Talk:The Sims 2/cheats

Cheats
Is there a cheat i can use to make apartments on Sims 2 apartment life? if so, which one?

Here's some cheats I collected from various sites several years ago. I can't swear to how much of them will work with other peoples games, depending on patches and whatnot, but the ones that do are fun.

I'm just copying them over from the document I keep them in, so apologies for any formatting glitches.

 Press CTRL + SHIFT + C to access the cheat window, then enter the following: 

Debug Mode: Press Ctrl + Shift + C to open the Cheat menu then enter the following: BoolProp testingCheatsEnabled true. While in Create-a-Sim press Shift + N before creating your first Sim to enable skintones, clothes, and hairstyles that would normally be used only by NPCs. Press Shift + M to disable it. Bring up the Debug menu by pressing Shift + Left Click on a Sim while in Live mode

 ·   Testing cheats mode

While playing the game, press [Ctrl] + [Shift] + C to display the console window. Enter "boolProp TestingCheatsEnabled true" to activate testing cheats mode. This is a very powerful cheat that enables many new things. In Create A Sim, after enabling this code, go into debugmode by pressing [Shift] + N before making a Sim. You now have the following new things in Create A Sim: skin tones, clothing, and some other options such as viewing the skinfilenames. In the game itself, after enabling this code, hold [Shift] and left click on a Sim to have lots of options, such as changing clothes, make your Sim fat or thin, set their aspiration level, etc. This code also can spawn some interesting items, such as the tombstone of L(ife) and D(eath), and family members.

Enable the "boolProp testingCheatsEnabled true" code, then go onto a different family. A strange code will appear at the top right hand corner. If you go onto the Sims' needs, you can click on each one and drag it up or down, whichever desired. You can also increase the skill points of your Sims in the same way. This is useful if you want a promotion, if your Sim is depressed, if you are teaching a toddler to walk, etc. You can also hold [Shift] and click on a Sim. Click on "More", then "Spawn" and create the Tombstone of L and D. You can click on this, then "More" then "Make everyone here friends with me", which helps if you need friends to get promoted, or to complete an aspiration task.

·   Maximum skills

To fill your skills to the maximum level instantly, enable the "boolProp TestingCheatsEnabled true" code. Then, pause the game without going into build or buy, and select your skills icon. When you are in the tab with the skill meter click and drag the pointer over the desired skill bar to raise it.

Buy the particular goods that will help you for a promotion (for example, an exercise machine, or book shelf) and study the knowledge (for example, cleaning). When you get a skill point, delete the item that you bought (sell it before 24 hours have elapsed). You will a get full refund back from that object. If you sell after 24 hours, you will get less money. By doing this, you will gain your skill without losing your money.

First start a family or load one, and find an empty lot. Move the Sim on that lot. Enable the "motherlode" code a few times, just to the point where you can buy the expensive house. Exit the lot, but save the game. Then, evict (move out) the family. Notice that your family is displayed at the "Choose Family" window. You can now buy any house desired.

Knowledge may require you to get a job, but it probably will not be a power want. Popularity aspirations will keep you home making friends (unless they work); stay at home and take care of your Sim, their family, and their aspirations.

Boolprop forceboy/girl 0-100
I've recently discovered and trtied this cheat which apparently increases the percentage of the chosen gender for the baby of the pregnant Sim.


 * Examples


 * boolprop forceboy 100 - will increase the chances of the pregnant Sim having a boy baby at birth.
 * boolprop forcegirl 100 - will increase the chances of the pregnant Sim having a girl baby at birth.
 * boolprop forceboy 25 - will give the pregnant Sim roughly a 25% of producing a boy baby at birth.
 * boolprop forcegirl 25 - will give the pregnant Sim roughly a 25% of producing a girl baby at birth.

I don't know which version of the Sims 2, the cheat comes from, as I only discovered the cheat yesterday. ―  C.Syde  ( talk &#124;  contribs ) 20:16, December 28, 2015 (UTC)
