What's on your cheat sheet?


So, I assume that many players use cheats for the game that are not necessarily money or skill cheats. There are cheats that I have no problem remembering like 'bb.moveobjects', 'cas.fulleditmode' or 'freerealestate on', but others I kept forgetting so I started a cheat sheet (just a Word document) to not always have to search the forum or the internet to find them. My favourites, which I still tend to forget to type in correctly, especially if I haven't played in a while, are 'bb.showhiddenobjects' and 'bb.showliveeditobjects' while building and while in CAS to disable Vampires and Spellcasters from their constant animations (which I find highly irritating!) open cheat console with ctrl+shift+c and enter 'casclockspeed 0' (to revert just enter 'casclockspeed 1'). And of course 'cas.unlockbytag SP17' to unlock Nifty Knitting items which also works for other packs with the correct pack code. Not sure if it works for all though, I'm mostly after those cozy looking socks.

What's on your cheat sheet? I'm sure there are some nifty cheats I have not even thought to search for yet. :)

  • Between MCCC and UI cheats, I very rarely type a cheat code. Actually, its been years since I typed one, thinking about it.

  • I use the usual cheats then I have added a few that are important to me.

    Some notes for the things that are special when using a keyboard with Swedish letters
    It took me some trial and error to figure out that I needed the letter å when I wanted to make something larger. I usually build in the middle of the night when I am in the zone and everyone else is sleeping. I am not in the mood to look for the cheat then, most stuff only post the english
    keyboad versions. The info is out there, of course, but I rather just have it written down for easy access. Middle of the night building as I said, creative yes, reasoning and logical thinking no.

    A few cheats for ghosts. You never know when you want to play with a certain type of ghost
    There are so many more different cheats for ghosts.

    Eco footprints
    I love making an area feel really run down or like magical green forest and the eco footprints really help with that. I wish there was a way to add a lot-trait that made rent go up so that you could make an individual lot really cheap or expensive. Then I would make a really industrial area that was really cheap and give my sims a reason to hoard all those simoleons in order to move into a expensive green area. I like playing in the world that have these effects added, trying to do this via gameplay just makes me mad. The meter moves to green to quickly and it flip-flops too much. At one point I made CC-wallpapers that boosted either the industrial value or the green value. Then I finally figured out that I was not having fun and now I just cheat it.

    eco_footprint.set_eco_footprint_state 0 - Change the neighborhood you are in to a Green Eco Footprint

    eco_footprint.set_eco_footprint_state 1 - Change the neighborhood you are in to a Neutral Eco Footprint

    eco_footprint.set_eco_footprint_state 2 - Change the neighborhood you are in to a Industrial Eco Footprint



    Parenthood cheats
    I prefer to make my own townies. I play a sim for some time, everything from a few days to a few weeks to make it feel like an individual. After that I load them into a specific tray-folder and download them into future saves. Every now and then I give them one of the traits from the parenthood pack. Irresponsible, responsible, Mediator or Argumentative. Unfeeling or emotional control. I wish that the sims would use these traits by themselves, they give played sims more options but doesn't do much for npc-sims. Still, it is fun when your played sim has found a bestie to room with and when you add them to your household they have a less than stellar extra trait. Livens things up a bit.

    traits.equip_trait Irresponsible

    traits.equip_trait LifeSkills_Responsible

    traits.equip_trait Mediator

    traits.equip_trait Argumentative

    traits.equip_trait BadManners

    traits.equip_trait LifeSkills_Unfeeling

    traits.equip_trait Irresponsible

    traits.equip_trait EmotionalControl
