Hint: Full need bars:
Save the game, then enable the move_objects on code and delete your Sim. All your needs will be restored to near perfection.
Brian Williams.

Note: If your Sim recently gained a skill point, do not do the above mentioned cheat. It will delete the skill points you just gained, but there is a loophole. After you have gained the desired amount of skill points, call a cab and go to Studio Town/Old Town/Downtown, etc. After you return to your home, you can safely do the cheat without losing any of your skill points.

When disposing a Sim to get a better mood, save the game first. This prevents loss of new skill points, relationships, etc.
Matthew Sime.

Hint: Gain famous friends:
When following the fame career path, talk about yourself repeatedly. When you are at 100 in daily liking the person you are trying to be friends with, say goodbye and wait until the next day. Then call them up, and talk. Do not invite them over. If you just talk to them for a bit (it does not matter if they yell at you or engage in conversation), they should automatically become your friend. You can then invite them over and engage in normal conversations and do things together that you can do with others, even though you are at a lower level than they are.
Brian Williams.

If you have The Sims Makin' Magic and Superstar, you can easily get more famous friends by talking to them then casting either the Smiley Face spell or any other one that improves friendships. You will get fined, but it is usually around 20 Simoleons only if the magic person catches you. Make sure that you have enough Mechanical and Logical points so that the spell does not backfire.
Julz.

This trick requires the The Sims Makin' Magic. Obtain the following ingredients: Honey, Toad Sweat, Garlic. Add the ingredients in the Spellmaker. Charge your wand and you will have the Smiley Face spell. Then, go outside and get the paper (not the newspaper). Select "Find An Agent". Certain stages of your fame career will require a number of famous friends for you to move on to the next stage. Go to Studio Town and meet some new friends. Most of them will be kind of famous. Next, go home and invite them over. Once they are over at your house, cast the Smiley Face spell and your Famous Friend meter will go up.

Hint: Easy star power levels:
Do not use modeling, recording or anything that requires choices unless you know the correct order. It takes longer, but just recording jingles and performing is far safer if you do not want to be demoted.
Rachel Titley.

Hint: Free food:
Whether you are in Studio Town or on Vacation, get to a buffet table. When someone else gets food from a buffet table, wait until they sit down then start talking to them. They will get up and leave the food on the table. Then, click on the plate and select "Eat". You have just saved 25 Simoleans.
Kate Nagel.

Hint: Easy money:
If you leave food out and do not have a maid, you may see cockroaches wandering around your floor. Enable the move_objects on code and click on the roaches. Sometimes, the message "Sell SRR Virtual Reality Set for…" with a price of 100 to 1000 Simoleans will appear.

Hint: Quick money:
Enable cheat mode and enter the rosebud code. Display the cheat prompt again and type !;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!:!;! (up to sixty total commands may be entered).

Enable cheat mode and enter rosebud;: as a code. Then hold [Enter] so that "No such cheat" begins to flash. Keep the key held to gain up to 99 million simolians. Note you can replace : with any invalid character in the cheat.

Enable cheat mode and enter rosebud ; ; as a code.

Hint: Exceed family member limit:
Use the following trick to add other members to your family, after you already have eight members. Enable the move_objects on code. If you have a family that consists of eight members and you want to add another, delete six of your family members. Those members are not gone forever. If you want another kid, keep the parents active and try to get a baby. If you want another pet, keep one adult active and buy a pet. You will not be able to control what this new member does.

Hint: Get family friends with star power:
Start with a normal job for two people in different houses. Get them both all the skill points you can then get them to be very good friends with each other. Get them into the Fame career track. They will keep going up the ladder and will only need each other's Star power for the first few levels. For example, if both have 2.5, then both need 2.5 to advance. They are friends though, and both have 2.5 Star friend power.

Hint: Removing obsessed fans from your lot:
Hire a Butler to come around to your Sim's home, then ask him to dismiss visitors.
Samuel01.

Hint: Remove censor:
Have your Sim take a shower, wait a few seconds, then quickly enable the move_objects on code. Go to the housing tool. Get the hand tool and move the shower somewhere else. You will see your Sim naked. Move your Sim somewhere else then click on something else to make them invisible.
RaffInc1.

First, drop the walls, then look through the Skydiving Chamber while a Sim is getting into the tub. They will appear naked.
Evillyn.

Hint: Second story:
Instead of placing a number of pillars to make a second story, just build a normal first floor with nothing in it, then build a second floor and delete the walls on the first floor.

Hint: Character bios:
Hold [Ctrl] and click a Sim's face in live mode. This allows you to change their bio.
Matthew Sime.

Hint: Controlling limit exceeding family members:
To control an extra family member that exceeds the limit, press [Space] to switch characters. Keep pressing it until no family member in the list is selected. You cannot see their face, but can now control their actions.
Matthew Sime.

Hint: Keeping a baby quiet:
Click on the baby and select "Feed", "Feed", "Play", "Play", "Sing", "Sing". Note: It always has to end with "Sing".
E.

When your baby cries click it select "Feed", "Play", "Sing", "Play". If you have The Sims Makin' Magic, you can buy the Skeleton Maid, then go to "Miscellaneous", then buy the gray coffin that stands up (named "Bag O Bones" Skeleton Closet). Keep the coffin close to the baby. When the baby cries just knock on the coffin.

Glitch: Swim in air:
Buy the Aquatic Play-House and have a Sim get in it. Enable the move_objects on code and move the item. Your Sim will be swimming in scuba gear in the air.
Josh.

Glitch: Swim in a puddle:
If you have a puddle on your lot, make one of your Sims start swimming in the swimming pool. Then, enable the move_objects on code. Pick up your Sim and put them in the puddle. It will appear as if your Sim is swimming in a puddle.

Glitch: Stool labeled as Doll House:
Have a child in your family. Get them to use the sink and they will get on top of a stool. Pause game play and enable the move_objects on code. Pick up the stool, and it will read "Doll House".

Glitch: Basketball hoop indoors-:
Make the room that you want to put the basketball hoop in, but leave one small corner of the walls unattached. The game will still think the room is outdoors, as you have not completely surrounded the land with walls. Place the hoop where you want it to be in the room, then finish the wall. Put the door in and you now have an indoor basketball court. Add hardwood flooring and play ball.
