I think not a lot of people know this trick, so I wanted to share it.
In Sims 2, when you want to enter a cheat, you can type the first few letters and then press the tab key the game will autofill the cheat for you.
For instance: if you type "mov" => press tab => it becomes "moveObjects" (you still need to "add" on or "off")
Without the " " of course .
In fact, if you don’t type anything in the cheat console and simply press tab, the game will cycle through all the cheats in alphabetical order.
I do not recommend activating any cheat that you don't understand, unless you are in a mood to experiment and don't mind potentially borking your game.
HOWEVER, this trick does not work with the money cheats (motherlode, kaching), nor with any of the cheats starting with "boolprop" ☹️
But there's a workaround for that.
You can set up aliases for them in your user starter cheat. What this does is allow you to replace those annoyingly long cheats with a word of your choosing.
I'll link to this great tutorial here by @belladovah.
And the best part is that you can use the tab key for aliases!
For instance, in my game I replaced testingcheats by "cheaton"/"cheatoff".
So if I want to activate testingcheats, I write "ch" => press tab => it becomes "cheaton" => press tab again => it becomes "cheatoff"
That's it. That's the tip. I hope it was helpful.
