1. Use the [Comma] or [Period] keys
to rotate the object. Some large (for example, multi-tile) objects
may not visually appear correct at 45 degree angles. This should
not be used on windows or doors, as they will already snap to
diagonal walls. There is no guarantee that Sims can interact with
all objects that are at this orientation, but most should work.
Use this with the boolProp snapObjectsToGrid code.
Postprocessing cheats: Use the following case-sensitive codes after enabling
the Postprocessing cheats with the boolProp enablePostProcessing
true code. Note: Do not enable or use the Postprocessing cheats
unless your video card supports pixel shaders.

Testing cheats mode: Press [Ctrl] + [Shift] + C during
game play to display the console window. Enter boolProp testingCheatsEnabled
true to activate testing cheats mode. This is a very powerful
cheat that enables many new things. In Create A Sim, after enabling
this code, go into debugmode by pressing [Shift] + N
before making a Sim. You now have the following new things in
Create A Sim: skin tones, clothing, and some other options such
as viewing the skinfilenames. In the game itself, after enabling
this code, hold [Shift] and left click on a Sim to have
lots of options, such as changing clothes, make your Sim fat or
thin, set their aspiration level, etc. This code also can spawn
some interesting items, such as the tombstone of L(ife) and D(eath),
and family members.
suyb thrt dartf.
Enable the boolProp testingCheatsEnabled true code then
go onto a different family. A strange code will appear at the
top right hand corner. If you go onto the Sims' needs, you can
click on each one and drag it up or down, whichever desired. You
can also increase the skill points of your Sims in the same way.
This is useful if you want a promotion, if your Sim is depressed,
if you are teaching a toddler to walk, etc. You can also hold
[Shift] and click on a Sim. Click on "More", then
"Spawn" and create the Tombstone of L and D. You can
click on this, then "More" then "Make everyone
here friends with me", which helps if you need friends to
get promoted, or to complete an aspiration task.
Enable the boolProp testingCheatsEnabled true code then
hold [Shift] and click on a mailbox. You will have new
options, such as forcing a burglar to rob, know all Sims in the
neighborhood (including NPCs and special Sims), force everyone
you know to be friends, force pregnancy relations, invite all
neighbors over, and more.
Be careful when using the "Testing cheats mode". Many
glitches can occur, such as blocky/scattered picture, being unable
to save, return to neighborhood, or quit. In rare cases if you
use the code too much, you can lose the ability to travel to community
lots. The car/taxi will drive offscreen, then immediately drive
back. susan4444.

Hint: Terrain types: The following terrain types can be used in Neighborhood
creation with the terraintype and nhdregiontype
codes. Matthew Sime.
Hint: Baby Sim Modder: Enable the boolProp testingCheatsEnabled true
code then hold [Shift] and click your Sim. Go to spawn
a new object called "Sim Modder", which is a little
baby. This baby can make it so that all, you, or another Sim gets
complete aspiration points, motives, or even gain friends. The
baby also can change your aspiration to a new hidden aspiration
known as "Grilled Cheese Aspiration", where your Sims
want to do nothing more than to focus their entire life around
Grilled Cheese sandwiches. Brady.
Hint: Turn into a vampire: Have your Sim become friends with a Grand Vampire.
Make sure they have a high Logic. Later on, your Sim will get
bitten, turning him or her into a vampire. Animalalleygirl.
Enable the boolProp testingCheatsEnabled true code, then
click on your Sim and select "Spawn". Then, choose "Sim
Modder" and go to "More". You can now select "Make
Vampire". Note: If you out in the morning you will start
to quickly melt -- stay in your coffin. BabiBrownEyES28.
Become friends with a vampire, then have another resident of the
house influence the vampire to bite you. If your friendship meter
is high enough, your Sim will allow the vampire to bite. Kerfam2.
Hint: Get more than eight Sims in household:
Enable the boolProp testingCheatsEnabled true
code, then hold [Shift] and click on your Sim. Select "Spawn",
and then choose "Tombstone of L and D". You can now
choose from several options. Select "Make pregnant by <your
Sim's name> and have a baby with yourself. Then, select
"Speed up my pregnancy" and your Sim will have its baby
in less than a day. cortne.
Hint: Driving: When your Sim becomes a teenager it can drive a car.

Hint: Grilled Cheese Sandwich Aspiration:
Get the ReNuYu Reprogrammer found in your Sim(s) Aspiration
Rewards (not Devices or Career Rewards) using Aspiration Points.
Instruct a Sim with desperation (in the red zone) Aspiration status
to reprogram him or herself. He or she will probably get the "Grilled
Cheese" Zonk Aspiration, where all of that Sim's wants and
fears will revolve around grilled cheese sandwiches. Your Sim
will be totally obsessed with grilled cheese sandwiches. However,
your Sim's wants will be relatively easier to fulfill, including
the "Lifetime want", which will be "Eat 200 grilled
cheese sandwiches." Most, if not all, of your Sim's wants
will be relatively costless. Your Sim's fears may be more controllable
as long as your Sim's cooking skill is great enough. Finally,
the spell is totally reversible. Return to the ReNuYu Reprogrammer
with a better Aspiration status (preferably Gold or Platinum)
and select a different Aspiration. Note: your Sim's previous lifetime
want will be forever lost. bnefriends.
Hint: Reset Sim or object: If your Sim or object is not working with anything,
try doing this. It will reset what they are doing with no harm
done. First, enable the boolProp testingCheatsEnabled true
code Shift click on the Sim or object that is not working. Keep
selecting the "More..." option until you find the "Force
Error" selection. A box will appear. Select"Reset".
This will cancel anything they are doing, no matter what. Al3895.
