and will prevent little Johnny from ever growing up, so treat this cheat with care
as well.

autoPatch -off = Tuens game autoupdate off.
This cheat lets you re-enable notifications when there is a game update available
for The Sims 2. Just turn Autopatch on and go to the Custom Content Browser
(the little snowflake button on the UCP in the neighborhood). If thereÆs an update
available youÆll be asked whether you want to download it. -

slowMotion # = Make you set the game speed. (# = 0 to 8, 0 is normal)
The slowMotion cheat takes one parameter: the "slowness" setting (such as
slowMotion 4). This value ranges from 0 to 8 where 0 is normal speed and 8 is the
slowest speed.

boolProp enablePostProcessing true = Turns Postprocessing on.
boolProp enablePostProcessing false = Tuens Postprocessing off.
This will enable the use of postprocessing cheats (see below) very useful
for movie making (also see below). Please note that you must have a video card
that can handle pixel shaders in order to successfully use this cheat. If you use
the cheats and you donÆt have pixel shaders, the screen will most likely go
partially dark, and will not come back until you turn off enablePostProcessing. - If
you turn on postprocessing, and you turn on cinematics, and a cinematic plays,
you may also experience unwanted graphical glitches.

To use the following cheats, you must have "PostProcessing" enabled!

Combine Aspiration Rewards:
Combine aspiration rewards for even bigger boosts. For example, if your Sim is
wearing a Thinking Cap and feeds Smart Milk to their Toddler, the Toddler builds
skill four times as fast!

Buying expensive houses:
Use the following trick if you want your average Sim to buy a house that is above
his or her means. First start a family or load one, and find an empty lot. Move the
Sim on that lot. Enable the motherlode code a few times, just to the point where
you can buy the expensive house. Exit the lot, but save the game. Then, evict
(move out) the family. Notice that your family is displayed at the "Choose Family"
window. You can now buy any house desired.

Listen To Mp3's On Sim Radio:
First get whatever Mp3's you want to put on the game, then open up
MyDocuments/EAGames/TheSims2/Music/(whatever RadioStation you want your
song on). Then, Drag your MP3 into the folder. Now, start Sims 2 then go to
options menu, then music settings, then the Radio Station, then pick witch songs
you want the radio to play. You can now listen to your favorite songs in your Sims
game.

Custom Painting:
To decorate your house with custom artwork, first your sim must have a creativity
level of 5 and be able to paint a still life.

Have your sim paint and a frame will appear that you can center on whatever you
want to paint. If you want to paint a picture of something outside the Sims 2
game, just press C anywhere at this time. This will pause the game.

Use Alt + Tab to exit the game, then open a picture program such as Paint and
open the snapshot you just took, it will usually be in the folder: C:\My
Documents\EA\Sims2\Storytelling\Snapshot.bmp

Then, you also have to open the picture you want to have in your game. If your
picture is too large resize it so it will fit in the original snapshot from the game.

Copy your custom picture on to your snapshot from the game, then save the
picture. Use Alt + Tab to get back to your game and your sim will start painting
your own custom picture.

Using this trick you can put pictures of your friends or family, web pictures, or
anything else in your Sims 2 game.

This cheat gets your sim to get twin babys (most of the time).
