The Sims 4 is easily one of the greatest modern-day simulation games, but those games are always better when you know all of the cheats for them and how to use them. If you played through any of the previous Sims games, you likely understand how much your gameplay can be improved with cheats. There are cheats for nearly everything in the game, from pregnancy to money, and even for altering your build mode features. Keep reading for a complete list of all the cheats in The Sims 4 and how to use each of them.
How to Use Cheats in The Sims 4
To begin with, you can’t use any of the cheats in-game until you open up the game’s Cheat Console. Don’t worry, though. It’s a pretty easy thing to do. If you are on PC, you can open up the Cheat Console by pressing the Ctrl + Shift+ C buttons simultaneously. This will bring up a box at the top of your screen that you can type your cheat codes into. Every time you type in a cheat code, make sure to press Enter in order to make the cheat take effect.
If you are on the console, you can open up the Cheat Console by pressing all 4 of the shoulder buttons on your controller at once. This would be LT, LB, RT, RB on Xbox, and L1, L2, R1, R2 on PlayStation. To replace a shift click on Xbox, hold B down while you press A. To replace a shift click on PlayStation, hold down Circle while you press X.
