sprinklers and plants - a happy combo

if you are tired with watering your plants... go to the outdoor furniture and add sprinklers. place plants around them and hey, presto... your plants will be watered every morning from 4.30 - 5.30 that's if you upgrade them to auto sprinkle.

Auquatic Godly Entrance

After typing in [moveObjects on], pick up you sim(s) and put them on the bottom of your pool. Go back into live mode and press pause, give the one (or them if you have more than one) the command to swim. They should all (or just the one) float up and walk about 5 steps on the water.
