unlocks various testing options, as described below.

and click your mailbox to access the options: "Make All Happy",
"Force Visitor", "Set Career", and "Set
Level". You can hold [Shift] and click on Sims to
access the options: "Add Sim To House", "Change
Sim Traits", and "Force Aging". Finally, you can

Hint: Aging: Instead of using a cheat code to toggle "aging
on" and "aging off" like in The Sims 2,
you can de-activate the age in "Options", then "Game
Options".
Hint: Clothes: To get new clothes, you must 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.)
Hint: Easy money: Start 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 about 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.
