What is fabrication skill in Sims 4?
Fabrication is one of the major skills in the game, introduced in The Sims 4: Eco Lifestyle, perfect for crafty Sims who enjoy furniture and candle-making. The better they get at it, the more types of furniture they are able to fabricate. It’s a great skill to have if your Sims want to go eco-friendly and do their best to keep the eco-footprint as green as possible.

Being a major skill, it has 10 levels Sims have to master and each of those brings cool skill unlocks. Developing the skill takes time, so if you are in a rush to start fabricating quality items, fabrication skill cheats will be your best allies!

Fabrication skill cheats make the learning process faster and easier. You can use a few types of codes, depending on how subtly you want to cheat.

These are all versatile, so you can use them all or just use one. Now, onto the cheats!

Fabricators cost $1,800, the Recycling machine costs $845 and Candle-Making stations are $550, which is a lot, especially if they don’t come from money. Luckily, cheats can always come to the rescue so that your Sim can afford all the skill-building essentials! There are a few cheats you can use:
- rosebud – This will add 1,000 simoleons to your funds. Alternatively, use kaching for the same effect.

- money x – It will add X amount of money to your funds, allowing you to control precisely the amount of simoleons you are adding.
How to improve fabrication skills using cheats?

Once they are all set and have the equipment needed to start making stuff, your Sim can start learning the skill. To help them improve it faster, you can type stats.set_skill_level AdultMajor_Fabrication #. Replace ”#” in this fabrication skill cheat with any number from 1-10, depending on how fast you want them to advance.
For instance, if you want them to reach level 7 using this fabrication skill cheat, simply type stats.set_skill_level AdultMajor_Fabrication 7, and they’ll immediately reach level 7 of fabrication skill, unlocking all that comes with reaching that level! Or, replace ”#” with number 10 and the skill will be maxed out in a heartbeat.
How to get your Sim in the right mood for learning fabrication skills?
Did you know that having a focused moodlet can help your Sim learn fabrication skills faster? Your Sim won’t always feel like learning, but you can always give them that extra focus and motivation by using cheats. To make them focus and boost skill gains use one of these cheats:
- sims.add_buff e_buff_focused – adds 4h focused moodlet
- sims.add_buff FocusedHigh – adds 12h focused moodlet
Get them focused and their learning progress will increase by 20%! This is a great cheat if you want to boost their skill gains slightly, but don’t want to use the fabrication skill cheat to make them skip levels.
