  • I have a old computer Really its old so if anyone could help me that would be great!

  • Me too I did all this already, but what it tells me is: Cannot create the E:/EP4/TSData/Res/Config/globa­­lprops.xml file. Please make sure that the path and file names are correct. So my only choice is to press "ok" And I get something that's under Save as, And if I save it exactly how it is, it says that the file already exists, and If I say replace, it says globalprops is set to read-only. Try again with a different file name. What do I do? Please help me, I really need this cheat!

  • it said access denied

  • @MsSimsation

    this is a hidden cheat it shouldnt be in the cheat help box

  • wow thanks this was soooo helpful!!! =]

  • i did all that and it won't work still!

  • Not with windows 7? DAMMIT

  • Will turning off the UAC mess up the computer? I'm worried!

  • why isn't TSdata in my sims 2 folder? :(

  • i have found the Tsdata, but i don't have the maps res, i have only a map called Control ? what must i do now??

  • @aatje13 same here, and mine in the wrong loacation, its so unfair :(

  • can anyone tell me where the download for this is? i can find it on her site

  • Nope don't work with windows 7

  • @HaruHaru765 I have windows 7 and it works

  • Ok for those of you who have Windows 7, I figured out what you can do. Follow all these steps but when you go to save, save it onto your desktop. Then take the globalProps file that is in the folder and drag it into the recycling bin or into a folder if you don't want to delete it. Then drag the globalprops file you have on your desktop into that folder, replacing it and then your done.

  • @AnnieBaee thanks

  • @AnnieBaee you are amazing, thanks

    i just bought a new laptop and i was like.. now how the **** do i do this cheat.

  • @AnnieBaee Thank you thank you thank you ! :D

  • Umm, okay, so I tried to follow this as best I could, but my computer doesn't have the "turn user account control on or off" option thingy in the User Accounts. So I couldn't do those couple of steps, but I followed all the others and I still can't get the 'allmenus on' to work. When I try to enter the cheat in the cheat box it says that there's an error or something. Can anyone help me?? <:(

  • everything works and wen i open global props after i saved and closed note pad it says so and so testingCheatsEnabled so and so <true> bla bla bla but when i open my game i just have origanal options i even tried 'ctrl shift c' to open the cheats box and 'allmenus on' *in the naborhood :p* but im still limited on options and my global props say that allmenus is actvated when i open it up *after i saved* plz help

  • im running it on windows xp. i followed all he steps but wont work. i even entered allmenus on and it didnt accept it as a code. boolprop cheat was workin though

    please help

  • Oh god i love Yann Tiersen <3 And thank you so much for the video, helped a lot :)))

  • Thanks, it saved for me. Now to test it in the game. (:

  • do u have to put it in EVERY expansion pack, the latest pack u installed, or the latest pack EA came out with ( example Aparment life )? cuz i just got apartment life and i HAVE been having trouble with this cheat cuz it doesn't work when i put it in the cheat box D:

  • @starzgurlie75 try do instead of latest epjust open 'The Sims 2 (double deluxe/deluxe) and go from there

  • I was able to correctly follow the steps up to where I needed to save the changes BUT it won't save it as xml. Notepad wants to convert it to txt. or rtf. Sooo am I supposed to allow the change or should it always be xml?

  • okay, i just cant thank you enough!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I had already activiated allmenus on without any trouble, but that was when the latest ep was freetime, then i bought apartment life and it stopped working.

    i've reopened globalProps in the apartment life section to make sure the code is there and it is. i've also taken the code out of the freetime section. i've taken the code out of the AL globalProps, loaded the game, exited and then repasted it but it still isn't working. any idea what i should do?

  • mine say its denied and it wont let me saved, but it used too...

  • @ILovesucksI I suggest, going on notepad and title it, the same thing GlobalProps or something, (I uninstalled Sims 2 so I don't remember) then place it in the file where Global props is because that's how I did mine. Don't forget to press (Yes to replace)

  • it says access denied :( 

  • As said in a previous comment, I couldn't get the file to save on Windows 7. I solved this by changing your computer security to allow any and all changes made to your computer without notification. After i did that, it worked fine.

  • I swear I am on as an administrator but it won't save. No matter what I do. I am in the right place. And I did exactly as the video says. An error comes up saying, "Cannot create the _____________________ file.

    Make sure the path and file name are correct."

  • @ErintheGallant im having the same problem :/

  • @ErintheGallant ME TOO!!!!! >:(

  • @ErintheGallant same thing is happening with me :(

  • @ErintheGallant You're right... It's the same with me T_T ...

  • Does it work on mac? It's so stupid, cuz I figured out how to get to where everyone said to go (like, hard drive/Sims2/EPs/Pets/Res/Confi­g/) and when I open the GlobalProps thing, a game comes up! (Like a game that was already installed on the computer when I bought it from the store.) What the heck is wrong with it?!

  • I don't think this works for Windows 7 T_T

  • @RandomFans I'm also having problems on 7. I can't save the XML file after editing it. I'm logged in as an administrator, literally following the tutorial step-by-step and read several other tutorials without success. Worst part is there's no asking for help without being told you're doing it wrong or to reread the tutorials.

