Sims 2 User Startup Cheats: SHORTEN CHEAT CODES!

Рет қаралды 27,225

Күн бұрын

In this video, I'm showing you how to use Sims 2 User Startup Cheats to automatically enable cheats and to shorten your cheat codes! It makes life so much easier because you no longer have to type in long, cumbersome cheat codes or try to memorize them. You can shorten your Sims 2 cheats down to just a few letters and turn on others automatically when you start the game.

Here's an idea. I would love a video explaining and testing out every single testingcheatsenable mailbox and sim pie menu option. In my 17 years of playing this game, I've never really explored or figured out what they all do: *Mailbox* -Make NPC -Force Error -Make Cheat Object -Make Pet -Events -Slots -Other -Anims -House -Neighborhood *Sim* -Force Error -Dump Happy Log -Make Sim My Contact -Make Vampire -Make Furious with this Sim -DBG -Plan Outfit -Give Handheld Game -Add to Secret Society -Give MP3 Player -Give Cell Phone -Spawn -Toggle FBA On -Set Aspiration -Make Unselectable -Kill -Display -Debug Interaction -Social Debug -Set to Birthday -Change Suit -Change Fit

Amazing tutorial, Cindy! I made a cheat file recently and I have one tip to share: if you type a cheat wrong in the cheat file, all the cheats below it won't work, but only the ones below it. So if some of the cheats are not working but others are, just go through the file from bottom to top until you find a cheat that's working. The cheat below it will be the one mispelled.

Thank you for making this video. A long time ago I came across split level garages, and not only did that person give a tutorial on that, but "since you'll be using thes codes a lot, it'll be easier if you do this..." and of course, that was making the cheat file with aliases. There were some things I really didn't like about 3, and never got 4. Decided to give it another whirl... which came with the obligated multiday of finding and downloading mods and not even playing the game. 🤥 There are still some mods I remember but couldn't find. I had my own cheat file way back when, wasn't as comprehensive, as I only added as I needed them during construction. Even after all of these years I remembered that I had a file that I already enabled cheats and shortcuts (aliases) for the codes. I'm glad you have the video titles as you do. I think if it was named: Cheat Code aliases! my google of Short cheat codes wouldn't have worked.

Your videos are wonderfully detailed and full of information that I never knew about a franchise I treasure. I am so terribly sorry that hateful and scummy individuals have done this to such a special channel. You are only human. And you are a special human, please dont forget that. Please don't let their false opinions bring you down. I hope you are doing okay and are finding a new happiness. I miss you already.

My aliases are even shorter - I have M for move objects on for example, and m- to turn it off. I'd just like to add my two pieces of regular advice if people are having trouble with creating a file: 1. make sure the file is a CHEAT file and that your computer hasn't added on the .txt extension for you. It does that sometimes because you're using Notepad. Sometimes you have to turn on the option in Windows Explorer to show the file type. You can change it then - make sure it's '.cheat' at the end and not '.txt'. 2. watch the spellings of your cheats. If you make a mistake the game stops reading the file at that point so no other cheats after that point will work either.

This video isn’t particularly helpful to me, as I never use cheats in the Sims 2. Maybe I should start though. However I wanted to comment (to help your algorithm) and say that I really appreciate your thumbnails. SO MANY Sims content creators have such cringe thumbnails, with mouths agape and eyes super wide. It makes me not want to click play on their videos. Your thumbnails are typically just your pretty smile, and they are pleasant (ha) to see compared to most other content creators. Keep doing what you’re doing.

One thing to note is if people make or modify a downloaded cheat file and type in a cheat wrongly, that cheat and ALL the cheats that come after it will stop working. I also notice you don't have any of the uintProp number cheats that most of us have, are you using a different method? Also here is a fun random cheat for anyone who, like me, lives in a country where cars drive on the left it's "boolProp carsOnRight false" this will change the side of the road the cars in hood view will drive on. :)
