boolprop basics
If you turn on boolprop in the neighborhood, in CAS you can press Shift + N to unlock
all NPC clothing and NPC career clothing as well as the
alien skin and the
mannequin skin (pressing Shift+M hides all of the stuff again).
The
mannequin skin should be avoided unless you have -
this- fix from MTS2. The game will crash if a Sim with mannequin skin tries to give birth.
Increasing/Decreasing your skills/aspiration/needs/personality/relationships:
[These will only work if you entered the cheat while in the neighborhood. If you didn't, you will need to save, exit to neighborhood, enter the cheat, and then re-enter the lot you were playing on.]
Skills: Left click on the bar of the desired skill you want to increase/decrease and drag the cursor in the direction you want. [Right to increase, left to decrease.]
Increase/
Decrease Needs: Left click on the bar of the desired need you want to increase/decrease and drag the cursor in the direction you want. [Right to increase, left to decrease.]
Increase/
Decrease Personality Points/
Change Zodiac Sign:Left click on the bar of the desired personality trait you want to increase/decrease and drag the cursor in the direction you want. [Right to increase, left to decrease.] As you change the personality points, you will see your sim's zodiac sign change accordingly.
Increase all sims needs (
Including Visitors of the current lot): Shift click [Hold Shift and click] and click
Make All Happy.
Increase/
Decrease Aspiration: Shift click on the sim and choose
*Set Aspiration... You will receive several options to change your aspiration level and what type of aspiration they have (Fortune, Family, Popularity, etc.).
Get Easy Aspiration Points: Press CTRL and click on any want your sim has to fill it. You will get the points and your sims aspiration meter will rise. Also works for your sims fears but you will lose points and go into
aspiration failure if done several times (could be great for stories, though!).
Increase/
Decrease Relationships: Left click on the bar of the desired relationship (either Daily or Lifetime) you want to increase/decrease and drag the cursor in the direction you want. [Right to increase, left to decrease.]
Useful if you want to increase/decrease your relationship with only one or a few sims instead of many.
Making Friends/Adding Neighbors to your family/Getting more than 8 sims in a household/Other Family-related options:
You will need the
Tombstone of Life and Death. To get it; shift-click on any sim and click
*Spawn... then find and click the option
*Tombstone of L and D. And a mailbox, which you should have anyways. o_O
Inviting the entire neighborhood to your lot: Shift click the Mailbox and select
*Invite All Neighbors.
I would not recommend doing this if you have a large neighborhood or a slow system. It can severely slow down your game or possibly make it crash.
Know Everyone/
Be friends with everyone: Shift click on the mailbox and choose
Make Me Know Everyone which will make you their acquaintance with a relationship of 25/25.
If you choose
Make Friends for Me it will make all of your acquaintances have a mutual relationship of 55/55.
[To my knowledge, it does not affect anyone that already has a relationship higher than 55/55 with your sim.]
Also, 'Make Me Know Everyone' should only be used if you're absolutely desperate to get friends for a promotion. Your phone rings constantly and it's really a hassle. So buy a fire/burglar alarm and sell your phone if you decide to use it and buy the phone when you really need one. Cell phones will ring all the time too, so they aren't really a great alternative.Increase your friendship score with someone on your lotClick on the
Tombstone of L and D, click
More, then click
Make Me Friendly to Everyone Here which will set your relationship with everyone on the lot (including visitors) to 90/90.
Getting More than 8 Sims in one Household:
The Sims 2 Database
You can add visitors to your household or create entirely new sims. You can keep adding them as well, there is no limit. Once you pass 8 however, your sim can no longer get pregnant, you can only get new babies by clicking on the Tombstone.
To add existing visitors, click on the Tombstone of Life & Death, then click Add to Family, then choose from the options which visitor you want to add. You will see that you can add anyone even teenagers and children with this option, that you wouldn’t normally be able to invite. If you want to add NPC teenagers you will need to invite them over then add them to the family.
To add a randomly generated sim click on the Tombstone of Life & Death and select from the options available such as
* New Adult Female,
* New Adult Male
* New Child Girl
* New Child Boy
* New Teen Female
* New Teen Male
* New Toddler Boy
* New Toddler Girl
* New Elder Male
* New Elder Female
* New Baby
To choose the sex of the baby you need to click on an opposite sex sim, for instance if you make the active sim a male then choose New baby you will get a Girl, if you make the active sim a female then choose New Baby you will get a Boy. The name will automatically default to Baby Boy or Baby girl, but don’t worry; you can use the Tombstone to change their name.
There are other options for adding new members to the family on the Tombstone of Life and Death
* Get Family Member
* Add Neighbor to Family
Re-
Naming your sim,
without using SimPE!: Click on the sim you want to re-name by clicking their icon on the left. Then click on the
Tombstone of L and D, choose
More, then
Rename Sim. A box similar to when your sim has a baby will pop up with your sims current name and you can edit it as you like.
Very useful if you're like me and try to speed up the birthing process and end up naming your kid "3Tom". xP
Re-
Naming Babies: First you need to make the baby selectable. While you have another sim active, shift click the baby and choose
Make Selectable. The baby's icon will disappear from the list, so you will have to re-shift click on the baby and choose
Make Selectable again. The baby's icon should reappear and be selectable. Make the baby sim active by clicking on it's icon and click the
Tombstone of L and D, choose
More, then
Rename Sim. A box similar to when the baby was born will pop up with your sims current name and you can edit it as you like. Also, while the baby is selectable you can view and change it's needs or personality trait points.
Pregnancy Options
For these options you will need to Spawn the
Tombstone of L and D by shift clicking your sim and clicking
Spawn, then
More, then
Tombstone of L and D.
You will also need a
telescope for abductions, it doesn't matter which one you choose.
There are two options with
Tombstone of L and D to get pregnant. You will see them when you click on it, and choose
More.
Get pregnant with... gives you a list of current household members and lot visitors (Including NPCs) that your sim can become pregnant with; including relatives of any age. It works for both male and female sims.
Make me Alien Pregnant: Allows either gender adult sim to be pregnant with an alien baby.
Note that both of these options only work for Adults unless you have InTEENimator or other hacks.There is also an option on the
More menu of
Tombstone of L and D that forces your sim to give birth within 2-3 hours of becoming pregnant. [
Time does vary, but it will happen soon.]
Alien Abduction:
Shift click on any telescope on the lot and choose
DEBUG Get Abducted. Your sim will use the telescope and get abducted. They will be gone for approximately three sim hours [three minutes] male sims will return pregnant, but female sims will not.
