Sims 3 Cheat Sheet and Sims Exchange

Basic and "Official" Sims 3 Cheat

• Press [control] [shift] [c]. Type " testingcheatsenabled true ".

Nothing will visibly happen. To activate cheat commands, shift click anything and play around carefully! Most useful commands such as refilling all need bars, making needs static (meaning they don't change), will be accessible by shift clicking your active household's mailbox.

Some things you can do in this mode:

• top off all need bars for everyone in the active household
• freeze all need bars for every in the active household
• hard change a sim's career and career level (if they do not have the qualifications, they will perform poorly at work)
• make a sim know everyone in the sim world
• teleport your sims almost anywhere
• buy/build on a community lot
• delete objects

No more spoilers. More fun to explore.  :) I personally use this to focus my time on getting through the content more quickly. You can only direct your sims to eat, sleep, bio and walk around so much before you get bored. At least for me.

Buy Special Items

• Press [control] [shift] [c]. Type " buydebug "

Opens a new tab with bug, fish, meteor and such spawners. Depends on which expansions you have, but may also include lifetime happiness objects such as weather changers, hoverbed, various magic gnome, various items usually not for purchase. I use this when I don't feel like walking all over the place to catch bugs etc. It's also nice to have if you'd like fish in a pond on your lot, though you technically can fill a pond without cheating as well.

Sharing My Main Household

I'd worked on my main household for countless hours. Fourleaf was played and uploaded with:

• World Adventures,
• Ambitions,
• Late Night,
• Generations and
• Pets. 

Stuff packs include:

• High-End Loft,
• Fast Lane,
• Outdoor Living.

 If you don't have some of the stuff packs, items will just be replaced by something you have (a fancy-schmancy bathtub would be replaced with one you have).

This household consists of:

3 female (young?) adults: Emma, Tenya, Maid
1 female toddler: forgot-her-name
1 horse: Seacookie
1 kitten: Satie
1 puppy: Preston

You can view and download via the official Sims3 exchange site.

I wanted to focus on exploring content while building character depth, so I kept romantic relationships out of the picture to keep the three "tight." The main characters possess large and diverse skill sets - most of which are maxed out - include nectarmaking, writing, martial arts, photography, sculpting, guitar, gardening, fishing, painting, and some other skill sets.

Biography

Emma is more of a humanities type because I had my fill of the exact opposite with a super-scientist-tinkerer-and-stuff couple years ago (a male and female robot eventually joined their family). She first hit level 10 writer profession, but upon uploading, that history is lost, so she's a sculptor right now. She's closest to Satie the kitten.

Tenya focused on a life of balance and martial arts. At some point, she had too much time to think, and now she's a level 10 mastermind in the criminal career track, earning the golden fox item that grants her +mood for admiring it. She's the disciplined, athletic and composed type and enjoys being outdoors. She's closest to Seacookie the horse, and in a now-lost save file, she was level 10 riding.

Maid is ... well you know. Actually, since she's done her duties so well and hit level 10 in the gardening profession, she was able to become a level 10 head chef person dude, earning the family a fancy fridge in which food never spoils. Additionally, being in the same room as the fridge gives you a +moodlet for a few hours, and since the kitchen and living area in the room is connected, you can bet that happens a lot.

The House

This lot features an extensive garden-garden. I don't mean flowers and stuff, I mean like fruits and veggies. Most of the crops are perfect-quality, though it seems the crops version I uploaded have just excellent and outstanding qualities as well, making this household perfect for those who want to start off somewhere higher and have room to grow. Crops include cheese plants, death plant, life fruit, flame fruit, the ones from world adventures as well as the usual lot.

To recap features:

• one complete artifacts set from World Adventure
• several incomplete sets
• completed tomb obstacles, this and all the above obtained via exploring legit tomb raiding
• character with complete recipes up to Pets
• perfect-quality garden, with some missing as a result of extended game play / didn't feel like planting constantly
• inventory with plenty of high quality crops, fish, gems, travel items
• huge wine cellar area that instantly fulfills a bottomless cellar lifetime wish (tested myself)
• photos throughout the house with photos and paintings taken by the sims who live there.
