Again, some cheats require testingcheats to be on. In The Sims 4, testingcheats can be activated the same way as in previous games. Buydebug is used to buy most objects that are not normally obtainable in the buy mode, such as collectible spawners, reward objects, or crafted objects. Some cheats in The Sims 3 require the testing cheats to be enabled before they themselves can be activated, such as buyDebug, enableLotLocking, and restrictBuildBuyInBuildings cheats. Much like The Sims 2, the player can drag the motives and relationships of the current Sim up and down using the mouse, although the cheat does not need to be enabled before a household is loaded for this to work. Shift-clicking on Sims does not provide an option to make them selectable, although it can be used to send Sims back to Create a Sim to be modified. Shift-clicking on objects no longer provides an option to force an error on them, although there is an option to delete the selected object. The cheat is significantly less powerful than in The Sims 2, although it still has a number of useful options. The game's version number will also be displayed on the top-right corner of the screen. If the cheat is enabled before a player loads a lot, they will be able to simply drag up and down motives, relationships, skills, hobbies, and personality points using the mouse. Pressing ⇧ Shift + M will disable CAS debug mode. If the player is in Create a Sim mode while the cheat is active, they can press ⇧ Shift + N to enter CAS debug mode, which allows the player to give Sims clothing and hairstyles that would normally be unavailable (such as NPC and job-exclusive clothes). Several NPCs, such as the Grim Reaper or the Therapist, lack this option and therefore cannot be controlled by the player. This option allows the player to control newborn babies, who are not normally controllable. Players can also use testingcheatsenabled to control Sims that are not part of the household with the Make Selectable option, or they can temporarily remove household members with the Make Unselectable option. All objects have the option Force Error, which can be used to reset objects (clearing any interactions queued on them) or delete them (although not permanently in the case of Sims and pets) this can be used to correct some issues, such as stuck objects and Sims. Objects that can be broken or dirtied will have options to change the repair or cleanliness state of the object, allowing players to instantly break, fix, clean, or dirty objects. Players can also instruct Sims to change or plan their clothing without the need for a dresser. Sims can be made fat or fit, turned into a vampire, become friends or furious with someone, or be given any one of the gadgets sold by the Sellafone Gadget Kiosk. Players can instantly fulfill any wants and fears a Sim currently has by Ctrl+clicking on the want/fear icon. These can range from making certain Sims selectable and unselectable, making Sims grow up instantly (or killing them by Old Age, if the option is used on an Elder), changing a Sim's aspiration or spawning several cheat objects like the Tombstone of Life and Death, NPC and Townie Maker or Rodney's Death Creator. Once the cheat has been enabled, clicking on any Sim or object while holding down the ⇧ Shift key will cause a menu with debugging options to pop up.

2 Activating cheat in The Sims Medieval.

In The Sims 2, there are several cheats that start with 'boolProp'. This cheat is often erroneously called 'boolProp', which means 'Boolean property' or 'true/false'.

Turning them off is as simple as typing the name of the cheat again, followed by the word false instead of true. Testing cheats can be activated by opening up the cheat console (with ^ Ctrl+ ⇧ Shift+ C) and typing boolProp testingCheatsEnabled true, testingCheatsEnabled true, or testingCheats true.

The cheat is generally among the most useful and powerful cheats in the game, but can cause game corruption or errors if misused. This cheat allows the player to interact with objects and Sims in a manner that is not usually permitted under normal gameplay conditions. Testing cheats, also known as boolProp testingCheatsEnabled, testingCheatsEnabled, or testingCheats, is a debugging cheat available in several games in The Sims series, beginning with The Sims 2. An example of this cheat in action in The Sims 2.
