List of build cheats

The Sims 2

 * moveObjects 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. This is known to cause issues with game elements, routing, hidden object generation and manipulation, etc. Note that using this cheat allows you to delete objects that normally cannot be deleted, such as Sims, the mailbox, and the garbage can. While Sims will reappear by the mailbox when the lot is reloaded, getting the mailbox and/or garbage can back will require using custom content.


 * boolProp snapObjectsToGrid false with true being default
 * when false, all objects can be placed everywhere. This does not include objects on tables or walls.


 * boolProp constrainFloorElevation true/false with true being default
 * When false, terrain can be changed even when objects are on it.

NOTE: these cheats are not case-sensitive. boolProp can also be written as boolprop.
