With a high enough handiness skill, a sim can upgrade their sprinkler to auto-water their garden.
And once you start two sims doing friendly or romantice interactions, they'll continue doing them without any help from you. Just give them a few real-time seconds after you've told them to chat or kiss a couple of times and watch.
I have had them switch all the time with large house holds at their choice. So not sure how many times they need to sleep in same bed for the bed to be assigned. Also annoying when your sims age up and married and wont stop sleeping in their old twin kid bed.
Oh! I did not know this! I always thought it was just the teddy that was able to
Cool, now i put baby books all over the floor of my baby sims room and tell him to go read. GENIUS.
you have to read the first book with the child, after that they can read their own books
Actually not - at least not in my game. I thought so too, but tried it without someone reading to them first and it worked. Toddlers can read before they can talk/ walk/ use the potty.
If you don't want to wade through all 171 pages, you can find all the tips and tricks listed in my blog: http://www.thesims3.com/myBlog.html?persona=Schweighsr
I'm totally gonna make another baby just so I can do this. :shock:
-Many people say your sim's first home is a starter this means when you just made your sim in create-a-sim you have a low budget of $16,000.
-To get Simpoints you must use a credit card.
-There is no Body shop for the sims 3
-If your sim is cooped up in there house for to long they get a feeling that says they shuold go out btw if you already got that once or twice then shame on you this isnt the sims 1 or 2 that has a loading that takes like 10 minutes to load.
-To make custom patturns you must use a program that has brushes like photo shop etc here is a link a very very very useful website:

testingCheatsenabled true - turns it on and false turns it off.
A lifetime happiness cheat-to make the( Shazaam )cheat work-First, you MUST be on the select a family screen (aka Main Menu) and type in the cheat box "testingcheatsenabled true". Then go to your family. Go to the Lifetime Happiness tab with the chest. Click in between the numbers and the chest. The part you have to click on is not tiny - just click in the area, closer to the chest. Each time you click you get 500 points.
I'm not 100% sure if you use Ctrl, Shift , or neither, so start by clicking normally. If that doesn't work try Ctrl+ click. Last, try Shift+ click.
It works. No mod needed
for happiness/mood/nneds-"testingcheatsenabled true" type that into console, ctrl shift c then shift click on mailbox. A list should pop up. try clicking on active sim with shift click too.You also open the needs menu and drag your mouse over the need towards the max and it will move the green line to full.

OK - this is too sweet....:) Thx...I'm prolly the last person to realize this...but nevertheless...too friggin cute! thx
They can't play with it in the bed...as far as I know it's just for decoration. However, if you put a teddy bear in the baby's "backpack" (infant, toddler, and child" they get a snuggle moodlet - cutest thing ever!
ETA: - FYI - the snuggle moodlet begins to show when they fall asleep and lasts for like 5 hours after they wake up.
