DON?T use it on ANY other sites, unless you ask me and I agree. If you have any: * corrections for this guide * other tips and cheats * other special food recipes * better way to live in the town square * other questions and answers that would be helpful for the FAQs section * comments on the guide then email me at melanie2275@hotmail.com and title the message ?Your Sims 2: Pets PS2 FAQ? so I don?t junk/delete it. ***** 2. Introduction [itouto] ***** Welcome to my guide! Do you need urgent money on The Sims 2: Pets for PS2? Maybe you want to find out how to get a puppy or kitten, or make a more exciting pet by unlocking new fur colours and fashion? Are you bored of the normal old food recipes? Maybe you want to live in the Town Square? Look no further ? you?ve come to the right place! This guide will tell you how to do all that and more, because I?ve collected helpful hints, cheats and tips for The Sims 2: Pets for PS2, and put them into one great guide! ***** 3. The Cheat Gnome (and how to use it =P) [tcgahtui] ***** The cheat gnome is a, well, gnome, that can get you instant cash, pet points, and more. First, you have to enter a code to bring up the gnome, then more codes to unlock cheats. Then, press X on your cheat gnome, select what you want, and BAM! That can make one rich, happy, Sim family. THESE WILL NOT WORK IN CLASSIC CONTROL MODE. Obviously, you?ll be wanting the codes to unlock this stuff. Here they are. Unlock the cheat gnome: When playing, make sure you are not near anything else (otherwise you might select something and ruin the code), and press these buttons together in a sequence: L1, L1, R1, X, X, UP Make sure you do it fast! There should be a strange noise. Go outside your house (front garden). There should be a strange gnome there. This is the cheat gnome! Enter this first, otherwise the following cheats won?t work. Get pet points: Make sure you are not near anything, once again. Then press: TRIANGLE, CIRCLE, X, SQUARE, L1, R1 Do it quickly. Did you hear the noise again? Click on your cheat gnome, hopefully it should say ?Give Sim Pet Points?. Select this. You should get 9,999 pet Points each time you do it! Advance 6 hours: Press: TRIANGLE, UP, LEFT, DOWN, RIGHT, R1 If you did it quickly enough, you should now be able to select ?Advance 6 Hours? on your gnome, as well as ?Give Sim Pet Points?. If you select ?Advance 6 Hours? time will go forward 6 hours, but your Sim?s mood will stay as it was 6 hours. Perfect if you?re in a good mood and you don?t want to get miserable again while you wait for your carpool to come pick you up and take you to work. Get simoleons: And now, for the one you?ve all been waiting for (I?m guessing)! Press: UP, LEFT, DOWN, RIGHT, CIRCLE If you did it quickly, hopefully you will now also be able to select ?Give Sim Simoleons? from your cheat gnome ? as many times as you like! (?Yes! Now I can finally get the Fitzroy Dreamers? Rock Pool at $8,500 without having to worry about being so skint I can?t get a decent meal!!!?) Town Square Upgrade: Press: RIGHT, DOWN, RIGHT, UP, RIGHT, DOWN, RIGHT, UP This SHOULD give you an option on the cheat gnome to fully upgrade all the shops in the Town Square. Have fun with you and your pet?s life-in-luxury! ***** 4. Pets: Cheats and Tips [pcat] ***** Don?t worry, I hear you. ?How the heck can you have cheats and tips for pets?!? Well, sometimes you may get a little bored of the boring old fur colours, patterns and fashions. Sometimes you can?t wait to unlock all the cool stuff. Well, if you want it all early, all you have to do is read on. First of all, you can make cats and dogs to look like other animals. I have only heard of foxes and wolves, and also arctic wolves. I?ve searched, but I can only