link directly to this cheatAlmost Free Housing

To get your almost free house, first you must enter the FREEALL cheatcode. Then go to Play The Sims mode.

Once you have done that, create a family or just choose an old one. Go to a blank spot and purchase it for nothing. You will still have the same amount as before.

Then, you enter the blank spot and then go to build mode, where you will be able to build your dream house!

link directly to this cheatAlone In Your Unabomber Style Shack

Keeping a Sim's social meter up can be a nightmare. A good way to avoid this is to make the outgoing trait as low as possible (mine are usually zero). A shy Sim may take longer making friends, but an outgoing Sim constantly needs companionship (which takes up a LOT of time). With this trait at zero, once you fill up the Social meter, you can go three or four days without a visit from ANYONE!

Also, for me, the most difficult ability to fill is Body. If you make your Sim's Active trait high, they'll take to the treadmill like a duck to water. You can also guarantee that watching the Action channel on the TV will always provide some fun. Making Active high works well if you want your Sim in the military.

link directly to this cheatAnti-social sims and Jobs

If you're like me, you absolutely hate trying to make and keep all these ruddy friends to make it to the top of yuor promotion ladder. Personally? I prefer to get into the military career track. It's usually there at the beginning, and it doesn't require you to have that many friends at all, which is a nice thing when it comes to having to juggle a dozen things at once in this game. 8 is the maximum that you will ever need in this track.

For the record, Life of Crime is 12, and Xtreme is 11 -- all others are above this amount.

When the baby is born make sure you play with it stright away otherwise when you want to play with it another time it will just keep crying. if you want to move the cradle you have to wait until the baby is asleep and nobody is touching it then go into the menu and move it. the thing i do is get a bedroom built when iam making the house and make it for a child then as soon as you have the baby it will have a bedroom of its own then when it developeds from a baby to a child its will have the bed there ready for it. NOTE the baby will need feeding around about every 4 hours so make sure you take it in turns so you dont get to tired. if you ignore the baby more than twice somebody will come and take it away. make sure at least 1 of you doesnt have a job so you can look after the baby. when the baby turns into a child it will sometimes have a painting on its face if you want to change this just buy a vanity mirror than sell it as soon as you hve changed it.

link directly to this cheatBody Skill - Choice of Machine?

For the record, I find going with the treadmill is best. While the machine is all good and well, the treadmill, on run, for example, tends to get your sim up to a level you want faster, even if you sometimes fall off.

Keeping it to jog is always useful as well, but the top thing is that, if your sim doesn't seem to be up for much work, you can always walk. Slow, yeah, but less effect on your sim in all ways, so if you want to get something done, that's the way to do it.

The monkey will not be able to finish the task and stands around until there's something else to do.

link directly to this cheatDoing Everything Yourself

While this is all well and good in the first levels, you will find that, as your life progresses, you'll have less and less time to get things done while still keeping the sim happy. After the second/third level, you should start considering hiring the maid full time, as it is more of an investment that way.

Keeping your sim happy will assist you in the future in a number of ways. For example, they will do better at work, be more willing to learn some new skills, and these sims also tend to interact better with others.

If you chose not to rely on the handy people on the other end of the phone, from the pizza guy, who is immensely useful, right through to the repairman and the maid, expect for a long and difficult game.

link directly to this cheatGet away from robbers//have money without entering any cheat or restarting the game

To catch robbers without bothering to call the police, or making the alarm more effective, put up/build a wall on the sidewalk nearest the corner where the burglar enters and place the alarm there. With that, even before the burglar gets to enter the house to steal anything, the alarm would go off and thus summon the police faster and you get to have a thousand for "capturing" the burglar.

To be able to have 99999simoleon (or more--as excess money; 100000 doesn't really show on the screen) in a breeze, build the longest wall you can on a lot (the wall must form a straight line). Place the most expensive wallpaper on one side of such wall. Try selling the opposite side of the wall which has no wallpaper. If it indicates a certain cost, continuously press the sell button (or the pink square) until the desired amount of simoleon is raised. If pressing the sell thingy does not work, try placing the wallpaper on the other side of the wall, and sell the opposite side of it. Although make sure the you have enough money to build the wall and wallpaper. If your money is a small amount at first, just build a short wall until you can have enough money to build the longest wall on the lot.

