The Completionist’s Guide to Sims 3 iPhone
I play simulation games in two phases: first, I tackle the often-repetitive mechanics, unlocking every option and building up money so that I can creatively decorate my house or farm or whatever.
Sims 3 for iPhone was no different. Having accomplished nearly everything in the game, I will share a strategy for completing all 73 goals and acquiring the best job: $600 per day at the Pawn Shop.
The Objective
To open the pawn shop, you must complete the following 73 goals:
Goals for all Sims (55)
- Try fishing
- Try cooking
- Buy fishing kit
- Buy watering can
- Buy repair kit
- Buy a stove
- Buy a bath
- Gain a skill point at cooking

- Gain a skill point at repairing
- Meet a new Sim
- Befriend a Sim
- Begin a romantic relationship
- Make an enemy
- Make a Sim laugh
- Annoy a Sim
- Insult a Sim
- Creep-out another Sim
- Slap a Sim
- Get a job
- Buy something
- Catch a fish
- Catch a trout
- Catch a salmon
- Catch a catfish
- Repair something
- Discover a new recipe
- Cook something
- Cook grilled cheese
- Cook steak & veggies
- Cook minestrone
- Grow something
- Grow carrots
- Grow corn
- Grow tomato
- Watch TV
- Kick over a Trash Can
- Sleep in another Sim’s bed
- Use another Sim’s shower
- Use another Sim’s toilet
- Get a better couch
- Get a better TV
- Accumulate $1000
- Catch 15 fish
- Harvest 30 crops
- Stay entertained for three days
- Stay fed for three days
- Stay rested for three days
- Stay clean for three days
- Meet all the Sims in town
- Make a Sim jealous of you
- Sleep in three other Sim’s beds
- WooHoo with someone
- Get a promotion
- Reach the top of the career ladder
Maniac Personal Goals (4)
- Use everyone’s toilet at least once
- Use everyone’s shower at least once
- Creep out five people
- Watch three people sleeping
Sleaze Personal Goals (2)
- Be romantically involved with three Sims
- WooHoo eight times in one day
Power Seeker Personal Goals (3)
- Accumulate $5000
- Own the best house
- Own the best TV, stereo and stove
Nice Guy Personal Goals (2)
- Get married
- Be liked by all the Sims in town
Jerk Personal Goals (4)
- Be disliked by all the Sims in town
- Slap four people
- Insult five people
- Kick over all the trash cans in town
Jack of All Trades Personal Goals (3)
- Achieve the highest fishing skill level
- Achieve the highest repairing skill level
- Achieve the highest cooking skill level
There are six Sim classes:
- Jack of All Trades
- Nice Guy
- Jerk
- Sleaze
- Power Seeker
- Maniac
As previously mentioned, you will need to complete every Goal to unlock the Pawn Shop. Of the 73 total Goals, 55 randomly appear as Wishes, no matter which Sim class you choose, and they’re generally easy to complete.
On the other hand, each Sim’s Personal Goals are relatively difficult. You’ll need to create at least six Sims, one of each type. For the optimal path through the game, you should complete their personal goals from hardest to easiest. I will give an efficient play sequence below.
Play Order
Jack of All Trades
Create six Sims, and designate one as your “main” Sim. Your main Sim is the one with which you most identify.
Your main Sim is a Jack of All Trades (you’ll later need its Repair skill at the Pawn Shop). Play him or her first, building up skill levels as rapidly as possible. Learn to fish, because fishing is the best way to make money. As you accumulate money, buy as many of the cheapest stereos you can afford, filling your house. Each time you enter the house to eat or rest, turn them all on. Eventually, they will start breaking down, allowing you to practice repairing.
Practicing cooking is easy – simply buy bread, cheese, and the Grilled Cheese recipe and make it over and over again.
Once fishing, repairing, and cooking are level 5, save, quit and move to the next Sim.
Power Seeker
Your second Sim is your Power Seeker. Fish until you have $5000 and tool around town until you have the option to upgrade your house twice and buy the most expensive TV, stereo, and stove. Furniture and home upgrades simply take time. This is a good opportunity to accumulate general Goals.
At this point, you should have most of the 55 general Goals.
The Other Sim Types
Sleaze, Nice Guy, Jerk, and Maniac have fairly easy Personal Goals. The order in which you complete them does not matter.
At this point, you should have almost all of the Personal Goals. If not, keep playing — they’ll eventually show up.
Goal Tips
If you need the “Buy XXX” goal but you already have XXX, then try selling it. Eventually the Goal should appear as a Wish. Lock it in and repurchase the item.
If you need the “Gain a skill point at XXX” goal and you’re maxed out, switch to a Sim that is not maxed out.
If you’re having trouble Meeting all Sims, double-check all of the houses at different times of the day. I’ve noticed Bernie can be hard to find. Most Sims are sleeping in the middle of the night – try breaking into their houses, waking them up, and meeting them.
If you need to befriend a Sim but you’re already friends with all of the Sims, start a new Sim or insult a Sim until it becomes an enemy, then befriend him or her.
The best way to annoy, insult, and creep-out other Sims is to find a house with two Sims (e.g. Marcell and Theresa), barge in, and start flirting with one of them. Both will be creeped out and annoyed, and the flirting will insult the other and make him or her jealous. If that doesn’t work, start using their toilet, shower, and fridge.
Tips and Tricks
Fishing is the best way to make money. Each tuna sells at QuickMart for $100, and salmon for $65.
Besides the Pawn Shop, working at the Town Hall is the best. It’s easy to get promotions (both Ruth and the Town Hall are nearby) and you just need to be friends with everyone in town. As Vice President, you can make $300 per day.
Creating romantic relationships is easy. It sounds rude, but keep pestering the Sim with Flirt, Tender Embrace, Hot Smooch, and WooHoo. You should be able marry a Sim within two conversations.
Too many WooHoos and your Sim will die! Don’t overdo it in the bedroom!
If you get married, give your spouse a phone call and invite him or her over. Once your spouse arrives, you can invite him or her to move in.
Since the Town Hall is right by your house, it’s the best job until the Pawn Shop is open.

