    How to make easy money:

    To become rich very fast by writing books, you have to take these steps.
    1. Start writing novels on your computer. Write fiction novels since they take the least amount of time. But at first they won’t bring in much money.
    2. When you write your skill will automatically advance. If your skill is high enough you will be able to write more novel types/genres.
    3. The most money can be made from “Romance Novels”. You get royalties for 6 weeks once you finish a book.
    4. With the writing skill maxed out, you can make around 40.000 every week, which is more than 34.800 you get by purchasing all neighborhood businesses and takes less time to achieve.
    5. In three game weeks you should have super high-speed writing, 9/10 novels as best-sellers and 100.000.

    How to make friends easily:

    To become friends with the whole neighborhood, you have to take these steps.
    1. Buy a guitar, then play it to learn how to play guitar. The higher your guitar skill is, the faster other Sims become your friends.
    2. Keep playing until you reach level 5/10, which gives you the ability to “play for tips”.
    3. When you have the ability, go to the park with the guitar in your inventory.
    4. When you are in the park, click on the guitar in your inventory and select “play for tips”.

    How to prevent death:

    1. Go to Pleasant Rest Graveyard, and near the gate, there is a strange bush called a “Death Flower Bush” – Harvest the flower from it.
    2. Keep this flower in your sim’s inventory, and if you die, you will automatically offer this flower to the Grim Reaper, who will ressurect you in exchange for it.
    Note: This flower will not reappear, but there are Unknown Special Seeds (requires level 7 Gardening to plant) dotted about near the graveyard (and a few other places) which may grow another Death Flower(and sometimes more Death Flowers if your Sim has the Green Thumb trait to revive the plant.

    It’s set upon fufilling goals and dreams for your Sims,
    while lacking alittle fun and spice!
    ((like all the customizations they raved about))::

    [[which im sure they'll add in an upcomming expansion pack]]–
    Anyone else find the controls to be confusing??
    /annoying.

    haha~

    Someone PLEASE help me! I got the Sims 3 and was wondering why IT WON’T SPEED UP??? PLEASE HELP ME!!!

    okay. i dont understand why the sims 3 is SO difficult to instal onto my computer. Its much more complicated then i expected i hope it doesnt damage my computer.

    Sims 3 is fun however after buying all the Sims 2 packs it looks like EA is trying to milk the cash cow and make gamers and fans of the series buy the same expansion packs. The game should pick up from where the last series left off in terms of building supplies, vehicles and clothingl NOT DOWNGRADE! To EA’s defense the graphics are substantially greater and yes its nice to see that you can edit textures and beter placement controls. But Sims 3 creators should at least put more effort into thier expansion sets. After all it is really crappy to shell out ones hard earned coin to only recieve minimal upgrades. Here’s a few ideas for EA for expansions on Sims 3.

    1.- Sims 3 Map and Lot editors (why EA removed the feature to place your own lots is lost to me and i assume other gamers) Also it would be nice to see what nieghborhoods other gamers can create.

    2.- Sims 3 Daytimer – create a timetable for sims to minimize micro-management

    3.- Sims 3 Expansion Sets
    - Gearheads – Create your own vehicles from Basic to Batmobile :) as well as build and manage ur own garage.

    - Fashionista – Become the worlds next top Designer, create your own clothing designs and Marketing strategies, sabotage rivals runways, etc.

    - Pets – Dogs, Cats, Birds, Lizards and Fish. Get Sharks for your fishtank

    - Farmlands – Create your own farm complete with farm animals. Grow crops or Raise livestock for slaughter. should include new greenhouse equipment.

    - Zoos and Waterparks – Create your own zoo or version of sea world

    - Recreation

    anyways thats all i could think of for now hope someone at EA reads this.

    3.

    I am frustrated also about having all the expansion packs for sims 2 and now have downgraded what my sims are able to do. I like the basic features they have added as far as how my sims can look though.

    tbh i’m a little dissappointed with the sims 3.
    not as good as i expected, i hate the new camera, i hate the fact that you cant just exit the neighbourhood normally, and all the little glitches that you get e.g babysitter running off with the baby.
    but on the plus side the moodlets are cool, however i liked the memory thing they had on the sims2 cos that worked. i also like that in the family relationships pannel, it tels you their exact relation e.g sister in law. i also think that the CAS is pretty cool, however really hard!
    is anyone else having any trouble with installing content, my computer crashes when i do. its so annoying cos i would like to add some hair, cos the hair isnt very good.

    xx

    I no this question is kinda stupid well really im stupid for asking it but my sim wants to buy a guitar and i cant find 1 anywhere does someone no where 2 get it

    i cant wait till i get sims 3 it is going 2 be awsome and i was wondering if u can give me some tips of what not 2 do in sims 3

    Travis I completely agree with you. There isn’t much more you can do in the Sims 3 than the Sims 2! You have amazing ideas! I would love to have any of those in the game! A farm would be really cool. They should do those ideas for expansion packs. I would definitely buy it.

    I think sims3 is good but the choice of things like the clotes,sofa and so on is limited…..I hope the up coming expansion pack is focusing on the new stuff like what Travis had mention…modifing a car from basic to batmobile…Overall…..i love this game…i give 9/10
