Socials" code as many times as desired. Sell the Power Social
items obtained. You can repeat this as much as desired. Enable the "Cheat gnome" code, then select all the Physical
and Mental motives. You can then go to a cash register and sell
them for money. Go to the South Side Bridge. Go to the Lucky Six and cheat on
any of those games. You will bet 500 Simoleons but walk away with
1,000 Simoleons.


Hint: Easy rep:
Go to Skyline Beach and get past the bouncer at midnight.
You might need the style and some, but it will be worth it. Someone
will give you a Power Social. Start to use it on everybody. Keep
in a good mood and keep using it. You will become the player on
Skyline Beach. Socials that are green are more likely to succeed; however red
socials can reap larger rewards, just at a higher risk to your
current reputation. Get to all the sides of the areas. You can get all the pieces
to Darius' secret machine. If you go to all of them and stop the
opponent with power socials, when you get all of the pieces you
will unlock Darius' penthouse. Go on the train there and throw
a party to get a lot more reputation.


Hint: Easy food:
If your Sim is hungry and low on money, instead of
paying a machine, try kicking it. This may take a few attempts,
but food will come out for your Sim to eat for free. Go to Skyline Beach or Gasoline Row. Go to the grill and grill
sausages. You can then eat for free.


Hint: Easy fun:
Once you can go to Skyline Beach, you can go to the
shop and get it. Whenever you need fun, go home and use it. It
also raises your hygiene.


Hint: Raising skills:
When you are trying to raise skills on the mental machine,
exercicycle, the dance thing, or minting Simoleons on the machine
in Darius' Penthouse, the fastest and easiest way is to immediately
pause game play. Before the pause screen appears, keep tapping
X and it will go up and not down while the pause screen
is loading. Repeat this as necessary to bring it back up to the
top.


Hint: Restore energy:
There is a chair in Gasoline Row with flames on it.
It can restore your energy

Hint: Red Bull soda machine:
Go to the central station. Go into one of the trains
to find a Red Bull soda machine . You can by a soda from it.



Hint: Better mood:
You can get your mood up all the way by creating another
character and making sure that the Sim in the bad mood is in the
apartment. Play with the new character for awhile, then go back
to the main character. He or she will be in a very good mood.



Hint: Secret bonus closet:
When you move to the Blankwood Towers apartment, there
is a secret closet. You cannot put it in your inventory, so it
cannot go in other apartments. Its secret clothing depends on
your Urbz's gender. Males will get Darius' tracksuit, with glasses,
shoes and hat. Females will get Roxanna Moxie's costume, including
hat and leggings. Roxanna Moxie is a character from the Game Boy
Advance and Nintendo DS version of the game. Both secret sets
of clothing are neutral for all districts.


Hint: Hidden Power Socials:
Look in the dumpster in Blankwood Towers. You will
find a Blast I Kiss in it, but look twice. Spend some time in every dumpster. You will be rewarded for "DumpsterDiving".
All over the city there are Power Socials. Instead of going into
the clubs and getting them off Darius, you can keep looking in
every bin in every part of town.


Hint: Darius' Penthouse:
Defeat all the villains and you will get a piece to
Darius' Secret Machine. Defeat all the villains and you will unlock
Darius' Penthouse.


Hint: Luxury area:
To have a room that is basically a luxury area, transfer
the sinks, bathroom, food machine, etc., all to the place where
your job is located. You will not have to move much, only to interact
with Sims and go to your home. Note: If you put things too close
to each other, you will not be able to use them.


Hint: Placing objects:
You can buy and place objects in any of the districts.
Just buy it or put it in your inventory then place it in any district.
Note: If you place too many objects the chance of a fire increases.



Hint: Face on signs and shirt:
When you become a superstar (level 35) at Skyline Beach,
all the signs around you will have your face on them. You can
also have your face on a custom-made shirt.


Hint: Career recommendation:
The easiest career is the modeling job, in Diamond
Heights. It gets you the most money; and the combinations do not
move and do not have a time limit when to press them.


Hint: Do not lose furniture after not paying
rent:
First, make sure you have furniture in the 98th floor
or Blackbland Towers. If you do not have money for rent, do not
go your house. Go to Blackbland or 98th. Harry Snivel should be
there. Make sure ypu have bad light there. He will take it (put
three of the lights in there). After he steals them, he will leave
and you can go back home. If you do not have enough money to pay Harry Snivel rent, press
Square and go to your inventory. Then, press Square
again to go into grab mode. You can then put all your items in
your inventory and Harry Snivel will go home. This can be done
as many times as desired. Note: Harry will take lights, and if
you are using something like taking a shower you can not store
it. Also, if you are sleeping on the couch or sitting or lying
in bed he cannot take it.

Hint: Avoid buying extra items:
When you get to Diamond Heights, you do not need to
buy things such as chairs, toilets, sinks, and tables. Press Square,
go to your inventory, and move items that are already in the building.



Hint: Pets:

Dog at 98th Ave., third floor: Add $750 worth of furniture to
your apartment to unlock a pet bulldog.



Cat at Blankwood Towers: Add $3,000 worth of furniture to unlock
a pet cat.



Monkey at Dauris's Penthouse: Add $5,000 worth of furniture to
unlock a pet monkey.

Hint: EyeToy:
The PlayStation 2 version of the game has the XAM cam
feature for the EyeToy. You can take pictures and use them to
decorate the town.



Hint: Sims reference:

When the music comes out of the Cozmo Street Dance
Van, some of the symbols will be conversation topics from the
original Sims.
