Easy money without cheats:
--------------------------
You have multiple options, of which writing novels is the one that can make you very
rich, very fast:

1.Start writing novels on your computer. Write fiction novels as they take the least
  time. They will not bring you too much cash.
2.When you write your skill will automatically advance. If your skill is high enough
  you will be able to write more novel types / genres.
3.The most money can be made from "Romance Novels". You get royalties for 6 weeks once
  you finish a book.
4.With the "writing" skill maxed out, you can make around 40.000 every week, which is
  more than 34.800 you get by purchasing all neighborhood businesses and takes less
  time to achieve.
5.In three game weeks you should have super high-speed writing, 9/10 novels as best-
  sellers and 100.000


Aging:
------
Instead of using a cheat code to toggle "aging on" and "aging off" like in The Sims 2,
you can de-activate the age in "Options", then "Game Options".


Clothes:
--------
To get new clothes, you must first have to buy a dresser from "Buy Options". Once there
click "Plan Outfit". You can put a total of three different clothes for each type (formal,
every day, athletic, etc.)


Easy money:

Simoleons


Making friends easily:
----------------------
It's really simple to be friends with the whole neighborhood, just watch these steps:

1.Buy a guitar then play it to learn how to play guitar.
2.Keep playing until you reach 5/10 level which gives you the ability to "play for tips"
3.When you have the ability, go to the park with the guitar in your inventory.
4.When you are in the park, click on the guitar in your inventory and select "play for tips"

People watching you will become your friends if you keep playing. I guess the more your
guitar skill is, faster they become friends of you.


Free bookcase skills:
---------------------
Buy a bookcase, then have your sim start to study. Interrupt the action so that the book
it placed on the ground, then simply sell the bookcase. The book can then do everything
the bookcase could have done for free.


For Poor Families:
------------------
The trick is that no matter how many times you use an object, if you sell it in the same
day, you can get all your money back. So if your Sim is poor and needs body points or
something, buy a body machine and keep selling it back to refund all your money.


Disgusting Faces:
-----------------
There is a glitch in character creation mode where you can make absolutely disgusting
faces. The trick is that if you go to the face designing area and you select a face
part such as the eyes and max out all the sliders one way or the other, then go to a
 different face part and select one of the PREDESIGNED parts, and then come back to
the eyes, the sliders will have reset in the middle, but the eyes will still look the
same. This works for all of the face adjusting tabs. Exploiting this, you can make eyes
the size of dinner plates, cheekbones 4 feet long, and a HUMUNGOUS nose, to name a few.


Saving Pizza:
-------------
Have a sim call for pizza. When the pizza delivery guy comes DON'T accept the pizza!
The pizza delivery guy will eventually leave the pizza on the front porch, and the
pizza will never get stale. You can stack as many pizzas as you want, so if your sims
get hungry, just tell them to get a pizza from the front porch.


Use your own videos for the TV:
-------------------------------
It's possible to watch your own videos on the Sim-TV. You must put the video you want
into My DocumentsEA GamesThe Sims 2MoviesBroadcast (the TV sender you want). If you
then turn on the TV in the game you can watch it! The video must be .avi-clips and the
clips shouldn't be larger then 128x128 pixel also it shouldn't have more then 15 frames
per second.


Listen to music included with game:
-----------------------------------
First, open your The Sims 2/TSData/Res/Sound directory. The names of radio stations,
plus a few more including Build mode and Neighborhood music should be here in *.package
files. Copy and paste the file corresponding to whatever you want to listen to into
another folder. Rename it from [File].package to [File].mp3. You can now listen to the
sound/songs included in the file.


Listen To Mp3's On Sim Radio:
-----------------------------
First get whatever Mp3's you want to put on the game, then open up MyDocuments/EAGames/
TheSims2/Music/(whatever RadioStation you want your song on). Then, Drag your MP3 into
the folder. Now, start Sims 2 then go to options menu, then music settings, then the
Radio Station, then pick witch songs you want the radio to play. You can now listen
to your favorite songs in your Sims game.


