These are extra cheats then the standard ones. They used these cheats during testing and were not originally intended to be shipped with the game. But since they are, why not share them?
Developers of The Sims used these cheats to test the game and keep it running without interfering from a person, the so called “Smoke tests”. That way the game could be running overnight without someone having to keep an eye on it. We are very excited to have some of these right now!
So here is a list of these ‘hidden’ cheats
Quick Disclaimer: Cheats are cheats. You’re going outside the standard flow so you may hit a hiccup or two. But, we’ve used these cheats extensively in development. For all of these you’ll need to open the command console (Ctrl + Shift + C).
Money Cheats
Automatically Pay Bills: Do you hate bills? Fret no more.
“households.autopay_bills”
Want to add a specific amount of money?
“sims.modify_funds (amount)”
There’s also
“motherlode” and “rosebud” AND “kaching”
Career Cheats
We have quite a few cheats for careers.
Want to add any career to your Sim?
“careers.add_career(name)”
Want to get a demotion?
“careers.demote(name)”
How about a promotion?
“careers.promote(name)”
Want to quit?
“careers.remove_career(name)”
For (name), type the name of the career.
Sim related cheats
Want to automatically answer dialogs that pop up on screen?
“ui.dialog.auto_respond”
Do you want to complete your current Aspiration Milestone? Either because you don’t like it, it’s too difficult, or you are stuck?
“aspirations.complete_current_milestone”
Want to speed up crafting?
Or, something? This one’s not entirely obvious, but it speeds up crafting (painting, woodworking).
“crafting.shorten_phases”
Want to fix everyone’s needs?
“sims.fill_all_commodities”
That’s for just one Sim.
“stats.fill_commodities_household”
That’s for the household.
Want to get rid of your Moodlets?
“sims.remove_all_buffs”
Want to spawn random groups of Sims?
“sims.spawnsimple(#)”
(#) is the number you want. BE WARNED: If you put in a crazy number, the game will break.
MOVIE MAKERS
Want to disable headline FX? Note: This doesn’t remove plumbob.
“headlineeffects on/off”
