Debug mode

When in the "Create A Family" screen create an adult female, and for her name type Enter Fitrs N. A popup will appear on the top right stating "Create-a-sim is now in Debugging Mode". Enter it without assigning your Sim a last name. This gives you new clothing options, you can have your sims body be invisible, assign Fig Leaf Clothing, and use many other hidden secrets.

Money

Press [ctrl]+[alt]+[c] Then type in motherlode and !tada! the cheat has worked and your sims now have 50,000 simoleons more! Isn't that great?

Reset Sim or object

If your Sim or object is not working with anything, try doing this. It will reset what they are doing with no harm done. First, enable the boolProp testingCheatsEnabled true code Shift click on the Sim or object that is not working. Keep selecting the "More..." option until you find the "Force Error" selection. A box will appear. Select"Reset". This will cancel anything they are doing, no matter what.

Saving leftovers

To keep leftovers from spoiling, buy a food display case. When your Sim is finished eating his food, and there is still food remaining on the plate, go into buy mode. Pick up the plate and put it in the display case. The food will never go bad and you can pick it up in buy mode and put it on a counter, table, etc. for your Sim to eat more of it.

Sim lives forever

Build a servo after getting the Gold Badge in Robots. Then, kill the Sims you started with. The only person remaining will be the robot, and you can do everything that you could do with a Sim normally, even buying businesses and operating them.

Talents

While in live mode press ctrl+shift+c then type in Talents it should give you all talents.

Torture Room

Ok to make yourself a torture room make a family and move them into a city with lots of people in the town. Turn on the move all objects cheat (by pressing holding Ctrl, Shift, C and typing moveobjects_on) then make a second floor to your house without stairs or an elevator leading up to it. Then when neighbors come to visit you pick them up and put them in your torture room and don't put anything in there like a bed or toilet. It is hilarious watching all of the people interact. Also order groceries or a pizza or call the cops or firemen etc. to get more people in there.

Twins

To add some twins to your family, the medical powers of Cheesecake might be for you. Have a slice before you "Try For Baby" and you may be surprised with the results.
