Welcome to SnootySims’ ultimate guide on using Sims 4 cheats! We will be exploring each individual cheat for the game, including examples of how each one works. If you’ve never used cheats, this is where you learn how to get started (you were missing out on A LOT, by the way!) Worry not though, by the end of this guide, you’ll learn how to use every Sims 4 cheat on PC, PS4, and Xbox One!
How to cheat in the Sims 4?
We have an extended guide on testing cheats in The Sims 4 that you can check! It teaches all the fundamentals of cheating in TS4, so even if you’re new, you can get up to speed on all basic cheats! But as for now, let’s get started on how to cheat in the Sims!
Watch this helpful video to learn how to enable cheats in the Sims 4!
By default, cheat usage is disabled when you first launch your game. To enable cheats in The Sims 4 for PC, you must press SHIFT + CTRL + C on your keyboard. This combination of keys will trigger the cheat console, or the cheat box as we call it, to pop up. That’s the little window that appears in the upper left corner of your screen. We use it to type in our codes whenever we want to activate on.
And so, to enable cheats in The Sims 4, you must insert the “testingcheats true” or “testingcheats on” line in the dialogue bar. By pressing ENTER, you’ll receive a quick message informing you that codes are now enabled in your game. When that is done, you can proceed with adding the cheats that you want. Or you can SHIFT + CLICK on a Sim during your gameplay for some quick cheating.
If you want to turn off cheats and continue playing the game in the normal way, open up the command console once more. Now, you’ll have to type “testingcheats off” instead of “testingcheats on” and you’re done. Cheat usage will be disabled in your game and you can no longer use the extra benefits. Until you enable it again!
Using Cheats on PC, Mac, Playstation and Xbox 1
Enabling cheats on Mac, PS4 and Xbox 1 is pretty much the same thing. The only difference is, in order to trigger the cheat console, you need to press a different key combination. Follow the instructions below to open up the cheat box on each of the four gaming platforms:
- PC: Ctrl + Shift + C
- Mac: Command + Shift + C
- PS4: R1 + R2 + L1 + L2
- Xbox One: RB + RT + LB + LT

2. The Sims 4 Build Mode Cheats
Here we go with a comprehensive overview of the most important cheats for the Build Mode!
Move Objects Cheat
The Sims 4 Move Objects cheat is a fantastic way to broaden your creativity. When you’re building, you can activate this cheat and remove the limitation of placing items in the game. It allows you to put anything from the build menu to any corner of your house. You can even place two different windows together to create a new look.
- bb.moveobjects
This cheat will remove the limitations of placing items in the game.
Show Hidden Objects Cheat
The Sims 4 Show Hidden Objects cheat is another age-old cheat that any simmer uses regularly. What does it do? Well, it broadens the choice in the build menu by giving us all the hidden items that we can’t see otherwise. These items are the ones that you have to unlock through completing challenges and other stuff. So, the cheat is a great way to get more decorative items or similar without doing any hard work.
- bb.showhiddenobjects
This cheat will unlock all the items that you can only unlock through completing challenges and other stuff
Buydebug Cheat
The Show Hidden Object cheat has one more name within the community that you may have heard: The Sims 4 Buydebug cheat. Why is it called this way? It’s simple – the cheat debugs the hidden objects that are intentionally bugged by the developers of TS4. In other words, the debug cheat lets us use those kinds of items that already exist in the game, but we aren’t allowed to use them.
Take the police station as an example. There are a bunch of building objects that are only used there. For instance, you can see a bunch of prison cells in the police station. Well, the prison bars are an item that is used strictly there and nowhere else. So, the Buydebug cheat gives us that and similar objects to use when building our own homes. More items mean greater selection, which equals better homes in TS4!
- Debug – Type “debug” into your search bar to bring up all the hidden items
Free Real Estate Cheat
The Sims 4 Free Real Estate cheat isn’t necessarily connected with building, though it has similar effects. As its name suggests, it lets us purchase any existing lot in the game for free. This means that once you type this cheat in, you can select any world and any home you like without paying a single Simoleon.
This is a fantastic cheat to use when you’re too lazy to build a new home and just want to settle your Sims in as soon as possible!
- freerealestate on
This cheat lets us purchase any existing lot in the game for free. - freerealestate off
Use this to disable the feature of buying lots for free.
How to Unlock All Items
Now, when it comes to unlocking items in The Sims 4, there are a couple more cheats that you should know. Check the table below for cheat lines.
- bb.ignoregameplayunlocksentitlement
This cheat unlocks all the items that you get when progressing through careers. - bb.showliveeditobjects
Use this cheat to be able to buy all items in the build menu that are connected with the environment.
Expand a Lot Cheat
Among the codes for the build mode in The Sims 4, there are two more that we want to discuss with you. One of them is The Sims 4 Expand Lot cheat. Why is this cheat important? Well, it’s the closest thing that we have to a cheat that allows us to build our homes on an infinitely large lot.
But first of all, let’s make something clear. This cheat doesn’t actually increase the size of your chosen lot. There is no cheat for The Sims 4 that does this. And frankly, there is no way to modify the lot size in any way. So, the cheat below will enable you to change and rebuild all the existing lots in the Sims 4 worlds.
