Get A Life Chapter 1: Easy money
If your house is completely clean when you finish,
Mom will give you about 50,000 Simoleans.
Get A Life Chapter 2: Cleaning house
A quick way to get the house cleaned and the computer,
television and espresso machine repaired is to enable the "Free
mode" and "Midas mode" codes. Then, use the monkey
butler. This will not disrupt your room bar.
Get A Life Chapter 2: Upgrade house

Enable the "Midas mode" and "Free mode"
codes. Once everything is done in Chapter 1 and you get a new
house, fix all of the items first. Get rid of all of the garbage
then press [Start]. Go to build mode and destroy everything
in the house (including all of your property.). Make your house
the size you want. Make the room, bathroom, living room, and kitchen
as desired. Then, put in all the items.
Get A Life Chapter 2: Sell warning
In this chapter you will temporarily live in Dudley's
or Mimi's home. Before you move out, do not sell anything in the
house because you will just have to buy it back.
Get A Life Chapter 2: Easy money
Sell all the items in the house, destroy the house,
upgrade the furniture and rooms, and complete all goals. In the

call from Malcolm. He will give you 77,000 Simoleons.
Get A Life Chapter 3: Get promoted
Enter build mode and put in either the "Mini Pool"
or the "Wet Tangle". Then have Dudley or Mimi (depending
on the sex of your character) swim in the pool. Eventually they
will get the two body points that are required for them to get
promoted to the next job level.
Get A Life Chapter 3: Throw a raging
party
Turn on the Stereo. Then, turn on the Bug Zapper. .
Set the Aromaster Whifferpuff Gold to any smell. Next, order pizza
or cook some hamburgers and invite the party members. When they
arrive, start eating. After they are done eating, go in the hot
tub or watch television. Make sure you have the best television,
or the hot tub that seats four people. After a while a screen
appear that reads "This party rocks!". You can now get
a roommate.
During story mode you can throw a raging party by having one of
your Sims play the guitar. Everyone will come into the room and
clap or boo the person that is playing. After 30 seconds a message
about you having a great party will appear.
If your Creativity and Cooking skills are at the maximum, this
should be easy. Serve Dinner, call friend to throw party, greet
one person (do not talk, just greet), then play guitar. People
should either listen to you play, or eat the food. It should not
take more than two hours to get a raging party afterwards.
Get A Life mode: Job promotions
When you are living with your mom, build up your stats
until they are full. To do this, enable the "Free mode"
code and buy everything for studying Cooking, Mechanical, Body,
Logic, Creativity, and Charisma. After your stats are full, make
about eight family friends. An easy way to do this is to get your
friendship level with someone to about 75, until you can hug them.
Continue to hug them until the rating is 100. After you have full
stats and eight friends, move out and you will not have to worry
about job promotions, and should get through levels quickly. Note:
The higher your friendship rating is with someone, the longer
you can go without calling them. You must have family friends
to get promoted.

Aromaster Whifferpuff Gold
The Aromaster Whifferpuff Gold costs 2,500 Simoleons
and is a good item to get your Sim's moods up quickly. Even though
it might break a few times, it is one of the top items that a
thief will go for. It has four settings:
Peppermint and Juniper: Increases Comfort
Lavender and Majoram: Increases Fun
Juniper and Rosemary: Increases Energy
Rosemary and Peppermint: Increases Room
You can use multiple Aromaster Whifferpuffers at time. The best
way to use it is, before you go to sleep put it on the second
setting. When you awake, your Sim will be in a very good mood,
with at least three green bars as he/she has a full energy bar
and a full fun bar.
KraftKing Wood Working Table
You can put Mom to work building Gnomes with the KraftKing
woodworking table. Any money you make from this home crafts project
can be pocketed when you leave.
Life Of Crime career path
Prevent a thief from escaping in Get A Life mode to
unlock the Life Of Crime career path in all modes.
Military career path
Use the following routine when following the Military
career path in Play The Sims mode. Go to sleep at 7:00 p.m. Wake
up at 2:00 a.m. Take a shower. Use the toilet. Have a quick breakfast.
Come home, then repeat process, watch TV, play pinball, and go
to sleep.
Easy money
Enable the "Free mode" code, then go to your
house and buy a lot of expensive items. After that, save then
restart your system. Do not enter the code again, then sell your
items back for more money. The best item to do this with is the
Monkey Butler Tree, which is worth 15,000 Simoleans.
