Cheat: Using the ';testingcheatsenabled'; Command



This testingcheatsenabled cheat allows you to do several useful things when used properly. First, hold CTRL+SHIFT+C (CTRL+SHIFT+WindowsKey+C for Vista) and enter this code: testingcheatsenabled true



Now, hold SHIFT and click your letterbox. This will provide you with these options:



* Make All Happy

* Force Visitor

* Set Career

* Set level



You may also hold SHIFT and click on Sims to get these options:



* Add Sim to House

* Modify Sim Traits

* Force Aging



In Ground View mode, hold SHIFT and click a spot and your Sim will teleport to it.



You can also click and drag your Sims' need bars to full. SHIFT-click the mailbox and select Make Needs Static to keep the max level until you leave the game. (Note: if you SHIFT-click the mailbox and it says Make Needs Dynamic, select that. SHIFT-Click the mailbox again and it will say Make Needs Static) This must be repeated each time you re-enter the game. But you only have to do it once, as it will work for all of the Sims in the household.



Hold SHIFT and click a Sim's workspace to do the following:



* Force Event

* Force Events

* Force Opportunity

Hint: Cooking Skill Exploit



Note: This glitch requires a TV with a cooking channel and a video game system. First, have one Sim sit down and watch TV. Switch the TV over to the cooking channel so that the Sim can start earning its skill point. Now, have a second Sim go over and start playing video games. You should now notice that although the TV is displaying video games, the first Sim still has the skill meter above its head! Simply allow this Sim to sit there until it decides to go do another activity on its own. After that, the skill meter should stay above its head until you start another cooking skill activity. As an added bonus, you can train two skill points at once! i.e., Go work out and both the athletic and cooking skills will continue to rise.



Addition: This also works with the Fishing Skill and the Gardening Skill provided you have a TV with those capabilities.
