The Sims 3
I'm pretty sure it means that the action clashes with one of their traits. They can still do it, it's just characteristic of their personality. Like when you have a loner sim, there are verbotens over introduction because a loner sim wouldn't want to introduce themselves.
It means to not do it
It is just an action that is "anti" the traits that that sim has..
EG: A sporty sim will have a red circle around "napping" because it is considered to be lazy.. (therefore clashing with the sporty trait)

Use the code 'testingcheatsenabled true' once it is activated, click and drag the motive bars to fill them. This also works for the relationship bars. To my knowledge, there are no codes to lock the motives/needs in place, so you'll have to just continue clicking and dragging.
Testingcheatsenables true
After typing in testingcheatsenabled on you can click on each motive bar and drag it to either max the motive or reduce it. also, you can change your sims traits if you want by holding shift and clicking on your sim.
After you type testingcheatsenabled true, shift click on the mailbox and click "Make Motives/Needs Static". Cant remember which one it is, but its a pie menu option, so no matter! :D
You can later click it again, and choose "Make Motives/Needs Dynamic" if you want it back to normal.

Make motive [static/dynamic]
If you fulfill you pregnant mother's wishes and wants, then you probably will be able to pick your kid's trait. And yes, sometimes they are based off his/her parents
Traits are based on parents but after baby stage if you raise them well you can pick certain things.
If your pregnant sim has a full green bar it will allow you to pick one trait while the other is a positive trait which may or may not be from the parents. (my one baby sim got a good trait while neither parent had it)
Get your pregnant sim and hunsband sim to read baby books... I did this and I could choose both traits for the baby sims.
Child sims usually have two traits: "easily amused" and "friendly"
With the "testingcheatsenabled true" cheat you can modify household sims traits by picking that sim from the side list and 'right'clicking on the sim. -Answer by:shermda
Q: 

Rating: 83%
My Sim is in the law enforcement career track and I need to question people. Every time I try they tell me I'm boring and I get nothing. Any ideas on how to actually question someone and get some answers?
Question from: superpilot04(8)
Yes. be friends with them. Also having the charismatic trait helps. So try to chat and joke with the sim before questioning.
You need to have a high level of friendship with them before you can question them
I got the same thing! I found it much easier to start clicking on neighbour's garbage cans and "rummaging" (not every can will have this option, but if you click on a can you are reasonably likely to get the "rummage" option.) It's messy and you have to shower afterwards (AND look for trash piles in your inventory! I had the "smelly disgusting" frowny face for days before I figured that out.) Anyway, after a little rummaging, your Law Enforcement Sim will have enough dirt (literally and figuratively) on a neighbour to write a good report.
I also noticed that the reports will be better if you wait until your Sim is in a good mood to write it.
Hope this helps!

When creating your sim make them have triats that make them sociable. My sim has a good sense of humor and is also friendly. I am not 100%, but check in the lifetime to see if there is something there to enhance the traits.
Same I made a sim and after playing all day (and Skill cheats) I got to international super spy, and it said to go raid a warehouse, and I dont know what to do.And I dont know how to question either(i had to use cheats to skip some hard jobs)
I had this problem at first with my journalist who needed to do interviews, and I bought him the Never Dull lifetime reward, now he gets all the interviews he tries for. And to the person who has to raid a warehouse, I'd guess that would be the Criminal Career place, Upstanding Citizens Corp or whatever it's called.
I had the same problem to begin with until I did the same as answer 3. Rummaging through the garbage is alot more profitable.. But beware, when my sim had got the required dirt, often if I did an action between finding the 'dirt' and actually writing the report on the computer the option had dissapeared... So try and make sure you do as less as possible between finding and actually doing it. I'm not sure but I think it may have been because he was promoted? or maybe just the fact that he went to work inbetween... but either way, be careful and write them as soon as you can. P.S - Having a higher writing skill point means your reports come out better as well as having a higher mood.
Try other interactions first instead of jumping into questions. Try 'Tell Funny Story' or something first.
Yes. I made 2 sims as young adults and they have a teenage daughter, a kid, and a toddler, and they are expecting again
Yes you can get married and pregnant as a young adult.
Yes. I created my Sim family as young adults, and they have a child.
Yes. I made my family, parents were young adults and they had a daughter - teen, another daughter - child. when the teen grew up her parents and she were both young adults
!
!
Yeah once I had a boy named Zackery,triplets named Alaina,Alyssa&Adreanne and twins Erika&Hazel
Mine didnt work either. If you go to options, then game play, you can turn aging off. :)
I think you have to put "set age young adult". an actual age wouldnt work... I dont think...
And I think it's how many days have passes since the Sim was born.. Just a thought. ^^" -Answer by:Sayuu
The old cheat from Sims2 does not work here.
Instead it is possible to go to 'options' and then you can choose on a slider how long it will take a sim to age... There is a short period and an 'epic' period. There is also an option to 'turn aging off' - This is able to change at any time during your play so if you want to make sure your Sim has a high level career before becoming a pensioner (which often happened in Sims 2) it is possible to slowly level up... and then change back to real-life aging.
Hope this helped , have fun!

