More Awesome Than You!

His site is down, could anyone tell me again where to find his cheats tutorial, or tell me where to put paste the cheats, they are so convenient.

My Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2\Config. It's the userStartup.cheat, I believe.

I have no problem accessing the site.

I believe the Mike Inside site also has a forum. You'd be much better off posting questions about the tutorials there at their forum. We're helpful, but we aren't Tech Support For All Of Sims 2.

Of course, if the site is down, then you probably couldn't access their forums...

The original poster couldn't get to the site and that's why they posted here. Kinda hard to post in a forum when you can't reach it.  :-\

 :o I went to check out Mikes forum last night.  He stated that there were X amount of members, but none were on-line.  Granted, I didn't register, was only there as a guest but whats the point if nobody's home??  I think I'll stick to MATY.

Here is my set based on his if you're interested:

alias m "moveObjects on" "Enables the ability to move normally unmovable objects" ""
alias m- "moveObjects off" "Disables the ability to move normally unmovable objects" ""

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

alias f "boolprop constrainFloorElevation false" "Enables the ability to change terrain even when there is a building on it" ""
alias f- "boolprop constrainFloorElevation true" "Disables the ability to change terrain even when there is a building on it" ""

alias t "boolprop testingCheatsEnabled true" "Enables a lot of hidden features that can be accessed by holding shift when clicking on objects" ""
alias t- "boolprop testingCheatsEnabled false" "Disables a lot of hidden features that can be accessed by holding shift when clicking on objects" ""

alias 45 "boolProp allow45DegreeAngleOfRotation true" "Enable 45 degree rotation" ""
alias 45- "boolProp allow45DegreeAngleOfRotation false" "Enable 45 degree rotation" ""

alias makeres "changeLotZoning residential" "Change lot zoning to residential"
alias makecom "changelotzoning community" "Change lot zoning to community"
alias makegreek "changelotzoning greek" "Change lot zoning to greek house"
alias makedorm "changelotzoning dorm" "Change lot zoning to dorm"
alias makesec "changelotzoning secretsociety" "Change lot zoning to secret society"

alias dtoolsf "boolprop dormSpecificToolsdisabled false" "Allow editing of dorms that are in play"
alias dtoolst "boolprop dormSpecificToolsdisabled true" "Remove the ability to edit in play dorms"

alias party "intProp maxNumOfVisitingSims 50" "Allows you to throw big parties when activated on the neighbourhood screen" ""

alias ten "sethighestallowedlevel 20" "Up to 20 levels for buildings"

To use them, cut and paste the list into My Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2\Config\UserStartup.cheat, start the game and load a lot. You can then type the word that resides directly after the word "alias". You can access the list by typing "help" in the command box (ctrl+shift+C).

Cheers!

I think you have to manually create the file.  Just pasting the list into Wordpad will do, just make sure that it ends in .cheat and not .doc or whatever, else it won't work.

C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\The Sims 2 Nightlife\TSData\Res\Config\globalStartup.cheat

If you only have Uni, access the The Sims 2 University and not the NL folder, same for the original game. Access the folder for the latest game installed.

Open it in Notepad and paste what you need.

I've attached mine and it includes all useful cheats.

Guide:

m = moveobjects on
m- = move objects off
s = snapobjectstogrid true
s- = snapobjectstogrid false
t = testingcheatsenabled true
t- = testingcheatsenabled false
45 = allow 45 degree angle rotation
45- = doesn't.
party = makes max number of sims allowed on lot to 50
skyscraper = makes highest level 15
dt = dormtools on
dt- = dormtools off


[404'ed!]

oooo! *copies radiophonic's aliases*!!

well I don't have much in my userstartup.cheat file and the two I do have in it, I don't turn off


floatProp tvVolume 0.1
faceBlendLimits off


until I found out about the tv volume one I rarely let my sims even own a tv because they were just way too loud!

*slaps forehead* Right, of course. Posting when I'm tired is a stupid idea, obviously.

My set:

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

I just added a bunch to mine  ::)

I asked myself why I keep typing them all out when I don't have to, granted some I don't use much but some I hardly use (like the dorm tools one) because I can't remember the exact spelling and/or don't feel like typing it *laughs*


I'm curious as to why Kingdom uses a "globalStartup.cheat" rather then the usual "userstartup.cheat", whats the difference? (other then where you stick the file)

I was under the impression that you shouldn't mess with the global one in Program Files, but just create the User one in My Docs. *shrug* I've no idea if it really matters or not.

I think the global one applies to all user accounts. When the censorgrid cheat worked I had to put it in the globalstartup.cheat file to get it to work, for some reason.

Placing those strings in the global file will cause the "cheats" to be used by all user accounts on the machine.
Placing them in the file that resides in "My Documents" makes them available to the owner of the "My Documents" folder only.

Did that make sense? I'm still working on my first cup of coffee.

Edit: I see someone beat me to it.  :D

To access a list of cheats, while in your game try typing in your cheat window            help -all   
It's pretty helpful as you don't have to exit the game.

Gotcha. Ergo, it wouldn't matter for me since my husband wouldn't touch the Sims if you paid him... ::)

Thank you, everyone! I could never remember the whole command.
