First you need to find the four clues on the incubation room and give all these things to Buster. Start to hand over the magnifying glass on the drawers on your right, and then follow the rock on the floor and the torn cloth on the window on your left. Get the key that was inserted on the door and use this to unlock the huge green cabinet on your left. Then get the violet cog inside and put it on top of the same cog on the thing where the rope is place to lower the chicken incubator which you need to pull down too. Then you need to turn off the light and get the blue twig place on the right side light bulb.  After you gave them to Buster, a message will be prompted on your screen that “You have found all the clues”, now let us proceed on your next location.

Your next adventure will take place on a jungle called Wobbly woods. You will appear near a pond, there is a tree with yellow berries which you need to take. Next step is to walk forward and pick up the book near the bucket along the way and the blue berries after. And then when you continue to move forward you’ll see an old tree which you can talk with, you need to bring it fresh water. So go back to the bucket and put the book in there to give the owl another book to read. Then put the combinations of berries on the tree stump to feed shrewman hiding on the tree hole, it will pull up the rope for the bucket so that the owl can take the book. After you’ve done that, you can now take the bucket and go back to the pond to get some water, Return to the tree and give the water.  It will thank you afterwards and you’ll be on the next place, a creepy forest.

On the tree house, you need to click on the skull near a door. You need to play a puzzle to have the key. The game is so simple, you just need to slide the bugs and slide the key at the opening but needs to be accomplished before you run out of time,  if not you’ll need to repeat the puzzle. When you are done with the game, you can now use the key to get through the door.

When you get inside, you will notice that the missing egg is inside a cage. You need to make a shrinking potion to get the moshling egg out. You have the recipe book on the book stand for reference but you just need to collect these items and follow these procedures. Click on the kettle to remove it from the stove and replace it with the cauldron. Put the fire wood which is just near the stove and get the candle to start a fire. Now start putting the secret ingredients, the blue berries you picked earlier, ink feather on the book stand and the moldy mushroom near the door. Next click on the bat to have some bat droppings that you need to add on your potion as well and last is the green troll snot. And then you need to fill the empty bottle with the potion and put it on the moshling egg. It will shrink and you are now able to rescue the lost moshling egg.

Go back to Buster and place the moshling egg into the incubator. It will hatch and now you have Lady Goo Goo. Congratulations!!!

Castle Ponts

The real value of royal buildings lies in castle points. The overall wealth and prestige of your kingdom is derived from your score in castle points, it is a measurement of your kingdoms power and the only way to increase it is by constructing (and occupying) royal buildings.

The exploration system is at the heart of why castle points are one of your main concerns. There is an expanse of gloomed-out tiles surrounding your functioning kingdom that you cannot venture into, certain requirements must be met first, one of which is always a certain amount of castle points- the more royal buildings you have completed, the more land you have to work with and tame.

Here is a list of royal buildings and the different amounts of castle points that they yield (as well as what level they are unlocked):

• Maiden’s Tower – 80 CL (start)
• Barracks – 110 CL (level 3)
• Vault – 150 CL (level 6)
• Throne Room – 190 CL (level 9)
• Library – 220 CL (level 12)
• Castle Dungeon – 260 CL (level 15)
• Wizard’s Keep – 300 CL (level 18)
• Opera House – 340 CL (level 21)
• The Cathedral – 390 CL (level 24)
• Observatory – 450 CL (level 27)

Constructing the Buildings

The costs involved in constructing royal buildings may seem steep at first, but you’ll soon find out that they are a safe investment. Most royal buildings will pay back their cost in gold within a few days if you collect taxes diligently, and their value as kingdom expanding units is priceless. Nonetheless, getting them built and operational in the first place can be quite the task.

Building the Barracks in CastleVille.

As you level up and progress through the game, new royal buildings worth more castle points will become available to you. Be sure to stock up on the standard building supplies like wood logs and stone. Keep your crafting buildings as busy as possible, if you find that too many of them are idle then use them to refine raw materials so that you have them on hand when you need to start building.

The biggest hurdle for most players is occupying these royal buildings. After building them completely, they will award you no castle points or taxes if you do not staff them appropriately. Note that you cannot use the various quest giving NPCs throughout your kingdom for this- your only options are other players or the duke. If you find yourself shorthanded, you can recruit the duke to fill a space in a royal building for 6 crowns. Using the duke isn’t recommended because it’s a waste of crowns- the spirit of a social network game like this is to play with friends, so it is designed purposely to make it difficult to advance alone. If you don’t have any friends who play, look around the internet for communities of CastleVille players- you are sure to find plenty of people willing to occupy your buildings and visit your kingdom (the benefits of having neighbors are plentiful, it pays off well to play with others).

Decorations

Another way to increase your castle level is to use certain decoration items such as brick walls. These yield a small amount of castle level which can be helpful, but considering the amount of space they take up compared to royal buildings, it isn’t worth it unless you need just a little boost to reach your next goal.

There are many factors that go into exploring and expanding, and if you want to make the most out of your kingdom you’ll have to stay on top of them. A good explorer thinks two steps ahead, un-glooming one space means access to others so try to progress as efficiently as possible, heading towards tiles that yield the most rewards. You’ll also have to take into account the requirements for un-glooming certain tiles and if it’s worth the resources to go there. No tile of land will be available for free, you’ll need to have enough castle level and any other items needed to un-gloom it.

Castle Level

One of the main requirements across the board for almost every gloomed tile available is a minimum castle level. Your castle level will increase naturally as you progress through the game and construct new buildings and structures, but gloom tiles can have heavy requirements that require you to sink a lot of time and money into your castle level in order to advance. Sometimes it’s worth it to make that extra push to venture in a certain tile, but in most cases it’s best to spend your energy tending the land you already have until you gradually accumulate enough castle level through questing to meet your goal.