on my sims 3 for the i phone it says that the pawn shop is closed what do i do???? :((
February 3rd, 2010 at 6:25 pm
Awesome! Thank you
March 8th, 2010 at 1:27 pm
It does not matter how much i chat to sims, i can’t pass Best Friend status and I can’t Woohoo, or at least the option doesn’t appear. What have I missed out or done wrong?
March 12th, 2010 at 11:13 am
How many house upgrades are there?
March 22nd, 2010 at 11:05 am
thanks – i just finished the 73 goals and unlocked the criminal career and pawn shop. i didn’t discover your article until after but i can confirm that what you have written contains everything you will need to complete the 73 goals. i appreciate you laying out the occupations with salaries and hours. a couple of my own tips to add: get to know the sims’ personalities so you can quickly make friends or enemies with them as you need to; also, no need to rush home to rest, groom yourself or eat at $10/snack. Once a sim is your good friend you have free reign over their house and can eat for free. not a good friend? wait until they are asleep and you can use their house to your heart’s content.

Most thorough explanation on the web for Sims 3 mobile. Thanks so much!
April 10th, 2010 at 8:32 am
I have the Sim3 for the LG Chocolate Touch, so I have two extra goals making it 75. I am only missing two goals, Get a Job and Cook Something. My problem is Cook Minestrone popped up twice on my goal list. I cooked minestrone and one of the said completed. I have the other Cook Minestrone locked in for my sim to complete so I tried cooking it again to see if it would be checked off but it did not work. I have tried both get a job and cook something (thinking one of those has to be the extra cook minestrone) and that did not work either. I know this must be some kind of glitch and I don’t really wanted to remove the game and download it again on my phone. Any ideas? Have you heard of this before.
April 14th, 2010 at 9:14 am
Thank you very much! Playing Sims on iPhone has never been better. Legally I mean.