It makes thier birday happen
You gave to write "Baby", "toddler" "child" "teen" "young adult" "adlut" or "elder"
Ye but I dont think the "set age" thing works all together the option thing works though (well on my puter)
It is simple enter the testingcheattrue by using the thing to go to cheats and after activated click on the sim and click select age
Try looking in the readme file for your game..... it has cheats there & I think that it will work for you. ]
I believe each birthday goes up a number, starting at one. So if you want a toddler it is one, a child two, teenager three and so on. I am not entirely sure though.
Yeah you can do aging off in the menu b4 you start gameplay.... I think the set age cheat will work if you say " set age young adult(ect.) "
My computer wont let me mark anything on aging in the options category what do I do?
I tried going into option, then game options. It won't let me click on the aging button at all.
You have to do it when you're playing the game. Go into a household, and then click options>gameplay. If you click it then, it will work for all households.
That happened to me to. Try doing it while your game is playing. It didn't work for me because I was trying to do it on the first menu screen but this should fix that.
Well I have stoppeed my sims from aging. all you do is go to options the click on the aging and change it to what you want
Buy the 'fertility treatment' opportunity rewards option for 15,000
But than I can also have trios.. I want a 100% shot for twins, and girls if possible.. ^^" -Answer by:Sayuu
Eat 2 watermelons. Bam! Twin Girls. Works every time.
Well, if you want to girls, then eat two watermelons, but if you want two boys, eat to apples and then you will have two babies. if you want a boy and a girl, eat one watermelon, and one apple
To increase the chances of getting multiple babies, listen to the kids channle on the radio and watch the kids channle on TV. Doing both at the same time will really increase your chances. Or you could buy the Fertility Treatment reward. Reading both pregnancy books also increases the chances. Eat 3 watermelon for a girl, and 3 apples for a boy.
Maybe you can call the babysitter again
There is a new download from the Sims 3 offical website that will fix that problem. You wont get your baby back but it will never happen again! -Answer by:Sims 3 lover
She probably took the baby back to its home.
You can type Ctrl+Shift+C then type "resetsim" then the babys name it should return the baby to its rightful home.
Just hit the menu button and click on main menu and don't save it and just start over from the last time you played
If the babys picture is there ...double click on the baby .. it will most likely show you where the baby is .. prolly in the baby sitters home , all you have to do is highlight your mom or dad sim and click on the baby and select hold or pick up or what ever options it gives u, something simular happend to me ,
my sims took the baby when he went fishing , I was afraid something would happen to the baby so I had the mom go get it from the lake , it was just sitting there on the ground while the dad was fishing lol
my sims took the baby when he went fishing , I was afraid something would happen to the baby so I had the mom go get it from the lake , it was just sitting there on the ground while the dad was fishing lol
You can always try to friends with the sitter by calling the sitter and then go on the map and look up to see where the sitter is and probably the baby will be where the sitter is.
Do testingcheatsenabled true in the cheats and got to the babysitters house where the baby should be and hld shift and click the baby then click add to active family
That happened to me also, is the baby still in your family relations? if it is then go to the edit town, split household and take the baby to a different household, then put on the testingcheatsenabled cheat and steal it back by going to the house you put it in and holding shift and clicking on it also you have to have an adult/young adult with the baby, so swap it in with another family and put your's back together:)
It is beacuse you didn't care of your baby proply so she take it with her!
Either there is a glitch in your game, or your sim really wants a baby or something.
Try typing ctrl-c for the cheat window, then type "reset sim (first name) (last name)".
I had something similar happen, jus thave her read a book and set it down, should fix it
She probably has the "Family-oriented" trait and wants a baby really bad. You can adopt or "Try for Baby" with any Sim she has a mutual romantic interest with.
I had that its really annoying and when I tried to restart it it didnt work so I just started a new family
Had this happen to me except my sim kept sitting down and "doing" homework every few seconds even as a young adult... Ctrl + shift + c then "resetsim (first name) (last name)" worked for me
Type ctrl+shift+c and write moveobjects than drag your sim into the family inventory and it will show up standing normal near an object.
I dont understand reset sim(first)and (last ) name I tried but I doesnt work
Baby's are swaddled in little pink or blue blanket things,(colour depends on gender) but toddlers have clothes.
Well since you havn't bought the game yet it is hard to say. You can not have cloths with baby's but yes to toddlers. -Answer by:Threeamigeo
When they are first born and leaving the hospital they are in a pink or blue blanket, depending on their gender. But, once their grown they do wear clothes. :)
Babies can't wear clothes but if you go to create a style you can change the color of the blanket.
Well if you go to setting there will be a thing where it says fade when zoomed in it shouldent be tht way thts y your having tht problume cause the hair fades when yuo zoom in
When they are toddlers they can have clothes, just click on your dresser and select plan outfit, or you can go to the mirror and choose change look
The cheats that are activated by typing 'testingcheatsenabled true' are not themselves used by typing in text. You have to SHIFT and simultaneously left click your SIM, and you will get an option to 'modify traits'. Other things to try SHIFT/click on are their mailbox, their workplace, the ground, and non-household SIMS.
Its not working
My cheats do not work neither. actually only some of them like motherlode, I have the book guide with all these cheats but they never worked! -Answer by:taynara
Make sure you spell everything correctly, and capitalize in the right places. to get the cheats to work.
Okay, say you want to use modify traits... Just type in the 'testingcheatsneabled true' and then while pressing the shift-key, left-click the sim/maILbox, a pie menu will appear and there should be 'modify traits' there, so you don't have to type 'modify traits'
Same problem, but I think I know the answer. I belive you have to have a MAC PC to get them to work. I have a windows vista, I am not sure, but if you can tell me if you don't have a Mac and its working, I am wrong. -Answer by:Threeamigeo
Ok type in the cheat "testingcheatsenabled true" then click on the sim that you want to modify their traits. it should work. good luck!
You actually have to put testingCheatsenabled because I had the same problem but now it works
These cheats are not like normal cheats. They cannot simply be typed into the CTRL+ SHIFT+ C menu. What you must do is type "testingcheatsenabled" or "testingcheatsenabled true" one of the two will work. After doing this, SHIFT+ left click on a Sim or their mailbox. You will then be able to pick the cheats from a pie menu. You may notice that in the Sims 3 Strategy Guide these cheats are located under "Mailbox." This is because they are enabled by SHIFT+ left-clicking the mailbox. Make more sense now? ^.^
This is correct, it appears the list on the previous page is from the Sims 2 [I could be wrong on that part, but it does look that way], most of the commands listed there don't work in the Sims 3 - we still need to find the correct syntax (if it exists) - for example, I'm still looking for the command to lower a Sims age as there is no set or setage command and yes testingcheatsenabled is set to true and they still don't work
You do Ctrl-Shift-C. Then you type in testingCheatsenabled true. Then you hold down the shift key and click your sim. Then you will have the option to modify your sim's traits. I have done this before and it has worked. Hope this helps.
You don't type modify traits in the cheat box, you type "testingcheatsenabled true" just like that. then shift click on the sim whose traits you want to change and click modify triats.

