"Press Crtl+Alt+C at the same time. A little rectangular box will appear at the top left corner. Type in move _objects on. Then have your Sim open the fridge and tell him to get a snack. Pause as soon as she or he takes it out of the fridge. Then go to the buy mode and click on the chips and sell it for $15." - A Friend

"Got a nasty looking potion (avoid green and purple; it just saves you a lot of time) or a broken appliance? Never fear. Before the Sim is finished with the potion/breaking the object, quickly pause the game, use the cheat move_objects on, and delete the Sim. Not only is your Sim in a perfect mood, but you've saved your appliance or your chemistry set is perfectly empty, devoid of the evil potion." - theladyrose

"Before u ever clean the genie lamp make sure you save, just in case. Therefore if the wish he grants you backfires you still have a chance to go again." - Dan

"Buy lots of genie lamps. Since a single genie lamp can only be used once every Sim day, it's best to get lots of them. If things go right and you get enough genie lamps, you can get fresh plants, a full comfort bar, a fountain, plastic falmingoes that don your lawn, someone who loves you, a pot of gold, a happy family, and a good friend all in one day!" - She-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named

"Ok my tip is about the telescope:
The telescope does give you logic but sumtimes it might even give you a surprise! You see if your a real nerd which means you spend half your time gazing through the telescope an alien actually might come and abduct you! He takes you to his planet after a while you arrive back at home. Don't worry he doesn't fully abduct you but he does make you in a bad mood! My suggestion don't be a nerd and gaze through the telescope 24/7. Better yet don't even buy one you can get a chess board which is cheaper and it gives you logic too." - Samstar

"WARNING - DO NOT I repeat, DO NOT do the following: If you drink the potion (on your chemistry set) that turns you into a monster, DO NOT do the move_object thing and delete your self, the crosshair doesn't show on your picture, therefore permenantly deleting yourself! Lol its funny but true, your icon still shows but you are nowhere to be found." - tater salad
