The Sims 3 Testing Cheats - testingcheatsenabled true
How to use the Sims 3's testing cheats for PC/Mac:
To access the rest of the cheats in the Sims 3, type the console command testingcheatsenabled true. This will allow you to press shift and click various locations and items to bring up special commands. I'll list some of them here:
Ground
Teleportation
This will really take some travel time off your Sim's commute! Shift-click any open patch of ground with testing cheats enabled, and your Sim can instantly teleport, star trek style, to that location. Use it for collecting, to get to your favorite fishing spot, or any number of other ways. Get creative! With World Adventures you can zip to and fro without cheating, although not as quickly, by using Zeneport and Tranquil Transference.
Mailbox
Make Your Sim Know Everyone
Yep, you can shift-click the magic mailbox to allow your Sim to know every other Sim in the town you're playing. Realize that it must add all the townsfolk to your list of known Sims, so it may take a while for the cheat to finish processing.
Make Everyone Happy
Your Sims can throw some awesome parties with this cheat! When activated, every Sim at your party, or present in your house will be made very happy. Use it to fix a Sim that's in a seriously grumpy mood.
Unlimited Needs Bar: Make Needs Static
When you use this, your Sim's needs will be locked. Your Sim's needs bar will fill up, and they will never decrease while it's enabled. To disable this, go back to the mailbox and click make needs dynamic.!
The Sims 3 Skills Cheats
The above link will show you how you might use these cheats to raise skills in The Sims 3.
Make Me Friends
Clicking this throws you a few random friends. Again, not that important but it could be useful as a cheat if you want to raise your charisma by reading or using the mirror, but don't want to have to satisfy the friend requirements of the skill. It'll also help with the Super Popular Lifetime Wish and the Charisma Challenges.
Explore Careers
You can change your Sim's current job and even give them a promotion to the top level in that career track. Check out the different special abilities your Sim earns for reaching the top spot. Look to the Career Guide for information on the perks your Sims gain as they climb to the top of each career ladder.
Clicking your Sim
Modify Traits:
Clicking this will bring up the traits list for your Sim. You can then clear them all out, and have a mid-life crisis without paying all those lifetime reward points. This is very cool if you have a super Sim you want to be able to try different traits with. It's excellent for experimentation.
Trigger Age Transition
This can make a Sim age to the next life cycle, which follows this pattern: Baby, Toddler, Child, Teen, Young Adult, Adult, Elder. You can't go backward. In fact, I don't think there is a way to age down Sims at all. The closest you can come to saving an elder Sim is to feed them ambrosia or disable aging (see above).
Take Control of Another Sim
If you Shift-click a Sim who's not in your house with the testing cheats on, you can take control of them and immediately have them join your household. Use this for devious reasons, or to avoid editing families. It's a fast and seamless way to add to your family.
Clicking a Work Site
Force Events and Opportunities
If you shift-click your Sim's place of work, you can force events to occur. These vary from job to job. What you're triggering is one of the random events that may happen while a Sim is at work. Additionally, you can trigger job opportunities this way. Use it to help your Sim get promotions faster by forcing the opportunities that help them advance. Unfortunately, I'm not aware of any way to force skill and special events. Sorry, no way to cheat to get the ability to grow the omni plant, you'll have to work for it a bit!
Non-Shift Click Testing Cheats
Remove Moodlets
If you hold control while the testing cheats are enabled, you can remove nasty moodlets. You can, in fact, remove any moodlet with this cheat. You can use it to remove the fatigued moodlet after working out, so the Sim can get back on the treadmill, or remove the frightened moodlet that appears when your Sim has been chased out of the catacombs by a zombie bear!
Modify a Sim's Needs
With testingcheats enabled, you can click a Sim's needs bar to raise or lower them. Drag the bar and it should fill or deplete. This can be ultra-handy for parents of triplets trying to get all three potty trained! It's also good if you really need your Sim in top form to complete an opportunity but they're hungry, or tired and won't cook the meals that need to be delivered the next day. Its applications are many, and can be considered a lightweight version of the make needs static cheat.
Make Friends (or Enemies)
If you go into the relationship pane with these cheats enabled, you'll also be able to drag relationship bars. You can make someone a best friend or even a nemesis this way. To make them a love interest, drag their bar to full, invite them over then have your Sim start the romantic interactions.
Infinite Lifetime Rewards (Lifetime Happiness Points)
Make your Sim and get them into their house. Save the game once they're moved in, then head back to the main menu. Before you load your Sims 3 saved game again, open the cheat console (Control + Shift + C) and type testingcheatsenabled true. Once you load your Sims game, the testing cheats will still be on. This will allow you to go to the lifetime rewards tab, then control click in the area around the treasure chest icon. The game should be unpaused to do this, or it may appear to not be working. Each click will give your Sim an additional 500 lifetime happiness points. Click away, you've got infinite reward points to spend! Go out and snag that Food Replicator.
If you for some reason need or want to turn off the Sims 3 testing cheats, type testingcheatsenabled false.
