The Sims Tips & Tricks

If you are using the genie lamp, and the genie makes a mistake and in the dialogue box it says that there is a fire, immediately pause after pressing OK. Look for where fire usually is in your house (or where the genie has created fire before - its always in the same spot) and use the move_objects on cheat to delete the fire.

First put on the cheat box on (ctrl+shift+C). When the misery clown comes, enter move_objects on, and then get the hand tool pick up the clown then press delete. Beware because he still might return.

When your Sims carpool to work, freeze the game and do the "move_objects_on" cheat. Then pick up the car and surround it with walls where ever you want a garage the car won't be able to escape. If you want to get fancy you can make a driveway with road tile. You can have more fun and catch the school bus!

Save your game. Use the "move_objects on" cheat and delete your Sim, and then go to live mode and click on that characters icon to bring them back. Once they are back they should have all of their motives maxed except for Room.

If you get the misery clown, then just buy the clown painting, and put it over a fire. Keep making your Sims light a fire beneath it, until the carpet sets on fire. This will burn the painting and the clown with it. Look for the clown to watch it burn, baby, burn.

First, make a Sim with no personality points, and then make a yellow potion with the chemistry set. When they drink it, their personality will be completely opposite. They will have: neat 10; nice 10; outgoing 10; active 10.

Build your neighborhood and fill every house w/ at least 4 people. Then play the other houses and make them throw a party to meet your main person. Have them invite them over later. Have them make friends with you so that their moods go down, not yours. Save the game and when you go back to your house you will have them as friends. You can do this with every house. In every neighborhood.

If you want easy cash or unlimited snacks, make your Sim "Have a Snack" from the refrigerator. When the yellow ring goes around the action and your Sim is taking the snack from the refrigerator, stop that action. Although your Sim is still taking the snack out of the refrigerator, you will not have to pay for it. Your Sims instead will just place the snack on the floor. After this, use the "move_objects on" cheat and delete the chips. This way, you will get $15 without paying for the snack.

Make a swimming pool, send he/she in and then take the ladders and diving board away.

Push Ctrl+Shift+C, type move_objects, push Enter and then tell one of your Sims to get on the bull. When it starts to move hit the buy button grab the bottom out from under the Sim and the bull part of the device will float and buck fill free to take pictures.
