Sims2 What is in your UserStartup.cheat file?

I have a fairly long user start up cheat file that was made for me a few years back. I've never touched or added to it but recently discovered the wonders of the M&G quarter tile cheat. I don't know how I decorated without it now! Only trouble is I can't remember long cheats so I'm having to load up my Word document and copy paste it into my cheat bar every time I want it. The person who made my cheat file isn't involved in the sim community anymore so I can't ask them. Does anyone know if that cheat can be added to the user cheat file?

If it can does this look correct

alias tileon "setQuarterTilePlacement on"
allies tileoff "setQuarterTilePlacement off"

Mine reads like this:

alias qon "setquartertileplacement on"

alias qoff "setquartertileplacement off"

you can change the 'qon' and 'qoff' to whatever you want to.

I'll have to try that than as what I put in broke my cheat file. Tried to put in move objects as I normally do with mon and it said there was an error. Thing is setQuarterTilePlacement on was how I was using it in the cheat bar so why isn't it working in the cheat file? Does it have to be in a certain place? I put it at the beginning. I'll try it the way you have it.

This is what I have in userstartup.cheat file, feel free to use it if it helps you. I didn't know anything about userstartup.cheat until last year, so helpful. Karen

Thanks, I'll try it your way-forgot before I loaded up today. :/

Edit. Oh my I found out why I didn't work-the cheat was already in there! It probably didn't like the cheat being repeated. My cheat file is so huge I hadn't noticed.

Glad you sorted it all out

I've never even heard of startup cheats until now. This sounds very interesting. I'm going to use some of this, so thank you all for sharing.

I wouldn't be without it. Do you know where to put it?

Yes, I do. Thanks.

You people happen to know what i am doing wrong? My alias for move_objects on works but the off one doesn't :/ Haven't tried the others though... since i just installed sims 2 again...