No there isn't but if you have one family living and the next family keeps living you should make them friends so you can monitor what they are doing.
Actually there is, I was reading something in an artical that Ben Bell wrote and it said there is a button in the neighbourhood where you can freeze the ever-living neighbourhood so you can play with one family without worrying about the rest! :)
While you can't really freeze the neighborhood, you can't toggle story mode off. This will keep the other sims in your neighborhood doing things like moving, getting married, or having kids. They'll still go to work, wander the town, and make friends.
You can find this setting in the options menu.
You can find this setting in the options menu.
Yes there is...under the options menu.
Yep. I have the game (hehe) and in the options menus you can tick that option
Yes there is. just check your options when you get your game
The option is "Enable Story Progression." If its checked, it means your sims will live on without you. If its UNchecked, they'll wait.
There is sunrise and sunset on sims 3
romantic, eh?!
romantic, eh?!
No but there will be a sort of shadow for when it is night like in sims2
The best thing about this game is how you can have sunrise and sunset witch is a really romantic set
There is sunrise and sunset, but the only way to really tell is when the morning glow comes in through the window. It lights up the east side of your house beautifully. :)
There is a sunrise and sunset.very romantek -Answer by:cheatdude102
Mhm! Go to the beach, it's realllly pretty at sunset haha ^^
Yes, as cooking level goes up and you read more about cooking your menu of items to cook and eat expands. -Answer by:Asunthor
Also, you can go to the Bookstore and buy new recipes for your Sim to read and learn to make. Recipes use ingredients that you can buy at the grocery store, grow in the garden, or fish for. You can also buy ingredients direct from the fridge at an inflated cost.
You can go to the grocery store, and buy food. You can also go to the book store, and buy recipe books. Once you learn a new recipe, you will be able to cook it if you have the right ingredients.
Yes there is going to be money cheat for the game.