Turn off Aging:
---------------
In the options menu you can choose the gameplay settings. When you uncheck the box
before "Aging" the sims won't become older anymore. You can also slow aging down in
this menu by setting the lifetime bar. It's changeable from 25 days too 960 days.


Cooking Skill Exploit:
----------------------
Note: This glitch requires a TV with a cooking channel and a video game system. First,
have one Sim sit down and watch TV. Switch the TV over to the cooking channel so that
the Sim can start earning its skill point. Now, have a second Sim go over and start
playing video games. You should now notice that although the TV is displaying video
games, the first Sim still has the skill meter above its head! Simply allow this Sim
to sit there until it decides to go do another activity on its own. After that, the
skill meter should stay above its head until you start another cooking skill activity.
As an added bonus, you can train two skill points at once! i.e., Go work out and both
the athletic and cooking skills will continue to rise.


Using the "testingcheatsenabled" Command:
-----------------------------------------
This testingcheatsenabled cheat allows you to do several useful things when used
properly. First, hold CTRL+SHIFT+C (CTRL+SHIFT+WindowsKey+C for Vista) and enter
this code: testingcheatsenabled true

Easter Egg: EA Games:
---------------------
When your Sims take a video game break, you can zoom in on the TV and identify
various EA games on the tiny screen.


Strange faces:
--------------
There is a glitch in Create-A-Sim mode that allows to you to make very strange faces.
Go to the face designing area. Select a face part such as the eyes and max out all
the sliders one way or the other. Then go to a different face part and select one of
the predesigned parts. Return to the eyes. The sliders will have reset to the middle,
but the eyes will still look the same. This works for all of the face adjusting tabs.
You can then continue to max out the size of the eyes and repeat. You can make eyes
the size of dinner plates, very long cheekbones, huge noses, and more.


Testing cheats:
---------------
Enable the testingCheatsenabled true code, then enter one of the following codes at
the console window to activate the corresponding cheat function. You may now also

Electronic Arts game references:
--------------------------------
Have the video game system and have your Sims play it. Zoom in on the television
to see that the games they are playing are various Electronic Arts titles.


Avoiding death:
---------------
Go to Pleasant Rest Graveyard. Near the gate is a bush called "Death Flower Bush".
Harvest the flower from it, and keep it in your Sim's inventory. If you die, that
Sim will give the flower to the Grim Reaper and be resurrected. Although the flower
will not reappear there again, if your Sim has Level 7 Gardening, they can plant
the "Unknown Special Seeds" found in the graveyard and some other places that have
a chance to grow as a Death Flower. Note: Having the Green Thumb trait to revive
the plant may help.


Saving money:
-------------
No matter how many times you use an object, if you sell it in the same day you can
get all your money back. If your Sim is poor and needs body points or something else,
buy a body machine and keep selling it back to get a refund of all your money.


Gender of Babies:
-----------------
Must have a pregnant female.

* Eating apples will increase your chances of having boys! (i.e. 3 apples = 3 boys)
* On the other hand, eating watermelons will increase your chances of having girls!
  (i.e. 3 watermelons = 3 girls)

To have increased chances of twins or triplets have one or both parents have the
lifetime reward of fertility treatment. I heard this from someone else. I had my
pregnant female eat three watermelons to test it out and it worked! She had 3 triplet
girls.


Baby Tips:
----------

* If you want a girl baby, eating 3 watermelons while pregnant will increase your chances.
* If you want a boy baby, eating 3 apples while pregnant will increase your chances.
* Reading pregnancy books from the bookstore will help in having a happy baby.
* To have an increased chance of having twins or triplets, have one or both parents have
  the lifetime reward of Fertility Treatment.


Learn four skills at once:
-------------------------
Read "Easy Cooking, Gardening, or Fishing Skill" by Tony Ortale. Keep repeating Tony's
steps until each skill channel has been viewed. The Sim will keep learning the three
skills as he or she goes on about their daily life, and four when doing skill activities.


Learning all guitar songs from books:
-------------------------------------
Have your Sim reach Guitar skill level 5. Have a level 5 book in their inventory, click
the guitar, then select "New Song" to learn it. After reaching Guitar skill level 6, do
the same thing with a level 6 book. Repeat the process until the Sim reaches Guitar
skill level 10, and they will know all songs that were taught.


