Cheat Codes Are Working For The Sims: Legacy Collection
If you remember playing the original The Sims, you might be excited to hear that some of the same cheat codes that worked back then, will also work now.
Today, EA and MAXIS surprised fans with the re-release of The Sims 1 and 2 amid celebrations of The Sims 25th anniversary. As is to be expected when it comes to The Sims, cheat codes are already being tested. Thanks to dedicated testers at PCGamer and Polygon, there is already a growing list of cheats that will work for The Sims: Legacy Collection.
Cheats for The Sims: Legacy Collection are already being tested, and good news is they are working
After 25 years of an ever-changing online landscape, it might be difficult to remember, or even find, useful cheats for the recent re-release of the original The Sims game. It might be hard to parse through the memories of playing the actual game and the strange rumors that might have been passed around at school. Thankfully, publisher EA and developer MAXIS are “kinda, sorta” encouraging of cheats in The Sims 4, so you don’t need to feel like a criminal when you start looking for cheats to get you through the re-release.
Jumping back into The Sims: Legacy Collection might remind players just how difficult the original game was. Thankfully, cheats will allow players to load up on the game’s currency, simoleons, and adjust the speed of the Sims in live mode. So, it should make things easier.
To put in cheats in The Sims: Legacy Collection, press Ctrl+Shift+C to open the text command bar. Type in the code in the gray bar that appears in the top left corner of the screen and hit enter. The game will let you know if the chosen code doesn’t work, whether you made a typo or chose a cheat that doesn’t exist.
There are three main types of cheats, Gameplay, Build Mode, and Visual. Gameplay cheat codes will let you do things like gain in-game currency and set the time of day. Build mode cheat codes are how you’ll be able to move objects and edit the map in various ways. Visual cheat codes will allow you to rotate the camera, show your Sim’s interests, or if you want, show Nessie, the Loch Ness Monster.
It’s been a long time since I’ve played a game that even had the capacity for cheat codes. Just the phrase “cheat code” brings me back to playing games as a kid like Roller Coaster Tycoon, Zoo Tycoon, and The Sims. Exploring these old codes feels like the perfect way to celebrate the 25th anniversary of these class computer games.
