talk to you, she tells you her house is
to small for her pets and so she is buying an island where she plans to build a mansion. She will ask if you want to buy her house,
if you say yes she asks for £10000. You don't have to buy it and you have the opportunity to buy it later on, but you do get the huge
house, so if you are frustrated buy your tiny little place then this is a great buy.
Mountain: Return to your island and give it a day before returning back to the port area where you should find Elizabeth again,
she tells you she bought the Mountain in the town as a commemorative gift. It was the first mountain she ever climbed.
Foster: Go visit the new Forest Ranger. Foster seems frightened, encourage him and lend him an ear and soon he will be as right
as rain. Foster loves animals and asks you to help him in the Forest, by removing dead trees and replacing it with new items and plants.
Like with the Highlands place five new items. Your item are: Flowering Tree, Rest Area, Tree or Tent.
Star Level News: The boat can be taken to the Entertainment Area and more new places are opening up. The only place that is still
closed is the mountain.
Mayor's Message: You know that closed off mountain I was talking about? Well the owner has donated it to the town! It even comes with
a ranger! This is such wonderful news! Ever since you came to this town, things have been going smoothly. It's like a dream.
Star Level 4-5
Hint: Charlie is a cousin to Gino the famous Italian chef in the Wii version of MySims. When you have purchased many cakes from
Charlie he will tell you gossip about other citizens. This is great if you are stuck in this game, if you get to a point and you don't know
what to do next, Charlie points you in the right direction. I got to five stars because of Charlie.
Tracy: Go to the Mountain and visit the house there. Chat with the blue haired lady, after much chat she will tell you she is the
Mountain Ranger and she gives you a shovel and asks you to dig up something valuable. When you have dug up some Ore return to Tracy, she
keeps the gem and instead of giving you money gives you points. She says you can do that for her anytime, but she will charge £50 for the
shovel each time.
Dig Dug: Waste no time and dig up some more Ore for Tracy and earn more points, when you have about 300 points ask Tracy to trade
them in for an item. She will show you a list of items, many of them are heads and bodies, swap your points for one head and one body of
your choosing.
Town Symbol: Visit the mayor and have a chat with her, Helen asks if you would like to make a statue in the middle of town to
attract more tourists. Of course you must say yes, you then give her one head and one body of your choice, the next day your stature
is complete in all it's glory.
Leap of Faith: Back to the Mountain to see Tracy, she has decided to complete with the Paragliding at the Highlands area by opening
one at the top of the Mountain and she wants you to test it for safety. This will unlock the paragliding on the mountain and gain you your
fifth star, congratulations!
Star Level News: All areas are now accessible and the town is almost fully developed. There are some sims interested in taking up a
new sport.
Mayor Message: You're making the tourists happy and this town is so full of sims now. An excellent town symbol has been erected and
everyone is gazing upon it with deep interest. Also somebody has arrived at the air field in the Entertainment Area. He is having trouble...

