10 Video Game Cheat Codes That Changed Your Life

8. Using A Money Code In EVERY Version Of The Sims

"Hard work is its own reward", is it?

How about we just punch in a few digits and a fully-stocked house rammed full of fancy furniture, trinkets and accessories can be reward enough.

Yes, for as much as The Sims can be a semi-realistic delve into how you'd live an ideal life, or lord over a handful of random humans dependent on you to survive, I've not spoken to a single player that didn't use the money cheat at least once to "get off the ground", or see what the game has to offer overall.

Done in 1000 Simolean increments, on the original PC build you'd type "Rosebud" into the cheat window that was brought up by hitting alt, shift, ctrl and C, then repeating it until you were a millionaire.

Suddenly you can justify those extra chicken coups, oversized TV screens or multiple swimming pools peppering the front and back garden.

It's what we'd all do with that amount of money... right?