Go to the options menu in Sims 3 and select aging off.
In TS3 you can get married to a spouse of your choice of either sex. -Answer by:Asunthor
Of course you can. lol
Of course you can, might take a while but its is possible.And your sims, if they do "it" can have one,twins, or even three babies at the same time.
Yes you just have to have him/her as a girlfriend/boyfriend and do more things such as kissing and stuff and eventually it will come up in romantic.
It takes a lots of "Romantic..." interactions to get "Go Steady" then "Propose" to become an option, I think when they get past thinking the person is being "flirty" or "very alluring" on to "irresistible". Once your Sims are engaged they can have a Private Wedding or throw a Wedding Party to get married.
I find that to be a real struggle for me too. I don't believe that you can... but you might want to try "motherlode" when you haven't moved your family in, and see if anything happens to your money. Hope this helps.
It is possible, if you already have a home. For example: Buy a cheap house, including furniture. Use the cheat as much as you want, en buy a other house.
Yeah you can, buy a house and enter the cheat and then once you have as much money as you need buy a phone and go to the phone and it'll give you the option to move, so click move and then follow the instructions.
Use the family funds cheat from sims 2, get as much money as you want
There is a cheat that is freerealestate it lets you move into any lot for free
Yes, in the neighborhood screen before you move in use the family funds cheat
What I do is buy a lot with no house or nothing on it, because it's cheap. Then type Shift + Ctrl + C and type Motherlode a lot and get all the money I want.. then I click on my cell phone and click move. then I move me to a house thats for sale because i'll have the money I need now.
You have a cell why would you buy a phone?
If you use the cheat freeRealEstate any house is affordable. Once loaded, you can use the motherlode cheat to get enough cash to furnish it.
I've tried the family funds many times, and it does not work for me. i've also tried the motherlode cheat in "edit town" and it doesn't work. I like to make new families, without making them my new active household, and there are very little houses that new families can afford. I hope the "freerealestate" cheat will work.
The sports stadium
I am a rockstar, and I like to have concerts at the sports dome. (so yes, you can have concerts at other places) I think that the sports dome and the theater are the only two places though.
You can play your guitar in the park and beach too I believe
I love that you said that "I am a rockstar".
I had the same issue too! You don't have to buy clothes like you did in the Sims 2. All you have to do is click on the dresser and choose Plan Outfit. It takes you to the create a Sim page and you can change your outfit. (Same goes with hair and makeup..click a mirror and choose Edit Appearance.)
Click the dressers and then click on "Plan clothes" you will be transfered to CAS
OK calm down the folding clothes at the spa probably means the robes the customers wear or the towels, to get new clothes simply buy a dresser click on it and press plan outfit then you can get new clothes. its like getting a new hair style on sims 2
You get clothes in the game for free, why would you want to go out shopping for them? You can have up to three outfits for each thing (3 everyday outfits, 3 formal outfits, 3swimwear ect.) Just go to a wardrobe/dresser and click plan outfit.
The guide said you could have 3 outfits for each clothing category. Then it says you must own a dresser so I think you just click on the dresser or when you create the sim select your three outfits.
You don't buy clothing anymore. It is all free and in your dresser. When you click on the dresser, two options should come up: Change Outfit and Plan Outfit. If you click Plan Outfit, you will go back into CAS and can choose any outfit you want.
If you click on the dresser it will say plan outfit, it will load on to create a sim and it will have all the clothes there.
You go to the dresser and hit plan outfit. Also every time you buy a new dresser you get three more outfits in every catogory!
First, buy a dresser from Buy mode. Next, click on it and click Plan Outfit. Lastly, let it load and... wappa! You're there!

Just buy a piece of cheese or an egg and plant them
HOLY CRAP! You can plant eggs?!
You get the skill to plant them from completing the planting opportunities. Once you complete that you cant just buy the cheese and meat and plant them
Buy egg then plant
To plant these there are different gardening oppurtunites that must be completed.
You can always buy the egg and cheeses from the store and plant them because my sim (Mitch) had a chance to learn how to plant eggs and cheeses help by the local resturant around the garden skill of 6, 7, 8.

My Sims wants to go Jogging but I don't know how. Every time I select some where it just jog to that spot. Does any one know how to get them to go jogging/?
Question from: Hollywould(5)
That is how you jog. I normally have my sim jog to a spot far away
In Sims2 you clicked the sim and click Go Jogging it only worked between certain times if I remember correctly, not sure if it applies here though but my guess would be it does as they haven't tampered with the normal sim control. -Answer by:Asunthor
Jogging in Sims 3 is different from Sims 2.
To go jogging you must click on any spot you want and then choose "jog here"
To go jogging you must click on any spot you want and then choose "jog here"
You have to gain an athletic skill point before you can jog
Go to someones house go to bulid mode click on the ground and say jog here
If youclick on several places and select Jog here each time, you can set a jogging route around the town, or from one place to another.
I usually have my sim run from one end of town to the other
Build up your athletic skill until you can select jog.
In Options, in the Game options tab, you want to check "Edge Scrolling".
If you use the right key on your mouse and then hold it down then you can move around without the buttons on the screen
Use "up down left right" or "a s d w"
Yea this was confusing for me too, You have to hold down the the right click button on the mouse while you move it .
Use the arrow keys on the keyboard
Use the arrow keys on the keybored thats the best way to do it!
If they are less than the maximum body weight, they can. If they eat when their hunger bar is already full, they'll be stuffed (you'll see the moodlet that looks like a turkey, lasts 3 hours). If they continue to eat while the stuffed moodlet is active, they'll gradually gain weight. Sims will rarely overeat on their own.
If a Sim's weight is more than the minimum, they can lose weight by doing physical activities, like working out on a treadmill, lifting weights, jogging, swimming etc. If your Sim is especially active they'll tend to do this on their own (especially if they have the Athletic trait.)
You'll never lose muscle below what your character started at, but they can build muscle by doing strength type exercises (especially lifting weights, to a lesser degree swimming. Jogging and the treadmill can cause you to lose weight but won't build up much muscle.) Just as with weight loss, your Sims will likely take the initiative towards muscle gain if they're Athletic.
Note that your Sim may lose muscle they gained through working out if they don't keep up with their exercising. They'll never lose muscle below what they started at though.

