Gives you three options. 1. Buy a lot, 2. Build on a lot, 3. Seasons - To change the weather, the season, the wind, and tree movement.

Build cheats

 * constrainFloorElevation</tt> true/false
 * Allows terrain adjustment regardless of objects/Sims/etc. on them.


 * disableSnappingToSlotsOnAlt</tt> on/off
 * When on, objects will not snap to slots while holding ALT</tt>.


 * 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. Allows for the intersection of objects and off center placement. Note that using this cheat allows you to delete objects that normally cannot be deleted, such as Sims, the mailbox, and the garbage can. Be careful when deleting these objects, because they are normally not retrievable once deleted. When Sims are accidentally deleted with this cheat, the only way to retrieve them back is to go into Edit Town mode, split the deleted Sim from the household, and merge him/her back.

 * Allows use of foundations on top of tiled floors.

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.

Advanced cheats

 * <tt>testingCheatsEnabled</tt> true/false


 * Enables the cheats below and the ability to shift-click Sims to add them to the current family, remove moodlets by <tt>CTRL</tt>-clicking them, edit their traits, age them up or edit them in CAS. Also allows the current household's mailbox to be shift-clicked for more debug cheats, such as "Make everyone know me". With this cheat it's also possible to drag relationship levels and needs up and down, which is a quick way to make your Sim die of starvation or become enemies with another Sim. In the "Ambitions" expansion, this cheat also lets you slide the Job Performance bar up or down, allowing you to get a Sim to the top of their Profession in a few seconds.


 * Note: to use the cheats below, <tt>testingCheatsEnabled</tt> must be on (activated).


 * <tt>ageuptonpc</tt>
 * Makes a toddler who grows up to child become an NPC (non-controllable) in the household.


 * <tt>familyfunds</tt> [HOUSEHOLD] [AMOUNT]
 * Sets the amount of Simoleons of the family to [AMOUNT]. For example, 'familyfunds Landgraab 10000' sets the family funds of the Landgraab household to 10,000 Simoleons, even if they originally had 50,000 simoleons.
 * Note:If a space is used in a household's name (such as De Luca), the name must be surrounded by quotation marks. The cheat for the De Luca family would look like this: familyfunds "De Luca" 50000


 * <tt>maptags</tt> on/off
 * Toggles map tags on or off. Must have testingCheatsEnabled on. (This cheat is no longer needed in map view after update 1.7 because there is a "none" option in map view after the update is installed, but is still useful in live mode for taking screenshots.)

Control-clicks
If testingcheatsenabled true is on, using <tt>CTRL</tt> + click on any moodlet in the moodlet panel will eliminate it. If it is motive induced, the bar related to the negative moodlet will be filled completely, just like when it is subject to a "Cure" by the Moodlet Manager.

Entering testingcheatsenabled true on the load/new game screen, enables <tt>CTRL</tt> + click between the chest and the points in the lifetime happiness to add additional lifetime happiness of 500. (Note: The click works for all the mouse buttons, clicking all of them rapidly at the same time will make the lifetime happiness points increase faster.)

Drag-clicks
When testingcheatsenabled true is activated, you can raise or lower your Sim's current motive by clicking on any motive and then dragging your mouse to the left or right. This function can be also used to raise or lower relationship on any Sims. You can also adjust your Sim's progress in any profession if Ambitions is installed. However you will only see the motives change if you are in an unpaused game. When paused you can still do this action, but it'll take effect only after you resumed the game.
