HOW TO CHEAT

To use cheats in The Sims 4, press Control + Shift + C to toggle the console on
and off. Press enter after typing the cheat. For many cheats, you must also
use testingcheats onor they will not work. Most cheats are used in live mode (F2).

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.

Pregnancy and Multiple Birth Cheats

You can use relationship cheats to Try for Baby quickly, and follow up with a
cheat once the Sim is pregnant in order to force the Sim into labor. You can also
cheat to get twins, triplets, quadruplets, or more! Find this near the end of
the Pregnancy Guide.
Cheats to Make a Sim a Ghost
Head to the Ghosts guide for Cheats to turn a Sim into a ghost of any kind, based
on the death type. You can also skip Ambrosia or the Book of Life and make a
Sim who's died back into a normal Sim by removing this ghost trait once they've
been added back to your family.

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.

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 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

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_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.

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

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!
 careers.promote astronaut Astronaut Career
careers.promote athletic Athlete Career
careers.promote business Business Career
careers.promote criminal Criminal Career
careers.promote adult_critic Critic Career (City Living)
careers.promote culinary Culinary Career
careers.promote detective Detective Career (Get to Work)
careers.promote doctor Doctor Career (Get to Work)
careers.promote entertainer Entertainer Career
careers.promote painter Painter Career
careers.promote activist Politics Career (City Living)
careers.promote scientist Scientist Career (Get to Work)
careers.promote secretagent Secret Agent Career
careers.promote socialmedia Social Media Career (City Living)
careers.promote techguru Tech Guru Career
careers.promote writer Writer Career

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.

With testingcheats on, type 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 linked
guide or adjust it by 1 each time so that you can see information on each new
level. Here are all the skills in Sims 4, which you can cheat to max. Beside each,
there's a link to the associated Skill Guide so that you can learn how to use it!
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.

Skill_Child_Social

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:

Energized: EnergizedLow or EnergizedHigh (do not stack, high gives

+2 Energized)
Flirty: FlirtyLow or FlirtyHigh (do not stack, high gives +2 Flirty)
Inspired: InspiredLow or InspiredHigh (do not stack, high gives +2 Inspired)
Focused: FocusedLow or FocusedHigh (do not stack, high gives +2 Focused)
Playful: PlayfulLow or PlayfulHigh (do not stack, high gives +2 Playful)
Sad: SadLow or SadHigh (do not stack, high gives +2)
 Angry: Social_Angry, e_Buff_Angry, feelingangry, unfaithful (these all stack)
Happy: Social_Happy or e_Buff_Happy (these two stack, adding Happiness)
Uncomfortable: e_buff_uncomfortable
Embarrassed: e_buff_embarrassed, peedself (these two stack)

TRAIT, REWARD & ASPIRATION REWARD CHEATS

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. Most Traits boil down to
TheNameWithNoSpaces or Underscore_as_space in between those with multiple
names. When new content comes out, you can try the new rewards/traits to cheat
them on to your Sim by trying the new name in this format. For example, there
are:

Traits.equip_trait Active - the regular trait, active

Traits.equip_trait Antiseptic - Hygiene decays at half rate (Reward)
Traits.equip_trait EpicPoet - If you're looking for Poetic to make the Book of
Life, this is one that is named oddly
Traits.equip_trait Hardlyhungry - Hunger decays at half rate
Traits.equip_trait Independent - Social decays at half rate
Traits.equip_trait Neverweary - Never Weary, which makes Energy deplete at
half the usual rate.
Traits.equip_trait SteelBladder - Bladder won't decay
Traits.equip_trait Web_master - Webmaster Reward trait for completion of
the Computer Whiz Aspiration
If you can't find one - it may have a weird name. See a list of traits here on
TwistedMexi's wiki, and if you can afford it, Buy him a coffee!

RELATIONSHIP CHEATS

You can modify Sims' relationships by using the somewhat

long modifyrelationship yoursimfirst yoursimlast targetsimfirst targetsimlast x
relationshiptype. Relationshiptype is either Friendship_main or Romance_Main. X
is the percentage of the bar, either full, half, or half into the red (negative
numbers). While there are many different relationship names, these are simply
combinations of varying amounts of friendship/romance (either positive or
negative).

