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.

I want to know the sims 3 cheat

[lauren]

How do i get the box to go down so i can type?

[leah]

thank you for the cheat it worked good style lol x x x x x x

[Fran]

Maybe try the "moveobjects on" cheat - open the cheat window, type that without the quotes and hit enter. Go into buy mode and you should be able to move the sim out of bed. It may stay lying down for a bit.
Don't forget to take "moveobjects" off.

[Rabbit]

She keeps doing the same thing over and over again...

[Rabbit]

Hey,My sim wont wake up and is really unhappy what do i do?

[Ashley]

How do you get the gnome i did L1 R1 up x R2 while pressing start. So annoying.

[Me]

Hey

Thnkz 4 the cheat!!!

It works fab!!!

xx

[reecie]

this is how u do the money cheat.

u press this : shift,ctrl,and c at the same time

and then when the white box at the top shows up, type in this, WITHOUT the quotation marks:

motherlode

You will get 50,000 simeoleons and u can do it as many times as you want. remember its not "motherload".

heres another cheat. its for aspiration points.

in the white box type in

aspirationpoints

after u type that in (dont press enter yet) type in how many you want but space it after aspirationpoints. And there you go!

if it does not work then u r doing it wrong.

erser

thanx alot... it really help!

[clare]

i keep trying the motherlode cheat but it tells me that there's no such cheat. i've tried it in upper and lower case and just the first letter as upper case.

any ideas?

[dan]

i just downloaded the sims 2 off the internet as my discs were scratched.... now that i have sims 2...unleashed etc... motherloade, kaching, !;!;!..., wont work with me it just says no such cheat... does anyone know why??

[Fran]

It sounds as if somehow the folder for that neighbourhood has been deleted or moved. The folders for The sims 2 are kept in My Documents/EA Games/Sims 2/Neighborhoods and the neighbourhoods are named i.e. N001 etc. I think it's just coincidence that it has disappeared since using the cheat.
This forum ... http://forums.worldsims.org/forumdisplay.php?f=19 ... might be able to help.

[sally]

Please can one of you Sims2 experts help my 8 year old daughter? She has recently bought Sims 2 DVD for PC and has been playing it happily for 2 weeks. Thanks to you she has discovered the cheat in order to get some more money but today she has gone on it for the first time since using the money cheat and Pleasantview (Pleasantville?!!)has disappeared from the opening page. She is devastated because she can't work out where it has gone. The other two towns are there, Strangeville and Veronville (I think they are the names), but the last picture, which used to be Pleasantview/ville is now 'Custom build a new town'. Please can anyone help? has she not saved it from last time? But surely even if she hadn't saved it properly last time she should still have everything she had previously saved?
Any help would be much appreciated - she is in floods.

[Samantha]

I just downloaded it too because I used to play sims like a year ago and I stopped cause my CD was scratched, so I downloaded a torrent. But now NONE of the cheats work, AND the cheat box wont go away even tho ive typed exit, and it still stays there when i go to the neighborhood view... can someone help me pleaseeee??

Just press escape (usually the top left button on the keyboard labelled "Esc")

[mallory]

[Cassie]

Oops.
I mean "C" not Alt. :/

[Cassie]

I've played the sims ever since I could.
To get rid of that annoying box for cheats, just press ESC. [Escape]
& if you want some more cheats. Press; Shift Control & Alt.
Then, type in Help-all :)

The correct spelling is memento

[Daniel Toner]

Same here as the post above. The cheat console has never showed up for me. I've tried it live, paused, build mode, neighborhood screen, lot selector, options menu, I've tried CTRL SHIFT C at the same time, I've held them down for a bit, I've pressed CTRL then SHIFT then C, nothing works. Have an idea why it wouldn't work?

[idunknow]

i can't bring up the console at all in my PC..why?

[Sammy]

it does work! But the aging one doesnt

[Naomi]

WEEEEE!!!! IM RICH!!!! :P

[Mike]

[Hayley]

If you put WARIGANOSASH in the sims cheat it will give you £100.000 pounds more

[hayley]

if your doing the cheat on sims 2 then motherlode needs to be presented like this "motherlode" then it will work and the same with exit "exit" bye bye

[DeDanna]

To get the box to go away, type in exit and it will, now, is the cheat for money Motherlode or motherlode???

Thank you all

[panther]

[Fran]

Just enter the cheat, unpaused, it will pause itself anyway while you type the cheat.

[Cherry Bubblegum]

Ok, i havent tried it yet but do you mean to enter the cheat when it is unpaused or paused?

[Pullmayra]

dat last 1 was from me
lol

i ment Motherlode
soz

[Pullmayra]

i tried the Mothlode cheat, with one of my sims, and it worked, i did it 3 more times and it still worked!
But den i tried to do it with my other sims, and it didnt work, the cheat box just got bigger but, it didnt work, and now non of the cheats worked, but they all did before.
what should i do now? I WANT MORE MONEY!!
lol

[holly]

thanx for the motherlode cheat, couldn't find it anywhere else (P.S it worked)

[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.

[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.?

[billiobthankx]

it works!thankx a lot!!!:)

[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.

[gracie]

it didnt work

[Aleia]

for toddles to age quicker its agingquck

[Fran]

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

[Carmen]

Hey, i did the motherload thing, and this white box appeared, but how do i get that stupid box to go away? it wont, and its SOOOOOOOOOOO annoying. UgH!! Thanks!!
Carmen

[Robyn]

Thnx :)

[Gothsim]

Ta for that, going to try it now.
