The Sims 2 Cheats

The Sims 2 is a game that�s supposed to imitate life in all its forms. We have to agree that cheating is an integral part of the real life therefore we are obligated to use some form of tricking in the game too. I also know that the average gamer needs way too much time for a game of this vastness so we�ll provide a huge list of legal �shortcuts�:
