Hint: Controlling a dead Sim:
Kill your Sim. There are a lot of ways to do this, but starting a fire is the fastest. Once your Sim is dead switch, to direct control (if not already in it). As a dead Sim you can walk through walls and talk to Sims. Terrorize, Wail, and Possess are social options dead Sims can do. Unfortunately you cannot actually possesses Sims out of social mode. These social options have no effect on other Sims, but are funny. You can also challenge the Grim Reaper in fiddle challenge. You have an unlimited number of chances to try this. If you win, your Sim will become alive again. You can also pay the Grim Reaper 100 Simoleons for a Back To Life Ticket.

Alternately, help Billy complete his gold goals at Sunset Canyon or have Phil complete one full career.
Kero and adriane972.

Tranquillity Falls: This level is rather easy. To move onto the next level, you must fulfill all of Larry's wants to put him in a platinum mood, and do the same with Chantal. After both are in a platinum mood they will tell you where Jungen House is located, and it will be unlocked.
Kero.

Jugen House: Here you fulfill Toothless Joe's aspirations until your Sim gets "Visit New Location" as one of their aspirations.

Other fruits are harvested on a Frood Tree.
Golden eggs can be received from Chicken Checkers game.
Fish can be harvested from the Manilla 1000 Aquarium
Some vegetables can be harvested from the GenoLife Garden Hutch.

Hint: Hidden food:
There is more than just the food you can make. For example, there is food that give your skills a boost, food that helps you in love (romance Sims only for their goals), and food not in the list. For example, you can make a pizza.
Shadowknight.

Hint: Free harvested food:
Use the following trick if you are in need of food and have very little money. Buy an item that can have food harvested from it. Harvest the food from it, sell it back, then buy another. This will keep you from having to spend money on food. Unless there is more than one sim in your house, you do not have to worry about the other Sim wasting money buying non-harvested foods.

Hint: Hunger satisfaction:
The more expensive refrigerators carry more foods. They also add a bonus amount of hunger satisfaction.
roses4jen.

The more cooking skill you have, the higher the hunger satisfaction.
roses4jen.

Hunger is the one need that if left unmet can kill your Sim.
roses4jen.

To quickly fulfill your Sim's hunger even with low cooking skills, make a meal using Beef, Pork, Lamb and Potatoes.
Kero.

If you are low on money and do not have enough to eat, sell your refrigerator, stove, etc. and buy a Fruit Punch Barrel. It will satisfy your hunger about 98%. You can just go to "Drink From Tap" and it will do the rest.
Russ Glenn.

Hint: Aphrodisiac effect meal:
Ostrich and Passion Fruit; or Carrots, Lime, Pork and Passion Fruit. Most things made with Ostrich or Passion Fruit will have the aphrodisiac effect, although some have a very negative effect (black hearts) that will lower your Sim's mood.
Kero.

The Harvested Fruits will make your Sims temporarily fall in love so they can make out even with zero Friendship points. They cost nothing to cook. Both Sims must eat the food for this to work.
adriane972.

To create Savannah's Love Potion, get a U-Probe-It Refrigerating Organism Refrigerator and the following ingredients: Orange, Lemon, Cherry, and Strawberry. Use the counter to make fruit. Your Sim will fall in love with another Sim.
LJ Romero.

Hint: Energy boost effect meal:
Dangleberry, Yogurt, Strawberries and Cherries; or Ostrich, Eel, Strawberries and Mangosteen (expensive but works the best).
Kero.

Sandwiches that boost energy (also is a love dish) are Ostrich, Pork, Strawberry, Wheat Bread.
James Jones.

You must have a Fish Tank. Harvest your fish and go to the refrigerator. This will not cost any money. First, get the Shark, Halibut, Eel, and Squid. Go to your stove and make Capriccio. If you do not see that option, eat it raw. You will vomit, but some of your stats will increase. Note: You must take a shower after this because of the vomit. Do not do this just before your carpool arrives because you might not have time to take a shower.
Heather Smith.

If you are low on money and cannot afford beds for everyone in the house, try this trick. Buy the !!!!Espresso.it.supremo!!!!, which costs 450 Simoleons. Make and drink Espresso until a Sim's Energy meter is full. A Sim will not even need to sleep throughout the game if this is done.
hundredpercenthero.

