Cheat Gnome
Pause the game and quickly press L, Black, Right, X, Left. If you entered the code correctly, a Sim voice will say something. A blue gnome should appear near the house that your Sim is at. Your Sim will get a phone call each day to receive Simoleons. This will also happen if they are visiting another house, except for Mom's. In order to get the Simoleons there, force the Sim that is hosting you as a visitor to answer the phone by walking near it.

Create Family and Have 40,000 Simoleons
Go to Freeplay mode and pick any number (it doesn't matter what). Click a Frutti or Tutti family, and evict family. Next, you go to Edit family and you can delete everyone in the family, then make your own family. Now click done and move in family, and you have over 40,000 simoloens.

Easy Money
When you go to a house and do not have much money, trade in all the wallpaper and buy the cheap version. You can get a good amount of money. You can do the same thing with the tile.
When you move into a house, sell all the wallpaper and tiles. Then, change the tiles to grass and the wallpaper to nothing.
When you get the Tesla Coil, go on it and wait until it gives off an electric bolt. Then, go to the Build/Buy menu. Select and sell the electric bolt for 50 Simoleons.
When you move out of a house (for example, Dudley's Trailer) sell all of his stuff except the toilet, shower, bed, and refrigerator. The Sim will survive, and you will make a lot of money.
When at Mom's House, Mimi's Place, or Dudley's Trailer, buy things until your profit goes below 100 Simoleons. Wait about an hour. You will get a phone call and receive free money. Repeat this as necessary. Then, before you move out, sell everything that you bought. You will then end up leaving with more money than you started with.
Instead of working, you can get a workbench from the "Building Skills" section in buy mode. When your Mechanical skill is at its best, you will get 100 Simoleons for each gnome you make. It only takes about five seconds to make each gnome, and you can make about thirteen gnomes at once. Note: Your Sim will only make gnomes when in a good mood.
Enter buy mode and sell the paintings. Some of them are worth a couple thousand Simoleons.

Fishin' For Profit Book
To get the Fishin' For Profit book go to Nikki Nack's store (open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.). After you buy it, find O'Phil Mclean. Give it to him and he will give you a job. Note: You must get the goals from him first. To do this, talk to Salty. Later in the game, you will be offered by Nikki Nack to buy the Waterfront Villa for 3,000 Simoleons.

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

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

Naked Sims Glitch
Learn the nude song on the organs from Mortimer by befriending him (you must have creativity skill maxed). Once you learn the song, buy the organs and have the sim with the maxed creativity skill play. The other sims should become naked. Have one of the naked sims touch a bug zapper to remove the censors. To reclothe the sims, take a shower, or go to the dresser and they will return to their normal state.

Never Work
In Bustin' Out mode, the people who you live with (who you 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 clean up, or need them to do some other things.
(Thanks to msiarski@entouch.net)

Raise Motives
To help raise motives in later levels, move back to Mom's house. The Artificial Love will make raising motives easier.

Skipping Work
In Bustin' Out mode, you can skip work by moving back into 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 not going so well and you need some time to "restore" your Sim. Also in Bustin' Out mode, you can skip work by changing jobs before the 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 only get fired if you skip work two or three times in a row.
