Has they removed/inactivated cheats again?

Did a recent patch (or deliberate choice like a few years ago) disable some cheat codes? I tried 3 yesterday to try to correct a problem but none of them worked. The victims are:

fillmotive motive
modify relationship
traits.remove_trait

'Testingcheats on' was done first, and I know these worked a few months ago as they were used at one time or another.

Any ieas, folks?

  • Was an event going on, or an active career? I've noticed that I can't use fill motive if the event timer (which is also used for active careers) is running.
    I haven't checked the other two lately.
  • Nope. Wanting fill motive as am getting weary of vamps lunching on other sims every few minutes. I'm wanting the modify relationship since it's taking forbloodyever to get things high enough with military and scientists to get the spore detector and filter for hazmat suit. Wanting the remove trait to work as my sim has married Leslie Holland and she's preggie with their first. An infected baby would be horrifying, so I want to delete her infected trait. Did it some months ago in a different save, so I know it's possible. At least back then.
  • I had some difficulties with some cheats but got them working eventually - I can't remember if that actually included the trait cheat or not.
  • The cheats for relationship have been altered some time ago. it's no longer enough to write Friendship_Main:

    LTR_Friendship_Main between Sims
    LTR_SimToPet_Friendship_Main between Sims and pets


    These have been removed:

    Sims.remove_all_buffs
    stats.set_stat commodity_BecomingVampire 2160 and other vampire cheats
    modify funds
    Pregnancy cheats
    All add_buff cheats
    sims.age_up
    sims.Spawn

    That is really annoying they removed sims.age_up and the one I did think about using Sims.remove_all_buffs. I wish I had an angry bird icon. :/
  • Thank you for posting the article and list! Read both twice, and none of the cheats I'm having problems with are on that list. Never even heard of them actually, so that's the good news. Your info on relationship cheats should help with that one. I hope. I understand the safety thing, but can't avoid the feeling there's a control issue going on as well. Being employed in the business world, along with my business/management degree makes me distrustful of large corporations, and EA fits that description.
