==Fire Glitch==
 
I set one of my Sim's objects on fire. I was randomly messing around forcing errors on the fire, until I ended up deleting the object the fire was burning upon. Now there is a fire burning on itself but it seems to be completely harmless. Buy and Build mode are enabled and the Sims are acting as if the fire isn't there. -- '''[[User:C.Syde65|<font color="maroon">C.Syde65Syde</font>]]''' ([[User talk:C.Syde65|<font color="black">talk</font>]] &#124; [[:Special:Contributions/C.Syde65|<font color="black">contribs</font>]]) 05:32, January 11, 2014 (UTC)

::::I was certain I've used either of Cyjon or Argon's mod, but I don't have them anymore in my Downloads folder. I guess I tossed it into recycle bin as soon as I didn't need them anymore at that time. I have Inge's teleporter, but I think it still has limitations. I think it has no options to turn a Sim into one of the social class townies, hobby instructors, or locals? I don't remember.

==Rename to Testing cheats==
I'm proposing that we rename this page to "Testing cheats." The name of the cheat seems to change in each game. For instance, in ''The Sims 4'', the cheat is activated simply by typing "testingcheats on" versus, for example, "boolprop testingcheatsenabled true" for ''The Sims 2''. Giving it a generic name like "testing cheats" will make it easier to write the article without focusing particularly on any game over the other. -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<font color="navy">LostInRiverview</font>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">talk</font>]] ~ [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">blog</font>]]</sup>''' 05:52, October 23, 2014 (UTC)

::::One thing. Are we going to keep it under plural or singular term? Although "testing cheats" is accurate since the cheat actually enables even more command cheats, remember that it's the same as [[bill]]s but we renamed it to singular "bill" anyway.

:::::Hmmm.... that's a good point. In the case of bill/bills, the reason for the rename was because bills can exist in a singular form (i.e., you can have a singular bill, or multiple bills). I think in this case, the proper name for the cheat would actually be "testing cheat." The focus of the article is on only that specific cheat, not on any of the cheats that it enables. If you were also discussing the cheats enabled by this one, then the whole article could be called "testing cheats," since the article would describe more than one cheat. And while the article describes a cheat with multiple names/codes in different games, the cheat itself can be treated as one entity that has been modified between each game, in the same way that "Bella Goth" is "Bella Bachelor" in ''The Sims 3''. -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<font color="navy">LostInRiverview</font>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">talk</font>]] ~ [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">blog</font>]]</sup>''' 16:48, October 23, 2014 (UTC)

:::::::I'm more inclined to say that it should be "Testing cheats" since the code itself has always been referred to in the plural ingame, in addition, I suppose the article describes multiple cheats across multiple games?

Some Sims 2 players refer to it as "the testing cheats", so ''Testing cheats'' wouldn't be an issue. --I am [[User:K6ka|'''<span style="color:#0040FF">k6ka</span>''']] [[User talk:K6ka|<span style="color:#0080FF"><sup>Talk to me!</sup></span>]] [[Special:Contributions/K6ka|<span style="color:#0B4C5F"><sub>See what I have done</sub></span>]] 13:59, November 3, 2014 (UTC)
===Vote===
The quickest and easiest way to do this is probably to set it to a vote.
<s>;Question - Should the name of this article be changed, and if so, what should it be changed to?
*''Option 1: Yes, change to "Testing cheat"''
*''Option 2: Yes, change to "Testing cheats"''
*''Option 3: Yes, change to another name not already stated''
*''Option 4: No, do not change the name''
 
At the end of the five-day countdown, if an option has a majority of the vote, it will be selected. If no option has a majority, the top two options will be voted on in an additional five-day voting period. If option 3 is selected, voting will stop while other names are discussed.

Given the votes so far for option 2, it seems incredibly unlikely that any other option will attain a majority.

== Unclear ==
 
The information on this page doesn't seem to be totally accurate. There's no separation between how the cheat affects the game in The Sims 2 and The Sims 3, for one thing. Why hasn't anyone noticed this?
