In video games, a '''cheat''' is a feature added by the game developers and hidden from normal gameplay that changes the game mechanics. In ''The Sims'' series, cheats are typically activated through entering codes into a text window, which can be opened through a unique key combination (usually {{Key|ctrl|shift|C}}). Cheats may also be in the form of game glitches or bugs, which are purposefully exploited to bring about some benefit not originally intended by the game developers.


Cheats are used mainly to aid in game play by eliminating certain challenges or obstacles. Cheats can also be activated to aid in story telling, to fix bugs or glitches in the game, or just for the enjoyment of the player. The term "cheat" applies to every use of these hidden codes or features, regardless of whether the cheats give the player an unearned advantage. Thus a player can use cheats without "cheating" the game, though this depends on which cheats are used and how.
'''Cheats''' are used for many reasons, story making, glitch fixing, just for fun or to make a tricky situation easier. There are cheats in both [[The Sims]] and [[The Sims 2]].


== Cheat Mode ==
== Cheat Console ==
To get into to cheat mode press '''CTRL + SHIFT + C''' during game play. Once you are in cheat mode, simply type in the cheat and hit enter. Do this every time you want to use one of the cheats. Cheats can be repeated by typing the expression '''":;"''' after the code. Ending the code with '''":"''' and will continue indefinitely until the player either closes the cheat box or removes the colon.
The '''cheat console''' is a text box that can be used to enter cheats, and to activate or deactivate cheats. The cheat console is opened during game play by holding down {{Key|ctrl}} and {{key|shift}} and pressing {{key|C}}. The cheat can then be typed into the box and activated by pressing {{key|-enter}}. Cheats can be repeated by adding {{key|semicolon}}{{key|!}} after the code. Ending the code with {{key|!}} will repeat the cheat indefinitely until the player either closes the cheat box or removes the semicolon.


Some versions of Windows may have {{Key|ctrl|shift|C}} set to another program or function, in which case {{Key|ctrl|shift|win|C}} may need to be used to open the cheat console instead.

*'''boolProp snapObjectsToGrid true/false''': objects are not fixed to grid. Useful for decorative purposes, can sometimes lead to strange animations that don't line up with the object in question, but thats about it.
*'''boolprop constrainFloorElevation true/false''': Allows player to raise the floor even if there are objects or a second floor above the area. This cheat is very useful for building custom lots.
*'''deleteAllCharacters''': Deletes everyone in the current neigborhood and all of the [[Sub-neighborhood|sub-neighborhoods]].
*'''boolprop testingcheatsenabled true''': Arguably the most useful and controversial cheat. It can be very rewarding but also can easily be mis-used. In order to use it shift-click on a sim. If you type it in the neighborhood window, go to Create-A-Sim, and press shift-N at the same time, the CAS will be in debugging mode. You will be able to make your Sims have NPC clothes and hairstyles. You can even make their body invisible, or give them a skeleton body!


Unlike preceding games of ''The Sims'' console games as well as [[The Sims 3]], cheats will now cause a penalty as it disables Challenges and Trophies (PS3) or achievements (Xbox 360). If the player is about to use cheats, the game will warn them by displaying a message as seen below.

In The Sims series, cheats are typically activated through entering codes into a text window, which can be opened through a unique key combination (usually ^ Ctrl+⇧ Shift+C).
