Get Sim Id Cheat «12...Next Go

twincicle12

I am trying to get my sims "id" for a cheat, but it wont work, do i need a special patch or mod?

rosemow

Hello.
This is the code for the cheat. Check to make sure that it is the same as what you are typing in.

sims.get_sim_id_by_name (first name) (last name)

Type in testingcheats on before typing in the cheat. Also don't put the brackets.

Yes, use spaces.

twincicle12

thats weird it is still not working...

rosemow

Try typing
testingcheats true
Sometimes that can work better than testingcheats on.

Hello @Adrianna .
You need to type in Sims.get_sim_id_by_name {yoursimsfirstname} {yoursimslastname}
Dont use the brackets, and make sure that you put the lines between the words.
Also type in
testingcheats true
then press enter before typing in the cheat.

Sims.get_sim_id_by_name {yoursimsfirstname} {yoursimslastname} do you have something else because this one doesn't work even with testingcheatsenabled true

Hello
The sims actual first and second name needs to be used, not the words yoursimsfirstname and yoursimslastname.
You may be using the sims first/second name but I just wanted to check
Also, the cheat code is
testingcheats true
without " enabled " in the cheat

when i write only testingcheats true it says something like they can't find it or something like that(doesn't work) but when i write testingcheatsenabled true it work for all the other cheats except the one to fine the id for my sims and yes rosemow i wrote the first and last name xP

Fredereeck

Hello
I am just checking. Are you playing Sims 3 or Sims 4 ?

This section of the forums is for sims 4 issues.
testingcheats true is a sims 4 cheat and testingcheatsenabled true is the sims 3 version. I thought that you were playing sims 4 It would be best to post about your issues in the Sims 3 section of the forums. Because you are a new member and may not be able to start a new thread, you are welcome to post in this thread.

I'm trying to find the code for my sim J Huntington III, but when I put his full name it does nothing. When I put J Huntington it says sim not found. Help?

Hello
Perhaps try placing the " Huntington III " name part in quotation marks for the second name section and see if that may help. There may be issues because of the use of III
Another way is to try typing in Huntington_III

If you still have issues, the Show/search sims mod may be helpful to use for what you are wanting to use the sims Id for.

I have tried this cheat several times now, and it's not working. I've done testingcheats true, typed in the cheat, and put my sim's name in quotation marks (as I like giving my sims a middle name), but it says "Sim not found". I've checked at least twenty times that I've spelled her name and the cheat right. What do I do?

Hello
There may be an issue with your sim having a middle name. Try combining her first and middle names together without using quotation marks and see if helps. Try doing the same thing again but with the combination of the middle and last names, if you still have issues,

My sim name is Ella Meere von Ö, how can I write it on the code to get the id?

Hello @DemonSays
Try putting Meere_von_O or MeerevonO or enclose the last name in quotation marks and see if that helps. Use the symbol that you use for the last letter though, instead of the capital letter O that I used,
