    Please don't combine or delete this with or because of the other thread.
    Some of us need help & don't want to read through 400 posts that always go off on tangents, and rarely end up being about the app. it started from.

    That being said...

    My character is about to die, because he is hungry. I have no money, don't work for another day, but have many items i could sell.

    Is there someway to sell these items?

    No, I haven't found out a way to make a sim jealous. The most I've done was "insult" the black dude with a mohawk for flirting with his wife. Hehe, does anyone know when that pawn shop opens? And what you could do in there? For me it's still closed.

    There might be many ways but the easiest one is to hit on someone's wife or start a relationship with someone else if you already have a Spouse/Partner. Hope this helps. And yea kissing someone in front of your wife helps too :D

    Make Easy and Fast Money


    I finally found out a easy way to make money! Just buy a fishing kit from the hobby store and go visit the lake. Fish as much as you can and quickly increase your skill level to full. After your skill is full You will have more chances of catching Tuna, Spotters and Salmons. Fish and then sell them at the mart. I made more than 1000 simutrans by selling Tuna, Salmons and Catfishes (least value). I have upgraded my house and bought a Modern TV :D

    What is the panel below the actions that a sims has, on the top left corner of the screen? Sometimes it shows me some things but I don't understand.

    That's what I do. It can earn you about 500 simoleons in day with work as well. You could probably get about 1000 simoleons if you didn't work, but I'm keepingmy job, because I think I will get a lot more money in the future.

    And for those people wondering how to sell things. When you go to the store, go onto shop and then scroll down to any items that you have. The you wil notice that it will say, 7/10 salmon for example, then just press the minus button until they are all gone (0/10 salmon) and then press ok.

    Note - you can also sell lots of things at the same time by going through all of your items, pressing minus, so they all go down to 0. Then by pressing confirm, then you will sell all the different items.

    Thank you! I didn't realize you could sell the fish. Knowing this changed my (Sim's) life. I thought it was going to take years to get a better house. :D

    Is there any way to start a relationship with someone already in a relationship? There doesn't seem to be many choices for relationships, I have only found about Sims chicks not already living with Sims dude.

    I'm a total Sims noob, this is my first time playing. Any pointers would be appreciated.

    Yep, you can chose betwen politics, biology and food (working in cafe).
    Although you don't get to see your sim working, you do get options sometimes to steal things from work, tell your boss about someone else stealing and you can ask your boss (who is an actual sim in the game) for a pay rise.

    If you have played any other sims games and enjoyed then, then you will definately like this one. I bought it thinking it would be quite a scaled down version, but in reality, I thought that it hadn't been scaled down too much. After a while, the lack the ability to build a house didn't really matter, as the game makes up for it in lots of other ways. There are lots of different and new things (being sims 3), so I was pleased with this, as it felt like sims 2 minus the build mode, but with some extras (I won't spoil them for you).

    Yeah, so I would definately recommends the game if you have enjoyed previous sims games, if not, you will still like it anyway :)

    SO let me get this straight, this game plays more like animal crossing, than an actual SIMS game where you build a house and all that stuff?