So how do you raise your castle level? The main method is by constructing royal buildings, which have their own tab on the market screen. These are some of the most costly structures to build (with good reason), but their price in gold isn’t the only expense. As with all buildings, you’ll need to gather the needed resources (usually wood and stone) before you can actually construct it, but even then you aren’t finished when you’re dealing with royal buildings. You also have to man the building, or occupy it with a certain number of neighbors. The best way to do this is to play with a group of friends and occupy each other’s royal buildings as needed. Alternately, you can pay crowns to have the Duke occupy a position instead, but it’s unwise to waste crowns when there are easier solutions for free.

Exploration Crystals

Many gloomed areas require that you have exploration crystals to clear them out. These can be crafted using three Crystal Shards, which can be obtained by killing enemies. You can also gain crystal shards by helping out your friends with their kingdoms, simply visit them often and tend to their various chores. When they sign on and see that you helped them out, they are given the option to share a crystal shard with you for your efforts.

Picking Spaces

Exploration crystals aren’t the only items that you’ll expend when un-glooming new areas, you may also need to pay a good chunk of gold. Considering their cost, you’ll need to make sure you make sensible decisions when picking spaces to un-gloom. Take note of natural resources like boulders, trees, and fishing spots and compare them to your current needs. Some spaces can only be un-gloomed by completing specific quests (mostly the ones that involve meeting new characters).

If a space only requires castle level or minimal cost besides castle level to advance, try to clear these out first if you’re simply looking for some breathing room for your kingdom- you don’t have to worry about expending your castle points, they stick around.

One of the most in-depth features of many Zynga games is the crafting system, and it has made a return in CastleVille. As you expand your realm and explore the medieval fantasy countryside, you will come across tons of items, resources, and goodies. You can combine these using special buildings and recipes into brand new items that help you progress through the game.

Anyone familiar with RPGs and online games in general is probably already familiar with how this works, but social games often have an added dimension to crafting. Because actions cost precious energy, every single choice counts and an understanding of the crafting system is necessary if you want every play session to count. You need to be familiar with the items are the most valuable to craft and which components they need, so keep that in mind as you expend energy.

Crafting Buildings

In order to start crafting, you’ll need a special type of building known as a crafting building. There are many of these in the game that allow you to craft all types of objects, but it’s most important that beginners get a firm grasp on the first two.

The first building becomes available to you at level 2 and it costs 2000 coins- the workshop. After using 12 wood logs and 5 stones to construct it, you can access the workshop’s crafting menu by clicking on the building. Keep in mind that you can only have 3 of these buildings at once- try to make the most out of them and have a recipe preparing as often as possible. Recipes can take a long time to execute, usually a matter of hours, so having multiple buildings crafting things at once is a good idea.

The workshop focuses on construction, buildings, and materials. This is where you will be refining the raw resources you come across as you tame the wild- turning wood logs into plants, boulders into slabs of smooth stone. These refined items are necessary for building more advanced structures as they become available, so having a few items like this being concocted never hurts.
The other building you need for crafting is the kitchen. It becomes available at level 5 and costs 5000 gold coins to buy. You can construct it with 10 wood planks and 2 gold bricks (build up to this using a couple workshops). Try to build it and get it running as soon as possible, the recipes in the kitchen are some of the most important for extending your play sessions and keeping your kingdom efficient.

Priority Beginner Items

When you are first starting out and presented with the large amount of options for crafting recipes and new objects to make, it might be difficult to stick to the best ones. Here are some of the most important recipes to keep in mind as you play, try to gather their ingredients as you perform other tasks.

Food and energy items

Once you have a kitchen set up, it will be one of the most important buildings you have. Food in Castleville translates to energy, which is the most precious resource in the game. If you focus on gathering the right ingredients and crafting meals, you’ll be able to greatly extend your play sessions and get more done than before.

Look through all the recipes that your kitchen offers and take note of the activities you need to focus on to gather the right components. You’ll need to spend some time feeding animals, farming, fishing, and tending various flora and fauna to get all the right stuff. As always try to ‘sync’ your activities with your current crafting goals- if a quest wants you to gather certain items or do certain tasks, try to pick the ones that can get you relevant cooking components.

Building components

It’s easy to fool yourself into thinking that you have enough resources and materials when you really don’t. It may seem like you spent a while chopping wood and mining, but your bounty ends up considerably smaller after refining the raw resources at the workshop. This refining process can sometimes take hours for just a single item, so it’s best to think a few steps ahead and keep all your crafting buildings busy. For beginners, try to have some wood planks and gold bars ready for when you want to build a kitchen. Keep some refined stones on hand as well for royal buildings and castle extensions.

The goal of the game is to build your kingdom, amass wealth and resources, and follow a storyline as you complete quests. We will be walking through the first set of quests together as we get acquainted with some of the basic mechanics and features of the game.

The Basics

Let’s get ourselves situated with the controls first so we can move around with ease. To move anywhere in the kingdom, simply click the ground where you want to go. To pan the screen around, click and hold the mouse while dragging.
Also, you should at least have a general idea of how energy works before you start playing. Energy is expended by every action you do, and once you are out of it, you’ll need to wait a long time for it to replenish before you can continue playing. You can use items to give you a boost, but they are hard to obtain for beginners so try to be conservative with your actions at first.
One last thing before we start questing: I should mention that one of the best things you can do to progress through the game smoothly is to play with some Facebook friends and share rewards with each other. You’ll often need extra hands to make things happen without grinding, so if you are a player who doesn’t like to wait or do repetitive tasks, make sure you find some friends to play with.
Now log in to the game, customize your avatar, and let’s start playing.

Beginner Quests

The Duke is in trouble and needs you to fend off a few enemies, the first encounter begins.

Defeating them is easy, simply click them and your character will attack. Defeating enemies and performing actions reaps rewards such as gold and items, and collecting them is as simple as scrolling your cursor over them.

Once the beasties are gone, the Duke will tell you that he presides over the neighboring kingdom and that you can travel there anytime you want by clicking his portrait on the bottom of the screen. This is the same way that visiting kingdoms works for your friends as well.

Keep in mind that you can gain loyalty hearts by helping out your neighbors, so be sure to make your daily rounds around other kingdoms to reap the benefits.

Yvette is now a guest in your kingdom and needs you to build a house for her.

