Author Info

Last Updated: January 20, 2024

With the Boolprop cheat you can do practically anything in The Sims 2. Kill any Sim, change a Sim's fitness, make a Sim sick, turn a Sim into a vampire, and much more stuff. The problem is if you don't spell it right, because the spaces and spelling do matter. Here is the right cheat and suggestions for things to do with it.

A box will appear at the top of the screen.
Enter it exactly as you see it with the spaces. Cheats are also not case-sensitive, so you can enter it all in lowercase if you wish.

If you've done it right the cheat box will close by itself, if you've done it wrong the box will become bigger and you will see a lot of things in it. After typing the cheat in again, to get rid of the box type in 'exit' (no quotation marks).

Go to create a family or to a family that's already been made.
- To create a family you will need to type in the family's name and press Shift + N. This will enable debugging mode. A box will appear telling you that you've unlocked new hairstyles, skin colors, and clothes. This allows you to wear NPC clothes and other things. To disable debugging mode, press Shift + M.
- If you're in a family already, you can do many things with it :
  - Change a Sim's fitness level. Press Shift, click on a Sim and select the option Change Fitness to change it to the way you want.
  - Kill any Sim. Select the option Kill and choose any option.
You can also do this with skills and relationships, as well as hobbies if you have the FreeTime expansion pack.
Different colors like purple, blue and green are some of them. To do that, first do steps one, two and three and then enter the family's household. Click on a mirror, and click 'Change Appearance'. Then click the Custom Content icon next to the hair colour icons. Then there should be new hairstyle icons with new colours. Click on one of those. Click the tick icon at the bottom of the window and you are now wearing the different hairstyle!

Question

How do I fix the cheat bar in the Sims 2?

Community Answer

What is wrong with it? If you can't exit, press the Esc key, and if that's not what you need, just quit your game and all the cheats should be reset.

Question

How do I burn a whole house?

Community Answer

Use a Sim that sucks at cooking and let it set the stove on fire. Then distract the Sim and let your house burn down with your Sims inside.

Question

Why is it not letting me drag the needs up?

You need to have input the code while you're on the neighborhood view. If you are already in a Sim's house you can enable the cheats, then visit another place or household.

Leaving boolprop on for long periods of time will not hurt your game, but certain cheats will.

it is a myth that using the boolprop cheat to maximize skills will not fulfill a want. All you need to do is make your sim perform the action to gain whatever skill, and slide that skill bar over as your sim is doing it. For example, while your sim is painting, slide the creativity bar over one notch. The game will acknowledge your sim has gained a skill point, and if it was a wish it will be fulfilled.

It is commonly accepted that boolprop will mess up your game. There are really only a few things that will explode your game:
- Using 'Make Selectable' to make Mrs. Crumplebottom selectable
- Using 'Make Selectable' to make the Grim Reaper selectable
- Using 'Make Selectable' to make the Therapist selectable
- Using 'Make Selectable' to make the Social Bunny selectable. This is very, very bad and will not only mess up your game in the long run but remove options for you in the game.
- Why do these hurt your game? These 'characters' are considered objects by the game.
- Choosing to make the Remote-Controlled Car part of the family.
- Pressing the option "Give Cell Phone*" could highly reduce your game quality and speed.
Thanks