Force Twins:
------------
Bring up the cheat console (See above cheats), click on a pregnant Sim to control it,
then enter this code in the console to have twins: forcetwins


Rubber Duckie:
--------------
Buy the Ducksworth of Bathington and place this in your bathtub. Now everytime a sim
uses this bath, they get the Duck Time moodlet which gives a +15 boost for four hours.


Have a Ghost Baby:
------------------
How to do it:

* Set one of your Sim's traits to Kleptomaniac (Sim must be female).
* Go to graveyard.
* Wait until Sim steals remains or tell sim to swipe something (remains must be male).
* On the second day since stealing grave and putting it in home, the ghost will appear
  at 11:00pm and disappear at 4:00am it will appear every other day.
* Socialize with ghost every night it appears until you are at best friend ghost will
  then begin appearing every night.
* get fertility reward.
* Confess attraction to ghost.
* ask to snuggle on bed, kiss.
* Try for baby every night until you start throwing up.
* Congrats! You're now having a ghost's baby!
  (It will be born as a ghost that you can control).


Advance Age Phase:
------------------
* To change your sims age phase (toddler, child, teen and so on) without waiting for
  the transition to come on its own, buy a birthday cake from the grocery store.

* Place this somewhere on your lot. Click on it and select "Have Birthday". Then choose
  which sim you want to age up. This is a good way to get past the annoying baby stage.


Painting Brilliant Paintings/Masterpieces:
------------------------------------------
Having trouble painting a brilliant painting or masterpiece? Try making a stylized
still life when it is unlocked. Choose Genius and make it the largest possible frame,
and you will have a MUCH higher chance of getting a brilliant painting/masterpiece!


Ghosts in your house:
---------------------
Start by going to the graveyard. Once there, click all the tombstones. With any of them
that say "Pick Up" or "Take", do so. Once you are sure you have all the tombstones you
can get, return to your house. Place them outside somewhere in your backyard. You now
have a 70% chance of a ghost or two, or even a whole party of ghosts visiting your house
each night. To improve your chances, write in the epitaph "Here Lies <Sim's name>, The
One Who Returns".


Duck Time moodlet:
------------------
Buy the Ducksworth of Bathington, and place it in your bathtub. When a Sim takes a bath,
they will get the Duck Time moodlet which results in a +15 boost for four hours.


Creating brilliant paintings or masterpieces:
---------------------------------------------
Create a stylized still life after it is unlocked. Choose "Genius", and make it in the
largest possible frame. You will now have a much better chance of getting a brilliant
painting or masterpiece.

----------------
Have a Sim reach the top painting level to have the ability to create masterpieces. One
of the paintings that can be created is that of a creature from Spore.


Maternity clothes are customizeable:
------------------------------------
Before your sim is showing have you sim go to the dresser and plan outfit and the "ugly"
outfits are in there (the dress-like one is under full outfit well the other one is just
is under "top" the other ones like formal, sleepwear are under the other categories) when
you find the outfit you (your sim) can wear (dress-like outfit) customize it and it will
work.


Live long, live short:
----------------------
Heres an easy way to make the life of your sims longer, or shorter! First click on the
large button on the tool bar on the bottom left hand side, then click on options. On one
of the tags in the options you'll find the sims life spand button. You can change the life
spand of your sims. Make it short and sweet or Long and Epic. The only down fall is that
the other sims that you have no control of will not age for a long time or short time like
your sims. So if you want to age with your friends its best to just set the sims life spand
to normal.


Increase lifetime happiness points:
-----------------------------------
Go into the lifetime rewards for the selected Sim. Hold [Ctrl] and click rapidly near the
chest icon to increase the points.


Clean Dishes:
-------------
Too lazy to take the time to clean up dishes? Just drag the empty plate in to the Sims

dish washer, its fast and efficient.

The game will not allow this, and state that the location is out of bounds. If you try to
build a wall diagonally in this area however, even though the game will state that the
location is out of bounds, it will allow you to build it. The wall will be stuck here
and the game will not let you delete it. The only way to remove it is to use the
"move_objects" on code.
