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 but/build mode.)

Control Clicks
If testingcheatsenabled true is on, using control + 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 select family screen before loading the family, enables control + click right below the box 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 more rapidly).

Control + Drag Clicks
With testingcheatsenabled true is activated, You can raise or lower your sim's current motive by using control + click on any motives and then drag your mouse to the left or right. This function can be also used to raise or lower relationship on any sims.

Control + Shift Clicks
In the World Adventures expansion pack, certain adventure items can be reconstructed on home lots when a specific number of fragments are gathered (many more adventure items can also be placed using the 'BuyDebug on' cheat.) After these items are placed, going into buy mode and shift+ctrl clicking them will allow a number of advanced scripting option used in adventures, such as linking triggers to enable them or any number of relic or treasure items they spawn, many normal Sims 3 items only have the "clone" option when clicked. You do not need testingCheatsEnabled on activated to use this command.
