Go Back An Age
To go back an age, all you have to do is enter the testingCheatsenabled true code. Shift click the person whose age you want to change and then go to create-a-sim mode. Their you can change the sim back to a young adult teenager or a nature adult.
Keeping Your Garden Successful.
If your sim is in the gardener career and you find it hard to keep all of your plants watered you can put sprinklers in your garden. The sprinklers help keep the plants watered and makes your garden more successful! I know this works because I have done it! You can find the sprinklers in outdoors activities in buy mode.
How To Age Faster!
If you don't want to sit and wait for your kids to grow from baby to adults, well there is a way to speed it up! It is easy. Just buy a birthday cake and blow out the candles. You can only do this once a day with each person. So if I wanted my baby to grown up I would by a cake and have them blow out the candles then I would wait till the next day and do it over. It isn't hard and if you have the family thing it makes it easier to grow up!
Getting To Pick The Traits For Your Baby!
Your mother sims mood is the best way to get the chance to select your baby's Traits! The happier the mother is. The BETTER! Massage away those backaches, indulge those food cravings! Pamper her every chance! If mother was happy during the prego You get to pick BOTH traits for baby! If she was pretty happy you get to pick one trait! If she was in an okay mood for most of the prego both traits are assigned randomly! A mother unhappy during her prego one is chosen randomly and the second one is pulled from the Negative traits! (evil, snob, neurotic, loner, etc! ) Now if the prego was a disaster of sickness, cravings, and backaches, then both traits will come from the negative trait pool! Now there is one more thing you can do to affect the pergo and increase the chances of getting to pick the two traits! Go down to the bookstore and BUY both Prego books! 'Totally Preggers'An Expectant mothers tale and baby incoming' Read them both if you can! It helps alot!
Play YOUR Music In The Sims 3
Step 1: Open the EA folder where The Sims 3 is found and open 'The Sims 3' Folderexample: my 'EA' folder is under Documents>Electronic Arts>The Sims 3
Step 2: Open the 'Custom Music' Folder, if you bought a certain Sims 3 Expansion Pack there are a few songs there already. (i deleted them, that's up to you if you want to or not)
Step 3: If you have ITunes, Open that or wherever you have stored your music. Move your favorite songs into the 'Custom Music' folder and now your songs will be heard on the radio under 'Custom Music'!
Hope this works out for you, It did for me!Excited to say this is my first ever cheat entry xD.
Boy And Girl Twins
Normally in Sims, you can't have fraternal twins (One boy one girl). But there is a way! It's worked for me MANY times.
1) Get the 'Fertility Treatment' LifeTime Reward for one or both of the parents
2) Get the mother pregnant (Wait until she actually gets the pregnant moodlet)
3) Go see a sim that is Level 5 or more in the medical carrer and ask to 'Determine Gender of Baby'.
4) Once the doctor tells you what it is, go to the store and buy the OPPOSITE fruit of that gender. Ex: If it's a girl go buy apples. If it's a boy go buy watermelons. Eat ATLEAST THREE OF THAT FRUIT.
5) Have the pregnant sims watch kids channel and listent to kids radio station at the same time for long periods of time until babies are born (It won't work if it's not twins or triplets)
6) When baby comes go to the hospital. The gender that the doctor said it'll be will be born FIRST then the baby of the opposite gender. If it's triplets usually the third baby is most likely the opposite of the first one.
Note, this may not work if they aren't twins or triplets. Make sure you have room in your household too!
How To Make The Neighborhood Better
If you were wondering how to make all of the houses or buildings around you, this is what you do:
1. I like to make my neighbors house better or just sell the stuff inside, you first need to open the cheatbar and type in 'testingceatsenabed true', then you go and click on any residence or building while holding shift and click on build on this lot.
2. While building you can switch to buying anytime you want and you can bring out the sledge hammer tool and sell all of their furniture for some extra cash, the best places to look are in their garage but none of my neighbors have nice cars.

