Quick money:
Enable cheat mode and enter the klapaucius code. Display the cheat prompt again and type !;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!:!;! (up to sixty total commands may be entered).

Enable cheat mode and enter klapaucius;: as a code. Then hold [Enter] so that "No such cheat" begins to flash. Keep the key held to gain up to 99 million simolians.

Easier repeat cheats:
To make it easier to repeat a code, such as the money code, first enter the code, then make a mistake after what you have repeated. For example enter the money cheat, then enter !;!;!;!;!;!: (note the colon at the end instead of a semi-colon). The game will respond "Sorry, invalid cheat" but you will have the amount that you requested. When you click "OK", the cheat will still be at the prompt. Press [Enter] again and click "OK" for another repeat of the cheat you entered. Note: The game will exit if too much money is accumulated.

Real music:
Note: This trick requires a music recording/downloading program. Record/download the music of your choice. After that save the music files to The Sims game in the path "/Maxis/The Sims/Music/Stations/" followed by "Rock", "Classical", "Latin", or "Country". This can also be saved so that the TV plays the music by selecting the "SoundData/TVStations" path instead of "Music", then choosing "Mystery", "Romance", "Comedy", or "Action".

Hint: Easier relationships:
Create a family with a male and female adult that are of the same category (such as Virgo and Virgo) and move them into a house (or created house). Immediately after selecting live mode make them kiss approximately ten times in a row to set their relationship meter to be 100. If you continue kissing the female should ask to have a baby.

You can make a room especially for the parents with no doors. Use the move_objects on code and put the parents in a room with no doors. If you want them to have a baby, have them kiss a few times (not necessarily ten) and she will ask about the baby

Hint: Friendship/lovers:
If you are trying to get a Sim to like another Sim, and you want to propose, sometimes the game will respond "I Can't think on an empty stomach". Before the Sim arrives, make a meal. If it gets late, delete the doors, then they cannot leave.

Hint: Selling the dead:
This is a useful trick if you had a Sim die. When Sims die, they leave an urn or a gravestone behind them which your Sim will mourn for 24 hours. After this time you can pick it up in furnish mode and sell it. You only get about 3 to 10 Simoleans for it, but it is better than turning your garden into a cemetery.

Hint: Magic garbage bag:
The following trick saves the time needed to take the garbage to the street. Buy the 30 simolian garbage can. Order your Sim to empty it, then cancel the order just as they remove the bag from the can. 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 be brought outside again.

Hint: Double phone message:
Place more than two phones in your house and wait for the phone to ring. Direct two of your Sims to answer different phones. By doing this, two messages will appear for each of your Sims. Sometimes the game will even offer some generous amount of money.

Hint: Another chance with the baby:
If you want to keep the baby after it is to be taken away. wait for the social worker to show up. Before she goes inside, enter house edit mode and delete all the doors that lead into your house. A screen saying you have a new baby will appear and prompt you to name it.

If your baby gets neglected and the social worker appears, quickly pause game play. Enable the "Move any object" code and enter build mode. Select the hand, pick up the social worker, and delete her. A new baby will appear.

Hint: Ghosts:
When someone dies in a family, and there are still family members remaining, they will be haunted by the ghost of the Sim that died.

Hint: Naked Sim:
Enable the move_objects on code when your Sim is inside the shower, when there is no pixelated censor. Then, move your Sim/shower to somewhere in the house and you can see your Sim naked.

Hint: Floating Sim:
Enable the move_objects on code. While your Sim is asleep, enter buy mode and move the bed. Your sim will be sleeping on nothing and their comfort will continue to increase. This works also with naps.

Hint: Never take out the garbage:
Buy the small blue 30 simolian garbage can. Whenever it is full, sell it for 30 simolians. Then, just buy a new one, and you will never have to take out the garbage again.

Hint: Full mood bars:
Enable the move_objects on code when your Sim is sleeping. Enter buy mode and remove the bed on which the Sim is sleeping. The Sim will disappear. When you return to live mode the Sim will reappear somewhere else in the house and all mood bars will be at 100%.

If your Sim is very depressed, enable the move_objects_on code and pause game play. Click on the Sim in buy/sell mode and click the bottom of the screen to delete him/her. Once deleted go to the live mode and double clock the person's head icon to go to where that Sim is located. Everything should be close to full.

Enable the move_objects on code, then select a walking Sim with a bad mood in the buy mode. Then, "sell" the Sim. Go back to the live mode and click on the icon of that Sim. Check his/her mood and all except "Room" and "Fun" will be full.

