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.

Effect	Code
Blur effect; red, green, blue value must be between 0 and 255, and x (bloom) between 0.0 and 1.0	bloom <r g b x>
Centered blur effect; centerX and centerY are screen coordinates; x (vignette) must be between 0.0 and 1.0	vignette <centerX centerY x>
Grainy screen effect	filmGrain <0.0-1.0>
Letterbox screen effect	letterBox <0.0-0.4>

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.

Hint: Free items:
While your Sim is in college, claim a dorm room. Then, click the "Buy Catalog" button and look through the other dorm rooms. Use the hand to pick up things from the other dorm rooms and drag them into your dorm room. You can even take items in the halls of the college and from the kitchen.

Hint: Selecting a major:
Pick a major that not only leads to a career for a Sim, but also takes into consideration their level of skills when they get to college. If you choose wisely, they will skate through many semesters without even worrying about skills.

Hint: Control dorm members:
You can control dorm members, make them graduate, and move them to the neighborhood. To do this, you must have a former dorm member living in a Greek house. They must also be friends with the dorm member. Make the dorm member pledge to join the Greek house. Then the dorm member can move to the Greek house. Note: This also works if you have a student living on their own in a house. Just ask them to move in.

Hint: Getting the room that you want:
If your Sim wanted a certain room and someone else took it, click on their face on the left side of the screen. Click on their door and choose "Unclaim Room". If you do not control that Sim, then delete the door.

Hint: Getting special characters back permanently:
Whenever you "resurrect" a Sim that was initially dead (for example, Skip Broke, Darlene Dreamer, Michael Bachelor, Bella Goth, etc.), that Sim will disappear upon re-entry of that lot with a message stating that your Sim has died on another lot. To prevent this, enable the boolProp testingCheatsEnabled true code and right click on a Sim. Select "Spawn" then "Tombstond Of L & D". Select the Tombstone Of L & D and choose the "Get neighbor..." option. Sort through the names until you find the one you are looking for. Click on the name of the Sim you wish to "resurrect" and that Sim will spawn next to the tombstone. Right click on a Sim and spawn "Rodney's Death Creator". Have the resurrected Sim select it and die. Allow the Grim Reaper to take them. Then, get a Resurrect-o-nomitron. It is the career reward for the Paranormal career track. If you do not already have one, select an adult Sim and right click a newspaper. Select "Career Rewards" and "Paranormal". Open Reward mode and place the Resurrect-o-nomitron on the lot. For this part you will need about 10,000 Simoleons. Have a Sim on the lot use the Resurrect-o-nomitron to bring back the Sim you had just killed. Offer 10,000 Simoleons and you will get your dead Sim back permanently.

Hint: Delete unwanted Sim:
Enable the moveObjects on code and go into buy mode. Click on the Sim then press [Delete]; or drag him or her to the area where it says: <unknown> click here to delete. The Sim will be permanently deleted.

Hint: Make dorm rooms into regular rooms:
Enable the moveObjects on code and go into buy mode. Click on a dorm room door and delete it. Then, find an extra door and move it to the dorm room.

Hint: Have an alien baby:
Enable the boolProp testingCheatsEnabled true code and buy a telescope. Hold [Shift] and click the telescope then select "Get abducted.

Hint: Easy money:
When you move into a dorm room, go into buy mode and sell everything you can. It is possible to get up to 65,000 Simoleons from a small dorm room, with eight rooms and a medium dorm room with twelve rooms. Note: This trick works best if you sell everything as soon as your Sim moves into the dorm room, as you will get the full price for everything. If you do not, you will get a slightly depreciated value for all the items.

Hint: Drop out:
When a Sim drops out of college, they will automatically grow into adults and will never be able to attend college again.

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.

Glitch: Invisible dorm members:
Members of the dorms other than the ones you create cannot die except by fire or ghost attack. If you take away toilets, showers, and cooking appliances, they will not suffer mood failure. Their moods automatically replenish when low. A better way to try this trick is to place them on top of the roof using the moveObjects on code.
