Entering Cheats in The Sims 1

To enter cheat codes in The Sims 1 on your PC, press Ctrl+Shift+C. This action will bring up a small gray command bar at the top left of your screen. Just type in your desired code and hit enter. It’s worth noting that these codes aren’t case-sensitive, offering some flexibility in your inputs.

The Sims 1 has a few handy shortcuts to streamline your cheat-entry process. By typing “!” you can repeat the last cheat command you used, making your gaming experience more seamless. Additionally, using a semicolon allows you to enter multiple cheats simultaneously. For instance, typing “rosebud; interests” would activate both cheats. Just remember to separate each code with a semicolon.
