The Sims

This first cheat is for version 1.1

Hit CTRL + Shift + C

Type Rosebud; ;

Press the enter key and hold it down until you get the desired amount.

Thanks to Artemis LittleMoon for this one.

Magic garbage bag
The following trick will save the time needed to take the garbage to the street. Buy the 30 simolian trash can. Order your Sim to empty it, then cancel the order just as they remove the bag from the trashcan. Then, order them to pick up the mess that they just created. Your Sim will return the full bag to an empty can. Repeat this each time it fills and trash will never have to be brought outside again.

2:  Whenever your garbage can is full, go to the buy mode and sell it!  Since it only takes a few days to get full, you will get the full amount back.   Then just buy a new one.

Thanks to Amanda for this one.

Less bills
Keep an unpaid bill until the mailman delivers the next set of bills. Pay the original bill when your mailbox is filled with the next set of bills. This should cause the bills inside the mailbox to disappear.

Quick money
While playing a game, press [Ctrl] + [Shift] + [Alt] + C and enter the "klapaucius" code. Then, display the cheat prompt again and type "!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!:!;!" (up to sixty total commands may be entered).

I have just been informed by a visitor that you can also type in !;9 and then keep clicking "Enter".

Free Cell
To keep losses to a minimum on your statistics, when you see you are on your last possible move before losing the game you are playing, minimise that game to the bottom of the screen and play another if you want to.  You can keep doing this when you know you are about to lose the game.  When you finish, shut down the computer.  When restarting these almost lost games will not be counted as losses.

Time of day

I have been informed that if you want to set a different time of day type in set_hour then type in a number from 1-24.

Baby

Apparently if you want your baby to sleep all day do feed, play, sing, feed, sing.