Ok heres what you do, when your in the main menu hold down the L1,L2 and R1,R2 buttons. Make sure you put in FreeAll and Midas. When your finished start a new game so when u move in with mom you can buy whatever you want! But if you`re one of those who cant stand to be around her, build a house next to hers in your own style, put some nice things in moms house too so she will leave you alone, like put an extra Tv in the house. After you have unlocked everything for the next level mom will give you some money except shes paying you for the house you bulit and for the contents inside, so unlike playing the sims without cheats you will have unlimited money. BUT IT DEPENDS ON HOW BIG __YOUR___HOUSE IS!!!!! which will determine how much money you get.

Move in to their place, and it will be seven am if you have not already started that place. Get a sim to throw a party on a phone (it should already have one). Then, you just wait for the sims to start arriving. Find the child sim that you wish to murder, then greet it. You create a room at the top of the garden, then go into it. Call the child over to you. When it is coming, go into build mode and build a fence around it. It should shrug. Then, you get your sim out of the room and basically make it do whatever it wants. After a while, your sim will get a little restless. Just ignore it. After three days, it will clutch it's hands to its stomach, scream and fall to the floor. The grim reaper will wave his skythe over your sim and it will turn into a grave. By then, you should notice the grim reaper turning a bit smoky. Just go into buy mode, sell it and voila, 700 simoleons!

link directly to this cheatMulti-Tasking

I seriously recommend this for all those players like me who simply can't seem to get things to work the way they want them to. By what I mean, the social bar's seeming constant emptiness, tied with the time to get things started up...

The number one thing to remember is that your sim should have someone living with them, which is best. Living alone tends to make things harder, as inviting people over is a chore, and speaking to people over the phone is difficult.

To fill up this bar, I usually do it at the same time I do other things. For example, I will have my sims eat together, although rather rarely, to fill up both hunger (the quickest bar to deplete half the time, IMO) and the social bar. Sometimes I will have them watch TV together, to raise both fun and social.

I prefer to make them hot tub, however. My sims get social points, comfort points, cleanliness points, etc, all in one, which is great this early on in the game. Since it works for four sims, this is one of the best things to do to keep sims occupied at parties, etc, and make them stay longer as well.

In closing, if you can multitask, do it. Life is just so much easier that way.

While some of you out there might put some points into this, like I did, my first time around, I'm recommending to you all to stop this, or put the minimal amount of points in.

While being neat is all well and good, the maid will do all of these actions the neatness bar forces your sim to do (cleaning up after himself, flushing the toilet, emptying the trash compactor) herself, thus, it's an unnecessary waste of your time and should be done away with at the beginning of the game, since you have access to the maid by level 2.

While not the best thing to do, sometimes your sim is in such bad condition that you need a day off to work things back together again. While every time you do this is says that it is your final warning, you will be able to do this once every other day.

That's right, folks, for the entire time you're employed, you only have to go in half the time. Personally, I never risk it and go in full time, but that's just me. I've tested this on most consoles, so be wary with this overall -- sometimes, games do unexpected things.

Who ever says 'put the burglar alarm on the outside of the house' is a total nutcase. If you do that, burglars will just runaway and you get no money! If you have a burglar alarm on the inside of your house, burglar comes, the alarm goes off, police comeand you get a bunch of money for catching the theif (and if they take something, you get money for that too) so take my advice.

The whiffer puff, yes, is a very useful thing. Some good ideas to use it for are when you are working out, sleeping, or studying.

BUT: it breaks ALOT it especially stinks cuz if you are sleeping, you wake up, and you cough and cough and cough.

If you have a whiffer puff in your bedroom, i suggest you get a monkey butler and a couple extra doors into your room.

This little machine is incredibly useful. While I have problems keeping it out of the burgulars hands, in the past it has helped me go through several levels with it in tow.

What it does, is it effects your sim without you having to do something. The effects that are involved are:

- The one I use the most, lavender and majoram will increases your Fun bar.
- The setting peppermint and juniper will increase your Comfort rating.
- Juniper and rosemary will increase your energy, which is useful for those who actually sleep.
- Then there is rosemary and peppermint, which increases the room rating.

So, for those of you with this handy device, use it as you please.

link directly to this cheatYour SIMS and Skills

Whenever your Sims get a promotion, the game will send you a note, with subtle hints at what you're going to need to do to go up to the next level. For example, in the life of a thrill seeker, you sometimes need to have high charisma in addition to excellent physique.