Where do you buy a stove? I can’t seem to find a place to buy it.. Any help would be most appreciated!
June 13th, 2010 at 9:45 am
hi i have a question how do you get the get a job goal? it hasnt shown up and ive been playing this game for a few months…
June 16th, 2010 at 7:27 pm
How to you complete the “Discover a new recipe” and the “Make a Sim jealous of you” goals?
That’s all I need and then I will have completed all goals!
Please respond!
June 24th, 2010 at 9:52 am
To discover a new recipe, go to the bistro and click on “Buy Recipe” if you have them all already, sell one and buy it back.
To make a sim jealous of you, go to Marcell and Theresa’s and tell one of them a flirty joke, and flirt with them
To buy a stove on iphone click on the chair in the bottom left corner (blue circle abovr the (…) button.
If playin on a normal phone, go to the wall in your house where the telephone is and click on buy new furniture
On iphone – at any point in the game click on the (…) button, go to “help & about” then on to gardening tips and shake your phone (give it quite a hard shake like you’re going to throw it. Each time you do this, you will get $500
Do NOT over do it tho or you will be stuck when it comes to the goals like “accumulate $1000 oir $5000″ You should only really do this to purchase furnature to sit the mini stereos on forachieving your repair goals.
Once you have completed the game, go wild with that cheat – I have £297,780 simoleons lol
June 26th, 2010 at 6:01 am

Can I complete all 73 goals using 6 sims.
July 29th, 2010 at 10:11 pm
i have completed 72 goals. i cant seem to unlock the last one. all my personal goals are completed for each sim but idk if my skills need to be at a 5 for all of them in order for the 73rd goal to appear! help please.
August 2nd, 2010 at 5:46 pm
No you just have to keep playing for certain goals to appear check your list the list above is in the order it is on my phone check and see which ones you don’t have.
I also found you can buy one stereo and just keep turning it off and on it breaks faster and you increase your skill level quickly as appose to waiting for them to break
August 11th, 2010 at 12:45 am
I play sims 3 on my ipod touch. I have completed all goals except for Get a promotion, Reach the top of the career ladder, and Meet a new sim. Goals i have already completed keep coming up and its taking a long time for the new goals to come up. Also, what can you Purchase in the pawn shop?
August 18th, 2010 at 6:12 am
How do I discover a new recipe in Sims3 Iphone?
I bought all recipes from Corsican Bistro. Now what should I do?
I try reading books in order to discover or improve my skills but there is no progress on any skills.
August 23rd, 2010 at 5:29 am
I have made best friends with most sims and no matter how much I interact romanticly with jill I can’t start a budding relationship, what do I do? Also how do I discover a new recipe, I have bought all the recipe’s anyway

