Sims, The Hints

If you sell your phone evry time you miss work you don't get fired just re-buy the phone the next time your car for work comes (if you plan to go to work).

To get your almost free house, first you must enter the FREEALL cheatcode. Then go to Play The Sims mode.

Once you have done that, create a family or just choose an old one. Go to a blank spot and purchase it for nothing. You will still have the same amount as before.

Then, you enter the blank spot and then go to build mode, where you will be able to build your dream house

Keeping a Sim's social meter up can be a nightmare. A good way to avoid this is to make the outgoing trait as low as possible (mine are usually zero). A shy Sim may take longer making friends, but an outgoing Sim constantly needs companionship (which takes up a LOT of time). With this trait at zero, once you fill up the Social meter, you can go three or four days without a visit from ANYONE!

Also, for me, the most difficult ability to fill is Body. If you make your Sim's Active trait high, they'll take to the treadmill like a duck to water. You can also guarantee that watching the Action channel on the TV will always provide some fun. Making Active high works well if you want your Sim in the military

If you're like me, you absolutely hate trying to make and keep all these ruddy friends to make it to the top of yuor promotion ladder. Personally I prefer to get into the military career track. It's usually there at the beginning, and it doesn't require you to have that many friends at all, which is a nice thing when it comes to having to juggle a dozen things at once in this game. 8 is the maximum that you will ever need in this track.

For the record, Life of Crime is 12, and Xtreme is 11 -- all others are above this amount.

When the baby is born make sure you play with it stright away otherwise when you want to play with it another time it will just keep crying. if you want to move the cradle you have to wait until the baby is asleep and nobody is touching it then go into the menu and move it. the thing i do is get a bedroom built when iam making the house and make it for a child then as soon as you have the baby it will have a bedroom of its own then when it developeds from a baby to a child its will have the bed there ready for it. NOTE the baby will need feeding around about every 4 hours so make sure you take it in turns so you dont get to tired. if you ignore the baby more than twice somebody will come and take it away. make sure at least 1 of you doesnt have a job so you can look after the baby. when the baby turns into a child it will sometimes have a painting on its face if you want to change this just buy a vanity mirror than sell it as soon as you hve changed it.

In level 4 if you ever see Bobo the Bum walk past invite him in and then click on him and click give food. By doing thins you will unlock a two player game.

If u want to get loads of money all you have to do is type in freeall and get lots of stuff then you get it all 4 free put all the expensive stuff in ure house and save it evict all the players and items demolish house there you have it!!!!!!!!!!!

Omfg dont use the freeall cheat it doesnt work well even tho everything u buy is free ur bills will be like 1000-4000 i tryed it and i ended up getting all my stuff reposesed

Make sure you have a woman in ther family and that you take good care of your sim before work time, then when she returns from work she will bring home a promotion or 10,000 Simelonens.