Hint: Skills boost effect meal:
Chicken, Onions, Eggs, and Milk.
Kero.

Carrot, Egg, Milk, White Flour. This will give your Sim a +3 boost on all skills, but it will go down after awhile.
Shadowknight.

To boost all your Sim's stats by 3 temporarily, create a meal using Egg, Milk, Whole White Flour, and Corn Oil. Put it in a food processor, then in an oven. The meal will have sparkles coming out of it. When you eat it, all your stats will be boosted by 3 temporarily.
Kastro187420.

To boost your Skills to 3+, make a meal that includes the following: Chicken, Carrot, Potato, Eggs. After awhile it returns to normal. It is recommended that you eat this meal before you to go to work. Eventually you must boost the Skill points up a few, but it works until about the third promotion.
Amber Shaw.

Eat a whole plateful of harvested vegetables one hour before you leave for work. They will increase your Skills by 3 temporarily. You should get a promotion provided you have enough friends. You can eat it raw without cooking it. The Harvested vegetables will increase skills by 3 points temporarily and cost nothing to cook.
adriane972.

This food will make any Sim who eats it to temporally increase its Skills by +3, almost fill its Energy and Hungry Need, empty its Bladder Need, and act in Socialize with an Aphrodisiac Effect. To make it, you will need a Sim with Cooking Skill over 9, Radioproactive Stove, U-Probe-It Counter, Fridge, Frood Tree, Sprout Couch, and Manila Aquarium. Get Ostrich, Eel, Mangosteen and Dangleberry. Prep and then make a Barbecue with them. Note: If you run out of Dangleberries or Eels, do not use Squid or Shark. Use Strawberry instead.
Omar Patricio Juárez Alvarez.

Use the following food to fill hunger forever. Buy the most expensive refrigerator (the last item on appliances). Go to harvested foods and select Squid, Red Snapper, Tuna, and Lobster. If nothing happens eat one more. You must eat all of the plate(s).
illierchl2.

Get the ingredients: Egg, Milk, Whole Wheat Flour, and White Flour. Go to a counter , select "More" and then "Prep Bread". Next, go to a barbeque and select "More", "Food", and "Make Bread". After barbequing it, it will sparkle and be described as perfect.
angelina warfield.

Hint: Sick meal:
With any meal you make using Llama, no matter what the effect, any Sim that eats it will vomit.
Kero.

Make a meal with Green Smoke (repulsive) by using Lamb, Tuna, Corn Oil and Olive Oil.
adriane972.

Make a meal with Black Hearts and Grey Smoke (repulsive) by using Chicken, Turkey, Apple, and Milk.
adriane972.

Put Tuna, Celery, Soursop, and Mangosteen in a food processor and make a shake. It will not kill them, but they will wet themselves.
Darkashtree.

Hint: Super High Octane Shiny meal:
Use Ostrich Lemon, Yogurt, and Broth on the stove This meal will have a constant high shine to it when it comes out.
adriane972.

Hint: Perfect meal:
Go to the refrigerator and select Steak, Broccoli, Apple and Eggs. Cook them in the stove. When done the game will say that it is perfect.
supacooldude3000.

Hint: Raising motives:
To raise your Social, Energy, Fun and Comfort at the same time, power nap on a couch with a television or radio on nearby and another Sim sitting beside the Sim you are controlling.
Bigdzt and hundredpercenthero.

The Chess Table can also be a Paper Football Table. Have one Sim try to score on the other Sim by shooting the Paper Football through the other Sim's fingers (like a field goal). This raises Fun.
Hamstersrcoming.

Buy an Expresso Machine. Three cups of expresso raises your energy level to full. Always buy the bathroom stalls and put them near the Expresso Machine (remove any extra bathrooms). Also buy the Floating Bathtub and put it near the kitchen and toilets. The Floating Tub increases Hygiene, Fun, Comfort, and Social (when another Sim joins you).
adriane972.

Put Stereos all around the house. Whenever your Sim walks by one, their Fun level will automatically start to increase without dancing. Put one in your kitchen, by the restroom stalls, by the hot tub, and by your couch. Even if you power nap, the radio will still increase your Fun level.
adriane972.

