Edit 2014-09-11: SimGuruGrant posted a list of cheats over at EA forums (nothing new though).
Edit 2014-09-06: For a long list / discussion of “extended cheats” see here (TwistedMexi).
Edit 2014-09-05: the testingcheats cheat is listed with [true|false] in several guides (official ones too); apparently this is wrong or does not work for everyone.
“Soak testing” cheats (handymen, maids, party situation): see here (TwistedMexi).
