Testingcheats
Testing cheats can be used after testingcheats has been activated. This cheat has to be reactivated everytime the player change lots or re-load the game due to a bug.
Shift-Click
Various items or entities can be shift-clicked after the cheat has been enabled in order to access the hidden interactions.
Shift-Clicking Items
The player can reset every item in the game by shift-clicking it, then choosing "Reset Sim" (Debug). This is useful if an item gets stuck. This can also make the item dirty, or clean it if it's already dirtied. it can also "Set as Head" the object in question, which will make the Sim currently selected wear the object on his/her head.
Shift-Clicking Mailbox
Every action described is available under "Alter Needs" on the pie menu of the mailbox.
- Disable Needs Decay (world/household): Disables the decaying of motives such as Hunger and Bladder, household-wide or worldwide depending on the chosen action.
- Enable Needs Decay (world/household): Reverses the effect of Disable Needs Decay, otherwise does not change gameplay.
- Fill Needs (world/household): Fills the motives of every Sim worldwide or household-wide.
Shift-Clicking Household Sims
It allows the player to Disable/Enable Needs Decay or "Make Happy" (max every motive), similar to the Mailbox but exclusive to one Sim. it can also reset Sim like any item (in case of an error), or modify the Sim in CAS (limited editing, acts exactly like using a dresser or a mirror without additional cheats. Use the cheat cas.fulleditmode in order to unblock the whole potential of it).
Shift-Clicking Ground
The player can teleport the selected Sim anywhere in the playable part of the neighborhood.
Object Size Editing
Using Shift + ] while having an item selected in the Build Mode will allow the player to increase the size of it. Some items need to be moved to be updated to current size. Shift + [ will do the reverse, but only to the item's original size. Note that most items will bug when increased, or only increase the object's grid, so use at your own risk.