  • @RandomFans yeah.... DANGIT :'(

  • @RandomFans for w7 i just followed what was on jd-movies and typed in allmenus on and it worked for me fine.

  • @RandomFans That's weird because the person did this on Windows 7.

    And mine works.. =/

  • @xXxSmilingOceanxXx the person didn't do it on Windows 7 it was don't by Windows Vista

  • @AlesiaVideos Oh really? Because mine looks just like this but it says mine is Windows 7

    and actually no mine does not work so I guess it doesn't work for Windows 7 :(

    But thanks anyways :)

  • @xXxSmilingOceanxXx it should have worked on Windows 7 because I did it on my cousin laptop and it's Windows 7

  • @AlesiaVideos it worked with me too

  • @RandomFans it works with me

  • @RandomFans of course it works

  • omg ty by the way every1 u hav to type Allmenus on

  • why when i go to type allmenus on,

    on the game is says error command not found?

    something like that

  • I have widnows vista, i idd everything correct, and when I got to the neighborhood i typed in allmenus on, and it doesn't work. anyone know what i need to do?

  • it didnt work T-T

  • You need to activate the cheat in the game. Type: allmenus on

  • i've tried that but it didnt work

  • I try do it, but it's not working!!

  • How do you work it for windows 7 because i dont see where it says "Turn user accounts control off or on" thingy! PLEASE HELP!

  • @Sims2TeenDrama In the same place, it will say something else, along similar lines. Click that and drag the slider down to the bottom, the rest is the same as the vid. Hope this helps, I'm on windows 7 too.

  • OK i found where to write ''allmenus on'' open Ctrl + Shift + C and write ''allmenus on'' if you don't want it anymore just type ''allmenus off''

  • ''Don't forget to type "allmenus on" while in the game!'' but where should I write it then?

  • how do you log in with the administrator

  • @darkangelsheka Click the admin account and type in the password... You can also use Change my account type to change your account to an admin.

  • i dont have note pad

  • i dont have a notepad D:

  • @boycraz2

    Open it using some other word editing thingy then.

  • if you did it when you only had sims2 the base game, and ten you got new eps would i have to change the basegames file

  • yes i think you would for the cheat would not respond properly. luckily you only need to edit the globalwhatever thing for the most recent (recently made like freetime) ep you have. ^^

  • wen i go to save it it says access is denied. what should i do about that?

  • will this harm my computer if i turn the protection off?

  • ugh, now it says i dont have an expansion pack, but i have like 3 . so it wont pop up .

    HELP.

  • i would sugest you do not use this. Turning of protection can damage important files in your computer.

  • Hi. excuse me, but, could you please send me a message witch music this is :O

  • Hi, thank you for the helpful video. Its really well made and explains very well. However, I'm not sure how to use it with my game, because it is a collection. (Best of Business Collection) So, I'm not sure which EP or Stuff Pack to change. I'm also confused because, when my game loads, it plays the Mansion & Garden Stuff load screen. Any suggestions are very much appreciated.

  • OMG i don't have tsdata or res :( help!

  • I don't have tsdata or res either and It only lets me go to The Sims 2 folder not my ep's folder.

  • @ambby1 Are you looking in the right place?

  • will anything bad happen if i turn the controll off??

  • yay it works!!! thank youuuu!

  • uhm, i am logged on as admin (theres only one acc on this comp, so im deff on admin) and when i save it says theres no such location available?

  • This song is from ThePiano we watched it at school

  • No it's from Amélie, a French movie.

  • it's pretty much the same with XP but you don't have to change the User settings like you did at the beginning. :D

  • Ok, what if it doesnt work? Will it probably work with windows vista or for sure not work with windows vista?

  • I have two questions:

    I have The Sims 2 Deluxe and I don't have any expansion packs, so I go to My computer > Program Files > EA GAMES > The Sims 2 Deluxe > EP2 and I do everything else that leads to globalProps.xml.

    Is that the right way to do it? Will it still work?

    Question 2 -

    When I try and save the globalProps.xml file, the file extension changes to .txt. Will that still work?

    Please help, thanks. :[

  • Ive tried allmenues on, allmenuson, AllMenusOn, All Menus On, AllMenus on.....-thinks.- Yeah.

  • thanks for the help...

  • Dude Me and you have the same computer!

  • I put in "boolprop testingcheatsenabled true" in the neighborhood then put in "AllMenus on".

    it took boolprop testingcheatsenabled true but not Allmenus on. So what am I doing wrong?

  • you need to type the cheat in with small letters, y'know "allmenus on"

  • This doesn't have to do with your question,but make sure to always turn off Boolprop when your done.If Not,it messes up your game.[Happend to Me]..

  • I never do and my game is still running fine.

    One thing I do suggest though, is that if you age your sims from child to a teen or adult, dont think about trying to go back to a child. heh. Doesnt work, You get a blue face.

  • that happened to me too!

    HELP!

  • it wont let me save it

    it keeps saying that it cant save it, cuz of the path and file name. im confused. i followed all the instructions and i have a windows vista

  • I have XP,and I have the same problem
