The Sims cheat codes will do exactly what it says on the tin, they'll help you cheat your way through your time trying to keep your creations alive or, indeed, help you to create more chaos with them - the choice is yours.

The original Sims has been re-released for PC as part of the series' 25th Anniversary celebrations and, like the original, cheats are not only available but practically encouraged. Please note, these cheat codes are for the The Sims: Legacy Collection, not the original.

On that note, here are all The Sims cheat codes to help you create mischief, mayhem and chaos.

How to use cheat codes in The Sims

To use PC cheat codes in The Sims you need to press and hold CTRL, Shift and C at the same time to bring up the cheats bar in the upper left corner of your screen.

Once this is here, type in your cheat codes and press enter. If you've entered a cheat that doesn't exist or have made an error when inputting it, a small pop up will appear saying 'Cheat doesn't exist'.

Also, putting in '!' into the cheats bar lets you repeat the last cheat you entered and using ';' after a cheat lets you put in one after the other. Handy if you want to put in a few at once.