For example:

modifyrelationship Bella Goth Mortimer Goth 100 Friendship_main - Bella and

Mortimer are now best friends
modifyrelationship Bella Goth Mortimer Goth -100 Friendship_main - this will
make Bella and Mortifer go all the way to enemies
modifyrelationship Bella Goth Mortimer Goth 100 Romance_main - They're now
soulmates if they have a high friendship level as well
modifyrelationship Bella Goth Mortimer Goth -100 Romance_main - Drain their
romance bar all the way to red

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.

DINE OUT CHEATS

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.

VAMPIRES CHEATS

Make Sim a Vampire

stats.set_stat commodity_BecomingVampire 2160 will begin the natural
conversion process, while traits.equip_trait trait_OccultVampire will make them a
vampire immediately. To remove the vampire trait and revert a Sim,
use traits.remove_trait trait_OccultVampire. You can use these cheats to convert
Sims from the Gallery.

Unlock Vampire Perks

stats.set_stat rankedStatistic_Occult_VampireXP 1593 will max out your vampire
rank and give you 2 power points each time you enter it. Copy it from here and
use control+V after opening the cheats panel in-game to paste it repeatedly. You
can find more specific vampire cheats on TwistedMexi's wiki. He discovered
these and gave me permission to share some of them.

Credit Where It's Due

Half of all cheat sites on the web have ripped off the efforts of a person who spent time
tracking down these commands for us and started a wiki on reddit to host them here. If
you'd like to thank him for his time, buy TwistedMexi a coffee for finding most of these
that were not released by EA. You can find some specific cheats on the wiki, I won't
publish those that players might infrequently use and don't want to put literally every
cheat on this page as it's already quite long.

IF YOU CANNOT GET CHEATS TO WORK

Many cheats require testing cheats to work. Ensure you've done testingcheats
onfirst. This mainly works from the live/build/buy modes of the game as many do
not work on the map. You should pause it by pressing tilde (`) or clicking the
pause icon, and when the time comes will need to first press and hold the left
CTRL key, then Shift, then C in that order, without letting go of any of the keys, to
open the console in the first place. This should be a fluid motion and not too
slow. Secondly, cheats must be typed exactly. You can get some help with
testingcheats by following this link.

Influence the Baby's Gender

A patch made it so that we can influence the gender of babies, so we can make
the chance large that a baby girl or boy is born:

To have a baby boy: Eat carrots and listen to alternative music on the radio.
To have a baby girl: Eat strawberries and listen to pop music on the radio.
Doing both of these things during your pregnancy will increase your odds of
having a boy or girl.

Influencing the Pregnancy - Twins and Triplets

The pregnancy will typically produce a single baby. To increase the chances of
twins or triplets, use the Fertile Reward. It's available from the Rewards Store for
the price of 3,000 Satisfaction points. You can also cheat to have twins or triplets,
see below.

With the Spa Day Game Pack, Sims can get a Fertility Massage at the Spa or from
a Sim who is practiced in the Wellness skill. You must own a massage table to get
one at home, but this is reported to increase the rate of twins and triplets as well.

MOVE OBJECTS CHEAT

Possibly one of the most used cheats in building. To activate

type bb.moveobjects on and retype to turn the cheat off. With this on, you will be
able to place items in places that the game would not normally allow. You can
place things closer together or even touching. With this cheat, you could
combine two pieces of furniture to make one larger pieces, for example, two
Unabashed Sofas at right angles to each other make a nice corner lounge. Join
tables together to make larger tables. Be aware though, that combining items can
affect your sim's ability to use part or all of the item or can cause strange visuals
when they do use it. It's a good idea to test objects placed with this cheat,
especially if you intend to share the build.

