How do I change my Toddlers clothes? He grew up without a shirt on! I need help.
Question from: CutieSoosi(2)
Your toddler needs to click on a dresser and he/she can plan their own outfits.
Be the toddler and click on the dresser like you would any other sim.
Get an adult Sim to teach it to walk then make the toddler walk to the dresser and click 'Plan Outfit'.
A1: 

I don't know why they do this, but to get them to get on with their duties, wait until they put the book down, then go into buy mode and move the book into a room they've already cleaned.
Maybe your pc memory is full thats the same problem with me.
If your computer is not really advanced it just loads the game slower, but you could try going to game options and lowering the video performance
It might depend on your computer. make sure it meets the system requiremet, hope it helps!
Set career [career/level] - Give selected Sim a career
Yes.Press ctrl +shift+c,than when the box appears type testingcheatsenabled true.After that hold the shift button and click the mailbox.It will appear set career.You can choose any level you want.
Yep. and you don't even need a cheat. You just need to get like 10,000 or 15,000 lifetime happiness and buy multitasker. Your Sim will be promoted quicker.

My Sim's career choice is Journalist. When you go to the Graveyard at night and see ghosts you can interview them and also become friends with them. After it turns daylight, it's like you never talked to the ghost. The interview and them being your friend has disappeared. My question is does anyone know if there is a cheat or are there certain skills that you need to be able to use their interview and keep their aquaintence?
Question from: Jennifers00(3)
A1: 

Okay. Hold ctrl+shift, and press c. That'll open the cheat box. Type in testingcheatsenabled true. after you do that you can drag relationships left(bad) or right(good). I did it, and now my toddler is best friends with the Grim Reaper.
A2: 

Take his grave.
A1: 

Purposedly enter a wrong code
A2: 

Type in help to get a lot of cheats.
A1: 

Yes, buy a birthday cake and click on it, it'll say blow out candles and then click on the person you want to grow up. you can do this anytime. :D
A2: 

Do testingcheatsEnabled true, and shift click the person and it will say 'Trigger Age Transition'.
You have a lot of choices, I make my sim a vegetarian evil person, lol.
When you create a sim at the end you pick the traits ! And you make their personaillty or however you spell it ! And their EVIL , GREAT KISSER , ect ! :) -jAdA ! -Answer by:toshoo123
There are 63 different traits you can choose without the expansion packs. Each expansion has more! There are also some hidden traits that you don't choose but come up randomly. -Answer by:kirara2tail
A1 have you made a hitler sim? and there are tons, it's a jump from the sims 2 where you can give them a more in-depth personality -Answer by:RandomSimmer
A1: 

Buy a birthday cake and have the sim you want to grow older blow out the candles, that way the aforementioned sim will reach the next stage of aging.
A2: 

Try looking in options
You might have something in the way on the other side of the bed and that person cant get in! -Answer by:Sims 3 lover
The other person or your person is not in the mood. Yes its to much like real life. Make sure they are not hungry, to tired, just lost a friend or things like that.
Also, when I press woohoo my sim will go to the bed and he will be (relaxing) for a coulpe of seconds. then they will get under the covers and woohoo.
Woofoo? anyway, you can try having both your sims relaxing on top of the bed then tell one to woohoo and it should work. It just skips the making out step off of the bed.
Make to sims relax in bed then click woohoo
No! Thats just perverted.
There is a censor crack that gets rid of the fuzzinezz so you can see everything. All they look like is a Barbie or Ken doll though
Set "never nude" trait and your sim will show the swimsuit in tubs and showers. -Answer by:shermda
Omg theres this thing on the internet that you can download to do that. except all yous can see is the butt. no details. look it up :)
A1: 

I took the shreded items out of my sims inventory then clicked on them to have him throw them away. I
No space
Enter the cheat ``testingcheatsenabled true``then go to your family member then press shift then it says trigger age transition or something like that and then your sim gets older.
Answer 2 is right, and the set age cheat is what some one did in their spare time to just pee every sims player off
So does that mean that "set age [x]" wont actually let you set their age...or do anything at all?
A1: 

You have to enter testingcheatsenabled true and then shift click on the mailbox.
A1: 

You go one options, then you can stop them from aging!
A1: 

You have to be Married or Best Friends wth them. -Answer by:underromir
A2: 

Or go into the cheat box(ctrl shift c) and type in testingcheatsenabled true, then shift click on the sim you want to move in, and click add to active household.
A1: 

You can't, you don't need to. you only need to buy a wardrobe from buy mode if one isn't already in the house. just use your sim and select plan outfit from the wardrobe to add clothing.
A2: 