This quest introduces you to building structures, this is how you will be expanding and improving your kingdom. Keep in mind that you can clear out any rocks, trees, foliage, and other items in your way as you progress, but doing so will expend energy.
Buildings require that you gather enough materials for them, so don’t assume that having enough gold to buy a structure means you’ll have access to it right away. Chop a couple trees and mine a few rocks to get the required materials to build the house, it’s as simple as clicking on them.

Next, we will learn about taxing your kingdom. Occupied buildings are taxable, meaning that they award you a certain amount of gold once a certain time limit resets. In Yvette’s case, you can gain 300 coins every half hour if you remember to click her house. Once you start building more structures occupied by your subjects, you’ll be making rounds around your kingdom to collect taxes regularly.

Now it’s time to learn about raising your castle level and exploring the gloomed areas around you. The Duke will give you a quest to raise your castle level to 10 so you can uncover a certain gloomed area.

Revealing these darkened areas is how you expand your kingdoms territory and gain access to new characters, resources, and other goodies. Each gloomed segment as a different requirement for revealing it, and they often include a castle level requirement. You can raise your castle level by enhancing your castle with certain structures, one of which is rubble walls. You just need to build a few rubble walls anywhere you want until your castle level reaches 10, and then you can explore the new area.

Once you explore the gloomed area, you will find another subject, Rafael. You will need to build him a house as well, which will of course be taxable.

That about covers the basics of CastleVille, keep completing quests and advancing through the story to unlock new features, level up, and expand your kingdom. We’ve only just scratched the surface, there is a whole lot more complexity to the game than is presented in this first string of quests, so be sure to read up on the finer points lest you find yourself running an inefficient kingdom.

Obtaining Quests

You’ll get quests from the different characters in the game. The first few quests come from the Duke and from Yvette. The way to know when a quest is available is to look for a question mark icon floating above a character. When you see that, they have a new quest to give you, so click on them to learn more. Once you accept it, you’ll then see an icon appear on the left side of your screen. While you’re performing the various tasks, you’ll always be able to click on that icon to remind yourself of what you need to do and to check in on your progress.

Quest Tasks and Basics

Each quest usually has a series of tasks you need to perform. These are spelled out on the quest screen, which you get when you first accept it or whenever you check your progress by clicking on the appropriate icon on the left side of your screen. When you finish each task, you’ll see a green check mark next to it. When you complete all the tasks, the quest is done and you’ll receive the rewards for the quest. Usually, these are coins and XP.

Some quests are part of a series, also known as a quest chain. In this case, you must complete each quest in the series before receiving the next one. These chains are usually used in the game to reveal part of the storyline and to get to know the backgrounds of the different characters.

Reward: 500 coins, 4 XP.

Sticks and Stones

• Gather 5 Wood Logs by chopping Trees.

After you have purchased and placed them, click on them to give them some food. The next task is to purchase a Large Trough. This is also bought via the Market, but CastleVille introduces a new twist. Some items are bought with Reputation Hearts rather than coins or crowns. The Large Trough is one of them. You can spend the 5 Reputation Hearts you just earned from helping the Duke in the previous quest to buy and place the trough anywhere you like within your kingdom.

Rewards: 500 coins, 4 XP and 1 Animal Treats

Farming will be familiar to everyone who has played a Zynga game on Facebook.

Each crop type has a different harvest time and a different payout. For example, grapes are the fastest-growing crop wth a 5 minute harvest time and a 50 coin and 1 XP payout. In an interesting twist, strawberries are the longest harvest crop in the game (a big change from FarmVille and CityVille). Strawberries require 36 hours to harvest and provide a payout of 1,000 coins and 1 XP.

You’ll want to select your crops based on your playing style and your level. In the earlier stages of the game, you’ll be limited to crops like grapes, flax and carrots which are all harvested in an hour or less. Later on, you’ll want to plant crops based on how often you play the game. For example, if you login in frequently, go for carrots, which you can harvest every hour for 50 coins per plot. If you only play once per day, then plant wheat, which harvests every 24 hours for 100 coins per plot.

Choose from a selection of crops in CastleVille. Each crop has its own harvest time, cost, and rate of return per harvest.

A major change to farming in CastleVille is the concept of irrigation. Essentially, when you place a plot near a source of water, such as a pond or river, the plot will produce crops 5% faster than normal. In the early stages of the game, this isn’t a big difference, but later on it can mean a lot. For example, a crop that normally takes 36 hours to harvest will now be available nearly 2 hours earlier. It may not seem like a lot at first, but it can really add up. You start the game with a single pond, but can add more water to your kingdom by purchasing ponds, river squares, and moats at the Market.

Not sure which crops to plant? Refer to this handy table of crops available in CastleVille.

If you want to add water elements to your kingdom, you can purchase the following at the Market:

• River (100 coins)
• Moat (2 crowns)
• Pond (8 crowns)

The Maiden's Tower in CastleVille under construction.

One of the first Royal Buildings that you’ll construct is the Maiden’s Tower, which is the objective of one of the early quests in the game. It requires 1,500 coins to build, and provides 80 Castle Points. You’ll also be able to collect 550 coins in tax payout from the building. Once you assemble the Maiden’s Tower, you’ll need to recruit three of your friends to staff it before it becomes operational.

As you advance in levels in CastleVille, there are many more Royal Buildings that you can construct. Here is a brief overview of some of the buildings you’ll be able to add to your kingdom as you progress through the game.

There are also some decorations that you can use in your kingdom to grow your Castle Points. Although they don’t provide as many as the Royal Buildings, they can be useful for growing your total Castle Points and they serve to make your kingdom look nice at the same time.

Being successful in the game and providing your Sim with the means to progress through the levels efficiently requires that you have an understanding of how to craft items and which ones you should be focusing on more than others. If you make the wrong choices with crafting, the result is either more Simcash required to keep playing or more waiting time for your Energy to fill up. Either way, you’ll wish you budgeted your time and resources better.

So let’s start with the basics.

The ‘Craft’ button will take you to the Crafting menu and display the contents of your Backpack.