What ingredients do i need to make steak and veggies? and how do i reach the top of the career ladder? I work at the lab and i make $250 each shift. I just asked Kia for a raise over and over again and in 20 sec i had 3 raises. haha
September 10th, 2010 at 10:21 pm
Hi,
your list of sims 3 was fantastic, but now move on, that is EA launches the Sims 3 World Adventures.
Now you should also post completionists guide to sims 3 world adventures with all 55 goals as you did for the sims 3 game.
I have downloaded the game and working on it.
if you want help with displaying that info mail me. ygsh_bhagat@hotmail.com
September 10th, 2010 at 10:28 pm
@@@@ Marie Gilmore
hi,
to make steak and veggies go to options check your inventory you will find steak and veggies click on that and you should get all the ingredients needed to make steak and veggies.
to reach the top of the career ladder quit your current job and get a job at Town Hall after that befriend with all the sims in town and then go to Ruth and ask her for raise and you should reach to the top of the career ladder.
hope this helps.
September 19th, 2010 at 7:54 pm
hi, i already completed 72/73 goals but one of them isnt discovered yet, which is accumulate 1000. how do i get it to show up?
September 19th, 2010 at 10:36 pm
Hello! I need help badly, I have not been able to find a website that addresses my issue. I can not get the “get a job” goal that I need in order to open the Pawn Shop! Background: I have all Sim personalities, all have jobs, there is at least one Sim that has a job in each profession, I have completed 72 goals and unlocked all 73 from the main menu. None of their personal goals include getting a job. I have been stuck at this point for a while and am pretty close to quitting, any information you can provide will be greatly appreciated!
September 20th, 2010 at 8:23 pm
I cannot seem to get any Sim to start a romantic relationship. I bug them with the flirts and tender hugs and sext dances but the kiss and woohoo arent showing up as options. I am best friends and know all their traits. Have i done something wrong? What am i missing?
Please reply, this is bugging me!
Thanks
October 2nd, 2010 at 1:23 am
I have done 71/73 goals. The last two are upgrade to best house & also upgrade to best tv/stove/fridge. These items have not yet been unlocked on my buy option. I can buy cheap stove and medium stove but the modern stove is locked. How can I unlock it?
October 10th, 2010 at 9:31 pm
i have the iPhone application for sims 3.
i cannot get any other sims in my house, they keep rejecting no matter what i do.
i cannot go past tender embrace, also why is this?
also, could you give me a minimal amount of imformation reguarding this game for iPhones. thanks.
October 12th, 2010 at 8:31 pm
I have the sims 3 on a pantech ease at&t phone and im playing with two sims right now and im ready to do my second house upgrade but when i click to upgrade it takes the money from me and the upper half of the screen freezes black and you cant do anything but exit. Is there a way to fix this? Also ive tried to start a budding romance with luke but it wont let me get past best friend i have a budding romance with jake does that matter?
October 14th, 2010 at 10:23 am
Awesome! Thank you!
October 17th, 2010 at 10:40 pm
Hi for some reason I have 75 goals but I completed them all except buy a new tv and own the best stero,tv and stove it keep say no suitable position when I try to buy the tv.I even tried making a new sim n tried to buy the tv first and see if that works but it don’t please last wish till I unlock the pawn shop!
November 11th, 2010 at 7:33 am
I have completed all goals and unlocked the criminal career and the pawn shop (sims 3 mobile- Tmobile Edition (Vibrant)) Is that the end of the game? I know I can continue to play, but is there another goal??
November 22nd, 2010 at 7:19 pm
I have my fishing skill all the way to pro and 1 of my goals is to get a catfish but seeing that I’m a pro I guess that catfish don’t show up anymore only the really good fish… What should I do??? Please send me a e-mail
November 25th, 2010 at 8:18 am
I can’t sell anything! I have no idea how to do this, can you sell stuff at any stage or does the pawn shop have to be available?
November 30th, 2010 at 1:25 am
The catfish will come – you just have to keep fishing at the lake. I have pro status also, they aren’t as frequent but you just have to be persistant. As for selling – go home and click on the furniture icon. It should come up with 3 options (I am on iPhone) – “Move or Sell” “Buy” and “Change Walls”. Click on Move or Sell and off you go! It has nothing to do with the pawn shop. If you want to sell fish you have caught or vegetables you have grown – go to the Quickmart.
To Barbie trying to buy the tv – is your loungeroom cluttered? If you are trying to buy the plazma tv it is quite big – make sure you have room in your loungeroom to place it before you click on buy.
December 1st, 2010 at 8:59 am
It does not matter how much i chat to sims, i can’t pass Best Friend status and I can’t Woohoo, or at least the option doesn’t appear. What have I missed out or done wrong?
December 2nd, 2010 at 1:41 am
Try and complete your own personal goals first. This helps with better conversation with sims. If you are trying to WooHoo you have to back track from best friends and make your move by repeating romantic actions after just friends. If you are already best friends with all the sims, be rude to them until you get back to friend status and then try romantic – then you can WooHoo once you are dating or partners (Can’t remember) and even get married!
December 3rd, 2010 at 3:01 am
how to make a Sim jealous of you?
and how to discover the goal,accumulate $1000?
thanks
December 4th, 2010 at 1:54 am
To make a sim jealous – try going to a couples house at night like Marcelle and Theresa or Jack and Jill. Try a romantic move on one of them while the other is around – that should work!
December 5th, 2010 at 12:04 am
i literally have started playing sims 3 on ipod touch. i am trying to complete my first goal – cooking minestrone. i’ve got my stove and recipe but i can not figure out how to find out the ingredients so i can shop for them. i read above to open inventory?

December 6th, 2010 at 12:06 am

December 27th, 2010 at 1:57 pm
How do Idiscover a recipe??
December 28th, 2010 at 7:44 am
hiya evryone,
id just like to say that this list has been very helpful!
I have it on Nokia C3, and you need the cleaning skill as well as the others to complete Jack of all Trades.
I see that a lot of you are having trouble with starting a romance. I have discovered (this may not be correct) that if you are past the ‘friend’ stage then you can’t start a romance with them. This is correct in my case anyway. Hope I helped!!!! x
December 29th, 2010 at 3:03 pm
Thanx that helped slot with my other situations but exactly how do I get my sim to woohoo another sim on my iPod ? Any help would be great o and how do you plant stuff ?
January 1st, 2011 at 12:13 pm
Once a wish expires does it reappear later?? And does the wish have to be on he tiny list down in the bottom right corner or can I do them at any time?
January 2nd, 2011 at 12:17 pm
If you need money go to … Left under after that you go to help&about after that to gardening tips. Shake your iphone or ipod touch and you will get 500 every time you shake
January 2nd, 2011 at 8:50 pm
To the peeps asking about how to get the “get a job” and “accumulate 1000″ goals here is the answer. 1st stop being stupid! You said so yourself that all your sims have jobs so why would they want another!?!? Besides, you can make more cash fishin anyways. Same can be said with the 1000 cash goal. Keep your sim poor. Finally, here is a garrunteed woohoo. You must be dating. Then speak in this order: flirt, embrace, pick-up line, smooch then woohoo.
January 3rd, 2011 at 12:07 pm
i just completed the game, if anyone has any questions from here on out, i will try to help.

