The Sims 3 Movement Speed: Cheats, Game Speed, and Mods

No single cheat permanently increases Sim walk/run speed. However, you can manipulate game speed, traits, and install mods for faster navigation.

Built-in Cheats (TestingCheats Required)

1. Press Ctrl+Shift+C → Type `testingcheatsenabled true` → Enter
2. Shift-click Sim → Modify Sim in CAS → Add Athletic trait (faster jogging)
3. Shift-click Sim → Trigger Age Transition → Resets routing issues causing "stuck" slowness

Game Speed Controls

• Speed 3 (Fast Forward): Press 3 or click fastest speed. Accelerates simulation time—tasks complete faster, walk animation unchanged
• Slow Motion: Press 0 or Shift-click Sim → "Slow Motion" for precise positioning

Aging & Needs Cheats (Effective Speed Boost)

• `aging off` — Stops aging, reduces sleep/eat frequency
• `makeNeedsStatic` (with testingcheats) — Freezes need decay. Sim never stops to eat/sleep/pee

Mods for Actual Walk Speed Increase (PC/Mac Only)

• NRaas MasterController / GoHere: Teleportation, advanced routing, walk style assignment
• Walk/Run Speed Mods: Search "Sims 3 walk speed mod" on ModTheSims or CurseForge. Modify `Sim` XML `kWalkSpeed`/`kRunSpeed` values
• Installation: Package files → Mods/Packages folder. Enable "Custom Content" in Game Options

Critical: Backup saves before installing any script mods. Test in new save first.
