A cheat or hack that can hide thought/speech bubbles and the in game menu?

[Gnome]

I've been wanting to make a movie for a long time but thought/speech bubbles and the menu gets in the way.  Is there a cheat or hack that allows me to hide thought/speech bubbles and the in game menu (the menu that shows the Sims stats like motives, needs, personality, and everything else)?  I searched this board and the Sims 2 boards but was still unable to find it.

You can remove the menu using the Tab key. I think there's a cheat code to remove the bubbles (added in NL), but I can't remember what it is. If you don't have NL, download the "No Balloons Patch" from here.

You can remove the menu using the Tab key.

But is there a way I can remove the menu without the use of the tab key?

Uh, I might be misunderstanding, but if hitting the tab key does what you want.... Is your tab key broken?

Besides, tab gets you into free camera mode, which is shiny.

Tab or movie man mode is shiny but not as shiny if you dont have a joystick, unless you hack your camera settings for ultimate control.

If you are recording the video "in-game" you don't have to remove the menu.  It won't show in the video, just like it doesn't show in photos.

If you are recording with some kind of external software, you can remove the menu by pressing F10.  Press it again to get the menu back.