Enable the "Free mode" code, then move your Sims into
the cheapest house available. Then, buy a lot of expensive items
(such as the Monkey Butler). After this, evict your Sims from
that house, but do not empty the house. By doing this, your Sims
keep the "assets" that they had, which turn into money
for them. The house will then cost something similar to 99,999
Simoleans. To counter this, enter build mode for the house you
moved your Sims out of, then sell off the Monkey Butler and other
items you put up. The house will be cheap again. Move your Sims
back in and they will have a lot of money.
Enable the "Free mode" code, start a game, and buy fifteen
Heart Hot Tubs. Note: These must be unlocked in Get A Life mode
first. After buying them, save the game and quit. Turn off the
Xbox to disable the code. Return to the same game and sell all
the Heart Hot Tubs that were bought to get up to 99,999 Simoleans.
Notice that when you pay bills, buy something, etc., your money
will not decrease.
Buy a workbench and heighten your Mechanical, Creativity, and
Body. Keep making Gnomes. If you have a very high status, you
should be able to sell each gnome for at least 100 Simoleans.
Making gnomes only take about one to two seconds each if you have
a very high status.
Have a Sim with a high creative level. Start a painting or a sculpture.
After it has been started, tell that Sim to stop, then have another
Sim (with no creative points) finish it. Sell it, and you will
still get as much money as you would if the Sim that originally
started it had also finished it. You can even have your kids finish
your painting and still get as much as if the parent did the painting.
In Play The Sims mode, take an empty square of land and build
on it with just the wall tool. When there is no more room, leave
the neighborhood. Move in a family (at least 13,405 Simoleans
required), then sell all the walls in build mode. After that,
leave the neighborhood. You will have regained the 13,405 Simoleans,
plus an additional 4,285 Simoleans
Enable the "Free mode" and "Midas mode" codes.
Go to an open location to make a house. Buy about 50 Monkey Butlers,
and move the family in. Save the game, then return to the main
screen. Disable the "Free mode" code, then return to
the Monkey Butler-infested area. Sell them all for a large profit
then make your own house.
When you finish a chapter, the phone will ring. Answer it and
you will get lots of Simoleans from someone named Malcolm. The
higher the chapter, the more money you will get.
Enable the "Free mode" and "Midas mode" codes
in neighborhood mode. Go to a deserted plot of land. Move in a
family, and fill the place with as many Persian rugs as possible
until the net worth is very high. Then, save the game and go to
the neighborhood screen and evict the family. After evicting your
family, bulldoze the house that you just built. You can repeat
this as many times as desired.
Enable the "Free mode" code. Go to Get A Life mode and
remodel your mom's home. For example, get her a big screen television.
Then, move out of your mom's home and she will give you money
for all of the remodeling that was done. The more you remodel,
the more money you get.
Stat management
The best stats to use are maximum Active for studying
and no outgoing, so your Social bar stays up longer. Put the rest
on "Nice", for friends. If there is anything left over,
put them on Playful. It is easier to get your Fun level up by
playing pinball than to read a book for five hours.
Outgoing: The higher you put this stat, the faster your Social
meter goes down.
Active: The higher you put this stat, the longer you will study,
work out, etc.
Nice: The higher you put this stat, the faster it is to get a
friendship rating up.
Playful: If this is high, you like to play games. If it is low,
you like to read books (not study).
Neat: The higher it is, the more things you can clean by yourself.
For example, tell a Sim with no Neat to clean a plate and they
will pick up one plate. Tell a Sim with maximum Neat to pick up
a plate, and they will pick up all the plates.
Easy skills
Evict a family. When this happens, their moods go up
immediately after you move into another house. Once you get in
a house, study, work out, etc.
If your energy or any other stats get low, evict yourself from
the house. Reenter the house and all your stats will be renewed.
Sell everything in the house except a mirror, guitar, and a pool.
Enable the "Free mode" code and leave the game running.
Your Sims will build up Charisma, Creative, and Body points by
themselves. The only other thing you will need to do is eat and
use the rest room. The best time to do this is when you are living
with your mom.
Easy Body meter increase
Get a weight set. Grab a cheap table and set it by
the weight set. Note: Make sure your Sim can get on the weight
set. When the table is in place, buy an aroma machine and place
it on the table. Enter Live mode and have your Sim turn on the
aroma machine to Juniper and Rosemary, then work out. You will
notice your Sims energy will stay the same as he or she works
on its body without getting tired.
Easy Fun meter increase
Buy a Whifferpuff Plus and place it next to your bed.
Set it to Lavender and Marjoram and your Fun meter will drastically
increase as you sleep.
