—Guest Myah :)

Press 'Ctrl-Shift-C'. This will open up the cheat box. Type in 'TestingCheatsEnabled True/False' (True turns on cheats, false disables cheats.)and proceed to type in 'Motherlode'. This will give you $50,000 worth of Simoleons. Shift-Right-Clicking will give you many options, such as careers, and their levels. If you do all this, your Sim will be bathing in luxury and money all the time! :-)

¿You want to have the D'art museum at Sunset Valley or a dodgo at Bridgeport (sorry, haven't visited China yet so I don't know the exact name or if there actually is one)? It's simple, no cheats required. You just have to go to Edit game (or was it Edit city?) and go to the city you want the house from. Tip: Better do it before starting a new game, or else the interactions of the whole city will be cancelled (there's a window that warns you, so I don't know if it's just the household of if it's all the town). If you want to love Not-what-it-sims i don't have any problem. Really, love me, please.
