Cheat Console and Shift-Clicking
To activate any cheat in The Sims 4, you'll first need to open the cheat console. To activate it:
- On PC, hold CTRL and Shift, then press C.
- On Mac, hold Command and Shift, then press C.
- On PlayStation 4, hold all four shoulder buttons at once.
- On Xbox One, hold all four shoulder buttons at once.
Once opened, the cheat console will appear as a thin box at the top of the screen. Into that, you can type any of the cheats below or on other pages. To close the cheat console, simply press the same keys or buttons.
Some cheats require you to first this:
testingcheats true
(Note that 'true' above can be replaced with the word 'on' as well.)
When TestingCheats is enabled, other cheats can also be toggled. To turn off TestingCheats, type this into the cheat console:
testingcheats false
(Note that 'false' can be replaced with 'off.')
Additionally, some cheats require shift-clicking Sims or objects on the PC or Mac. To execute a shift-click on consoles, hold Circle and press X (on PlayStation 4) or hold B and press A (on Xbox One).
Get Money Fast
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
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.'

Miscellaneous Cheats

- modifyrelationship [First name of the first sim] [Last name of the first sim] [First name of the second sim] [Last name of the second sim] [Number] Romance_Main - Add more romance between two sims
Become the Grim Reaper
To control the Grim Reaper you can add him to your household if someone else dies. With testingcheatsenabled on, shift+click on the Grim Reaper before he leaves, and click Add to Family.
MoveObjects
The MoveObjects (or Move_Objects) cheat is a classic from the Sims franchise, and it returns in The Sims 4. To activate it, you must first open the cheat console. Into the box, type the following line including punctuation:
bb.moveobjects
The coding serves as a toggle, so if you need to turn it off, simply re-enter the code. You can close the cheat console by pressing the same combination of keys or buttons as you did to open it.
MoveObjects used to be used in the Sims franchise to shift household objects when Sims were stuck. The cheat is no longer necessary for this; even without cheats or mods, you can move objects at any time even if a Sim is interacting with them, and the Sim will terminate their actions and reset themselves to a nearby tile.
However, MoveObjects in Sims 4 has additional features. With the cheat enabled, objects can be moved vertically or onto surfaces they should not be able to be placed. You can place tables onto beds, or toilets onto pools! Note that when used this way, Sims often cannot use the object in question; they wouldn’t be able to physically reach it to trigger the object's animation scripts. The cheat can be used instead to design houses in unique ways.
Some of you probably noticed that the ModifyRelationship cheat doesn’t function properly ever since the latest big update for The Sims 4.
SimGuruNick posted a tweet about this saying that the cheat still works – it was just renamed and needs a LTR_ prefix to the “Friendship_Main / Romance_Main” part of the cheat.
FOR SIMS: If you want to add a relationship between Sims, use the following code:
FRIENDSHIP: modifyrelationship <yoursimFirst> <yoursimLast> <TargetsimFirst> <TargetsimLast> <+amount> LTR_Friendship_Main
ROMANCE: modifyrelationship <yoursimFirst> <yoursimLast> <TargetsimFirst> <TargetsimLast> <+amount> LTR_Romance_Main
FOR SIMS + PETS: If you want to add a relationship between Sims and Pets use the following code:
Muell.ACABAACBAFabaceaewattle, cootamundraAcacia berlandieri Benth.ACABEACBEFabaceaesee Senegalia berlandieriAcacia constricta Benth.ACACSACCO2Fabaceaesee Vachellia constrictaAcacia dealbata LinkACADAACDE3Fabaceaewattle, silverAcacia decurrens Willd.ACADCACDEFabaceaewattle, greenAcacia farnesiana (L.) Willd.ACAFAACFAFabaceaesee Vachellia farnesianaAcacia greggii A. This list is being updated to provide more flexible search options in the near future. For instance, ‘downy brome’ is also known as ‘cheatgrass’ and one has to use ‘downy’ or ‘brome’ to lookup ‘cheatgrass’. Indian society of weed science.

Regarding the modifyrelationship cheat being broken on PC/Mac: it actually does work, you just have to type more than 'Friendship_Main' now. It's 'LTR_Friendship_Main' and 'LTR_SimToPet_Friendship_Main'. It won't work on pets with no last name from what I've seen.

