U can change the toddlers outfits....just gotta put em in front of the dresser like older sims. Also get a floor length mirror if you want to change their hair & click change appearance.

You don't have the ability to hire anyone. The sim has to join on their own or you can make that sim active and make it work at that place. -Answer by:TrainerKay
When the sims actions get up to "woohoo" there should be a "go steady" then "propose" then the two marrage options. If one or both have a relationship it will have to be terminated first.
As a last resort you can use "edit town", split her from her household, and merge her to yours. This will work only if you have space for her. -Answer by:shermda

You can go to edit town click on where the person is, split the household, the person will end up on your clipboard. Then you place him in your house, It will ask if you want to fully merge these two households say yes. Or you could get all romantic then when your talking to him ask to go steady, you will become boyfriend girlfriend. After that keep doing romantic things then propose marriage will come up click on it and he will move in automatically.
You have to use friendly options (not romantic) and after awhile it'll say Do you want to move in? or ask to move in or something... just click on it and you'll be able to controll him. hope that helped

Is she a vegetarian? because they tend to live longer -Answer by:sims is my life
Your sim may not of died yet because they don't all live the same amount of time. It depends on how fit they are (fitter sim live longer) and also if your sim is a vegetarian, apparently they live longer.

As a last resort you can use "edit town", split from household, and remerge them back. -Answer by:shermda
A2: 

My sim did this to, it just stood there and wouldn't do anything. The way I fixed this was by using the cheat box (Ctrl + Shift + c) you then type in resetsim (then the full name of the sim that is frozen) Your sim should then be as good as new and carry on whatever it was doing.
I hope it helps! (and works!)

I haven't played this game in a long time and I still can't. But I will in a few days and I'm gonna retake the tutorial. But I got a question: How do you buy a business? And can you make it specific please.
Question from: Coolboy24(893)

You have to get a lot of simoleons and then go to the building that yoi want to buy. Become a business patner then buy the whole business! -Answer by:Coolboy24

Click on a business building then click 'Become Partner ($xxx)'. Then after that an option should become available.. 'Buy Business ($xxxxx)' or something like that. Click on the option and you will be able to change the name etc.

Yes! Do not do it around any other partner unless all have jealousy block. It is easier if you get the relationship up and "tour" one of the rabbit holes (city hall, etc.) and "try for baby there. -Answer by:shermda

That has happened to me, and just today I tried it again (some weeks later) and it worked. I don't know what happened, but I am just telling you that it has happened to other people!

A1: 

Maybe the ghost is cheating on your sim or something and is only using you for company or something. Try using the 'testingcheatsenabled true' left-shift click the ghost and see if you can add him to your household and use him to ask for 'whoohoo' or 'try for baby'. Try it and if it doesn't work go with my first theory.

A1: 

Go to options (... button) and go to the gear tab and it will have an age option -- to make life longer/shorter and a check box to stop aging
A1: 

By the sounds of it, it's a classic case of the sims 1 bug. Have you ever uninstalled the game, because it may leave enough of the files to run the launcher then when you installed it again, the launcher duplicated and can't link to the game. Or check your computer for viruses that may have broke the game. It is also possible the game has uninstalled a part of itself and now it can't run