Quicker energy
Go to build mode and select the second fireplace. Put
the fireplace in your room. Next, buy the most comfortable bed
(Modern Mission Bed) and put it one or two spaces in front of
the fireplace, but not directly in front of it. Then, buy two
square tables and put both of them on each side of the bed. Next,
buy the Aromster Whifferpuff "Gold" and place them on
both tables. Before going to bed, turn on the fireplace, and set
both Aromsters to Juniper and Rosemary. You can be fully rested
after about four hours and be ready for work.
Get the bed with the highest Energy status (10) and get all your
Sims except the one you want to get more energy. Get him or her
into the Napoleon Sleigh bed that you bought earlier. When he
gets in, the time will get even shorter and he or she will get
energy quicker.
Get A Life mode: Easy Body Point
Start Get A Life mode, and your character dreams. After
his or her kiss with the other Sim, quickly swim in the swimming
pool and ignore your mate. Keep swimming until you receive one
Body Point. Note: Do this quickly, before your mate angry and
the game ends. Note: You can only receive one Body Point.
Easy Get A Life mode
Enable the "Free mode" code. Buy an exercise
machine, mirror, chess table and chairs, and paint board. While
in your Mom's house, fill up all your stats.
Choose a desired career and build all up your work stats while
living with your Mom. Do not worry about making friends yet. Look
at the last career promotion to see what also needs to be raised.
Even though your Mom will drive you up the wall, you will get
through the next stages easily.
Unlock everything in build and buy
mode
Get to chapter 2 in get a life mode. Complete all things
except for getting promoted to career level 2 and move out of
the house. When you have done that, save the game and return to
the main menu. Enable the "Free mode", "Midas mode",
and "Party Motel mode" codes. When you enter The Sims
mode, all of the things are now unlocked in build and buy mode.
Cheaper houses
Enable the "Free mode" or "Midas mode"
code. Go to Play The Sims mode. If a character does not have enough
money to buy a house, bulldoze a worthless house and move that
family in the field; or if there is a place with no house, move
the family into that area. Pause game play and start building
your house however desired.
Do not lose things when purchasing
a house
Enable the "Free mode" code, then choose
a blank address (a place with no houses). Then, enter family and
build your house.
Getting married
To get married easily, invite a Sim of the opposite
sex. But first, always throw a party and pick the Sim you want
to marry. "Greet" them, "Talk" to them, then
when they want to leave you will know their phone number. After
dark, call that person. "Invite" them over. If they
say "Sure", wait for them. Get to know them more. When
you get the chance to "Flirt" with them, do so. Sooner
or later she or he will fall in love with you. The next day (or
perhaps on same day), get your Sim in a good mood (three green
bars or more). Then, "Serve Dinner (Lunch, etc.)". When
they are done eating as much as they desire, watch television.
While they are watching television, highlight your "Guest"
and give them the command to "Watch TV". They will "Watch
TV" with you, talk to you, and their comfort will rise. Next
,"Talk" with them, "Tell Jokes", "Hug",
"Dance", etc. If your Sim is still in a good mood (three
green bars or more), you will have the option to "Propose"
to the Sim you want to marry, Sometimes they will not accept (you
will hear warning sirens) and they will state a reason. Do whatever
they wanted you to do. When you fulfill their requests, "Propose"
again. If you are lucky, they will accept. Note: You can only
do this in Play The Sims mode.
Having a baby
Create a family in Play The Sims mode. Get your Sim
married. Then, evict your family and them back. Take the married
couple to the bathroom and kiss. It may require four or five kisses
for it to work. A little box will appear and ask if you want a
baby.
Same sex couples can also have a baby. Instead of getting the
"Do you want a baby?" question, after awhile you will
get a call from an adoption agency asking if you want a baby.
Quiet baby
When the baby is crying, the only things that you have
to do to make it fall back to sleep is "Feed" and "Sing",
in that order.
Losing baby to Social Services
If you have a baby, you will notice that it cries frequently.
When you click on it, "Play", "Feed", and
"Sing" will appear. If you just sing to it, it will
go to sleep. If you do not sing, play, and feed it every time
it cries, a message will appear about a day later that states
"You are neglecting your baby. If you do not pay attention
to it soon, it'll be taken away from you." If you continue
to neglect it, a day or so later, a woman from SimCity Social
Services will appear and take your baby away. There is nothing
you can do to stop this once she has entered your house.
In Get A Life mode, get a girlfriend. You may get a call from
City Hall asking if you want to adopt a baby. Make a room for
it and take the door off. Let it starve. After a few days a City
Hall agent should arrive to take the baby away. With the door
gone she cannot get through. However after awhile she will pass
by it and take the baby.
