The Sims 2 on PC
The Sims 2 (Maxis / EA, 2004) ships the largest officially documented cheat console in the franchise. Beyond the famous motherlode and kaching money cheats, the boolprop family unlocks Shift+Click debug menus that let you control aging, motives, pregnancies and build constraints. Every cheat below was published in the original game manual and on EA's official Sims 2 support pages. CheatsMagazine.com has tracked these codes since 2007 — they remain unchanged in Double Deluxe, the Ultimate Collection and the EA App re-release.
