Hints
Two player mode
Go into freeplay mode (if there are two or more people
in the house) or into the levels. Have the second player press
[Start] and a bus appear if you are in the levels; or the
second player will become one of the family members in freeplay
mode. Note: In freeplay mode you need at least two Sims in the
house to make this work.
Boosting a low budget
At Mom's house, Mimi's place, or Dudley's trailer,
buy things until your budget drops below $100. Wait about an hour.
When the phone rings, answer it. You will get free money. Repeat
this as necessary.
Raising skills
While living with Mom, do not run out and get a job
after you have completed the first few goals. Instead, stay around
awhile and use that time to build skills. Mom will nag you, but
just select "Okay" and keep doing everything else. Make
sure to keep yourself happy and entertain/talk/joke with Mom to
keep your relationship up to par. When you have your skills where
you want them, move out. This will make things much easier. You
will then be able to concentrate on your job and relationships,
rather than skill building.
Notice that when you are at your Mom's house at the beginning,
your Sim's energy and social do not go down, and will remain at
the halfway point. Using this, you can raise your skills faster.
First, have breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Then, use the toilet,
take a bath, watch television for fun and comfort, then finally
work on whatever skill you want. After repeating this routine
before having breakfast, lunch, or dinner, clean up the plates.
Do not call a maid or anything else, as it is a waste of money.
For extra money, do creative skills on your paint set and sell
your paintings when done. This will give you a lot of money when
you are done with your skills. Do all goals except getting a job.
Do not sleep or talk to your mom while doing this. When done with
Cooking, Mechanical, Creative, and Charisma, buy a chess table
for Logic. When you are done with those skills, sell the chess
set (whole refund). Then, buy the weight lifting machine for the
Body. When done with all skills, get a job and move out.
While waiting for your baby to become a child, you are not allowed
to leave your house. This is a great time for building your skills
up, improving your relationships for your career, and doing whatever
needs done around the house.
To raise your Body skills much faster, work out on the Rock Climbing
Wall. Your Sim will get Body points going up the wall and also
when going down the wall.
To successfully gain skills, put fun in between your tasks, such
as Study, Read, Study, Dance, Paint. Note: Do not them do dancing
and watching television very long before going on to the next
task.
If you have a lot of stats to improve (for example, 5 Body and
4 Mech), move to your Mom's house and stay there for a while.
The bus will not come for work, and you will not get fired. You
now have time to raise your stats. Also invite your friends over
and keep your relations up if needed. If you get your stats up,
keep friends, and stay connected, you can move out in a week (Sim
time) or later and continue with your life.
In free play mode, create the Sim(s) you are going to use, but
only as kids. Move them into any lot. Enter the house, then press
[Start] to save and quit. Next, go back to Free street where
you have the family you are going to use and evict them. Then,
go to "Edit Family" and edit the kids you created. You
can now raise all of their personality points. Make them adults
and dress them however desired. Then, move them into a lot where
you want them to live. If you look at their skills, they will
already have some.
Fun rating
To always have a good Fun rating, buy the Aromaster
and place it in your Sims bedroom. Each time your Sim goes to
bed, turn it onto the second selection, "Lavendar & Marjoram".
This will boost your Fun meter while your Sim sleeps. You need
to have at least 150 Simoleans in order to run the Aromaster.
Also, if you get robbed, the Aromaster will be one of the first
things stolen; have a burglar alarm in place.
Making friends
Invite a friend over, then get into a hot tub, preferably
the Love Tub. Then, ask a friend to join you. When he or she gets
in, place items around the Love Tub. The Sims will not be able
to leave, and will keep talking to each other.
Keeping friends
Get married when possible, then instead of getting
the friends you need to get a promotion with your Sim, get the
friends with the Sim you are married to. The relationship that
the Sim you are married to has with other Sims never decreases.
You can get friends and not have to worry about keeping them.
Having a baby
Your Sims must be married and the Love Bed must be
unlocked. Pick your female Sim and tell her to "Sleep".
Then, bring the male Sim and tell him to "Play In Bed".
After you finish, kiss her and you will be asked if you would
like to have a baby. Note: Your relationship must be 100%.
