Command Console Cheats

NOTE: Some cheats use the command console while others are activated when you shift-click on a sim or object while others only work in the neighborhood view. These cheats are categorized by activation type.

First, bring up the cheat console by holding down the CTRL, SHIFT, and C keys on your keyboard at the same time.

This will open a box up at the top of your screen. This box is generally called thecheat box, command or cheat console. Type the cheat text in the box and hit ENTER.

If you don’t get the cheat box when you do CTRL, SHIFT, C, then see: Game Help:Cheat Box Won’t Appear

Don’t enter the brackets around the variables when you enter the cheat.

Example of entering a cheat:

Let’s say you want to use the constrainfloorelevation cheat. You’ll see that it’s listed as:

constrainFloorElevation [true/false]

The [ ] brackets mean that you pick one option – in this case true or false. So, to activate the cheat you would type:

constrainFloorElevation false

Remember that

you never type the [ ] brackets and only choose one option within them.

TestingCheats True To get these cheats to work, from within your game… Open the cheat console [Ctrl] + [Shift] + [C] Type: testingCheats true Then enter the whichever cheat you want to run from the list below. [Shift] + [CTRL] + [C] Will toggle the command window closed when you are finished entering the cheats.
