Cheats for Sims 2, Add your cheats here

[mohmama3]

Add any cheats you find for Sims 2 and expansions here. Please keep this thread free from other comments so it will be easier to read through to find the cheat you want. If the cheat is one that can be listed without a long explanation, I will post it here in the first post and remove your post giving you credit for the find.

For all of you that just can't live without those cheats (me included), you can find a list of the cheats at Snooty Sims

The Sims 2 University Cheats:
-----------------------------
(The Sims 2 University Expansion Pack is required for these cheats)

changeLotZoning [residential | community | greek | dorm | secretsociety]: changes the zoning type of the lot. Before rezoning a lot using this cheat, make sure there are no Sims currently living in the lot. To use this cheat, enter the lot that you would like to rezone, and then enter the cheat, choosing one of these zoning options.

boolProp dormSpecificToolsDisabled true/false: enables build/buy mode tools that would normally be disabled when in a dorm lot.

boolProp allow45DegreeAngleOfRotation true/false: allows users to rotate any object in 45 degree increments instead of the 90 degree increments used for most objects.

setHighestAllowedLevel [level]: Allows you to build higher than 5 floors

The Sims 2 Cheats:
------------------
help: lists all the cheats in the game.

help [cheatname]: displays specific information about the cheat.

exit: closes the cheat window.

expand: expands or contracts the cheat window.

Money Cheat: PUSH ctrl+shift+c and a cheatbox comes up. Keep it open when you put the cheat word; kaching. You dont need to use the CTRL+SHIFT+C again. Hit enter and after that push the up arrow. Do this every time and your money will rise much faster . When you have enough money push ESC to go out of the cheatbox. The word motherlode is suppose to give you 50.000 at one time.

moveObjects on/off: removes footprint limitation for all object placement in Buy Mode and Build Mode. Removes limitations placed on hand tool for when objects are in use, or are normally non-movable objects. Is known to cause issues with game elements, routing, hidden object generation and manipulation, etc. Note that using this cheat allows you to delete objects that normally cannot be deleted, such as Sims, the mailbox, and the garbage can. If you delete these objects, there is no way to get them back, so be careful!

aging -on/off: prevents Sims from aging. This can disrupt the carefully tuned gameplay balance, and will prevent little Johnny from ever growing up, so treat this cheat with care as well.

autoPatch -on/off: This cheat lets you re-enable notifications when there is a game update available for The Sims 2. Just turn Autopatch on and go to the Custom Content Browser (the little snowflake button on the UCP in the neighborhood). If there's an update available you'll be asked whether you want to download it.

slowMotion [value]: The slowMotion cheat takes one parameter: the "slowness" setting (such as slowMotion 4). This value ranges from 0 to 8 where 0 is normal speed and 8 is the slowest speed.

StretchSkeleton (number) - Make your sim smaller or higher. 2.0 double size, 0.5 half size, etc.

floatProp tvVolume [0.0-1.0] 0.5 is default. Lower or increase number to manage tv sound

intProp censorGridSize 0 Removes censor. Or download censorpatch here to remove censor for good

intProp maxNumOfVisitingSims 8 You can invite more guests with a party. Can change last number to anything higher or lower. Use in Neighbourhood screen.

boolprop constrainFloorElevation [true/false] Use 'false' to make it possible to raise or lower the floor even when there are objects, flooring or walls on it.

boolProp simShadows [true/false] Turns shadow of sim on or off

boolProp displayPaths [true/false] True=You see the path where the selected sim walks to

boolProp snapObjectsToGrid [true/false]: Type "false" to place objects out of grid. This is great for placing coffee tables & rugs closer to sofas & to center pictures & things on a wall...I use it all the time. But u have to be careful because some objects won't work outside of the grid & u should really set it back to "true" once u have moved your object/objects. Go HERE to see a great pic example by Snooty Sims of how to use this.

