The player can also interact with The Grouch through Autoplay Ads. He offers services when a Sim cooks or makes an item that costs simoleons, making you watch an ad and then making that item free. The grouch also offers extra Simoleons and EXP points when the player collects from an apartment, building, or house.

Your Sim can't stop there, though. After making The Grouch a present, you decide to, yet again, sing carols with him and tell him jokes. Finally, his machine explodes and he leaves town.
