Sims 4 Cheat
VIDEO GUIDE
My Sims 4 Cheats video will introduce you to cheating, give you a rundown of the
most common commands and some tips on using them. Includes info on getting weather
cheats for Seasons players.
TESTING CHEATS
To enable TestingCheats, open the console with Left CTRL+Shift+C (press/hold with one fluid
motion in that order) or by pressing all four shoulder buttons on console. Once the white box
appears, type testingcheats on. To disable testing cheat, type testingcheats off. The cheat
console will say, "Cheats Enabled" or "Disabled". If it does not, you can try other
options: testingcheats 1, testingcheats true, and testingcheats yes all work to enable the Sims
4's testingcheats. Once enabled, they should stay on for your save. Here are the things you
can do with testingcheats - note that this command is also necessary for the extra cheats
further down.
How to Use Shift-click Style Cheats on PS4/Xbox Consoles - Shift clicking on Xbox One and
Playstation 4 is obviously not possible. You enable this option by pressing X+O (PS4) or A+B
(Xbox One).
Shift-Click the Mailbox to access the cheat to stop a Sim's need decay for your current
household or the entire neighborhood (effectively make everyone happy). Disable Need Decay
will make needs stop falling and re-enabling them is as simple as selecting "Enable Need
Decay". Make Happy will then fill needs to the maximum. You can do this on an individual Sim
level by Shift-Clicking Your Sims. This will let you select to make only that Sim's needs static
or make them happy by filling all needs. You are also able to completely redesign a Sim by
shift-clicking them and selecting Modify in CAS. This takes you to Create-A-Sim where you
can make the Sim look however you want, but not change their gender or traits.
Shift-Clicking NPC Sims will allow you to add them to your household. You will find it's
possible to enable/disable need decay and make them happy if you so choose - good if your
Sim's date has to leave due to being tired! You can also Edit them in CAS if you like.
Shift-Clicking the Ground will allow you to Teleport anywhere you could walk in the
neighborhood. Shift-Clicking Objects allows you to reset them, should something get stuck or
broken.
Shift-Clicking Objects, for those that can get dirty, allows you to either make them dirty or
clean - all objects can be reset, as well. Use this if an object is bugged, but it's more likely to
be useful when a Sim freezes.
Customize the size of Items - Enlarge or Shrink - For decorative purposes, this one is a
winner. It allows you to alter items while retaining their other properties (so a masterpiece
painting shrunk down will consume less wall space). This cheat only works while in build
mode, as changing object size requires you to be able to fit it somewhere. Take the object you
want to change size of and Press Shift + ] (right bracket) to make it bigger. You can shrink
objects down to one tile by using Shift + [ or using Control + Z to undo your changes. Press
this too much and it will grow enormously. The controls for this are a little wonky, so
experimentation is recommended. I press control + ] then move the object to see the change.
This is necessary. Thankfully, if you go overboard like in the picture above you can always
undo it and shrink the object down to a size you like.
Testingcheats on should be enabled, as some cheats will not work without it. Skill/Career
cheats only effect the selected Sim.
Money X - Type Money 50000 or 1000000, whatever you like, and your family will have that
amount exactly. This can be used to subtract funds, because it sets the money to whatever
amount you specify. Motherlode is a wonderful cheat, but somewhat outdated given this
powerful function.
Infinite Consumables - One-time use potions can be bought with satisfaction. You may also
milk Cow Plants that have killed Sims to get a potion that increases a Sim's lifespan. You can
make these consumables infinite by using the objects.consumables_infinite_toggle Cheat.
This can allow you to always get a particular Emotion, or make a Sim immortal with aging still
on.

