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.

Melexi1

if u want more hair & clothes, go online and look for some….and they DO HAVE PETS. and on the sims 3 for wii u can swim in the ocean/lake. and u can also look for spiral stairs. & they added this stuff so u can play longer. bcuz if u havent noticed, on sims 2 it was a big fail because ppl would get bored easily with the game.
