Quick money:
Enable cheat mode and enter the klapaucius code. Display the cheat prompt
again & type !;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!:!;!
(up to sixty total commands may be entered).
Easier repeat cheats:
To make it easier to repeat a code, such as the money code, first enter the
code, then make a mistake after what you have repeated. For example enter
the money cheat, then enter !;!;!;!;!;!: (note the colon at the end instead
of a semi-colon). The game will respond "Sorry, invalid cheat" but you will
have the amount that you requested. When you click "OK", the cheat will
still be at the prompt. Press [Enter] again and click "OK" for another
repeat of the cheat you entered.
Magic garbage bag:
The following trick saves 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 can. 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 be brought outside again.
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.
