The treble clef and bass clef are the most widely used clefs in sheet music. The position of the notes on the sheet music are different depending on the clef. Become good at sight reading music that uses one clef before moving onto a different clef. The treble clef looks like , while the bass clef looks like a giant apostrophe with a colon . From bottom to top, the notes on a treble clef staff are E, G, B, D, and F. From bottom to top, the notes on a bass clef staff are G, B, D, F, and A. As you read the music, imagine the melody and rhythms in your head. Take a couple of minutes and locate areas that are difficult to play. Difficult parts may include quick transitions or a series of notes that you're not used to playing. Knowing when certain beats or parts are coming up will help you play more fluidly. Make a notation on the sheet music before these parts come up or try to memorize the flow of the song so that you can prepare for difficult sections. You can also listen to the song to give you an idea of how it should sound. Half notes, whole notes, and quarter notes will provide the rhythm for the song. Before playing the song, practice clapping or tapping the rhythm. This will help you understand the rhythm of the music before you try to play it. For instance, a whole note is 4 beats long. Count to 4 and tap your foot every time you say "one." This is how long you should hold a whole note. A half note is 2 beats long. Count to 2, and tap your foot every time you say "one." Quarter notes are 1 beat. Tap your foot 4 times over 4 seconds to copy the rhythm of 4 quarter notes playing in a row. If the music is longer than 1 page, open the pages so that you can see both pages at the same time. Use pieces that are 2 pages or shorter so that you don't have to flip through the pages as you play. If you know where the notes on the piano are without looking at your hands, it'll make sight reading much easier. Glide your hand across the keys and feel for the black keys. If you need to play a C, D, or E, feel for the group of two black keys. If you need to play an A, B, F, or G, feel for the group of three black keys. This exercise will build up your muscle memory so that you know where to position your hands while you play.

Summary: Stick to a single clef when you practice. Study the music before you play it. Tap your foot while reading the music to understand the rhythm. Set the music in front of you and sit at your piano. Touch the black keys to correctly position your hands.

Admitting that what you did was wrong helps them see that you're sincere in your apology. Explain that you've thought about your actions and regret lying to them. As you do this, don't make any excuses for your behavior. You could say, "Lying to you was the wrong thing to do," or "I know that lying was wrong." Recognizing the other person's feelings helps you show them you're truly sorry. Consider how you would feel in the other person's place. Then, tell them that you understand that they might feel this way. Say, "If I were in your place, I'd feel confused and unsure if I could trust me. I'd probably never want to talk to me again." Say that you're sorry, and be specific about what you're sorry for doing. Make sure you use I-language so you keep the blame for your actions on yourself. Additionally, be careful that you don't minimize the apology by adding excuses. For instance, say, "I'm sorry that I lied about the kiss," "I'm sorry that I lied to get credit for your work," or "I'm sorry I took your necklace." Don't make excuses like, "I'm sorry that I lied about the kiss, but I just got carried away," or "I'm sorry I took your necklace, but you never wear it." After you've apologized, tell the person you hope they'll forgive you. Then, wait for them to decide if they can forgive you or not. If the do forgive you, work on mending your relationship. If they don't, tell them that you understand and are open to talking in the future. Be patient with the other person. They may want to think about their decision, so give them as much time as they need. If the person is a family member or partner, they might give you partial forgiveness since it's hard to walk away from you. In this case, it's best to keep apologizing until they totally forgive you. Apologize for what happened every time the subject comes up.

Summary: Tell them that you know lying was wrong. Acknowledge how the other person might feel. Tell them you're sorry for telling the lie. Ask the person to forgive you for lying.

If you need an alien pregnancy quickly or are simply impatient, consider forcing the abduction to occur. There are two ways of doing this, depending on what expansions you have. If you have FreeTime: Get the "Summon Aliens" lifetime reward if your Sim is a Knowledge Sim. You should be able to have your Sim summon aliens through the telescope, which greatly increases the chance of abduction. If you haven't installed Seasons or any later expansions: Enter boolprop testingcheatsenabled true, then shift-click the telescope and hit DEBUG - Get Abducted. This will not work if you're running Seasons or later.
Summary: Consider forcing abduction.
