How to stop the aging of your Sims:

In the game’s main options menu, go into “Game Options”, then look under “Options” for the option to toggle aging on or off. No cheat codes needed, easy does it!

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.

How do i get the cheat mode unlocked on my ipod touch?

I just got the SIMS3 On saturday. I got at EB games and when I played it I was very disapointed how the graphics werent working very well. So i bought a graphics card to make the graphics better but didnt work. And you cant speed up the time! I deleted mostly everything on my computer for it to work!! Sims3 on my vista computer is so slow, if i pause it and play again it takes 5 minutes to get back to what my sim was doing!!!!

Hey i know what’s the thing for “enablellamas” after the cheat is done look at your reward points or what ever (those points that use to buy Super green thumb and More Creative and etc.) then you’ll see that those points increases a point by a minuite (game minute) so when you fast forward your reward points will increse 1 by 1 dramatically (sorry 4 bad english)

How do u do charts on an iPod touch! Please if u know email me at zeykey@hotmail.com

I meant cheats up above

well i guess some of these are helpful.

When’s it out on the 360? mcjakeqcool

TS2 had so many useful cheats… this is kind of disappointing. even TestingCheatsEnabled gives you 2 options

Hey, Woph. The reason that it’s not working is because your a ****ing Windows user. GET A MAC PEOPLE, IT WORKS SO MUCH BETTER!

My sim has the death flower and when he dies he won’t offer it to the grim reaper. I’ve tried multiple times but he just dies everytime. His belongings go to another sim and that sim then has the death flower. If anyone could help I would greatly appreciate it.
