I figured out a good way to remove the repo-man : take out the front door, once he teleports in, find him an enter the cheat code (testingcheatsenabled true) then right click on the repo man and delete him (He will be gone) It worked for me !!!

Blue blotches appear when your sims game is over loaded with cheats. I had this happen once, all of my sims heads turn into blue flashing blotches. I've played sims and have experienced it multiple times. It's nothing to worry about, just make another family and restart. Just remember, don't use to many cheats.

when you choose the family you wanna play, do shift, ctrl, c and type in testing cheats enabled on. then click enter. after that choose your family you wanna play. then go to the lifetime rewards icon in the down right corner. click between the tresure trest and the points. you have to click in the right spot. once you click between the two things i ssaid, you will get 500 reward points. you can do as many times as you want.

*NEED TS3 PETS* If you sim is dieing, and you have a dog in the house with a stron relationship with the dieing sim, after the grim reaper has sent the sims to the grave, get your dog and click the option that says somthing like 'bark at death or somthing, the chance is, you sims will come back to life! I stumbled upon this fact by mistake.

This is a cool cheat and so simple. First type in testingcheatsenabled true. Then when you get the house you want hold down the shift button and click on the mailbox.A screen will appear showing you different options like choose a career and all that.Click the one that says make me know everyone and then after a couple of seconds you will know everyone and if you want to befriend a sim just drag the relationship bar all the way to 100 Or to watever level you want .Joe I helped you!!!!!!!!