Hint: Never have the carpool leave:
Enable the move_objects on code and place the mailbox on one side of the road and your outdoor trash can on the other side; or put a wall across the road. When the carpool appears it will not get by..

Hint: 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.

Hint: Less time needed to pay bills:
When you get the bills, your Sim will normally walk inside put it on a table before they can be paid. Cancel the table action and that person will put it on the ground. Click on the bill and pay for it immediately.

Hint: Never pay bills:
Enable the "Move any objects" code. Then, pick up the mailbox and erase it. Bills cannot be delivered if you do not have a mailbox.

Hint: Deleting garbage and bills:
Use the hand to pick up either a plate, trash, or bills. Drag it over something on which you cannot place it, such as a couch or a plant. Then, press [Esc] and the object will disappear. This is especially useful if you do not want to command your Sims to clean up or pay the bills.

Hint: Cheaper wallpaper and floors:
Get money for old wallpaper before you paste new wallpaper in a room. Sell the old wallpaper, then paste the new. This also works on floors.

Hint: Free snack:
Have your Sim get a snack, and when he/she takes it out, cancel it out before the money message appears. Then, pick it up and eat it.

Hint: Free pizza:
Order a Pizza, and when the pizza man arrives, do not greet him. Before he leaves, use the move_objects on code to move the pizza out of his hand and put it inside the house.

Hint: VR head:
Order a Sim to put on a VR helmet, then start to tell him/her to do something else. The Sim will have a head with a VR helmet.

Hint: Stolen vehicles:
Enable the move_objects on code to steal the carpool car or schoolbus. Enter "Buy mode" or "Build Mode". Use the hand to highlight the car or bus. Move it onto a piece of land. Slant down the land around the car or bus. If done correctly, the vehicle will become stuck and begin to honk its horn. Enter "Buy mode" or "Build Mode" and delete the vehicle to return to normal.

Hint: Hostages:
You can keep Sims hostage (kids, adults, FBI agents, and people from the neighborhood) by making a house with one door. Once people are in the house, block the door by creating a pool around the house as large as desired. You can also block the door with stoves and other appliances.

Hint: Trap sim:
Have a Sim fall asleep on the floor. Enable the move_objects on code and move the Sim under the bed while sleeping. When they get up, they cannot move anywhere unless you move them again or move the bed.

Hint: Get rid of floods:
If the house floods, go to build mode, highlight the area, and click. An icon will appear. Click "Delete" to get rid of the flood.

Hint: Island house:
Build your house, but do not make it too large to have enough room for the water. Take the pool maker and place water all around the house. Note: Make sure you make a small pathway to the road so your Sim can get out of the house.

Hint: Easy way to kill a Sim:
Send an unwanted Sim to a specific spot. Enter build mode and place a wall around the Sim. Do not put else inside the room with the Sim. The Sim will die in two days.

First take an unwanted Sim and tell him or her to swim. Remove all the exits the and the Sim will die when he or she falls asleep. .

Glitch: Floating house:
Build a house on the wooden pillars and make sure you cover the entire area where you are building. After you are done, destroy the pillars underneath it and build stairs to get to your front porch.

Glitch: Disappearing Sim:
Build a large amount for stilts in a square pattern at least 10 wide and 10 long. Click the second level and put flooring on top of the stilts and walls around the top. Place stairs going up to the second level. Have your Sim go up the stairs, then remove the stilts. Enter build mode and delete the stairs and the house will disappear. Rebuild the stairs and click on them. The game should tell your Sim to go down. When have him or her go back up, they will disappear at the top.

Glitch: Swim indoors:
Make a pool. Hire a Maid and enable the move_objects on code. Pick up the Maid and place her in the pool. She will walk around on top of the water and fall in. She will then swim inside for a while until she gets to the object that she wants to clean.

Hint: Easy money:
Enable the "Free mode" code, then go to your house and buy a lot of expensive items. After that, save then restart your system. Do not enter the code again, then sell your items back for more money. The best item to do this with is the Monkey Butler Tree, which is worth 15,000 Simoleans.

Enable the "Free mode" ocde, then move your Sims into the cheapest house available. Then, buy a lot of expensive items (such as the Monkey Butler). After this, evict your Sims from that house, but do not empty the house. By doing this, your Sims keep the "assets" that they had, which turn into money for them. The house will then cost something similar to 99,999 Simoleans. To counter this, enter build mode for the house you moved your Sims out of, then sell off the Monkey Butler and other items you put up. The house will be cheap again. Move your Sims back in and they will have a lot of money.

