Cheater, Cheater, Derek Jeter! That’s how it goes, right?  Some would say that its lame if your life sucks bad enough that you have to play a simulation to make it better. Well thats okay, we’re all lame here!  However, cheating in said simulation, well, that’s just sad no matter what views you have.  But we all do it – either to get quick money or to experiment with the various things the developers have hidden.

GameInformer has posted simple steps for both The Sims 3 on PS3 as well as Xbox 360 on how you can access the cheats so your Sim can escape their sad, pathetic life:

Everything you could ever want in the console version of The Sims 3 comes from a magical llama who, through simple interactions, can grant a bottomless bank account and unlock all of the powers (including my favorite, Firestorm) and items in the game.

WARNING: Activating the cheat will disable achievements, trophies, and challenges for your current save file! The game will prompt you to save a duplicate file before activating the cheat (which you should do), ensuring that you can go back to an unsullied version of your sims.

With the caveats out of the way, here’s how you do it:

  • You must be in-game with your sims
  • Press Start to bring up the pause menu
  • Press the four shoulder buttons simultaneously. That’s L1, R1, L2, R2 on PS3, and LT, RT, LB, RB on 360.
  • A dialogue box pops up and asks if you want to enable cheating. You do!
  • Now you can select Spoot the Llama from the menu. Go to build mode, open the catalog, select “buy,” and find the llama by going to “Décor,” then “Misc Décor.” You can place him for free!
  • Once the llama is on your lot, go back to live mode. You can interact with it to access all of the cheats.
