If I used boolprop on TS2, and the error showed up on TS2, would it show up on Seasons? I really need to know.—Preceding unsigned comment added by DavidMC123 (talk • contribs) (UTC) - Please sign your comments with ~~~~

For The Sims Medieval, there is a special .ini file for the "advanced cheats" located in "(your install dir)\The Sims Medieval\GameData\Shared\NonPackaged\Ini\", The .ini file is called (or supposed to be called) "Commands.ini" and contains an explaination and the switch for the Testingcheatsenabled, but the file is read only, so you have to flip that to change it.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.19.244.217 (talk • contribs) (UTC) - Please sign your comments with ~~~~

Capital letters required?

Gosh I play The Sims for years but still I have to ask this question, is this cheat really case sensitive or not? I always use the cheat in both The Sims 2 en The Sims 3 without capital letters, but still many websites claim that you need to type it with capital letters. Could someone explain me if this is true, or if there are more risks for not doing it or so? Tiezel ^(talk) curious? 15:20, May 15, 2013 (UTC)

Nope, no cheats are known to be case-sensitive (maybe except TS1 for console, but I don't remember). Because cheats don't have spaces between word, it might be a little difficult to read them, especially when they're listed like in guides or wiki like this. That's why they're written here with capital letters so you can read each word more easily, like testingCheatsEnabled or restrictBuildBuyInBuildings. So to answer your question... no, cheats are not case-sensitive. Some users tell you to type it with capital letters just to make sure, but it has no difference.

Shouldn't this be mentioned in the article? Tiezel ^(talk) curious? 16:19, May 15, 2013 (UTC)

I thought this is a common knowledge though. I don't know, but if you think it's necessary, I've put it on the page. Nikel _{Talk – Vote!} 16:29, May 15, 2013 (UTC)

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.C.Syde65 (talk) 05:32, January 11, 2014 (UTC)

The breadfruit tree also suffers this glitch, this time without cheats. If it catches on fire, it will just keep burning and displaying the "Burning Animation". This mod sortof fixes that.

That tree is a laughable tree. Nikel _{Talk – Vote!} 14:15, January 11, 2014 (UTC)

NPC and townie maker

You know...I think that there should be a page on the NPC and townie maker, like there is on the Sim Modder. C.Syde65 (talk) 09:09, January 21, 2014 (UTC)

I wouldn't really disagree. However, I've heard the NPC and Townie maker is broken since Apartment Life. K6ka (talk | contrib) 17:36, January 24, 2014 (UTC)

Someone could make it, as long as the content is considerably enough. I think the NPC and Townie Maker has been broken long before Apartment Life. There have been many versions of the fixes, and I can't remember which one actually fixes the object. Nikel _{Talk – Vote!} 14:32, January 28, 2014 (UTC)

Cyjon made a mod that partially fixes the NPC maker. However, he recommends the townie brick or Inge's teleporter instead. K6ka (talk | contribs) 16:08, January 28, 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.

By the way, is the option to turn a Sim into a tourist requires a fix too or not? I recall I've once successfully turned some Sims into some tourist families. Nikel _{Talk – Vote!} 07:35, January 30, 2014 (UTC)
