And have them study cooking. Then, a couple points later, you get 
them the stove AND a fire alarm (you put this one right above the 
stove, or any thing fire - sorry, forgot the name for the living 
room fire, only thing I can remember is "mantelpiece"... ) - in case 
the worst happens (and it shouldn't, now you know how to cook...) 
the firemen will be there in no time.

quite useful... But I'm a back up nut...)

I have also put in a wall at the edge of my property and put the 
burgler alarm on it and the police come and get him before he gets 
to the house. I also put a table by the mail box to save time 
getting the mail and the paper. My sims can do it as soon as they 
get home from work without having to do a lot of walking.

Definitely get the bookcase and build their skills. They stay 
happier and healthier that way and you have a lot less problems. I 
have played the game straight and with cheats and it is fun both 
ways. (It's great starting out with mega millions of Simoleons!!!!)

Try this for some walkthrough information and cheat codes.