Blue baby
Neglect your baby until the Social Services message
appears. Continue to not feed it, and the woman will appear to
take your hard-earned baby. When she enters the house, hold [L1]
to pause time. Go over to your baby carriage, zoom in, then change
the view so you can see where the baby's head should be. You will
see a blue pillow and a little blue baby head.
Disappearing baby
If you moved out of a house and into a new one while
your baby is still in a carriage, it will disappear. Because you
can pick it up and move it around in Buy Mode, it is considered
a piece of furniture. When you normally move, your furniture does
not go with you.
Kidnapped baby
When a thief comes to your house, he or she will steal
the most expensive or closest thing in the house. If your bedroom
is first room in your house, and your baby is next to the bed,
a thief can enter and steal your baby.
Baby to child
After about five or six days, a baby will evolve into
a child. The stats and appearance of the child are absolutely
random.
Keep child home from school
If you do not want your child to go to school and do
not want to keep hearing the bus honk every few seconds, just
let your child stand in the middle of the road where the bus waits
everyday. Then the bus will not appear, and your child will not
go to school.
Getting money after missing work
If you miss work one day, do not answer the phone.
Instead, wait until the next caller, who should call in later.
They will give you some money.
Cancel newspapers
Let your newspapers pile up for five days until you
have five of them on your yard. On the sixth day, do not collect
any and you will get a message stating that you will not receive
any more papers because you have too many. Note: If you hire a
maid, she will pick up the papers and you will continue to receive
them.
Bills on the ground
Sell all your tables and counters, then put plants
on top of your dish washer, trash compactor, etc. Your Sim will
then put all the bills that are received on the ground. This looks
very funny if you throw a party while the bills are on the ground.
Never pay bills
This trick only works in Play The Sims mode. If you
do not want to pay your bills, evict your family from the house
every two days then move them back in.
Keep Major Dormo longer
Call Major Dormo, then put a fence around his tree
house after he leaves it. He will remain with you much longer,
but will still eventually disappear.
Attack a Sim
Insult a neighbor or your roommate until their name
is down to -100. Then, go outside and display the action options
(where you can choose to kiss, hug, insult, slap). You should
now be able to attack the person. Do this about three times. Your
roommate will have had enough and pack up and leave for good.
Killing Sims
If you want to see the Grim Reaper and put a lot of
tombstones in your backyard, enter build mode and add a fireplace.
Fix up the house somewhat. When prompted to move in a family,
create one and make several Sims. Have all of your Sims enter
the room with the fireplace and have one of them light it and
stand very close. The fire should catch them all if they were
close enough. The Grim Reaper should show up to claim the family.
Once he does, if there is one Sim remaining have them call the
fire department. the Fire should go out and there should be several
little tombstones sticking up out of the ash. Enter build mode,
grab all of them, and place them in the backyard. If desired,
you can add some flowers and other objects. They will become a
grave. To get rid of the last Sim, lock them in a room with no
windows or doors. They should die in three and a half days. Repeat
the grave steps when the Grim Reaper reappears. if you want a
very large graveyard, repeat all the steps. Note: This will not
be a good home for families, as they will be mourning all the
time.
Note: You can also use the previously described steps to kill
Dudley/Mimi. When they die, you will continue the game as usual
(no game over). You can also kill your Mom, but you will have
to start again from your last save.
Get a fireplace and surround it with a lot of flammable objects.
Then have a party and invite a lot of people. Light up the fireplace,
and it will eventually burn down the house. Note: Leave the house
immediately after you light it.
Place your Sim in a small room, with about enough room for your
Sim, a large number of trash cans, and a fireplace. Put your Sim
directly next to the fireplace. Then, put trash cans all around
the fireplace. Have your Sim light the fireplace. In about an
hour, the trash can will catch on fire and kill your Sim.
Start Play The Sims mode. Once you find a family, do not teach
the father how to cook. Make the father cook something and he
will accidentally burn his food and start a fire. He will die
from burning in the flames. Have a child come out at midnight
and you will see the father walking around as a ghost. Look around
the house, backyard, or outdoors to see the ghostly parent. Note:
Make sure the kids are at school during the fire, and also have
the mother there to call the fire department to put the flames
out.
Alien abduction
Buy the telescope and use it for too long. Your Sim
will be abducted and disappear. It will reappear some hours later,
with different stats.
Nude Sim
Note: This is easiest to do in Play The Sims mode.
Get a fire place, then buy a rug and place it under the fireplace.
Guy the heart shaped spa. Light the fireplace, get in the spa,
and wait until there is a fire. Before your Sim gets out and starts
jumping around because of the fire, cancel everything but the
spa. Wait until the spa burns up. If done correctly, your Sim
will appear in another part of room close to the wall, and will
not have their clothes on. Note: The censor will still appear.
