- buydebug - Be sure to have being entered "testingCheatsenabled true" before using this, as this is a secondary cheat, otheriwse you wouldn't get any result. It allows you to buy new objects that are normally hidden from a catalog. Shows the new catalog section marked by "?", that you can browse in. It allows you to place seeds or gems spawners on your selected lot or to buy magic gnomes and other objects usually not shown in the catalog... On your ground, it will also unhide the objects that remain hidden from the gamer's view in a normal game mode (the aforesaid spawners and some other different hidden objects). Type "buydebug off" if howerever you don't want the buydebug mode to remain enabled for your current game session.
- FamilyFunds -To add a specific amount of Simoleons, enter TestingCheatsEnabled true (if it isn't already done) and then FamilyFunds followed by the family name, and then the amount of money. Not only for the selected household. For example, you would add some money to the family wich's name is Keaton:
TestingCheatsEnabled true [Enter]
FamilyFunds Keaton 10000000 [Enter] This may not work if you have more than one househould with a same name in your town. - disableSnappingToSlotsOnAlt [on or off] When on, ojects will not snap to slots while holding ALT, then you will be able to place the chairs near a table without them being snapping to this table or and when placing some modular objects (exemple: as counters near other counters to avoid the modular effect) etc.
- moveObjects [on or off] Removes limitations for placing / moving objects. Then hand tool can move any object, sim or animal in buy and build modes or place it in every location on your lot. If you need to simply disallow the game's placement grid or rotate the object as you want (disallows also preset placement degrees) you can also just press ALT (doesn't need cheat console to be opened or an another cheat before) while moving or rotating your selected object. You can combine these 2 cheats in the same time and it's really recommended. New expansions packs will add new objects to your game's Buydebug's list.
- constrainFloorElevation[ true or false ] Allows terrain adjustments regardless of objects/Sims/etc on them. Useful when building. However, placing new walls/floors will still flatten terrain, and placing objects will still require the terrain to be flat initially if the objects normally require it, however to place your objects as you want simply set "moveObjects on".
- snapObjectsToAngle [true or false] Snap or not the objects to angle. If "true" is given, the objects placement behavior is normal. If "false" is given, then by default, objects do not snap to 45 degree angles when rotating them (and holding “Alt” will snap them to the 45 degree angles). (Becomes obsolete with the last updates of the sims 3 game, don't take care if when, pressing ALT, you will be able to rotate your object on 360 degree angles)
- snapObjectsToGrid [true or false] Toggles how objects snap to the grid. If "true" is given, the objects placement behavior is normal. If false is given, then by default, objects do not snap to the grid (and holding “Alt” will snap them to the grid). (Becomes obsolete with the last updates of the sims 3 game, you may don't use this cheat if when, pressing ALT, you will be able to place your object avoiding the snapping of it to the grid)
- enablellamas [on or off] unkown result. Most surely just a joke from the game developpers. Once you enter it in the cheat console, it will say "Llamas Enabled" and nothing looks to be happen.
- fadeObjects [on or off] Toggles whether objects fade when the camera gets close to them. Does not affect Sims.
- fullscreen [on or off] Turns on / off fullscreen.

- unlockOutfits [on or off] This must be entered before going into CAS. Shows career outfits and service uniforms or some different hidden clothing (as some medieval clothing (needs: Ambitions EP)) or accessories (also there you will see the vampire fangs as accessory or a deer coat for your horse).

- recordvideo small/medium/large low/moderate/high/max Starts recording video with specified size and quality.
- [up arrow] cheat - Open the cheat console, then press Up arrow button. It recalls the last cheat (only) typed into this window. Example: if you have entered "kaching" or "motherlode" as cheat before, you will see this cheat be reappear in your console, then press ENTER to reuse your cheat. If you reset the sims game, it deletes the cheat that you have entered before, so you will be unalable to use this option before you enter some new cheat.
- Forcetwins: If you have a pregnant sim and you wish that she will have twins, you must select her, then open the cheat console. After that, enter this code and finally she will have two babies born instead of one.
- Shazaam: Gives 2,500 Lifetime Happiness Points to your active Sim (official site). (There are some problems with this cheat, so probably, it may work for your sim or instead of this, wouldn't make any significant changes).
