I have seen it time and time again, people asking how to enable the special events camera in Sims 2, any expansion pack. Usually the problem is the option is greyed out and cannot be turned on. This does mean, most of the time that a person's PC cannot handle the graphics of the game, but here is what you can do to override this fault:

--I found this override code while re-writing the GraphicsRules.sgr files so I could play at a higher resolution.--

1. Boot up the Sims 2 as normal.
2. Select your neighborhood.
3. While still on the neighborhood screen, bring up the cheat box with ctrl + shift + c.
4. Enter the following into the cheat window exactly as shown:
Boolprop chooseCameraSpecialEventEnabled true
5. Open your options through the "..." button.
6. Click on the camera settings button (looks like a camera).
7. Look at the Special Event Camera option now (first row, second column).
It should be blue and selectable.
8. Turn your camera on and enjoy those special moments with a Sim cinematic!

I hope this helps out anybody still struggling with this old issue, but since I am a bargain shopper I recently picked up The Sims 2. I hope this will help other bargain shopping gamers out there like myself.

Type in boolProp TestingcheatsEnabled true (not caps sensitive). Once you have typed that in the cheat box (crtl+shift+c) then hit enter. Shift+click on a male sim and Spawn....Tombstone Of L and D. Now click on the tombstone which appears (remember you have to be using a male sim for this cheat to work) and press more until you see "Get Pregant" or Set "Pregnancy Relations" when you press one of these...then click (your sim name). You will now here a chime or a sound. That means the sim is now pregnant. Now press on the tombstone again and press....."Speed Up My Pregnancy". It will now only take three HOURS not three DAYS to have the baby. VIOLA! Your male sim will now have a baby! Congratulations! And happy cheating!
~Sims~Queen :D

Hit ctrl+shift+c to open the cheat box. Now type in FamilyFunds (Family Name) (amount) and then hit enter. The highest money amount is 999,999 (I think). Happy cheating! NOTE: The (family name) is where you actually have to type in the family name...same with the amount of money. :D Enjoy!
~Sims~Queen

To open the cheat menu hit shift, tab and c. When it is open type in the word motherlode or kerching.
Motherlode will give 50,000 simolions
Kerching will only give you 1000 simolieons

To give your sims full health you have to enter the cheat Move_objects on. Then you go into bye mode and click on the sim you want to give full health. You then delete your sim and exit the lot when you go back in to the lot your sim will be there with full heath. If you want to play the game without that sim for a while cos yoyu want a partener to have an affair with someone from the house and don't want to wait for the other sim to go to work then you jut don't leave the lot and that sim wont be there untill you leave and come in again. You can leave the game alltogether and come back and the sim will be there.

Save the game before you delete them or you will lose all pionts they get between then and the last time you save.

Have fun and I hope this cheat helps

CTRL + SHIFT + C (in Neighborhood view)

Type: boolprop testingcheatsenabled true (spaces required)

If you type this cheat in the house view, save your game, return to neighborhood and re-enter the house or it will not work.

SHIFT + LEFT CLICK and drag to max out any of the following:

SKILLS
NEEDS
PERSONALITY
RELATIONSHIP BARS
INTERESTS

And there might be more, I just haven't discovered them yet.

Maxing your relationship bars does not automatically create friends but it will allow you to make friends faster. After maxing out a sim's friendship status..the next action with them will make them your best friend.

You can also SHIFT + CLICK on a visiting sim, choose MAKE SELECTABLE, go into their relationship section and max out their friendship status with you. Do this with male and female sim's and they may fall in love right away (after interacting).

HAPPY CHEATING!

Type : boolprop testingcheatsenabled true (i have found capitals or not it works for me)

Have your sims "TRY FOR BABY"..you will have to wait till her first pregnancy belly appears. When it does:

SHIFT and CLICK on your pregnant sim

Look through each option till you find: DEBUG- FORCE TWINS

THIS WORKS EVERYTIME!

You can also try this: type the boolprop code above and after her first pregnancy belly appears hit CTRL + SHIFT + C and type FORCETWINS

(capitalized letters not necessary.

HAPPY CHEATING!!!

Type control, shift, c, as other people have said, and then type 'help' (without quotation marks). This gets up a list of quite a few cheats. By the way, the forcetwins cheat only works if your sim is pregnant. Enjoy!

DO NOT TYPE IN "LAST NAME OF FAMILY", what I meant was, say my families last name is Smith, I would type in, "familyfunds smith $9,999,999" (no commas)

Okay so instead of waiting 3 whole days for the baby to come how about this?
Open up cheat box and type in BoolProp testingCheatsEnabled true then hold down shift and click on any sim on you're lot,then a whole list of options will appear choose Tombstone L and D when you do that the tombstone will appear,click on it.

I know you must have already heard of the cheat boolprop testingcheatsenabled true/false by now, and well, people are lying to you on the spelling. Even the person who was supposidely trying to tell us the spelling wasn't right. So, since some people don't want to look at the proper supercheats cheat submissions, I've went and copied it so you all can read it:
BoolProp testingCheatsEnabled true

Is the correct spelling, and if you think you'll forget it by the time you open up the game, Copy it by right-clicking on the words after you've highlighted them, and select copy. Then, to make sure you've copied it, Clear the address bar and click Ctrl+ V to paste. If it worked, you now can use the BoolProp testingCheatsEnabled cheat. Have fun!

Hi, i'm sure we are all familiar with the move_objects on cheat by now (enables you to move and delete some things which cannot be moved otherwise). First, do NOT delete your sims, because instead of getting a moodboost (like on sims 1) they will disappear and NOT COME BACK. By the way if there are some unprepared ingredients on the floor, click on them about 20 times and eventually it will let you pick up and delete them. By the way you can't delete plates, with or without food on.

Things you CAN delete with move_objects on
Coffee cups
Baby bottles
Sims (don't do it unless you want to permanently delete the sim)
Objects that a sim is using (don't delete a shower/bath/hot tub while sims are in them because it is likely to delete the sim as well)
Unprepared ingredients
NPCs (Non-playable characters such as the paper boy/girl or the fireman)

Things you CAN'T delete with move_objects on
Dinner/dessert plates (with or without food)
Servings (you know the big bowl of food that sims can Grab A Plate or Grab a Bowl from)
TV Dinners

OK, I think that just about covers it.

Happy Simming!