The Sims 4 for PlayStation 4 is a simulation game that lets you create simulated people, or sims, and place them together in houses in your own little virtual world. The game never plays exactly the same way twice, because every sim has their own motivations, and there's no way to tell how things will end up playing out. If you want to add a whole new dimension of fun to the game, you can use Sims 4 cheats on the PlayStation 4 to alter everything from how much money your sims have in the bank to who they fall in love with.
The cheats, tips, tricks, and hacks in this article specifically apply to the Playstation 4 version of Sims 4. You may find Sim 4 cheat codes for Xbox One or Sims 4 cheat codes for PC more useful if you're using one of those platforms.
How Do Cheats Work in The Sims 4 on PS 4?
Cheats in The Sims 4 on PlayStation 4 can drastically alter your gameplay experience. They can make your life easier by providing a bunch of free money, allow you to alter aspects of your sims, create and destroy relationships, and make it a whole lot easier to build the house of your dreams. Cheats can even do funny things, like turn a sim's head into a toilet.
You're free to use as many cheats and codes, whenever you want, but it's important to note that enabling cheats disables your ability to earn trophies. Trophies are disabled on a per-save basis, so if you want to start earning them again, just create a new game or load a save where you never enabled cheats.
Maxis intentionally allows players to use cheats in The Sims 4 on PlayStation 4, so using them won't get you in any trouble. These cheats are often broken by game updates though, and Maxis can also turn any cheat off at any time. For example, a game update broke ghost and death cheats. If you find that a cheat doesn't work, and you're sure you entered it right, all you can do is wait to see if Maxis ever fixes it through a later update.
100F and sunny as hell. Skyrim a nostalgic aroma. Today was a true test because it's a hot as shit.
How to Enable Cheats in The Sims 4 on PS 4
Cheats are enabled in The Sims 4 on PlayStation 4 by opening the cheat console and entering the testingcheats true command. This is accomplished by pressing a combinations of keys on your keyboard in the PC version of the game, but in the PlayStation 4 version you can access the cheat console by pressing a combination of buttons on your DualShock 4 controller instead.
Here's how to enable cheats in The Sims 4 on PlayStation 4
- Launch the game, and either load a save or create a new household.
- Press and hold L1 + R1 + L2 + R2 (all four shoulder buttons) on your controller.
- A thin box will appear at the top of the screen. This is the cheat console.
- Press the X button on your controller to select the cheat console.
- Type testingcheats true, and press enter on the onscreen keyboard.
When this process is completed successfully, you will see a message in the cheat console that says cheats are enabled. You can then enter any cheats you like into the cheat console. If the cheat console disappears, just press and hold L1 + R1 + L2 + R2 on your controller to open it back up.
Some cheats are enabled with the on or true after the cheat code. These cheats can be disabled by using the same cheat code but typing off or false instead.
The Sims 4 PS 4 Money Cheats
You need a lot of cash, otherwise known as Simoleons, to get anything done in The Sims 4. You can get it the old fashioned way, by putting your sims to work, or use these money cheats for a quick cash injection or to make yourself a millionaire.
The Sims 4 PS 4 Build Mode Cheats
The build mode in The Sims 4 on PlayStation 4 allows you to alter your house, buy and place furnishings, and even build totally new houses that are bound only by your imagination.
If you want to get the most out of this system and remove all limitations, we have some pretty powerful build mode cheats that can change the rules that govern the placement of items, unlock new items, and even let you change the size of various objects.
Using Cheats in The Sims 4 on PS 4 to Modify Relationships
In The Sims 4 on PlayStation 4, individual sims have two different relationship stats that measure their feelings toward other sims. One of these stats determines if two sims are friends, and the other determines if they are romantically involved. These stats will change over time through normal gameplay, or you can use relationship cheats to instantly make two sims best friends or enemies.
Every Sims 4 cheat code that modifies relationships between two sims follows this basic format: modifyrelationship sim1FirstName sim1LastName sim2FirstName sim2LastName 100 RelationshipType. That is, you need to type the first and last name of one sim, the first and last name of a second sim, a number, and then the relationship type.
Here's an example:
modifyrelationship Kaz Hirai Shuhei Yoshida 100 LTR_Friendship_Main
If you entered that exact code into the cheat console, it would provide a nice friendship level boost between the sims Kaz Hirai and Shuhei Yoshida. If you use a negative number instead, you can create a negative effect on the friendship of the two sims instead.
Here are the codes that you can use in place of LTR_Friendship_Main from the example, and some extra cheats that also pertain to relationships:
The Sims 4 PS 4 Skill Cheats
Sims in The Sims 4 on PlayStation 4 all have their own skills, which they can improve over time through practice. If you're tired of waiting, you can use cheat codes to instantly boost, or even max out, any skill you like.
All cheat codes that modify skill levels in The Sims 4 on PlayStation 4 follow this format: stats.set_skill_level SkillName 10. That is, you use the stats.set_skill_level command, followed by a skill name, and then a number.
Here's an example:
stats.set_skill_level Major_Mischief 10
If you entered that exact code into the cheat console, your currently selected sim would be instantly boosted to a mischief skill level of 10, which is the highest it can go.
Here's a list of all the skills, and the associated codes, in The Sims 4 on PlayStation 4:
Special Skill Cheat Codes For The Sims 4 PS 4 Expansions
The Sims 4 on PlayStation 4 has a number of expansions that add totally new skills to the game. If you have the expansions, you can use the following codes to alter the skill level of any of your sims. These codes are used the same way as the codes in the previous section.
Here's an example:
stats.set_skill_level Media 10
If you entered that exact code into the cheat console, your currently selected sim would be immediately bumped up to a media production skill level of 10. However, it will only work if you have The Sims 4 Get Famous expansion. If you don't have the expansion that introduced a particular skill, using the code for that skill just won't work.
Here are all of all the skills that require specific expansions to work, and the codes you use to alter them:
The Sims 4 PS 4 Child Skill Cheats
Children in The Sims 4 for PlayStation 4 have their own basic skills, which they need to build and improve upon before they become teenagers. These skills can be altered and boosted the same way as adult skills, using the same basic command.
All cheat codes that modify a child's skill levels in The Sims 4 on PlayStation 4 follow this format: stats.set_skill_level SkillName 10. That is, you use the stats.set_skill_level command, followed by a skill name, and then a number.
Here's an example:
stats.set_skill_level Skill_Child_Creativity 10
If you entered that exact code into the cheat console, your currently selected child sim would be instantly boosted to a creativity skill level of 10, which is the highest it can go.
The Sims 4 PS 4 Toddler Skill Cheats
Toddlers in The Sims 4 on PlayStation 4 have their own set of skills that are similar to, but distinct from, child skills. When a toddler sim grows to become a child, they get boosts in each child skill based on how high you were able to get their toddler skills. If you want to make sure your kids get the best head start possible, you can boost their toddler skills using the same kind of commands that boost both child and adult skills.
All cheat codes that modify toddler skill levels follow this format: stats.set_skill_level SkillName 5. That is, you use the stats.set_skill_level command, followed by a skill name, and then a number.
Here's an example:
stats.set_skill_level Skill_Toddler_Thinking 5
If you entered that exact code into the cheat console, your currently selected sim would be instantly boosted to a thinking skill level of 5, which is the highest it can go.
Note: Most toddler skills max out at 5, unlike child and adult skills. The exception is potty training, which tops out at just 3 instead of 5.
Here are all the toddler skills and associated codes:

