I had to bring this post back into the light, since I'm still getting tons of emails on how to activate the gnome in the Sims 2. It is a fairly simple process if you follow the instructions provided on the cheat pages. Please let me know if you have a better alternative way to explain it. Thanks!

The Sims 2 on the PlayStation 2 console has a bunch of cheat codes available. These cheats allow you to fill all motives, get 9,999 Simoleons, set the skill level for any Sim, unlock all recipes, object, lots, locations, clothing, and more. The problem is, you have to activate the 'Cheat Gnome' in order to use any of these cheats.

Using cheats in The Sims 2 is brutally easy, you just have to activate the Gnome first. I have outlined the whole process a bit more clearly on The Sims 2 PS2 Cheats page, since my wording was a bit vague before.

Incidently, if you need cheats for The Sims 2 on any other platform, including the PC expansions, take a look at the Top Sims 2 Cheats page, which lists the cheats for every version of The Sims 2.

(6) Cydney says:

Well, what I did was go into the options menu and insert the cheat code. If your sim is a boy that you are controlling at the moment, you will hear a strange laugh. If it’s a girl, you’ll hear a sigh. Then after a few sim minutes, you will see a trophy-like thing.

When i do the gnome activation cheat it doesn’t work so I left for 5 min and came back and looked at the mailbox and around it.
On the side was a weird statue looking thing with that /\
\/ weird shape on top of it but my sims cant interact with it so i did what you said with the gnome cheat and then the other cheats but my sims still couldn’t interact with it and yes I did it will the game was on pause.

I’ve outlined the steps in quite a few areas, including this article here (http://vgstrategies.about.com/od/ps2cheatscodest/ss/TheSims2CheatGn.htm). Perhaps if someone knows a better way to explain it they can post it here, or shoot me an email and I’ll post it for you. Thanks.

(40) R says:

To those who already get the Gnome:
I don’t get it when everyone said ” pause the game “! Is it pressing L1 button or is it entering the menu by pressing start button or is it when saving game??? the problem is, when you hold L1 to pause, and press other button for the code, the curso keep moving (like: from other char as press R2…) and same when in menu. Only when saving game that we can enter the code without messing the curso. So, what does everyone mean by “pause the game” ????

The gnome cheat works. You need to enter the cheat on pause & you’ll hear a sigh. Un-pause it then enter the other cheats. When you’ve done that go to the white diamond shape (gnome) outside & activate the cheats. I struggled at 1st but they do honestly work

August 3, 2008 at 7:38 pm
(66) Sojo says:

The Gnome cheat WORKS!:), if you follow the instructions precisely, however this may take a few tries. FIRST press pause using the START button, NOT L1, (holding L1 will prevent you from entering the code correctly)make sure you have the code copied down right and clearly so that you don’t have to search for the next symbol or lose your place, (taking too much time between each button will prevent it from recognizing the code). Have the code right in front of you and enter the code by pressing each button hard and individually, but making sure NOT to take time between striking each one. Be sure that you let go fully of each button before pressing the next so that they don’t overlap. Also, a problem I experienced was that my controller was sticking but not enough to be obvious during game-play, just enough to keep a button pressed for a milisecond and mess up my code. I changed controllers and alleviated the problem, (you can also take them apart and clean under the pads – sometimes dirty buttons cause sticking). You will know you’ve entered a code correctly when you hear a female sim sigh. When the gnome appears, (a translucent white diamond shape near the mailbox)and after you’ve entered your other codes, you can stand in front of it and press X (make sure your sim is lined up to it)and an option menu will appear.

August 3, 2008 at 7:43 pm
(67) Sojo says:

Also, the Gnome code must be entered FIRST, before any other cheats or the other cheats won’t be activated.

Did I do the gnome code correctly when I:

-pressed start

-did the L1, R1, up, X and R2 quickly

-THEN I hear a male or gnome voice saying “ha ha ha” or “he he he” not loud.

Is this correct?

