Accessing Moon Base Zeta
Purchase a green meteorite off the Internet shopping.
Then, with the meteorite still in you pocket, go to Sim Quarter
and use the telephone booth. The moon base, where you can buy
the Rocket Bed and Cheese Modulator, is now open. Note: Complete
the first group of missions before attempting to open Moonbase
Zeta. If it is still not accessible, then complete the secret
missions and try again. Also, if it says "Phone home"
when you use it, that means it worked and you can use it.
To get to the moon base, buy a meteorite from the Internet. Keep
it in your pocket and go to the red telephone booth in SimQuarter.
Go inside, and select "Home". This will take you to
the moon base.

Map to Paradise Island
The map to Paradise Island can be obtained in the very
top room of the boat near the steering wheel. The boat is at the
dock that is at the bottom of the stairs in the ground of Glasstown.
The map to Paradise Island is found at the top-most level of the
casino-boat. Once you pick it up, leave the room. Return later,
and it will be there again. It will always be there whenever you
go back to that room. It is recommended that you not pick it up;
there is no way to get rid of it after you have given one copy
to Gordie Puck (in the university). It will be once less space
in your pocket to carry something else.
Splicer Island plans
When in Urbania, go to the dumpster near the university
and large brownstone. Look at it and press A.
Getting to Splicer Island
First, you need to uncover the details of Splicer Island
by giving Monkey (the hobo in the park) some food. Next, you must
the Simquarter open by completing mission set 2. Talk to Sharona
Faster at the docks and she will tell you about a water taxi service
that she has. Do what she says and a boat will appear. Go on it
to get to Splicer Island.
Get chopper to Splicer Island
Get the chopper by completing the "Daddy Bigbucks
And The Xizzle Factory" mission. Take it out to the docks
where the boat to Splicer Island is located. Ride close enough
to the boat so that you see the yellow arrow hanging over the
boat. Press A, and you are free to roam around Splicer
Island on your chopper.
Finding the secret lab
Between 3:00 and 4:00 a.m., go to the executive office
(the third floor) of the King's Tower. Go to the farthest corner
from the bottom of the touch screen. There should be an arrow
that appears when you stand in front of it. Press A, and
it will open a secret passage. From there, just look around the
lab for the blueprints.

Curing Boo
- The cure for vampirism is the Chocolate Decadence recipe (2 Chocolate + 1 Flour). Feed this to Boo to cure him of being a vampire.

Have Clem automatically know you are human
To make Clem automatically know you are human, when he talks to you select "Garlic ice cream", "Lying on the beach", and "Pet dog".
Defeating Venus Flytrap plants

Crystal at Club Xizzle
If you fall asleep while Crystal is following you,
she will get up and leave.
Extra Xizzle Beads
- When you get a Xizzle Bead from any person when you get their relationship to 75%, do not talk to any person you got a Xizzle Bead from until their Relationship is below 40%. Then, make friends with them again and get the Relationship back up to 75%. They might give you another Xizzle Bead. This is useful in multi-player mode to get more Xizzles from a friend.
- Along the wooden fence with the bushes (the one away from the Dumpster by the Xizzle door), an arrow will appear. Select it and it will say that you have found Xizzle Beads.
- Go to the yellow bus. Walk between the fence and the bus. Face the bus' door. When an arrow appears, select it. It will say that you have found Xizzle Beads.
- Inside the hospital when you first walk in, there is a back sofa. Walk to the left of the sofa and you will see a plant. In front of the plant, an arrow will appear. Select it and it will say that you have found Xizzle Beads. Note: This will only work once.
Reality show
When doing the reality show on mission 5, get you motives up (Sleep, Food, Bathroom, Shower, Fun, Comfort) so that you can survive the eight hours. Pick up all questions before taking them to Pritchard.

