Hint:
Heidi Shadows: Heidi Shadows is a secret ninja character that sells you cheats.
She can be found southwest of Imperial Estates on Mondays (11 p.m. to 12
a.m.) and in the northern corner of the Park Maze on Fridays (3 a.m. to 4
a.m.). Mondays are days 1, 8, 15, 22, 29, 36, 43, 50, 57, 64, 71, 78, 85,
92, 99, 106, 113, 120, 127, 134, 141, 148, 155, etc. (every seven days).
Fridays are days 5, 12, 19, 26, 33, 40, 47, 54, 61, 68, 75, 82, 89, 96, 103,
110, 117, 124, 131, 138, 145, 152, 159, etc. (every seven days). She will
sell you cheats that can save you a lot of time on getting skill points.
When you find her south of Imperial Estates, buy from her, and do not leave
so that she dos not disappear. Buy out her shop, then wait until after 1
a.m. and go to her again. She will be completely restocked.
To get 5,000 Simoleons, buy the
flower from Heidi Shadows. It only costs 800 Simoleons.
When you find Heidi Shadows,
buy two rosebuds, then wait until she appears again. Buy more rosebuds. Keep
doing this every time she appears to get a lot of Simoleons.
Use the following trick to get
10,000 simoleons a week. Go to Heidi Shadowsand buy the rosebud. Keep Heidi
in your view until 12:00 a.m. then talk to her again. She will have
restocked. Then, buy the last rosebud of the week.
Hint:
Getting inside Earl's ghost's house: To get inside Earl's ghost's house, you will have to pick the
lock ten to twenty times. Sometimes when you go into the sewer, the screen
will move to a selected location. Go there and take the chairs. They sell
for 1,000 Simoleons.
Alternately, get your
mechanical skill points to about four and pick the lock once to open it.
To get to the Haunted Shack
where you will find Earl the ghost, you must take the sewers, which you will
unlock. To find the correct ladder in the sewers, you must go all the way to
the southwest corner. The correct ladder is there. You must have four points
of logic to talk to Earl the ghost, only at night. To unlock the gate to the
shack, you must pick the lock from ten to twenty times. The riddles that you
have to solve that Earl will give you are for a Crystal Ball Table, a Suit
of Armor, a Venus Fly Trap, and something else. Be careful -- if you get one
wrong, Earl will knock you out and you will end up in the hospital and must
start the questions all over.
Hint:
Answers to Earl's ghost's questions: If you answer all of the following questions correctly, you will
get all the furniture in his secret place (outside). The items are a
crystal-ball table, a suit of armor, an Venus fly trap, and another item.
Note: The crystal-ball table will increase your fun and sleep level. The
ghost lives outside town in the mansion east of town. The only way to get
there is to go through the secret passageway (the sewers).
1. How many sides dose a
circle have? A. 2.
2. An apple, grape, banana, pear which do not belong? A. Banana.
3. How many letters are in the alphabet? A. 11.
4. BCDEKIOX which letter completes the pattern? A. H.
5. If you fill me I can point the way. If not full I do not move. I have

Hint:
Mover Madness prices: From level 1 to 5, the price taken from your salary goes up by 10
Simoleons.
Hint:
Easy money: To get more Simoleons, become a level 5 Master Mower. You will
get 10 Simoleons per shrub, which equals 600 Simoleons and higher. Note:
Running over chickens will not lower your money, but the flowers will take a
lot more money than usual.
To make more money, get
promoted to level five on the Smoothie Slider game. You can get more than
1,000 Simoleons each time.
Spend lots of days at Uncle
Hayseed's mowing the lawn, then use his house to get your needs up.
You can receive at least 1,000
Simoleons when on level five on the game jam session.
Hint:
Cheaper food: To get cheaper food when using the Dialectic Range And Stove,
wait until 11 p.m. The "Make late night snack" option will appear.
It will cost you 20 Simoleons instead of 40.
Hint:
Areas to increase your skills:
Library: All
Gym: Charisma, Body
Farm: Mechanical up to 2
Jail: Body
Turing Labyrinth: Creativity
Heidi Shadows: All
Hint:
Using the library: When advancing skills in the library, the process will not get
disrupted when either one of your bars are depleted, unlike the gym. The
painting easel will also not disrupt the process. Thus, you can leave your
character to advance the skill until you hear the familiar guitar sound.
However, if you overdo it, your character might pass out from not eating.
Hint:
Library vs. gym: The gym will reduce your stamina bar and hygiene bar but the
library will only reduce the comfort bar, and also much slower.
Hint:
Selling paintings: Go to the lover's spot in the painting mission and buy a canvas
and paint a masterpiece. After you go to the lover's spotm you will never be
able to sell paintings for money again.
Hint:
Flyers: The flyers can be found in the Knick Nack shop. Give them to ten
people to complete that objective.
Hint:
Guitar: To get the Guitar, go to the back of the department store (not
the main one) at 12:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. Look in his van after talking to
him. To get the place to jam, talk to Uncle Hayseed when he is at level 50
with you.