How the Crafting System Works

If you’ve played Facebook games or any type of role-playing games before, you’ll be familiar with the fundamentals of how crafting works. It’s simple- you use raw materials to fulfill the needs of a recipe, you then execute that recipe and expend the items needed for it, and the result is an entirely new item that is theoretically the sum of its parts.

Essentially: Item A + Item B = Item C.

The crafting screen in Sims Social is pretty easy to navigate.

The tricky part is managing which items are most important to craft, because the materials required for producing them often overlap with other craft-able items. Because of this, you need to have a sense of priority and gauge how best to use the items you’ve collected.

The added element of spending your play time gathering these specific items is another layer of depth to consider- often the items you craft are essential to continuing your current play session so it’s urgent that you are efficient with how you spend your Energy and rewards. Keep in mind that the items you need drop randomly as you perform the actions they require, so a bad streak of luck can deplete your Energy while yielding little to no rewards.

It all comes together once you get a good rhythm in place- a cycle of gaining certain rewards, spending/converting them, and then using this progress to help you gain more rewards, rinse and repeat.

Priority Items

You need to be able to discern which items you should be crafting at any given time- wasting your resources on frivolous items will dwarf your play time and efficiency if your Sim has more pressing needs.

Here are a few of the most important items you should keep in mind while collecting crafting resources. Remember that there is often overlap in the recipes requirements so you will often have to choose between one crafted item and another.

+5 Energy

One of the main goals of crafting is to provide another source of energy for your Sim to keep performing actions, and this is one of the items to do just that. The resource requirement seems a bit steep, but this won’t be your only source of Energy- just keep these resources in mind and try to save them as much as possible.

Goodwills are pretty easy to get, just do nice things for your neighbors and perform friendly social interactions with them. This should come naturally as you progress through the game. Loves are a result of romantic social interactions, so form a relationship with another Sim and keep using ‘flirty’ actions. Buzzes are acquired through fun social interactions, things like dancing with other Sims and watching TV with them can get you these. All in all, these +5 Energy coffee cups are mainly a product of social interactions, so try to perform each of these actions in a single social session to be more efficient.

Cleaning collection

If your Sim doesn’t have the ‘Sloppy’ trait, you will have to do some cleaning around the house to keep everything functional and your Sim happy. Cleaning will inevitably drop the items needed to complete this collection in the Crafting menu, why not cash in on it and get some Energy in the process? If you can scrounge up 4 Cloths, Rubber Gloves, and Dusters, you’ll be rewarded with 150 Simoleons and +3 Energy. The Repair Collection is also a good choice if you don’t have any other pressing needs for the Wrenches.

Items to Avoid

There are plenty of craft-able items available that are simply a waste of your time and resources, and it’s best to avoid them in most cases. Always read what the reward is for using this item and compare the requirements to other items- would these resources be best spent elsewhere? Are the rewards for this item attainable in more efficient ways?

Inspired Potion

The requirements for this item are way too steep compared to the reward. Muses are needed throughout the game for quests and advancing your skills, so using them on this potion would be a waste. Loves and Goodwills are required for +5 Energy items, which are far more useful than instant inspiration. Remember, you can become inspired for next to nothing simply by fulfilling your Sims needs- the only one of which requires Energy expenditure is Social, but wouldn’t you rather reap the rewards of social interaction than spend those rewards on the same outcome?

"Boosters"

Avoid the types of items that boost your Sim in areas that you can maintain for free. For example, why spend the resources on this Fun Potion when you can simply have your Sim watch some TV instead and get the same result? Here are the other items in the category that it would be best to stay away from:

• Magic Soap
• Good Night’s Sleep
• Insta-Snack

The Bad Mood Potion is iffy, it may be good to have one around in case a situation arises where you need to have a bad mood for a quest or to perform a certain action- but this won’t be a common scenario so having just one on hand should be sufficient.

Keep an eye out for changes

Because Sims Social is an online game with constant support and updates, new items and features are always being added. Keep an eye out for new items available for crafting- there may be new permanent additions or some time-sensitive promotional items. These usually have some good qualities and are worth crafting, so check in often to see what the Sims Social team has added.

• Sims Social Beginner’s Guide
• Sims Social Review
]]> One of the most important areas to manage in the Sims Social Facebook game is your Sims Energy. Energy is a new concept to the Sims series and your Sim requires it for most actions and interactions. There are lots of Sims Social Energy cheats and tips for keeping it as full as possible while you play the game. Energy is replenished slowly over time, but not nearly fast enough to keep up with an active player. Your main source of Energy while playing will be in-game items that restore your Energy bar. You can obtain these in several different ways, mainly by completing quests, crafting, and sharing with friends.

While Energy is ultimately a limiting factor on the efficiency of your Sim and how much actual playing you can get done in a session, it’s an interesting challenge to overcome as a player and after a while you will get into a steady rhythm of expending and regaining Energy. Some players simply throw Simcash at the problem (real money), but this isn’t necessary for a player who manages their time and resources wisely.



The dreaded 'out of energy' screen. If you don't get more soon you Sim won't be able to do much.

Choosing Your Actions Wisely

The foundation for managing Energy efficiently in Sims Social is to use your Energy on only the most useful and valuable actions for your Sim. This depends on your Skills, Traits, and the Quests that you’re working on. If you squander your Energy on ‘fluff’ actions that reap little or no rewards for your Sim, you will quickly find yourself out of Energy without the means to restore it. On the other hand, if you use your Energy to get as much rewards and advancement as possible, you will have an easier time refilling your Energy bar and doing more tasks.



The slow Energy regeneration rate won't accomodate extended play sessions. You'll need to restore that Energy yourself.

For example, let’s say my character specializes in Writing, his skill has been leveled up the most out of all of his skills and he can get the most Simoleons if he writes. However, a current quest wants him to go and interact with a neighbor to complete it. Which action should I spend my Energy on?

I would head over to a neighbor and spend my Energy interacting with them instead of furthering my Writing skill for now. Why? Well, conversation and quest completion yield plenty of rewards and some much-needed items for crafting Energy items that Writing does not. Be conscious of the items in your backpack and storage and keep in mind what else you need to make some more Energy restoration items, use your Energy on actions that have a chance of getting those for you.

