Accessing the Cheat Console

Before you can use any cheat codes, you need to open the cheat console. This is done differently depending on your platform:

PC & Mac:

  1. Open The Sims 4. Launch the game and load your desired save file.
  2. Press Ctrl + Shift + C. This will open a small text box at the top of your screen. This is the cheat console.

PlayStation (PS4/PS5):

  1. Open The Sims 4. Launch the game and load your desired save file.
  2. Press L1 + R1 + L2 + R2. Simultaneously hold down these buttons to open the cheat console.

Xbox (Xbox One/Series X|S):

  1. Open The Sims 4. Launch the game and load your desired save file.
  2. Press LB + RB + LT + RT. Simultaneously hold down these buttons to open the cheat console.

Basic Sims 4 Cheat Codes

Once the cheat console is open, you can type in the following codes (case-sensitive):

  • testingcheats true: This is the most important cheat code. It unlocks many other cheats and allows you to manipulate your Sims' lives in various ways. You only need to enter this code once per gaming session.

  • testingcheats false: This disables the cheats activated by testingcheats true. Use this when you're done using the other cheats and want to return to normal gameplay.

  • motherlode: This gives your Sim 50,000 Simoleons. Need a quick cash injection? This is your go-to cheat. You can use this code multiple times.

  • kaching: This is a shorter version of motherlode, granting you 1,000 Simoleons.

Advanced Cheat Codes and Gameplay Manipulation

With testingcheats true enabled, you unlock a range of powerful cheats. Many of these are activated by clicking on Sims or objects while holding down a modifier key.

Shift + Click on a Sim:

  • Add to Household: Add Sims from the world to your household.
  • Make Friends/Enemies: Instantly change your Sim's relationship with another Sim.
  • Set Career/Promote/Demote: Quickly advance (or regress) your Sim's career without completing the required tasks.
  • Edit in CAS: Edit your Sim's appearance in Create-a-Sim (CAS) mode without starting a new game.
  • Satisfy All Needs: Instantaneously fulfill your Sim's hunger, hygiene, bladder, energy, and fun needs.
  • Fill All Motive Bars: Similar to "Satisfy All Needs."

Shift + Click on a Mailbox:

  • Add Household to Family: This allows you to add a household to your active family.

Other Useful Cheats (with testingcheats true enabled):

  • bb.showhiddenobjects: This reveals hidden objects in build/buy mode. Discover unique items not normally accessible.
  • bb.moveobjects on: This allows you to place objects anywhere, even through other objects, giving you ultimate freedom in building and decorating.
  • bb.moveobjects off: This disables the bb.moveobjects on cheat.

Remember to type these codes exactly as shown, including capitalization. If a cheat isn't working, double-check your spelling.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: How do I remove a cheat? A: There isn't a specific "remove cheat" command. To disable cheats, type testingcheats false into the cheat console.

Q: What happens if I use too many cheats? A: While unlikely to directly corrupt your game, overuse of cheats may significantly alter gameplay and take away the challenge and intended progression.

Q: Are there cheats for specific game packs? A: Many cheats work across all game packs, but some pack-specific items may require additional cheats or commands not covered here. Look for online resources specific to those packs if you encounter any difficulties.
