How or have or adopt a baby in The Sims 1.

However, not all cheats work on The Sims 1 and 2 Legacy Editions, some are different, and others work in unique ways. We've taken a look at all the classic che✃at codes for both games and tested them on the new 2025 eꦍditions. Here's what works.

How To Activate Cheats

Activating cheats is simpler in the Sims 1 and 2 and the process is the same for both. All you need to do is press the following keys at the same time:

Control Shift C

If you've played The Sims 4, you'll recognise this standard shortcut to open the cheat code text box. However, you do not need to type anything to enable cheat codes in these games. Just type in the codes then press enter.
