The Sims and The Sims 2 Legacy: Check Out Functional Codes

Who has never used Klapaucius in The Sims, cast the first stone. Or how about the famous Motherlode or Rosebud?

If you’re excited to revisit the classic games in the franchise with the recent re-release but also want to take advantage of cheats and codes, we’ve got you covered. Below, you’ll find all the functional codes and their purposes in both games. Check them out!
