For an uninitiated person, the second and third parts of the Sims series can look extremely similar. But if you are more familiar with these projects, then you will easily understand that they have much more different than similar ones. The fact is that these are life simulators in which there is no specific goal to be achieved, there are no specific tasks or quests. Here you simply live the life of your character and do everything that you would do in reality. At first glance, such an idea sounds rather strange and not particularly attractive - why at the computer do what can be done in ordinary life? But if you try, it will be very difficult to break away.
Any part of the “Sims” captures, makes you play and play without interruption, because you are wholeheartedly attached to the fate of your characters. All episodes are different from each other, with each new release the number of possibilities increases. But what remains unchanged is the mode that anyone who wants it can access. To do this, you need to know the special developer code. "Sims 3" with its introduction is transformed.
What it is?
If you used to play "Sims", then, most likely, you know what the mode and code of the developer are. “Sims 3” is no exception in this regard - in the third part of the game there is also this mode, which is activated by a slightly different, but similar code. If you do not understand what is at stake, then it will be quite simple to explain. The fact is that in each of the games in this series, a hidden mode is laid out, which provides the player with the ability to edit almost everything, as well as do much more diverse actions with any items. Moreover, the developer mode completely unties the player’s hands - but all this at his own peril and risk. After all, working in this mode requires skills and abilities, you cannot be sure that you will not make a mistake, which will ultimately lead to the loss of a save. Therefore, it is recommended to use the developer code only when you are confident in your abilities, and also try to avoid using it on your favorite characters - experiment on some random sims that you will not mind. Then you do not have to blame the developer code for everything. Sims 3 is a game that offers you tremendous opportunities. But this mode makes them even wider, and at the same time, the gameplay becomes much more interesting and exciting.
Code entry
The first thing you will have to find out is how to enter the developer code. "Sims 3" in this regard is not much different from its predecessors - you need to use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl, Shift and C to call the game console, and then enter the desired command in it. Unlike the second part, the command here is not so complicated and confusing - you just need to enter the combination TestingCheatsEnabled, and after that write true or false. Depending on this, you either enable developer mode, or turn it off. Naturally, you will also need the second option, since you always need an alternative, the ability to continue the game according to the standard rules, forgetting about the advanced ones. As you can see, you have full control, and you can use it at any time. You will be available clothes for "Sims 3", various items, actions and so on, as well as much more than just new items. But first things first.
Sim Impact
First of all, you should pay attention to the fact that the developer mode allows you to work on sims. And the important thing here is not the clothes for "The Sims 3", but what exactly you can do with the characters. You just need to hold down the Shift key, and you can make unusual manipulations with any of the available sims, even non-game ones. For example, you can change their character traits and skills, grow old, and also make them members of your family. All these functions can be either useful or just pleasant, so do not forget to experiment with the developer mode. The cities of Sims 3 are filled with characters of a different mindset and character, so you will have enough options for testing.
A mailbox is the key to success
If you play "Sims 3" without any additional modes, then you still often go to the mailbox, which is located right next to your door. There you can find a sea of useful information, with it you can get a job, and also through it you need to pay bills for an apartment or house. All the cities of “Sims 3” are equipped with such boxes, they are in every yard, but if you have not used the developer code yet, you can’t even imagine what opportunities lurk in this small subject. Thanks to the special mode, the mailbox will become your closest friend. With it, you can do a lot: save all the family’s needs from needs and make them happy, make new friends, establish relationships with neighbors, invite someone to visit, choose a career path and even completely turn off all needs. And this is not all that can be done if you interact with the mailbox in developer mode. Do not underestimate such items in Sims 3. In this case, you may not need a code for money at all.
Developer Code and Career
Building a career is one of the main factors of this game. In "Sims 3" a code for money can give you wealth and eliminate the need to work, but it is a career that may turn out to be the most interesting in the life of your sim. Moreover, achieving something by one’s own labor is a much more enjoyable process. But here you can find application to the developer mode. With it, you can activate a random event that may happen to you at work. Moreover, you can get a random work task, which will give you acceleration in career advancement, as well as extra money. In the same way, everything works in the game "Sims 3: Middle Ages" - the developer code is relevant for this version, but only there some functions may differ.
Developer Mode Places
You need to be able to correctly select those functions that may come in handy. For example, you can teleport your sim to anywhere on the map. But this is not all - you can always turn on the construction or shopping mode at the facility that does not belong to you. In the standard version of the game, you just won’t be able to do this, but in this mode everything is possible - for this you need a developer code. "Sims 3: Pets" - this is an addition to the main game, which does not interfere with the use of this code. However, like any other addition, so you can not worry - you will be able to get advanced features in any case.
Work with scales
As in the second part of the game, in "Sims 3" there is a huge number of different scales that reflect the needs of the character, his level of skills, indicators and so on. And you can control all these scales with a simple mouse click. Drag the slider to the mark that you need, and you will never experience problems with your sims.
Desires and Mullets
Again, since the second part of The Sims, nothing has changed in terms of mudlets and desires. The former can be easily removed with one click, the latter are executed in the same way, with ease and without any problems. Thus, you can always maintain the perfect state of your Sim.
Good luck in the game!
