Be warned, though: entering too many cheats can corrupt your game, so save regularly.

The Sims 2 debug mode and life hacks

Not every explot in The Sims 2 requires you to type a magic phrase into the cheat console; there are some useful life hacks you can use without touching a single cheat.

For example, you can have your own music in The Sims 2. Open up MyDocuments>EAGames>TheSims2>Music>Radio station genre , and copy and paste your chosen MP3 track into the folder. Load The Sims 2 back up and go to the radio station you put your music into and it’ll play whenever you use that station.

There’s also the Free Pizza trick. Order a pizza but don’t collect it from the delivery person. Eventually, they will leave the pizza outside your door and you can stack them. They don’t go stale and your Sim will have free pizza.

On the complete opposite end of the spectrum, you can enable debug mode to manipulate the game even further from objects placed within the world. Enter boolProp testingCheatsEnabled true/false into the cheat console and you’ll enable debug mode .

While in this mode, you can spawn Tombstone of Life and Death, Rodney’s Death Creator, and other objects. You can also manipulate a Sims skill levels, personality, relationships and motives by dragging sliders up and down.

When in Create-a-Sim, you can also press Shift + N before creating your first Sim to unlock more skin tones, clothes and hairstyles that would normally only be used by NPCs. Shift+Click on a Sim in Live Mode to bring up the debug menu for more fun.
