You have to make it. I didn't have one before I made it. Most people don't.

I have my file on a webhost if you want some idea of what you can do with it:

http://members.chello.nl/b.kroonspecker/userstartup.cheat

Mine looks like this:


floatprop tvvolume .03

 alias moon "moveObjects on" "Enables the ability to move normally unmovable objects" ""
alias moof "moveObjects off" "Disables the ability to move normally unmovable objects" ""

alias snapoff "boolProp snapObjectsToGrid false" "Lets you move objects off the grid" ""
alias snapon "boolProp snapObjectsToGrid true" "Makes objects snap to the grid" ""

alias roton "boolProp allow45DegreeAngleOfRotation true"  "Lets you rotate objects"
alias rotoff "boolProp allow45DegreeAngleOfRotation false"  "Turns off rotate objects"

alias dorm "changeLotZoning dorm"  "Creates dorm"

alias comm "changeLotZoning community"  "Creates Community Lot"

alias res  "changeLotZoning residential"  "Creates Residential Lot"

Just make sure to replace the spaces with tabs. I had quite a few problems when setting my userStartup.cheat file because I didn't know that was necessary. I couldn't figure out why it wasn't working for a long time. (Or maybe this is obvious to everyone else and I am a moron. Whatever.)

I guess I'm more of a moron since I didn't even know you can use aliases.  So when I put my alias I tab, not space, then write the command then tab to write the "brief help".  Do I hit enter then to get to the next alias?

That should do it.

I've never used tabs in my userStartup.cheat file and have never had a problem.  I always use spaces.  All the examples I've ever seen also use spaces.  If you're having a problem with the file, you probably are doing something else wrong, like having a file named userStartup.cheat.txt which you can see by turning on all file extensions in your folder options.

Ditto, I just use spaces.
