Cheats have been part of the SIMS series since the beginning. However, it is not just about "fushing" money to us infinitely, but increasing playful comfort. What cheats it for(Legacy) with expansion packs on the PC and how they are activated at all, we explain in this guide.
Enter and activate 2 cheats in Sims
In order to be able to use cheats in the Sims 2, we have to open the cheat console. As soon as the small input window is displayed at the top of the screen, we can enter and confirm a cheat code there.
- Open cheat console:Ctrl + Shift button + C
- Enable cheat entered:Enter
When entering the cheats, however, we have to consider a few things:
- We can only enter a cheat code at once and (DE) activate.
- The correct entry of the spaces is important, but the exact large and small description does not (it only serves better readability).
- Some cheats require additional inputs (e.g. names of the SIM) - we will be at the bottom of the cheat overview with square brackets
- illustrate.
Some cheats are available with the additives [True/False] or [on/off] in two variants. Depending on whether we want to activate or deactivate it, we have to attach the corresponding word.

Get even more power with the test mode (debug mode)
- In addition to the normal cheats, we can also activate the test mode or debug fashion, which was actually only intended for the developers. It opens up many other options by clicking on the SIM or simply makes us make changes much faster, such as killing a SIM or adapting needs. So it is a very powerful tool.boolprop testingcheatsenabled [true/false]
- Activate debug fashionBut be careful!
