== Dangers of using the cheat ==

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. If DELETE is chosen, the Sim that was selected or interacted with disappears, but will return if you re-enter the house. It is also possible to use the [[Tombstone of Life and Death|Tombstone of L and D]], a spawnable cheat object accessible via this cheat, instead. Once spawned, select 'Get Family Member' and click on the name of the missing Sim. This will return the Sim without losing game progress. Or, use RESET to not lose the Sim or the object. CANCEL does nothing.

 

In ''The Sims 3'', the "[[save game error|Error Code 16]]", which affects a save due to over usage of testingcheatsenabled true can also be negated by clicking 'Save As' instead of Save and use another name for the save file will save the game without any problem, though it is highly recommended that testingcheatsenabled is rarely used in the game. The new patch now can recover the save game in case anyone doesn't know this method.

 

It is recommended that this cheat is only used by experienced players. But even in the hands of an experienced player, it can still be risky.
