View source for Content List:Hacks and Hacked Objects

Hacks and hacked objects are items that change certain aspects of gameplay, for better or for worse.  This listing also includes links to cheats and instructions for tricks that work similarly to hacks or hacked objects.


=Hack Management=

Not hacks or hacked objects, but programs and utilities to help you manage your hacks.

* Hack Conflict Detecting Program: [http://www.simwardrobe.com/ Paladin at SimWardrobe]
* Hack Detector: [http://sims2pack.modthesims2.com/ Clean Installer] (As Clean Installer has not been updated since approx. Oct. 2005, it will not detect all hacks, but can help).
* Hack and Duplicate Scanner: [http://www.djssims.com/index.php?category=21 DJS Sims]

=Aging and Time=

Hacks and hacked objects relating to the aging of sims, life stages, and time on the lot.

* Add/Subtract Aging Days: [http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=177345 BlackSwan at MTS2]
* Aging Controller/Individual Aging: [http://www.nectere.net/smf/index.php?topic=116.0 Heirloom Cake by Inge at SimLogical]

* "Real-Time" Clock: [http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?c=1&p=1317297#post1317297 Merola at MTS2]
* Lot Timer (the closest thing possible to allow time to pass equally on all lots): [http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,2386.0.html JM Pescado at MATY]
* Time Correct When Returning Home From Community Lot: The fact that one can leave home at noon, stay on a community lot for hours, return home, and it's still noon has vexed players since the game was released.  However, there's a VERY GOOD REASON it's set up like this...  If Joe goes to a community lot and leaves his wife Carol at home on the lot, and Joe's gone for four days (as is often possible especially with community sleep hacks), what does Carol do while he's gone?  What if Carol's pregnant?  What if Carol's almost an elder?  What if she's about to get a promotion?  What if they have kids - do they grow up while he's gone?  One can use the InSIMenator to change the day of the week, and OfB includes a cheat to change the hour of the day, so you can simulate a return home at the correct time with that, but actually making it the "correct" time when you return home from a community lot is extremely unlikely/impossible as a hack.


=Building, Buying, and Lots=

Hacks and hacked objects for build mode, buy mode, lots, and construction.

* Wall Limit Removed: Hard coded by Maxis - Not possible as a hack.  However, you can use Numenor's [http://modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=59793&c=1&page=2&pp=100 Unlevel Walls], in addition to your normal walls, to circumvent it.

==Create-a-Sim Family Limits Removed==

You can use this trick to create, for example, a teen and child as parent and child, adult and teen as siblings, create a teen to live alone without killing off the parents, etc...  A hack to remove the limits imposed by Create a Sim is unlikely.
# You must have Nightlife or any later expansions for the ageSimsCheat to work.
# Create the sims in Create a Sim how you want them for their ages.  Before you finish the sims, switch the sims to an age that it WILL work - for adult/teen as siblings, switch the teen to adult and make them siblings.  For teen/child as parent/child, switch the teen to adult with the child as their child.  
# Finish the family and move them into a lot.
# When the lot has loaded, CTRL-SHIFT-C to bring up the cheat console and enter "ageSimsCheat on"
# Click on the sim(s) that are currently the incorrect age and age them up/down so they ARE the correct age.  Relationships will stay intact.

=Visiting=

Tricks and hacks that allow sims to go for visits.

* Pregnant Sims Can Go to Community Lots: [http://www.insimenator.net/showthread.php?t=9883 Squinge at InSIM]

To Visit Residential Lots:
# Load the residential lot you would like your sims to visit.
# Call the sims you would like to visit on the phone and invite them over.
# Use [http://www.modthesims2.com/article.php?p=1090806 testingcheatsenabled] to make the resident sims unselectable, and make the visiting sims selectable (make sure to leave at least one sim selectable the whole time while you do this!!!).
# Conduct your visit as you like.
# When you're done, make the resident sims selectable again, deselect the visiting sims, save, and exit.  Easy to do, and works just fine.

To Visit Community Lots with Toddlers:
# You must have Open for Business or any later expansions.
# CTRL-SHIFT-C to bring up the cheat console and enter "ageSimsCheat on"
# In live mode, click on the toddler.  You'll find there's a new pie menu entry.  Age them up to child.
# Take your family to the community lot as usual.
# When you get to the community lot, use the cheat again to age them back down to toddler.
# Conduct your visit to the community lot.
# Before you leave, use the cheat again to age them back up to child.
# Return home.
# Use the cheat one last time to age them back down to toddler.


=Weather and Seasons=

Though Maxis told us we were getting weather in the base game (and indeed left some of the coding in) it didn't pan out.  However, many modders have created items that both unlock the (rather buggy) Maxis coding for rain and storms, as well as created whole new hacks to enable weather and seasons.
