The Sims 2 Hints

Instead of forking out $3,500 for the rat cave, tristan legend will give it to you for free when you need it! The rat cave is located in the basement on the right of the freezer.

When Optimus Alfred is staying in the Penthouse, he will lock the door in it whicj hides the blueprints. To get into the penthouse, you must find five mechanical skill points.
Mechanical skill points are often found in the freezer.
After you get the blueprints, you must defeat Optimus Alfred.

Once you find the mummies pyramaid in the desert, he will ask you to find his sarchophagus. Use the metal detector to find it.
Once you have dug it up, he will ask you to put it in a safe place.
The only safe place is in your room.

When you are abducted by aliens and laid back in your room, just get your squirter gun from your pocket and use it. Then run to the shower or bed and get your sanity up. This way, you won't be slow and waste time.

Near the end of this game, Frankie Fusuli will ask you to bury a chest in the desert. Later Penelope will ask you to go back and find it.
The chest is found on one of the sand dunes.
It is not manditory to find the chest though. Even if you don't find it, Penelope will.

THis is just a bit of fun
1. Get a bar of chocolate from the spotty guy at the Sax Lounge.

2. Go to a cow and choose 'Give Gift' Option and give it the choc...

3. It will go brown!

4. Then choose option 'Tip'.

5. Then choose option 'Milk'

6. Youve got yourself a brown cow and a chocolate milkshake!!!

If you are waiting for something to build , dont foward time. it will only create an alien invasion for 3 days!!!

1. Build the Delux Room
2. Wait or fastfoward eight hours
3. go into the bathroom and go up the stairs
4. Go to the little edge and run off
5. Run around anywhere and you'll have fun!
6. Move the show to a spot and fly into it!

Once defeating Optimus Alfred...Congradulations! You have won the game! After this there are no more new missions. Only the ones of missing items or alien attacks. The penthouse will be free. People can now stay in it. You may also cange around the penthouse furniture. You will stay at the hotel. Your car will never be fixed.

Okay, one way to make some more money is to play cards at the casino. Plus, sometimes guests and friends will call you saying something about the casino's prizes being doubled; when that happens, go back to the casino and you will get twice the amount of money from playing cards.
Another way to get money, is to take the metal detector and go to the desert and find many different expensive items such as spaceship parts, copper, silver, and gold bars, and mummified aliens. All of these can be sold @ the store, but the bars can be processed into money in the vault and you can take the mummified aliens and do an autopsy, selling the organs for $$.

When you buy the cute ghost painting at the store, hang it up somewhere in the hotel. When Frankie Fusilli is checked in at the hotel, go to the painting and choose "admire". A Cute Ghost will appear around the hotel until Frankie Fusilli checks out of the hotel. When you try to restrain, calm down, or cheer up someone the ghost will appear beside you and help you.

To time travel, set the ds clock to a different time. When you go back to the game the concierge will say something lik,"You wicked time traveling freak! The aliens have launched an invasion!" then wherever you go there is aliens. If you need to change the ds clock, for example, day-light savings, then after changing the clock, avoid playing the game for the next 30 mintues.

When u go back in time or go forward in time then go back then start the game , the concierge will call u a wicked little time traveling cheater then a screen comes on with emperor xizzle and his minnions go through the whole thing and don't touch the touch screen cuz if u do u'll walk very slow and u'll have 2 take a whole lot of showers to get back 2 normal... it usually works n if u still walk slow, then just use the vaccuum everywhere u go untill u walk fast again... xoxoxoxoxo meg

If you have built a room and you dont want to wait 8 hours you can:fast forward 8 hours on skip time on tour ds play another game and go back to sims or if your on the bit where you get 5 macanical skill points there will also not be any alians

Alien invasions only happen if you go back in time :P Also, if you need skill points or whatever, time travel is a really good way to get them. And you go through the game WAYYY faster. Suckish hint, I know. But ohhhhhhhhhhh well.

When you have some customers in your hotel you can get a lot of money without wait. First put some customers in the hotel then saved the go to the Nitendo DS screen and chance the date for like one week and when you play again they will say that some customers already pay.

Talk to a character often and soon you will befriend him.
Once you befriend him, they will tell you a secret.
This secret can be found under there picture on the menu screen.

If you want lots of skill points, the next time you see one, squirt it with your water gun. pick it up and leave the room. go back in and it will be there again!! squirt it with your water gun every time before you pixk it up, or else it will go away. it really works!!!

Ok. Before I tell you how to get a ghost buddy I will tell you what it does. When you talk to someone every now and then the ghost wil take some sanity away from the person you are talking to.

To get the ghost you need to go to the store when you are very, very, very far into the game. Buy the cute ghost painting. Go to you suite. Hang the painting on the wall. Admire it and... VOILA!! you have a ghost buddy.

By the way the ghost buddy does not follow you around and will not be on screen all the time. He will just appear every so often. And as long as you keep the the painting up you keep ghost buddy. But... should you take it down he will disapear...

When you are changing the time back change it one minute before the time you need, the go on to sims 2 and it says the aliens will have come. But then save it turn it off change the time again to one minuteafter the time it already is then go back on sims 2 and the aliens will have gone.

When somebody tells u their couch is missing put on the Rat suit and go the desert where you will see it. now walk up to it and it gives u the full option menu available in your room or guestroom.Select SIT and your person will start walking in circles u now the STAND UP option is available, select it and you will disaper for 1 second!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D
P.s. save before 'cuz ur game will stay like that for a looooooooooooooooooong time.

This is so funny! Last time I went to the basement and that mummy guy (I forgot his name) came down the stairs. While walking, he slowly sank down the stairs. It's was so creepy! See it for yourself why don't you
