[edit] "Get a Life" Mode

Main article: Get a Life Storyline

"Get a Life" Mode requires your character to complete different objectives as they progress through life. They start out unemployed and living in Mom's house and end with enough money to buy a yacht.

Each level occurs in one house/lot and the Sim must complete several goals which unlock new items in Buy Mode.

[edit] "Play The Sims" Mode

This is technically free play for the console. There are 5 premade families, 3 of which are moved in, 2 that are in the family bin.

Those who are moved in:

Goth Family - Mortimer Goth, Cassandra Goth, and Bella Goth
Newbie Family - Betty Newbie, and Bob Newbie
Roomies Family - Chris Jones, and Melissa Smith

Those who aren't moved in:

The Sim's control is up to you, there are no set goals, and no requirements (except for certain objects needed to be unlocked).
