Walking on water:
After mission 5, go to Daddy Bigbucks on the island where you found the Dancing Nutria. If he is there, returnhome. If you go back and he is not there, try to run off the little island and go into the water. Sometimes, you can run on the water and are free to roam to different screens of water. You won’t be able to run on land, except to your boat. Run to Paradise Island you will find Daddy Bigbucks there.
Indoor motorcycle riding:
During the “No Running Law”, get off your motorcycle and run around a short time before jumping on your motorcycle quickly. You will see Dan D. Detective Mann say “Busted! Walk, don’t run!” Note: This requires a few attempts. You can ride your motorcycle in the jailhouse and on the roof. Also, if you have the secret hole in the wall (behind the poster of girl), you can ride through the tunnel and to the Bayou.
Mokey’s name mistake:
This only works after you have turned Mokey into Mauricio Keys. First, go to the Splicer Island lab where you make your pet and talk to Dr. Keys. Get his relationship to 75 to receive some beads. When you exit the chat-screen, it will say “Mokey gave you some beads!” instead of “Dr. Mauricio Keys gave you some beads.”
Cup game:
At the carnival, play the cup game and follow the cup perfectly. If you choose it, the ball is sometimes under a different cup.
Game-freezing glitches:
-Once you’re on the bayou, find the dark tree. After speaking to Lloyd the lizard, immediately press A as he vanishes to talk to him again. A screen that looks like the normal talk screen but without a person at a top, options, or a return button will appear. The music will continue for a few seconds before skipping repeatedly. You must turn off the DS to continue play.
-After completing the game and you have a pet from Splicer Isle, go to your time machine on top of King Tower with your pet. When you try to enter the time machine with your pet, the game will freeze because the time machine only fits one person. Note: Save the game before this.
-At the end of the game (mission S), you will be an animal. When you go to the carnival to get to Winky, get around him and talk to? Pepper Pete to freeze the game.
-Note: You must have your hoverboard in your pockets for this to work. On Mission S, after the pet show, you will go to the lab and turn into your pet. Go outside and press R to hear the hoverboard sound, except it will transform into a random pet, but be covered in electricity. Immediately press random directions on the D-pad to transform into another animal. You will not be able to move and must restart your DS.
Finding the secret lab hint:
Between 3:00 and 4:00 a.m., go to the executive office (the third floor) of the King’s Tower and go the farthest corner from the bottom of the touch screen. An arrow appears when you stand in front of it. Press A to open a secret passage. From there, just search the lab for the blueprints.
Clem automatically knows you are human:
When he talks to you, choose”Garlic ice cream”, “Lying on the beach”, and “Pet dog”.
Venus Flytrap plant strategy:
At the Bayou or Splicer Island, there are plants that look like Venus Flytraps and try to eat you. To avoid getting eaten, press A(2) to do a taunt, making the plant bite the ground and get stuck.
Extra Xizzle Beads hints:
-When you earn a Xizzle Bead from anyone after getting their relationship to 75%, do not talk to any person you got a Xizzle Bead from until their Relationship is below 40%. Then, make friends with them again and get the Relationship back up to 75% to possibly get another Xizzle Bead. Note: This is useful in multi-player mode to get more Xizzles from a friend.
-Along the wooden fence with the bushes (the one away from the Dumpster by the Xizzle door), an arrow will appear that, when selected, will say that you have found Xizzle Beads.
-Go to the yellow bus and walk between the fence and the bus. Face the bus’ door and when an arrow appears, select it to find a Xizzle Beads.
-Inside the hospital, when you first walk in, there is a back sofa. Walk to the left of the sofa and in front of the plant. An arrow will appear. Select it to find a Xizzle Beads.
Reality show hint:
When doing the reality show on mission 5, get your motives up (Sleep, Food, Bathroom, Shower, Fun, Comfort) in order to survive the eight hours. Pick up all questions before taking them to Pritchard.
Olde Salty’s dance:
When you are Pepper Pete, go to Club Xizzle to dance like Olde Salty.
Complete Pepper Pete costume:
Collect the following to complete Pepper Pete’s costume: get the Frosty White Beard from Pritchard, the Copper Coat in the store in Urbania, and the hat you can purchase over the internet (three or four weeks for delivery).
Carnivale mission hint:
On mission 4, “Carnivale, the Dancing Natria” can be found on the small island in front of The “Twins’ Bayou Shack” on the map.
The Bigbucks Players mission hint:
On mission 4, “The Bigbucks Players”, you need five things for decorations. Do not put anything on the stage you want to keep or else you won’t get them back. Use the things that people give you as housewarming gifts to not lose money.
