Lvl 1: Bug Scout Leader
Q: The scout troop's rarest cocoon is finally hatching! $Me assigns her best Cocoon Watcher to document this exciting moment. Unfortunately, at the next meeting the Cocoon Watcher admits that he became so fascinated that he forgot to make notes until it was all over. $Me must decide how to handle the situation. Should she scold him for his inattention or admit that she’s done the same thing in the past?

Scold (good): $Me gently reminds him of the Bug Scout Mission Statement: “To discover strange new bugs, to seek out new Insectoid Life Forms and to boldly go where no Bug Scout has gone before.” His eyes brighten as he hears the inspiring speech and he promises to live up to the Mission Statement from now on. $Me gains a Charisma point.
Scold (bad): $Me launches into a lecture about the Importance of Paying Attention. She rambles for a while and then hears herself say “Back in My Day we always paid attention to hatching cocoons!” Too late, she realizes that she sounds like one of those boring adults she hated when she was a kid. Out of the corner of her eye she notices the inattentive Bug Scout rolling his eyes and glancing at his phone. $Me loses some of the respect of her Bug Scouts and loses a Charisma point.
Admit past mistake (good): $Me admits that when she was a Cocoon Watcher she was once so excited she forgot to take notes. The Scout feels less ashamed knowing that he isn’t the only one who has gotten caught up in the excitement of Cocoon Watching and resolves to do better in the future. $Me gains a Charisma point.
Admit past mistake (bad): $Me admits that when she was a Cocoon Watcher she was once so excited she forgot to take notes. Unfortunately, her attempts to connect with him come across as condescending and the Bug Scout is bored and offended. He decides to drop out of the Bug Scouts and take up the tuba instead. $Me loses a Charisma point.

Lvl 2: Nature Center Tour Guide
Q: Today is the center's monthly Open House, which means members of the public will bring questions, problems and unknown bugs they found in their yards. After answering the usual questions (Are all ladybugs girls? Do spiders get cold?) $Me is asked by a local farmer to identify an unusual bug he found in his crops. Looking at it closely, $Me can see that it's some sort of caterpillar with yellow legs, a blue underbelly and a row of tiny purple spikes down its spine. Is it a Dragon Blue Creeper or a Purple-Spined Dingydipper?

Dragon Blue Creeper (good): After some thought, $Me decides it is a perfect example of a Dragon Blue Creeper, which means it's harmless to the farmer's crops. Reassured, the farmer thanks $Me and takes the caterpillar back to his farm and places it carefully back where he found it. The farmer is so pleased with $Me's help that he writes a letter praising her to the head of the nature center and $Me receives a bonus of 500 simoleons!
Dragon Blue Creeper (bad): After some thought, $Me decides it is a perfect example of a Dragon Blue Creeper, which means it's harmless to the farmer's crops. Reassured, the farmer thanks $Me and takes the caterpillar back to his farm and places it carefully back where he found it. Unfortunately, $Me forgot one important fact about Dragon Blue Creepers: they turn into ravenous Tow-Headed Moths. Within two days the farmer's crops have been eaten to the ground and the angry farmer writes a letter of complaint to $Me's boss. $Me is demoted to Bug Scout Leader.
Purple-Spined Dingydipper (good): $Me holds the unusual bug up to the light and studies it before declaring it a Purple-Spined Dingydipper. While cute and cuddly, Purple Spined Dingydippers are notorious for holding wild parties that disturb the surrounding plants. $Me recommends that the farmer lure the Dingydippers out of his field with tiny kegs of juice and a miniature pool table. As a result the Dingydippers are happy, the farmer is happy and $Me's boss is happy! $Me is promoted to Field Extension Agent!
Purple-Spined Dingydipper (bad): $Me holds the unusual bug up to the light and studies it before declaring it a Purple-Spined Dingydipper. Unfortunately, the only thing $Me can remember about Dingydippers is that they don't eat the surrounding plants. As a result the farmer takes the Dingydipper home but is awakened at 1:00 am by a noisy Dingydipper Hoe-Down happening in his field. The noise keeps him up all night and wilts his crops. He writes an angry letter to $Me's supervisor who scolds $Me severely. $Me has lost a mechanical point.