Your sim has access to all the clothes by clicking on their dresser and clicking Plan Outfit. You can buy new clothes from the sim store if you want more options. -Answer by:kirara2tail
A1: 

No I don't think so
A2: 

If you type in "help" to the cheat bar, then you should get all the cheats listed and what they do. I dont think there's a cheat for that but there may be something similar. Hope this helped! D
A1: 

Maybe she has a dirty diaper & doesn't like the smell.
A1: 

Yes, from the computer,or labtop.There is an option -work from home.But your sim must have the workoholic trait.
A1: 

I still dont know. but it could have terrile graphics because the house where my friend's sim live had bad graphics then he moved and...well, bad graphics
A1: 

I'm sorry, no there isn't. When I first got the Sims 3 and when I was speeding up the speed on level four I was like " Um, it's the exact same speed as the third one... how is this different..?" But then I found out that when you click the fourth speed thingie it is the same speed as number three but when you're sim is finished doing the action it goes back to normal speed. Hope that helped! Xxx
A2: 

If you mean it didn't change, that might mean your num lock is off, which needs to be on. 4 isn't the same as 3, but yet only a little faster.
If you like to put money in the family fund,just press ctrl,hold the shift button,press c,and when the box apears type motherlode.
Those are just not real cheats!
Motherlode will work. FamilyFunds doesn't work. At least not for me.
Try typing "testingcheatsenabled true" first or update your game
Dear, you need to put no spaces!
A4:all that works ! look all you do is this cheat do the bar thingy ! and type this in ! familyfunds williams 50000 or however much its worth ! no [] and stuff like that ! just doo that code ! welcome ! -jada . let me know if you still having trouble ! -Answer by:toshoo123
I have no idea, it works really well for me, all my Sims are super rich now, haha
I am having the same problem as well as someone else! I cant really understand what you r telling me it is making no sense please can you help me because my family are dieing? thank you anyway even if you dont know the answer thankyou for reading! xx
Im having the same problem. I am wanting to maxmotives like in sims 2. the code sites say type "make happy" no luck at all, I then read on here to type "testingcheatsenabled true" it accepted the command, but the whole "shift + click mailbox" thing doesn't work. I am getting so irritated. good luck!
''Motherlode will work. FamilyFunds doesn't work. At least not for me.''
It does, did you try in Edit Town mode :P
It does, did you try in Edit Town mode :P
Testingcheatsenabled true and then hold down shift and click on the mailbox and it'll have an option to "make all happy"
Yeah that doesnt work for me. the mailbox refuses to acknowledge
Omg, it only took me a few hours of research to figure this one out. you have to type "enablecheatstesting true" in the neighborhood view. then hold hte shift key down as you click on the mailbox once back on your lot...there are a bunch of cheat options available from the mailbox. I'm so happy to get htat one figured out!
A1: 

Maybe try not to put it in capitals and don't put spaces between it
A1: 

There is a 50-50% chance. -Answer by:Coolboy24
A2: 

Its not likely.
I don't think so because if you ever heard about using shaazam it doesn't work.
There is a way and I use it all the time. First, you need to be on the main menu (Not in the active house yet). Hold Shift-Ctrl-C and a blue line will apear on top of the page. Write TestingCheatsEnabled True in the blue line. Then go to the active house. Hold Ctrl and click between the chest and the points. Each click will add +500 Reward points. Note: Do this while you are playing. It won't work if the game is paused.
A1: I haven't tried the cheat but I think you spelt it wrong according to other people? I've seen it spelt as 'shazaam' not 'shaazam' but I don't know as I've not tried it before.
A1: 

U can go to options and change it from super short to super long or turn aging off.
A1: 

I dont think so but you can give all your sims a longer life span under the options menu.
A1: 

No
A2: 

With the "Generations" expansion pack they can, click the shower and select either "Try for baby with..." or "WooHoo with...". There has to be "an appropriate sim" on the lot for this to work. Hope your sims will have fun! :)
A1: 

Go to "edit town", click on the babysitter's house, "split household", take an adult and the child to clipboard, merge with your house, then split the adult out. If there is only one adult in the BC"s house you will have to take an adult with you. You will be paid for you efforts too. -Answer by:shermda
A1: 

I would just try shutting down the game and reopening it
A2: 