Teen Job Cheats in The Sims 4 on PS 4
Just like real life, teen sims have limited job prospects. In fact, teen sims can't hold any of the jobs that your adult sims have available. Instead, there's a smaller set of jobs that are exclusively available to teen sims. Like adult careers, you can use cheat codes to alter your teen sims jobs.
The basic commands are the same as the adult career commands, but they use codes that are unique to teens. Like all the other cheats in The Sims 4, you type the code into the cheat console to activate it.
Here's an example: careers.add_career Teen_FastFood
If you entered that exact code into the cheat console, the selected teen sim would get a new job in the fast-paced world of the fast food industry.
Here are the available jobs, and associated codes, for teens in The Sims 4 on PlayStation 4:
Interaction Cheats in The Sims 4 on PS 4
Most cheats in The Sims 4 on PlayStation 4 are turned on and off through text commands that you enter into the cheat console. Once you turn cheats on using the testingcheats true command, you also unlock some powerful cheats that can only be accessed through contextual menus.
To use these special cheats in the PC version of the game, you need to hold shift when you click on a sim or object to access the special cheat menu.
That isn't possible on PlayStation 4 if you don't have a mouse and keyboard connected, so you also have the option to move the selection cursor over a sim or object and then press and hold the O button before pressing the X button to access this menu. With the menu open, you can select any of the available cheats to activate them.
To use these interaction cheats:
- Type testingcheats true into the cheat console to make sure cheats are turned on.
- Move the targeting cursor over a sim or object.
- Press and hold the O button on your controller.
- Press the X button on your controller.
- Select a cheat in the special cheat menu that appears.
