HOW TO CHEAT
To use cheats in The Sims 4, press Control + Shift + C to toggle the console.
Press enter after typing the cheat. For many cheats, you must also
use testingcheats on or they will not work. Most cheats are used in live mode
(F2).
SIMS 4 CHEATS
TESTING CHEATS
To enable Testing Cheats, open the console with Left CTRL+Shift+C
(press/hold in that order) and type testingcheats on. To disable them,
type testingcheats off. The console will say, "Cheats Enabled". If it does not,
you can try other options: testingcheats 1, testingcheats true,
and testingcheats yes all work to enable the cheats. You must do this every
time you load an area until a bug is fixed. Here are the things you can do with
testingcheats - note that this command is also necessary for the extra cheats
further down.
Shift-Click the Mailbox to access the ability to stop need decay for your
current household or the entire neighborhood (effectively make everyone
happy). Disable Need Decay will make needs stop falling; 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 or reset
them if they get stuck. You should also be able 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.
Customize the size of Items - Enlarge or Shrink - This 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 + ] 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.
SKILL, CAREER, AND ASPIRATION CHEATS
Testingcheats on should be enabled, as some cheats will not work without it.
Skill/Career cheats affect 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.
Satisfaction/Aspiration Cheats -
Type aspirations.complete_current_milestoneand you will get all the
satisfaction from completing that milestone and move on to the next, one
stage closer to the special trait you get for completing the aspiration. You can
do this repeatedly until you have every Reward trait and gobs of satisfaction.
It's listed above but bears repeating here: sims.give_satisfaction_points gives
the selected Sim an amount of satisfaction equal to what you enter.
sims.give_satisfaction_points 50000 would give you 50k.
CAREERS CHEATS
While already in the career you want (via normal hiring from the phone or
computer) and with testingcheats on, 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.
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
Raise a Sim's grades with careers.promote gradeschool or careers.promote
highschool. You can lower them as well with careers.demote
gradeschool/highschool.
SKILL CHEATS
Type Stats.set_skill_level major_X with X being the level of skill you'd like the
selected Sim to be. Note the different syntax for fitness and children's skills in
the list below. If you cannot get skill cheats to work try stats.set_skill_level
adultmajor_x. You can find _ near the backspace key on your keyboard.
To max all cheats 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.
EMOTION CHEATS
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:
RELATIONSHIP CHEATS
For example:
The following are, again, provided by TwistedMexican who kindly took the time
to find these cheats hidden within the game engine. Here are the most
important finds. You can find more on his specific wiki about GTW.
The following restaurant perk cheats for Dine Out were gathered based on
Twistedmexi's format for the GTW Cheats. 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 waiter 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.
RESTAURANT PERKS
The Sims 4 cheats look a lot like the ones used in The Sims 3. But there are
some new cheats in The Sims 4 for PC and Mac. (Including The Sims 4 City
Living cheats, The Sims 4 Get Together cheats, The Sims 4 Get to Work cheats,
The Sims 4 Dine Out cheats, The Sims 4 Outdoor Retreat cheats and The Sims
4 Spa Day cheats) Here is a list with all of them. Use them wisely.
These cheats are all tested and safe to use.
Use the Cheat Console by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+C. Input the cheat codes into the
text input field that appears at the top of the screen. Input the cheat
code testingcheats true.
Use these cheats to max out your skill level. If you don't want to max your skill level
you can change the number 10 with the preferred skill level from 1 to 9. Use the
Cheat Console by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+C. Input the cheat code testingcheats
true.

If you want to promote your Sims in their careers, use these cheats! Do you want to
demote your Sims in their career, just replace promote for demote. Use the Cheat
Console by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+C.
Cheat Code Result
Change your Sims emotions with moodlet cheats. Every moodlet cheat gives +2. If
you want a +1 moodlet you can replace High for Low. Example: Sims.add_buff
EnergizedLow. The moodlet that lasts 12 hours is the special Cowplant buff/debuff.
Some buffs only work if you remove other moodlets. Use the Cheat Console by
pressing CTRL+SHIFT+C. Input the cheat code testingcheats true.
