Mastering The Sims 4: Your Ultimate Guide to Money, Skills, and More

Ever wondered how to truly master The Sims 4? Whether you’re dreaming of infinite Simoleons, instantly maxed-out skills, or even bending life and death, our ultimate guide has you covered. Dive into the world of Sims 4 cheats and discover handy shortcuts that will make your virtual family’s lives—or your mischievous schemes—effortlessly manageable.

Cheats have always been a cornerstone of The Sims experience, and EA itself often encourages their use! While keeping track of every single trick can be tough, we’ve compiled them all here for your convenience, including those coveted Sims 4 money cheats. This list is perfect for new players or veterans curious if their old favorites still work, and we constantly update it with new cheats for the latest DLCs and expansion packs!

How to Enable Cheats in The Sims 4

Getting started with cheats in The Sims 4 is super easy! Whether you’re playing on PC or Mac, simply open the cheat console by pressing Ctrl + Shift + C. A text box will appear at the top of your screen. Type your desired cheat code into this box and hit ‘Enter’ or ‘Done’.

You might see a pop-up asking for confirmation – just click to accept. Keep in mind that activating cheats will disable achievements for that specific save file, even if you later turn them off. But for all the extra fun and control, it’s usually a worthwhile trade-off!

Many powerful cheats are ‘shift-click’ cheats. To use these, first type ‘testingcheats true‘ into the console. After enabling this, you can then either type further commands or Shift + Click on a Sim or object in your game to reveal a host of new options.
