Buy a telescope and have your Sim look in it. At random, aliens will take your Sim to the heavens for an entire day. Your Sim will return with a thought bubble over its head, with a picture of a alien. Note: This does not always happen. Keep trying and it will happen eventually.
Breeding animals
Unlike Sim babies, you cannot delete the parents and children. Allow the computer run for three Sim days and the kitten/puppy will grow up.

Enable the move_objects on code and make your Sim hold the baby. Then, delete that Sim and your entire family. The baby screen will appear. It might not change the sex, but you can change the name.

Easy money
If you leave food out and do not have a maid, you may see cockroaches wandering around your floor. Enable the move_objects on code and click on the roaches. Sometimes, the message "Sell SRR Virtual Reality Set for…" with a price of 100 to 1000 Simoleans will appear.
Exceed family member limit
Use the following trick to add other members to your family, after you already have eight members. Enable the move_objects on code. If you have a family that consists of eight members and you want to add another, delete six of your family members. Those members are not gone forever. If you want another kid, keep the parents active and try to get a baby. If you want another pet, keep one adult active and buy a pet. You will not be able to control what this new member does.
Free pizza
Enable the move_objects on code then pick up the phone and call the pizza man. Then when he arrives, do not answer the door. When he is leaving, enter buy mode and pick up the pizza out of his hands. You now have a free pizza.
Full need meters
If your Sim is very depressed or has another low attribute, enable the move_objects_on code and pause game play. Click on the Sim in buy/sell mode and click the bottom of the screen to delete him/her. Once deleted go to the live mode and double clock the person's head icon to go to where that Sim is located. Everything should be close to full. Note: Wave the game immediately before performing this cheat, or you will lose any career changes or points you have earned.
Genie
Buy the antique lamp in the miscellaneous section. Have your Sim clean it and a Genie will appear. You will get to choose different things. Choose correctly and you will get a gift.
Getting married
When you get the two Sims completely in love, save the game before marrying. If the Sim says no and gives you a reason, go back to the neighborhood screen without saving. Go back to the house, and fulfill the need. If you ask the Sim to marry you many times over a period of a few days and then answer is always, "Can't you tell I'm in a terrible mood? Your timing stinks.", then give up. They are not meant for you.
Invite the Sim over. Before she or he arrives, make dinner and get a radio. When the Sim gets there, greet them then start about three or four conversations. After that, the Sim should eat on their own. If necessary, move the food closer to the Sim. After they eat, start to dance with them one to three times. Afterwards, ask them to marry you and they should take the ring. If not, try again. If it still does not work, that Sim was not meant for you.
Money for flies
Enable the move_objects on code and click on the flies buzzing around the house. The label on the bottom of the screen describes that you can delete the SSRI Virtual Reality Set for 2300 Simolians, when you actually have the flies at hand that are worth nothing.
Naked Sim
Have your Sim take a bath in the cheapest shower (the small square one where he or she can stand up). Once he or she is taking a shower, pause game play, and enable the move_objects on code. Delete the shower while your Sim is bathing. Resume the game and your Sim will be completely naked with no censor blur. They will think that they are in normal clothing. This effect can be disabled by "changing" clothes.
Never clean messes
If you do not want your Sim to have to clean messes, enable the move_objects on code and go to buy mode. Then, pick up the trash and delete it.
Never ending presents
Put a fireplace, a Christmas tree and a plate of cookies in one room, then enable the move_objects on code. Delete your Sims before midnight.

After he has finished as many gifts as there are Sims, plus one more, click on your Sims so they reappear in your house (or the game will freeze). Leave the game on speed 3 for awhile until Santa finishes covering everything with presents.
Never miss work
Enable the move_objects on code and put your garbage can in front of the vehicle.
Enable the move_objects on code and move the car to a different location where an inanimate object is in its way.
Never pay bills

Pause and save the game, then enable the move_objects on code. Delete your Sim, then revive him while the game is still paused. Resume the game and tell your Sim to pay the bill. The bill should be reduced to 0 Simoleons.

To get its personality back press "ctrl+shift+c" the type in the box "move_objects on" then press enter. Go to build mode use the hand tool, pick up the sim with the personality change and delete it! Then go back to live mode click on their face icon and their stats should all be up and their peronality will be back.
Portal

Prevent dog fight with raccoon
Enable the move_objects on code. When they start going around in a circle, staring at each other, click on the dog. Move it into the house or click on raccoon and click again on bar below and delete the animal. You cannot always count on them to get in a fight, but there is about a 70% chance you or your dog or cat will.
Quick and easy friends
First, build a hot tub then invite a friend to your house (must be another adult). Get your Sim and the person you want to be friends with in the hot tub, then build counters or shelves all the way around it. Set the timer to ultra speed and wait. Because they cannot get out, they will just talk away. Leave them there until they become friends.

When El Bandito the racoon comes to your house (a window will appear like a burglur or spellchecker alert) he will go through your trash, wake your sims, and leave a pile of garbage, but if you have a loyal dog on your side, Spot will go and fight Bandito and chase him off your lot.
Remove censor
When your Sims love each other very dearly, they will skinny dip in the hot tub together. Enable the move_objects on code while they are skinny dipping and remove the hot tub.
Second story
Instead of placing a number of pillars to make a second story, just build a normal first floor with nothing in it, then build a second floor and delete the walls on the first floor.
Stacking
You can stack a few things on top of each other. For example, with the cookies under the "Other" section in "Miscellaneous", place one and without moving your pointer place another one and repeat. You can also create a tower from the Turkeys found in the same area. You may need to enable the move_objects on code for this to work. You can also alternate stack the two items together.
Stool labeled as Doll House
Have a child in your family. Get them to use the sink and they will get on top of a stool. Pause game play and enable the move_objects on code. Pick up the stool, and it will read "Doll House".

Note: You can still train and interact with your pet.
