Code triche pour les besoins Sims 2

Let's start with the most important code, or at least the one you're most likely to be interested in: the cheat code for improving your Sims 2's needs to the max. It's quite short: maxMotives. Its field of action is quite vast, filling the needs of all Sims in the field (controllable or not).

aspirationPoints *num*Applies the chosen suction level to the selected Sim.
(*num* being equal to the number of points)
autoPatch on/offThis cheat code allows you to reactivate notifications informing you of the availability of updates for The Sims 2. In other words, it's no longer useful.

boolProp enablePostProcessing true/false Allows you to use post-processing cheat codes, very useful for making movies. Note that to use this cheat code, your graphics card must be able to shade the pixels (pixel shader technology). If you use it and your card does not have this technology, there is a good chance that your screen will turn partially black until you disable the enablePostProcessing cheat code. Display problems may also occur during the playback of cinematics if this code is enabled.

Vignette 0.5 0.5 1.0 is the maximum level of edge blurring. This code only works if you entered "boolProp enablePostProcessing true".

The boolprop testingcheatsenabled true

This is the code that will let you do the most things in The Sims 2. The testingcheatsenabled boolprop gives you access to dozens of interactions normally reserved for developers. This is one of the reasons why you need to be particularly careful when using it.

boolprop testingcheatsenabled true Sims 2

Everything is done by pressing the Shift key. Then click on a Sim to modify their aspiration, make them sick, kill them, add them to the household, etc. You can also make various debug objects appear, such as the genie's lamp and a whole host of ingenious devices that allow you to manage absolutely everything, even the smallest details of each Sim.

By clicking on the mailbox, you'll get interactions that let you manage the mood of the sims in the household or make friends.
