- 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. | |
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. | |
|
|
|
|
This isn't an actual cheat code. If you have TestingCheatsEnabled turned on and if you hold the Shift key and left click your mouse button anywhere, you will get a Teleport option instead of the Go Here option. Comes in handy for getting around fast. | |
|
|
|
|
Includes career outfits and service Sim outfits as options in Create a Sim. The cheat must be entered before going into CAS. | |
|
|
|
|
Recalls the last cheat typed into the cheat window (per game instance). | |
