NOTE: Some of these cheats may not work due to patches, etc. While others are probably not intended to be used by game players and may screw up your system. Use them at your own risk.

While playing the game hit CTRL+SHIFT+C to bring up the cheat box. Type in the codes below to get the needed results. If you type a space then exclamation mark, your cheat will repeat. Using a semi-colon in between, you can use multiple exclamation marks ie. rosebud !;!;!; You may pull up the window and type CTRL-Z to repeat the previous cheat.

Garbage Bag of Holding
In the early stages of The Sims lifetime is often wasted emptying the trash and bringing it to the curb. I found that if you fill the cheap 30 simoleon trash barrel you can order your Sim to empty it and just as they remove the bag cancel the order. Then order them to pick up the mess that they just made and they will return the full bag to an empty barrel, which will now be empty. Do this every time it fills and trash need never be brought outside to the curb again. This saves a lot of time.

Paying the Bills
Simply keep a bill, unpaid, until the mail carrier delivers the next set. When your flag is up (your mailbox being full of - what else, more bills), pay the first one (bring it out to the mailbox). When you do this, the newer bills disappear. Using this cheat, you will only have to pay every other bill, instead of every one.

Building a Castle in the Clouds
Large second-floor extensions to a house, or even an entire house in the air, can be built totally unsupported by the following method. First, lay out a complete ground layer of pillars. You'll need lots to form a surface to build on. Next build your second-floor home on top of these pillars. It's important that you do ALL the structural work at this point; get all the walls placed and floors put in. Don't forget the stairs! Next, simply switch to the ground floor, and delete all the pillars. The house will remain standing, completely unsupported by anything except thin air! Voila! A castle in the clouds for your Sims!