Enable the "Third person view" code. Have a Sim get
in the bathtub and press [Black]x3 to get into third person
view. Cancel the bathtub order when they are in it by pressing
[Y] and then [Up]. If done correctly, you should see
their rear.
Topless female Sim
This trick requires two Sims and the Heart Shaped Bed.
Enable the "Third person view" code, then make the two
Sims play in the bed. Make sure the Sim you are not controlling
is a female. Press [Black] to look through the Sim's eyes.
As you are getting into bed, use the Right Analog-stick
to make your Sim look down at the female's Sim's chest. Note:
You will notice that she has no breasts. Note: This may take a
require a few attempts.
Purchase a dresser and a vibrating bed. Let your female Sim enter
the bed under the vibrate command. Get her out and quickly select
the bed. A new "Rest" command will be available. When
she gets in the bed, move the dresser next to her side of the
bed so that she cannot get out. Wake her up. Every time she tries
to get up, you can see topless. This happens about once every
twenty game minutes. Hold "Speed" and to see this about once
every five seconds.
Go into the hot tub with a female Sim in first person view in
Get A Life mode to see her topless.
Zombie Sim
Kill a Sim and wait for the Grim Reaper to appear.
Plead for his or her life. The Grim Reaper will either ignore
your plea, turn your Sim into a Zombie, or revive your Sim. If
your Sim was revived, kill him or her again, then try again. The
outcome is random. Note: Do not save the game if the Grim Reaper
kills your Sim. Reload the game and try again. Zombie Sims do
not have any features different from normal Sims other than a
green color.
Regain needs
Skip work every other day, to the point where they
call you but you will not get fired to regain your fun and social
levels. While you are home, call over some friend(s) and play
pool or a cooperative game.
You can use the Wiffer Puffer Gold to recover a certain part of
your needs, such as comfort, fun, etc. according to the one you
use. This is especially useful near where you read or work out.
Buy a Bug Zapper from the electronics section of buy mode. Place
it somewhere outside. Have an adult Sim touch the Bug Zapper (highlight
and select the Bug Zapper for the options to appear). Then choose
the "Touch" option and your Sim will get shocked by
the Bug Zapper. Do this a few times and your Sim's energy level
will be boosted, but they will need some comfort points.
Enable the "Free mode" code and buy two Aromaster Whinpuffer
Golds. Put them in your bedroom. When you want to go to bed, set
the Aromasters to the third setting down. Get in bed and hold
[R]. You should get energy quicker.
Broken items
This trick can be one in Get A Life and Play The Sims
modes. If something breaks down and your Sim is too depressed
to study Mechanics, simply sell it and buy a new one. Note: If
fixing the object is one of your goals, this will not work.
Quitting a job
There are two ways to quit a job. The first is to keep
skipping work until they fire you. The other is to first get a
job, then look for another one. Instead of taking one, select
"Stop Searching".
Take house over from Mom
Enable the "Free mode" code, then trap Mom
in a small room. Give her regular appliances like a small bed,
refrigerator, toilet, and stove. Then, make walls surrounding
the yards. Her house is now yours.
Never leaving handyman
Buy a group of lights and wait for about three of them
to burn out. Build a room with no access to it. Call the handyman.
He will arrive and fix the other lights. Turn on your television
and sit on your couch. The handyman will fix all but the one light,
then he will sit on the couch and watch television for about a
week until you remove the walls to the light.
Zoom closer to Sim
Enable the "First person view" code. Begin
a game in Get A Life or Play The Sims mode, then switch to the
first person view and press [White]. You can zoom the camera
in closer to the Sims themselves. Note: This may take require
a few attempts.
Use the following trick to make this work work consistently. Make
sure the Sim you are seeing through looks down when you press
[White]. If your Sim is looking straight or up, the zoom
feature will remain the same or go further back.
SimCity reference
Order a pizza. When the pizza delivery boy arrives,
he should say "I made it here from SimCity in 20 minutes!"
Sims on computer
Enable the "First person view" code and
buy a Meet Marco Computer. Have your Sim play the computer. Switch
to first person view and you will notice that he or she is playing
the Sims computer game.
Glitch: Invisible head
Enable the "First person view" code. Hold
[Up], [Down], [Left], or [Right] while in
first person view and you will see your Sim with no head. If your
Sim wears glasses, you will see them floating.
Glitch: Disappearing censor
When Roxy tells you to play in the hot tub with her,
go to her and enable the "First person view" code. When
you get in the hot tub, press [Black]x3 and you will see
her topless.