Over time you get fatter
Yes, because my person ate almost all the time. Even when she wasnt hungry. And she became bigger. Also, a little box popped up and said that was the reason why. Hope this helps.
If you eat longer than when your sim is hungery you get a moodlet saying your sim ate too much. It is neither positive nor negative, but warns you about weight gain.
You have to catch a death fish in the graveyard and plant a life seed. then do something with that and eat ambrosia
Are you serious? I've never heared of this fish & seed, only "Flower of Death" or something.. What's the bait for that fish, and where do you get a Life Seed? What do you mean by "Do something"? What does the Ambrosia has anything to do with that? And can you also revive sims who died of old age? -Answer by:Sayuu
You need to take the ashes (urn) to the science lab, I think
Sadly, death is final, but if you are a level 10 cooking skill you can feed ambrosia to a ghost and it may resurect. I haven't tried it yet. The unlucky sims may die a few times. The grim reaper finds it funny and resurects him/her.
You will be offered an opportunity from the science lab, at which point you will have to bring your loved ones ashes to the science lab, when I did this it only partially worked so my loved one remained in ghost form but I could now control her, giving me a ghost for a fiance who lives in the same house as myself and my new wife....
I was told to put the grave stone in your inventory and bring it to the science lab and there will be an option to have them bring them back to life, but I haven't gotten that option yet... -Answer by:loiamve
Protection From Death
Go to Pleasant Rest Graveyard, and near the gate, there is a strange bush called a "Death Flower Bush" - Harvest the flower from it.
If you keep this flower in your sim's inventory, when you die the grim reaper will trade it for a second chance at life.
This flower will not reappear, but there are Unknown Special Seeds (requires level 7 Gardening to plant) dotted about near the graveyard (and a few other places) which may grow another Death Flower (and sometimes more if your Sim has the Green Thumb trait to revive the plant.)

You bring the ashes to the graveyard and you will get a phone call from the science lab to do an experiment. ) hope that helps,
There are a few ways to avoid death...
#Eat Ambrosia.
#Plant 'Unknown Seed' which develops into a flower. Put flower into inventory and you can hand to Grim and he revives you.
Once you are dead, and if you have completed the opportunity you can take the urn of a dead family member to the science lab and they will revive you, for a cost.

If your sim has the cooking skill to level 10, you can buy the book "Ambrosia" in the bookstore. Once your sim learns how to make it, catch a deathfish which is only found at the graveyard at night (its bait is Angelfish and you must have a skill of level 10 to get deathfish) then plant a life seed (again, level 10 gardening skill) and mix those together and you get Ambrosia. Feed Ambrosia to a ghost and they MIGHT resurrect.
Another way would be for you to get the sims' ashes and you MIGHT get an opportunity at the space center to bring it back to life. Complete the opportunity, and your sim will come back to life but as a ghost. You can do anything with the ghost sim as any other sim. You can even Try for Baby. You could get a ghost baby and even start a ghost family this way.

You must harvest a death flower at the right of the gate and always keep it in your inventory,when you die,give it to the grim reaper and he will give you another chance to live
You can live with a ghost sim if you wish. Say you married the sim then it died you can still have a child with this sim but you have to be female.
Make your females trait kelptomatic. Go to grave yard and swipe your husbands remains.On the second day since stealing the remains put them in or around your home.Then the ghost will appear every other day at 11:00pm to 4:00am soicialize with the ghost every other day untill your best freinds.After you become best freind the ghost will start appearing every day. Then you need to get the fertility award from the lifetime happiness awards. After that confess your attration to the ghost. Ask the ghost to snuggle on bed then kiss the ghost on the bed. Then try for a baby every night untill you start throwing up. Now you are going to have a ghost baby that you can control.

Well, I dont know about bringing them back to life, but if you pick a flower from the plant near the entrance to the graveyard and keep it in your inventory, you can be saved from death.
A1: 

