Boosting a low budget - At Mom's house,
Mimi's place, or Dudley's trailer, buy things until your
budget drops below $100. Wait about an hour. When the
phone rings, answer it. You will get free money. Repeat
this as necessary.
Dead plants - When a plant is dead, do not throw it
away. You can sell the dead plant for as much as a new
plant costs.
Easy money - When you go to a house and do not have much
money, trade in all the wallpaper and buy the cheap
version. You can get a good amount of money. You can do
the same thing with the tile.
Fishin' For Profit book - To get the Fishin' For Profit
book go to Nikki Nack's store (open from 9 a.m. to 5
p.m.). After you buy it, find O'Phil Mclean. Give it to
him and he will give you a job. Note - You must get the
goals from him first. To do this, talk to Salty. Later
in the game, you will be offered by Nikki Nack to buy
the Waterfront Villa for 3,000 Simoleons.
Get a bigger room - When at Dudley's trailer, go to the
master bedroom. Then, sell the door that leads to the
smaller room so that there is just a wall. Next, make a
door at the top right corner so that there is a place
you could walk into the smaller room. Then, decorate
both rooms' wallpaper and carpet to be the same and you
will have a bigger room.
Jock career - To successfully complete the Jock career,
you need to have all Body points, 4 Cooking points, and
5 Charisma points. You will also need six friends. A
quick way to complete this is go to Mom's house and buy
something to work your body (for example, a treadmill,
pool, a bookshelf or something similar to the gourmet
cooking stove; and something for your charisma (for
example, a microphone or a mirror). Do that, then build
your skills and move to the different houses so you can
complete a goal and unlock something. You will
eventually get to Malcolm's mansion.
Never work - In Bustin' Out mode, the people who you
live with cannot get fired. If you want them to stay
home, just let them. This can be very useful if you need
them to clean up, or need them to do some other things.
Raising a baby - When you have a baby, do not play with
it ever, as it does nothing. If you feed it then sing,
it will stop crying for a couple of hours.
Raise motives - To help raise motives in later levels,
move back to Mom's house. The Artificial Love will make
raising motives easier.
Raising skills - While living with Mom, do not run out
and get a job after you have completed the first few
goals. Instead, stay around awhile and use that time to
build skills. Mom will nag you, but just select "Okay"
and keep doing everything else. Make sure to keep
yourself happy and entertain/talk/joke with Mom to keep
your relationship up to par. When you have your skills
where you want them, move out. This will make things
much easier. You will then be able to concentrate on
your job and relationships, rather than skill building.
Skipping work - In Bustin' Out mode, you can skip work
by moving back into Mom's house. While you live with
Mom, the bus will not arrive, and you do not have to
work. This is useful if things are not going so well and
you need some time to "restore" your Sim.
Throw an art opening - When you move to Studio 8, one of
the goals is to throw an art opening. In order for the
art opening to be successful, you have to purchase a
Sculpting Block and sculpt it first. Then, have the
party and it will be successful. However, before you can
purchase the Sculpting Block, you must complete the goal
that will give you access to it.
