Cheat codes have played a crucial role in the The Sims series since it launched. With the recent release of the Sims Legacy Collection, players can now dive into the roots of these beloved codes. Unlike many games where entering cheats requires special tools or complex methods, The Sims makes it simple for players to customize their gameplay and skip over challenges if they choose to.
In the earlier days of The Sims 1, the game’s challenging mechanics often made using cheat codes a necessity. Now that The Sims Legacy Collection is available for digital download, you can directly see how integral cheats were to the original game. If you’re having trouble with your Sims’ day-to-day needs or find yourself longing for the user-friendly gameplay of The Sims 4, these cheats can definitely enhance your experience with The Sims 1.
How to Enter Cheats in Sims 1 Legacy Collection
Entering Cheat Codes
To activate a cheat code in any Sims game, just press “Ctrl + Shift + C” during gameplay to bring up the cheat input box in the upper-left corner of your screen. Once the box appears, type in your desired cheat code and hit enter. If entered correctly, the cheat will activate. Should there be an error in your typing or with the cheat itself, the game will notify you, allowing you to try again.
If you’re new to Sims 1, you’ll likely find that the most useful cheats revolve around boosting your finances. Earning money in the original version was quite a challenge; I remember needing to remove walls in my Sims’ homes just to make sure they could eat! Before I learned any money cheat codes, my Sims always lived in vast, open layouts with few amenities. While other cheats can provide some fun or control, they usually don’t compare to the necessity of money cheats.