find stuff like ?Make the body look like a wolf shape and then use the special fur colours!? for the wolves and arctic wolves. You might want to play around and see what you can come up with. However, I found a brilliant guide for making a look-alike fox ? I?ve even tried it myself. Here it is. When you are creating a family, choose the cat ? the breed doesn?t matter. Use the fur colour code to unlock the ?Deep Red? cat colour. (This code is found later on in this guide, so don?t worry.) Choose ?Head? then go to where you can change the shape of the snout. Find the longest snout available. Its face will now resemble a fox somewhat. Make sure the ears are as large as you can get them. Then, go back to the place where you can change its fur and colours. Change the ?Extra Fur? option to #2. Next,. go to ?Fur Markings? and choose the first one. Change that to the narrow strip on its chest. Make its colour pure white. Go to the second choice of fur markings and make its legs all black. Finally, choose the option that makes both of the ears covered in the back with the colour black. You now have a look-alike fox! Cool, isn?t it? Second, you might of noticed there is no mini daschund dog breed in the game. Well, when you are creating a family, press square to bring up the unlock code box. Enter this: B3A1312AABI7X1ARBMMF2RJH You should have a look-alike mini daschund! Thirdly, you?ll be wanting the deep red fur colour for the fox. And you might be wanting a neon green dog or maybe a dog with a star pattern. Here are all the codes for fur colours & patterns (enter the correct one ? for cats or dogs ? when making a cat or dog in the Create-A-Family menu to have that fur pattern or colour unlocked and able to use), and the collars (enter these when buying stuff for your pet in the salon or when you dress your pet when you first make it). Cat and Dog Collars: Black Dot Cats - code: EEGJ2YRZQQ1IQ9QHA64 Black Dot Dogs - code: EEGJ2YRQZZ1IQ9QHA64 Black Smiley Cats - code: EEGJ2YRQQZ1RQ9QHA64 Black Smiley Dogs - code: EEGJ2YRZQQARQ9QHA64 Blue Bones Cats - code: EEGJ2YRQZZARQ9QHA64 Blue Bones Dogs - code: EEGJ2YRZZZ1IZ9QHA64 Blue Camouflage Cats - code: EEGJ2YRZZQ1IQ9QHA64 Blue Camouflage Dogs - code: EEGJ2YRZZZ1RQ9QHA64 Blue Star Cats - code: EEGJ2YRQQZ1IZ9QHA64 Blue Star Dogs - code: EEGJ2YRQZQ1IQ9QHA64 Green Flower Cats - code: EEGJ2YRZQZAIQ9QHA64 Green Flower Dogs - code: EEGJ2YRQZZ1RQ9QHA64 Navy Hearts Cats - code: EEGJ2YRZQZ1IQ9QHA64 Navy Hearts Dogs - code: EEGJ2YRQQZ1IQ9QHA64 Orange Diagonal Cats - code: EEGJ2YRQQZAIQ9QHA64 Orange Diagonal Dogs - code: EEGJ2YRZQZ1IZ9QHA64 Pink Vertical Strip Cats - code: EEGJ2YRQQQARQ9QHA6 Pink Vertical Strip Dogs - code: EEGJ2YRZZZAIQ9QHA64 White Paws Cats - code: EEGJ2YRQQQ1RQ9QHA64 White Paws Dogs - code: EEGJ2YRZQQ1IZ9QHA64 White Zebra Stripe Cats - code: EEGJ2YRZZQ1IZ9QHA6 White Zebra Stripe Dogs - code: EEGJ2YRZZZ1IQ9QHA64 Pets Fur Colours: Blue Cats - code: EEGJ2YRQZZAIQ9QHA64 Blue Dogs - code: EEGJ2YRQQQ1IZ9QHA64 Deep Red Cats - code: EEGJ2YRQQQAIQ9QHA64 Deep Red Dogs - code: EEGJ2YRQZQ1RQ9QHA64 Goofy Cats - code: EEGJ2YRQZQ1IZ9QHA64 Goofy Dogs - code: EEGJ2YRZZZARQ9QHA64 Green Cats - code: EEGJ2YRZQQAIZ9QHA64 Green Dogs - code: EEGJ2YRQZQAIQ9QHA64 Light Green Cats - code: EEGJ2YRZZQ1RQ9QHA64 Light Green Dogs - code: EEGJ2YRZQQ1RQ9QHA64 Neon Green Cats - code: EEGJ2YRZZQAIQ9QHA64 Neon Green Dogs - code: EEGJ2YRZQQAIQ9QHA64 Neon Yellow Cats - code: EEGJ2YRZZQARQ9QHA64 Neon Yellow Dogs - code: EEGJ2YRQQQAIZ9QHA64 Pink Cats - code: EEGJ2YRQZZ1IZ9QHA64 Pink Dogs - code: EEGJ2YRZQZ1RQ9QHA64 Purple Cats - code: EEGJ2YRQQZARQ9QHA64 Purple Dogs - code: EEGJ2YRQQZAIZ9QHA64 Pets Fur Patterns: Bandit Mask Cats - code: EEGJ2YRQZZAIZ9QHA64 Bandit Mask Dogs - code: EEGJ2YRQZQARQ9QHA64 Panda Cats - code: EEGJ2YRQZQAIZ9QHA6 Star Cats - code: EEGJ2YRZQZARQ9QHA6 Star Dogs - code: EEGJ2YRZQZAIZ9QHA64 Zebra Stripes Dogs - code: EEGJ2YRZZQAIZ9QHA64 FINALLY, if you get abducted by aliens, you get a special pet treat. To get abducted by aliens, stargaze into a telescope for a LONG time. That?s about it. When you return, if you select ?Feed Pet Treat? when socialising with your dog/cat, you will see you can give them a treat called ?Alien?. This makes an area near their mouths glowing green for a while! (It doesn?t harm your pets in any way. It actually improves their mood.) Enjoy! ***** 5. Special Food Recipes [sfr] ***** Special food recipes are recipes that different effects on your Sims. Usually, something will steam off ?special recipes?. These are things that will steam off: Sparkles ? if your Sim eats a food that sparkles, it will improve their mood. Also, your Sim will have sparkles coming from their head a while after they?ve finished the food, and when the sparkles disappear, it shows the effect of the food (making your Sim happy) has worn off now. This is the same for all things that steam off. Pink Hearts ? pink hearts don?t seem to do anything, but I?ve noticed they seem to come off expensive foods, and foods that REALLY fill up your hunger and energy. They seem to keep the hunger bar up for longer. Black Hearts ? black heart foods seem to make your Sim annoyed, and the Sim might not do very well in Social, as they seem to get minus friendship points more that plus friendship points when they have black hearts from their head. That?s all they seem to do. Green Smoke ? sometimes, you will prepare/make a food, and green smoke will come off it. I think this is a glitch, as it has the same effect as sparkles, and sparkles will usually come from your head afterwards. However, if you have left a food for a long time, and green smoke starts to appear, don?t eat it. This is indicating the food has gone off, and will make your Sim throw up. This happens to ALL foods after a while, even sparkly/pink heart foods. Sounds interesting, right? Well, here?s a few recipes for you ? but I?m not going to tell you whether they make hearts, sparkles, or smoke! It?s more fun to have a guess, and see if you were right or not. For some recipes, you need the most expensive fridge, and for some, you need different fish tanks and fruit trees. Ostrich, Lobster, Shark, Dangleberry Prepare a barbeque on the counter, then go to the stove and make a barbeque. Pork, Chicken, Tofu, Beef There are two options for this: 1. Cook in the oven. 2. Put in the blender. Ostrich, Oat Flour, Cherry, Strawberry There are two options for this: 1. Go to the counter and make a cheeseless pizza. 2. Go to the food processor and make a sandwich. Ostrich, Strawberry, Celery, Out Flour Do whatever you like. Chicken, Beef, Tofu, Apple Do whatever you like. Milk, Egg, Beef, Apple Do whatever you like. Tofu, Salmon, Beef Do whatever you like. Juice, White Flour, Dangleberry, Corn Oil Cook this on the stove. Dangleberry, Apple, Orange, Chupa Chupa Go to the counter and make fruit. Eel, Dangleberry, Broth, Milk Go to the counter and prepare Roast With Fruit Sauce, then go to the stove and select Roast With Fruit Sauce. Squid, Eel, Plum, Soursoap Do whatever you like. Recipe For Combo Pizza (this is in the recipe book) Prepare on counter, then cook in oven. Recipe For Pizza (this is in the recipe book) Prepare on counter, then cook in oven. These recipes are NOT the only ones! Get out there and experiment, and see what you can come up with! ***** 6. Living In The Town Square [litts] ***** This isn?t actually living in the Town Square, this is staying there for as long as you like. You