- Send a Sim to the Mall
  (A new mall is under construction right here in Sim Town. It's filled to the brim with stores, clothes, and activities!
  Have a Sim go to the Sunset Mall and check it out.)

- Buy something from the Mall Store
  (The mall is HUGE! There are many stores, but only one is open for now. Have your Sim buy something from the open store!
  Tap the store directory at the front of the mall to choose an item you'd like to buy.)

- Send a Sim home
  (Any clothing purchased in the store is instantly placed in your Sims wardrobes. Your Sim is happy with their purchase, but something was missing from the shopping experience. Your Sim wants to ask a someone special to go shopping with them.
  Send your Sim home so they can ask.)
 
- Invite a date to the Mall (8 mins)
  (Your Sim has a secret crush whom they want to ask to the mall.
  Ask them if they'd like to go to the mall together.)

- Summon Courage (12 hrs 30 mins on 3-star)
  (Hmmm... that didn't go so well. Your Sim must have been too nervous. Perhaps sitting down and breathing for a moment will help!
  Tap on a couch and choose 'Summon Courage'!)

- Invite a date to the Mall (5 mins, tap other Sim)
  (The calming exercise on the couch worked perfectly!
  Have your newly zen Sim ask their crush to the mall again before they lose their cool.)

- Send 2 Sims to the Mall
  (It worked! Your Sim's crush agreed to go to the mall! Well done.
  Send your 2 Sims there now.)

- Investigate strange noise (10 hrs 30 mins)
  (Wonderful! Both your Sims have arrived safely at the mall and ready to shop. But, a strange sound seems to be coming from the boxes near the escalator. Your Sims should investigate.
  Tap on the boxes near the escalator and choose 'Investigate Noise'.)

- Introduce your Sim to the Robot (10 mins)
  (YIKES! Your Sims seem to have stumbled upon a real live robot near the escalator!
  Have your Sim introduce themselves.)
 
- Leave the Mall
  (The small robot is making a lot of noises, and your Sims aren't sure what to make of it. So there is only one reasonable option left. RUN!
  Have your Sims leave the mall!)

- Have 2 Sims watch the news (4 mins on 3-star)
  (Phew... That was a lucky escape! Your Sims ran away so fast it was hard to tell if the robot wanted to shake hands or disintegrate them. Perhaps the news has reported on the robot.
  Have 2 Sims watch the news on a TV together.)

- Ask another Sim to return to the Mall (2 hrs 30 mins)
  (The news stated a mysterious robot has taken over the mall, and all work there is postponed until further notice.
Perhaps your Sim can ask the robot to leave... With help of course!
  Have your Sim ask their crush to come back to the mall with them. )
 
- Remind Sim about Shopping (3 hrs 30 mins)
  (Hmm... They seem unwilling to face the robot at the mall. Have your Sim tell their crush about a very nice pair of shoes they saw during their first visit. No Sim could possibly resist that!)

- Watch "Self-Defence" on TV (11 hrs)
  (Wonderful! The promise of comfortable and stylish footwear has convinced them to return to the mall. But, they still don't feel prepared to face a robot. Luckily, a "Self-Defence at Home" infomercial is about to start on TV.  Perfect!
  Tap on a TV and choose 'Self-Defence Infomercial'.)

- Send 2 Sims to the Park
  (The self-defence infomercial has your Sims feeling better about facing the robot, but what if they need to escape in a hurry? Robots could even have jet boots, so a little athletic training may be just the ticket!
  Send 2 Sims to the Park.)

- Have a Sim Go Running (statue, 11 hrs 30 mins)
  (Running is a great way to improve a Sims cardio fitness, and the park is the perfect place to do just that! Have your Sim start at the park statue. Ready? Go!
  Tap the park statue and choose 'Go Running'.)

- Send 2 Sims to the Mall
  (With endurance like that, your Sim is ready to outrun even the most high-powered robot. Your Sims are ready to return to the mall, face the robot, and continue their date!
  Send 2 Sims to the Mall.)

- Clear Boxes (2 hrs 30 mins)
  (The robot is nowhere to be found! Maybe it's hiding in those boxes... they need to be cleared anyway to continue construction of the mall. Two birds with one stone, you might say.
  Tap the boxes to the left of the mall entrance, and choose 'Clear'.)

- Talk to the Robot (25 mins)
  (AHHHH! The robot is still here!
  Before doing anything drastic, have your Sim try a little diplomacy and talk to the robot.)

- Suggest a Prop (2 hrs 40 mins, any will do)
  (he robot responded enthusiastically, but your Sim can't understand the strange language it uses. Perhaps the robot would enjoy a performance. Try setting the scene with a prop!
  Tap on the robot and suggest a prop to use.)

- Suggest an Animal (5 hrs 30 mins, any will do)
  (Wonderful! The robot seems pleased, or at least it blooped appropriately. Something is missing though. Perhaps the performance would work better if an animal was present.
  Tap on the robot and suggest an animal.)

- Perform an Act (7 hrs 31 mins)
  (Superb choice! Actually, it isn't clear if the robot liked that last suggestion, but it agreed anyway. One last choice remains, the act itself!
  Tap the robot, then choose an act and outfit that it might like.)

- Talk to Sim (15 mins)
  (Excellent! Your Sims did a great job at entertaining, but the robot took this as a hostile action and set off "lasers" in the mall! The noise attracted the attention of a Sim who should be told it's safer to stay outside.
  Talk to the Sim outside the mall.)

- Shut Down the "Lasers" (1 min)
  (The Sim says she came to pick up her "little robot". Your Sims should deactivate the "lasers" first though! See the flashing light behind the robot? It will shut down the "lasers"!
  Tap the flashing light and choose 'Switch Off'.)

- Distract the Robot (Toy Dog: 5 hrs 30 mins + Switch Off 2 secs, or Call Mall Electrician: 10 hrs)
  (Hmm. No one will go near the light with the robot there. Perhaps it can be distracted? A weather contraption, globe, and wind-up dog have mysteriously appeared. Use the item the robot would be most interested in, then switch off the alarm while it's distracted!
  NOTE: The mall electrician will shut down the power if you call him by phone, but it will take a lot longer.)

- Investigate the Robot (15 mins)
  (Excellent! The lasers have been shut off, except there weren't any lasers to begin with! It was just the alarm system that was triggered. How strange.
  Go back to the robot and investigate it again.)

- Investigate the Robot Head (10 mins)
  (Gasp!... Was the robot vaporized by another Sim? Why was there a child inside it? Was it just a costume all along? Check the robot's head to be sure it's deactivated, it's the only thing left!
  Investigate the robot head.)

- Build a new Store (1 hr, § 1,000)
  (Whew!... The robot head shows no signs of recovering. With the threat averted, it's safe to resume construction of Sim Town's new shopping destination!
  Tap the pulsing store icon to the left of the mall entrance, and choose 'Build'.)

- Browse the Store (front 'panel')
  (The store is open and ready for business!
  Tap on the store directory at the front of the mall to browse their selection. Let's go shopping!)

- Cheer with another Sim (1 min)
  (WOW! The Sunset Mall has so many new clothes to shop for! It was worth the wait, and your Sims date thinks so too. They've both had a surprisingly amazing time! Trendy shopping, dance offs, robot lasers... BEST DATE EVER!
  Have two Sims 'Cheer' together!)
