"If ur looking to get through the careers quick in bustin out mode, just move into Dudley's (or Mimi's) first, then pick a job thats in the goals list for that house. Now get the two promotions you need to complete the goals for that job, & change careers to the next job on the goals list. (You will keep your level in a job if you change to another.) Once you've finished all jobs for that house ,move out to the next house. (when you move out, the list of houses shows which houses have which careers available for promotion.) Hey Presto! Instant careers!" - Ibz

"The best way to get a wife or husband on Bustin' Out mode is to create a woman or man (depending what gender you made your sim) on Free Play with the same behavior points (outgoing, neat, nice, etc.) as you (in the game). This also gives you a chance to create a sim you like how they look. Go back to Bustin' Out mode (Continue) and put in this code at the pause screen (it enables all places for visiting) R2, R3, L3, L2, R1, L1 (try to do it quickly, like in 3 or 4 seconds). Go to the person you made in Free mode by choosing that street number. You might of made a house for her or him, but if you didn't, it should still work. Well it won't take a while for you two to become lovers, its easy, choose French Kiss, don't be shy, go ahead. When you do, get to a level where you have the Get Married objective (the first one to have that objective when you move is Casa Caliente). To get married though, invite your lover over (hey there's another objective), have a meal served and grab a plate (they best sit down) (your lover should follow) , the two sims chat and eat at the same table, the lover should go to the bathroom, quickly run to the living room and sit on a two-person seat (love seat) , turn on the plasma (the less-priced usually don't work, the more expensive takes to long), watch t.v., pause the game by pressing down L1, with your right hand click on the lover and choose watch t.v., the lover will take a seat also, chat and watch the screen, pause it the same way again and use your free hand to turn off the t.v. (keep it held) and then click on your lover and choose purpose, finally the two automatically change to their wedding clothing and get married!

This tip also comes in handy when you have to have a child. Yes that's right, the first thing to come to mind is sex. Well you don't have to have sex (sex, sex, sex, sex, sex). The Vibrating Bed takes to long. Just keep kissing at that level and the message should pop up. If you used my last tip (which you probably did if you are still reading) it is a charm. You kiss once and the message will pop up, just like that!" - Voodoo Instructor, P.X.S.