Normal- 90 Sim Days
Long- 190 Sim Days

Watching your own videos on the TVUse the following trick to watch your own videos on the Sim television. Place the video you want into the '/My Documents/EA Games/The Sims 3/Movies/Broadcast/[television station]' folder. Turn on the television in the game, and you can watch it. The video must be in .AVI format, with a resolution no larger than 128x128 pixels, and frame rate not greater than 15 frames per second.
Listening to your own music on the radioPlace the desired .MP3 files in the '/My Documents/EA Games/The Sims 3/Music/[radio station]' folder. Start the game, go to 'Options' menu, select 'Music Settings', then choose radio station. Select which songs you want the radio to play.
Easy moneyStart writing novels on your computer. Write fiction novels as they take the least amount of time. They will not bring you too much Simoleons. When you write, your skill will automatically advance. If your skill is high enough, you will be able to write more novel types/genres. The most money can be made from 'Romance Novels'. You will get royalties for six weeks once you finish a book. With the 'Writing' skill maxed out, you can make approximately 40,000 Simoleons every week, which is more than the 34,800 Simoleons you can get by purchasing all neighborhood businesses, and takes less time to achieve. In three game weeks you should have a very high speed writing, 9 or 10 novels as best sellers, and 100,000 Simoleons.
Saving moneyNo matter how many times you use an object, if you sell it the same day you got it you can get all your money back. If your Sim is poor and needs body points or something else, buy a body machine and keep selling it back to get a refund of all your money.
Easy Cooking, Fishing, and Gardening skillsThis trick requires a TV with a Cooking, Fishing, or Gardening channel and a video game system. Have a Sim sit down and watch television. Switch the TV over to one of the previously mentioned channels so that the Sim can start earning his or her skill point. Then, have a second Sim go over and start playing video games. Notice that although the TV is displaying video games, the first Sim still has the skill meter above their head. Allow this Sim to sit there for as long as they please until they decide to do another activity of their own. After that, the skill meter should stay above their head until you start another Cooking, Fishing, or Gardening skill activity. As an added bonus, you can train two skill points at once. For example, work out and both the Athletic and Cooking skills will continue to rise. If you keep repeating the steps until each skill channel has been viewed, the Sim will keep learning the three skills as he or she goes on about their daily life, and four when doing skill activities.
Buy a bookcase, then have your Sim begin to study. Interrupt the action so that the book is placed on the ground. Sell the bookcase. The book can now do everything the bookcase could have done for free.
Increasing chance to have baby boysHave a pregnant female Sim eat apples to increase the chance of having a boy.
Increasing chance to have baby girlsHave a pregnant female Sim eat watermelons to increase the chance of having a girl.
Increasing chance for multiple babiesTo increase the chance of having twins or triplets, have one or both parents have the lifetime reward of Fertility Treatment.
Sims 3 Cheat Codes Motherlode
Ghost babySet one of your female Sim's traits to Kleptomaniac. Go to the graveyard, and have the Sim steal male remains. On the second day after putting the male remains in your home, a ghost will appear at 11:00 p.m. and disappear at 4:00 a.m. It will appear every other day. Socialize with the ghost every night it appears. When you become best friends with the ghost, it will begin appearing every night. Get the 'Fertility' reward. Confess your attraction to the ghost. Ask to snuggle on the bed, and kiss him. Try for a baby every night until you start throwing up. You will now have a ghost baby that you can control.
Ghosts in your houseGo to the graveyard, click on all the tombstones, and take all possible tombstones. Return to your house, and place them somewhere in your backyard. You now have a 70% chance of a ghost or two, or even a whole party of ghosts visiting your house each night. To improve your chances, write in the epitaph 'Here Lies [Sim's name], The One Who Returns'.
Making friendsBuy a guitar. Play it to learn how to play guitar. Keep playing until you reach 5/10 level, which gives you the ability to 'Play For Tips'. When you have that ability, go to the park with the guitar in your inventory. When you are in the park, click the guitar in your inventory, and select 'Play For Tips'. People watching you will become your friends if you keep playing. The higher your guitar skill, the faster they will become friends with you.