To keep your Room motive high, clear out all the interior walls and just have one huge room. Delete any extra bedrooms and bathrooms. You do not need them. No matter how much trash builds up in the house, your room level will always be high. If you are at a house with three or four separate rooms, just connect them all and take down the dividing walls. Make sure to hire a maid or you will live in a sea of trash.
adriane972.

Hint: Easy money:
When you need some money and own a "Defective Arcade Genie Lamp" you can keep making wishes and you will get money eventually. However, the genie can also cause fire and make all the characters in the area of the lamp to pee themselves if you make him mad. When he is mad he will come out of his lamp with red colored smoke beneath him. However, if he is giving you something good the smoke will be purple or pinkish. It is best to perform this when you first get a house so that you can get your money and not risk losing any items you have purchased. Note: If you talk with the genie, he gives you small advice and hints occasionally.

To earn easy money, find a job in Science. You only need about three friends, level 8 Cleaning, level 4 Logic, and level 6 Cooking to make it all the way to level 8 in your career. Once you get to level 8, you will make over 1,000 Simoleons per day working easy five hour days. You will work from 8 a.m. until 1 p.m. If you wish to get promoted, then you must get at least five friends and some skill points must get higher.
Kyle Knoxville.

Make all the roommates who do not have gold goals get jobs. They will bring in extra money, and usually get promotions easily. There are no consequences if they get fired.
adriane972.

Once finished with a location, sell the wallpaper, walls and floor if you decide not to live there. You will get more Simoleons. Also, sell anything that is yours.
ceara_ceciliamac.

If you have a friendship that is 100, invite that person into your family and then kick them out. By doing this, you will have taken their Simoleons and Pet Points if they have any. Repeat this as many times as desired. Note: Choose the option of kicking them out, but before your character tells them to leave, press B to avoid spoiling your friendship.
PurpleKougra.

Hint: Saving money:
Objectives that require buying furniture can be easily purchased on low ends. Just buy it to complete the goal then delete and get your full money back.
James Jones.

Hint: Money for goals:
When you have a goal, such as to buy a bed worth over 300 Simoleons, and you cannot afford it, simply sell the bed in your house and buy it again.
dumbLE05.

Hint: Painting a great picture:
If you have a goal to sell a good or great picture, you need 10 creative points to do it. However you can always do the following. Get a roommate that you control to play the most expensive piano as much as possible so that they get 10 points. Then, marry them. They will go to all the locations you do. When you have this goal just get them to paint a picture while in a good mood. However, you sell it inside of them. Your goal will be completed and you will get about 70 Simoleons for it. Note: This is only for the "Sell a good painting only".
Alana Banana.

Hint: Selling a good painting:
Have high Creativity and be in a good mood to sell a good painting.
adriane972.

Hint: Finding buried treasure:
A Sim can only use the Metal Detector in direct control mode. It is possible to find money, Dangleberries, monkey idols and bottle caps.
Kero.

Hint: Avoid being fired:
If you accidentally miss your ride to work on your second day of missing work, before it says you have been fired, quickly find another job by looking in the newspaper or the Internet. Once you have avoided the call to get fired, you can change back to your previous job without being demoted and getting deducted skill points.
paul kelly.

To skip work without getting fired, enable the "Cheat Trophy" and "Advance time six hours" code. When you get the notice that it will be one hour until your carpool arrives, go to the cheat trophy and select the option to advance time by six hours. You will have missed work, but will not get a calling notice and will not get fired for it after extended use.
ShadowAlchemist.

This trick requires the cheat trophy with "Advance 6 hours" trick. To miss work to spend more time at home, do not to the carpool, limo, or helicopter. Before they say something like "You have missed work, go on like this and you are fired!" or "You Missed work two times in a row. You are Fired", enable the "Advance time by six hours" code. No one will notice that you missed work.
Frank Unknown.

Hint: Skip a few promotions in your job:
To be able to skip promotions while applying for a new job, you must first get your Sim (for example, Noel) promoted to the top of a career of your choice (level 10). Then, when applying for a new job with somebody else (for example, Wooster), find the one you chose with your first character. Depending on your relationship with him, you will be able to get a higher level job.
Ryan Clemen.

