 * moveObjects</tt> on/off
 * 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 are normally non-movable objects. Note that using this cheat allows you to delete objects that normally cannot be deleted, such as Sims, the mailbox, and the garbage can. If you delete these objects, there is no way to get them back, so be careful! (Also, on a more trivial note, if you use moveObjects on a sim with the "good" trait, they will have a halo appear around their head when you exit buy/build mode.) You can use this to delete gravestones in the cemetary.


 * placeFriezes</tt> on/off
 * Allows use of foundations on top of tiled floors.


 * RBBB</tt> on/off or RestrictBuildBuyInBuildings</tt> true/false
 * All properties with a mark of public spaces (Normally, lobbies and entrance halls) to the construction and purchase mode to edit. With RBBB</tt> off or RestrictBuildBuyInBuildings</tt> false you can disable this option again.

Gameplay cheats

 * resetSim</tt> [FIRSTNAME LASTNAME]
 * Resets the Sim with neutral motives, no moodlets, and teleports Sim back home. Useful if they got stuck. Very useful if they just died and have not disappeared yet, like a Sim dies at the corner and sits there for weeks without the Grim Reaper coming to pick them up, and it makes it so they haven't died.

 * Exits the game.


 * kaching </tt>
 * Adds §1,000 to active household.

 * Adds §50,000 to active household.