Make a wall parallel to the sidewalk (with the trash can and mail box). Put the most expensive wallpaper on both sides. Then, press Square to sell the wallpaper on one side. If this does not work, try the opposite side. You should be able to sell one side's wallpaper repeatedly.

Use the following trick to make the wallpaper technique faster. As you sell the sheet of wallpaper, you must hold Square and release it to complete the sale. If you press Square repeatedly after the sale, the sales keep occurring for how many times it was pressed. Also, this trick works better if the wall has an intersection in the shape of a "T".

Hint: Alien abduction:
Buy the telescope and use it for too long. Your Sim will be abducted and disappear. It will reappear some hours later, with different stats.

Hint: Regain needs:
Skip work every other day, to the point where they call you but you will not get fired to regain your fun and social levels. While you are home, call over some friend(s) and play pool or a cooperative game.

You can use the Wiffer Puffer Gold to recover a certain part of your needs, such as comfort, fun, etc. according to the one you use. This is especially useful near where you read or work out.

Enable the "Free mode" code, then move your Sims into the cheapest house available. Then, buy a lot of expensive items (such as the Monkey Butler). After this, evict your Sims from that house, but do not empty the house. By doing this, your Sims keep the "assets" that they had, which turn into money for them. The house will then cost something similar to 99,999 Simoleans. To counter this, enter build mode for the house you moved your Sims out of, then sell off the Monkey Butler and other items you put up. The house will be cheap again. Move your Sims back in and they will have a lot of money.

Enable the "Free mode" code, start a game, and buy fifteen Heart Hot Tubs. Note: These must be unlocked in Get A Life mode first. After buying them, save the game and quit. Turn off the PlayStation2 to disable the code. Return to the same game and sell all the Heart Hot Tubs that were bought to get up to 99,999 Simoleans. Notice that when you pay bills, buy something, etc., your money will not decrease.

Buy a workbench and heighten your Mechanical, Creativity, and Body. Keep making Gnomes. If you have a very high status, you should be able to sell each gnome for at least 100 Simoleans. Making gnomes only take about one to two seconds each if you have a very high status.

Have a Sim with a high creative level. Start a painting or a sculpture. After it has been started, tell that Sim to stop, then have another Sim (with no creative points) finish it. Sell it, and you will still get as much money as you would if the Sim that originally started it had also finished it. You can even have your kids finish your painting and still get as much as if the parent did the painting.

Hint: Easy skills:
Evict a family. When this happens, their moods go up immediately after you move into another house. Once you get in a house, study, work out, etc.

If your energy or any other stats get low, evict yourself from the house. Reenter the house and all your stats will be renewed.

Hint: Easy Get A Life mode:
Enable the "Free mode: code. Buy an exercise machine, mirror, chess table and chairs, and paint board. While in your Mom's house, fill up all your stats.

Hint: Cheaper houses:
Enable the "Free mode" or "Midas mode" code. Go to Play The Sims mode. If a character does not have enough money to buy a house, bulldoze a worthless house and move that family in the field; or if there is a place with no house, move the family into that area. Pause game play and start building your house however desired.

Hint: Getting married:
To get married easily, invite a Sim of the opposite sex. But first, always throw a party and pick the Sim you want to marry. "Greet" them, "Talk" to them, then when they want to leave you will know their phone number. After dark, call that person. "Invite" them over. If they say "Sure", wait for them. Get to know them more. When you get the chance to "Flirt" with them, do so. Sooner or later she or he will fall in love with you. The next day (or perhaps on same day), get your Sim in a good mood (three green bars or more). Then, "Serve Dinner (Lunch, etc.)". When they are done eating as much as they desire, watch television. While they are watching television, highlight your "Guest" and give them the command to "Watch TV". They will "Watch TV" with you, talk to you, and their comfort will rise. Next ,"Talk" with them, "Tell Jokes", "Hug", "Dance", etc. If your Sim is still in a good mood (three green bars or more), you will have the option to "Propose" to the Sim you want to marry, Sometimes they will not accept (you will hear warning sirens) and they will state a reason. Do whatever they wanted you to do. When you fulfill their requests, "Propose" again. If you are lucky, they will accept. Note: You can only do this in Play The Sims mode.

Hint: Having a baby:
Create a family in Play The Sims mode. Get your Sim married. Then, evict your family and them back. Take the married couple to the bathroom and kiss. It may require four or five kisses for it to work. A little box will appear and ask if you want a baby.

