THE SIMS 4 CHEATS

MONEY, CAREER, SKILL, AND TESTING CHEATS

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.
Now 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.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.

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; 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.
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.

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

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.

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

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.
