Debug Mode:
Press Ctrl + Shift + C to open the Cheat menu then enter the following:
BoolProp testingCheatsEnabled true.

While in Create-a-Sim press Shift + N before creating your first Sim to enable skintones, clothes, and hairstles that would normally be used only by NPCs.

Press Shift + M to disable it. Bring up the Debug menu by presssing Shift + Click on a Sim while in Live mode.

Cheat Codes

Firstly, bring up the cheat console by pressing CTL + Shift + C at the same time. Then you can enter any of the following codes for the corresponding effect:

Cheats
aging (off/on) - turns again off or on
deleteAllCharacters - Deletes all Sime in the neighbourhood
kaching - get 1000 cash
motherlode - get 50,000 simoleans
moveobjects (on/off) - moves and delete objects that you cannot normally

Just enter 'exit' to close the cheat console. You can also enter 'expand' or 'contract' to make the cheat console bigger or smaller. You can also enter 'help -all' to get a list of all cheats!

It's probably obvious, but for the stuff in brackets just write one or the other! So for example if you want to switch off the aging function, just bring up the cheat console, and enter: aging off, and to turn it on enter: aging on.

Display and Performance Cheats

bloom rgb (0.0 to 1.0) Create an effect using different clours. Instead of typing 'rgb', you need to enter three values, one representing r(red), one for g (green), and one for b(blue). These values can be any number from 0-255

filmGrain (0.0 to 1.0) Created a grainy effect on the screen

letterBox (0.0 to 0.4) Adds a letterbox effect to the view.

slowMotion (0 to 8, 0 is normal) Effects the game speed.

Becoming a Mermaid

Get your your Sim to become a scientist. Get them to make a potion, put their own DNA in it, some fish DNA, and drink it. Voila! You've got a mermaid!

Enable Special Event Camera

I have seen it time and time again, people asking how to enable the special events camera in Sims 2, any expansion pack. Usually the problem is the option is greyed out and cannot be turned on. This does mean, most of the time that a person's PC cannot handle the graphics of the game, but here is what you can do to override this fault:

--I found this override code while re-writing the GraphicsRules.sgr files so I could play at a higher resolution.--

1. Boot up the Sims 2 as normal.
2. Select your neighborhood.
3. While still on the neighborhood screen, bring up the cheat box with ctrl + shift + c.
4. Enter the following into the cheat window exactly as shown:
Boolprop chooseCameraSpecialEventEnabled true
5. Open your options through the "..." button.
6. Click on the camera settings button (looks like a camera).
7. Look at the Special Event Camera option now (first row, second column).
It should be blue and selectable.
8. Turn your camera on and enjoy those special moments with a Sim cinematic!

I hope this helps out anybody still struggling with this old issue, but since I am a bargain shopper I recently picked up The Sims 2. I hope this will help other bargain shopping gamers out there like myself.

Loads Of Money Without Having To Type Motherlode Over Again

Hit ctrl+shift+c to open the cheat box. Now type in FamilyFunds (Family Name) (amount) and then hit enter. The highest money amount is 999,999 (I think). Happy cheating! NOTE: The (family name) is where you actually have to type in the family name...same with the amount of money.

money

To open the cheat menu hit shift, tab and c. When it is open type in the word motherlode or kerching.
Motherlode will give 50,000 simolions
Kerching will only give you 1000 simolieons

Full health

To give your sims full health you have to enter the cheat Move_objects on. Then you go into bye mode and click on the sim you want to give full health. You then delete your sim and exit the lot when you go back in to the lot your sim will be there with full heath. If you want to play the game without that sim for a while cos yoyu want a partener to have an affair with someone from the house and don't want to wait for the other sim to go to work then you jut don't leave the lot and that sim wont be there untill you leave and come in again. You can leave the game alltogether and come back and the sim will be there.

Save the game before you delete them or you will lose all pionts they get between then and the last time you save.

Then if you are in Create a sim mode press shift n and a box will come up saying you can use the maxis crap. You can be grim, hula grim, invisible body, skeleton, all of the work outfits an the social bunny. There is also a lot more. If you are in sim mode press shift and click on any sim you have. More options will come up than usual. You can do that to almost anything! If you have a tombstone you can make an option to walk like a ghost! That truly is the best cheat ever.

Move_objects on precautions

Hi, i'm sure we are all familiar with the move_objects on cheat by now (enables you to move and delete some things which cannot be moved otherwise). First, do NOT delete your sims, because instead of getting a moodboost (like on sims 1) they will disappear and NOT COME BACK. By the way if there are some unprepared ingredients on the floor, click on them about 20 times and eventually it will let you pick up and delete them. By the way you can't delete plates, with or without food on.

