Then when everyone got there I served food then talked to everyone. When I finally celebrated my birthday everyone cheered then started leaving and they all said it was epic. So pretty much make sure all of your guests are happy and they will enjoy the party.

Partners in Crime (Bronze) – Become a partner of the Paragon Personal Private Charity Warehouse.

Home is Where the Simoleons Are (Bronze) – Raise your household’s value to §35,000 or more.
– This will be easier if you have multiple sims working at the same time. By going into the build/buy mode you can see what your house is worth. From there just save up the required money to reach that $35,000 goal. Once you have the money go and spend all the money on furniture so your house value reaches $35,000.

– See “Leet Skillz”.
Leet Skillz (Silver) – Complete any 10 Skill Journal Milestones.
– Skill Milestones are difficult feats that will take some time like preparing 50 meals or learning all of the recipes. To view your Skill Journal hit square to bring up your menu then move to skills and press X. From here you can see each skill and what the milestones are. By far some of the easier ones are cooking 50 and 75 meals since you cook all of the time as well as fixing so many appliances since stuff is always breaking. Just keep referring back to this journal and you will meet these goals.
Expertise (Silver) – Reach level 10 in a Skill.
– Focus on one skill, whether its cooking, athletic ect. If you choose cooking then cook, watch the cooking channel and read cook books. Keep doing this until you reach level 10.
But it’s Inflammable! (Bronze) – Extinguish a Sim on fire.
– A fire can start a few ways, either by failing while cooking or tinkering with something electric or using the firestorm karma. Either way be sure to have no fire alarm and also make sure no sims with the brave trait are around. Then when a fire is started and your sim catches on fire be another sim and select the on fire sim and choose the option extinguish sim. Be sure to save before trying this as fire will cause a lot of damage to your house.
Epic Fail (Bronze) – Use the Epic Fail Karma Power on 13 unsuspecting sims not in your family.
– There is pretty easy and straight forward. Go to the park or invite a sim over then use the Epic Fail Karma power on them. It will cost you 25 karma points per use so it will take some time.
Matchmaker (Bronze) – Start 5 romantic relationships.
– This can be done a few ways. You can try and get your sim to become boyfriend and girlfriend with five different sims. You also get another point towards this when you get engaged so for every time you et engaged you essentially have gained two points. So if you get two sims in the house have both of them get engaged and at some point have one of them simply become boyfriend and girlfriend with another sim and dump them.
Owned! (Bronze) – Buy out a commercial property in town.
– To be able to buy any property first become a partner. It will always cost some cash to become a partner so look around for cheaper offers. Then once your a partner you can start saving up in order to try and buy the property straight out.

Once all of your new stuff is destroyed you will be given a check for at least $15,000. You will need to save up at least $50,000 to guarantee a big check.
Fit For a King (Bronze) – Prepare a perfect meal.
– There is a lot more to this then simply getting your sim to a level 10 in cooking. You need to have a sim that also has the natural cook and professional trait. Then you need to go to the store and pick out all of the ingredients. Finally you need to use the Festus 44 that one of your sims has upgraded the meal quality. At this time it should only take a few attempts to make that perfect meal.
Botanical Perfection (Bronze) – Grow a perfect plant.
– First you need a seed that you can plant outside. Once you plant it keep checking on it and tend to it whenever the option is available. Once the tree is fully grown harvest the fruit, which will provide a seed that is even better quality then the previous one. Keep repeating this process until you get a mature perfect plant.
Trophy Fish (Bronze) – Catch a perfect fish.
– This will just take some waiting and some luck. Fish and fish often the more you fish the more likely you will catch a perfect fish. You can try reading books and using fancy bait, but really in the long run persistence will pay off.
Happiness… It Stacks (Bronze) – Get 5 positive moodlets at the same time on one Sim.
– This is pretty easy and more then likely will come by simply playing the game. You get positive moodlets by feeling comfortable, having a good meal, being in love, so try and do a lot of things that make your sim happy. Using the Super satisfy Karma will give you two positive moodlets right off the bat so the other three are up to you. I would suggest sitting on a couch or laying in bed for the comfy moodlet. Also completing wishes will give you a positive moodlet.
Challenging (Bronze) – Complete 50 Challenges.
– See “Uberchallenging”.
Very Challenging (Silver) – Complete 100 Challenges.

Uberchallenging (Silver) – Complete 150 Challenges.
– Challenges can be found by pressing select and going to the right and selecting Challenges and Rewards. Here you will find close to 300 challenges of which you will need to complete half of. Most are relatively easy get a job, have a baby, watch a game at the stadium in fact you should be able to mange a ton of challenges simply playing the game and not paying attention to them. Some of the easier ways to finish challenges would be to master a skill, become a master chef then you can make specialty dishes which will unlock even more challenges. If you have a family you can have each sim focusing on their own set of challenges to help get this trophy quicker. As long as you pay attention to what you need to do this is relatively easy just time consuming.
Movin’ On Up (Silver) – Move into a new home.
– This is pretty cut and dry. Select your sim then go to cell phone and finally move out. From there you just need to select a new location to move to.
Working Friends (Silver) – Become best friends with your boss and all of your co-workers.
– This will require you to befriend two people your boss and one co-worker. When you go to your relationship menu you can see who you work with as they will have an icon of someone sitting at a desk.

The Reviler (Silver) – Become a public menace.
– You will first need a sim that has the evil sim trait as well as the kleptomaniac trait. If your sim does not have these traits then you can use the Midlife Crises Option which will run you 20,000 points. Then you will need to do five things.

Master Architect (Silver) – Build a home of at least §350,000 property value on a large lot.
– This is simply a time consuming trophy. Your furnished house value needs to be over $350,000 so first save up $350,000 then buy one of the large lots running about $100,000. From there by all the expensive stuff that you could ever want. Be sure to purchase everything at once since object value depreciate with time.
Genie (Silver) – Gain 150,000 Lifetime Happiness Points in one Sim.
– See “True Wealth”.
True Wealth (Silver) – Gain 250,000 Lifetime Happiness on one Sim.
– First this can only be completed with one sim, so it will be best to start as young as possible. Lifetime Happiness points are earned by completing wishes. Since most wishes grant you under a 1,000, with a few managing 10,000, completing as many and as often as possible is key. Also completing a lifetime wish will grant you around 30,000 points. Be sure to only focus on the sim as it is not a combined trait. Also you can still make lifetime reward purchase as this is simply an overall total and you do not need to have 250,000 at one time.
