I saw in my Strategy guide, that one of the cheats "shazaam" is supposed to give 2500 lifetime happiness points to the active sim... I tried this and it wasnt working, i got a message saying there was no such cheat or something like that....

so i was wondering if perhaps I had it wrong? did i have the wrong cheat? maybe its just me? or is this one of those "Supposed-to-be" cheats that ended up "Never being" after all, so my best bet is to find some other cheat/mod to take its place...

anyhoo thanks ^_^

There is no such command "shazaam" (debug or not), sounds like the strategy guide has it wrong.

If you enable the (real) debug window, you can use the "lifetimehappiness" cheat. There's a mod available to enable the debug window:

Alternatively, you can use the awesomemod from moreawesomethanyou:

Note that these two mods are incompatible; you need to choose one or the other. The awesomemod is more complex, but gives you a lot more control over your game.

Prima is wrong..which is not unusual. I just checked my guide and found it. I've also noted 3 other errors and I haven't gotten half way through the book yet. hehe

I tried that cheat and it didn't work for me. I also have awesome and the debug mod.

I'm going to lock, as God has spoken in the form of 'Rick'. This cheat is not viable.
