Hints:
Stop! Thief!:
When you are being visited by a burglar, immediately call the cops, then go
stand in front of the "Exit" (the front door). The thief can't escape,
the cops will arrest him and you will get money for making the arrest possible.
This will cover your losses. This works best if you only have one "house
exit". Otherwise the thief wil have several escape routes and it won't
work.
Note: It's a good thing to have a phone next to the bed, so that you don't
have to go far to alert the cops. Also it's good to have a big house. If your
house is small, you won't always make it to the front door before the thief
escapes. And remember to move away from the door when the cops arrive. They
can't enter the house if you're blocking the entrance.
Hey DJ..!:
If you want new songs for your radio, you can play your own MP3 songs . There
are directories in in your Sims game folder titled latin, rock, country, and
classica. Just copy an MP3 and put it in one of these directories. Now you can
hear your own songs while listening to your sims radio.
Fire! Fire!
Put a smoke detector over the oven or fire place, so when there is a fire, the
Fire Department will come right away.
Magic Garbage Bag:
The following trick will save the time needed to take the garbage to the street.
Buy the 30 simoleon trash can. Order your Sim to empty it, then cancel the order
just as they remove the bag from the trashcan. Then, order them to pick up the
mess that they just created. Your Sim will return the full bag to an empty can.
Repeat this each time it fills and trash will never have to be brought outside
again.
Less Bills:
Keep an unpaid bill until the mailman delivers the next set of bills. Pay the
original bill when your mailbox is filled with the next set of bills. This
should cause the bills inside the mailbox to disappear.
Bump off a Disliked Character. Get Free Stuff:
You can kill yourself in this game. You need to be a terrible cook, no cooking
skill points at all. Then, when you cook food while in a bad mood, the stove has
a chance of catching on fire. When it does this, don't call the fire department
or get them to come in any other way. Just tell the guy to walk as close to the
fire as you can. The fire should spead in different directions. The fire can
spread onto the person. Then eventually the person will shrivel away in the
flames. It will show a little notice telling you that the person has died.
When the fire is gone you should see a little silver urn. If you go into buy mode and move it outside with the hand icon it will turn into a tombstone. You can select other people to go to the urn/tombstone and make them cry over it, it doesn't matter if they even knew the person, occasionally at midnight exactly, not every night, a pale green figure of the person that died will walk through the house. If you select a new family to move into the house they will get to keep everything the dead guy owned except for the stuff that was burnt in the fire.
