[[Video:New Sims 2 Cheat|thumb|right|300px|An example of this cheat in action in The Sims 2]]
 
'''boolProp testingCheatsEnabled true''' and '''testingCheatsEnabled''' are by far the most powerful cheats in ''The Sims 2'' and ''The Sims 3''. Though testingCheatsEnabled is not nearly as powerful as boolProp testingCheatsEnabled, it is still the most powerful in the game. Both are debugging cheats, and even though very useful, they can have negative consequences.
 
This cheat is often erroneously called "boolProp", which means "Boolean property" or "true/false". In ''The Sims 2'', there are several cheats that start with "boolProp".
Line 12:
== Use and abilities ==
 
To use it, after entering the code followed by "true", then press the Shift key while simultaneously clicking on a [[Sim]] or the mailbox. A menu will pop up giving the player options. There are many actions possible with this cheat, including making Sims [[grow up]], changing a Sim's [[aspiration]] or [[trait]]s, moving and deleting objects that weren't movable or deletable previously (although this can also be achieved using the [[Moveobjects|moveObjects]] cheat), spawning cheat objects,{{Vgversion|TS2}} and making Sims selectable or non-selectable. To turn the cheat off type the prompt in the cheat window with the word "false" after it.
 
With this cheat enabled, it is possible to drag the needs bar levels up and down.
Line 24:
Many times this cheat will cause family members to disappear. A pop-up will appear on the screen, saying there is an error with [error code], and give three choices. No matter what is chosen, the Sim that was selected or interacted with disappears from the game. Rather than exiting without saving, it is possible to use the [[Tombstone of Life and Death|Tombstone of L and D]], a spawnable cheat object accessible via this cheat. Once spawned, select 'Get Family Member' and click on the name of the missing Sim. This will return the Sim without losing game progress.
 
It is possible for Sims to randomly die if the game is saved with testingCheatsEnabled on. The only way out of this is to use the [[Resurrect-O-Nomitron]] to resurrect the dead Sim before another Sim dies.
