Some of these logs are more useful than others, and some you'll probably never use.Įach of the log files can contain entries at the specific log levels INFO, DEBUG, WARN, and ERROR. There are many log groups used in the game, and each group will have it's own log file. Log files aren't actually created or opened until they are used. However, if you want to append to existing log files, you can specify the append flag on the enable command: By default, when a log file is opened it will be overwritten because otherwise the log files can grow to huge sizes. Wow, almost too simple! There is one option that can be specified to the enable command. There are two cheat console commands to enable and disable logging, but if you need logging disabled from the start there is a configuration variable (“ENABLE_LOGGING_AT_STARTUP”) that can be set for that in the sims_log_enabler.cfg file. There is a HUGE amount of logging going on in the game and logging is enabled by default.
