The Sims 2 Cheats & Tips

If you are on a mac and want to make wants or fears come true, go to a community lot, open up the cheat window (Option-Control-Shift C), and type in "boolProp Testingcheatsenabled true". Save and exit to the neighborhood. Open up a house with any number of sims in it. View your wants/fears panel, and Control-click. That want should come true, and if it was a power want, others may change as well. If you make a want for a sim's relationship status become a friend (if you want to have a friend relationship with someone) come true, it may display a want for achieving a best friend relationship. ***This does add points to your sim's aspiration point count!!!

All you have to do is go onto your documents file, and go on to EA games, then the Sims 2, then music, then choose where you want your music to go (pop, rock, classical, etc.) If you have music on your computer (I suggest iTunes) then you drag the music into whatever particular music folder you want it in.. When you go on the Sims 2 next, buy them a radio, then tell them to switch it to whatever folder you dragged it into (pop, rock, classical, etc.) and sometimes, it doesn't play your music right away, so tell them to switch to next song, as many times as it takes for your music to play.. Have fun!

Press control-shift-c and the cheat box will pop up. Type in, without quotations, the following: "boolProp testingCheatsEnabled true". It is not case sensitive, I just put caps in there to make it easier to read.

It is best to enter that code in the neighborhood screen, but if you didn't, just save, exit and re-enter the house you were playing. Now the cheat will be in effect. You can control-click any want or fear you may have and it will register--you'll get your aspiration points (both for rewards and the meter) and another want or fear will replace it.

You can click and drag any selectable sim's motives anywhere you wish them. This also works for relationships, though keep in mind that it only affects the sim you selected and won't make friends for you. The click-and-drag also works for personalities and skill points, though maxing the skill this way, like anything else you do by this cheat, will not give you a memory.

You can also get a lot more options by shift-clicking the mailbox or shift-clicking your Sim (note that if you use the Tombstone of Life and Death to make friends, you won't get the friend icons unless you then interact with them), but since there are so many of them, I recommend this online resource:

I've tried many of them on my Mac OS X Sims game and all the ones I've tried work.

To turn it off, pull up the cheat window again and type in, without quotations, "boolProp testingCheatsEnabled false" (again not case sensitive), save, and re-enter the house.
