No Censor Curtain

Get someone in a bath or love bed. Put a fire place next to it, buy a cheap rug under bed or bath. If fire goes on the bed or bath, they will hop out. The censor curtain will appear, and when they hop out off you can see them uncensored.

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 Circle 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.

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. 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.

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" 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. 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". 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.

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.

Easy Promotions

To get promoted quickly, always check your Job Panel and look at the Smiley face and the numbers next to it. Notice that there are two numbers. The one on the left, if you have a job, will have a number. You have to make as many Family Friends to equal how many that number is. When you get the correct amount of Family Friends, if you have any Yellow looking bars next to your Cooking, Mechanical, etc., you will need to fill those up by looking in a mirror and practicing speeches, Charisma, or working out on a treadmill, body exerciser, etc. When you go to work the next day or so, or if your Sim needs adjustment to its feelings, keep it home one day from work. Fill up its needs and wait the next day. When you go to work and your Sim is in a good mood (filling its needs), check the job panel. Highlight the job they have, press X, and it will show you their performance. If the performance is "Good", you will most likely be promoted when you get home. If it does not work the first time, keep filling their needs and send them to work in a very good mood.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
