Plumbbob getting in the way

Vershner

Does anyone know of a tweak or mod to stop the plumbbob covering up the speech and thought bubbles? It's always getting in the way, especially when they're on the phone.

Press Control+Shift+C and either:
1) Type in the letter p and press tab key. After that press enter. (It's the quickest way)
2) Type in this cheat:

plumbobtoggle

You don't need to put on or off after the cheat. Press enter. The first method just fills the cheat box for you.

Ah... seems that requires a later expansion. I only have the base game.

If you only have the base game, patch the game. The latest version has all the cheat codes ever added into the game (even this).
No cheat code actually requires expansion packs to exist (some need these to work).
You can find a download link in this The Sims Wiki page. (http://sims.wikia.com/wiki/The_Sims_2:_Apartment_Life/Patch)

Some cheats do require expansion packs, @EgonVM

For example: forcetwins requires Open for Business or a later EP.

Or the M&G *Stuff pack~ That one has them all, iirc.

The patch will install and work, even though I don't have that version?

No it won't install. Don't know why he told you to install that patch since you don't have that EP.

EP patches do not patch the base and all other EPs. You need each patch for each EP. Unless a modder made one big patch.
