The Sims 2 money cheat

I mentioned the sims 2 a while ago and have had quite a few people arriving here via a search for sims. So, here's a treat for you, as I know you might be disappointed to find just this little blog and not a vast Sims emporium. To get 50,000 extra simoleans do the control shift c thing like on the sims 1 and type in motherlode. If you want to just limit yourself to 1,000 type in kaching. Now you can afford that hot tub and start making babies!

I have added to this post as I am receiving a lot of e-mail etc just asking how to activate the cheat console. Here's how.
To enter cheats in The Sims 2, first open the command console by simultaneously pressing the ctrl key the shift key (the key above ctrl usually) and the c key. Enter the cheat code and press enter. Do this while you are playing the game and your sims are pottering about. Keep in mind that the money does not appear on screen, like a reward, you may think nothing has happened until you notice your money total has increased.
It works for me when motherlode is typed all lower case but others have found it only works with a capital M and the rest lower case. Maybe it depends on your operating system, I don't know.

2008 - I am closing comments on this post, which was originally written in 2004. I haven't played The Sims for a long time and cannot keep up with the e-mail and comments asking for help, as the game has moved on since I used to play it. One day I hope to have time to buy all the new expansion packs, load them up and immerse myself in the world of The Sims, but I don't see that happening any time very soon. Most answers to help questions can be found amongst the previous comments and replies.

To make the box go away press the esc key on your keyboard. It sometimes goes away on its own once you start playing.

[Aleia]

for toddles to age quicker its agingquck

[gracie]

it didnt work

[Fran]

Do you mean the money cheat didn't work or Aleia's aging cheat? The money cheat works for the hundreds of people a day that click through this entry. Did you hold down the control button the shift button and the c button at the same time to bring up a white box to type the word into? Remember to spell it Motherlode and not Motherload.

[billiobthankx]

it works!thankx a lot!!!:)

[karan patel]

i typed in Motherlode in the white box then pressed enter but nothing happens...exactly when do i do it? is it anytime during the game.?

[fran]

I have never tried it in any other mode than when the sims are in live mode, pottering about as normal.
Keep in mind that nothing startling happens except you notice you are a bit richer when you look at your money total. It doesn't appear on screen like when they recieve rewards.
