A UserStartUpCheat is a small file that allows you to start your sims2 game with your favorite cheats already active. It also allows you to give "nicknames" to the cheat codes. For example instead of typing boolprop allow45degreeangleofrotation true/false you can edit this file so all you have to type is angleon or angleoff.
You can create your own UserStartUp Cheat by opening note pad and typing in the cheats that you want on when the game starts. For instance, I like to allows have the option for to rotate my objects at a 45 degree angle so on one line I entered: boolprop allow45degreeangleofrotation true. This way when the game starts this cheat is already in play.
Once you have entered all of the cheats you want to start with click Save As (be sure to select the type as "All Files") name the file userStartup.cheat. Then save to this location: C:\My Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2\Config.
You are more than welcome to download a copy of the user startup cheat that I use in my game. As I mentioned I like to have the 45degreeangleofrotation cheat on and I also like to turn down the TV and there are a few short cuts that I use:
boolprop allow45degreeangleofrotation true
floatProp tvVolume 0.2
alias moveon "move_objects on"
alias moveoff "move_objects off"
alias snapon "SnapObjectsToGrid true"
alias snapoff "SnapObjectsToGrid false"
alias cheats "help -all"
alias wallup "boolprop renderSelectedSimLevel true"
alias walldown "boolprop renderSelectedSimLevel false"
You can easily edit this file by replacing the alias names or adding your own short cuts. Simply open the file with Notepad and make your changes then install the file (C:\My Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2\Config).
When you set this file up you might be tempted to include boolprop testingcheatsenabled true to always be actived. Most people advise against this, as that cheat can cause some problems. Some of which can be quite serious, just be careful when using that cheat. I am not exactly sure what it can do, because I don't use it much, but it seems to be generally accepted that it can really screw up a good thing.
If you have any questions about this file feel free to visit our forums and post your question - I'd be happy to help.
