Sims 4 cheats are the reliable friends we all eventually need. The Sims 4 might have gone free-to-play, but that doesn't stop all the in-game simoleon expenses. Luckily, cheats are there, providing some much-needed funds for building your Sims' dream homes, or making some quick tweaks to their traits and skills. And with the release of the new For Rent expansion, your Sims could probably use the extra help to endure the terror of rental living. Check below for the latest For Rent cheats for increasing the rental unit cap, and for adding the expansion's new traits to your Sims.

Every one of Sims 4's expansions and packs brings its own set of cheats along with it. Usually, those cheats are tied to the jobs, deaths, and traits that are unique to that expansion or pack. Sadly, those trait cheats aren't always applicable: We've confirmed that the ponies from the Horse Ranch expansion can't be afflicted with vampirism. Safe to assume For Rent expansion landlords will qualify, though, if you're in the mood to make metaphors literal.

We've organized the page to make it easy to find tables for all the skills, careers, and traits you might need to max out your Sim's level in. With a handy Ctrl+F, you can search the page for the name of the expansion or pack you're wanting to find cheats for.

How to turn cheats on in Sims 4

To enable Sims 4 cheats, press Ctrl + Shift + C while in game to open the cheat console. Type your chosen cheat codes into the text field that opens and press enter.

For cheats marked as "shift click," you'll first need to type "testingCheats true" into the cheat menu. With testing cheats on, you can unlock some new Shift-Click menu options on Sims, objects, or the ground.

With testingCheats active, you'll be able to move Sims between families, fill up their needs and happiness bars, dirty or clean up objects, and teleport Sims anywhere you like, among a few others detailed below.

Sims 4 Money cheat

Spending all your money on groceries and bills is too much like real life. Why make your Sims start at the bottom when it's way more fun to start at the top? Enter any of these Sims 4 money cheat keywords into the cheat console to instantly gain stacks of cash.

  • kaching: get 1,000 simoleons
  • rosebud: get 1,000 simoleons (for The Sims veterans who remember it)
  • motherlode: get 50,000 simoleons
  • Money [#]: change household simoleons to an exact number
  • FreeRealEstate [on/off]: enter this in neighborhood or world view to make all lots free
  • household.autopay_bills [true/false]: Turn household bills on and off. 
Recent updates

November 2023: So far as I can tell in testing, the autopay bills cheat no longer works, nor can I find recent evidence of it working for others.

Sims 4 UI cheats

Sims 4 build cheats

Sims 4 build cheats

These cheats will provide you with some extra freedom while building, so you can explore your Sims creativity untethered.

  • bb.moveobjects: the Sims 4 move objects cheat is a vital one for builders, which allows you to ignore placement rules for objects
  • bb.showhiddenobjects: the "debug cheat" which shows extra buildable items, often neighborhood scenery and small clutter, that cannot be bought

  • bb.increaserentalunitcap [on/off]: an integral cheat for builders in the For Rent expansion. By default, a lot in For Rent has a rental unit cap of 6 units. By turning this cheat on, you can increase that rental unit cap up to 99.

Sims 4 Live Cheats

Sims 4 Live Mode cheats

Things have a way of going entirely sideways in The Sims 4 when you lose track of time. Here are some cheats to get you out of (or into, if that's your thing) sticky situations:

  • resetsim [firstname lastname]: Resets a stuck Sim
  • cas.fulleditmode: Allows you to change everything about an existing Sim when using the Shift+Click "edit in CAS" option including outfits, aspirations, and traits

  • aspirations.complete_current_milestone: Completes a Sim's current aspiration goal and awards the matching points.

Sims 4 Highschool Years cheats

Get your teen Sims through (or kicked out of) school with these cheats for graduating and getting expelled. These are all handled through the trait system, so you'll use the cheat traits.equip_trait [trait] with the following, which all do exactly what they suggest:

  • trait_hsexit_graduate_early
  • trait_hsexit_graduate_honors
  • trait_hsexit_graduate_valedictorian
  • trait_hsexit_expelled
  • trait_hsexit_dropout

Like other traits, you can use traits.remove_trait to get rid of each as well. You can find more Highschool Years cheats for careers, skills, and personality traits in the tables below.

Sims 4 Werewolf cheats

Cheats for the werewolf pack are mostly related to traits. To immediately transform a Sim into a werewolf in the Sims 4: Werewolves pack, use traits.equip_trait trait_occultwerewolf to add the Werewolf trait. Similarly, to immediately remove the Werewolf trait, use traits.remove_trait trait_occultwerewolf instead. Find more werewolf traits in the tables below.

