userStartup.cheat
sara_dippity:
What did I do wrong? I put the file (submitted for your approval) into several folders, I tried five different folders that looked like the right place, in documents and in game files. Is it my file? Where the hell does this thing go again? Did I name it wrong or what? I added the .txt extension just now to be able to upload it, when trying to use the file I did save it as .cheat.
I know I used to have it set up right.

Well, first it has to go in the 'Config' folder under The Sims 2. Second, I think (but I'm not 100% sure) that you need to repeat the actual command twice in the alias line before putting in the help text. At least, that's how I have mine setup and it works fine.
Nec:
It belongs in My Documents/EA Games/The Sims 2/Config
My cheats are written like so:
alias snapn "boolProp snapObjectsToGrid false" "snap to grid = no" "snap to grid = no"
alias snapy "boolProp snapObjectsToGrid true" "snap to grid = yes" "snap to grid = yes"
alias flrn "boolprop constrainFloorElevation false" "Floors Weird" "Floors weird"
alias flry "boolprop constrainFloorElevation true" "Floors normal" "Floors normal"
Not sure if that will make a difference, but it works for me. Putting it in the Config folder will help, too.

alias snapy "boolProp snapObjectsToGrid true" "snap to grid = yes" "snap to grid = yes"
The last two arguments are just help text. They don't make any difference to the functionality. I'm currently using a null string for the last one, and I have in the past used a null string for both.
Code:
alias m "moveObjects on" "Move normally unmovable objects" ""
alias m- "moveObjects off" "Do not move normally unmovable objects" ""
Wait. A while ago, wasn't someone saying that if they included a particular cheat, that nothing after that was being recognized? I can't remember which one or whether it was ever confirmed to be a real phenomenon. Hmm, looks like one of the Pets cheats, because I have those stuck at the very bottom of my file with a note not to put anything after them.
Eleonora:
You are definitly on to something there, 'cause my file hasn't been working properly either since seasons. I've got quite a long list of cheats and aliases, but only debug mode seems to get turned on upon loading. Moveobjects and the 45 degree rotation etc. still have to be entere manually, and my aliases don't work either = huge PITA.