even get your first star. All you need do is go talk to him, he will give you a racquet to play. Practice makes perfect, the more you
play the more game features and difficulty setting will be unlocked.
Fishing
It was this big, honest! Test your fishing capabilities with the fishing mini-game. When you are near a river, lake, or the sea, you
can cast your rod and enjoy some relaxing fishing time. Also, you would like to help Joseph the fisherman by bringing your catch back to
his shop-he likes to record the different varieties of fish in his log book, and gets really excited when he sees a new one.
Fishing Rods
Regular Rod
Stiff Rod
Flexible Rod
Aumsing Rod
As you catch and sell more fish for Joseph, he will give you upgraded fishing rods. Each rod makes it easier to catch fish and increases
the chances of catching harder more rare fish. By the time you have all the rods you should be able to catch all the different types of
fish available.
Hint: Different fish react to different lure movements so try applying various motions to the lure.
Hint: Fish caught depends on location and time of day, so experiment with when and where you fish.
Fish Guide
How to Unlock: At Star Level 1 Joseph will be standing at the docks, he needs cheering up. Once you have done this you can chat to
him and he will tell you all about fishing and how much he enjoys it. He will give you a fishing rod and ask you to take all the fish you
catch back to him.
Paragliding
Take to the skies! Your goal is to stay airbourne for the longest distance possible while picking up as many jewels as you can. Avoid
the wayward birds because they may cause you to crash.
How to Unlock: There are two Paragliding locations, the first to become available will be Marie in the Highlands. At Star Level 2
a couple of days after you have helped Marie improve the Highlands, go and have a chat with her. Marie will say that she wants to take up
the sport as she has found a glider in the ranger house, but she wants you to test drive the glider.
The second location is the Mountains with Tracy, when you reach Star Level 4 and after you have gone dowsing for Tracy and completed the
Town Statue go back and speak with her. She will mention wanting to set up a Paragliding area of her own to compete with Marie's, but
of course wants you to test it for safety.
Bronze Medal: 6500 points needed
Silver Medal: 13000 points needed
Gold Medal: ? points needed
Casino
Time to put on your poker face on. The Casino game offers three different card games for you to place some bets.
Exactly 21
In this Blackjack-style game, you can bet up to 10 points on each hand. Five cards are dealt automatically-keep hitting (asking for
another card) to get the total value of all your cards as close as you can to 21 without going over. The more cards you turn without
going bust increases your winnings. If the cards add up to exactly 21, your winnings are doubled.
Dodge the Thief
Beware of the thief! You are given seven cards to place on a panel numbered on to six. Try to match the cards to the correct numbers
on the board to score points. Ensure the robber card is kept away from the board. Before the game starts, one number is randomly
selected automatically. If you then place the correct card on that number, your winngs are doubled.
Tic-Tac-Trump
Nine cards are dealt face down to make a three-by-three grid. Turn a single card over each time to reveal the numbers on the back.
Try to get three matching cards in a row to win a bingo! After the first two cards are turned, you are offered the chance to double
your bet.
How to Unlock: All the games are available to play as soon as you can reach the Casino in the Entertainment Area, this area of
the map becomes available when you have reached Star Level 3.
Scuba Diving
Go for a dive in the beautiful resort waters and try to get as many photographs of aquatic life as possible. The better the
photograph, the more points you score. Snap up to nine photos in the allotted time, and then pick your best three to be counted
toward your score.
Scoring
What makes for a nice photograph, you ask? Good question! You score more points if you:
1. Capture the fish in the center of the photo and from the optimal distance.
2. Take photos at an angle that best shows the beauty of the fish.
3. Capture mulitple fish in a single photograph.
How to Unlock: This is a tricky one to unlock, it requires lots of money and patience. All you need to do is use the ferry
service a serious amount of times, it could even be 100 crosses. After a lot of use Niki will say she has found a boat, but doesn't
know what to do with it. A couple of days later Niki will say, she has thought of a great idea but you must wait to find out what it
is. Then you will hear nothing of it again for along time, just use the ferry service an excessive amount till FINALLY, one day Niki
launches her new Scuba Diving business.
Skydiving
Sure, it's crazy to jump out of a perfectly good airplane-unless it's for a whole passel of jewels! Navigate safely to the ground
while collecting as many jewels as you can along the way.
How to Unlock: This is unlocked when you reach Star Level 5. Go visit Martin, he can be found in the Entertainment Area at the
Air Field, you need to help him with a few bits and leave a couple days grace before he will unlock the Skydiving.
Additional Information
Jewellery Making
To become best friends with Oliver, you need to help her make lots of jewellery, which you then give as gifts to visitors. To
do this you need to go dowsing for jewels. When you have some visit Oliver who will ask to take them from you, a couple of days
later the item will be finished. It's as easy as that!

Dig for ores within the given time limit. Tap the screen twice to display the radar, as you tap circles appear which can be various
types of colours which indicates how hot or cold you are to finding the item. Keep walking and tapping from blue, light blue, light
yellow, orange to bright red. When it turns bright red then you are right by the item, keep tapping near by till a "!" appears then dig
up the item by tapping button A.
Camera
Ewan the police officer will give you a camera near the start of the game. He will ask you to take a picture of the Symbol Tree.

may be asked for:
Fountian: Fountain in Town
Flowing Tree: Flowering tree in the Forest
Clothes: Tyler's shop window
There are more items you can be asked for, if you're asked to picture something that isn't on this list, let me know and I shall add it.
Animal Feed

you need some 'Super Feed'. To make it for you he will ask for these items:
Flower: Buy any flower from Ashley at the flower store
Fish: Catch any fish, but give it to Foster instead of Joseph
After a brief moment, he will complete the 'Super Feed', this can be fed to any animal once.

their mood and fill the happy meter before the time runs out.
