The Sims 3 cheats won't work after I type them in.

If I ever use the mod pose player, I always use the moveobjects on cheat. But now none of the cheats are working! I can't even edit my players, or move them or reset them when they get stuck! Eventua...

    did you clear the cache files after removing the mods  ? if not close your game down and clear the cache then launch your game and use the reset all sims cheat as some sims may have got stuck somewhere you cant see as sometimes if the game seems slow one reason is stuck sims which can cause a lag

    and if the cheat works bob's your uncle 🙂

    delete the cach files go to electronic arts/the sims 3/

      •CasPartCache.package

    •compositorCache.package

    •scriptCache.package

    •simCompositorCache.package

    •socialCache.package.package

    it's safe to delete these files as a new ones will regenerate

    to reset all sims ctrl+shift+c hold all 3 together in the menu bar that appears at the top of the screen type in resetsim *   (inculding the * hit enter ) this will reset all sims inculdeing your own

Yes it does, and I tried all of them. I'm pretty sure that the only one that works is motherlode. Which gives you money. And when I unpaused my game it was super slow. But that might be because my mods are gone?

    Oh my gosh yes that works. But testingcheatsenabled true still doesn't work where that one allows you to change appearances, and some other stuff. But now I can move my sims. And should I move back the mods, or reinstall them... or

    THANKS SO MUCH,

    you can use a mirror to change your sims apperance put one on a bathroom click on it option change apperance use a dresser to change the clothes

    are you using the right cheat code for XP and & win 7 it's ctrl+shift+c hold all three together and hit enter for win 8 in some cases it's the way you do it for vista ctrl+shift+windows+c

    i'd try first before putting the mods back i'd start a new game to see if the cheats work in a new game ( just in case something went wrong with your other game say a corruption )  if the cheats work in the new game but don't in the old one then something messed up if they do owrk then in your old game save your sims via edit town to the libiary and start a new game with them once you have them settled in the game save and quit and nake  a copy of the game to have as a back up

    Yes it works, and I'll just use a mirror, and dresser. But I have one more question.

    Do you reccomend University Life, or Island Paradise? Becuase I want to get a new expansion pack, but I don't know whcih one to get.

    Thanks, Julia

    If you already have lags, I would recommend Uni.


    Island Paradise has a lot of lagging issues.

    Great that you rum was able to help you 🙂
