Easy Money
Start writing novels on your computer. Write fiction novels as they take the lea
st amount of time. They will not bring you too much Simoleons. When you write, y
our skill will automatically advance. If your skill is high enough, you will be
able to write more novel types/genres. The most money can be made from "Romance
Novels". You will get royalties for six weeks once you finish a book. With the "
Writing" skill maxed out, you can make approximately 40,000 Simoleons every week

, which is more than the 34,800 Simoleons you can get by purchasing all neighbor
hood businesses, and takes less time to achieve. In three game weeks you should
have a very high speed writing, 9 or 10 novels as best sellers, and 100,000 Simo
leons.

Protection From Death
Go to Pleasant Rest Graveyard, and near the gate, there is a strange bush called
a "Death Flower Bush" - Harvest the flower from it.
If you keep this flower in your sim's inventory, when you die the grim reaper wi
ll trade it for a second chance at life.
This flower will not reappear, but there are Unknown Special Seeds (requires lev
el 7 Gardening to plant) dotted about near the graveyard (and a few other places
) which may grow another Death Flower (and sometimes more if your Sim has the Gr
een Thumb trait to revive the plant.)

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

Making Friends
Buy a guitar. Play it to learn how to play guitar. Keep playing until you reach
5/10 level, which gives you the ability to "Play For Tips". When you have that a
bility, go to the park with the guitar in your inventory. When you are in the pa
rk, click the guitar in your inventory, and select "Play For Tips." People watch
ing you will become your friends if you keep playing. The higher your guitar ski
ll, the faster they will become friends with you.

ox before "Aging" the sims won't become older anymore. You can also slow aging d

60 days.

# Watching your own videos on the TV
Use the following trick to watch your own videos on the Sim television. Place th
e video you want into the "/My Documents/EA Games/The Sims 3/Movies/Broadcast/[t
elevision station]" folder. Turn on the television in the game, and you can watc
h it. The video must be in .AVI format, with a resolution no larger than 128x128
pixels, and frame rate not greater than 15 frames per second.
# Listening to your own music on the radio
Place the desired .MP3 files in the "/My Documents/EA Games/The Sims 3/Music/[ra

dio station]" folder. Start the game, go to "Options" menu, select "Music Settin
gs", then choose radio station. Select which songs you want the radio to play.
# Easy money
Start writing novels on your computer. Write fiction novels as they take the lea
st amount of time. They will not bring you too much Simoleons. When you write, y
our skill will automatically advance. If your skill is high enough, you will be
able to write more novel types/genres. The most money can be made from "Romance
Novels". You will get royalties for six weeks once you finish a book. With the "
Writing" skill maxed out, you can make approximately 40,000 Simoleons every week
, which is more than the 34,800 Simoleons you can get by purchasing all neighbor
hood businesses, and takes less time to achieve. In three game weeks you should
have a very high speed writing, 9 or 10 novels as best sellers, and 100,000 Simo
leons.
# Saving money
No matter how many times you use an object, if you sell it the same day you got
it 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.
# Easy Cooking, Fishing, and Gardening skills
This trick requires a TV with a Cooking, Fishing, or Gardening channel and a vid
eo game system. Have a Sim sit down and watch television. Switch the TV over to
one of the previously mentioned channels so that the Sim can start earning his o
r her skill point. Then, have a second Sim go over and start playing video games
. Notice that although the TV is displaying video games, the first Sim still has
the skill meter above their head. Allow this Sim to sit there for as long as th
ey please until they decide to do another activity of their own. After that, the
skill meter should stay above their head until you start another Cooking, Fishi
ng, or Gardening skill activity. As an added bonus, you can train two skill poin
ts at once. For example, work out and both the Athletic and Cooking skills will
continue to rise. If you keep repeating the steps until each skill channel has b
een viewed, the Sim will keep learning the three skills as he or she goes on abo
ut their daily life, and four when doing skill activities.
# Free bookcase skills
Buy a bookcase, then have your Sim begin to study. Interrupt the action so that
the book is placed on the ground. Sell the bookcase. The book can now do everyth
ing the bookcase could have done for free.
# Increasing chance to have baby boys
Have a pregnant female Sim eat apples to increase the chance of having a boy.
# Increasing chance to have baby girls
Have a pregnant female Sim eat watermelons to increase the chance of having a gi
rl.
# Increasing chance for multiple babies
To increase the chance of having twins or triplets, have one or both parents hav
e the lifetime reward of Fertility Treatment.
# Ghost baby
Set one of your female Sim's traits to Kleptomaniac. Go to the graveyard, and ha
ve the Sim steal male remains. On the second day after putting the male remains
in your home, a ghost will appear at 11:00 p.m. and disappear at 4:00 a.m. It wi
ll appear every other day. Socialize with the ghost every night it appears. When
you become best friends with the ghost, it will begin appearing every night. Ge
t the "Fertility" reward. Confess your attraction to the ghost. Ask to snuggle o
n the bed, and kiss him. Try for a baby every night until you start throwing up.

You will now have a ghost baby that you can control.
# Ghosts in your house
Go to the graveyard, click on all the tombstones, and take all possible tombston
es. Return to your house, and place them somewhere in your backyard. You now hav
e 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".
# Making friends
Buy a guitar. Play it to learn how to play guitar. Keep playing until you reach
5/10 level, which gives you the ability to "Play For Tips". When you have that a
bility, go to the park with the guitar in your inventory. When you are in the pa
rk, click the guitar in your inventory, and select "Play For Tips". People watch
ing you will become your friends if you keep playing. The higher your guitar ski
ll, the faster they will become friends with you.
# Disable aging
Instead of using a cheat code to toggle "aging on" and "aging off" like in The S
ims 2, you can de-activate the age in "Game Options" under "Options". When you u
ncheck the box next to "Aging", your Sims will no longer become older. You can a
lso slow aging down in this menu by setting the "Lifetime" bar. It can be set fr
om 25 days to 960 days.
# Quickly advance age
Use the following trick to change your Sim's age (toddler, child, teen, etc.) qu
ickly. Buy a birthday cake from the grocery store, and place it somewhere on you
r lot. Click the cake, and select "Have Birthday". Then, choose the Sim to be ag
ed. This is a good method to get past the baby stage.
# 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 th
e 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 plac
es that have a chance to grow as a Death Flower. Note: Having the Green Thumb tr
ait to revive the plant may help.
# New clothes
To get new clothes, you first have to buy a dresser from "Buy Options". Once the
re, click "Plan Outfit". You can put a total of three different clothes for each
type (formal, every day, athletic, etc.).
# 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 sk
ill 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 taugh
t.
# 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.
# 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 fo
ur hours.

# Strange faces
There is a glitch in Create-A-Sim mode that allows to you to make very strange f
aces. Go to the face designing area. Select a face part such as the eyes, and ma
x out all the sliders one way or the other. Then, go to a different face part, a
nd select one of the predesigned parts. Return to the eyes. The sliders will hav
e 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 ey
es and repeat. You can make eyes the size of dinner plates, very long cheekbones
, huge noses, and more.
# Hording pizza
Have a Sim call for pizza. When the pizza delivery man arrives, do not accept th
e pizza. The delivery man will eventually leave the pizza on the front porch, an
d it will never get stale. You can stack as many pizzas there as you want. If yo
ur Sims get hungry, just tell them to get a pizza from the front porch.
# EA game references
When you have the video game system and your Sims play it, zoom in on the TV to
see that the games they are playing are various Electronic Arts titles.
