HOW TO CHEAT

off. 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 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.

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 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 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.