still have your lot where a house is usually built; you can?t get rid of it no matter what you do. Which is quite helpful, actually, because your house is the only place you can save your game, so at the town square, whenever you?re finished playing, go home to save. Also, if you go home to save or something, all the items you placed in the Town Square will go back in your inventory, so you will have to place them back in the Town Square next time you play. Here?s how to do it. Make your family, then pick a cheap lot and buy it, them enter it. Enter the cheat for the cheat gnome, the cheat for getting simoleons and the cheat for the pet points, and raise the cheat & pet points levels (these cheats are in section 3 of this guide). Then go to the object catalogue and purchase and place down these items; Garden Swing, Bed (any sort. I recommend a Belmont twin bed though) , Fridge (most expensive one recommended), Counter (any, but once again, expensive is better), Stove (you know the drill?), Hot Springs, and Trampoline. Now go to the Family Inventory, press square for grab mode, then select your items and put each one in the inventory by pressing square. Now go to the Town Square and purchase stuff for your pets ? bed, food bowl, scratch post, chew toy, etc. depending on if you have a cat and/or dog. Now go to your inventory and place the pet things wherever you like, and put the Garden Swings and Hot Springs in the middle of the Town Square. Place everything else towards the back EXCEPT your bed, stove, and fridge. When you need to sleep, get the bed out of your inventory and put it right in front of your Sim. Then go out of your inventory and get in the bed IMMEDIATELY, otherwise the police will take it away before you even get in it. Same when you use the stove and fridge ? do it IMMEDIATELY. Don?t bother putting these things back in your inventory, the police will do it for you when they fine you. (They use a weird laser-gun thing ? watch it, it?s cool!) Don?t worry about the fines ? they?re only $5 each and you still have the cheat gnome here ? it?s by the toilets at the front. Have fun in the Town Square! ***** 7. Other FAQs [ofaqs] ***** Want to know the answer to a Sims 2: Pets PS2 question? It may be here. If it isn?t, e-mail me. Q: I?m bored of the starting movie. Is there a different one? A: Yes! During the ?EA Games? logo, press X, CIRCLE, TRIANGLE quickly for a different movie! Q: Can you get Sim babies in this game? A: No. Q: Can you get puppies and kittens? A: Yes, but like in the real world, the parents have to be different genders. You need a dog house (even if your pet?s a cat) to breed. Both parents can be your own cats or dogs, or you could invite someone who owns a different-gendered pet over. Select your pet, then ?Try For Offspring With?? and choose the other pet. Hopefully, the pets will go into the dog house together, later they will come out, and a kitten or puppy (depending on whether you bred dogs or cats) will come down in a hot-air balloon. You can interact with it, and rename it. Q: My pet doesn?t seem to want to have a kitten/puppy. Is there something wrong with my game? A: No ? your pet is just not in a good mood. Check which motives are low, fill them, then try again. Q: Is there a limit to the amount of Sims and pets I can have in my family? A: Yes, you can only have 6 in total, with at least one Sim. Q: Can you get a two- or even three-storey house? A: Nope, you can only have 1 level. Q: Can you play multiplayer on this game? A: No, this is single-player only. Q: Can you control what your pets do? A: No. You can only control your Sims. Q: Do your Sims and pets age and die? A: No, they stay alive forever. (Weird.) ***** 8. Bye, have fun playing!
