Watching your own videos on the TV

Use the following trick to watch your own videos on the Sim television. Place the video you want intothe "/My Documents/EA Games/The Sims 3/Movies/Broadcast/[television station]" folder. Turn onthe television in the game, and you can watch it. The video must be in .AVI format, with a resolutionno 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/[radio station]"folder. Start the game, go to "Options" menu, select "Music Settings", 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 least amount of time.They will not bring you too much Simoleons. When you write, your skill will automatically advance. Ifyour skill is high enough, you will be able to write more novel types/genres. The most money can bemade 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 morethan the 34,800 Simoleons you can get by purchasing all neighborhood businesses, and takes lesstime to achieve. In three game weeks you should have a very high speed writing, 9 or 10 novels asbest sellers, and 100,000 Simoleons.

Saving money

No matter how many times you use an object, if you sell it the same day you got it you can get allyour money back. If your Sim is poor and needs body points or something else, buy a body machineand 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 video game system.Have a Sim sit down and watch television. Switch the TV over to one of the previously mentionedchannels so that the Sim can start earning his or her skill point. Then, have a second Sim go overand start playing video games. Notice that although the TV is displaying video games, the first Simstill has the skill meter above their head. Allow this Sim to sit there for as long as they please untilthey decide to do another activity of their own. After that, the skill meter should stay above theirhead until you start another Cooking, Fishing, or Gardening skill activity. As an added bonus, youcan train two skill points at once. For example, work out and both the Athletic and Cooking skills willcontinue to rise. If you keep repeating the steps until each skill channel has been viewed, the Simwill keep learning the three skills as he or she goes on about their daily life, and four when doingskill activities.

Free bookcase skills

Buy a bookcase, then have your Sim begin to study. Interrupt the action so that the book is placedon the ground. Sell the bookcase. The book can now do everything the bookcase could have donefor 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 girl.

Increasing chance for multiple babies

To increase the chance of having twins or triplets, have one or both parents have the lifetimereward of Fertility Treatment.

Ghost baby

Set one of your female Sim's traits to Kleptomaniac. Go to the graveyard, and have the Sim stealmale remains. On the second day after putting the male remains in your home, a ghost will appearat 11:00 p.m. and disappear at 4:00 a.m. It will appear every other day. Socialize with the ghostevery night it appears. When you become best friends with the ghost, it will begin appearing everynight. Get the "Fertility" reward. Confess your attraction to the ghost. Ask to snuggle on the bed,and kiss him. Try for a baby every night until you start throwing up. You will now have a ghost babythat you can control.

Ghosts in your house

Go to the graveyard, click on all the tombstones, and take all possible tombstones. Return to yourhouse, and place them somewhere in your backyard. You now have a 70% chance of a ghost ortwo, or even a whole party of ghosts visiting your house each night. To improve your chances, writein the epitaph "Here Lies [Sim's name], The One Who Returns".

How many times were you fooled on AprilFool's Day this year?

converted by Web2PDFConvert.com

Making friends

Buy a guitar. Play it to learn how to play guitar. Keep playing until you reach 5/10 level, which givesyou the ability to "Play For Tips". When you have that ability, go to the park with the guitar in yourinventory. When you are in the park, click the guitar in your inventory, and select "Play For Tips".People watching you will become your friends if you keep playing. The higher your guitar skill, thefaster they will become friends with you.

Disable aging

Instead of using a cheat code to toggle "aging on" and "aging off" like in The Sims 2, you can de-activate the age in "Game Options" under "Options". When you uncheck the box next to "Aging",your Sims will no longer become older. You can also slow aging down in this menu by setting the"Lifetime" bar. It can be set from 25 days to 960 days.

Quickly advance age

Use the following trick to change your Sim's age (toddler, child, teen, etc.) quickly. Buy a birthdaycake from the grocery store, and place it somewhere on your lot. Click the cake, and select "HaveBirthday". Then, choose the Sim to be aged. 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 theflower from it, and keep it in your Sim's inventory. If you die, that Sim will give the flower to the GrimReaper and be resurrected. Although the flower will not reappear there again, if your Sim has Level7 Gardening, they can plant the "Unknown Special Seeds" found in the graveyard and some otherplaces that have a chance to grow as a Death Flower. Note: Having the Green Thumb trait to revivethe plant may help.

Changing your name

To easily change your name, go to the map, and find City Hall. It should give you an option tochange your name during the day between 8:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. Monday through Friday.

New clothes

To get new clothes, you first have to buy a dresser from "Buy Options". Once there, click "PlanOutfit". 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, thenselect "New Song" to learn it. After reaching Guitar skill level 6, do the same thing with a level 6book. Repeat the process until the Sim reaches Guitar skill level 10, and they will know all songsthat were taught.

Creating brilliant paintings or masterpieces

Create a stylized still life after it is unlocked. Choose "Genius", and make it in the largest possibleframe. You will now have a much better chance of getting a brilliant painting or masterpiece.

Building a basement

Put down staircases on a new lot to lower the terrain. Go to the bottom of the first one, and miss outone tile, then put down another staircase. Repeat this again to have three staircases. Delete thestaircases. Use the "Level Terrain" tool to level the terrain from the lowest tile. Set it as big or smallas desired. Using the "Straight Line Wall" tool, build walls around this hole so there are wallspressed up against hills. Build the room above so it covers the entire basement. Cover around thehouse with the "Foundation" tool; all the slopes should be covered up. Place one tile in the top floor,then create a staircase leading down to the basement. Make two or more foundation blocks at thefront of the house, and place a staircase leading up them.

Duck Time moodlet

Buy the Ducksworth of Bathington, and place it in your bathtub. When a Sim takes a bath, they willget the Duck Time moodlet which results in a +15 boost for four hours.

Getting rid of dirty dishes

Drag an empty plate into a Sim's inventory, then drag it to sell. You will not get any money, but ifyour Sim does not have a dish washer, it is a quick and efficient way to get rid of dirty dishes.

Strange faces

There is a glitch in Create-A-Sim mode that allows to you to make very strange faces. Go to theface designing area. Select a face part such as the eyes, and max out all the sliders one way or theother. Then, go to a different face part, and select one of the predesigned parts. Return to theeyes. The sliders will have reset to the middle, but the eyes will still look the same. This works for allof the face adjusting tabs. You can then continue to max out the size of the eyes and repeat. Youcan 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 the pizza. The deliveryman will eventually leave the pizza on the front porch, and it will never get stale. You can stack asmany pizzas there as you want. If your Sims get hungry, just tell them to get a pizza from the frontporch.

EA game references

When you have the video game system and your Sims play it, zoom in on the TV to see that thegames they are playing are various Electronic Arts titles.
