    How to unlock Daruis' Penthouse

    All you have to do is get rid of all the villains then go to the subway (way of getting around) and go to the bottom and Darius' penthouse should be there. It's huge and you can get a pet monkey and it looks really good if you do it up.

    Genie Bottle

    Invite over Crystal, and if she likes your place, she'll give you a genie bottle. Keep it in your pocket and whenever you need, go to your packets and press on it, it will poof you to your geenie bottle wherever you are. The only problem is that you cannot put anything inside, all you can do is sleep and use the bathroom. But it's great for when you're about to wet your pants or fall asleep on the ground!

    Get out of Jail Free!

    If you get thrown in jail and can't get out, here's a trick to get out free: Don't eat any food. Eventually, your hunger level will drop, and you will pass out. The guards will take you to the hospital, at which time you can go free!

    Running from the Law

    the University

    In mission 4 when you need to find someone to take the letter to Paradise Island, the boy in the University who is always asleep is the person who will take it for you.

    Change clothing

    Don't like the clothes you picked out for your sim? No problem! Just go to the first store in the game(the neighborhood with the jail) and go over in the back where there's a huge rack of clothes. Just press the a button when you get close to it and it goes back to the screen in the beginning when you designed the clothes!

    Get a Chopper

    In mission 3 (Daddy BigBucks and the Xizzle Factory), you must earn creativity 5. For this, go to the university between 10am and 1pm. Keep atending class. Next, you must get Ewan to 50%. I found this hard, so I wrote it down. He likes: Costruction, Cooking, Museums, Health, Exercise, Cars, art, Books, and sports. He also likes the usual compliment, cheer up, ect. Then, go to the place where the dirt bike track is. Talk to Dusty Hogg. Between 6 and 7pm, he will want you to race him. Have at least 20 seconds of boost and the second engine. Ounce you beet him, he will give you his chopper.
