Sims 3 - Gameplay Tips

[samoht04]

The only time I use the newspaer is for the 'so and so died' 'so and so moved away' stuff especially when my sims marry in a toilet and in the paper it says a very grand occasion

You can also drag food into the refrigerator.

* You can drag landary into the landary things (or whatever they are called).

* If you have a profession, you don't have to stay in the building while not doing jobs. For example, if you are a firefighter you can go to the park and play for tips on the hour as long as you respond to emergencies as quickly as possible.

* You can only gain charisma from socialization once you reach level one. However, if you get to level one later and you do a social interaction, you will jump right to the limit. 

* You can sometimes get the Divine Meal Moodlet from the bistro by chance.

* The music box is a nice way to get fun and a minor music moodlet at a low price. Plus, it's portable!

*  You can click on your Sim for a link to their cell phone.  This is so handy instead of trying to click on their personal inventory just to make a call, answer the phone, travel or to check on their real estate.

• You can remove dead plants by using the bulldozer icon in build mode. Much faster and easier than getting your Sim to remove all the dead plants one at a time
• Sim babies with the evil trait get the fiendishly delighted mood-let when they annoy another Sim with their crying. It isn't useful but fun to see it pop up.

Do you mean the hammer icon?  The bulldozer is in Edit Town to take down an entire lot.

Yes, I meant the hammer. I think I learnt that from you Pam and it saves so much time.

I found out today while finishing up my Perfect Aquarium Lifetime Wish that every fish bowl you buy has different colored rocks in each bowl! Some even have different "plants" in them. I thought that was pretty nifty..Haha

this thread is dead? why it could be so usful 
I have one little add:
* floor stuff (that inventors make at level 4) can give you positive moodlet when passing on themput them under  invetionworkshop or sculptor station or next to the door, all sims that enter will get positive moodlets when entring a house can really make a difference when throwing a party ^__^

Yes, unfortunately it and the other Legacy Tips thread have been dead for a while. I believe you meant the Floor Hygienator, Kiko. It's sometimes available in the Consignment Store, too. More on it, here.

Thanks Chronic, it feels great to find you wherever I go

[TheChronicR]

Lol, that's the way I am. Another tip guys! Always read bedtime stories for your child Sims. They get a wish and completing it gets you lifetime happiness points.

Another one I didn't know. You need generation to do that or you can do it in all sims?

Yes, it requires Generations.

I have some interesting facts about Sims traits (sorry if this is old!):

Schmoozer and Clumsy never had any conflicts, until Generations and Showtime. With Generations, Schmoozer conflicts with Rebellious, and with Showtime, Clumsy conflicts with Natural Born Performer.

Mean Spirited Sims can still have the good trait. Just like friendly Sims can be Evil.
