HOW TO CHEAT
To use cheats in The Sims 4, press Control + Shift + C to toggle the console on
and off. You do this on console by pressing all four shoulder buttons
simultaneously. Press enter after typing the cheat. For many cheats, you must
also use testingcheats on or they will not work. Most cheats are used in live
mode (F2).
SIMS 4 CHEATS
TESTING CHEATS
Shift-Click the Mailbox to access the ability to stop need decay for your
current household or the entire neighborhood (effectively make everyone
happy). Disable Need Decay will make needs stop falling; re-enabling them is
as simple as selecting Enable Need Decay. Make Happy will then fill needs to
the maximum. You can do this on an individual Sim level by Shift-Clicking
Your Sims. This will let you select to make only that Sim's needs static or
make them happy by filling all needs. You are also able to completely redesign
a Sim by shift-clicking them and selecting Modify in CAS. This takes you to
Create-A-Sim where you can make the Sim look however you want, but not
change their gender or traits.
Shift-Clicking NPC Sims will allow you to add them to your household or reset
them if they get stuck. You should also be able to enable/disable need decay
and make them happy if you so choose - good if your Sim's date has to leave
due to being tired! You can also Edit them in CAS if you like.
Shift-Clicking the Ground will allow you to Teleport anywhere you could walk
in the neighborhood. Shift-Clicking Objects allows you to reset them, should
something get stuck or broken.
Shift-Clicking Objects, for those that can get dirty, allows you to either make
them dirty or clean - all objects can be reset, as well.
Testingcheats on should be enabled, as some cheats will not work without it.
Skill/Career cheats affect the selected Sim.
Money X - Type Money 50000 or 1000000, whatever you like, and your family
will have that amount exactly. This can be used to subtract funds, because it
sets the money to whatever amount you specify.
Satisfaction/Aspiration Cheats -
Type aspirations.complete_current_milestoneand you will get all the
satisfaction from completing that milestone and move on to the next, one
stage closer to the special trait you get for completing the aspiration. You can
do this repeatedly until you have every Reward trait and gobs of satisfaction.
It's listed above but bears repeating here: sims.give_satisfaction_points gives
the selected Sim an amount of satisfaction equal to what you enter.
sims.give_satisfaction_points 50000 would give you 50k.
CAREERS CHEATS
While already in the career you want (via normal hiring from the phone or
computer) and with testingcheats on, type Careers.promote X - for example
careers.promote astronaut would promote your Sim to the next level in the
Astronaut career. Any Careers that have multiple words should contain no
spaces, for example careers.promote secretagent.
To quickly get multiple promotions, copy the command below for the career
you're in - just the careers.promote x part - and paste it into the game's
command line with Control - V (Command-V on Mac). Paste it until you're level
10!
SCHOOL CHEATS
Raise a Sim's grades with careers.promote gradeschool or careers.promote
highschool. You can lower them as well with careers.demote
gradeschool/highschool.
SKILL CHEATS
Type Stats.set_skill_level major_X with X being the level of skill you'd like the
selected Sim to be. Note the different syntax for fitness and children's skills in
the list below. If you cannot get skill cheats to work try stats.set_skill_level
adultmajor_x. You can find _ near the backspace key on your keyboard.
To max all cheats quickly, copy stats.set_skill_level major_ and paste it into
your command console in-game. Finish the command with the skill, then the
level. This doesn't work for fitness so you need to copy that line. Remember
Photography caps at 5.
EMOTION CHEATS
You can influence Emotions slightly by adding buffs to Sims, though you may
need happy or other boosts to put them at 'Very Inspired' or add more negative
buffs to make a Sim super-embarrassed (Mortified). Here are some I took from
TwistedMexi's wiki which I'm using with his permission. Use Sims.add_buff X,
for example Sims.add_buff social_happy
RELATIONSHIP CHEATS
The following are, again, provided by TwistedMexican who kindly took the time
to find these cheats hidden within the game engine. Here are the most
important finds. You can find more on his specific wiki about GTW.
The following restaurant perk cheats for Dine Out were gathered based on
Twistedmexi's format for the GTW Cheats. I found the same code works, just
had to track down the name of them within the files. You'll notice they differ.
Note that Meal Rush and Surplus Harvest can be used every 24 hours. For
those like additional waiter or discounts on ingredients, you may need to take
them in oder. You can take tidy tippers multiple times but I'm not sure if you
need to do something special to add extra ranks.
RESTAURANT PERKS
VAMPIRES CHEATS
PARENTHOOD CHEATS
The Sims 4 Parenthood comes with a new skill, which can be cheated in with
stats.set_skill_level major_parenting X - it's in the major skills list above.
Many cheats require testing cheats to work. Ensure you've done testingcheats
onfirst. This mainly works from the live/build/buy modes of the game as many
do not work on the map. You should pause it by pressing tilde (`) or clicking
the pause icon, and when the time comes will need to first press and hold the
left CTRL key, then Shift, then C in that order, without letting go of any of the
keys, to open the console in the first place. This should be a fluid motion and
not too slow. Secondly, cheats must be typed exactly. You can get some help
with testingcheats by following this link.