Land Ho! Secret mission
To find helpers talk to the monkeys and get the relationship past 50. They like to play, rubdown and scratch. Then talk to Futo Maki.
Mission For The Mann: Saving time
When you do "Mission for the Mann", do not
go to the bulletin board. Simply search the shrubbery near the
museum.
Lowest bills
Once you have gotten your bills down 40%, you can get
them down even lower. If you get a roommate your bills will go
down by half.
Do not pay bills
When the screen with "BUSTED pay bills next time" appears, you will go to prison. You can go to the gate and pay bills. Do not do this. Instead, you will sleep for about a day and the gate will open. By doing this you will not have to pay your bills.
Easy money
- To earn some extra money go to the Chop Shop and sell some of your Hogg's parts.
- Buy an easel, then frame a painting and sell it to the thrift store. The paintings range from 25 to 300 Simoleons.
- Buy a large workbench and get full Mechanical skill by using Heidi Shadows. Collect Petrified Wood from the bayou, and make Woodcarvings from them. Sell them to the man on the street in Urbania. Some items can be sold for 3,600 Simoleons.
- Buy the large workbench and get your Mechanical skill up. Find wood and make Woodcarvings. When you think you made a good one, go to thrift store between 5:00 and 7:00 to sell them for at least 1,000 Simoleons. Then buy it back for 20 to 30 Simoleons and resell it. Do this repeatedly to earn a lot of money.
- Ask people for errands. They will give you money for each one you deliver. Do not ask your roommate for an errand. They will move out, and they willnot talk to you for a day.
- Put your shower in your pocket and sell it to someone. When your Hygiene level gets low, go to any sink and keep washing your hands until the level has increased. You can also sell your bed and sleep on the sofa, or sell your sofa and sleep in the bed. This will increase your Comfort.
- At the beginning of the game, make your rep group a Richie. Then get at least three Xizzle Beads and go to Club Xizzle. There is an Xizzle you can get that will give you 10,000 Simoleons.
- Buy an Easel at the store for 290 Simoleons. Get your creativity points all the way up and paint as many paintings as possible. Sell the paintings at the Second Looks Thrift Emporium. The paintings will range from 25 to 500 Simoleons.
- Go to an area where Heidi Shadows is found and buy a Rosebud Smoothie. If you drink it, you will get 2,300 Simoleons.
Regaining full life
One way to get full life is by passing out. You can pass out by not eating or getting eaten by a Venus Flytrap at the Bayou or Splicer Island. Alternately, if you are a Richie make best Buds with Luthor L. Bigbucks. There is more involved, but he will give you a machine. It must feed, talk to you, rests you, and does everything. Your life will be full.
Easy Popularity gain
Unlock the garbage can location from Pheobe Twiddle and put basic furnishings in it (bed, shower, fridge, etc.). Then, go into Club Xizzle next to it and talk to the people inside until you raise your Popularity. Make trips back to the garbage can to refill your needs.
Easy Rep points
Get any rival rep group member up to 100, then ask
him or her to move in with you. If they do, kick them out. You
will receive a rep point for that rep group's rival. Then, repeat
the process. For example, a Richie lives with a Streetie. Richie
kicks the Streetie out and receives a rep point for Richie. Streeties
hate Richies. Richies hate Streeties. Artsies hate Nerdies. Nerdies
hate Artsies.
Faster Sleep and Comfort
Get the Bamboo Double Bed from the girl on the island
near Paradise Island. You will notice that when you sleep in it,
your Sleep and Comfort will turn green faster than a normal bed.
Easy relationship with Ephram Earl
You need to get popularity high for three different
goals. You may have seen the "Easy Popularity Gain"
trick, and are talking to people in Club Xizzle. If you have been
talking to him, you have difficulty being friends with Ephram
Earl, the ghost. This is because Ephram Earl only likes being
talked to. Trying to cheer him up, entertaining him, telling him
jokes or bad puns, or even making rude gestures or insults, and
crying just makes him angry. This takes away 6 points of relationship.
You must talk to him. He loves to talk about anything. You will
gain 2 points, but it will go quickly. If you buy the Xizzle,
Jibba Jabba, it does not do anything to him.
Free items
Invite someone over (someone who is your friend or
of you Rep Group recommended). If they like your place a lot they
will give you a "housewarming gift". If they do not,
get their relationship to 90 to 100, leave the room (they will
be gone), go back, and invite them again.
