On the. iphone/ipod touch
once in the game and you are controlling your sim go to options (the three dots in the bottom left corner) and go into help and about you go into gardening hints and each time you shake the ipod/iphone while in gardening tips you get 1,000 simoleons

you have to press them one at a time, holding onto control, keep holding control and press shift, hold on control and shift and press c. pressing all together takes pictures x

I press:
CTRL+Shift+Windows key+C
All at the same time….
and it only takes a photo screenshot of the game

Firda says
No.. What teh cheat means: you need to press ctr + shift together and then you still hold the ctr and shift button.. then you press C..
when you press C, you then write motherlode and then you got $50 000..
The cheat will work..

I am running Sims 3 on my kindle fire and there does not seem to be any way to enter cheat that I am aware of. Can anyone help me out?
Jossie says
All the previous advice on getting command screen instead of screenshot did not work for me. After reading the advice of using the left side buttons and it once again took picture I decided to try the right side keys and that worked.