Using Friends for Energy

Now that the Sims has entered the social network gaming arena, collaborating with friends and playing cooperatively is more important than ever. The game is designed to greatly reward players who play as a group and ‘share’ rewards with each other whenever they receive them. This can exponentially increase your Sims income and efficiency and allow you to progress much faster in the game (as well as keep you from spending precious Simcash). Can cooperating with friends help you increase your Energy too?

Absolutely! Playing with friends can help you boost your Energy in several ways. The most direct way is by sharing +1 Energy candy bars or with each other, which you can commonly do for completing quests, leveling up, using your skills, and helping your neighbors. You can also gain and share +3 Energy coffee cups by helping your neighbors and completing quests. As long as your group is active and sharing with each other, you should be stocking up on Energy items regularly.



Sharing with friends is a great way to fill your backpack with valuable items and crafting materials.

Of course, the more indirect benefit of friends on your Energy is via the resources they provide you- the items that you gain from playing as a group can aid you in crafting Energy items to keep your character going. Speaking of crafting, let’s talk about how to create Energy replenishing items from the stuff in your backpack.

Crafting Energy Items

A savvy and resourceful Sims Social player will minimize the amount of Simcash needed to keep playing by utilizing the crafting system. If you haven’t used it before, crafting essentially allows you to turn a few items in your backpack into a different item that you can use. This allows you to craft a whole slew of different things, but for now we are mainly concerned with Energy rejuvenation items. Take a look at this entry on the crafting screen:



The +5 Energy coffee mug is available for crafting.

Here we can see the item in question- a coffee mug. See those three slots on the right? Those mean that you need 8 Goodwills, 7 Loves, and 3 Buzzes to craft a single +5 Energy coffee cup. This seems a bit steep to beginners, but if you’re utilizing friends and completing quests regularly, once your Sim is a high level you can craft these often enough to keep you playing almost indefinitely.

Is that All for Energy?

The only other immediate way to regain your energy is by spending Simcash, which means spending your own money to keep on playing. This may be worth it to some players, but others strive to play the game without spending a single penny. This is certainly possible, but it cannot be stressed enough that this style of play practically requires the use of friends and neighbors unless you are content with only playing for a short while each day until your Energy is exhausted.

Remember to be conscious of the ways you spend your Energy and what that expenditure gains for you, do actions that benefit you the most and always strive to obtain the items you need to craft more Energy items.

• Sims Social Review
]]> The Sims Social is one of the most fascinating games on Facebook. It is a simulation of real world life, where you have to keep relationships, manage your house and tackle other real life chores! This game gained most popularity because it served as a way out for people to express their feelings and try to tackle things that they find intimidating in real world. So, what do you need to excel in Sims Social? There are several things that I can name, as an answer to this question. However, simoleans are one of the most important things you would need in Sims Social. The big question is what are the best ways to earn more simoleans, every hour!

What are Simoleans?

Simoleans carry great importance because they are the virtual currency of your virtual world in the Sims Social. You want to buy that elegant dress for you Sim? Do you want to refurnish your house at Sims Social? Do you want to buy a new accessory? For all these pleasurable things, you need to spend simoleans. This is the money in Sims Social and you would be using it throughout your game.

How to Get More Simoleans

Well, earning simoleans in bulk is not an easy thing. However, there are few clever tricks that I knew and I am going to reveal them in this article now! So, all of you can enjoy Sims Social more everyday! Obviously, earning more simoleans will add more color and variety to your virtual world and you’ll have more fun with your Sim! So, lets go through the strategies to grab more simoleans!

One of the evident ways to get hold of maximum simoleans is by purchasing them with your real money. However, I am not recommending this option, because if you would spend all your real money on your virtual world, you would be left with little savings in the real world. Definitely, not a nice picture! However, if you have millions to spend, you can have all the fun in Sims Social and you can surely, purchase as many simoleans, as you desire.

For those who can’t afford to buy simoleans or don’t desire spending real life money on virtual games, there are other options to earn simoleans. By performing actions on your skill items you can earn a lot of simoleans, such as writing on computer or composing music or painting or typing etc. You will earn more simoleans for performing actions on newly purchased items.



There are many different tasks you can do in the game that earn Simoleons.

Simoleans can also be earned by performing actions within your house on general things, such repairing broken things, taking pictures or cutting grass etc. In short, anything that would cost you some energy, would also award you few simoleans.

Harvesting enables you to earn a great number of simoleans. You can also get bonus for harvesting the crops on time. So, always stay busy in planting and harvesting some crops. Moreover, completing your missions or tasks would also award you simoleans. Harvesting crops and completion of mission are two most achievable targets!

Additionally, you should also stay regular in sending few simoleans to your friends because they would also reciprocate and send you few back. Imagine you have 30+ friends! You would be able to receive maximum gifts of simoleans, only if you share the “simoleans” with your friends. So, do that sometimes!

One of the most useful tricks for earning simoleans is to perform your money earning tasks, when your Sim is inspired! Each task earns a small bonus when done while in inspired mode. Earn simoleans and enjoy a Happy Sims Social Life!

Its an amazing feeling when you redecorate the virtual house of your Sim and feel experiment with your interior designing skills!

Why Should You Customize Your House in the Sims Social?

Why do you customize your house in real world? Obviously, to feel more comfortable in your house! In my opinion, customizing your living place, transforms a house into a home! So, your aim in Sims Social is to make your Sim feel comfortable and giving your Sim a nice home would be the best thing in Sims Social’s virtual life. It would help maintaining the inspiration level of your Sim and would earn you points and experience in the game.

However, there are several things that I am going to share with you in this article about customizing or building your house.

How to Increase Your Home Value

The overall value of any home in Sims Social tells you the full worth of that home. You can increase the value of your house by simple expanding your house. How would you expand the house? Its simple, you would have to purchase more space and the home-size would increase automatically. Once, the size of house increases, its value also rises. You can now get hold of the best designer pad available!



You can buy lots of different furniture for your house in the game.