Hint: Socialize faster:
Have a Sim who is not working throw a party while you are at work. Usually only two Sims will show up for a party. Make them cook a good meal and when the guests show up, they will eat and find entertainment until you arrive home from work. By that time, your guests are in a good mood and be more willing to socialize with you.
adriane972.

In some cases, talking to a new roommate can be difficult and the points will often turn negative. Try this first. Make both of the Sims get in the hot tub together a few times. They will talk and get a few positive points. Once you get to about 10, you will unlock the "Tell a joke" option. Use this repeatedly until you become friends.
adriane972.

Get your Sims into a hot tub and build a wall around them so they cannot escape.
adriane972.

Instead of making your Sim approach the new roommates, switch to the ones you can control and make them talk to your Sim. They automatically start off with the "Tell a joke" option
adriane972.

Hint: Do the Woohoo with three Sims:
Start with three lovers (preferably ones you can control in the house). Walk your Sim and their lover into the bedroom with the Love Bed then remove the doors. Make your Sim relax then call your lover to join you. Do the Woohoo and replace the door. As your lover gets out of bed, call over your next lover. When the first one leaves and the next one enters, remove the door and do the same thing. All the Sims must be in a good mood for this to work. You can stay in the bed and have three Woohoos in a row without getting out of the bed.
adriane972.

Hint: Easy friends:
Buy the Love Bed. Call over a Sim, enable mojo and woohoo. Then, enable mojo and woohoo again. Repeat this five or six times and they will become lovers. There is no need to take out doors or set a table or wall so they cannot leave.
Cameron Blair.

Hint: Forced friends:
If you need friends, get a Hot Rock Hot Tub, or move to Tranquillity Falls where they already have one. Invite over who you want to be your friends and get them in the hot tub. Then, put objects around it so they cannot get out. Leave them in there long enough and they will become your friends. Note: Get out before your hunger goes all the way down or else they will die.

Make a 6x5 room with one door. Make it the first room that you are in when you first enter the house. You will need a phone. Get the phone and use the action "Throw Party". When all the people get in that room (the number of friends that you want to have), take out the door and socialize with everyone in that room until getting at least 40 points. When you have all the friends you desire, place a door in that room and let the guests leave.
Frank Unknown.

Hint: Keep friends easily:
Throw a party once a day. It does not matter who shows up. They will just be happy to come by and hang out.
adriane972.

Hint: Helping your roommates make friends:
When helping another Sim advance their career, they also need friends (for example, Noel at the Biodome). Move back to a house where you can control three or more roommates and invite Noel over. When he shows up, make the roommates talk to him until they are friends and keep doing this until he has enough friends. Then, move back to the Biodome so that he can continue going to work and getting his promotions.
adriane972.

Hint: Know when neighbors pass:
When you want to know when there is going to be a neighbor passing your house, look in the street to the far right. When a neighbor is going to appear, you will see the shadow of a person with its arms and legs out on the right of the street.
Perry3893.

Hint: Getting married:
Bring your Friendship up to 80 or 90. If the background is very red and blurry, select "Be on" the socialize menu and go to a bed. Select "Relax" then choose the bed again. Select "Woo whoo" once then press X to get out of the bed. Select "Socialize" and if you are in love, select "Propose" and hope that the other Sim says yes.

Hint: Getting Betty to marry Nelson:
Make them get into the hot tub three or four times before they start talking. While they are in the hot tub, build a solid wall around them so that Nelson cannot escape. Then, have Betty make a plateful of Harvested Fruits and give a plate to Nelson. He must to be in a good mood or else he will not socialize easily. Then use the "Tell a joke" option until you get the "Hit on" option. Then, use the "Serenade" and "Make out" options alternately until you get the "Propose" option.
adriane972.

Go in the hot tub. Call him over. Put objects all around. When you think they are done, look at their friendship. When it is at 100, move the objects away. Get out and propose to Nelson.
Mia.

Hint: No friends or money worries:
It will be easier if you just get through your career at level 10. Then as you progress through the game, you will not have to worry about making friends or money.
Doctor Wright.

Hint: Live by yourself:
Get a job for everybody that lives with you. Then, enable the "Advance time by six hours" code and send them to work. Before they come back, enable the "Advance time by six hours" code again. Do this every day before the people come back. Note: You cannot do this when you are a ghost.
LJ Romero.

