The game does have a ton of glitches it's killing me >_< If you allow your sim to know everyone it copy's older sims o.o I found one sim that was an exact copy of me and I was like ***.

Thanks alot, I am gonna try these.

Is there a cheat of some kind that makes you gain skill level faster? 'Cause if there is, I really really need it!

Thank you for the list, I did see a couple I was not aware of.

If you hold down alt when moving an object it ignores gridlock

disableSnappingToSlotsOnAlt <- the one cheat I was always so skeptical about, the one I never thought I would need... The one I always load up after the core cheat whenever I play

I'm a builder and this cheat helps out so much.

Here's a dumb trick probably most of you know about but anyway:

If you want one (or more) of your sims to be swimming in simoleons each time you start a new game, here is what I do:

I start a new game and I create a Sim. I select the cheapest lot in town and move my Sim in there.

Then I go into the "Edit Town" mode, I open the console and type "TestingCheatsEnabled true".

I then evict my Sim (without the lot) and once my Sims is moved out (it appears on the top left corner of the screen), I open the console again and type something like this: FamilyFunds "[first name] [last name]" 50000000. Then I save my sadly evicted Sim into my library. The next time I start a game and select that Sim, that Sim cries all the way to the bank

Best Regard!

Thats because Shaazam isnt real, im not sure how it all started, but heres how to get real lifetime points!
Step 1: open up the cheat bar ctrl+shift+c
Step 2: BEFORE you go into your saved family , open up the cheat bar shown above. Then type testingcheatsenabled true. You must do this when you are on the main menu with the big blue screen and all your saved families.
Step 3: Once you have done that, go into your saved family, and go to your lifetime happiness chest thingy and hold down ctrl while right clicking near the chest, you might have to click all over near the chest its different every time.

Hope this helped!

EDIT IN CAS WORKS! HERE'S HOW! What I did was I pressed and held shift, control and c and the same time for a second while at the main menu then typed in testingCheatsEnabled true, then hit enter. I clicked on my family and started my game. Then I clicked the sim I wanted to edit and while holding shift left clicked on him. Some options popped up including modify traits and bum da da da! Edit in CAS!!! I clicked it and since my child is already a handsome little devil I just changed his favorite food and eye color! Yay for cheats!!!

Also, for lifetime happiness points, do the same as I said about typing in the cheat at the main menu, then click on which sim you want, go to his or her lifetime happiness points section and then, while holding shift, left click in between the right of the treasure chest and the left of the box that says how many points your sim has. For me it's somewhere near the top. Happy simming!

Btw, I do NOT, I repeat do NOT, recommend using edit in CAS on kittens and probably babies, puppies, and foals. I tried it on my kitten and when I tried to change its breed wow did I get a scare! Since you can't naturally edit in CAS infant sims or animals you get this nightmare creature! It tries to make a kitten and cat at the same time so it's innards are all showing and it's totally freaky! I hit undo and exited out and now my kitten is fine but boy! Scary! I'm gonna have creepy dreams tonight!

"TestingCheatsEnabled"
You need to put True on the end of it for it to work. Like this:
TestingCheatsEnabled True
and to turn it off replace True with False.

"shazaam"
That cheat doesn't seem to do anything for me at all.

"Edit in CAS"
I really need this cheat, but I can't get it to work at all. Anyone have any luck?

"Modify Traits"
Doesn't seem to work, but if you have TestingCheatsEnabled turned on, you just hold down the Shift key and left click your mouse button on your Sim and you get the option to Modify Sims's Traits.

"Set Age"
Doesn't seem to work, but if you have TestingCheatsEnabled turned on, you just hold down the Shift key and left click your mouse button on your Sim and you get the option to Trigger Age Transition on your Sim.

"Mailbox:"
The stuff for the mailbox only shows up if you have TestingCheatsEnabled turned on.

"Teleport"
This isn't an actual cheat code. If you have TestingCheatsEnabled turned on and if you hold the Shift key and left click your mouse button anywhere, you will get a Teleport option instead of the Go Here option. Comes in handy for getting around fast.

"familyfunds"
Here is a code to set your family up with as much money as you want.
This is an example of how to use it.
Say you have a family named the Brown family. While you are in their house, go into the cheat window and type this:

familyfunds Brown 1000000

Your money will change to that amount. Just replace Brown with the family's last name and replace 1000000 with what ever amount you want.

I'll keep playing around and see what else I figure out.

if you want to enter CAS while your in the game you hit the control-Shift-C @ the same time then type in the "TestingCheatsEnabled true" then hold shift an right click the sim you want to edit in CAS and you will be given options what to do an just click the one that says "edit in create a sim" an you can, once your done you can click the check and your edited sim will be in the game.
