I played the Jack of All Trades character to my hearts desire and completed 59/75. Once I made a new character to try and complete their persona specific goals, these 4 new Sims 3 mobile goals appeared/become unlocked.

Still missing the last two. Does anyone know what they are and how to unlock/achieve them?

More updates to the Sims 3 mobile guide site will be how to achieve goals, and FAQ's.

Fishing; Catching and Selling Fish (Easy Money!)

2009-09-24T22:09:00.005-04:00

Next up is fishing. This is an easy way to make money fast (and its a good break from other Sim tasks...naturaly), all the while you complete other goals and improve your skills.

Head over to the lake and walk over to the fishing platform.
This mini-game is fairly self-explanitory, so we won't go into detail here.

To sell fish:
Shop at the Quickmart, scroll to the bottom of the menu, highlight the specific fish you want to sell, then hit 4 or your left directional key once for each fish you have, then press the right soft key to finish the sale.

Catfish - $25, limit 5
Snapper - $45, limit 5
Trout - $50, limit 5
Salmon - $65, limit 10
Tuna - $100, limit 3

The higher your fishing score, the better chance you have a catching the higher priced fish.

There are many different fishing Goals in Sims 3 Mobile. Don't lock in the Catch a Catfish goal early on in the game when you haven't increased your fishing skill at all.

75 Goals (73 for iphone)

2009-09-24T17:20:00.012-04:00

Getting Started- Choosing a Persona

2009-09-23T14:04:00.016-04:00

Start a new game, and create a Sim. Make 'em look how you most desire, then, most importantly decide on your Sim's persona. You can choose between 6 different personas.

Why does this matter, you ask?

Let's back track a bit...

iPhones have 73 obtainable goals. Other mobiles have 75. Each persona has a different set of goals to complete (ie. Jack of All trades wants to focus on the fishing, repairing, cleaning, and cooking skill set, whereas the Nice Guy wants to get married and be liked by all the Sims in town).

In the beginning, just pick whichever one suites your fancy.

Next up - your Sim's traits. These don't seem to have any affect on goals, etc., however choosing traits that might obtain goals easier (ie. if you're the Nice Guy, chose modest, friendly, genius, conversationalist, and good sense of humor) would be wise.

Jack of All Trades

"This Sim is well-rounded, good at everything, but master of nothing."

Persona Goals:

Achieve the highest fishing skill level
Achieve the highest repairing skill level
Achieve the highest cooking skill level
Achieve the highest cleaning skill level

Nice Guy/Girl

"Need to create and maintain friendships with everybody in the neighborhood."

Persona Goals:

Get married
Be liked by all the Sims in town

Jerk

"Excel by annoying every Sim in the neighborhood."

Persona Goals:

Be disliked by all the Sims in town
Slap four people
Insult five people
Kick over all the trash cans in town

Sleaze

"Requires generous amounts of WooHoo."

Persona Goals:

Be romantically involved with three Sims
WooHoo eight times in one day

Power Seeker

"This Sim loves money and power."

Persona Goals:

Accumulate $5,000
Own the best house
Own the best TV, stereo and stove

Maniac

"This Sim is just crazy!"

Persona Goals:

Use everyone's toilet at least once
Use everyone's shower at least once
Creep out five people
Watch three people sleeping