Hint:
Ghostly Gift: Go to the Waterfront Villa. The man hole there leads to the
sewers. In there you should see the Ghostly Gift (or urn). Pick it up for
the "Goal Completed" message.
Hint:
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.
Hint:
Fishing mini-game: If you hook a fish, press A + Up rapidly. You will
not ever lose a fish.
Hint:
Pizza mini-game: In the pizza min-game, you can move the plate that you launch
pizza on from side to side by pressing Right or Left, however
do not move it too fast. You will drop the pizza and lose your ingredients.
Hint:
Placing wall objects behind floor objects: Use the following trick to place wall objects which you will
never interact with behind floor objects. Like the fire alarm and the
burglar alarm, put the alarm against the wall first, then put the floor
object (stoves etc.) on the same spot. Otherwise you cannot place them
together.
Hint:
Burglar: Every time you get burgled, think of Giuseppi. Also, after he is
arrested, you will not get burgled anymore.
Hint:
Aluminum cans: In the entire game you will need 35 aluminum cans. Do not sell
them until you finish those quests. Besides, they are the lowest valued of
the five sellable items.
Most likely every day, you can
find two cans on the grass patch in front of the Waterfont villa.
Hint:
Paradise Island: You must go to Paradise Island to receive four items at the store
which you cannot get anywhere else: Denizen Cane Double Bed, Denizen Cane
Bamboo Chair, Denizen Cane Bamboo Recliner, and Giant Tiki Head. You cannot
get them at the General Store or Cheatum And Howe's Retail. You can get to
Paradise Island by linking two Game Boy Advances with The Sims: Bustin'
Out.
Hint:
The Hills: The hills in mission 5 can be found at that blocked off area next
to the "Country Cafe''.
Hint:
Sand castles: You can build a sand castle by the Dockside Dinner in the sand,
next to the boat.
Hint:
Items to buy: In the entire game, you do not need to buy a lot of items. The
set of items which should be kept (in order) is:
Phone (free from the start)
Toilet (free from the start)
Savvy Shower (buy it; part of quest)
Stove (buy it)
Fire alarm (buy it)
Burglar alarm (buy it)
Aquarius/Capricorn/etc./etc. Recliner (free from the sewers secret area)
Crystal Ball (free from Earl Euphram's prize)
The rest of the items you
receive, once you find a good replacement (such as the Crystal Ball for the
bed). You can sell the rest off. Note: You have to increase your skills at
the library, etc.
Hint:
Friends: You will need 13 friends in the entire game (above 50). Note: In
Chapter 5 you must get relationships with O Phil and Misty Waters to -50' do
not waste your efforts on them (after you get Bait Slinger).
Hint:
Raise stats: If your Sim has a roomate of the opposite gender, and their
roommate sits on a couch with room for two people, have your Sim sit on the
couch next to their roommate. This will raise your Energy, Social, Comfort
and Fun bars all at the same time.
Hint:
Free items: Link two Game Boy Advances together and go to the library in both
games. Go to the computer to link them together. At the computer, there will
be an auction-like setting, but with only the players. To give free items
have one player choose an item, then lower the price to 0 by pressing Down.
The player who gave the item away should then exit out of the auction and
turn off their Game Boy Advance without saving. When it is turned back on,
you will have all the items you traded away, and the person you traded them
to will also have them.
Hint:
Alternate item color: Stand in front of furniture or another item that you own, then
press R.
Hint:
Fishing tips:
Lure A: Blue fish
Lure B: Green fish
Lure C: Black fish
Generally in size, you will see
that from biggest to smallest, the fishes are in Blue, Green and Black. When
you get promoted you will start seeing bigger fishes of different types. Mix
and match your own fishing style, but when you see unusually big black fish
or unusually big green fish, go for them. Otherwise, take the big blue fish.
Even a black fish that is the size of a usual sized green fish can be a
shark. To get the big fishes (swordfish and shark) in easily, keep tapping A
and Down.
Glitch:
Fire: This happens when you have a fire alarm installed and your stove
catches fire. Then, the fire will show up at your door entrance for a brief
moment.
Glitch:
Daddy Bigbucks dialogue: When Daddy Bigbucks says that he is at Paradise Island, he says
"Hey I'll tanning on Paradise Island for [quite] a while" instead
of saying "Hey I'll be tanning on Paradise Island for [quite] a
while".
Glitch:
Lottie Cash dialogue: Sometimes when you call Lottie Cash early in the morning she will
say she is tanning on Paradise Island.
Glitch:
Occupant on every floor: If you get someone to move in with you, they will be on every
floor of the house.
Glitch:
Closing times: When you go inside any building and stay in it until after
closing time, you can remain there as long as desired.
Glitch:
Floating item: Place something on a tabletop and remove the table. The first
item will float. For example, put a lamp on a table then take out the table;
the lamp will float. This works most of the time.
