Whats in your UserStartup.cheat File?

[Gamblor]

Just wondering what everybody is using in their startup cheat file at this moment so I have an idea on which ones I should use in mine. Do they need to be in a certain order on the list to work correctly? Will some cheats stayed enabled do damage to the game?

I am going through the cheats list at Snooty Sims and trying to decide which ones will be most useful in my game that I should add in. Any Awesome ideas about this topic would most defiantly help me out on my quest.

Thxs Zazazu Thats an awsome setup you have for the userstartup cheat. However I may drop the visiting sims down to 12 since I think my card won't handle 30. I have a hack that allows 12 sims on each lot only will the maxTotal cheat over write it? One last question what is the faceblendlimits cheat do?

[Zazazu]

I keep thinking about popping the visiting sims up to 40. I love packed community lots, and my computer giggles at everyone's problems.

I'm not 100% sure about the maxTotal cheats overwriting. When in doubt, remove and go by the instructions of the hack you have. Mine is based off of Jordi's LotFullofSims.

Faceblendlimits...if that's set to on (default) then children born will be skewed towards the facial templates, either EAxis or any set of defaults you may have if present. This can provide some unexpected results if you have a genetic blend that doesn't closely resemble any of your templates. A big issue for me...I have six or so sets of face replacements that I switch in and out.

Mine's pretty simple...

I alter the walls text to allow submersion and unlevel top & bottom, also.

Need to find a good camera script for close-ups...

Edit: the alias must allow for abbreviated entry of the command...haven't seen that before.

No worries, I stole mine from MikeInside - the originator of the idea - and from Jordi who published his first.

mmm...nope. Still get the same error message..but thanks for trying.

Try a different alias? Maybe 'mon' is something reserved in the game?

[SickPuppy]

Try a different alias? Maybe 'mon' is something reserved in the game?

At first I tried 5 different cheats using the alias precursor...none worked. Then I used only one to simplify before posting here. Tried various forms...nogo.

I'm starting to suspect it's the alias command itself. Perhaps they removed that functionality for XP sp1 in one of the expansion packs. I've come across a few programs that won't install to sp1, but never noticed anything that installed, operating improperly.

Meh, alias is only a convenience feature, anyway...I've mostly memorized the cheats I use frequently

Try copying from any of the above UserStartup.cheat contents to your UserStartup.cheats. May be there is something wrong in your syntax. If it works, remove those you don't need and change the keyword alone.

[Magicmoon]

And make sure your file is named userstartup.cheat

Make sure there is no .txt on the end. You have to unhide extensions in Windows to be able to see if .txt is appended to the end of the file. Extensions are hidden by default.

Is unlockcareerrewards a valid cheat for use in the userstartup file? I thought this one could only be used inside lots. Try removing it; if it is invalid than everything after that line will be disregarded.

Here's my current userstartup.cheat file. I have yet to go through and steal from all of yours. Also I recently started my game from scratch and forgot to back up the cheat file so it's probably still missing some things I used to use, for example i used to have every acceptable value for the roof angle cheats (whole numbers anyway, not sure if it allows decimals) instead of just multiples of 5. Which is odd considering the fact that I've never used either of them even once.

Code:

boolProp testingCheatsEnabled true

boolprop ShowCatalogePFlags true
boolProp allow45DegreeAngleOfRotation true
setHighestAllowedLevel 16
intProp maxNumOfVisitingSims 20
