Garbage Bag of Holding In the early stages of The Sims life time is often wasted emptying the trash and bringing it to the curb. I found that if you fill the cheap 30 simolian trash barrel you can order your sim to empty it and just as they remove the bag cancel the order. Then order them to pick up the mess that they just made and they will return the full bag to an empty barrel, which will now be empty. Do this every time it fills and trash need never be brought outside to the curb again. This saves a lot of time. Paying the Bills Simply keep a bill, unpaid, until the mail carrier delivers the next set. When your flag is up (your mailbox being full of-- what else, more bills), pay the first one (i.e., bring it out to the mailbox.) When you do this, the newer bills disappear. Using this cheat, you will only have to pay every other bill, instead of every one. Building a Castle in the Clouds Large second-floor extensions to a house, or even an entire house in the air, can be built totally unsupported by the following method. First, lay out a complete ground layer of pillars. You'll need lots to form a surface to build on. Next build your second-floor home on top of these pillars. It's important that you do ALL the structural work at this point; get all the walls placed and floors put in. Don't forget the stairs! Next, simply switch to the ground floor, and delete all the pillars. The house will remain standing, completely unsupported by anything except thin air! Voila! A castle in the clouds for your Sims! Raise Sims Mood Bars When using the move_object cheat you can restore your Sims mood bars by getting your Sim to sit in a chair, pausing the game and deleting the chair that your Sim is in. Your Sim will disappear. Unpause the game and click on your Sims face icon and your Sim will reappear with some restored bars. Livin' Large Expansion Cheats Full Traits Create a Sim with no traits (0 nice, 0 active, etc.). Make him/her a yellow potion, and have them drink it. Your Sim will have a personality inversion, with all traits now at 10. 99 Neighborhoods Note: This procedure involves changing a game file; create a backup copy of the file before proceeding.

Earlier I seen that someone was mentioning if you want to kill your sims, get a fireplace. A easier way is to get the fireworks kit, put it indoors and light it. it will burn the sims and the house. Block the doorways if you want to kill them. If you delete the mail box. you get no mail. Don't delete the garbage bin though. the sims will just throw the garbage everywhere. If you move the garbage that is outside by the mailbox closer, or even inside instead of your original garbage. it will never need to be emptied. saves time. if this doesn't make sence. i will explain it better. or even use pictures. How to get a new baby When the social workers want to take it away. All you had to do is activate the move_objects on. Then when the social workers come to take the baby, click the buy furniture icon. Use the hand tool to select the social workers and delete her away!. Run back the live mode and you will get a new baby. - from Khairul Irwan Hj Ibrahim kelumpo@yahoo.com
