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 for many reasons, including story making, glitch fixing, just for fun or to make a tricky situation easier. There are cheats in ''[[The Sims]]'', ''[[The Sims 2]]'' and ''[[The Sims 3]]''.
 
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 ==
In Windows and Mac OS X, cheats are also mentioned in the readme (The Sims 2, The Sims Stories and The Sims 3).
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.
In every game so far, the Command Prompt is open by using '''CTRL + SHIFT + C'''.
 
=== Cheat ModeShortcuts ===
*CTRL + SHIFT+ {{Key|ctrl|shift|C}} (Windows) or CMD + SHIFT +  {{Key|cmd|shift|C}}(Mac), and typethen the cheat and, then press Enter{{key|-enter}} or Return{{key|return}}{{vgversion|TS}}{{vgversion|TS2}}{{vgversion|TSS}}{{vgversion|TS3}}{{vgversion|TSM}}▼
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 '''"!"''' will repeat the cheat indefinitely until the player either closes the cheat box or removes the colon.