If you need to have a baby as part of a goal, in free play mode
make a family with just a male (if playing a female) or a female
(if playing a male). Then, make them have a child. Save them,
then move them in on 3 Free Street. Build a small nice house then
go back under your Sim that need to do this goal. Have him or
her get in love and then marry. Make sure this is the last goal
that you need.. This way, you can just move out and move on with
the game. When you move in with the next family and view your
goals, "Get married" and "Raise a baby to child"
will be already be checked.
Use the following trick to have a baby on a low budget. If you
have not unlocked the Vibrating Bed, use this instead. Tell your
Sim to call your mate over. Then give them a gift, kiss them,
hug them, then kiss them again. You have to do this immediately.
That means they must be lined up at the top. You can do this without
being married. Your Friendship meter must be high.
Career for completing the game faster
To complete the game much faster and easier, start
it with the Mad Scientist career. Work on your Mechanical and
some Body skills, then after completing that career, get a new
job in the Counter Culture career. Work on your Cooking and Charisma
skills. While doing these careers, you can stock up on the "important"
skills. For example, you must work on your Mechanical and some
body Skills in the Mad Scientist career so you can get full bars
for those, full bars of Cooking for the Counter Culture career,
and Charisma for both.
Never work
In Bustin' Out mode, the people who you live with (who
you can control) cannot get fired. If you want them to stay home,
just let them. This can be very useful if you need them to clean
up, or need them to do some other things.
If you do not want to keep a job, use this strategy. Stay with
your mom to raise your skills then get a job. Make sure that you
raise Creativity, Mechanical, and Cooking (slightly), because
those are most important skills. Get a job, and if desired, get
promotions to unlock places. When you get to a place that you
think would suit you do not go to work. You will lose your job
and perhaps a skill point, but you will keep playing. Since you
already unlocked the places, you may now work on the necessary
things. If your creativity and mechanical are at 10 (Logic also)
you can make gnomes, sculptures, and mutant plants that will help
you gain money. Once you have full skills in everything, work
on making friends. Then, get a job and complete the other goals.
This will enable you to unlock everything.
Live alone
Use the following trick if you want to take the day
off and control another Sim, and do not want to mess with it.
When your roommates go to work, leave and return after the time
they come back from work. You will be able to live alone. Alternately,
you can build a small room in the back yard, with a door. Go into
it, call the other person over, and leave once they get there.
Then, go to build mode and delete the door.
Catch a robber
Enable the "All objects unlocked" code. Buy
a motion sensor alarm and place at your front door on the wall.
If you have a backdoor, do same thing there. This security costs
only 300 Simoleons, instead of buying walls at the corner of your
street and putting burglar alarms there.
Build a wall at each corner of the map that a burglar can approach
from and place a burglar alarm at every wall. The burglar will
be caught before entering the house.
When you first move in to someone's house, buy the Sims home alarm
systems and put them on both sides of the doors, outside. This
will stop the robbers from getting anywhere near your possessions.
Easy promotions
Enable the "Cheat gnome" and "Raise
motives" codes. Depending on where you live, make family
friends with who you live with and many visitors. Then, go to
work and if others are there, make them stay home. They cannot
get fired.
Get a bigger room
When at Dudley's trailer, go to the master bedroom.
Then, sell the door that leads to the smaller room so that there
is just a wall. Next, make a door at the top right corner so that
there is a place you could walk into the smaller room. Then, decorate
both rooms' wallpaper and carpet to be the same and you will have
a bigger room.
Raising a baby
When you have a baby, do not play with it ever, as
it does nothing. If you feed it then sing, it will stop crying
for a couple of hours.
Aromaster
Use the following trick to never have to fix a broken
Aromaster. Save the game before you turn it on. If it breaks,
quit the game without saving and resume from your saved game.
Instead of turning it on again, sell it then buy it again.
Labs
To find out where contaminating spores are coming from
when living at Shiny Things Labs, visit the Goth Manor and steal
a fern. This will unlock the Giant Fern.
Eliminating Senator Landgrabb
To eliminate Malcolm, you invite him over while you
are raising a child. Keep him around until your baby cries.
Buy a wall or fence and trap him until he gives up.
