Hello everyone, it's me again! To make up for my absence I decided to post not one, but two posts today. Today since my hotel is especially dirty, I'll be talking about Dust Piles!
As you can see, there are grey little objects on the floor, those are Dust Piles. They're one of the first objects you interact with in this game, but I still thought they were worth bringing up. During one of the main quests, you are told you need to clean the hotel.
To do that, you have to pick up the Vacuum Cleaner off of the ground, it's pretty hard to miss really, and go in your inventory.
To use an object in your inventory, click on it with your Stylus, and it will be highlighted in green like so, it should also display a description for the object you selected. What you need to do next is press the hand icon, every time you can use an object in your environment, the hand icon will be green to show it.
Using the Vacuum will bring up this screen. In the Vacuum mini-game, you have to leave the grey mush out and collect the strange objects, click them with your stylus and drag them to the hole at the bottom of the touch screen. An image of the object your collected as well as its name will show up, and depending on the object, you might even earn some Simoleons.
Important note: with the "mice in your hotel" mission, you HAVE to manually pick out mice like I just mentioned, otherwise the mission will NOT be successful! You only need to do it for a few dust piles, just be patient, the monetary reward is worth the trouble.
So you accidentally touched some dust, and now your screen is all dirty, what do you do?
Well, like the little mouth at the bottom of the screen implies, just blow in your microphone! Blow the dust away and voila! Your screen is clear again.
If you guys are interested, I could post a list of the objects that are vacuum-able and their associated prices, don't be afraid to ask me.