Hey Chad, Great Web Page… I have the same problem as above. Can you help me out? Thanks in advance
January 3rd, 2011 at 11:05 pm
Nevermine

@coreypmc1. it’s easier to start a new sim with a different type, and wait till the catfish goal comes up, lock it in, and then go fishing till you get the goal.
January 6th, 2011 at 4:32 pm
HELP PLEASE – So far ive completed 45 goals but cant seem to woohoo anyone, is this because im best friends with all the other sims?!! I take it once you are best friends with all the sims there is no chance of being able to date and woohoo anyone now? If so then I’ll never be able to complete all the goals with my current sim. Will I have to create a new sim to be able to Woohoo? Aaaaargh!!!
January 7th, 2011 at 2:40 pm
hey, im having loads of trouble with the gardening bit, i cant start anygardening thing at all, i have brought a watering can, seeds and fertiliser and have the first upgrade of the house but i cant move on form there. what do i do?
January 8th, 2011 at 6:48 pm
There is only one goal so far that I have really had trouble with. I can’t seem to “meet all the sims in the city” even though I am already friends with all of them. What should I do?
January 9th, 2011 at 2:16 pm
This really helped, but how do you slap someone?ii’ve insulted people but nothing else came up.
January 10th, 2011 at 9:32 pm
Has anyone had any trouble with their sim suddenly disappearing? I went to play the game and my sim was gone! I have been working on her for hours and hours on end. It is like she never existed. When I hit start game, she is not listed as an option. HELP!
January 17th, 2011 at 12:15 pm
Great guide.
My issue is burning food. Out of many, many cooking attempts, I’ve only cooked a meal successfully about 2 times. I shake the pots (by touching them or by shaking my ipod touch) and they always burn!
Ingredients (and money) wasted! Not to mention no skill points gained.
How do I cook the food without burning it?
January 17th, 2011 at 7:49 pm
How do you get them to start dating? I can’t get passed the Best Friend stage so there is no option to smooch or woohoo. Please help!

January 19th, 2011 at 5:49 pm
I have completed 72/73 and the last one is not discovered yet. It has been a while…and what is “buy xxx” like it says in the completionists list? Please help. Any would be appreciated!

January 30th, 2011 at 4:46 pm
How do you discover a new recipe? I bought all the recipes and all the ingredients are stocked and I’ve tried planting all types of seeds but it just won’t work
February 3rd, 2011 at 8:51 pm
@Emi: If you have bought all the recipes, create a new sim, wait until the “discover a new recipe” wish appears, go to the corsican bistro and buy any recipe. I hope this can help you.
@henry: I would like to know how do you own the best house. Any help will be appreciated.
February 7th, 2011 at 4:17 pm

