The Sims 2 has fans not only among girls, as many believe. Admirers are also found among the male population. The game not only allows you to simulate various situations, but also opens up endless possibilities for creativity, because user-generated content is very popular. TS2 can be played without any codes. Many people say that it is even more interesting this way - to overcome difficulties, save money for new furniture or build another floor, but in some cases you simply cannot do without codes.
Instructions
Step 1
Codes in TS2 are entered through the console. To call the console, simultaneously press Ctrl and Shift and while holding them, press the "C" key. A code line will appear at the top of the screen, into which you will need to enter the code. When you have finished entering the code, press the Enter key. To hide the code line, you must press the Esc key. The effect of codes typed through the console is reset upon exiting the game or (in some cases) upon exiting the lot.
Step 2
Codes entered through the console are activated and deactivated by the corresponding commands: false / true, on / off. They can be entered either manually or by Copy-Paste. For the latter option, you need to minimize the game by simultaneously pressing the key combination alt="Image" and Tab, copy the code from the source and return to the game, paste it into the line of codes (Ctrl + V).
Step 3
You can also enter codes using the userStartup.cheat file. It is located in the My Documents folder of EA GamesThe Sims 2Config and is edited using a text editor (Notepad). If the file is not at the specified address, you can create it yourself using the same notepad. The codes entered into the file will be in effect permanently (you do not need to enter the codes manually each time you start the game).
Step 4
There are many codes in TS2 that can be used to solve different problems. For example, placing furniture and decorative objects on a lot is much easier and more interesting if you activate the moveobjects (on / off) code, which allows you to place objects in places not provided by the game. And with the boolprop snapobjectstogrid (true / false) code, you can unlink objects from the game grid, which will allow you to place objects anywhere, not just exactly in the center of the game cell.
Step 5
There are codes in the game for construction and design, for controlling the actions of a sim, his age, height, mood. There are codes to help hide or create certain visual effects, which are useful when shooting with a camera or for capturing images with third-party programs. A list of all codes can be found on thematic forums, some codes can be found by entering the word "Help" in the console.
