It allows the player to perform interactions that are normally unavailable through normal means, interactions that are normally hidden under certain conditions (e.g. The "Hug" interaction being unavailable on a Sim that has a poor relationship with the initiator), or interactions that can only be done as autonomous reactions. Some examples of the cheat in action are shown in the picture above.
All these interactions will be available in the pie menus when clicking corresponding objects. Additionally, all Sim-to-Sim interactions are available as well regardless of relationship. This cheat is veryuseful for storytelling purposes.
All interactions will be available in the pie menu when clicking on their respective objects, and all means of transport (e.g. Run Here, Skip Here) will be available when clicking on the ground.

Follow the instructions to activate the cheat:
Follow the instructions below to activate the cheat:
<li>Browse ''C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\'''LATEST EP'''\TSData\Res\Config'', or the directory where you install your game. To see which [[expansion pack]] or [[stuff pack]] you have the latest, see [[Game guide:Which disc is used to start?]]</li>
<li>Open '''GlobalProps.xml''' file in NotePad. ''Backup it first!''</li>
<li>[[File:GlobalProps Allmenus.png|thumb|right|200px]] Insert the following code
#Navigate to ''C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\'''LATEST EP'''\TSData\Res\Config'', or the directory where you installed your game. To see the latest [[expansion pack]]/[[stuff pack]] you have installed, see [[Game guide:Which disc is used to start?]]
#Open the '''GlobalProps.xml''' file in NotePad, EditPad Lite, or your favorite raw text editor. ''Back up the file first by making a copy of it on your Desktop!''
With the cheat enabled, there are also other cheats that you can use to expand storytelling cheat abilities.
#[[File:GlobalProps Allmenus.png|thumb|right|200px]] Insert <code><nowiki><AnyBoolean key="testingCheatsEnabled" type="0xcba908e1">true</AnyBoolean></nowiki></code> between the lines with <code>"allowCustomContent"</code> and <code>"animationLOD"</code>. Refer to the image on the right ([http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/sims/images/5/5a/GlobalProps_Allmenus.png/revision/latest view full sized image])
*'''Money [amount | +amount | -amount]''' - Adds or subtracts amount of money to the current household. Fairly simpler than familyFunds cheat.
*'''DebugSocial [on/off]''' - Enables an option card to show up to determine the outcome of a Sim-to-Sim interactions.
#You're done! '''Please note that [[testing cheats]] will be enabled by default every time you start up the game.''' You can disable it in-game by typing <code><nowiki>boolProp testingchestsenabled false</nowiki></code> into the cheat console.
#The cheat is "off" by default. To turn it on, press {{Key|Ctrl}}+{{Key|Shift}}+{{Key|C}}, and then type in '''allMenus on'''. To turn it off, type '''allMenus off'''.
The outcome when choosing "Decline" for Leap into Arms interaction.
*'''Money [amount | +amount | -amount]''' - Allows you to either directly specify the exact amount of money you want the currently played household to have, or specify an integer value to add or subtract the desired number of funds. It is easier to use than the ''familyFunds'' cheat in that a household name does not need to be specified; however, this cheat will not work in the neighborhood view.
** Examples:
*** <code>Money 500</code> - Changes the amount of money the household has to §500.
*** <code>Money +500</code> - Adds §500 to the total number of funds.
*** <code>Money -500</code> - Deducts §500 from the total number of funds.
*'''DebugSocial [on/off]''' - If this cheat is enabled, the player will be prompted for the outcome of social interactions. For example, if a Sim initiates the "Hug" interaction on another Sim, the player will be asked whether or not the interaction should succeed or fail. If the player chooses "Accept", the interaction will be successful regardless of the Sims' moods and relationships, and if the player chooses "Decline", the interaction will always fail.