Hint: Keep child home from school:
If you do not want your child to go to school and do not want to keep hearing the bus honk every few seconds, just let your child stand in the middle of the road where the bus waits everyday. Then the bus will not appear, and your child will not go to school.

Hint: Getting money after missing work:
If you miss work one day, do not answer the phone. Instead, wait until the next caller, who should call in later. They will give you some money.

Hint: Cancel newspapers:
Let your newspapers pile up for five days until you have five of them on your yard. On the sixth day, do not collect any and you will get a message stating that you will not receive any more papers because you have too many. Note: If you hire a maid, she will pick up the papers and you will continue to receive them.

Hint: Keep Major Dormo longer:
Call Major Dormo, then put a fence around his tree house after he leaves it. He will remain with you much longer, but will still eventually disappear.

Hint: Keep guests from leaving and improve your social status:
Throw a party. When your guests arrive, have them go inside your house. Pause game play and enter build mode. Wherever there is a door going outside, replace it with a wall. Resume the game. Since they cannot leave, they will stay and have a raging party. You can now talk all you want with your guests and they will not leave, eventually even marrying someone. You may also want to buy some beds in case they get tired.

Hint: Attack a Sim:
Insult a neighbor or your roommate until their name is down to -100. Then, go outside and display the action options (where you can choose to kiss, hug, insult, slap). You should now be able to attack the person. Do this about three times. Your roommate will have had enough and pack up and leave for good.

Hint: Killing Sims:
If you want to see the Grim Reaper and put a lot of tombstones in your backyard, enter build mode and add a fireplace. Fix up the house somewhat. When prompted to move in a family, create one and make several Sims. Have all of your Sims enter the room with the fireplace and have one of them light it and stand very close. The fire should catch them all if they were close enough. The Grim Reaper should show up to claim the family. Once he does, if there is one Sim remaining have them call the fire department. the Fire should go out and there should be several little tombstones sticking up out of the ash. Enter build mode, grab all of them, and place them in the backyard. If desired, you can add some flowers and other objects. They will become a grave. To get rid of the last Sim, lock them in a room with no windows or doors. They should die in three and a half days. Repeat the grave steps when the Grim Reaper reappears. if you want a very large graveyard, repeat all the steps. Note: This will not be a good home for families, as they will be mourning all the time.

Hint: Alien abduction:
Buy the telescope and use it for too long. Your Sim will be abducted and disappear. It will reappear some hours later, with different stats.

Hint: Nude Sim:
Note: This is easiest to do in Play The Sims mode. Get a fire place, then buy a rug and place it under the fireplace. Guy the heart shaped spa. Light the fireplace, get in the spa, and wait until there is a fire. Before your Sim gets out and starts jumping around because of the fire, cancel everything but the spa. Wait until the spa burns up. If done correctly, your Sim will appear in another part of room close to the wall, and will not have their clothes on. Note: The censor will still appear.

Hint: Topless female Sim:
This trick requires two Sims and the Heart Shaped Bed. Enable the "Third person view" code, then make the two Sims play in the bed. Make sure the Sim you are not controlling is a female. Press Black to look through the Sim's eyes. As you are getting into bed, use the Right Analog-stick to make your Sim look down at the female's Sim's chest. Note: You will notice that she has no breasts. Note: This may take a require a few attempts.

Hint: Zombie Sim:
Kill a Sim and wait for the Grim Reaper to appear. Plead for his or her life. The Grim Reaper will either ignore your plea, turn your Sim into a Zombie, or revive your Sim. If your Sim was revived, kill him or her again, then try again. The outcome is random. Note: Do not save the game if the Grim Reaper kills your Sim. Reload the game and try again. Zombie Sims do not have any features different from normal Sims other than a green color.

You can use the Wiffer Puffer Gold to recover a certain part of your needs, such as comfort, fun, etc. according to the one you use. This is especially useful near where you read or work out.

Buy a Bug Zapper from the electronics section of buy mode. Place it somewhere outside. Have an adult Sim touch the Bug Zapper (highlight and select the Bug Zapper for the options to appear). Then choose the "Touch" option and your Sim will get shocked by the Bug Zapper. Do this a few times and your Sim's energy level will be boosted, but they will need some comfort points.

Hint: SimCity reference:
Order a pizza. When the pizza delivery boy arrives, he should say "I made it here from SimCity in 20 minutes!"
