Cheats for the Sims on Windows Phone 7

Apart from performance issues, there are a few other things that influence the speed of your Sims.

• Sims move slower when they are tired.
• Less active Sims move slower.
• Old Sims move slower than younger Sims.

You can get Sims to run, although I don't think that works with staircases.

The Sims series has never had all actions take a realistic amount of time. If everything was based on real life timing, then Sims would walk so fast it would look silly, or the current 60:1 Sim/RL time ratio would have to be lowered, and then some other actions would seem terribly slow in comparison.

Although The Sims aims to simulate real life (to a degree), sometimes it deviates from realism in order for a "better" playing experience.

As far as I am aware, there is no way to get Sims to move at a speed that is comparable to the speed at which we move in real life.

The Sims 3 is notorious for high CPU and resource usage, especially when you get multiple households and things going. Try opening up the task manage (ctrl+shift+esc) while playing and take a look at the CPU and Memory percentages. If they are pegged at 100% or close to it, that may be the problem.

The game does try to "optimize" by instead of the entire game chugging, only certain processes of it do, like sim behavior and the background world simulation (which is why everyone is tired). Something to try is lower the various settings, or removing households you don't really care about so the background simulation doesn't have to work as hard(backup your save in case this doesn't work!).
