THE SIMS 2 TIPS & TRICKS
Control crystal
Start the game and make sure you are on the "Interact" slot. You will see a crystal on the touch screen. Slide your finger across the touch screen. The crystal will start spinning.
Getting things finished quicker
To get things done quicker, change the internal clock on your DS system. This trick works well if you want to get rooms built faster. Instead of waiting the normal eight hours, just set your clock ahead eight hours. If you need money get guests to stay, set clock forward the desired number of hours or days.
Refill sanity meter quicker
In the basement of the hotel, turn to your right. Go down the hall and enter the door at the end of the hall and you will be in a freezer. A piece of meat will be hanging from the ceiling. Go up to it and punch it. Your sanity meter will refill faster than normal.
Free milkshake
Go to the part of town where all the cows are found. Go up to the cows, not the bull, and tip it over. After tipping it over and it is lying down, select "Milk" to get a milkshake. If you just milk the cow without tipping it, you will get plain milk. You can sell it for 2 Simoleons at the store, drink it, or give it away as a gift.
Additional aliens
To get more aliens on your save, set the system clock forward by one minute. Load your saved game and walk around for a minute. Save the game, then set system clock back to real time. The bellhop should say that you are a time traveler and that the aliens have launched a full scale attack. When you see the clock, touch it or you will lose all your sanity.
SSX 3 reference
Go to the shop in Strangetown. When you enter the shop, go to the left side where you see boxes on a shelf. Look closely to see the box art from SSX 3.
Stop wires from getting chewed
In order to have the mole or worm stop chewing on the wires, spray it with water several times.
Walk slowly
Set the Nintendo DS system time ten minutes behind. Then, go back into the game. Somebody will call and say that you are an alien. You will now be able to walk very slowly. Take a shower to make the effects wear off.
Scammers
There are people who will scam who orders the penthouse. Every time you beat a scammer there will be another one. All they do is take your money away from you.
Rat Cave
When you go in the City Hall, do not bother building the "Rat Cave". Tristan Legend will build it at no charge when progress in the game, whereas if you do build it, it will cost 3,000 Simoleons.