Disable agingInstead of using a cheat code to toggle 'aging on' and 'aging off' like in The Sims 2, you can de-activate the age in 'Game Options' under 'Options'. When you uncheck the box next to 'Aging', your Sims will no longer become older. You can also slow aging down in this menu by setting the 'Lifetime' bar. It can be set from 25 days to 960 days.
Quickly advance ageUse the following trick to change your Sim's age (toddler, child, teen, etc.) quickly. Buy a birthday cake from the grocery store, and place it somewhere on your lot. Click the cake, and select 'Have Birthday'. Then, choose the Sim to be aged. This is a good method to get past the baby stage.
Avoiding deathGo to Pleasant Rest Graveyard. Near the gate is a bush called 'Death Flower Bush'. Harvest the flower from it, and keep it in your Sim's inventory. If you die, that Sim will give the flower to the Grim Reaper and be resurrected. Although the flower will not reappear there again, if your Sim has Level 7 Gardening, they can plant the 'Unknown Special Seeds' found in the graveyard and some other places that have a chance to grow as a Death Flower. Note: Having the Green Thumb trait to revive the plant may help.
Changing your nameTo easily change your name, go to the map, and find City Hall. It should give you an option to change your name during the day between 8:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. Monday through Friday.
New clothesTo get new clothes, you first have to buy a dresser from 'Buy Options'. Once there, click 'Plan Outfit'. You can put a total of three different clothes for each type (formal, every day, athletic, etc.).
Learning all guitar songs from booksHave your Sim reach Guitar skill level 5. Have a level 5 book in their inventory, click the guitar, then select 'New Song' to learn it. After reaching Guitar skill level 6, do the same thing with a level 6 book. Repeat the process until the Sim reaches Guitar skill level 10, and they will know all songs that were taught.
Creating brilliant paintings or masterpiecesCreate a stylized still life after it is unlocked. Choose 'Genius', and make it in the largest possible frame. You will now have a much better chance of getting a brilliant painting or masterpiece.
Building a basementPut down staircases on a new lot to lower the terrain. Go to the bottom of the first one, and miss out one tile, then put down another staircase. Repeat this again to have three staircases. Delete the staircases. Use the 'Level Terrain' tool to level the terrain from the lowest tile. Set it as big or small as desired. Using the 'Straight Line Wall' tool, build walls around this hole so there are walls pressed up against hills. Build the room above so it covers the entire basement. Cover around the house with the 'Foundation' tool; all the slopes should be covered up. Place one tile in the top floor, then create a staircase leading down to the basement. Make two or more foundation blocks at the front of the house, and place a staircase leading up them.
Duck Time moodletBuy the Ducksworth of Bathington, and place it in your bathtub. When a Sim takes a bath, they will get the Duck Time moodlet which results in a +15 boost for four hours.
Getting rid of dirty dishesDrag an empty plate into a Sim's inventory, then drag it to sell. You will not get any money, but if your Sim does not have a dish washer, it is a quick and efficient way to get rid of dirty dishes.
Strange facesThere is a glitch in Create-A-Sim mode that allows to you to make very strange faces. Go to the face designing area. Select a face part such as the eyes, and max out all the sliders one way or the other. Then, go to a different face part, and select one of the predesigned parts. Return to the eyes. The sliders will have reset to the middle, but the eyes will still look the same. This works for all of the face adjusting tabs. You can then continue to max out the size of the eyes and repeat. You can make eyes the size of dinner plates, very long cheekbones, huge noses, and more.
Hording pizzaHave a Sim call for pizza. When the pizza delivery man arrives, do not accept the pizza. The delivery man will eventually leave the pizza on the front porch, and it will never get stale. You can stack as many pizzas there as you want. If your Sims get hungry, just tell them to get a pizza from the front porch.
EA game referencesWhen you have the video game system and your Sims play it, zoom in on the TV to see that the games they are playing are various Electronic Arts titles.
Spore referenceHave a Sim reach the top painting level to have the ability to create masterpieces. One of the paintings that can be created is that of a creature from Spore.
