Thank you to AnnoyingEvil1 for all of this information on the boolProp testing cheat:
USE THIS CHEAT AT YOUR OWN RISK!
boolProp testingCheatsEnabled true
Many people are wondering about this cheat that everyone is talking about and some want to know if it is safe to use, some want to know the stuff it does and some just want to know how to type it in!! Well here's a sort of player's guide to the cheat... or more like a FAQ. Call it whatever you want but here it is.
Whats up with this cheat?
boolProp testingCheatsEnabled true is a very powerfull cheat and it enables many new things.
For CAS: After enabling the cheat in the neighborhood, load CAS and go into debugmode by pressing "Shift+N" before making a sim. Then you have the following new things in CAS; new skintones, new clothings and some other options like viewing the skinfilenames.
In game: After entering this cheat, press Shift while left-clicking on a sim to have lots of new options like changing clothes, make your sim fat or thin, set aspiration level, etc, etc. This cheat can also spawn some interesting items like the tombstone of L(ife) and D(eath) that has many options like spawning new family members. We'll get on how to do this next.
How do I type it in??!?!?
First, open up the cheat console (the little window where you type the cheat in) by pressing Shift+Ctrl+C, then type in boolProp testingCheatsEnabled true. If you are trying to use the cheat in CAS (Create-A-Sim mode) I recommend that you type in the cheat while on Neighborhood View. Once CAS is loaded press Shift+N to enable the hidden content. Press Shift+M to disable the hidden items. You only need to do this in CAS. To use the cheat in normal gameplay just hold SHIFT and then click on an object or a sim, I'll explain this in detail later on.
Is this safe to use?
To a certain extent, yes it is safe but you should use some of the stuff it enables you to do at your own risk. There is no trouble when you use it in CAS because all you are doing is selecting clothes/hairstyles/skins/ect... The worst thing it can do if you missuse it out of CAS is crash your game. (Correct me if I'm wrong.) I've found out that the Save/Exit To Neighborhood/Quit buttons grey out when you try to kill a sim when you dont use the tombstone that lets you pick which type of death you want to die. This forces you to quit the game by CTRL+ALT+DELETE and you will lose any gamedata you had not saved. When you SHIFT and CLICK on an object you might get a "Force Error" choice in the pie menu. I would recommend not to select it since it does just what it says; forces the item to create an error. I've clicked it and it pops up a blue window giving you 3 choices; Cancel, Reset and Delete. "Cancel" seems to do nothing and just causes the window to pop-up again. "Reset" resets the item and the window will go away. "Delete" removes the item from the lot but might also delete the object file from the gamedata. To sum it all up, its safe to use in CAS and in MOST parts of normal gameplay but when it comes to "Force Error" just dont click it.
Interactions on the Selected Sim, other Sims, Visitors and NPCs:
When you SHIFT+CLICK on the Sim that has the Plumbob (Crystal Diamond thingy that floats over their head lol) or when you SHIFT+CLICK on any other Sim you will get a pie-menu full of stuff. Clicking "Spawn..." and then an option from the pie-menu will spawn objects that do special stuff. I wouldn't click on "Force Error", "Dump Happy Log" or "Kill..." because they will delete your Sim or cause your game to crash or gray out your Quit buttons.

The only thing the cheat screwed up on my computer is that it's slowed it down a little bit, the symbols for the memories and the occupation are gone and you can't see the grim reaper, only a cloud of grey smoke, his paper and scythe but it's nothing too chaotic, the games still functions properly
