Katching and motherlode works in the sims3 because I use the motherlodecheat in the sims3 so i know it works.

I don't have sims 3 yet, Dec, but a lot of those aren't S2 cheats.

Example:

Sims 2 cheat: boolProp snapObjectsToGrid true/false
Sims 3 cheat: disableSnappingToSlotsOnAlt [on or off]

Sims 2 cheat: showHeadlines on/off
Sims 3 cheat: hideHeadlineEffects [on or off]

Shit Ctrl C and then type motherlode when your in the familyhome.

and if there is a house you like for your sims juts type the cheat free realestate.

I haven't tried them all but I know some of them work. You don't need boolprop anymore with the sims 3 though.

testingcheatsenabled true

this allows you to shift click mailbox to max ur needs, make them static, and choose career(note: using the career option won't complete your lifetime wish).  Also you can shift click sim and have them grow up.

Forgot to also add you can have your sim selected and anywhere in neighborhood you can shift click ground and have them teleport their, nice when ur out collecting.

One thing to keep in mind when you shift+click an unselectable Sim:

If you do plan to make the unselectable Sim selectable to check the needs and wishes, you won't be able to unselect the Sim again. The "Make Selectable" option in Sims 3 is not the same as in Sims 2, meaning that in Sims 2, you can make a Sim selectable to adjust the needs, check the wants/fears and personality and then make the Sim unselectable. In Sims 3, that option makes the previously unselectable Sim a permanent member of your current household.

I found this out the hard way when I made Don Lothario selectable to check him out and had no option to make him unselectable because I unwittingly made him a permanent member of my Sim's household.

So, do be careful with the "Make Selectable" option when you shift+click a visiting Sim.

Also do you have to press Shift+CTRL+ C at the same time?


Title: Re: Cheats
Post by: Chaavik on June 04, 2009, 03:45:50 pm
Shift+Control+C brings up the command window just like in Sims 2. Shift+Control+Click lets you bring up the pie menu of hidden options on an object or a Sim just like in Sims 2.

BUT the commands are subtly different for Sims 3 because boolprop isn't needed to use the commands.

*Shift* Ctrl C and then type help and the cheat list comes up.  If you do that while in CAS you get two extra cheats in the window, 1. The option to make your son or daughter into an NPC ... I forgot the other one 2blush

please? pretty please??


Title: Re: Cheats
Post by: DaSpecial1 on June 05, 2009, 03:27:15 am
I agree Ali, especially since there is no use for it in Sims 3.  It doesn't indicate anything in that game.


Title: Re: Cheats
Post by: Cathy on June 06, 2009, 09:03:39 am
Is there something like MaxMotives?


Title: Re: Cheats
Post by: DaSpecial1 on June 06, 2009, 09:55:35 am
If there is it hasnt been uncovered yet; "testingcheatsenabled true"  is the only way for now.

J.M. Pescado, has a working mod over at MATY, that fixes lots of annoying things in the game, and also makes use of several things such as more CAS slider options, maxmotives, no moving away families, no babies being randomly spawned without the relationship of TWO parents amoungst many other cool things, but I can't think of the link right off hand :-\


Title: Re: Cheats
Post by: Chaavik on June 10, 2009, 03:56:41 am
Yep, this is the link to Pescado's Awesome mod (http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,15185.0.html).

Caveat emptor:

READ (Really really) the directions how to install the mod(s) from that thread very very carefully.

I thought I'd post this here since a quick search of the phrase "editme" didn't turn up anything in any other threads.  I apologize before hand if this has been posted elsewhere, but for those who are saying "Edit in CAS" isn't working for them, I'd suggest trying "editme".  I does exactly what the "Edit in CAS" cheat has been described as doing.