Things you CAN delete with move_objects on
Coffee cups
Baby bottles
Sims (don't do it unless you want to permanently delete the sim)
Objects that a sim is using (don't delete a shower/bath/hot tub while sims are in them because it is likely to delete the sim as well)
Unprepared ingredients
NPCs (Non-playable characters such as the paper boy/girl or the fireman)

Things you CAN'T delete with move_objects on
Dinner/dessert plates (with or without food)
Servings (you know the big bowl of food that sims can Grab A Plate or Grab a Bowl from)
TV Dinners

OK, I think that just about covers it.

BoolProp revealed

Ok this is getting a bit tedious with the amount of wrongly spelt boolProp cheats. This is the official one:

To do this press Shift + Ctrl + C to open the cheat box and type boolprop testingcheatsenabled true. Buy a telescope and hold shift and click on it, you should see DEBUG - Be abducted, click it, your character will gaze and then be abducted they will come back in a few hours.

Note: Once you have done this once a want will come up saying you need to visit aliens 5 times, once done you get 25,000 points.

How to get instant money

50,000 Cash

To get 50,000 Sim bucks press CTL + Shift + C and type in Motherlode.

Buying expensive houses

Use the following trick if you want your average Sim to buy a house that is above his or her means. First start a family or load one, and find an empty lot. Move the Sim on that lot. Enable the motherlode code a few times, just to the point where you can buy the expensive house. Exit the lot, but save the game. Then, evict (move out) the family. Notice that your family is displayed at the "Choose Family" window. You can now buy any house desired.

Custom Painting

To decorate your house with custom artwork, first your sim must have a creativity level of 5 and be able to paint a still life.
Have your sim paint and a frame will appear that you can center on whatever you want to paint. If you want to paint a picture of something outside the Sims 2 game, just press C anywhere at this time. This will pause the game.

Use Alt + Tab to exit the game, then open a picture program such as Paint and open the snapshot you just took, it will usually be in the folder: C:My DocumentsEASims2StorytellingSnapshot.bmp

Then, you also have to open the picture you want to have in your game. If your picture is too large resize it so it will fit in the original snapshot from the game.

Copy your custom picture on to your snapshot from the game, then save the picture. Use Alt + Tab to get back to your game and your sim will start painting your own custom picture.

Using this trick you can put pictures of your friends or family, web pictures, or anything else in your Sims 2 game.

Listen To Mp3's On Sim Radio

First get whatever Mp3's you want to put on the game, then open up MyDocuments/EAGames/TheSims2/Music/(whatever RadioStation you want your song on). Then, Drag your MP3 into the folder. Now, start Sims 2 then go to options menu, then music settings, then the Radio Station, then pick witch songs you want the radio to play. You can now listen to your favorite songs in your Sims game.

Use your own videos for the TV

It's possible to watch your own videos on the Sim-TV. You must put the video you want into MyDocuments/EaGames/TheSims2/Music/ (the TV sender you want). If you then turn on the TV in the game you can watch it! The video must be .avi-clips and the clips shouldn't be larger then 128x128 pixel also it shouldn't have more then 15 frames per second.

Disgusting Faces

There is a glitch in character creation mode where you can make absolutely disgusting faces. The trick is that if you go to the face designing area and you select a face part such as the eyes and max out all the sliders one way or the other, then go to a different face part and select one of the PREDESIGNED parts, and then come back to the eyes, the sliders will have reset in the middle, but the eyes will still look the same. This works for all of the face adjusting tabs. Exploiting this, you can make eyes the size of dinner plates, cheekbones 4 feet long, and a HUMUNGOUS nose, to name a few.

Nude Sims!

Open the console and type:
intprop censorgridsize 0
This will remove all the blurring, oooohhhhh!.
To get it back blurring type intprop censorgridsize 8 for default blurring.

Turn aging on or off

You can turn aging on or off using a simple code.

To turn aging off:

-Press and hold down the Ctrl + Shift + C keys on your keyboard, then relese the keys. This will bring up a line (cheat code line) at the top of the screen where you can enter the following text: aging -off.
--Hit the Enter key.

Your Sims will no loger age. They still have an aging bar that tells you how many SimDays must pass before they age.

To turn aging on:

- Do the same steps that I refer before but replace the word "off" by the word "on".

Your Sims will now age normally.
