  The Sims 2 Tips & Tricks
This Page has been viewed 172,059 times
Buy expensive houses
First start a family or load one, and find an empty lot. Move the Sim on that lot. Enable the "motherlode" code a few times, just to the point where you can buy the expensive house. Exit the lot, but save the game. Then, evict (move out) the family. Notice that your family is displayed at the "Choose Family" window. You can now buy any house desired.

Never pay bills
Go to buy or build mode and use the hand tool. Pick up the mailbox and delete it.

Select a baby
Go into buy mode. Enable the "moveObjects on" code and click on the baby you wish to select. Without deselecting the baby, use the "moveObjects off" code. Still without deselecting baby, press [F1] to enter live mode. You will now be able to view the babies needs. The baby can only perform one interaction. Click on it, and for a moment a menu will appear that says "Grow Up"

Build toddler skill four times as fast
Wear a Thinking Cap and feed Smart Milk to your toddler.

Custom paintwork
Use the following trick to decorate your house with custom art. Your Sim must have a Creativity level of 5 and be able to paint a still life. Have your Sim paint, and a frame will appear. Center it on what you want to paint. You can also "paint" something that is not in the game by pressing C to pause the game, then press [Alt] + [Tab] to switch outside the game. Start a graphics program, such as Windows Paint, then load the original captured in-game picture at "c:mydocumentseagamesthesims2storytellingsnapshot.bmp". Then, open the picture or image that you want to replace it with, and put in your game. You must resize your custom picture to match the same resolution as the "snapshot.bmp" file. Copy your custom picture on to the "snapshot.bmp" file, then save it. Press [Alt] + [Tab] to switch back to the game. Your Sim will begin painting your custom picture.

Custom radio music
Copy your own MP3 files to the "c:mydocumentseagamesthesims2music[radio station]" folder. Start the game, go to the options menu, select the music settings, then the radio station option. You can now choose which songs you want to hear.

Custom television show
Copy your own AVI files to the "c:mydocumentseagamesthesims2music[television station]" folder. Note: The AVI file must have a 128x128 resolution and a frame rate less than or equal to 15 fps.

Invisible Sim
Enable the "StretchSkeleton" code and use the following value: 100000000000000000000000000000000000.0. Note: This will affect how tall the Sims will be. 1.0 is normal. Your Sim will be so tall that they cannot be seen. Exiting out of the game will deactivate the code.

Social worker does not leave
When you adopt a child, if you greet the social worker before she rings the doorbell, the social worker will not leave your house. If this happens, you cannot buy items, build, or save the game.
