If you want a pregnant sim to have 1 boy make her eat an apple , if you want her to have 1 girl make her eat a watermelon.But if you want her to have 2 twin girls make her eat 2 watermelons , and the same for apples.(i once did this to the extreme i got the sim to eat 3 water melons and an apple she had 3 girls and a boy !!!!!)

If you want your sim to die, go in cheat bar (control,alt,c) and type in testingcheats enabled true, hold shift and click on sim and go to trigger age transition keep doing this till they die

For this trick to work you need to have (testingcheatsenabled true) on. Open the cheat box (Ctrl+Shift+C) & type in familyFunds (your family name) (how much you want) & there you go. For Example; familyFunds Smith 999999 & i have just given the smith family $999,999 simoleons.

To get ride of bad module you have to press SHIFT+CTRL + C to get the cheat box at the top. You type "testingcheatsenabled true" in the box. Then you hold shift and click on the module and its GONE! If the Module is part of a requirement then the mod will be maxed. This will hopefully help after a death or a break up!

If you haven't figured this out yet, there's a better way to get money than using the motherlode or kaching cheat codes. All you do is 1st get the blue box on the top of the screen (the cheat console: ctrl+shift+c) and type in familyfunds [family name] [$ Amount]. Do not put in a space between family and funds. Super simple and you can put any amount, here's an example: familyfunds smith 100000. (Here we are giving the Smith family a million dollars.)

I just spent the entire day on Sims3 to see if this would work, and it did! I got my sim pregnant, then had her listen to kid music whenever she wasn't sleeping. I also had the tv on the Kidz Zone channel all day, and had her eat 3 watermelons. She had triplet twins!

make your sim a kleptomaniac and make her go to the graveyard and pick up some male remains. after you've done that go out every night that the ghost comes out and socialize with him. after a few nights once you have built up a strong relationship choose to try for baby and hopefully your sim will be pregnant and after a few days you will have ghost babies.

type in testingcheatsenabled true and press enter. go to buy mode and press "sort by category and a question mark will appear in the corner click on it and you can get free things like fish spawners, crops and trees, and other stuff. and if you have world adventures you can buy tomb objects and turn yourself into a creepy mummy. HOW TO TURN INTO A MUMMY, first you need world adventures or it wont work. you do the thing above and get the cursed sarcophagus. make your sim sleep in it for about 3 weeks and when your sim comes out one day it will appear as a mummy and walk werid... NOTE...you can turn your sim back by using the blessed sarcophigus and do the thing you did to turn it into a mummy but when you do it will walk like a zombie still
