I'm posting this again because people are too lazy to search through the previous posts and find answers to their cheat questions. If you want to know the cheat codes, just click on CHEATS on the top of the page.

Guide to entering cheat codes:

The first thing you have to do is enter the Gnome Cheat Code. None of the other codes work unless the Gnome is enabled. It's called The Gnome because in the other PS2 versions of Sims games it was a blue gnome (a little old man with a beard and pointy hat). In this version, it looks
more like a metallic post that will appear in front of your house where the mailbox and garbage can are located.

To enter the Gnome Cheat, you pause the game by hitting the Start button and enter the code as quickly as possible (I read that you must hit all the buttons in less than 2 or 3 seconds.) You hit the buttons one after the other. Don't hold them down. If you have done it right, you'll hear a Sim voice that sounds like a sigh or a woman saying "Aaaaaahhhhhhhh!" and the gnome will appear.

To enter the other cheat codes, do the same thing as you did for the Gnome Cheat. Pause the game with the Start button, enter the code as quickly as possible, and listen for the Sim voice.

For some codes, just entering them is enough. For others, like the Money Cheat, you have to direct one of your Sim characters to the Gnome, click on the Gnome, and a little menu will pop up letting you click on the cheat you want to activate at that time.

In the Story Mode, the gnome does not pop up when I do fill all motives. Can ye help, experts?

Popping this back to the top. The thread is long overdo for a stickying, and definitely fits the bill for what I would consider helpful material. Thanks for helping out, DonMI.

I was going to repost this before I noticed it had already been done. We should add the gnome code: L1 R1 Up X R2 which is hard to find on the cheats page.

Feel free to do so, the post is open to editing for as long as you want to change something on it, I trust you to know what you're doing when it comes to The Sims forums. =)

i just like to say thanks if it wasnt for this website i would still have been stealing other people's food^_^

i found this info and i have had no problem using the cheat codes. i have used them in free play mode only, havent tried them in story mode. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO PAUSE THE GAME TO ENTER THE CHEAT CODES. i hope this helps my fellow sims 2 players!!
