Accessing Moon Base Zeta
Purchase a green meteorite off the Internet shopping. Then, with the meteorite still in you pocket, go to Sim Quarter and use the telephone booth. The moon base, where you can buy the Rocket Bed and Cheese Modulator, is now open. Note: Complete the first group of missions before attempting to open Moonbase Zeta. If it is still not accessible, then complete the secret missions and try again. Also, if it says "Phone home" when you use it, that means it worked and you can use it.

To get to the moon base, buy a meteorite from the Internet. Keep it in your pocket and go to the red telephone booth in SimQuarter. Go inside, and select "Home". This will take you to the moon base.

After you defeat the Red Man in the mission, make sure you have one inventory space remaining for the locket. Otherwise, you will get the complete locket but if you play soul music after that he will give you the second half of the locket again, and you will not be able to get rid of it.