Lvl 3: Field Extension Agent
Q: $Me is assigned to help a local tomato farmer who’s struggling with an infestation of tomato-eating Jazzhand Beetles. Contacting the local university for more information might be a good place to start; on the other hand Jazzhand Beetles are known for their love of showtunes. Should $Me make the call or set up some speakers and start playing some killer tunes?

Make the call (good): $Me calls the Entomology Department at the local university and is connected with a professor. After hearing about the problem, the professor tells $Me that Jazzhand Beetles only eat tomatoes when their favorite plant, Wild Marshsilk, is unavailable. $Me helps the farmer plant a small area with Wild Marshsilk and soon the Jazzhands have started eating the new plants and ignoring the tomatoes. $Me gains a logic point!
Make the call (bad): $Me calls the Entomology Department at the local university and is put on hold for a long time. When someone finally answers, they suggest that $Me sprinkle the tomato plants with dried dandelion powder to drive away the beetles. After sprinkling, the Jazzhand Beetles move out quickly, but unfortunately the farmer is allergic to dandelions and has to stay inside until the next rain washes away all the dandelion powder. In the meantime, the tomato plants shrivel and die. $Me has to refund the money the farmer spent on the powder and loses $50.
Play some tunes (good): $Me sets up a loudspeaker on a pole in the center of the tomato field and begins playing the classic soundtrack to “Uptown Llamas”. Out in the field the sounds of chewing slowly die out as the Jazzhand Beetles begin to dance. Trial and error shows that as long as show tunes are played at least 8 hours per day, the beetles are happy to stop eating the tomatoes and are content to eat the weeds instead. $Me gains a point in creativity.
Play some tunes (bad): $Me sets up a loudspeaker on a pole in the center of the tomato field and begins playing the classic soundtrack to “Uptown Llamas”. After a moment of silence, the sound of beetles eating tomatoes speeds up as the Jazzhands start to eat in time with the music. Before the soundtrack is finished a large section of the field lies in ruins. The disaster makes the entire field office look bad and the embarrassment makes $Me lose a charisma point.

Lvl 4: Beekeeper
Q: $Me hears a great deal of angry buzzing from one of the hives and goes over to investigate. The angry bees swarm out of the hive and surround her: $Me is covered in bees! Should she stand very still or start screaming and running madly around the Bee Yard?

Stand still (good): $Me decides to stand very still while the bees walk all over her and buzz insults at each other. Apparently, one of them told another a "Yo' Mama" joke, forgetting that they all have the same mother. Eventually, they calm down and agree the joke was actually pretty funny. They return to the hive and $Me is able to leave safely. $Me gains a body point for bravery.
Stand still (bad): $Me decides to stand very still while the bees walk all over her and buzz insults at each other. Apparently, one of them told another a "Yo’ Mama" joke, forgetting that they all have the same mother. The buzzing gets louder and soon $Me is covered with bees pulling each others stingers and brawling. Eventually, $Me's supervisor has to rescue her with a light spray from the hose and $Me is able to leave. Her coworkers nickname her BB - for Bee Brawl - and she loses a charisma point from embarrassment.
Scream and Run (good): Unable to help herself, $Me starts running around the Bee Yard, waving her hands and screaming. The bees are so surprised by the noise and the wind that they lift off $Me and return to their hive. $Me is relieved but exhausted and has to lie down in the break room. She gains a body skill point from all the running.
Scream and Run (bad): Unable to help herself, $Me starts running around the Bee Yard, waving her hands and screaming. The bees are thrilled with the rushing wind and high-pitched noise and ride $Me around the yard like a carnival ride. When $Me finally stops in exhaustion the bees get bored and return to their hive. $Me spends the rest of her shift slumped in a corner and loses 100 simoleons in pay.

