The Sims (GameCube)

A console-port/remake of a PC classic that started all of this mess.

Cheat Codes
By pressing L and R on the main menu, you can create a code input screen. A female Sim voice will either confirm or reject your code. Here are all of the working codes:
 * SIMS - Opens "Play The Sims" mode so you don't have to start Get A Life to make your own families and houses.
 * PARTY M - Unlocks an extra multiplayer level called The Party Mansion.
 * MIDAS - Unlocks every buy/build mode object in the game as well as Create-A-Sim options.
 * FREEALL - Disregards money when buying/building. This does not change moving into an existing lot if the family does not have enough money.
 * FISH EYE - Press X during gameplay until it goes into a first-person view with the Sim you are using.
 * SUNLIGHT - Makes the game brighter.
 * MOONLIGHT - Makes the game darker.
 * NORMALLIGHT - Resets the lighting (only works when the game is already brighter or darker).
 * SUN - Makes the game brighter.
 * MOON - Makes the game darker.
 * NORMAL - Resets the lighting (only works when the game is already brighter or darker).

Debugging Functions
Two different debug tools were left in the final version and can be accessed with an Action Replay.

Debug Display
This is smaller than the other debugging leftover. It simply displays a few rapidly changing memory addresses on every screen in the game.

Debug Actions
It is also possible (with Action Replay) to enable Debug Actions that open Sims to be able to test objects like never before. Debug Actions can be differentiated from normal ones by the asterisk in front of them.

Enable Debug Actions


 * YZA3-HCW9-CZUFV
 * D6MT-5X6M-VEFZ3

Here is a list of debug actions that can appear on many objects:


 * Break - Can appear on plumbing, kitchen, or electronic objects. It does no more than what it says- it breaks it, leaving a big puddle of water or smoke.
 * Force Healthy/Withered/Dead - Appears on any sort of plant. You can make plants look as pretty as you want or it can be ugly to complement your Sims.
 * Force Fire - This shows up on any kind of Grill.

Jane House

Jane House is an unused Sim that can appear in Get A Life, but only through enabled Debug Actions.

In Get A Life mode's first level (Money From Mom), use the action "Make me know everyone" from the mailbox and look in your friends. You'll have a friend named Jane House. You can call Jane and invite him/her over. It's possible that Jane House is an early test Sim for Get A Life. Their icon is a recycled icon from the original PC version of The Sims, and looks like a default male Sim (even with the name Jane), but is a slightly different color. When you invite them over, they function like a regular Sim would. You can't see Jane after the first level.

4 Sim Avenue


Play the Sims includes six available lots to make houses on. However, 4 Sim Avenue is not present and 7 Sim Avenue takes its place. With careful timing, 4 Sim Avenue can be revealed when selecting a lot, sitting across the street from 7 Sim Avenue. It is most likely a programming bug that doesn't open the hidden lot to be selected. It may also be that there wasn't space on the disc to include another lot, and 4 Sim Avenue was lazily removed from the game. There are no known ways to access 4 Sim Avenue other than it's lot card, but even this can only be seen for a split second.
