------------------------------------------------ 5. Changing rep groups/gaining 10 rep points ------------------------------------------------ To change your current rep group, you need to obtain 10 rep points with the rep group you desire to get into. After you have gained 10 rep points, talk to the leader and he or she will ask you whether you want to join them. Say yes, and you'd be given a series of rewards, which is included in the next part. Another interesting thing to note once you have 9 or more rep points is that you start to walk differently, depending on what rep group you're in. I've made a list of the things I did that managed to help me get 10 points. If you see a mistake or have more ways to add rep points, please contact me and you'd be credited. These will give you rep points: - Max out the skill specific to the reep group. a) Richies 10 Charisma skill b) Streeties 10 Body skill c) Nerdies 10 Logic skill d) Artsies 10 Creativity - Have Rel 50 or more with a member off that rep group (4 in all, including the leader) - Have Rel 100 with that rep group's lleader - Have Rel -5 or less with rival rep ggroup's leader - Complete that rep group's mission - Give that rep group's trophy to the leader. a) The Richies trophy can be found on the 2nd floor of the Glasstown Megastore. It is near the computers at the back, near the top-left corner. b) The Streeties trophy can be found in the cemetary, on the screen just outside the mausoleum. It's at the end of the screen, behind the right-most tombstone. c) The Nerdies trophy is located around the tree at the carnival. It's near the end of it and pretty much stands out so you won't miss it. d) The Artsies trophy can be found after crossing the second plank in the bayou. Head directly left, past the 2 plants and search the ground. - Move to a place not in a disliked diistrict. There is no single "preferred location" theoratically. Each rep group has a number of "preferred location", and the point will be given to the rep group that you have one of the least rep points with, or have not fulfilled a point for that yet. It's possible to score rep points anywhere you move, as long as it's not in the disliked district. Disliked location according to the guide book: Richies: Urbania Streeties: SimQuarter Nerdies: SimQuarter Artsies: Glasstown This is basically trial and error, but I did some experimenting and the highest likelihood of gaining a rep point for each group are as follows: Richies: Townhouse, Penthouse Streeties: Large/Small Brownhouse Nerdies: City Apartment, First Mate's Quarters Artsies: Large/Small Brownhouse, First Mate's Quarters Also regarding roomates: Upon further researching, I found out that moving in with anyone but a member in your rival rep group does NOT give you a rep point. However, it also does NOT take away a rep point. Moving in with a member of the rival group will take away a rep point, but kicking him/her out will return that point to you. Hope this clears up the misconception that moving in with a fellow rep group member gives you 1 rep point. I apologize for the wrong information in an earlier version of this guide.
