However, it is not the cheat '''itself''' that causes corruption, but the player's mishandling of its power.<ref name="one">[http://www.modthesims.info/showthread.php?p=3716708#post3716708 Post on Mod the Sims] regarding the cheat</ref>

By default, game errors, with the exception of a few, are automatically handled by the game. If testingcheatsenabled is active, all errors experienced in the game will throw an object error dialog, where the player will be given the option to Cancel, Reset, or Delete the object. This may not harm the game if the correct option is chosen, but it can become annoying after a while.
