Codename: Post Processing
Platform: PC
Need Help:

If you use the cheats and you don't have pixel shaders, the screen will most likely go partially dark, and will not come back until you turn off enablePostProcessing. If you turn on postprocessing, and you turn on cinematics, and a cinematic plays, you may also experience unwanted graphical glitches.

To use the following cheats, you must have "PostProcessing" enabled!

bloom rgb # = Sitcom flashback blur effect
bloom (r g b #] (rgb is color) (# is the bloom amount) [0.0 - 1.0]:
This cheat adds a blur effect, like a sitcom flashback moment.
Must have entered boolProp enablePostProcessing true for this cheat to work.

vignette # # # = Blurry bits at the edge of the screen.
vignette (centerX centerY X) (X is the vignetteing factor) [0.0 - 1.0]: Adds a blur
effect from the specified center. Using "vignette 0.5 0.5 0.5" should put some
blurry bits at the edge of the screen. Vignette 0.5 0.5 1.0 is maximum edge
blurryness. Must have also entered boolProp enablePostProcessing true for
this cheat to work.

filmGrain # = Grainy screen (# = 0.0 to 1.0)
This cheat makes the screen grainy. Must have also entered boolProp
enablePostProcessing true for this cheat to work.

letterBox # = Adds a letterbox effect to the view. (# = 0.0 to 0.4)

enablePostProcessing true for this cheat to work.

Codename: Free job promotions
Platform: PC
Need Help:

1. To start off, you need to open the cheat box and type 'aging off' (your Sim must be an Adult Male).

2. Get the career you want.

3. Go to work until you bring home a female friend.

4. Get 100/100 relationship and full love for this person. Now send her home.

5. After work, invite your girlfriend over, then bring her to the hot tub and do a WooHoo (if she rejects you, wait until later and try again).

6. Do WooHoos every day for 1 week (e.g. Sunday to Sunday) AND YOU MUST NOT GET A PROMOTION DURING THIS TIME OR THE CHEAT WILL NOT WORK.

7. You must now invite your girl over to your house just before work, then leave for work while she's with you. SAVE NOW.

8. Now: during work you'll be asked a question (with three options: ignore, option 1 and option 2). You must either: click ignore or get the right answer. NOTE: If this message does not come, something is wrong, begin the cheat over.

9. That day, after work, you will come home and will make a pile of money -- there will be about 8-12 messages on the side saying you got promoted to the next job, plus you get one saying you reached the top, blah blah blah.
NOTE: If anything above did not work for you, the cheat HAS NOT WORKED. TRY AGAIN.

10. Enjoy your top rank job! SAVE.
If you're wondering how I figured this out, it was pure coinsidence... I always do a WooHoo with SOMEONE when I come home from work, it's a mood booster.
