Custom Cheats

Another thing that was sitting in my mod folder waiting to be posted. 

This mod requires the Core Library.

UPDATES:

20/07/2025 I had the main file updated for a while cause the zone modifiers from cottage living cheats were showing in the UI and weren't supposed to, but I forgot to post it. I also managed to stop the events from starting altogether, but the file needs to be installed before the BS starts, so I'll release that one once the next idiocy drops.

This mod add various cheats to the game across different packs (you don't need to have all the packs for the mod to work)

These are cheats, they require you to SHIFT+Click on the sim to appear.

BASEGAME

Under Romance Cheats:

• Chat Sexual Orientation : This allows you to change a sim's sexual orientation on the fly without entering CAS, including NPCs.

• Cheat Romantic Boundaries : This allows you to change a sim's romantic boundaries on the fly without entering CAS, including NPCs

HIGH SCHOOL YEARS

Under Maxis' Pie Menu (Pack Cheats):

• Graduation Cheats : This allows you to change a sim's graduation status, only young adults and up. I made this because all sims created in CAS and all the premades get "graduated with average rank" by default. With this cheat you can change that. Active sim only.

OCCULT CHEATS

Under Maxis' Pie Menu (Spellcaster/Werewolves cheats. I made a custom category for Vampires):

• Reset powers and ranks : same effect as the perk reset potion/drink. For vampires you can remove powers and weaknesses separately, this is useful to remove weaknesses from existing vampires if you have a mod that disables weaknesses.

• No Vampire Weaknesses : removes auto unlock of vampire weaknesses, to be used with the cheat above. There are many mods like this one around and will work as well with the cheat, so if you have another one that does the same, you don't need this.

STRANGERVILLE

Under Maxis' Pie Menu (Pack Cheats. I made a custom category for Strangerville):

• Set Narrative Act and get various investigation objects.

COTTAGE LIVING (Horse Ranch)

Under Pack Cheats -> EP 11 Cottage Living (Under EP 14 Horse Ranch if Cottage Living is not installed)

• Cheat Animals Lifespan
  
  
  
  This one's a bit complicated because I wanted something customizable on the spot instead of a global solution. Animals age is a mess to predict, if you're curious there is a pop-up in the mod that gives you the maths and helps you to guess how much you're slowing ageing down.
  
  The cheat can be run individually on the animals or on all the animals on lot by shift+click on a Sim.
  
  
  
  From the animal it will only change the decay rate for that animal, from the Sim it will affect all the animals present on the lot (but not the ones you'll get from that point on). The Sim must be inside the boundaries of the lot for the interactions to appear.
  
  The interaction that appears outside of the "Cheat Animals Lifespan" menu on the animals is empty, it only tells you what option is active on that animal.

  
  

FOR RENT

On the objects directly

• Added two interactions to restore power/water functionality to the water heater and fuse box when the utilities are shut down by another event (like NAPs, the Landgraab call, or the unpaid bills) that don't automatically come back on: this bug here.

I've been sick of Maxis' bugs for a while now and I'm not up to spend hours trying to fix their shit, so I'm just cheating my way around at this point. Interactions only appear when the bug is triggered and utilities are back on.

OTHER

Complete Live Event Quests

UPDATES: September Bullshit event (I could not test the cheat on the cracked game, the event didn't trigger... let me know if you get problems)

UNLOCKED REWARDS

I had already made a mod to unlock all the rewards (only shared on Discord) but now I'm also sick of this stupid UI

I can't wait 8 more days for it to fuck off. If you're like me and don't give a crap about Maxis events not even if they try to bribe you into engaging with the game THE WAY THEY WANT you to engage with rewards, and are just interested in the good old fashioned sandbox, this cheat is for you.

Instructions:

Put the mod in your mod folder, load the game, start a new save (it will take some time to run the cheat, don't do it in your main saves), go into live mode, shift click on your active Sim, look for this interaction:

Run it. The first set of quests will be complete. Wait one Sim minute then run the interaction again to complete the second set. Keep doing it until you cleared them all, waiting a minute between running the interactions.

Quit the game, remove the mod, done. All rewards will be unlocked, all the quests will be cleared and the UI will fuck the hell off. It's still a royal pain in the arse but way less than going around the game to complete this absolute shite.