Just move to a different house if you have sim that can move! It worked for me!
If you think they're so ugly then why do you play? I think they lok better than the sims2 frankly so whatever.
My sims look like people...some beautiful, some in between, and some not so great. The ones I create look the way I want them to. I just wish there was more hairstyles and clothes and stuff...some of the benefits the sims 1 and 2 had that made things easier.
Yup, I agree. They all look the same to me too.
If youre so negative and think theyre "soo ugly" then dont play anymore-Simple.
Yes im being harsh but I LOVE LOVE LOVE the sims and if you dont then play something else.
Yes im being harsh but I LOVE LOVE LOVE the sims and if you dont then play something else.
Yes the people are so weird and the ones I make seem like better looking.
Well if you dont think thier pretty go to thesims3.com and got to the exchange if you download some sims (for free) you get a whole custom stuff like I got randome wings and a lot of new outfits
hope it helps :)
hope it helps :)
There are attractive sims and some......less attractive sims. After awhile you can figure out what features YOU think are attractive. -Answer by:kirara2tail
I think the graphics are way better, but the attractiveness is based on how you create them to look like. They can become sometimes extremely beautiful if you get everything just right. I agree with some of the answers, like if you download sims you do get a bunch of cool stuff from them. If you just think they are all ugly then why post a question about it? -Answer by:katiebug792
They aren't beautiful. That's for sure.
A1: 

Ive had this problem too but it was because the hand didnt really have it gripped. Click on it with the hand and move it to practice and I'm sure you'll figure it out.
A1: 

Stairs will show up only when they can be built. There can be nothing in the way and somewhere to go. -Answer by:shermda
A1: 

Nope. Sorry.
A2: 

In the "Generations" expansion pack there's a lifetime award (really expensive, though) which makes this possible :)
I hope so! But I remember something from reading a article that it might be about jobs and shops. Maybe something like Sims 2 Open For Business.
Yep! one is already out.
Yeah there's one now called The Sims 3: World Adventures. In that game you get to travel all around the world. -Answer by:Coolboy24
The first one is World Adventures and the second one is Ambitions. I hope this helps!
A1: 

I think there is a cheat called "make sims happy" or something. -Answer by:Coolboy24
A1: 

Go to "edit town" and create and place as many sims as you want. You can also pick any sim you have ever made from that mode too. They must have enough simolians to buy a house (singles start with 1600). You can also merge those sims with a house that has the space. -Answer by:shermda
A1: 

Go to "Edit Town" and split house hold. Leave her on the clipboard or put her with someone else. -Answer by:shermda
A2: 

Shes either insane crazy or a stalker or maybe she has the trait inapropriot -Answer by:the tester
Yes! buy a miror if I spelled the correct and then have then go to it and then say change apperence -Answer by:simslov12
If you buy a mirror it might help some....
I don't think so.If the parents are ugly or are ugly mixed then you would probably have 'unattractive' kids.
A1: 

No, only teens I think. And older people.
A1: 

It's available on the Sims 3 website. You can download it from there.
A2: 

Yeah but you gotta b a member and I cant join what do I do now?
Maybe you should have thought about that earlier.They dont get preggers on there own so thats ALL your fault. SO PUT ON YOUR BIGBOY PANTS AND MAN UP.take care of your own mistakes.We shouldn't have to.Anybody with me?!?
We all make mistakes. Thank goodness its only a game. Go to "edit town" and place it in foster care. (Merge and adult into your house and split them out with the baby. If you do not want to see it grown up the leave it on the clipboard when returning to game. The adult and child will "move" to another city or to a house of your choosing. -Answer by:shermda
Lock it up in a room. Or, if you want him to grow up fast, keep getting a cake and having a birthday for him! -Answer by:Threeamigeo
A1: 

Maybe shes still in her old house? Or in the inventory of people who are not in the game yet? Or maybe shes just out somewhere in town right now.
No
Go downtown at night and try to find a vampire. its just like the sims2 but instead you have to go donwtown and find one first. thats how I says to do it out of the little packet in the disk holder I hope this helped. :)
With the "Late Night" expansionpack, yes.
A1: 

Play the game and have patience and keep gaining skills and you will figure it out.
A2: 

I got it by playing the tasks that pop up every now and then will ask you to do things like bring in certain foods to a restaurant and then if you do it you will eventually have one that asks you to bring in cheese then you can plant the cheese
A1: 

In TS2, you had to have Nightlife or Pets to become a werewolf or vampire. In TS3, there is no EP to make you those creatures, therefore we cannot create them...yet! Hope this helps! -Bek
A2: 

To become a vampire you need the "Late Night" expansion pack. There's going to be an expansion pack for TS3 called "Pets" (gonna be released some time in November) but I'm not sure if you can be a werewolf with it...
A1: 

You probably need to download the game update.