Certain places you just can't see inside, especially workplaces. If your sim is at work, they apparently actually get a bathroom break at some point (glad they finally fixed this! Used to be your sim would be in a pad mood all day at work if they left there needing to pee... now they apprently get a chance to take care of this at work) so don't worry about it. Otherwise, take care of it before you leave! A lot of parks have a bathroom somewhere if you don't want to have to go home to use the bathroom... if a park is closer than your home, you can go there.
Not sure what happens but mine does that from time to time. Mine usually comes back after I shut Sims down and restart. I always thought it was just me. Try that and see if it works for you.
She could have died. my sim died while I wasn't playing apparently because he now comes back as a ghost and still shows up under my other sim's relationships.
The reason you can't do this is that you can only have one active family at a time. If you choose a new family (in "edit town"), you will get a message saying that if you choose to change the active family, the last family that you played with will lose all of their skills, but will continue to age normally. If you decide to go back to them, you will have to start basically from scratch.
It also happening to me... I don't know where he goes. but he is not in the house anymore. I cannot locate him at all... also young adult.....
They could have died, moved out or in one case a baby vanished on mine, I just switched households and back again.
Im always switching from family to family but the skills remain the same... Its the 'wants' and 'moodlets' that disappear. I do find it hard finding families though, maybe they've taken it upon themselves to get married and move into another household? Ive never had a family member disappear but ive had them have random fatherless children? Weird! They also continue normal life with things such as promotions, and I did read they could make their own relationships (The Sims 3 website)
If you were playing with another sim family, and that sim had died while playing with that family, the sim would be dead when you went to that family
You have to go to options and uncheck the story progression. That will allow you to switch from family to family and it wont change anything. If you want to get her back just invite her over and talk to her until the option of moving in appears.
Well if you want that sim back you can invite that sim to your house and ask to move in
When you change the active household, the others keep playing by themselves. The sim could have moved out on its own, or died. To change this, you can go to Options and turn of the story progression. That way your houses will only play will you are playing with them
It never happend to me but did you try to click on the "disappeard" sim and see where she/he is ? Or use the tracker option
Well it happens to me too... but I always find out where they are.i mostly just double click on them and it would take me to them.
Eating apples increases the chance of having a boy. Watermelons are for girls.
The gender of the baby is totally random. If you want a specific gender, I'd suggest saving while your sim is pregnant, and if she gives birth to the gender you don't want, just go back to the previous save and try again.
Eat 3 apples for a boy or eat 3 watermelons for girls. If you want twins have the expecting sim watch the kids channel or listen to kids music, or both, it works. My sim got got triplets. :)
You eat apples to have boys and watermelons to have girls. If you and your partner have the fertiality award and eat more than one apple or watermelon you might end up with twins or triplets. Also If you adopt you can pick the gender.
Yes I have heard that you can eat apples if you want to have boys. if you want to have girls, eat watermelons. :) and watching the kids channel increases your chances of having twins.
Not biologically no, but you can adopt. Use a telephone and call up adoption services if you want to do that.
No
Try for a baby instead of woohoo, adopt or use the babyboom cheat that automaticaly adds a baby and a toddler to your household.
Call the phone>services>adopt a baby
Babyboom doesn't work I've tryed it!
Not with Whoo Hoo, you have to try for baby, it takes a long time to come up but it will. -Answer by:Threeamigeo
You can try for a baby, but its exactly the same as Woohooo.The best way is to adopt.But I think it's best if you are black,because if you adopt all the children will be brownish. -Answer by:Coolboy24
No, You have to try for a baby.
To do this, have your sims (Boy&girl) relax on the bed, then it should say try for A Baby.

You have to break up with your current girlfriend/boyfriend before you can get a new one. The game only lets you have one at a time.
Ctrl + shift +c enter "testingcheatsenabled on" shift + click on your sim, select "modify sim's traits" and change their traits to either good kisser, hopeless romantic, or flirty and it'll make other sims fall for your sim faster. i'm up to five partners for my sim. it takes longer since you already have a partner, but keep flirting and selecting 'confess attraction' until it gives you the option to date.
The heatrbreaker lifetime achievement? Your sim has to continuously have new relationshhips, then break-up. I don't think you can have more than one at a time, but you can have romance with as many as you'd like.
The idea is to break up with the first girlfriend before getting a second one.
They probably mean have one, break up with them, then have another one and so on.
Just like in real life, you've got to have game and woo the ladies. It's a time issue, just give it time.
I think the easiest lifetime achievement is the 'swimming in cash.' as soon as the game begins, hold CTRL+SHIFT+C for the cheat box then type in motherlode. Tadaa, fifty thousand simoleons and your lifetime wish completed! :)
It helps to have the trait of "flirty". I have had a married sims have many relationships that had this trait. She flirts her way into WooHoo. You will see the heart next to the person they are trying to have the relationship with, once this happens WooHoo, it's done! Move onto the next. You have your self a heartbreaker -Answer by:MaQuaLa
It could be a glitch, I haven't heard of this happening to anyone else, though.
It sounds like a glitch, it may be your video card isn't quite up to snuff with the game. Check out the game requirements and make sure your computer is compatible. If it is then it's probably just the game.
My friend have the same problem and he discovered that was a glitch
Try changing their appearance in a mirror then put a different hair style on if that doesn't work it is a glitch
I had the same thing happen to me! It could be your video card, that was the problem I had. I went out and bought a better one and it stopped it.
Same thing happened to me. Its your video software. You probably just need to update it.
It seems like a glitch... Maybe you should try adjusting the graphic quality to a lower level...
If it still doesn't work, then I guess either your computer isn't capable of playing the game properly or there is a glitch in the game.
But just be lucky you can at least play. If not being able to see hair when you zoom in close is all that's effecting the gameplay, count yourself lucky, because my laptop wasn't capable of playing this game at all, so I have to go on the family computer and that's dead annoying cos there's always someone else on it... sigh... -Answer by:xoSweetGirlxo