HI IM STUCK ON SLAP A SIM HOW DO I DO THIS PLEASE HELP
February 21st, 2011 at 9:10 pm
Hi, one of my personal goals os to be friends with all the sims in town. When i started to play i fooled around and made Ruth my nemessis. Now no matter how much i talk to her or anything she still wont be my friend! How do i make her be my friend again? Please help me :]
March 8th, 2011 at 12:34 am
hi, i m stuck on slap on a sim and in a relationship wit a sim. i keep tender embrace and flick also cant. plz help.
March 9th, 2011 at 11:59 am
Re: How to slap? How to make an enemy?
It’s not pretty. You have to go up to a Sim and use the Be Rude options – over and over and over if it’s a Good or Best Friend. After you’ve Insulted, Argued, and Humiliated enough times, the Slap option appears. Keep doing that and eventually you have an Enemy.
If you don’t have a Be Rude option, do rude things like Barge In instead of Knock or Flirt with someone’s partner until the “Like-o-meter” drops back to Friend. At some point, you will surely get the Be Rude option.
FWIW…
March 13th, 2011 at 7:34 pm
Did I miss something? I completed the 75 goals and got the best job at the Pawn Shop.
1. Pawn Shop
After getting the Pawn Shop job, I thought the Sim would get some new actions, e.g. stealing cars or stereos. No?
Pawn Shop only offered a car (could be bought for the same price at the car dealer) and no option to fence “inventory”?
2. Maniac Sim
The teasers suggested more than 1 new action for a Maniac Sim. I only found 1, the Talk To plants action. Are there more?
3. Is there anything else to do?
I figured there would be some kind of congratulatory pop-up upon getting the top job at the Pawn Shop – something like, “Good job; you’ve done it all and seen it all”.
If that’s it, finishing the game is a bit anti-climatic, IMO.
March 17th, 2011 at 11:32 am
I have a best friend on the game I want to marry. So how to I un-bestfriend her to make her a date?

To make a sims jealous go marcell and theresas and flirt with one
Get the ingredients from the supermarket
The best way to marry your best friend is to be really rude and make them disliked then flirt and do sexy dances and stuff

@ rafael to make a sim jealous flirt/ hug/ kiss with his/ her partner
May 11th, 2011 at 4:23 am
What if propose or marry doesn’t show up in the romantic section, what will I do?
May 11th, 2011 at 5:45 am
Can you complete a goal before it appears for the first time in your wishlist
May 17th, 2011 at 11:38 am
Once you are friends with a sim, your romantic advances will no longer be effective. You basically have to start a romantic relationship “from scratch” – kind of unrealistic, but then it’s not a real world, it’s Sims.
If you’re already friends with the sim you want to court, you might try insulting, arguing and slapping until the sim dislikes you. Then you apologise (but not too many times, otherwise you’ll end up as a friend again), and start flirting.
It is strangely possible to have a full-on relationship with an already involved sim; for example my sim was engaged to Jake, despite Jake being the live-in boyfriend of Maggie. You just have to limit your romantic interaction to when the jealous partner is not around (unless you don’t care).
May 17th, 2011 at 11:40 am
Also, if you are romantically involved with a sim, but can’t find the romantic action you want, do the romantic actions which are there, eg, flirt, embrace, a few times, and some more options will appear.
May 19th, 2011 at 12:13 pm
What should i do? I cant find the last goal..i already completed 74/75 goal and also all persona goal (each sim)

Hey how do you grow things in the sims?
June 2nd, 2011 at 6:43 pm
Christal, you have to upgrade your house. The only way to do that is wait for the game to give you the option. This first upgrade costs 1000 simoleons. To check to see if you already have the option, click on the chair icon that takes you to where you buy furniture. If the option to upgrade is there, you’ll see it.
June 3rd, 2011 at 8:26 pm
Actually, the easiest way to earn money is to go to the pause menu (the 3 dots at bottom left corner), go to help and about, then go to “Gardening Tips”. when your there, shake your iphone/ipod.
June 8th, 2011 at 6:55 am
I play Sims3 on my mobile it says that I have completed and discovered 74/75 goals. Still the Pawn Shop has not opened. I have completed all the Personal Goals of each Sim trait

A better way to quickly improve repairing skills is turning your radio or tv on and off a lot. Its faster and free!

One of my sims can’t get past the partner stage and the other can’t get past the best friend stage. Also, I can’t sell any of my fish at the market and the pawn shop is always closed. Should I try uninstalling and reinstalling? What can I do? Please someone help. Thanks
November 20th, 2011 at 2:05 pm
Awesome guide, works on Android just as well.
One little tip I’ve picked up is that with the modern stereo you can stand next to it and turn it on and off really quickly and easily. After about 20 times it needs repairing. Keep doing that and it speeds up the repairing skill so much!
:)

December 30th, 2011 at 9:57 am
To move your married sims in together, you just simply need to go to your house and invite your wife/husband to your house by phoning she/he. Once she/he come to your house, ask she/he to move in with you..
Btw, can you please post about how to crack all the sims traits?
December 31st, 2011 at 7:47 am