Lvl 5: Research Lab Assistant
Q: $Me is excited to be assigned to a project studying the newest discovery in the ant world: DeodorANTS. Discovered when a famous Jungle Entomologist tripped and fell into a giant Carnivorous Fern, DeodorANTS have the ability to mask any surrounding odors, including the nauseating smell of the Carnivorous Fern. $Me’s job is to help find out why they do it. Could it be a reaction to sleepiness? Or perhaps it helps them find other cute DeodorANTS to flirt with? Which idea should $Me test?

Sleepiness (good): $Me believes that the scent masking ability of the DeodorANTS is part of their bedtime routine. To test this $Me decides to put a stinky onion next to the DeodorANTS habitat and then darken the lab and play soft lullabies over the stereo. After a few minutes, $Me notices that she can’t smell the onion at all, even when she leans over and puts her face right next to it. $Me has proven her theory! Taking credit for $Me’s discovery earns her Research Supervisor a promotion and as a result, $Me is promoted to the vacant position of Research Supervisor!
Sleepiness (bad): $Me believes that the scent masking ability of the DeodorANTS is part of their bedtime routine. To test this $Me decides to put a stinky onion next to the DeodorANTS habitat and then darken the lab and play soft lullabies over the stereo. The darkness is peaceful and the lullabies are very soothing… $Me wakes up an hour later when her Research Supervisor barges into the room and turns on all the lights. $Me is scolded for bad experimental procedures and sent home for the day without pay. *Note: your sim will still get paid but the same amount will be deducted.
Flirting (good): The ideal habitat for DeodorANTS is part marshy bog and part rotting wood which can be pretty stinky and $Me suspects that their smell-masking ability is part of a dating routine. She puts a few new brightly colored DeodorANTS into the environment with the others to see what happens. All the DeodorANTS gather in a group and take turns masking the surrounding smells: the ants that are the most successful are immediately surrounded by other ants who giggle and flash their abdomen lights. $Me has discovered the purpose of the DeodorANTS unusual ability! She gets a mention in the footnotes of a Very Important scientific paper and a bonus of 250 simoleons!
Flirting (bad): The ideal habitat for DeodorANTS is part marshy bog and part rotting wood which can be pretty stinky. $Me suspects that their smell-masking ability is part of a dating routine. She puts a few new brightly colored DeodorANTS into the environment with the others and waits to see what happens. Unfortunately, nothing happens as all the DeodorANTS ignore each other in favor of rolling in the marshy bog and eating rotten wood. $Me's theory is completely wrong and she loses a logic point.

Lvl 6: Research Lab Supervisor
Q: One of $Me’s lab assistants approaches her with a question. The Rhythmic Yellow Moths are huddling in groups in the corners of their environment and refusing to interact with any of the lab assistants. She’s concerned that they’re either bored with the usual routine or possibly plotting an overthrow of the lab. Should $Me advise her to add new items to their environment or take precautions to prevent a mutiny?

Add items (good): $Me advises the Lab Assistant to add a few natural pieces of driftwood as well as a new agility course to the Rhythmic Yellow Moth's environment. It's a success! Soon there are yellow moths darting in and out of the agility course and peacefully sitting and meditating on the new driftwood. The Lab Assistant is in awe of $Me's understanding of moth psychology and $Me gains a point in Logic.
Add items (bad): $Me advises the Lab Assistant to add a few natural pieces of driftwood as well as a new agility course to the Rhythmic Yellow Moth's environment. The moths barely notice and remain in their huddle; flapping their wings in three quarter time and humming. They are writing a new song! $Me misses the chance to document this new behavior and is embarrassed in front of her lab techs. She goes home humiliated and loses a logic point.
Prevent a mutiny (good): $Me is alarmed by this new behaviour and orders new security precautions for the lab. That night the security camera catches the Rhythmic Moths attempting to leave their enclosure and recruit other bugs to their cause. Because of $Me's precautions they aren't successful and the lab remains peaceful. $Me receives a bonus of $250 for preventing damage to lab equipment.
Prevent a mutiny (bad): $Me is sure that the Rhythmic Moths are plotting something! She orders the previously open environment to be fitted with locks and monitoring cameras. The Rhythmic Moths are hurt and demoralized by this evidence of mistrust and immediately quit their jobs. $Me is forced to let them go and pay the recruitment costs for a new set of moths. She loses $500.

