Sims 4 Cheats List With Every Working Code for PC and Mac

Every Sims 4 cheat in this list runs through the built-in cheat console, so you don’t need a mod, a download or a third-party tool. Below you’ll find the exact codes for money, skills, careers, build mode, relationships, pregnancy and occult Sims, plus fixes for when the console refuses to open or a code does nothing.

What you need before entering Sims 4 cheats

Most codes work in the base game. Skill and occult codes tied to expansion, game or stuff packs only work if you own that pack. Have these ready:

• An updated game. Cheat names occasionally change after big patches, and outdated script mods are the usual reason a code stops responding.
• A backup save. Codes like death.toggle and bb.moveobjects can leave a lot or household in an odd state. Use “Save As” to make a copy first.
• Live Mode open. Most cheats need a loaded household. A few, such as FreeRealEstate on, are entered from the world or neighborhood view.
• testingcheats switched on for anything that uses shift-click menus or edits stats directly.

How to open the cheat console and enable cheats

The console appears as a thin white bar at the top-left of the screen. Type the code exactly as written and press Enter. Codes aren’t case-sensitive, but spaces and underscores matter.

On PlayStation and Xbox, the game warns you that entering cheats turns off trophies and achievements for that save. If you’re hunting trophies, play a separate save for cheating.

To turn cheats off again, type testingcheats false. Typing help in the console prints a list of the commands available in your version.

What you should see

Once testingcheats is on, holding Shift and clicking a Sim, an object or the ground gives you extra menu options such as “Cheat Need”, “Modify in CAS” and “Teleport Me Here”. You can also drag a Sim’s need bars up or down by hand in the Needs panel. If those options don’t appear, jump to the troubleshooting table further down.

Money cheats

These are the cheats people look up first. All of them affect the active household’s funds.

Skill cheats

The skill cheat format is stats.set_skill_level [skill name] [level], and it applies to the Sim you currently have selected. Major skills max out at 10. Dancing and toddler skills cap at 5.

Child and toddler skills

Kids have their own skill set. Child skills run to 10 and toddler skills to 5, so a toddler code with a 10 at the end just won’t stick.

• Child: Skill_Child_Creativity, Skill_Child_Mental, Skill_Child_Motor, Skill_Child_Social (use 10)
• Toddler: statistic_skill_toddler_communication, statistic_skill_toddler_imagination, statistic_skill_toddler_movement, statistic_skill_toddler_potty, statistic_skill_toddler_thinking (use 5)

As an example, stats.set_skill_level statistic_skill_toddler_communication 5 lets a toddler talk fluently right away. Maxing communication and potty first keeps toddler gameplay much calmer.

Career and aspiration cheats

Career cheats take the internal career name without spaces, for example astronaut, criminal, culinary, entertainer, painter, secretagent, techguru or writer.

• careers.promote [career] moves the Sim up one level. Repeat it to climb the ladder.
• careers.demote [career] drops them one level.
• careers.add_career [career] joins a career without the phone.
• careers.remove_career [career] quits it.
• aspirations.complete_current_milestone finishes the active aspiration milestone.
• sims.give_satisfaction_points [number] adds points for the Rewards Store, which is the clean way to buy reward traits like Fertile or Never Weary.

Build mode cheats

Build mode codes are where experienced builders spend most of their console time. None of them need testingcheats except where noted.

Needs, relationship and Sim control cheats

These are the cheats for lifestyle tweaks and for fixing stuck Sims.

Change traits and appearance

Type cas.fulleditmode, then shift-click a Sim and choose “Modify in CAS” (testingcheats must be on). This opens Create a Sim with full editing, so you can swap traits, change aspirations and rebuild a Sim’s look without starting over. Exit CAS and the changes stick.

Traits can also be added by code with traits.equip_trait [trait] and removed with traits.remove_trait [trait], which is useful for hidden or occult traits that CAS won’t show.

How to make a Sim a vampire

With the Vampires game pack installed, select the Sim and enter traits.equip_trait trait_OccultVampire. The Sim becomes a vampire immediately, starting at the lowest power rank. To reverse it, enter traits.remove_trait trait_OccultVampire. Back up the save first, because removing an occult trait by code can leave vampire buffs or perks behaving oddly until the Sim is reset with resetsim.

Pregnancy and multiple birth cheats

You can force twins, triplets or quadruplets for a Sim who is already pregnant. It takes two codes:

1. Enter sims.get_sim_id_by_name [First] [Last] to get the Sim’s ID number.
2. Enter pregnancy.force_offspring_count [SimID] [number], using a number from 1 to 4.

The count locks in at birth. If you’d rather not use codes, the Fertile reward trait (bought with satisfaction points) raises the odds of multiples naturally.

Troubleshooting: when Sims 4 cheats don’t work

Common mistakes

• Typing a toddler skill at 10. It caps at 5.
• Entering pack-specific codes without the pack installed.
• Forgetting that testingcheats resets when you travel or reload. Re-enter it after loading a new lot.
• Leaving death.toggle false on, then wondering why a legacy challenge heir never dies of old age.

FAQ

Do Sims 4 cheats disable achievements?

On PlayStation and Xbox, yes. The game warns you that using cheats turns off trophies and achievements for that save. Keep a clean save for trophy hunting and a separate one for cheating.

Are the cheat codes the same on PC, Mac and console?

The codes themselves match across platforms. Only the shortcut changes: Ctrl + Shift + C on both Windows and Mac, and all four shoulder buttons on PlayStation and Xbox.

How do I turn cheats off?

Open the console and type testingcheats false. Toggle-style codes such as bb.moveobjects and death.toggle need their own off command.

Can cheats corrupt a save?

The money and skill codes are low-risk. Build cheats, death.toggle and trait removal are the ones that cause stuck Sims or odd behavior. Make a “Save As” copy before using them and you can always roll back.

Do I need mods to use Sims 4 cheats?

No. Every code on this page uses the game’s own console. Mods only matter when an outdated one blocks the console after a patch.