The Werewolves pack also added a series of cheats to add Temperaments to your werewolves, which are normally unlocked through gameplay and affect the rates at which your werewolves gain fury and go into rampages. To add a Temperament to your werewolf, use the cheat traits.equip_trait trait_OccultWerewolf_Temperaments_[temperament], replacing the bracketed section with one of the following temperaments:

  • AntiCapitalistCanine - Adds the 'Anti-Capitalist Canine' temperament
  • BigBadWolf - Adds the 'Big Bad Wolf' temperament

Sims 4: Seasons cheats

You can't change the season at will after creating a new world, so you'll have to use a cheat instead. Or, you know, live through each season in Live Mode but that would take way too long. 

Use seasons.set_season [#] to change it at will. Each season is represented by a number:

  • Summer: 0
  • Fall: 1
  • Winter: 2
  • Spring: 3

You can also use seasons.advance_season to go forward in time by just one season.

Sims 4: Get Famous cheats

If you want to climb the fame ladder, you can use the super simple famepoints [#] which will add the number of fame points to your currently selected Sim. 

Sims 4: Eco Lifystyle cheats

One of the first things you might be compelled to do with Eco Lifestyle cheats is change your neighborhood's Eco Footprint. If you just can't stand starting out with an industrial neighborhood, use eco_footprint.set_eco_footprint_state [#] with one of these numbers:

  • 0 - Green Eco Footprint
  • 1 - Neutral Eco Footprint
  • 2 - Industrial Eco Footprint

Sims 4 Batuu cheats

If you want an unlimited supply of Galactic Credits, what you'll need to punch into the console.

  • bucks.update_bucks_by_amount 512011000

Note that the "1000" at the end is the amount of Galactic Credits that you're giving your Sim. You can change that number to whatever, so go crazy with it.

The following clothing cheat will unlock the full catalog of Journey to Batuu items, but know that you'll have to punch it in either in Create A Sim or the Dwelling in Batuu.

  • cas.unlockbytag GP09

If you're finding that your Sims' difficulty in meeting new people is a little too relatable, the cheat console code relationship.introduce_sim_to_all_others will instantly introduce your Sim to all their neighbors.

For an even easier icebreaker, relationships.create_friends_for_sim will spawn a new Sim on the lot who's already friends with yours.

If you need more specific friendship (and romance) control, use the following to add and subtract from relationships between two Sims:

modifyrelationship [YourSimFirstName] [YourSimLastName] [TargetSimFirstName] [TargetSimLastName] 100 LTR_Friendship_Main 

Substitute "Friendship" for "Romance" to change romantic relationship values. Positive values will increase a relationship, while using a negative value (ex: -100) will decrease it.

If you want to max out your Sim's skills or set them to any particular skill level of your choosing, you can use this list of skill codes. 

Use stats.set_skill_level [skill code] [#] to set your Sim's skill to any level you want. Substitute in the skill code and the skill level you want, which should look something like: "stats.set_skill_level Major_Writing 10"

For your child Sims, substitute with Skill_Child_[Creativity/Mental/Motor/Social] all of which also max out at 10. 

And for all you horse enthusiasts, before you can modify your ride's skills, you'll need to find their HorseID with sims.get_sim_id_by_name [HorseFirstName] [HorseLastName]

Once you have your HorseID, make sure you append it at the end of each skill command, so it should look like this: stats.set_skill_level Horse_Temperament 10 [HorseID#]

Sims 4 trait cheats

The Sims 4 cheats - a Sim relaxes in a small pool

(Image credit: EA, The Sims Studio)

You can pick certain traits for your Sims during the Create-A-Sim process that control some of their preferences, habits, and how they react to other Sims. One way to cheat your Sims into having certain traits, especially those in the base game, is to use the Shift+Click cheats above to edit them in the CAS (Create-A-Sim) menu.

If you want more fine control, or you're trying to add and remove other properties, here is your list of traits from game packs and expansions that you may want to give your Sims. A Sim's Lifestyles, which reflect the habits they've developed as you play them, are also added and removed as traits, as well as Infant traits from the Growing Together expansion, which determine an infant Sim's personality.

After using the base cheat "testingCheats true" you can use the following cheats to add and remove all of the cheats on this list with their respective Trait code.

traits.equip_trait [trait]