Lvl 7: Veterinary Entomologist
Q: A small child brings in her pet centipede, Socks, and tells $Me that Socks started limping yesterday during obedience training. She's worried that Socks may have to miss competing in the SimCity Bug Show. $Me pulls out her Bug-O-Scope and carefully examines Socks' many legs. It looks like the 26th leg on its left side is painful. It's probably just a sprain but it might be broken. Should $Me treat it for a sprain or a break?

Sprain (good): Based on the centipede's movements, $Me decides the leg is just sprained. She recommends several days rest from obedience training, as well as a drop of Better Bug Pain Relief in the centipedes' water. On the follow-up visit, $Me is delighted to see Socks walking easily on all 70 sets of legs. When Socks wins a gold ribbon at the SimCity Bug Show, the child thanks $Me in her acceptance speech and business at the clinic almost doubles! $Me gains a logic point.
Sprain (bad): Based on the centipede's movements, $Me decides the leg is just sprained. She recommends several days rest from obedience training as well as a drop of Better Bug Pain Relief in the centipedes' water. Three days later the child brings Socks back, pointing out that it is using the leg even less than before. If $Me had taken an x-ray to begin with she would have noticed the leg was broken. As a result Socks is in a cast and misses competing in the SimCity Bug Show. The child is heartbroken. $Me loses a mechanical point.
Break (good): Better safe than sorry. $Me takes the extra-small x-ray machine out of a drawer and takes a picture of Socks' leg. It's broken but a cast will fix it right up in time for the Bug Show. Socks spends two weeks in a hot pink cast but is healthy enough to compete in - and win! - the SimCity Bug Show. $Me gains a logic point.
Break (bad): $Me takes the extra-small x-ray machine out of a drawer and takes a picture of Socks' leg. It's hard to make out the details on such a small picture, but $Me decides better safe than sorry and carefully puts a hot pink cast on Socks' painful leg. Socks spends the next day chewing off the cast and then runs through the obedience course several times, proving that the leg wasn't broken, just sprained. $Me loses a mechanical point.

Lvl 8: Bug House Zookeeper
Q: $Me has decided that a good way to increase interest in the Bug House without disturbing the bugs in their natural environments would be to set up live-cams. Two of the least well-known types of bugs in the zoo are the Tufted Pink Grasshoppers, who prefer to live in long grass and semi-darkness; and the Root-Eating Carnelian Ants who live underground and avoid light. Should $Me set up a night vision live-cam for the Grasshoppers or the Ants?

Grasshoppers (good): $Me decides to set up the night-vision cam to watch the Tufted Pink Grasshoppers. It turns out that these shy little bugs are adorable! Watching their little pink tufted heads bobbing around in the long grass turns into a favorite activity for bug watchers around the world and a toy company even starts selling Tufted Pink Grasshopper soft toys. Traffic to the Bug House increases and $Me gains a creativity skill point.
Grasshoppers (bad): $Me decides to set up the night-vision cam to watch the Tufted Pink Grasshoppers. After a few days it becomes obvious that the grasshoppers just spend their time hanging out buried in dirt so deeply that only the little pink tufts on their heads are visible. Live-cam viewing numbers drop to zero and $Me's bosses aren't happy. $Me loses a creativity point.
Ants (good): $Me decides to set up the night-vision cam to watch the Root-Eating Carnelian Ants. Their environment is built like a large ant farm and viewers can clearly see the bright red ants not only chewing on roots but then having spitting contests to see which ant can spit chewed root the farthest. Soon, sims around the world are holding root-spitting contests with their friends and traffic to the live-cam triples. $Me capitalizes on the ants' popularity by creating t-shirts that say,"I Spit Like An Ant, Ask Me How" and gains a charisma point for marketing genius.
Ants (bad): $Me decides to set up the night-vision cam to watch the Root-Eating Carnelian Ants. Their environment is built like a large ant farm and viewers can clearly see the bright red ants chewing on roots. And chewing. And chewing. It turns out that watching bugs chew is pretty boring and live-cam viewership drops to zero. $Me's bosses aren't happy and $Me loses a charisma point.