It happens to me too. it's really annoying because I like to make sims movies.
for me lowering the quality didnt help at all

I have a list of the Sims2 Cheat codes but after I turn on testingcheatsenabled true and type in a cheat such as shazaam it says unknown command--shazaam, and same with snapOpjectsToAngle, is get unknown command.. snap. the kaching and motherlode codes however work find but most of them give me the "unknown command" message. what am I doing wrong?
Question from: schirmer12(8)
Not all of the codes work from Sims 2 to use in SIms 3. I had the same problem.
Use 'testingcheatsenabled on" instead.
It's Sims 3?! Use sims 3 cheat codes ¬_¬
Shzzam doesn't work but if you use (testingcheatsenabled on) in the menu then go to your family and click on a spot a little bit below the chest and you will get 500+ whatever you call it
ResetSim [first name] [last name] - Return Sims to safe and neutral state at home
I had the same problem after teaching a toddler to talk and this worked fine. Just ctrl shift c to get the cheat box and put in that code:)
I had the same problem after teaching a toddler to talk and this worked fine. Just ctrl shift c to get the cheat box and put in that code:)
What I did is just stopped teaching my toddlers how to talk when they become children they still know how to talk like a regular kid
The reset sim (firstname) (lastname) works but no matter what you do do not try to save. It will freeze your computer and you will lose all progress for that family.
This happens alot to me when I tried teaching the toddlers how to talk and what I do is just click one of the other people that arent frozen (if there is anyone else) and have them move the whole family out to a new house and it will unfreeze and the sims will be active again.
ResetSim did NOT work for me, I had this exact problem and I was afraid all my hard work was gonna be deleted, cause I didnt save from time to time,
so what I did, was go to edit town, click split up house hold, move the toddler and the mom out, then if you click on them, it should say place, so place them BACK into your house, and it will all be okay, then save. just in case

Get a birthday for the toddler, and it will be a child! (if it works.)
If you baby is about die type in testingcheatsenabled true it wont stop her talking but you can drag there health up and do loads more
Go to the city hall
When it gets older go to city hall
Just go to the city hall with your baby and press 'Change Name'. I know how you feel, my annoying sister named my baby 'Poo' once!
Im pretty sure you can its not a lot diff from sims2
Yes, teenage Sims are able to have relationships with other teenagers. -Answer by:xoSweetGirlxo
Yes they can have romance, but they can not get married. Also, I found out teens can date young adults (i don't know about adults, and elders well, why?) -Answer by:Threeamigeo
Yes they can have romance and if you want them to have a woohoo or a baby there's a thing you can download =)
It depends,if you eat 3 watermelons you get a great chance of having 3 girls or if you eat 3 apples you get a great chance of having boys and ther is another way try to have a lifetime reward of Fertility treatment,hope this helps :)
Get the fertility treatment or listen, read and do kids stuff
You can get them the fertility reward if you have enough reward points, but other than that its just luck of the draw... unless theres a cheat?
I found that if you start breeding as soon as they get young adults you can breed twice and twice again as adult, having done that myself I am now on my 7th generation
This is really easy, ok:
1) Get the fertility treatment for 10,000 lifetime happiness points for both of the sims.
2) eat 3 watermellons if you want girls or 3 apples for boys
3) read both the pregnancy books
I did all of that, but I had the watermelons and the single lady who was pregnant had triplets. This could give you twins instead or one baby but your more likely to get twins or triplets.

I tried using the fertilty thing, but my young adult sims have two children. Eating watermelons help to get girls, three apples to get boys. But my sims can't have a baby anymore :(. Can someone help me? (Look a question within an answer! lol.)
Do more woohoos if the musical charm is heard that means your havina baby!
[make sure your computer is NOT ON MUTE ON THE WOOHOO
[make sure your computer is NOT ON MUTE ON THE WOOHOO
You get male&female and get one to try for baby, but the 2 sims nedd to have strong like for eachother
Boolprob cheat then speed up prengnancy
Use testingcheatsenabled true cheat, go into relationships and drag up the relationship bar of the person you want to have a child with, just flirt a bit and then... you know. Or for 10,000 lifetime points buy fertility treatment and then you get pregnant really easy.
You can just relax because when the baby comes you want more
A1: 

Age them up. Use a cake and change them to Young Adult. -Answer by:shermda
A1: 

She needs to eat ambrosia but in the meantime she can gain skills or whatever just like non ghost.
A2: 

If your sim died then get to the level 10 cooking skill and get the recepie for ambrosia. Weather you died of old age electrocution swimming sink or starvation it will still work.
Fertilize it continuously with death fish. Every 4-5 days is recommended.
Get an apple and leave it on the table if you eat it the results nausea
Leave the apple in fridge for a long time then take it out
You can find "Bad Apple" seeds around the town, plant them and harvest bad apples.
Let them go bad then cook them
Not in sims 3 alone it may need a expandion pack like sims 2.
Yes you can get a part time job like at the bistro or movie theatre and eventually can get promoted to manger and you can then hire and fire people
If you've got the cash, you can. It goes in two steps.
First, you become a Partner, which usually costs between 10000-35000.
Then you try to buy out the place, which is far more expensive, but when you've done so, you will then own the business and have the ability to fire sims, and collect rent every week.

