Cheats

  • I can't place objects diagonal/45 degrees/tilted.


To use cheats

Bring up the cheat console by holding down CTRL, SHIFT, C at the same time. This will bring a small white box up at the top of your screen. Type the cheats in there and hit ENTER. Cheats may be case sensitive, so make sure you enter the cheats with the capital letters as shown. Don't enter the brackets around the variables when you enter the cheat.

If you don't get the cheat box when you do CTRL, SHIFT, C, then look here.

Some cheats are expansion-pack specific, and you must have the expansion pack that cheat was released in (or any expansion pack released afterward) for it to work in your game. The icon(s) with each cheat denote which EPs that cheat is included in. If a cheat just has an icon for the base game (original), it will work even if you just have the base game installed, and will work with any and all EPs.

If you would like to make a user startup cheat file (so you don't have to enter certain cheats every time you play) you can do so by following this.

Build Cheats

Cheats that are helpful when building on lots.

  • (Pets) deleteAllFences - Remove all fences from the lot.
  • (Pets) deleteAllWalls - Remove all walls from the lot.
  • (Pets) deleteAllHalfWalls - Remove all half walls from the lot.
  • (Pets) deleteAllHalfWalls - Remove all half walls from the lot.
  • (Pets) deleteAllAwnings - Remove all awnings from the lot.
  • (Pets) deleteAllObjects [Doors/Windows/Stairs] - Removes all build mode objects of the chosen type from the lot.
  • (Pets) individualRoofSlopeAngle [15-75] - Allows you to change roof angles on the lot individually. This cheat seems to be broken, as it does not save with the lot at all.
  • (OfB,Pets) Press the CTRL + ALT keys while trying to place an object on a wall. Placement rules on walls will be removed, and you will be able to place any wall object on a wall already occupied by another object.
  • (NL,OfB,Pets) roofslopeangle [angle] - Adjust angle of all roofs on the lot. Acceptable values are 15-75.
  • (Uni,NL,OfB,Pets) changeLotZoning [residential/community/greek/dorm/secretsociety] - Changes the zoning type of the lot. Before rezoning a lot using this cheat, make sure there are no Sims currently living in the lot. To use this cheat, enter the lot that you would like to rezone, and then enter the cheat, choosing one of these zoning options. Save and exit to neighborhood and re-enter the lot. If you would like your final lot to be residential, greek house, dorm, or secret society, start with a residential lot. If you would like your final lot to be community, start with a community lot. More specific information on using this cheat to make greek houses, dorms, and secret societies can be found here.
  • (Uni) boolProp dormSpecificToolsDisabled [true/false] - Enables build/buy mode tools that would normally be disabled when in a dorm lot.
  • (Uni,NL,OfB,Pets) boolProp allow45DegreeAngleOfRotation [true/false] - Allows users to rotate any object in 45 degree increments. Use the < and > (, and .) keys to rotate the objects; clicking and dragging to rotate will only rotate in 90 degree increments. Sims may have problems using some objects placed at a 45 degree angle. * This cheat can be used even if you have no expansion packs by using this hacked object.
  • (Uni,NL,OfB,Pets) setHighestAllowedLevel [number] - Sets the amount of floors allowed (so you can build higher).
  • *Some users have reported this cheat does not always work/does not work at all for them after installing Open for Business. However, there is a trick that one can use to get more levels (works with any EPs or base game only)... Build up to the highest level you can. On that top level, place a dormer (they're in with the roofs and such). This will let you build one more level up. Put a wall or something up on that next level. Remove the dormer (ctrl-click and drag with the wall tool, remove roofs). Continue building on your new level. Repeat as necessary.
  • (TS2) boolProp lotTerrainPaints [true/false] - Set to false to clear floorpaints on the lot.
  • (TS2) boolProp lotWater [true/false] - Set to false to remove water (ponds) on the lot.
  • (TS2) boolProp locktiles [true/false] - Set to false to place floor tiles at the very edge of the lot and on the road and sidewalks.
  • (TS2) moveObjects [on/off] - Allows you to move and delete objects in build mode that you cannot normally move or delete. Mainly used in building to overlap objects to create interesting effects. Use with caution: deleting certain items such as the mailbox, trashcan, and community phone can cause problems with a lot. Deleting a sim living on your lot, saving, and exiting will result in that sim being restored and standing at the mailbox when you re-enter the lot, which can be useful if they're stuck or otherwise bugged.
  • (TS2) boolProp constrainFloorElevation [true/false] - Toggles the ability to change the elevation of floor tiles in areas that already have walls, floors, and foundations on them.
  • (TS2) boolProp snapObjectsToGrid [true/false] - Toggles the ability to fine-tune the placement of items, instead of being limited to just placing them at certain spots on the grid. If you find you can't place windows and doors because they won't snap properly onto walls, disable this cheat (and/or remove it from your user startup cheat file) and try again.
