What is that one video game cheat code you'll never forget about?
I'll start us off with the classic "Explode All Cars" cheat from the classic 2004 game Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, as that is one that I remember using a lot for no rhyme or reason:
R2, L2, R1, L1, L2, R2, SQUARE, TRIANGLE, CIRCLE, TRIANGLE, L2, L1
DOOM: IDDQD - god mode, IDKFA - all weapons / items

didn't play much og sims, but sims2 (and later, iirc), motherlode gives more.
i also had a few custom items i could drop in to a house, too.
They also had "kaching" or something similar instead of rosebud in Sims 2 I think. But it was only 1k or 5k unsure. Motherlode was much more ye
Or motherlode
Also "move objects on"
Just gonna delete these bills here... Hey why not the whole mailbox?
I also once had a sim make enough garden gnomes to fill every single tile of the street... Then he kicked one. 😂

Smashing Pumpkins Into Small Pieces Of Putrid Debris
Idk why it has also stuck with me, it's a really cool cheatcode
Something to do with getting the chainsaw ifi. Recall correctly but it never worked for me, or on whatever version of the wad I had.

I like that you specifically remember 2-player mode

Worked in most of the TMNT games too.
aegis for Age of Empires II. Instant building, gathering, research, etc. And of course marco for revealing map and polo to remove fog of war. cheese steak jimmy's for extra food and lumberjack for extra wood. I always struggled to manage those two resources. But even more importantly, how do you turn this on, for that cool siege sports car.

Surprised nobody mentioned "motherlode".
Something like 50k simoleons in The Sims 2. Absolutely essential to any save file.
