THE SIMS 4 CHEATS

MONEY, CAREER, SKILL, AND TESTING CHEATS

The Sims 4 Cheats - Command Console
Control + Shift + C - The Sims 4 Cheat console allows you to use commands to
expand building options, boost Skills, get promoted in Careers, and even finish
Aspirations to earn reward traits and points to buy Rewards in the store
This is a list of cheats in The Sims 4 that allow you to get money, prevent death,
and adjust your Skill and Career levels. Much more can be done with testingcheats
and cheats that were not officially released by Maxis. Here's everything you need to
know to cheat in The Sims 4. Look to the bottom of the list for expansion-specific
cheats (currently Get to Work). We're also updated with more official cheats from
EA, including MoveObjects!

Open the Cheat Console by pressing Control + Shift + C. From there, you can type
commands that function as cheats for The Sims 4. Press enter to activate the cheat,
then press control + shift + c again to close the cheat console.

Here's a quick list of the main cheats you need:

Type kaching or rosebud - Gives the family $1000 each time you type them.
Type Motherlode - Gives the family $50,000 each time you type it.
Sim Stuck? Type Resetsim Firstname Lastname - to reset a stuck Sim back to the
home lot and resume your game.
Type death.toggle true/false Use false to disable death. You will need to do this
every time you load your game. Without true/false it does not say death is off/on,
just that it's toggled.. It's safer to just use death.toggle false
hideheadlineeffects on/off toggle between showing headline effects over Sims. This
is good for taking screenshots or making movies.
freerealestate on/off - Makes homes free when typed while shopping for a house this can let you live in a mansion without needing to afford it. This is a helpful cheat
when you're Moving a Sim out of the house and want that Sim to live in a better
home.
households.autopay_bills - Annoying bills will trouble you no longer.
Sims (4) 1

sims.remove_all_buffs will remove all moodlets from your Sim. Those from high
needs and environment will come back up, so you can effectively remove negative
moodlets with this one.
fps on/off - display frames per second. Good for tuning graphical settings for optimal
performance.
fullscreen - type this to toggle between fullscreen and windowed mode - you can
even adjust window size! Great for checking guides while you play.
bb.moveobjects - the Move Objects cheat returned in a Patch. Type this, then use 9
and 0 to adjust the item being 'held'. With this, you have powerful creative control
over objects and can place them without constraint. It allows for some super cool
looks, so experiment with this one if you love building/decorating!
bb.showhiddenobjects (Buydebug Cheat) - After typing this, look to the top right of
the list for 'Filter Objects'. You can see Content there. Under Content will be Debug.
Then, when going to a category, you will see only the Debug objects. By doing this,
you can build things like ponds on your lot, objects created by skills, and other
debug objects. An easy way to see everything under build mode is to go to objects
by function and select Show All on that dropdown. To find Ponds for fishing holes,
type fishing in the search box.
bb.enablefreebuild - Allows you to build on otherwise locked lots, such as the new
Active Careers' Science Lab, Police Station, and Hospital
bb.ignoregameplayunlocksentitlement - to make that one more readable, it's
spelling ignore gameplay unlocks entitlement. This allows you to ignore the
restrictions placed on certain objects and the styled rooms that come with career
promotions.
Build Mode Cheats
We've got build mode cheats listed above, but you can learn a lot more about using
them by visiting the Building Cheats page.

TESTING CHEATS
Testing Cheats
To enable Testing Cheats, 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.
Sims (4) 2

Shift-Click the Mailbox to access the ability to lock needs for your current household
or the entire neighborhood. Disable Need Decay will make needs stop falling; reenabling 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 ShiftClicking 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-ASim where you can make the Sim look however you want, but not change their
gender or traits.

To fully edit a Sim in Create-a-Sim, type cas.fulleditmode with Testing Cheats On.
This will let you change the gender, traits, everything, and is much more powerful
than the scaled down version you get without typing this cheat. Thanks Pokeh321
for giving me this information.

Shift-Clicking NPC Sims At the moment, this one seems to have disappeared. When
it's working, it 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 objectcs can be reset, as well.

The Sims 4 Cheats - Grow objects bigger or shrink them

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
Sims (4) 3

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

Powerful Hidden Cheats
With the permission of TwistedMexi, a Simmer who took the time to look into The
Sims 4's source code and find all the developer cheats, I am listing the cheats that
help with Sims 4's Skills, Careers, and other common things here. You can find a full
list of cheats TwistedMexi has discovered here. The Wiki is being updated with newly
discovered cheats, so you might find something that helps you a lot there.

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_milestone and

you will get all the satisfaction from completing those, while moving closer to the
special trait you get. You can do this over and over to get all special reward traits on
a Sim. To simply get 100 Satisfaction, type sims.add_buff Points, followed by
sims.remove_buff points. You must type these two over and over to get the 100
satisfaction again. The Aspiration cheat is better in my opinion.

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.

Sims (4) 4

Remove negative moodlets by typing Sims.remove_all_buffs. This will take away

positive as well, but you can get those back. The link to TwistedMexican's wiki has a
list of all buffs, which can be added/removed individually.

Careers Cheats - Type Careers.promote X - for example careers.promote astronaut

would promote your Sim 1 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.

Skill Cheats - Type Stats.set_skill_level skill X with X being the level of skill you'd like
the selected Sim to be. You can find _ near the backspace key on your keyboard.
Skills are named like this:

Stats.set_skill_level major_handiness 10 - make handiness 10. Note the Major_

before the skill name. If you did this, you'd see the level 10 popup. If you want to
see what unlocks with each level, read the guide or adjust it by 1 each time so that
you can see information on each new level. Here are all the skills you can type
Major_Baking - Get to Work
Major_Bartending (Mixology)
Major_Charisma
Major_Comedy
Major_Fishing
Major_Gardening
Major_GourmetCooking
Major_Guitar
Major_Handiness
Major_Herbalism - Outdoor Retreat Game Pack

Head to TwistedMexican's wiki to find more. I've only listed common cheats that I
think players would use regularly. If you visit the wiki, you can find cheats for adding
Traits, boosting (or destroying) relationships, aiding in Sim death, and even how to
make a Sim behave as a maid.

GET TO WORK CHEATS

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.

Retail Perk Cheats

Be sure to include the true at the end of these cheats in order to unlock the
associated perk. This makes perk point cheats unnecessary, though it does require
a bit more typing.
