The Sims franchise is one of the most famous real-life game simulators. The Sims 3, for example is one of the most popular games in this series. With enough content released to date and several extras, sometimes the player may prefer an easier way to unlock everything that title offers. Thinking about it, here’s a list of the top cheats for The Sims 3.
The game has won versions for various platforms, but the edition for computers remains one of the most beloved. Therefore, the codes in this article are for PC (Windows).
How to activate the cheat system in The Sims 3
Before you start using cheats, you must first enable the command console. Here’s how.
1. Load a normally saved game;
2. At the same time, press the CTRL + SHIFT + C key sequence to display the command console;
3. Enter the code you want, from the list below, and press Enter to activate it;
4. Before using any cheat in The Sims 3, enter the code testingcheatsenabled true and press Enter to ensure that all cheats will work.
Tip: The recommendation is to use cheats in a gameplay separate from your “official”, at least in principle. This is because the codes modify important functions of the game. If you want to directly modify your main save, it is good to back it up first.
