Wwhere do I install my custom userstarup.cheat file in the Sims 2 Ultimate Collection game ?

User\Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2\Config

I think the Sims 2 is actually changed to something like "The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection".

It is. (My?) Documents > EA Games > The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection

Thanks for the quick replies. I tried that but when I go to C\Documents and Settings\User\My documents\EA Games there is nothing in the file. I downloaded the UC from Origin, but in that path there is no Origin file.

You must run the game at least once for it to gen up the files needed to play in My Doc and remember that windows 7, 8 and I think 10 makes 2 and only one works and it is the one that will have all the files in.

I placed the file in My Documents\EA Games\Sims 2 Utimate Collection and started and the exited the game twice. Only one of the commands showed up. Here is what my file looks like
alias g+ "boolProp snapObjects to grid true" "Turns grid on"
alias g- "boolProp snapObjects to grid false" "Turns grid off
alias m+ "moveobjects on" "Move all objects"
alias ron "boolProp allow45DegreeAngleOfRotation true" "turn rotation on"
alias roff "boolProp allow45DegreeAngleOfRotation false" "turn rotation off"
alias tv "floatProp tvVolume 0.0"
alias ch+ "boolProp testingcheatsenabled true" "enables debug mode"
alias ch- "boolProp testingcheatsenabled false" "disables debug mode"
alias m- "moveobjects off" "Move standard objects"
Only the first command shows up
Thanks again

I meant the Config folder listed above. Sorry about that - I was just saying what The Sims 2 folder was called, not the location of where to put the userstartup.cheat file.

OH my bad, I did place it in the Config folder. My error not yours sorry,

The reason only the first command shows up is because there's a mistake in the second line. You are missing a " at the end of the line. If there's a mistake, the game only reads up to that point. Also this command is incorrect:

alias tv "floatProp tvVolume 0.0"

You don't need the " "s or the 'alias tv' - you're not going to be turning this action on, you want it on all the time so it should just be:

floatProp tvVolume 0.0 (are you sure you want the setting at 0? That turns the sound off altogether I think)

Anyway, you only need the alias commands where you want to turn a feature on or off as you play. Otherwise, just use the command itself.

Thanks Maxon. Further study on my part noticed the missing ", and had come back to post such when I saw your reply. It gives me clarification which I really appreciate.
An additional thanks for pointing out the mistake in the tv line. Much Thanks to everyone who replied to my question. Mod the Sims in my favorite Sims website !

Thanks again everyone.

Since we're on the topic of aliases... mine doesn't seem to be working either.

boolprop allow45degreeAngleOfRotation true
setQuarterTilePlacement on

Which bit isn't working and where have you put the file?

@maxon

It's in Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection\Config

It's a Text Document (.txt) and it's called "userstartup.cheat". None of it seems to be working. I seem to have gotten everything right - a Windows 8 and or a Ultimate Collection problem, possibly?

Here is mine if anyone wants to copy and paste it. It does have some extra stuff because it was made for me many years ago and the person who made it was being extra helpful. I have never edited it for fear I might mess it up! It contains most of the known cheats.

Well, it shouldn't be a .txt document. The name should be userstartup.cheat only. Remove the .txt

I don't understand? It doesn't have .txt at the end of the file name, if that's what you're getting at. The file name is "userstartup.cheat", but the file TYPE is a .txt like the rest of the files in that folder.

setQuarterTilePlacement on breaks the file. You can do an alias for it, but you can't have it always on. I learned that the hard way.

Do any files in Windoze Explorer show their ending filetype (file extension)? (By default, Windoze does not show them - you have to have altered that manually). Because it should be a .cheat file not a .txt file. If the game is seeing a text file it won't read it which is why it's not working.

Picture attached to show you.

...How can I change it to a .cheat file then? Lol. When I heard the title was "userstartup.cheat", I thought that was the name of the file. I didn't realize ".cheat" existed.

EDIT: GOT IT!

Mine doesn't work. Lol

@bobyoud2001: See http://sims.wikia.com/wiki/Game_guide:Userstartup.cheat and make sure that you've done everything correctly. You can also paste the contents of your file here so we can check over it for things like syntax errors.

It doesn't exist but Windoze reads the file extension and puts the file type in capitals as though to say 'are you sure this is right?'

Good

If you want help we need more information than that. I'll say the same to you as I said to Alpal:
