    I have iPhone 3gs (until tomorrow) did the update and I go into my game, menu, help, gardening and shake and NOTHING. It sounds so simple, what am I missing, it’s not working.

    I did it the first time and it worked great! I tires it a second time and nothing

  7. Alica Reply

    @Antonio- I learned you have to wait a few seconds before you start shaking it again. But it def. works. Thank youuuuuuu so much.

    (I’m playing it on my ipod touch 32gb)

    I believe on the newest version of Sims 3 Ambitions this cheat no longer works. I bought the game on 10/26 and it doesn’t work for me.

  29. Courtney B Reply

    this cheat doesn’t work for me and I have an iphone 4. is it because I just bought it?

  30. rikki Reply

    so it doesn’t work on ambitions for the iphone4

  31. Jindi Reply

    Does anyone know any cheats for Ambitions? I have a 3g the cheats worked for the sims 3!

  32. briann Reply

    I have te iPhone 4 and I just bought the sims3 app. I tried it the first time and it didn’t work but then I realized I tried it on the menu before I went into my saved game. so make sure you are actually playing ur game while doing this money cheat and while playing go to the three dots and then go to help&about then go to gardening tips and shake away. it let me just keep shaking all the way up into thousands of dollars! I finally stopped at ten thousand!!

  33. Cuttie Reply

    This was great! I understood the cheat and how to do it right! Thanks now my sim is rich $$$$$$! Great cheat code and very easy to do!

  68. Aaron Reply

    Found the secret of making this work.. First time I tried it, nothing.. Wouldn’t work at all… But I was playing for a while and was on the town map

    Anyway, then I loaded my char again from the main menu and went immediately into help / gardening and it worked like a charm. You have to shake the iphone vertically pretty hard (as if you’re trying to smash your sim against the floor and ceiling)

  94. Angela Reply

    K so that link dudeman left leads to a YouTube video that shows you how to do it. If you can’t watch it I’ll tell you how here.
    1-load your game. When your at your house go into build mode.
    2-select build a room.
    3-creat a huge room that attaches to your house!( need it to be attached in order to work).
    4- exit your game once your done building your room.
    5-your game automatically saves itself, load your game and you’ll see the room is still there!
    6-select build mode.
    7-click demolish.
    8-demolish the room and you get money!
    9- repeat steps 1-8 until desired amount. Remember not to save the game after you build the room! But do after you get your money lol.

    For the Sims 3 World Adventures on iphone/ipod touch the only cheat i have found is to fish and grow things in your garden. after the stock is all filled up you can sell it at the market. usually one fish trip for me is about $300. only thing i found! hope i helped (: (:!!

    You have to upgrade the sims 3 for iphone/ipod/ipad that way you can use the cheat and the graphics will be better.

    On the iPod game, go to “Help and About” touch gardening tips and shake your iPod/iPhone to get about 500 simoleans each shake 🙂

  109. anne Reply

    I have found a couple cheats my self for sims 3 ambitions,but you would have to have already have mastered at least one career.

    The first one is: you need to quit your job and then get rehired, you will get 5000 simoleons and your added salary.

    The second one you need to have mastered two careers: you go to the recruitment agency apply for one of the jobs you mastered then when it asks you if you want to take the job decline. It will pay you the amount of salary you already earn from your current job.

    Any questions or comments just email me at: aoliveros000@gmail.com

    The sims iphone cheat does work even if your phone is old or new. Play game as usual and then go to options (three dots in a bubble …) go on to help and about or as some of you say its not there just look through all options until you see gardening tips and click onit then shake device in any way and cash will grow!! The sims ambitions cheat is easy. Get a job as whatever you want and before you start work go to town map and pause game. Click on your work on map and go to work still in pause mode, then go to menu where all your sims friends and info is and click go to work then do it again so you will have x3 go to work. unpause game and go qork. After you will get paid 3 times your pay!! Im a muscian and top pay is 1000 so i get 3000 every day and i only do half day hours! Try it and hope it helps 🙂 iphone only