How to Build Rooms

Go to the shop mode in the game and tap on the build tab, then, pick the room-type you desire to add to your Sim’s house. You can, then, place that room on some free land (that you own). If you decide to cancel the purchase, you can check the bottom of that section and choose the ‘cancel-purchase’ option. You may seek assistance from your friends in building the room. Always be careful to construct the doorway! Sometimes, you may think that you have lost your purchased room, but check the storage section before you start panicking.

You can easily rotate and move objects to have a better view of them and adjust them more appropriately in your virtual home. You should also tend your garden area and free your lawn from weeds by clicking on them. From the shop in Sims Social, you can purchase especial items to decorate your virtual-house.

]]> Sims Social is one of the most popular games on Facebook these days! Its popularity is primarily because of the real world feel that the players get while being in this game. In Sims Social you can pick several traits and skills for your Sim, or character in the game. These traits allow you to define your character and earn simoleons (the primary currency in the game).

Traits in Sims Social

As a general rule, you can choose almost six traits for your Sim. However, if you want to buy a trait, you need to spend lifetime points (that you can earn by mastering several skills). There are several traits in Sims Social that you may choose for your Sim; one of those traits is ‘slob’. This trait type remains generally unconcerned about the hygiene and can survive in filth and mess. However, other Sims may not admire a ‘slob’ trait. There are four levels for almost every Sim. Getting to the highest level, obviously, earns you more experience in the game and more points.

There are around nine traits, which your Sim can master in this game. Apart from the slob-trait, you can pick ‘steel bladder’ (enables your Sim to use the toilet less), ‘neat’ (Sims that posses this trait, stay neat and tidy at all times), ‘super mechanic’ (through this trait, your Sim may repair things speedily), ‘insane’ (Sims with this trait have less need to socialize), ‘Ogre’ (Sims with this trait type make more enemies, however, they do not require energy to clean things), ‘ninja’ (Sims with this trait walks briskly, as compared to others. They can also teleport or run!), ‘great kisser’ (Sims with this trait have the tendency to improve their love relationships) and ‘night owl’ (Sims with this trait require less sleep time). One thing is worth mentioning here; you must master all the traits, if you desire to extract maximum benefit out of them!



Skills in Sims Social

Just like the variety in traits, there are several skills in Sims Social that your Sim ought to perform in order to earn you points in the game. Skills function as a profession for your Sim. You may choose to be a musician, a chef, an artist or a writer. Once you decide the skill type for your Sim, you must also get hold of the required item for that skill. Remember, without having the associated item, your Sim will not be able to raise the skill points.

For the writing skill, you need to have a computer for your Sim while for the painting skill, you Sim require an easel. If you want to see your Sim as a chef, you should get hold of a microwave and if you want your Sim to be a musician, you must have a guitar. All you need to do is to click the associated item and then pick the task required. Choosing the relevant task would lead to an increase in your skill points. You can view the progress of your skills through ‘skill window’. As you level up in skills, new skills open up and you can keep enjoying the virtual life of Sims Social.

Now that you have the basic information about skills and traits in Sims Social, you are well equipped to handle your virtual life!

]]> The Sims Social is the most user-friendly and easy to play game in the entire Sims series, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t some new gameplay features and aspects of the game that new players often have trouble with. The shift from traditional gaming platforms to the social media landscape of Facebook has changed the dynamics of how a game of the Sims is played. Let’s take a look at some of the most important things for new players to know about Sims Social and then complete some of the first quests that you receive in the game.

Energy

One of the biggest differences between Sims Social and the rest of the series is the use of Energy. Your character needs Energy to perform any sort of task that allows them to advance a skill or gain experience, and it can only be replenished by waiting or consuming special Energy restoring items (which can be attained in-game, crafted, or bought with Simcash).






Any actions highlighted in yellow required Energy to perform.

SimCash

Nearly all Facebook games have the option of using real money to make purchases in-game to give your character an edge, and Sims Social is no different. Paid currency comes in the form of SimCash, which is used to buy premium items (the most useful being Energy consumables) and can also be exchanged for the regular currency of Simoleons.



If you plan on playing for extended periods, you may need SimCash to give your character Energy.

Leveling Up and Traits

As you gain more experience by using skills, interacting with other Sims, and completing quests, you’ll always be getting closer to leveling up. This may give you some money, an item, or unlock some items in the store. Leveling up your character opens up tons of new opportunities for them and makes it easier to expand and furnish your house with cooler stuff.



You can maximize the rewards of Leveling by sharing them with a group of friends and vice-versa.

In addition to Experience Points, you will also gain Lifetime Points. These can be used to purchase Traits, which can be accessed using the button on top of your Sims portrait. Traits are powerful advantages that your Sim has that can be extremely helpful in certain situations, spend your Lifetime Points wisely and try to strategize to fit your Sims behaviors.



Pick traits that will be especially useful for your type of Sim.

The First Quests: Getting Started

The very first thing you’ll need to do after creating your character is to unload the boxes in your home. This is simple, just click on them and select the unpack option and your Sim will soon have some basic necessities for their home (a guitar, a computer, and a microwave).



Clicking any interactable object in the game will give you a series of actions to choose from.

As you unpack, your Sim will become urgently hungry as represented by the red blinking icon on the screen. You learn that keeping your Sim happy by maintaining all of the factors represented by these green icons (yellow/red when declined) gives you the priceless bonus of becoming ‘inspired’. If you click on the icons as they turn yellow and red, your Sim will automatically perform whatever action is needed to get them back up to green (in some cases they will simply tell you what you need to do).



An inspired Sim earns more Simoleons while working and/or training skills.

Now it’s time for your first encounter with Skills. One of your boxes contains a guitar, and you will be instructed to compose with it. This queues a task the same way pressing a button highlighted in yellow would- Energy will be spent and you will gain proficiency in that Skill as well as Simoleons and Experience Points.



This is how training all of your skills will work, everything from writing to cooking.