Not paying attention to these notes could hold off your promotion for a good long time, as you try to build up in the wrong areas for several points instead of the correct section for one.

link directly to this cheatZapping

Alright, while not the best thing to do in real life, this is a handy addition for the game, especially once you make it to fourth level with the sonic shower (although, personally, a good couch is good as well).

My sim always seemed to need a good ten hours a day for resting, meaning I had very little time to get things going, until one day, quite by accident, I found out that the bug zapper saves all my problems.

By touching it, although your comfort bar lowers (I mentioned how to combat this before, the couch, etc) a couple of jolts can keep you going for quite a while, compared to sleeping. While being an insomniac can be bad, so can having low bars in everything else and never having time to do everything you want to. In the end, it's your choice.

Kill a sim. The Best way to do this is to Burn them. First Build a room get them to go in it and build a fireplace. Then light a fire (kids cant light fires). Then place a bear skin rug next to the fire place and some more rugs around the room so most of them overlap each other and the floor is not showing. Then when the fire starts watch you sim burn (if the rug did not catch on fire move it closer to the fire it needs to be touching it). Then the grim reaper will appear. Get another sim to beg for the sims live. The grim Reaper will either kill you sim anyway bring you sim back to live of bring it back as a Green Zombie Sim (if you do not talk to the grim reaper in under 30 mins in sim time he will kill your sim anyway).

Okay, first when you are on the main screen, hold R1 R2 L1 L2 and put in MIDAS and FREEALL. Go to Get A Life. Once you've finished the first level you go to Malcom's House where the kitchen has been burnt. First thing I do is buy the monkey butler, then build a wall for the kitchen because it has been burnt down. This is especially good because if you don't it puts down your room level. Just leave the monkey to clean up everything-it does-even the broken stuff. so I use this time to make some friends because we all know that it comes in handy in the end.

link directly to this cheatExtra Income

There are a few ways to make extra money with your skills, especially in the early stages of Get A Life.

Buy an Art Easel: The higher your creative skills are, the faster you'll complete a painting. When it's finished, sell the painting for cash and you can use the easel over and over again.

Buy an Artist Block: Again, the higher your creativity, the faster you'll finish the sculpture. Then, sell it for more than what you paid for the original block. Keep buying more blocks as necessary.

Buy a Woodworking Table: The higher your mechanical skills, the faster you'll produce gnomes. Also, the cash you get for selling the gnomes gets higher and higher as you go along.

Answer the Phone: Sometimes you'll get a random call saying that you won something or some work of yours got published, which will get you lots of extra cash. Answering the phone often ensures you get one of these bonuses.

Install Burglar Alarms: If you don't have alarms next to your doors, you'll lose a lot of money if a burglar happens to come! Make sure they're posted on the wall next to every door out of your house. When you are robbed, the alarm will alert the police. Even if he manages to steal something, you'll get reimbursed for the exact amount of the item he took, plus a cash bonus for catching him.

Wanna turn your place into a Haunted House? Well now you can! Simply kill off one or more of your Sims. The best way to do this is to stick them in a side room, remove the doors so they have no place to go, and let them die of starvation. The Grim Reaper will come, and they'll turn into an ash urn. Keep the urn around and eventually, when nightfall comes, the ghost of the dead Sim(s) will randomly wander around the house, through walls and back to its container. If a living Sim comes across the ghost, they'll be spooked. Do this as many times as you like, creating and destroying Sim after Sim for some ghastly fun!

Heres a neat trick:

If your fun or social bars are low never fear because i have the solution.

While everyone/you are asleep press start and save and quit, or if your playing the play the sims mode you can just exit to neighbourhood.

Now go back to the game you just quit, your
sim(s) will be having loads of FUN and talking to other sims in there sleep.

To put it another way, your FUN and your SOCIAL bars will be going up rapidly while you sleep, pretty cool ey.

NOTE:
Doesn't work every time, and usually only when your Sim is napping on the couch.

Depending on the gender of your character in Get A Life, you'll move in with either Mimi or Dudley. These characters are phenomenally lazy and will not learn skills or clean up after themselves. However, there's a way to cheat and get their initial body skill requirement up enough to get them promoted once. Buy a pool, and have them swim around until their body bar goes up. The income they get isn't that much of an upgrade, but it's better than nothing. After that, they need Charisma to get promoted again, so you're going to be stuck because neither of them will practice their speech in a mirror.
