The beauty of The Sims 4 is you can live multiple realities and careers, especially with the sheer number of The Sims 4 DLCs available. It's a shame we can't type 'motherlode' in real life and get infinitely rich! However, at Rivalry, we can make you rich with The Sims 4 cheats — when you next create a Sim, you can start from the top, not the bottom.
In addition to getting unlimited cash, many cheat codes are available to help your Sim climb the career ladder, fulfill all their needs at the click of a button, and other types of "help" made possible in this beloved life-sim published by EA Games.
We've created this list of the best cheat codes for the PC version and Console of The Sims 4. Without further ado, here are all the ultimate life hacks to use in The Sims 4.
To first use cheat codes in The Sim 4, players must know how to access the cheat console dialogue box to input each cheat code. Here's how to enable The Sims 4 cheat console for each platform:
PC players should load up The Sims 4 and press "CTRL + SHIFT + C." to open the cheat console dialogue box. Then type in the cheats you'd like to use and press enter to confirm.
Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S players should press "LT + LB + RT + RB", all the top buttons on their Xbox controller, to enable the cheat console.
For PlayStation players, whether on PS4 or PS5, press "L1 + L2 + L3 + L4" to open up the cheat console.
You'll need to first use the "testingCheats true" cheat to access other cheats. This way, you can perform extra cheats by Shift-Clicking Sims, with other cheat options available.
Once "testingCheats" is activated, you can enable God mode, where you can move Sims between families, fill up their needs and happiness bars, and more.
The Sims 4 replicates real life in that your Sims spend all their spare cash on rent, utilities, and groceries. Luckily, these money cheat codes can bulk up their banks and even give them unlimited money!
Just enter any of the following cheat codes into the cheat box to get stacks of cash straight into your Sims wallets.
You can use the following cheat codes in the console to clean up the Sims 4 user interface, adding or removing game elements like Plumbobs from your field of view.
If you want more freedom when building, use these build mode cheats to fully let your creative juices flow and craft the house of your Sims dreams!
If your Sim is stuck somewhere they shouldn't be, you can play the hand of God and rescue them. Or, if you've lost track of time staring into the abyss, you can quickly fulfill all your Sim Sims needs with a quick and easy cheat code fix. Job's a gooden!
If your Sims are struggling to make friends (just like in real life!), you can use the cheat console code "relationship.introduce_sim_to_all_others" to instantly break the ice with all your neighbours. If only reality was that easy!
You can also use the following enter cheats to spawn an instant friend or even create an automatic friends, all without the awkward small talk:
With the latter cheat code, you can substitute "Friendship" for "Romance" to change romantic relationship values. You can also add negative values, e.g. -100, to decrease a relationship/friendship, or positive values, +100, to increase it.
Do you want your Sims to be multi-career legends and follow their dreams? There are several cheat codes you can use to enter your Sims into a new profession, get a promotion, or even have them retire to collect their weekly pension:
Use careers.add_career [career] to add careers with their career code in the list below. Teen Sims can also get jobs or side hustles, with corresponding cheat codes, like Teen_Babysitter, Teen_Barista, and Teen_FastFood, as examples.
careers.promote [career] and careers.remove [career] work in the same way to get a promotion or remove your Sim's current job. You can also use careers.retire [career] to quit entirely. Here is a list of all the careers your Sim can get into.