After playing a quick tune, you will be invited to go and visit Bella. Click on her icon to teleport to her house instantly (you can do this whenever you want, head over if your Sim urgently needs to socialize). Click on her and use the Greet action and you will become Acquaintances with Bella. If you talk to her enough, you’ll become Friends (you can even try flirting with her later). After your interactions with Bella, you’ll be rewarded with your first Social Points which can be used in the Shop. Talking and being sociable with other Sims earns you more Social Points.



When you add Neighbors later on, you can click their portraits just like this to visit them.

Quest: Finish Unpacking

Once you get back home you’ll receive a quest that you can accept by clicking on the head on the left side of the screen. This is how you will be getting quests from now on, so keep an eye out. Completing quests can earn you some great rewards and it progresses the story in-game. This particular quests requires that you simply unpack the remaining boxes.



Quests will always give you a checklist that outlines exactly what you have to do.

Quest: Start Earning Simoleons

It’s time to start using your Skills to earn you money and experience, this next quest requires that you compose a song with your guitar (this completes one Skill Tier, keep completing Tiers to get more rewards). Click your guitar and hit the Compose option and you will be taken to the Music Skill screen. Hit the Compose button until the bar is filled up- notice that the Compose action is being queued up on the upper left. You can click actions that are queued up at any time to cancel them.



Completing tiers and leveling your skills earns you great rewards and helps you Level Up faster.

Quest: Buy a New Outfit

Your friend wants you to buy a piece of clothing from the shop for this quest. Click the Shop icon on the bottom right side of the screen and buy any clothing item for your character and the quest will be complete. Take note that this is the screen you can use to change your clothes, hairstyle, facial features, and even your sex.



Use your Simoleons, Simcash, and Social Points to buy stuff at the store.

What’s next?

Once you’ve completed all of these quests, you should have your general bearings on how to play Sims Social and progress through the game. It’s sometimes easy to get disoriented with the freeform nature of Sims games, but veterans of the series should have no problem with this one’s simplified interface and gameplay. Keep on training you skills and completing quests to advance the story, once you have enough Simoleons you can start expanding your house and improving your yard. It would be wise to learn more about Crafting so you can make your own items.

One final tip: you can make this game a lot easier and more bountiful by playing it with a group of friends. If you all share rewards with each other (which doesn’t take anything from you), everyone will be receiving bonus items and money all the time. You can use everything you can get, you tend to burn through Energy quite fast and having a group of friends can make it easier to find ways to replenish it.

Here is a quick beginner’s guide when starting to play Mall World.

Be Creative and Decorate your Store

At the beginning of the game you have initial money to spend in getting necessary stuffs to start your store. Such shelves, racks and display are the ones needed to get to your store first. The other items like registers, rugs, counters and decorative materials can be bought later when you earn enough money. Shelves, like steel bar have limited capacities to display to your store.

Unlock Designer Collections

Selling items from the catalog is the most easiest and basic way to earn mall dollars. At the first few levels there is only one collection that you can offer in your boutique. You can earn buy getting a profit from the catalog. With this you can invest to unlock more collection that will give you wider range of items to sell in your store and earn more, buy choosing items that you can get more profit. There is another way in unlocking designer collections this is buy spending 200 to 2,000 mall dollars, but it’s a worthwhile though if you want to unlock the collection, because the more expensive items are is the higher the profit margins.

What to Buy from the Catalog



There is a regular tab at the left side of the screen which you can see in the image these are inexpensive collections which you can get to start off playing. You may notice that each level will have about 1-2 locked collections. Once unlocked, items are available for you to purchase and sell it your boutique.

TIP: buy shoes and bags since they have higher price and you can get higher profit margin.

Squeaky Clean Bonus

There is an added feature in this game where shoppers tend to drop items and makes their store unprofessional so they will need your help. You will notice a different sign when they need help in squeaky clean. You will be rewarded $20 in helping them. You can also clean your own store. The more neighbors you have, the more chances you have of getting the squeaky clean bonus.

 

Dressing Room Mini Game

There is also another feature in this game where you will be able to earn money and gain experience points. You can spend few minutes in playing this dressing room mini game while you wait for shoppers to come your boutique. In this game you will need to pick the right combination of the fashion to match the item being shown, mostly these are bags. You only have 30 seconds to pick the item you think is right. There is a limit of 5 customers per day so make sure you get high on the meter every time. Because the higher the meter is at, the more coins and experience points you will get. Send and Ask for

Send and Request Gifts

Just like any other facebook games, sending and requesting gifts are part of the social gaming. Here you can get more items into your inventory buy sending and requesting gifts to your neighbors, which are your facebook friends too. There is one catch though. When you send the gifts or if you receive them from friends, you need to “Return the Favor” before it goes into your inventory. That is why when you send gifts to your friends, they will return you the favor and get gifts.

Dress your Neighbor


This is a fascinating way in developing your fashion skills. There’s a lot of choices of beautiful, gorgeous and wonderful dresses, tops, bottoms, skirts, top layers, shoes, boots, swimsuits, intimates, wigs, stockings, bags, accessories and even hair styles, hue, eyes, lips etc. that you can play around.

The Sims Social has been a huge hit for gamers of single-player PC series to adapt it on Facebook by the EA Games. It’s the same gameplay of the known The Sims for PC only with an added of some layers on the top of the screen. You will still be building, decorating, looking out for your sim’s basic needs, interacting with object and also with other sims. This time, other sims or your so-called “neighbors” are your real Facebook friends. In this way, it is much more engaging that it can actually build relationships.

On the previous PC game The Sims, you control the whole family, but on The Sims Social you only control just one character. Just like the other sims, your sim needs to fulfill its need in order to be inspired. “Inspired” is the term used on the “The Sims Social” when your sim is satisfied or happy. Be sure that they eat, they are in proper hygiene, they go to the bathroom, and they sleep.



It's not all fun and games in the Sims Social. For starters, that yard needs some work!

At the beginning of the game, you’ll have to customize your sim. You’ll have to set its name, select its outfits and provide its personality. Personality is important in the customization tool. This will be your basis on how you will let your sim live. These are the personalities available: Tycoon, Geek, Introvert, Rocker, Romantic, Socialite, and Creative.