But when do you see the gnome thing? is it right after the code or do you have to wait?
And will the gnome thing be seen in every new locations or only where you started the game in story mode for example?

Hope for answer!

(71) Birgitte says:

Another question!!:
suddenly some of my codes are gone. When I try to do the “fill all motives” code again I don’t hear a sigh from a female voice. Instead I hear the gnome’s voice again like you hear when you do the gnome code. It only shows the money code now…

why can’t I do the same codes again?

Ok the gnome cheat explained……..
Play in Free play mode. press the start button. enter the cheat code. Hear the sigh? watch the statuette appear. walk up to it. stand still. enter the other codes. you will hear a sigh after every code. if not your hitting the wrong buttons. after entering the codes. Press the X button. Hey presto your all cheated up. Now for the tricky part….. NOT.
Save the game. go to story mode.
You have all the cheats already there. Now how difficult was that? I did it while stood on my head, making a cheese and sourdough sandwich….

Oh one more thing. I dont even play this game, my girlfriend does. And I managed to get it to work first time!

If this way does not work for you, you only have one more thing left to do. Sell it and move on!

ANSWERS!!!

For those who are trying to just get the gnome at first. When you go to put in the code for the gnome you do NOT hold down the L1 button for pause you press the start button.

Also for all cheats you must put in the correct buttons in each phrase in under 3 seconds. So you HAVE to do it quickly or else the code will not activate.

Thank you *Someone says”!!! After nearly 70 messages someone FINALLY answers the question, “do you have to enter the gnome code each and every time, or just the first time you activate it”! Sheesh! All these smart assed computer geek gurus here and not one person would speak simple english beyond “just enter the code dummy”. This isn’t the only forum for which that has stood true either, several others just reiterate the same snarky geekness re: getting the orignal gnome. And by the way, very few game experts have bothered to explain that you have to enter the codes quickly, and that it takes some digital dexterity to do so. I finally got the gnome up, but there IS a rhythm to it. I’ll let you know if I have any luck with the others now that I know you have to pre-enter the gnome cheat each time prior to the other cheats. Good luck all. (Ps, on the babies in PS2 thing, I’ve heard all over the internet that you can only get them in the PC version).

(164) Tabitha says:

to activate the cheat gnome you do it during game play not during pause. You have to do it kind of fast but not to fast. And the sim will make a yawning noise when you activate a code thats how you will know its correct. Its pretty easy. Does anyone no how you can have a baby? if you can married and “woohoo” why not get pregnant? but how?

March 6, 2010 at 6:24 pm
(169) Felice says:

Ok FIRST OFF, you can not have babies in the sims for PS2!!!

Second, with the gnome, you do not need it to be paused in order for the cheat to work, just put the code in at a quick steady pace and if you hear a woman or man sigh then it worked.

To activate it, put the codes you want in, if the code was put in correctly you will hear the sigh again, once you hear it go to select mode [Press select] and go to the gnome [the white diamond statue thingy] and select it and there’s your cheats.

There are also many helpful comments here but please do not email anyone who has left their email address as it is more than likely someone simply collecting emails so they can add you to a spam list.

I’ve done my best to remove most of the BS comments, but I’m sure many still remain. Just look at the instructions on the official vgstrategies cheat code page for The Sims 2 on PS2.

Other versions of The Sims 2 are all listed on the Top Sims 2 Cheats page.

Other questions please post in the video game cheats forums and a moderator or another member of the community here will try to help you out.

Thanks, Jason.

Hey guys, after trying to get the gnome cheat to work for an hour by repeatedly entering the cheat, I came to the conclusion that it wasn’t going to work :’)
So I changed the PS2 controller, entered the cheat again and it worked, my woman made a sigh and a gnome appeared by the mailbox. So my recommendation is that if you have two PS2 controllers, change the one you’re using to the other one, and try entering the cheat again :) hope it works for you too! xxx

Thanks for some other informative blog. Where else may just I am getting that type of information written in such a perfect manner? I have a challenge that I’m just now operating on, and I’ve been on the glance out for such info.
