Line 10: == Use and abilities == Once the cheat has been enabled, clicking on any Sim or object ~~whilst~~while holding down the '''Shift''' key will cause a menu with debugging options to pop up. These can range from making certain Sims selectable and unselectable, making Sims grow up instantly (or killing them by Old Age, if the option is used on an Elder), changing a Sim's [[aspiration]] or [[trait]]s or spawning several cheat objects{{Vgversion\|TS2}}. All objects have the option '''Force Error''', which can be used to reset objects (clearing any interactions queued on them) or delete them (although not permanently in the case of Sims and Pets). The debugging cheats can be turned off by opening the cheat console and typing '''boolprop testingcheatsenabled false'''. Players can also use testingcheatsenabled to control Sims that are not part of the household with the '''Make Selectable''' option, or they can temporarily remove household members with the '''Make Unselectable''' option. This option allows the player to control newborn babies, whom are not normally controllable. Several NPCs, such as the [[Grim Reaper]] or the [[Therapist]], lack this option and therefore cannot be controlled by the player. If the player is in [[Create-A-Sim]] {{Vgversion\|TS2}} mode ~~whilst~~while the cheat is active, they can press '''SHIFT+N''' to enter [[Create a Sim#Debug Mode\|CAS debugging mode]], which allows the player to give Sims clothing and hairstyles that would normally be unavailable (such as NPC and job-exclusive clothes). Pressing '''SHIFT+M''' will disable CAS debugging mode. [[File:Sims-3-tutorial-seasonal-lot-marker-buydebug.jpg\|thumb\|BuyDebug option with question mark]]Some cheats in ''The Sims 3'' require testingcheatsenabled true before they can be activated, such as <code>buyDebug</code>, <code>enableLotLocking</code>, and <code>restrictBuildBuyInBuildings</code> cheats. Buydebug is used to buy most objects that are not normally obtainable in the [[Buy mode]], such as collectible spawners, reward objects, or crafted objects.
