How to Cheat in The Sims 3

If you are new to The Sims games, you might have noticed that the playing the game actually takes up a lot of time, because it takes time for your Sims to do things like earn money, get a job, go to the bathroom, etc.

If you want to take out, or bypass some of the time consuming tasks, you can use "Game Cheats" to get the job done.  There are Sims 3 cheats that do everything from put millions of dollars into your bank account to ensuring that your pregnant Sim has twins.

If you follow the instructions I have posted below, I will teach you how to cheat in the Sims 3:

In order to be able to utilize cheats in your video game, you will need to enable certain codes.  To access those codes you will need to complete the following sequence:

Press Control + Shift + C simultaneously on your keyboard.  Now, these instructions are for a PC, but if you have a Mac you probably already know to replace "Control" with "Command."

If you are using an older PC with a copy of Windows Vista, you might need to pres Control + Windows + Shift along with C.

A bar will appear at the top of your video game screen, this is the console.  Once this console is visible, you can type in the specific cheat code you want to access. When you are done entering the cheat code, you can simply press the Escape key to exit the console.

 The following table lists some of the most common cheats.  If you do a search for the tags on my blog, you will find more sophisticated codes that I have made a specific blog post for.

TIP: If you click on either of the two images listed below, you will be able to enlarge the size so you can see the cheat codes better.
