Hi there - I am soo excited about this game! I have all of the other LFW games and can't wait to load this one.

Question - can you play effectively without the guide?

......whine..... Hubby "gave me permission" (don't ask but he is self employed and times are Awfulllll!)to put the $20 on the (remaining) CC - but there is no way I can 'ask' for another 10....

Need advice before I actually buy this game - - - fingers crossed that it is self-explaitory- - - - Thanks!