Hint: Killing your Sim:
With a low cooking skill, make a meal with Squid, Llama, Eel, and Fauxlestra. This will make your Sim double vomit, go to the batheroom, then fall over and die.
Ryan Brehm.

Go to the refrigerator and select "Get Ingredients". Go on "Harvest Seafood", get one Halibut and one Shark. Then, go to "Harvest Fruit" and get one Mangosteen. Then, go to "Liquids" and get some Juice. Then, select "Done". Do not eat it raw. Select "Make Carpaccio With Fruit Sauce". When made, there should be little hearts coming out of the food. Then, eat. Wait until they have finished all their food,, then your Sim will begin to die. They should first become sick, then wet themselves, then turn into a ghost. Note: You must harvest the fruit and seafood; this is done by getting an aquarium for the seafood and a fruit tree for the fruit. If you do not want your Sim to return to life, do not select the Grim Reaper (which usually arrives about one Sim hour later).
a1cheekymonkey.

Build a bathroom and invite a Sim over. Wait until he or she enters the bathroom. Go to "Build catalog" and enable remove mode. Remove the door from the bathroom and wait. It is recommended that you advance time by six hours. They will eventually die, and that Sim will not appear any more in the game. If you do with your own Sim, this will not happen.
Brig Taylor x2.

Get a 5x5 room and put a table in it. Then put in Brown Floor Cover flooring and light a fire with the Minimal Fireplace. Finally, put the food (poisonous recommended) in. Invite a person to your house. Take off the door quickly. When he is done eating he will die. If he does not eat it, he may burn up. Note: Use this on Toren when you are done in Story mode.
Gustavo Garufi.

Hint: Killing a guest:
Change your kitchen tiles to a cheap carpet. Then, buy a fireplace. It must be in the kitchen. Prepare a dinner or lunch for the guest, then invite him or her. If he or she comes over, they will automatically go to the kitchen and will start to eat. Immediately go to the fireplace and light it while he or she is eating. Go out of there, then in Build mode, remove all the doors and windows from the kitchen. He or she must be still eating. Wait until the carpet catches on fire. The guest will also catch on fire sometimes. This might not work all of the time. When the guest is dead, the Grim Reaper will not appear because he or she is not your living mate. It will only become dust. If you want to have more fun, throw the trash away.
Mako Kaspers.

Hint: Secret room:
When you want a room where a Sim can just hang out, follow these basic steps. First, make your house simple with a bedroom with beds one square apart against the wall that has the outside on the other side. Then, put a simple closet door between the two beds. Next, make that door go into a room that is 4x4 squares apart. On the opposite side of the closet door, put another door, and cover it up with a tall bureau on one side and a bureau one square in front. Then, make a spooky hallway that leads to a fun, secret room. Finally, put a deck floor for the hallway, rug for the closet, and rug for the hallway. Also, put no lights in the closet or scary lights for the hallway. Do not over stuff the secret room or there will be a fire.
Perry3893.

Hint: No bills:
Make a little 4x4 room and put a fireplace in it. Then, place a bin in front of the fireplace. In the last reaming square you will need to place a door. Afterwards, as fast as possible, quickly get the bills, hold them in your hand, and run in the little room. After awhile the bin will catch alight and so will you eventually. When you die. your bills turn to ash with you. Therefore you will not have to pay them. To return to life, either challenge the Grim Reaper in a fiddle contest or pay him 100 Simoleons. You can find him in the garden near the road after you die.
RyanWelby.

Go outside and get your bill. Once you get it out of the mailbox, quickly press X. Do not fast forward. Just before the bill touches the ground, press Start. Buy any chair and place it under your bill. Your bill will disappear. You will no longer have to pay the bill. Sell your chair to get your money back.
ayana chea.

Get your bills. Choose to drop the bills. Go to Grab mode and pick up the bills. Delete them and repeat this every time you get a bill.
REc1063842.

Hint: Avoid building extra bathrooms:
Because the Sims do not share bathrooms, just get the big Floating Tub and Toilet Stalls. By doing this, everyone has a place to "go" without shooing people out of the bathroom. This also cuts down on fire hazards.
adriane972.