Land Ho! Secret mission hint:
To find helpers, talk to the monkeys and get their relationship past 50. They like playing, rubdowns and scratching. Then, speak to Futo Maki.
Saving time during Mission For The Mann:
When you do “Mission for the Mann”, instead of going to the bulletin board, just search the shrubbery near the museum.
Lowest bills:
Once you have gotten your bills down to 40%, it is possible to get them down even lower. Getting a roommate causes your bills to go down by half.
Not having to pay bills:
When the screen with “BUSTED pay bills next time” appears, you will be sent to prison. Instead of going to the gate and paying bills, sleep for about a day and the gate will open. This way, you will not have to pay your bills.
Recovering full life:
One way to recover full life is by passing out. Pass out by not eating or getting eaten by a Venus Flytrap at the Bayou or Splicer Island. Alternately, if you are a Richie, make best buds with Luthor L. Bigbucks to eventually get a machine. It feeds, talks to you, rests you, and does everything.
Easy Rep points:
Get any rival rep group member up to 100 and ask them to move in with you. If they do, kick them out to receive a rep point for that rep group’s rival. Repeat the process.
Quicker Sleep and Comfort:
The Bamboo Double Bed obtained from the girl on the island near Paradise Island makes your Sleep and Comfort turn green faster than a normal bed.
Easy relationship with Ephram Earl:
You need high popularity for three different goals. Talking to other people in Club Sizzle makes it difficult to become friends with Ephram Earl, the ghost. This is because Ephram Earl only likes being talked to. Trying to cheer him up, entertaining him, telling him jokes or bad puns, or even making rude gestures or insults, and crying only makes him angry and takes away 6 points of relationship. You must talk to him about anything. You will gain 2 points, but it will go quickly. If you buy the Xizzle, Jibba Jabba, it has no effect on him.
Ultimate MP-DEE Stereo System:
Reach 100% relationship with Darius and invite him over to your house. If he likes your house, he will give you a housewarming gift. After that, speak to him and he will give you the stereo.
Magic Lamp:
Become friends with Crystal until your relationship is over 90, then invite her over to your house. If she accepts, she will arrive instantly and give you a Magic Lamp. You cannot place it anywhere but you can go inside the lamp by selecting it on the pocket menu. There are only two things you can do inside the lamp; use a big golden toilet and a big bed.
Free food hint:
While in Urbania, in the center of the town are bushes and plants within the wooden fence. Select the metal grill to the left of the bushes to get free burgers and free fish. This boosts your food bar more than other foods such as pizza, corndogs, and snacks.
Motorcycle upgrades:
The best upgrades for your motorcycle are as follows:
Suspension: Sport
Engine: Annihilator
Nitrous Tank: Small
Tires: Racing
Chassis: Heavy
Fall off your motorcycle:
Before the level when Daddy B. escapes in his Time Machine, when the ninja has an “!” over his head, ride you motorcycle into the carnival (at 2 a.m. to 3 a.m.). Ride to where Heidi (the ninja) is found and she will throw a smoke bomb at you. This has the same effect of being in a room with a fire (choke and faint). If you drive at full speed, you will fall off your motorcycle while it rides into a wall.
University schedule:
Every session lasts two hours. If the professor says, “I am not holding any classes right now,” return in two hours. Do not play any games during this time or you will miss the class. To pass the time, sleep two hours at the hospital. If you get there towards the end of the class, you might be able to skip the times without classes. Before following this schedule, make sure it is correct (for example, make sure cooking is 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. and not 6 a.m. to 8 a.m. , just in case).
TIMES – CLASS
6:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. – Cooking

The character that the Sims talk about, Pepper Pete, is from The Sims 2. He is a pirate that sometimes appears in the casino. Also, the saxophone player, Cannonball Coleman, is also from The Sims 2. He works at The Sax Lounge. When you get the lounge built, it will actually read “The sax lounge. A paradise Cannonball Coleman opened in the urban city of Minneapolis until closing in 2006.” Misty Waters, Luthor L. Bigbucks, Guissipi, and Dusty Hogg are also recurring characters.
The Sims Bustin’ Out easter egg:
After completing the game, you will get a time machine to steal Daddy Bigbucks’ flag. You can also return to November 2003, the date when The Sims Bustin’ Out was issued. If you travel there, you will appear on Uncle Hayseed’s farm. If you go to the door, you will find Uncle Hayseed himself. Also, go to the tractor to see yourself back when you needed to complete the “Tractor Troubles” challenge in “The Sims Bustin’ Out”.