A2: Indeed, but that's not the only way. You can buy stocks of businesses, from which you gain money over time. once you have stocks, you can buy the whole shop. The management of the shops though, is minimal. You get all the income and you can change the shop's name and fire people.
Yes. You can choose to invest in a business, and then buy it out. My sim owns the movie theater, and the grocery store. You can hire/fire people, rename the store, or choose to sell it.
You can also, buy out any place and rename it, fire people, etc...
You don't even need to have a job there. When you have enough cash, you can become a partner with the business, then eventually buy it. The deed goes directly to your inventory, where you can collect money weekly from the business.
You can allso by shares in a buisness and once you buy out all other holders you can use it for free and change the name
You can become a partial owner if you click on a certain business like a restaurant. That is, if you have enough simoleons.
Not neccessarily. After its release, I'm sure a number of expansion packs for the Sims 3 will come out, some being very closely related to expansion packs of the past for The Sims 1&2, and possibly some entirely original ones.
Things like restaurants, the beach, and brushing your teeth from The Sims 2 will automatically be in the Sims 3. However, I don't think they are including things like sending your sim to college unless they make a specific expansion pack for it.
I think there might be a reason why they would make a new one mabey thell make one were you can actually go to work and well...work....mabey
"I think there might be a reason why they would make a new one mabey thell make one were you can actually go to work and well...work....mabey"
In this game there are no loading times, and you can explore the entire neighborhood without loading times, so when it comes to work, you actually ride a bike, carpool, taxi, or even your own car to work. Once you get there you will have many options, including " work hard, talk with co-workers, use work-out fucility " and some others that I cannot recall at the moment.

No :( no pets.. nothing
Small parts from numerous expansion packs are included in the base game of the sims 3, however it is pretty clear that there will be expansion packs, especially since most community lots (including the hospital) are places that cannot be entered so you cannot even witness your sim having a baby unless she or he is at home
No but bits and pieces of some are.
A6: I dont believe that having a baby is gender neutral...just saying.
As the rest of the comments outline for you, although the sims 3 has some influences from the sims 2 expansion packs, there will probably be expansion packs since the creators of the game paycheck depends on the apetite for upgrades and new opportunites within the game.

No and its rediculous because im so used to having those things it makes this game feel almost not as good so they better hurrie with those packs cuz I wont buy the game untill they have everthing or almost everything the ast one had.
They should have an expansion pack for sims 3 which you send your kids to school and play as the kids show what they do during the day that be awesome
lol
lol
Yes many including rock star and astronaut
You have to get a job from a place in town. Not to many more. You can get part time jobs though.
Yeah. Like a: rockstar, astronaut, chef, scientist, grocery store employee. IT IS SO COOL
A1: 

The prenancy thing is the same as sim2 ecept that you can now go to a hospital to have the babies.Yes, the mother would take the twins with her out of the hospital! hope this answers you questions!
A2: 

If they go to the hospital to give birth, the father stops whatever he is doing (including work) to go to the hospital to witness the birth...when twins are born he carries one, Mom carries the other.
Iv heard you can, iv heard most cheats are the same as in The Sims 2, but im guess they will be different.
There is an option in the menu to turn off aging, change the life span of your sims and more
In the sims 3 you turn aging off in the game options..you can also increase or decrease your sims' lifespan
There is that option right on the on-game menu, so no need to "cheat". :)
There is an option in the options menu to turn off aging. No cheats are needed.
You can enable/disable aging in options menu, where you can also adjust sims Lifespan from "short" (25 sim days) to "epic" (960 sim days).
Theres an option in the options menu...
You would not need a cheat to turn aging off. since your sims would be aging along with all the other sims of sunset valley, EA games placed a check box for enabling aging in the options menu. so if ever you would not want your sims in sims 3 to age, just go to options and deselect the enable aging section.
There is an option, you can simply check/uncheck aging. You can as well set up speed of aging.
Just go to options -> game -> uncheck the "aging" box.
You can turn off aging in options then just control your sims age by having birthday parties and using the birthday cake to age them.
On the sims 2 if you have enough aspiration points you can buy something called the elixir of life. you can only use it if your aspiration is above gold. it makes you 3 days younger. if it is used under gold aspiration 3 days are taken from your life.
They can also eat the life fruit everyday too this expands there life.
