You will need about 4 mechanical bars (you can get them at the libuary by reading the right books). Travel through the tunnels, untill you find the right ladder. When you do, pic at the lock once and it should open (only if you have 4 skill points). At 12.oopm to 1.00am there will be a ghost, and you need to work out his riddels!

For two hours a week you can purchase cheats from Heidi Shadows,

The Cheat Ninja (Secret Character).

You must be in the right place at the right time, and thats no easy feat.

Heidi appears at the following times and places:

-Southwest of Imperial Estates, Mondays 11:00pm-midnight
-Park Maze (Top right hand corner), Fridays 3:00am-4:00am

The hard part is knowing what day of the week it is. To find out what day of the week it is:

1)Press "Select" and save your game.
2)Press "Select" and select "Save Game" from the menu (but dont save again)
3)Look at the game file; it states the time and day of the last save. Unfortunately, the day is a number, not a day of the week.

It's confusing but not impossible.

The game starts on a Monday, so that's day 1.

Therefore Mondays are days 1, 8, 15, 22, 29, 36, 43, 50, 57, 64, 71, 78, 85, 92, 99, 106, 113, 120, 127, 134, 141, 148, 155, etc...

Fridays are 5, 12, 19, 26, 33, 40, 47, 54, 61, 68, 75, 82, 89, 96, 103, 110, 117, 124, 131, 138, 145, 152, 159, etc...

You can buy cheats from Heidi like any shop, She sells:

- Rosebud: adds $5,000
- Slip of paper: contains a password "Bucket" that might come in handy in, say, a sequel of some kind ;)
- Silver Tongue Berry- adds 1 charisma skill point
- Gourmet Berry- adds 1 cooking skill point
- Clock Berry- adds 1 mechanical point
- Buff Berry- adds 1 Body point

To save your money, buy everything you need at the beginning of the game, so you can save your simolions till the middle of it. Onc eyou get to imperial estates, then spent it all. Play bait flinger fist, then mower madness (if you have them unlocked) at 8:00 play smoothie side at the biker's bar, you should get about $300 simolions a day or more depending on what level your in.

When you are talking to someone, and you run out of good things to say. Leave! (don't Leave the area just leave the person) Then come back and talk again. You will have lots to say.
