Edit 2014-09-11: SimGuruGrant posted a list of cheats over at
EA forums (nothing new though).
Edit 2014-09-06: For a long list / discussion of
“extended cheats” see
here (TwistedMexi).
Edit 2014-09-05: the
testingcheats cheat is listed with [true|false] in several guides (official ones too); apparently this is wrong or does not work for everyone.
