The Sims franchise has long been a staple in the gaming world, and with the recent release of The Sims: Legacy Collection, players are once again reminded of the nostalgic charm of the original games. This collection celebrates the 25th anniversary of the series, allowing both new and returning players to immerse themselves in the classic life simulation experience. Among the many features that have stood the test of time are the beloved cheat codes that once made navigating the often challenging world of The Sims a bit easier.
For those who spent countless hours playing The Sims 1, the cheat codes have become almost second nature. The Rosebud money code, which instantly boosts your Simoleons, is likely etched into the memory of many players. Other useful codes, such as move_objects, can help manage in-game nuisances like bills and trash. While some cheats from the original game may not work in this re-release, a comprehensive guide is available to help players maximize their experience.

To access the cheat console in The Sims 1 Legacy Collection, players simply need to hold down Ctrl and Shift and then press C on their keyboard. This action brings up a text box in the top-left corner of the screen, where players can enter their desired cheat codes. After typing in the code, pressing Enter will confirm the input, and if successful, players will see the changes reflected in the game. Should a code be entered incorrectly, a pop-up will inform players with a message stating, “Sorry, no such cheat!”
For those looking to input multiple cheats at once, a semicolon (;) can be used to separate each code. Additionally, to repeat the last cheat entered, players can simply type an exclamation mark (!) and press Enter.

With a wealth of cheat codes at their disposal, players can enhance their gameplay experience in various ways:
How to refill your Mood bars (or just delete your Sim)
Using the move_objects on cheat, players can delete a Sim by having them sit on a chair and then deleting the chair. This action removes both the Sim and the chair. To restore the Sim, simply click their portrait, and they will return with full Mood bars, making it an effective strategy for quick promotions.
How to delete bills
By enabling the move_objects on cheat, players can eliminate pesky bills through the Buy or Build Mode. For those wishing to avoid bills altogether, deleting the mailbox is an effective solution.
How to avoid missing work
Another clever use of the move_objects on cheat involves placing an object in the road to block the carpool. This tactic prevents the car from leaving, allowing players to jump in, even if they’re running late. Just remember to remove the object afterward so the car can proceed as normal.