Click to Enlarge. Use the moveobjects cheat to combine furniture

The move object cheat does have some limitations. While it will allow two
windows to be placed on one section of wall, it will cause some strange visuals.
Sometimes too, the game will not acknowledge that an item is placed in an
unusual place and again, some strange visuals could result when a Sim uses that
item.
Click to Enlarge. The game doesn't always recognise when something is placed using a cheat

While the move objects cheat is activated, we can also adjust the height at which
something sits. Pick up the item and press the 9 key, every time you press the
key, the item will be raised a little. When it's at the desired height, release it and it
will stay at that height. To lower something use the 0 key instead. This is useful
for placing things on surfaces that the game would not normally allow.

Click to Enlarge. Use moveobjects cheat and raise a second bed to make a set of bunks - unfortunately, they
can't be used

SHOW HIDDEN OBJECTS

Another well used cheat in building, this one allows us to use items that we
normally can't buy. To activate, type bb.showhiddenobjects into the cheat
console. For now, there seems to be no way to turn this cheat off other than
exiting the game, so be aware, especially if you are playing a competition game
where cheats are not allowed.

This cheat lets us select many items that we cannot usually buy, from full grown
fruit trees to the little things our Sims use in everyday activities. Included in the
hidden objects are lights. The hidden lights are particularly useful as they can
make a room lighter without adding more conventional lights.

Click to Enlarge. Use hidden lights to add extra light to a room

ENLARGING AN ITEM

Not really a cheat, the enlarging feature is still useful when decorating a house. In
Build mode, pick up an item and press the ] key and the item will be enlarged a
little. With each key stroke, the item will be made slightly bigger. While items can
be made larger, they cannot be made smaller than the original size. To reduce the
size of something that has been enlarged, hit the [ key until the required size is
reached. While most items can be made bigger, a few do not enlarge well. While
window and door frames will enlarge, the hole in the wall will remain the original
size. Likewise mirrors do not enlarge well.

Click to Enlarge. Some things like plants enlarge well - others like windows and mirrors do not

FREE PLACEMENT AND ROTATION OF OBJECTS

Another trick that is not really a cheat is free placement and rotation of objects.
Normally when you place an item, it will be locked to the grid. Pick up an item and
go to place it somewhere. You will see it has a footprint. This footprint shows
how many grid squares the item will need and when you place it the footprint will
automatically lock to the grid on the floor.

By holding the ALT key when you place something, the grid will be ignored and
you will be free to place it anywhere. Things moved this way will still have the
footprint that says how many squares of floor space is needed. Unless you also
use the moveobjects cheat, items cannot share the same space. Combining the
moveobjects cheat and holding the ALT key will give more placement options.

Click to Enlarge. Normally, objects snap to the grid. By holding the alt key they can be placed anywhere

Free rotation is similar to free placement in that we are not restricted in how we
rotate an item. This trick is dependent on you using the Sims 3 camera mode. To
switch into Sims 3 camera mode, select the Options menu in the top right hand
corner of the screen. From there select Game Options and then Controls &
Camera. Check the box that says The Sims 3 Camera. Apply the change and
return to the game. Alternately, you can switch between the Sims 3 camera and
the Sims 4 camera by holding CTRL + Shift + tab. With the Sims 3 camera, you
will be able to rotate an item you are holding simply by dragging it instead of
having to use the < or > keys. Rotating something this way, you will still be
restricted to 45 degree rotations but by holding the ALT key as you drag, you will
be able to rotate an item freely.
Click to Enlarge. By holding the alt key and using the Sims 3 camera mode, we can freely rotate objects

Sharing houses and rooms built with cheats

If you share a house or room you have built using some or all of the cheats, there
are a few things to consider. Not all things placed with the showhiddenobjects
cheat will transfer through the gallery, some are just not designed that way. The
invisible lights will only transfer if you save and share an entire lot. If you only
share a room, hidden lights will not be included. Objects placed using the
moveobjects cheat may transfer correctly, but there is a chance that they will not.
Items transferring could also depend on individual games being up to date. In
earlier versions of the game, some items did not transfer through the gallery the
way they were intended to by the builder.

CHEATING
Free Potion of Youth
Multiple routes to a free Potion of Youth. You can cheat to give your Sim points
by using sims.give_satisfaction_points 1500 (or more) with testingcheats on.
Additionally, you can use bb.showhiddenobjects to be able to find potions of
youth for $0 in buy mode (use the search function).