Hint: Avoid building extra bedrooms:
Buy the Expresso Machine and have only a small bedroom with two beds. They will rarely get used. You can also put all the beds into one bedroom. The Sims will not mind. Also, just buy the Twin Beds. If your Sims do not like each other, they will not share a bed.
adriane972.

Hint: Avoid needing a dining room table and chairs:
Buy one couch and set it close to the kitchen. Your Sims will use it to sit and eat, power nap, read, etc. The Sprouch Couch is recommended, as it provides the most comfort and you can get Dangleberries from it. It also avoids the need for bedrooms as well.
adriane972.

Hint: Christmas tree:
Delete some walls so the game thinks it is outside. Get a pine tree and put it inside.
Joe.

Hint: Golden egg:
Beat the chicken at checkers and he will give you a golden egg.
Lorraine3467.

Hint: Love Potion #9:
To make a girl/boy accept Love Socials, you can make a potion to make it all easier. First, get an Aquarium, a Garden Hutch, the Frood Tree, the Red Blender, a Food Processor, an Oven, and a refrigerator. Water/feed them everyday for about two to three days. Harvest the food from the items. Go into the Refrigerator and pick these ingredients: Avocado, Starfruit, Persimmon, and Chupa-Chupa. Go to the Food Processor and select "Prep…" or something similar. When you are done using the Food Processor, go to the Oven and cook your dish. Go to the blender and select "Make Slurry" or "Make Smoothie". By now there should be hearts floating around your love potion. Finally, give your love potion to a girl or boy and start doing Love Socials. They will almost always accept it. Note: The love potion only lasts a few hours.
Dott228.

Hint: Get abducted by aliens:
If your Sim gazes at the stars at night for a long time there is a chance it will get abducted by aliens. If this happens, your Sim might miss a day of work but he or she will come back in about a day. If you do not want this to happen, do not let him or her gaze at the stars too much.
tyler hamant.

When you are abducted by aliens from looking through the telescope, you will miss a day at work. However when your Sims comes back they will be pregnant with an alien baby. It does not matter what their gender is; no matter what, this will happen.
Koren Pacheco.

Hint: Stay in a hot tub:
To stay in a hot tub as long as desired, go to direct control mode and get in. While in direct control, your Sim will not do anything unless you make them. Note: If you stay in for too long, your motives will get very low and your Sim may possibly die.
Russ Glenn.

Hint: Getting rid of items quickly:
Use the following trick to get rid of unwanted items in a full inventory without selling them. Go to the town square and leave things there. Then, buy again in the stores. If you go home and return to the town square, the items you left there will be gone.

Hint: Chuck Norris Sim:
To make a Sim that resembles Chuck Norris, create a new family in Free Play mode. Select "Add Sim" and choose the male. Go to "Body Type" and set it at the medium one. Morph the body so that he has big muscles and is a slightly skinnier than average. Give him the full beard. Put a cowboy hat on him and choose black for its color. For the over shirt, select the dress shirt with the suspenders. Keep it white. For the coat, select the dress coat in the first column on the bottom. Give him sunglasses and boots. Name him "Chuck Norris" or "The Chuck" and set his aspiration as "Popularity". Go to his personality and set everything half way up.

Hint: The Urbz reference:
After painting either Image 1,2,3,4, or 5, on an easel, it will have your main Sim (which was created at the start of the game) on it. The sides by the Sim are black, and your Sim will be in a pose on the picture. This is a reference to The Urbz, when you get popular and a picture appears in the area where your Urb is at. The picture can be made in Story or Free Play mode.

Glitch: Two gravestones:
Occasionally, when you die there will be a glitch that results in two gravestones for your Sim. If you want to live, you will change the creeper, but first be live and practice on a music instrument to get more music from your death. When you come back, you will be half live and half ghost.

Glitch: Fireman, police, and bed:
Sometimes when you are outside your house, and save then come back, there will be a fireman. Throw three parties in a row. Sometimes the police will arrive, walk through the house, and leave. When you save the game when you are in bed and come back, you should stand through your bed, then fall over back onto your bed. Note: This does not work all the time. Also, you can only do this in story mode at the first house you start at.

Glitch: Get a book to study with without paying:
Buy a bookshelf. Then, have your Sim take one or two books from the bookshelf and set them on the floor. Immediately sell the bookshelf. You should get all your money back and have one or two books to study from.
