Getting A Bit Trickier: Cheats Explained

I mentioned some cheats for more advanced players of the game. But if you are struggling to get to grips with what the cheat initially does, here's a little support:

First of all, The Max Skills Cheat - This cheat is quite simple, basically this cheat allows you to have maximum skills without all the studying! If your having problems with the cheat or its not working, be sure to check the following:

1. Make sure you have activated the cheat in the NEIGHBOURHOOD VIEW, sometimes the cheat doesn't work if you do it on a family screen.
2. Make Sure you haven't paused the game by going into build or buy mode, check to make sure you have paused the game by pressing "P".

Next, Cloning your Sims - This cheat is a bit complicated, so here a few tips:

1. Make sure you only clone up to 5 different Sims, Too many Sims can slow the Game down.
2. Don't try and clone, Clones, it certainly isn't healthy for the game.

Now, Ageing Cheats - This cheat can make or ruin the game for you, so make sure you do the following:

1. Type the WHOLE cheat using LOWER CASE letters, you are penalised for your punctuation in this game.
2. Remember the "-" without this, the cheat won't work. Make sure you haven't pressed "Shift" and accidentally made your "-" into a "_".

Inviting more Sims - Sometime people go overload and invite the whole neighbourhood around! Be careful:

1. DO NOT invite more than 20 Sims over at one time, too many Sims=Very slow Game!

Placing Items outside Grid - Sometimes people think they can just place items willy nilly, but take care, you could BREAK THE GAME!!!

1. NO doors/windows/stairs etc outside the grid, both you and your Sims will get very confused.
2. Be carefull when placing items like chairs and tables outside the grid, your Sims may get stick behind them.

Nude Sims- taking away the blurring for some is fun, however it can cause porblems, make sure you:

1. Re-Pixelate Sims before your exit the game.
2. Only de-Pixelate Controlablle Sims

I Hope these tips and tricks will help you improve you gameplay and get you on your way to becmoming a Sims 2 Pro. Happy Simming!
