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).

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
thePregnancy 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 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_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
theobjects.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

careers.promote athletic Athlete

careers.promote business Business

careers.promote criminal Criminal

careers.promote culinary Culinary

careers.promote detective Detective (Get to Work)

careers.promote doctor Doctor (Get to Work)

careers.promote entertainer Entertainer

careers.promote painter Painter

careers.promote scientist Scientist (Get to Work)

careers.promote secretagent Secret Agent

careers.promote techguru Tech Guru

careers.promote writer Writer

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.

CHILDREN'S SKILL CHEATS

Guide to Children's Skills

Skill_Child_Creativity - so stats.set_skill_level skill_child_creativity 10

Skill_Child_Mental

Skill_Child_Motor

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
isTraits.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

theComputer 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

longmodifyrelationship 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.
