Cheats are by no means new to The Sims 4, and EA even actively encourages their use. Still, it can be hard to keep track of all The Sims cheats, so we’ve put them all in one handy place, including those all so important Sims 4 money cheats. Our list is perfect if you’ve never played past entries in one of the best PC games or are wondering if all those old cheats still work, and we even add new cheats for new DLCs and expansion packs.

How to enable The Sims 4 cheats

To turn on cheats in The Sims 4 on PC or Mac, open the Sims 4 cheat console by pressing Ctrl + Shift + C. Enter the cheat text from the list below into the text box, then press ‘Enter’ or ‘Done’.

You may then see a pop-up that asks you to confirm you are happy to use cheats. Enabling cheats prevents you from earning achievements in that particular save, even if you turn them back off again – but it’s worth it for the extra fun.

Some cheats below are shift-click cheats. For these, instead of entering a code, you must type ‘testingcheats true‘ into the cheat console. Then, either type an additional command or click the Sim or object for more options.

Sims 4 relationship cheats

The two big ones are a bit long winded. To increase the friendship value between you and another Sim, use ‘modifyrelationship [YourSimFirstName] [YourSimLastName] [TargetSimFirstName] [TargetSimLastName] X LTR_Friendship_Main’.