Vsync on/off Turning off increases game performance but with some graphical errors as the price

faceBlendLimits -on/off When making a child in CAS, this cheat can turn off facial bounding limitations

Lot cheats

boolprop lotWater [true/false] False=Removes water from lots (ponds)
boolprop lotTerrainPaints [true/false] False=Removes floorpainting on lot
boolprop showFloorGrid [true/false] Shows grid or not in build or buy mode

boolprop displayNeighborhoodRoadsWithModel [true/false] False=Removes bridges from Nhood
boolprop lotTerrainLighting [true/false] False=Lots won't light up when you move your mouse over it in Nhood

boolprop nhoodWaterReflection [true/false] Turns on/off water reflection in nhood
boolProp carsOnRight [true/false] Cars in Nhood drive on left or right side of road

Filmmaking cheats

Slowmotion 0-8 0 is normal speed and 8 is slower

boolProp enablePostProcessing true/false: enables the use of postprocessing cheats (see below); very useful for movie making (also see below). Please note that you must have a video card that can handle pixel shaders in order to successfully use this cheat. If you use the cheats and you don't have pixel shaders, the screen will most likely go partially dark, and will not come back until you turn off enablePostProcessing. If you turn on postprocessing, and you turn on cinematics, and a cinematic plays, you may also experience unwanted graphical glitches.

bloom [r g b x] (rgb is color) (x is the bloom amount) [0.0 - 1.0]: This cheat adds a blur effect, like a sitcom flashback moment. Must have entered boolProp enablePostProcessing true for this cheat to work.

vignette [centerX centerY X] (X is the vignetteing factor) [0.0 - 1.0]: Adds a blur effect from the specified center. Using "vignette 0.5 0.5 0.5" should put some blurry bits at the edge of the screen. Vignette 0.5 0.5 1.0 is maximum edge blurryness. Must have entered boolProp enablePostProcessing true for this cheat to work.

filmGrain [val] [0.0-1.0]: This cheat makes the screen grainy. Must have entered boolProp enablePostProcessing true for this cheat to work.

letterBox [val] [0.0-0.4]: Adds a letterbox effect to the view. Must have entered boolProp enablePostProcessing true for this cheat to work.

Found this cheat at Variousimmers Forum They have pictures to assist you. (sadly they are gone now )

"This cheat allows to modify the height of your roofs. Please note, that it modifies the complete roof, even if it is made out of single sections, and it comprises all buildings of one lot.

Open your cheat window and key in

roofslopeangle

Now add a value between 15 and 75.

The value 30 matches pretty well with a half wall, which might be useful for balconies or roof terraces. You may also choose 35 for matching a half wall, it depends on whether you want to have the roof or the wall matching to it. According to the height of a fence for balconies or terraces, just adjust the settings.

All values higher or lower than standard look weird when watching the lot in the neighbourhood, but it looks good on your lot."

These cheats have been added from Alex's Post.

"Maybe this isn't news, but I thought it was interesting:

If you type in this cheat, boolprop testingcheatsenabled true, and you SHIFT+click on a selected Sim (in life mode), you get a whole new menu. Some of the options sounded dangerous so I didn't try them, others gave me an error message, but these were interesting:
PLEASE use very cautiously, don't test this cheat on your favorite family

- change fit > get thin/get fat

- change suit > maternity/pajamas, suimsuit/workout, underwear/naked , formal, casual 1

- set age > set to birthday (brings your Sim to the end of actual age cycle, so you can click on "grow up")

- set aspiration > different aspiration level options. If you click on "more" you can change your Sim's aspiration.

- make unselectable/selectable (maybe even works on visitors?)

- kill

- spawn > Tom's Clothing Tester: you get a clothes rack with all the work and npc clothing options. The rack still works after you've dissabled the cheat.
> Rodney's Death Creator: a tombstone where you can choose how to kill your Sim. Hmmm, maybe you can kill all your Sims on the same community lot to make a real graveyard (I still will have to wait like a year before NL comes out for Mac, so...)
> Tombstone of L and D: generates new members in your family, changes age etc...

- display > Debug - Show Sim Gender Pref (somehow I figured that their preferences are set by the gender of the first Sim they flirt with)

Remember to dissable the cheat by typing boolprop testingcheatsenabled false once you're done. You will still have the hacked objects on your lot.

But maybe you already knew all this "