Tycoons are those who love money more than anything else. These are much likely of people who love business. Geeks on the other hand are some sorts of people who love sci-fi and such. Introverts are more likely to be found in deep thought than in deep conversation. Rockers are those who would like to be singing in the bathroom and jamming all day and night. Romantic are those people who are always involve in relationship and are deep in emotions. Socialites are the people who love to do anything as long as they don’t break their nails. And lastly, creative people are those, of course who love art; they are more likely to be found stitching.

There are two currencies available in The Sims Social: The Gold and Silver Simoleons. Gold Simoleons are like the “cash” on other Facebook games. They are hard to get, you can get them either on leveling up fast or just purchase them using Facebook credits or real money. Silver simoleons, on the other hand are way easier to have. You can silver simoleons just by doing tasks, interacting with objects and also by leveling up.

• Macy – A Sim who helps the player to earn money.
• Bella Goth – A tutorial Sim.
• Dallas – A friend of Bella, she has a cousin in the music industry.
• Buddy – A friendly man of bland disposition.
• Fleur – Gustav Heimlich’s personal assistant.
• Chloe – A woman who enjoys romance.
• Mike – Member of the HiQ Club.
• Barbara Belle – A fitness instructor Sim who can be seen around town.
• Gustav Heimlich – A spiritual counselor who has moved from Europe.

You cannot do tasks when your energy is low or empty. Like other Facebook games, you have an Energy Gauge that depletes by actions. All social and currency earning interaction in The Sims Social will cost you one energy. If your energy is down to 0, you can buy using Gold simoleons or just ask you friends to give you one more energy.

Just like the previous sim game, you can also buy and change your outfits. There are outfit sections that consist of 5 main categories: Casual, Swimwear, Nightwear, Official and Sports clothing. Each of it has Special, Head, Top, Bottom and Shoes items. There are many outfits available to choose from the closet and you can buy them with your money called “simoleons”.

Decorating your house will be another self-expression tool as it represents Sims living on it. House decoration items are also divided on categories: Doors, Windows, Floors and Walls. There are also lots of building materials so you can decorate your house depending on what you like. You can buy decoration and building materials on the “Shop” section found at the bottom right of the screen. You can use your simeloens to buy. You can also enlarge your house and build another room
You can invite you facebook friends to join you playing The Sims Social. You can also build a stronger friendship and forge a relationship with them. But when there are friendships, there are also enemies. Being enemies with certain Sims will enable that following option:

• Kick trashcan.
• Fight Sim.
• Steal food from a Sim’s fridge.
• Slap Sim.
• Nap in other Sim’s bed/sofa

There are lots of other fun and exciting elements to the game and you can spend a lot of time finding all of the secrets and surprises inside the Sims Social. Have fun!

The Smurfs & Co is a resource collecting and village creation game for Facebook, which features the tv characters from “The Smurfs” which then coincides with the newly released of the movie, The Smurfs in 3D, and is also becoming a growing community as more and more people are coming to see the movie. People who are also familiar with the other games on Facebook will be able to easily gasp with the tasks in the game as it is almost identical with the others.Your settlementwill need to make you clear the forest of weeds and rocks that cover your area, then you will need to build some of the facilities through thematerials that are taken from harvesting from the forests and rocks around the settlement or were given by your friends. The goal here is to expand your settlement and make it as attractive it can be so that the TV character Smurfs would come and join in.listed here are some ways to hasten your time in building your own Smurfy Village.

The game Smurfs & Co revolves around the collection of resources, money and happiness just like the other games in its genre and how quickly you can build up your very own settlement. But unlike in the other Facebook games you don’t have to spend too much on your Facebook credits to acquire the energy needed in building your village,while clearing up the forest of weeds, trees, rocks and thorns you are givenSmurfberries, which can also be treated as credits in order to buy more energy from the shop. So don’t close your browser just yet when you have ran out of energy just go to the shop window and buy energy with those Smurfberries that you have collected. But do not use those energy powerups when you are just about to level up, because when you level up you replenish all of your energy so try not to use the powerups as you will be in need of them more in some other time. When you are clearing out weeds make sure that you don’t clear out the part near the river shore which are above the tall grass, you cannot create any facilities on top of those tall grass, instead you would have to build them on those light green areas so your goal should only be those light green ones unless you have expanded well and just time to kill and plenty of energy for harvesting them.

On gaining experience points in The Smurfs & Co., the quickest way to earn them is to build new facilities and completing them, but they do expend a lot of those hard earned resources which limits how many facilities you can be built. And one problem that will arise will be most of your facilities will be left unfinished so the settlement will become full of useless facilities instead of doing that. The best ones to build for quick experience are the tiny Smurf huts they on cost 500 coins to build and they are pretty quick to complete them. And the only materials needed for them to be completed are the “Bundle of Sticks”, and those appear frequently as you are clearing out the forest of weeds and trees. These facilities need only 2 energies to be completed. And if completed these would also help you increase up the overall Smurfs happiness as only the complete facilities or stocked-up facilities increase the happiness of your Smurfy village. Complete stocked up buildings grants you profit too as more facilities are erected and completed the more profit will be earned even if you are not actually in the Smurfs & Co game. And each time you give those facilities their supplies it will earn you more profit every time a smurf in your village comes in them. And with each supply the profits will increase much more. Until the supplies last for each completed facility, even when you are not actively logged in on Facebook these facilities will continue to make you more money and as you build more facilities more smurfs will be joining your settlement as well as increased happiness they also coincide to make your smurfy settlement more profitable.



You can also get a freebie just by liking the Smurfs Movie in Facebook, you will be obtaining the Outdoor Cinema facility for the Smurfs & Co game which will be located in your stash. So access your stash then locate it under workshop, you will be able to place it in your village, without the cost of building it like energy or other necessary materials. These will also grant you free money and happiness for your settlement.One more facility that can be easily built is Hefty’s Gym, even though it might be more expensive and energy consuming than most but it only takes 3 blue gems to complete. These gems are easily obtained through crushing those generic rocks. If built, these facilities can also grant you quite a lot of happiness and profit.
