Go to work one day then skip work the next day to fill your motives.Note: Be careful; if you skip work two times in a row you canget fired.

Hint: Raising skills:
While living with Mom, do not run out and get a jobafter you have completed the first few goals. Instead, stay aroundawhile and use that time to build skills. Mom will nag you, butjust select "Okay" and keep doing everything else. Makesure to keep yourself happy and entertain/talk/joke with Mom tokeep your relationship up to par. When you have your skills whereyou want them, move out. This will make things much easier. Youwill then be able to concentrate on your job and relationships,rather than skill building.

Notice that when you are at your Mom's house at the beginning,your Sim's energy and social do not go down, and will remain atthe halfway point. Using this, you can raise your skills faster.First, have breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Then, use the toilet,take a bath, watch television for fun and comfort, then finallywork on whatever skill you want. After repeating this routinebefore having breakfast, lunch, or dinner, clean up the plates.Do not call a maid or anything else, as it is a waste of money.For extra money, do creative skills on your paint set and sellyour paintings when done. This will give you a lot of money whenyou are done with your skills. Do all goals except getting a job.Do not sleep or talk to your mom while doing this. When done withCooking, Mechanical, Creative, and Charisma, buy a chess tablefor Logic. When you are done with those skills, sell the chessset (whole refund). Then, buy the weight lifting machine for theBody. When done with all skills, get a job and move out.

While waiting for your baby to become a child, you are not allowedto leave your house. This is a great time for building your skillsup, improving your relationships for your career, and doing whateverneeds done around the house.

To raise your Body skills much faster, work out on the Rock ClimbingWall. Your Sim will get Body points going up the wall and alsowhen going down the wall.

To successfully gain skills, put fun in between your tasks, suchas Study, Read, Study, Dance, Paint. Note: Do not them do dancingand watching television very long before going on to the nexttask.

Hint: Fun rating:
To always have a good Fun rating, buy the Aromasterand place it in your Sims bedroom. Each time your Sim goes tobed, turn it onto the second selection, "Lavendar & Marjoram".This will boost your Fun meter while your Sim sleeps. You needto have at least 150 Simoleans in order to run the Aromaster.Also, if you get robbed, the Aromaster will be one of the firstthings stolen; have a burglar alarm in place.

Hint: Unlock social options:
To unlock most social options, become friends withthe Sims. For example, when you be friends with Randy you willunlock "French Kiss" and with Paisly you could unlock"Spank Booty". Each Sim has there own social optionto unlock when you become their family friend.

Hint: Keeping friends:
Get married when possible, then instead of gettingthe friends you need to get a promotion with your Sim, get thefriends with the Sim you are married to. The relationship thatthe Sim you are married to has with other Sims never decreases.You can get friends and not have to worry about keeping them.

Hint: Having a baby:
Your Sims must be married and the Love Bed must beunlocked. Pick your female Sim and tell her to "Sleep".Then, bring the male Sim and tell him to "Play In Bed".After you finish, kiss her and you will be asked if you wouldlike to have a baby. Note: Your relationship must be 100%.

If you need to have a baby as part of a goal, in free play modemake a family with just a male (if playing a female) or a female(if playing a male). Then, make them have a child. Save them,then move them in on 3 Free Street. Build a small nice house thengo back under your Sim that need to do this goal. Have him orher get in love and then marry. Make sure this is the last goalthat you need.. This way, you can just move out and move on withthe game. When you move in with the next family and view yourgoals, "Get married" and "Raise a baby to child"will be already be checked.

Hint: Jock career:
To successfully complete the Jock career, you needto have all Body points, 4 Cooking points, and 5 Charisma points.You will also need six friends. A quick way to complete this isgo to Mom's house and buy something to work your body (for example,a treadmill, pool, etc.);a bookshelf or something similar to thegourmet cooking stove; and something for your charisma (for example,a microphone or a mirror). Do that, then build your skills andmove to the different houses so you can complete a goal and unlocksomething. You will eventually get to Malcolm's mansion.

Hint: Career for completing the game faster:
To complete the game much faster and easier, startit with the Mad Scientist career. Work on your Mechanical andsome Body skills, then after completing that career, get a newjob in the Counter Culture career. Work on your Cooking and Charismaskills. While doing these careers, you can stock up on the "important"skills. For example, you must work on your Mechanical and somebody Skills in the Mad Scientist career so you can get full barsfor those, full bars of Cooking for the Counter Culture career,and Charisma for both.

Hint: Skipping work:
In Bustin' Out mode, you can skip work by moving backinto Mom's house. While you live with Mom, the bus will not arrive,and you do not have to work. This is useful if things are notgoing so well and you need some time to "restore" yourSim.

In Bustin' Out mode, you can skip work by changing jobs beforethe bus arrives. Later, you can just change back to your old job.This is useful if you are about to get fired. Note: You will onlyget fired if you skip work two or three times in a row.

It is easy to lose your job when you do not go to work for twoor three days. When this happens you will get a phone call sayingthat you have been fired. Even if you do not answer the phone,a message will appear stating that you lost your job. Your Simwill be unemployed, but it will not be the end of the game. Gettingfired gives you a chance to raise your Sim's motives, build somemissing skills, or make more friends to help you advance in yourcareer when you start your job again. However, when you get yourjob back you must start at the same slot that you were before.This means you are going to have to work hard again to get promotedand be able to move out.

Hint: Never work:
In Bustin' Out mode, the people who you live with (whoyou can control) cannot get fired. If you want them to stay home,just let them. This can be very useful if you need them to cleanup, or need them to do some other things.

Hint: Get a bigger room:
When at Dudley's trailer, go to the master bedroom.Then, sell the door that leads to the smaller room so that thereis just a wall. Next, make a door at the top right corner so thatthere is a place you could walk into the smaller room. Then, decorateboth rooms' wallpaper and carpet to be the same and you will havea bigger room.