Lvl 9: Jungle Entomologist
Q: While exploring a new section of jungle, $Me discovers a swarm of beautiful golden winged bugs. They are zipping through the air in strange, complicated patterns and their wings make a gentle buzzing sound. $Me can't wait to share her discovery with her colleagues! Should she take pictures of the bugs and go back to camp immediately or mark the location on her map and continue exploring?
Take pictures (good): $Me quietly pulls out her camera and takes some pictures of these strange, metallic bugs. After a few pictures she backs away slowly and then heads back to the main camp to share her findings. Her fellow Jungle Entomologists are amazed at what they see and follow her back where they all take notes on the new bugs. The new bugs are named Golden Winged $Me's in honor of the sim who discovered them and $Me received a bonus of 1,000 simoleons!
Take pictures (bad): $Me quietly pulls out her camera and takes some pictures of these strange, metallic bugs. After a few pictures she backs away slowly and then heads back to the main camp to share her findings. Unfortunately, all $Me has managed to photograph are picture of her own thumb. Without any proof her colleagues are skeptical and ignore her claims of finding a new bug. $Me spends the rest of the trip sulking in her tent and loses $1,000 simoleons in pay.
Mark map and continue (good): Using a red crayon, $Me draws a circle on the map where the bugs can be found and then starts pushing through the jungle again. Just past the golden bugs she finds evidence of a trail that leads to some fascinating ruins, including large carved statues of the bugs she just saw! $Me's discovery is a hit with Entomologists and Archaeologists alike and she is asked to speak at several conferences. She receives $2,000 in speakers fees!
Mark map and continue (bad): Using a red crayon, $Me draws a circle on the map where the bugs can be found and then starts pushing through the jungle again. After several uneventful hours she returns to camp and tells her colleagues about her discovery. Unfortunately, by the time they all get there the bugs have moved on and the other entomologists are skeptical of her claims. $Me loses a charisma point.

Lvl 10: Emeritus Professor of Entomology
Q: $Me has been asked to speak at the Annual Entomologist's Awards Dinner. Entomologist's are known for their great sense of humor so $Me decides to open with a joke. Should $Me use the classic "What do you call a bug that hesitates before biting something?" or the untested "How do bees brush their hair?"
Hesitating bug (good): "A nervous tick!" An oldie but a goodie, the joke still gets great laughs. The gathered entomologists appreciate $Me's sense of humor and respect for tradition and $Me receives the "Entomologist With the Mostest" award of 3,000 simoleons!
Hesitating bug (bad): "A nervous tick!" There's a smattering of polite laughter but most entomologists have heard this tired joke since their Bug Scout days and were hoping for something better. $Me hurriedly wraps up her speech and sits back down in disgrace. $Me has lost a charisma point.
Bees (good): "With a honeycomb!" The entomologists are delighted with this new bee joke and sit laughing and re-telling it to each other for a few minutes. Some of them even write it down to tell to their friends later. $Me is a huge success as a speaker and wins the "Entomologist with the Mostest" award of 3,000 simoleons!
Bees (bad): "With a honeycomb!" $Me's joke is met with a moment of silence and then all the entomologists look confused and start talking to each other loudly. One stands up and demands an explanation from $Me: "I don't get it, bees don't have hair!" $Me fumbles around trying to explain but then gives up and sits down in shame. $Me loses a charisma point.