CAREERS CHEATS
To cheat career levels, join the Career you want and with testingcheats enabled,
type Careers.promote X - for example careers.promote astronaut would promote your Sim to
the next level in the Astronaut career. Any Careers that have multiple words should contain no
spaces, for example careers.promote secretagent.
careers.demote X also works, causing a Sim to go back a level. You cannot use this to go
back to the branch choice for a career - if you're at the first level of a branch, you'll be fired
using this. If you don't know which branch you want, check out the linked Career guides to
see the benefits and pay of each. The Careers Guide also has a table to compare careers.
If you are not aware, you'll love this trick: to quickly get multiple promotions, copy the
command below for the career you're in - just the careers.promote x part - and paste it into the
game's command line with Control - V (Command-V on Mac). Paste it until you're level 10!
SCHOOL CHEATS
SKILL CHEATS
Stats.Set_Skill_Level is the skill cheat. You must put a skill and level in the code. As an
example, type Stats.set_skill_level major_painting 7 to set painting to level 7 - any level
between 1 and 10 will work. Replace with major_parenting or vampire_lore, based on how the
game defines skills which are listed below. Note the different syntax for fitness, minor skills,
and children's skills. If you cannot get skill cheats to work try stats.set_skill_level
adultmajor_x instead of just 'major'. You can find _ near the backspace key on your keyboard.
To max all skills quickly, copy stats.set_skill_level major_ and paste it into your command
console in-game. Finish the command with the skill, then the level. This doesn't work for
fitness so you need to copy that line. Remember Photography caps at 5.
We have a Toddler Guide where you can learn about the Toddler Skills. These cap at 5, though
potty is maxed at level 3.
All skill cheats begin with stats.set_skill_level see full cheat on communication skill example
below
EMOTION CHEATS
This requires TwistedMexi's AllCheats but is something people frequently want to do so I'm
listing it here. You can influence Emotions slightly by adding buffs to Sims, though you may
need happy or other boosts to put them at 'Very Inspired' or add more negative buffs to make
a Sim super-embarrassed (Mortified). Here are some I took from TwistedMexi's wiki which I'm
using with his permission. Use Sims.add_buff X, for example Sims.add_buff social_happy:
Traits can be equipped to Sims, as well as Satisfaction Point Rewards and those you earn for
completing Aspirations. The cheat to add/remove them is Traits.equip_trait
X or Traits.Remove_trait X. Nearly all Trait Cheats can be found here. Most are simply the
name of the trait, but it's not always the case. For example, there are:
RELATIONSHIP CHEATS
For example:
modifyrelationship Bella Goth Mortimer Goth 100 LTR_Friendship_main - Bella and Mortimer
are now best friends
modifyrelationship Bella Goth Fluffy Goth 100 LTR_SimtoPet_Friendship_main - Make Bella
friends with her pet if playing Cats and Dogs.
modifyrelationship Bella Goth Mortimer Goth -100 LTR_Friendship_main - this will make Bella
and Mortifer go all the way to enemies
modifyrelationship Bella Goth Mortimer Goth 100 LTR_Romance_main - They're now
soulmates if they have a high friendship level as well
modifyrelationship Bella Goth Mortimer Goth -100 LTR_Romance_main - Drain their romance
bar all the way to red
The following are, again, provided by TwistedMexi who kindly took the time to find these
cheats hidden within the game engine. Here are the most requested cheats from this
Expansion. The others are spread about, such as in the careers and skills sections above. You
can learn about Get to Work here.
Alien abductions are a thing in Get to Work, and I've made a page about the cheats (or honest
means) of getting a Sim abducted to get an Alien baby.
Learn about the Get Famous Expansion Pack here. Get Famous includes a lot of the cheats
you need through the testingcheats interface. Shift-click Sims and you can use the 'Public
Image' menu to increase the celebrity's fame rank, tweak their public image from good or bad,
or even freeze their fame and remove specific quirks. If you want to reset fame perks, that's
doable with the phone for $275. The actor career, acting skill, and media production are all
found in their relevant categories but I'll list them: stats.set_skill_level major_acting 10,
stats.set_skill_level minor_mediaproduction 5, careers.promote actor or, for children,
careers.promote dramaclub for example.
The following restaurant perk cheats for the The Sims 4 Dine Out Game Pack were gathered
based on the format for the GTW Cheats as this category seems to borrow from Get to Work's
Retail. I found the same code works, just had to track down the name of them within the files.
You'll notice they differ. Note that Meal Rush and Surplus Harvest can be used every 24 hours.
For those like additional employees or discounts on ingredients, you may need to take them in
oder. You can take tidy tippers multiple times but I'm not sure if you need to do something
special to add extra ranks.

VAMPIRES CHEATS
PARENTHOOD CHEATS
The Sims 4 Parenthood comes with a new Parenting skill, which can be cheated in with
stats.set_skill_level major_parenting X - it's in the major skills list above.
Toddlers, Children, and Teens can have experience in five different character values, which
range from -100 to 100 (bad or good). You can set these manually so that when the Sim ages
up to adult they will receive reward traits that reflect their morality, manners, etc. They are set
with: stats.set_stat lifeskillstatistic_empathy 100, as an example or stats.set_stat
lifeskillstatistic_conflictresolution -100 - here's the full list. Be sure to include a number, based
on how full or negative you'd like the experience bars to be:
Cats and Dogs offers a few ways to cheat. For one, you can raise the skills listed above (in-
game code of Major_veterinarian and Skill_Dogtraining). You can also cheat to
unlock Veterinarian Clinic perks. Here's the full list of codes to unlock them. After enabling
testingcheats you'd type bucks.unlock_perk AdditionalVet_1 true to unlock the additional
veterinarian. Note the _ as well as spaces between unlock_perk and true.

SEAONS CHEATS
The Sims 4 Seasons Expansion Pack does not offer many careers or skills to cheat (only three
listed on the Career and Skill Cheats sections) but it's possible to Cheat to change the
weather with a mod. You can also eqiup your Sim with the scouting aptitude reward trait and
other rewards from the DLC. Click to learn about the new Scouting Career for children and
teens.
STRANGERVILLE
The Sims 4 Strangerville Game Pack only comes with a few cheats, notably the Military Career
(above), and the potential to gather some evidence via show hidden objects in buy mode. See
the Strangerville Cheats page for more details.
Ahead of the launch of The Sims 4 Island Living, I published Cheats for Mermaids,
Conservationists and Traits in Island Living. This guide will serve to put it all in one place
while others are listed elsewhere on the site in their proper categories, as it should be. This
pack also added Part Time Jobs, and while they used to be Teen-only you can now take them
on as a Young Adult through Elder. Cheating them is pretty easy, they have the prefix
PartTime_ so you'd type careers.promote PartTime_Lifeguard to promote your Sim in the
Lifeguard job.
