[[File:CheatsButton.jpg|right]]
''A [[Talk:Discussions|discussion]] of the layout for this page has started.''
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.

== Cheat Console ==
'''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]].
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.
== Cheat Mode ==
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.

|Pretty self explanatory. Sims wont age, with exception to university. Also listed in The Sims 2 manual.
|-
|moveobjects on/off
|Similar to the sims 1 cheat, but cant be used to restore needs. Useful for deleting glitched items, NPCs and creating cool effects.

|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 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! This cheat also allows you to drag the skills, interests, and personality bars.

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 ^ 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.

Cheat Console[edit | edit source]

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 ^ Ctrl and ⇧ Shift and pressing C. The cheat can then be typed into the box and activated by pressing ↵ Enter. Cheats can be repeated by adding ;! after the code. Ending the code with ! will repeat the cheat indefinitely until the player either closes the cheat box or removes the semicolon.

Some versions of Windows may have ^ Ctrl+⇧ Shift+C set to another program or function, in which case ^ Ctrl+⇧ Shift+⊞ Win+C may need to be used to open the cheat console instead.