GETTING PREGNANT
To have a baby naturally, a Sim who is able to be pregnant (male or female via
CAS options) will have to find a suitable partner/spouse and go through all of
the necessary friendly and romantic interactions in order to successfully Try
For Baby. My Sim had the Romantic trait and her Aspiration was Soul Mate,
which meant that she eagerly sought the Sim who would be the father to her
baby. I found that Try For Baby came up sooner than in Sims 3, so less time
was needed for the couple to interact romantically. The parents were married
and had maxed their friendship and romantic bars, and Try for Baby often
came up as a first option without having to do any romancing before hand.
Sims can also have a male appearance and have the ability to become
pregnant, or be female in appearance and able to make others pregnant - see
transgender section below for how to do this.
There are no longer pregnancy chimes at the time your Sims Try for Baby.
Instead, the mother can do a pregnancy test by clicking on the toilet afterward.
The cost is $15 and results are immediate. Either it will say she's eating for two
or to try again. She will immediately start to show a little after getting a
positive pregnancy test. Otherwise, if you do not do a pregnancy test, the
game will inform you after a day that the mother is pregnant. Luckily, the
mother will wear her same clothes throughout the pregnancy. There's no
spinning into ugly maternity clothes!
To have a baby boy: Eat carrots and listen to alternative music on the radio.
To have a baby girl: Eat strawberries and listen to pop music on the radio.
Doing both of these things during your pregnancy will increase your odds of
having a boy or girl.
With the Spa Day Game Pack, Sims can get a Fertility Massage at the Spa or
from a Sim who is practiced in the Wellness skill. You must own a massage
table to get one at home, but this is reported to increase the rate of twins and
triplets as well.
THE PREGNANCY
Giving Birth
When the time arrives, the mother will go into labor. It will last about three
hours and the mother can do anything she wants during this time. She can eat,
have conversations, go to the bathroom, even sleep. She'll have a +40
Uncomfortable moodlet during this time, however, which is too large to really
overcome by normal means. If you like, you can avoid long labor by simply
clicking the option to deliver at hospital from the Bassinet. The father in my
game would sometimes have pre-parental panic and run through the house.
He had the Hates Children trait, so that was a possible cause, but other fathers
may experience this as well. Nobody else in the house (teens and children)
had any reaction.
When it's Go Time, the mother will go to the bassinet for the actual birth, or
you'll be taken to the hospital for surgery with the Get to Work Expansion (if
you chose the hospital route). This is when we get to see her faces and listen
to her groan. It doesn't last long and before you know it, you've got a brand
new baby. The little darling will be dressed in a one-piece jumper: green for
boys and yellow for girls. No traits are chosen at the time of birth, so it doesn't
matter if the mother has a smooth pregnancy. The first trait is chosen at
Toddler and a childhood Aspiration is chosen at the Child stage.
Baby's Needs
The baby cannot be the active Sim and the player cannot see his/her needs.
You have to judge the situation from visual and audio clues. but they have a
hidden hunger, fun and hygiene need that must be met. The baby will sleep
automatically when well cared for. You can develop the relationship by using
the limited socials that are available, while also satisfying the baby's needs for
entertainment and socialization. A green cloud means a dirty diaper and crying
means the baby needs to be fed and/or you should played with the baby. My
Sims were fairly attentive to the baby without being told, but this might not
always be the case. All interactions are found by clicking on the bassinet and
the baby never leaves that immediate area.
hen feeding, the mother has the option to bottle feed or breast feed. Everyone
else can only bottle feed. Males pregnant with an alien baby can breast feed,
however. The other interactions besides changing the dirty diaper are:
Bounce, Coo At, Make Silly Face, Rock, Talk, Shoosh, Show Off To, and Age
Up. Children will be able to Coo At and Talk to the baby. To use the Show Off
To interaction, make sure the bassinet is not up against a wall. The person
looking at the baby will stand at the head of the bassinet. Leaving the House
and Neglecting the Baby
Sims can all leave the house when there's a baby, no problem. The baby
automatically gets sent to Day Care while the parents and others are away
at work, or just out exploring to collect items. If a baby is neglected for a
period of time, the baby will be taken away to safety. The baby will simply
disappear in a green flash of light. This didn't seem to negatively impact the
mother's ability to have more babies later.
Aging Up to Toddler
A baby can be aged up to Toddler at any time after the birth by clicking on the
bassinet. However, if you wish to wait until the normal aging time, you may
wait it out by caring for them until this happens automatically. The only real
benefit to letting the baby age on its own is to increase the relationship
between the baby and other Sims in the house, while also giving you time to
prepare to care for a toddler properly by giving them their own bedroom. All of
the interactions your Sims can make with the baby will increase the
relationship bar. When the time comes, the baby will age straight to a toddler
who can roam the house and needs to learn skills. The duration of the baby life
stage will vary depending on which lifespan you're playing. On the short
lifespan, it's about 1 1/2 days to age up to toddler. On normal lifespan, it's
about 3 days. My baby seemed to be bugged on the long lifespan because he
was getting close to two weeks and still hadn't aged up. We'll update this later
with more definitive information on babies on long lifespan.
Now you can influence how many births they have at once. It may work up to
7, but keep in mind that the maximum household size is 8. So do a little
addition, and save your game first. It may hang quite a bit generating all these
babies. Use the Sim's ID you got from the first cheat, for example
1341302010235.
In Closing
This should help you get pregnant and care for your baby properly. If more
information on boosting the odds of Twins/Triplets without cheating comes
up, we'll share it here. From here, you can go on to learn
