PLEASE NOTE: The following Cheats are extracted from The Sims 4 game files and are not officially supported by EA / The Sims Team.

These cheats were intended to be developer use only, but where uncovered by TwistedMexican and are confirmed that they work. Even though these are confirmed by the developer they are still “Use at your own risk”. As some can harm your game if not used correctly. Be sure to always use caution when using any unofficial cheats. I recommend backing up your save before using any of the following unofficial cheats.

Before getting started

1. To open up the command window to enter a cheat, simply press CTRL+Shift+C

2. Be sure to enable testingcheats mode before entering a cheat. Testingcheats must be re-entered each time before entering a new cheat. To enable testing cheats, enter the following into the cheat command window:

testingcheats true

3. Anything with True/Fase in the cheat means that you must choose either true or false, do not type both.

4. Anything in brackets [ ] or angle brackets < > means you need to enput a value, do not include the brackets in the code.

How to get a Sim ID

Some cheats will require you to provide the Sim ID instead of your sims first and last name. You will need to type in the following cheat:

sims.get_sim_id_by_name <yoursimfirstname> <yoursimlastname>

Once you type in the cheat, in the window below the command bar it will say “Has sim id:” followed by a long number. You only need to know the number that is generated. This is your Sim ID for that sim. If you have other sims in your household you will need their Sim ID as well, as each sim has their very own Sim ID.

Find out how to activate The Sims 4cheats on PS4 and Xbox One below. Unlike the PC version, you will have to give up earning Achievements and Trophies if you activate cheats.

How to Use Sims 4 Cheats on PS4 and Xbox One[edit]

To activate Sims 4 cheats on PS4 and Xbox One, load into the game and hold down all four triggers at the same time. A thin textbox will appear at the top of the screen. Enter 'testingcheats true' in the textbox to enable cheats.

It's unclear what cheats don't work at this point (The official Sims 4 FAQ said not all cheats work with the console version), but most do.

To use the cheats that required a shift-click on PC, hit A and B on Xbox One or X and O on PS4 simultaneously to perform that function on console.

Get Money Fast[edit]

While motherlode and rosebud are beloved cheats, an easier way to get your sims the Simoleons they need is by typing 'Money X' with X being the amount you want to give your household. You can also use this to subtract funds from your household.

• Money # - Set your household's Simoleons to a specific amount
• motherlode - 50,000 Simoleons
• kaching/rosebud - 1,000 Simoleons

How to Unlock Sugar Skulls and Other Seasonal Event Items[edit]

The Sims 4 official FAQ says that seasonal events with the NPC Jessica Holiday aren't currently planned for The Sims 4 on console, but items from past events (like Sugar Skulls, Holiday Cracker Plushies, Decorative Eggs, and Magic Beans) are still in the game. You can get them using cheats.

With cheats on, make sure you're in Live Mode and open the cheat box. Enter 'bb.showhiddenobjects' and submit it. Then, enter Build Mode.

In the Objects by Function menu select the Decorations tab. Go to the Misc decorations, scroll through all the new items, and you'll find Sugar Skulls and the other event collectibles. Buy them, drop them in the world, and have your Sims put the items in their inventory to have them add it to their 'Household Collections.'

Console Cheats[edit]

Activating cheats does disable Achievements and Trophies. But if you're okay with that, here are a ton of cheats for The Sims 4:

With testingcheats true enabled, you can enter the following codes from the console for the corresponding effects in Build Mode.

• [ and ] - The left bracket enlarges an item and the right one shrinks it
