I found a cheat not being listed here

[Blanchflower]

Hi everyone, I found a cheat for the Sims 3 which is not being listed on Carl's Sims 3 guide website. The cheat code is "freerealestate". Basically, you have to type in testingcheatsenabled true first before making this cheat work.

This cheat gives you free lots. That means you can use a single Sim to purchase a lot which is over his/her budget. Hope this helps! Cheers!

By the way, I don't wish to start a new thread but I have a newbie question to ask. What does CAS stand for in Sims 3?

Welcome to the forum!  I understand not wanting to start another new thread and will answer your question anyway.  In the future, either include something about the second question/item, or start another thread.  It makes it much easier for people to find the things they are looking to have answered if they are properly labeled.    Anyway, CAS stands for Create A Sim.

Thanks for the reply. So why isn't the cheat freerealestate not being included in the guide?

Thanks!

So why isn't the cheat freerealestate not being included in the guide?

Because it wasn't known or was overlooked.  I tried to test it just now and wasn't able to make it work, but it was with an existing family with a lot of money.  I tried to get one of them to move to a new house free.  Anyway, I'm moving this to the Guide Corrections Board and will make sure Carl sees it.  Thanks for posting about it.

Well before you enter a town, you have to use the "testingcheatsenabled true". Then when you are in town, type in "freerealestate, spacebar and enter" Then it will work! Hope this helps! In this way, even a single Sim in a household can afford to buy the most expensive house or lot!

Then do you just use your cell phone to move like any other time?  Except the houses will be $0 instead of whatever their prices are?

Well, I have not tested this method yet but when I have the time, I will tell you the results. By the way, the above mention cheat actually works when you move your family to an expensive lot for the first time in edit town.

I've been able to use it without testingcheatsenabled.

I'll happily add it, but anyone know if it's specific to an expansion or is available in Vanilla?I don't want to steer people wrong on this.

It's been there since the Base Game.

Carl, here is the link for the Sims Wiki list of cheats - click here . 
Look under # 7 for the 'free real estate' cheat.  It has worked since the Sims 3 first came out.

@ mtglady

Your link does not work.  Can you please check and correct it?  I would like to see the list of cheats you are talking about.  Thanks!

[Saltypaws]

It worked for me wild and that cheat is in there.   Think I will try that one myself.

[Carl]

Thanks for the clarification, I'll add it tomorrow
