- Help: Cheat console/cheat box won't appear
Contents |
To Use Cheats
First, bring up the cheat console by holding down the CTRL, SHIFT, and C keys on your keyboard at the same time.
This will bring a small dark blue box up at the top of your screen. This box is generally called the "cheat box" or the "cheat console." Type the cheat text in there and hit ENTER.
If you don't get the cheat box when you do CTRL, SHIFT, C, then see: Game Help:Cheat Box Won't Appear
Don't enter the brackets around the variables when you enter the cheat.
Example of entering a cheat:
Let's say you want to use the constrainfloorelevation cheat. You'll see that it's listed as:
- constrainFloorElevation [true/false]
The [ ] brackets mean that you pick one option - in this case true or false. So, to activate the cheat you would type:
- constrainFloorElevation false
Remember that you never type the [ ] brackets and only choose one option within them.
Build Cheats
Cheats that are helpful in building on lots. For specific tutorials on using these cheats to create your dream lot, see: Tutorials:Build Mode Tutorials.
|
|
|
|
Allows all terrain adjustments regardless of objects, Sims, and other structures on them. Walls, floors, and objects will move with the terrain, allowing you to create sloped walls and floored hills. However, placing new walls/floors will still flatten terrain, and placing objects will still require the terrain to be flat initially if the objects normally require it. Default is "true" - set to "false" to enable this behavior. | |
|
|
|
|
When on, objects will not snap to slots while holding ALT. Useful for placing objects such as chairs near tables without them snapping or placing counters near other counters, etc. | |
Movie/Picture Taking Cheats
Cheats that are helpful in taking pics and making movies.
|
|
|
|
Hides all Sim overhead effects such as thought balloons and speech balloons. | |
|
|
|
|
Puts the visuals of the game in slow motion. Entering a "level" value is optional. Valid values range from 0 = normal speed to 8 = slowest. | |
|
|
|
|
If Tab is pressed in live mode, the UI will disappear, allowing you to move around freely on the lot. Useful for taking pictures of insides of lots. | |
Mouse Cheats
When TestingCheatsEnabled is turned on, shift-clicking on things will give you additional interactions. All these cheats are activated by holding shift and clicking on something.
|
|
|
|
(Target: Ground) Shift-click on the ground to open a menu with the option "Teleport me here". This will teleport the active sim to that location.Comes in handy for getting around fast. | |
|
|
|
|
(Target: Mailbox) Fills all motives of all sims in the family to 100%. Does not affect visitors. Affects all family members, even if they are not currently at home. Useful for topping off motives for that all-night fishing session. | |
|
|
|
|
(Target: Mailbox) Increases relationships with all sims that the active sim knows, and adds a few new acquaintances as well. | |
|
|
|
|
(Target: Mailbox) Makes the active sim know all other sims in town. | |
|
|
|
|
(Target: Mailbox) Forces a random sim to come visit. | |
|
|
|
|
(Target: Mailbox) Freezes motives for all sims in the family. Like 'Make All Happy', this does not affect visitors but does affects family members even if they are not at home. Also freezes the workout timer, so this is great for leaving a sim on the treadmill until they reach level 10 in Athletics. Be aware, this also freezes moodlets, so if your sim Hates The Outdoors and has a negative moodlet because she's Beset By Nature, it won't go away if she goes outside. This also means that her wish to Go Inside will not be fulfilled while Make Needs Static is turned on. | |
|
|
|
|
(Target: Mailbox) Opens a menu showing all careers. Choose one, and the active sim will join that career. | |
|
|
|
|
(Target: Mailbox) Opens a menu showing all the NPCs that can come visit, such as a Babysitter and Repairman. Also includes the special ones like the Grim Reaper and Social Worker Child Protection. | |
|
|
|
|
(Target: Active Sim) Works like the Midlife Crisis award: you can edit all 5 traits of your sim. | |
|
|
|
|
(Target: Active Sim) Causes your sim to age up immediately. (Elder sims will die.) Note: Although this menu appears when you click on any sim, it only works on the active sim. It does nothing to other sims. | |
|
|
|
|
(Target: Any Sim not in Family) Immediately adds targeted sim to the family. Does not bring in money like moving or marriage does. Has no effect if the current family is already full. | |
Miscellaneous Cheats
Cheats that don't fit into any other category, or would be appropriate in multiple categories.
|
|
|
|
Toggles whether objects fade when the camera gets close to them. Does not apply to Sims. | |
|
|
|
|
Turns the frame rate display in the upper right corner or or off. | |
|
|
|
|
Ignores the cost when buying a lot for the current game. | |
|
|
|
|
Typing "help" by itself lists all currently available cheats and a short description of each. Entering a cheat name after "help" displays just that cheat and its short description. (It does not give you more information than the overall list.) | |
|
|
|
|
Adds 1,000 to active household's funds | |
|
|
|
|
Adds 50,00 simoleons to the household. Must be in live sims mode to use - does not work in neighborhood view. | |
|
|
|
|
Removes footprint limitation for all object placement in Buy Mode and Build Mode. Removes limitations placed on hand tool for when objects are in use or for objects that normally are not movable. Is known to cause issues with game elements, routing, hidden object generation and manipulation, etc. Note that using this cheat allows you to move and delete objects that normally cannot be manipulated such as Sims. If you delete these objects, there is no way to get them back, so be careful! | |
|
|
|
|
Exits the game. | |
|
|
|
|
In the rare case that a Sim gets "stuck" in an interaction or somewhere around town or gets something stuck to it, use this cheat. It may take a while for the Sim to appear because it is being entirely rebuilt. Usage example: resetSim Mortimer Goth | |
|
|
|
|
Gives 2,500 Lifetime Happiness Points to active Sim. | |
|
|
|
|
Includes career outfits and service Sim outfits as options in Create a Sim. The cheat must be entered before going into CAS. | |
|
|
|
|