- bb.enablefreebuild
Use this cheat to change and rebuild all the existing lots in the game
3. The Sims 4 CAS Cheats
Next on the list, we have the CAS cheats. The main cheat line that you want to remember here is cas.fulleditmode. You want to use it in combination with testingcheats, just to make sure it will work properly when you activate it.
CAS And Edit Sim Cheats
If you’ve never used The Sims 4 CAS cheat, this is what you need to know about it. “CAS” is short for “Create a Sim”, which actually refers to the screen menu you’re operating when you’re creating a Sim. However, CAS is partially locked, or rather some of its aspects, are locked once you create your Sim. And if you try to make some edits afterwards, you won’t be able to do everything you want.
So, the CAS cheat lets us fully edit a Sim, from beginning to end. This means that you can change your Sim’s gender, age, looks, clothes, traits, and everything else, with no limitation! It’s a fantastic feature because it gives us full control over our own gameplay. It’s great for trying out new things with your Sims or for changing your family when you get bored of it.
How do use CAS and Edit Sims Cheats?
- cas.fulleditmode
This cheat line will allow you to fully edit a Sim, with no limitation. - SHIFT + (The Sim you want to edit)
Hold down SHIFT and click on the Sim you want to edit. - Modify in CAS
This will take you to the “Create a Sim” page where you can fully edit your sim.
Age Up Cheat
Many simmers search for The Sims 4 Age Up cheats in particular. However, many aren’t aware that you can do the same thing with the CAS cheat! As mentioned above, when you enter the full edit CAS menu, you can set the age of your Sim to whatever you want. You can make an older Sim younger and a younger Sim older!
How does the Age Up Cheat work? The Age Up Cheat Step by Step:
- SHIFT + CTRL + C
Start with this combo to open up the cheat command box. - testingcheats true
Enter this cheat into the dialogue box. - cas.fulleditmode
This cheat line is essential to aging up your sim. (It eliminates all CAS restrictions). - SHIFT + (The Sim you want to edit)
Hold down SHIFT and click on the Sim you want to age up. - Modify in CAS
This will take you to the “Create a Sim” page where you can fully age up or age down your sim by selecting the maturity categories on the left side.
Needs Cheats
Needs are an elementary part of the game and we all have a way of regulating them. Sometimes, though, it can feel like the game is all just filling up your Sim’s needs. So, check the codes below for a quick solution!
- sims.fill_all_commodities
This cheat will immediately fill all of your Sim’s needs and will stop them from draining. - fillmotive motive_
This is the core cheat line to filling a particular need once. - fillmotive motive_energy
An example of filing your Sim’s energy need up to 100%.
However, there’s a very basic way of filling all of your Sim’s needs, without having to use the cheat console. All you have to do is press SHIFT and then click on your Sim. You will get three main options while navigating the Cheat Need menu: Enable Need Decay, Disable Need Decay and Make Happy. The “Make Happy” option is your quick solution to topping your Sim’s needs!
Values Cheats
When it comes to creating the perfect Sim, values play a big part as well. The cheats for values are very helpful weapons we use to defeat some of the errors that we may not like in our Sims.
- stats.set_stat lifeSkillStatistic_
To change how your Sims behave, use the baseline stats.set_stat lifeSkillStatistic_ plus the level of the value your Sim will get. In contrast, you can go -50 or more to achieve the opposite effect. - stats.set_stat lifeSkillStatistic_Empathy 100
An example of adding the Empathy value to your Sim.
Traits Cheats
What about cheats for traits? Well, they work nearly the same way as the values cheat. Just change the last word into the trait you want in the base cheatline. And don’t forget to use numbers in the end, like with the values cheats, if you want to precisely set how strong the trait will be.
- traits.equip_trait
This is the baseline for adding traits to your Sims. - traits.equip_trait Compassionate
Use this cheat to add the “Compassionate” trait to your Sim. - traits.remove_trait
This is the baseline for removing traits from your Sims. - traits.remove_trait Compassionate
An example of removing the “Compassionate” trait from your Sim.
Mood And Emotion Cheats
The first thing to understand is that there are two types of moods in The Sims 4: positive and negative. The cheat to add one or the other is the same in its essence, with different endings, depending on the mood you want to add to your Sim. In this sense, the Sims 4 mood cheats are similar to the traits cheats we covered above. Check the table below for mood and emotion cheats.
- sims.add_buff_e_buff
This is the core cheat line for adding a mood to your sim. - sims.add_buff_e_buff_happy
An example of granting your Sim a happy mood. - sims.add_buff HappyHigh

Angry Cheat
When it comes to emotions in The Sims 4, a player can learn a lot about controlling their Sim’s moods. We highly suggest you to visit our emotion cheats guide and learn more about different moods, cheats, and ways to activate or deactivate certain emotions in your game.
There is one mood in particular that gives both new and seasoned simmers big troubles. And that’s the emotion of anger! There are a couple of ways you can activate an angry mood in The Sims 4, and here are all the codes for it!
- sims.add_buff_e_buff_angry
This makes your Sim angry for 12 hours. - sims.add_buff AngryHigh
Use this cheat to give your Sim a permanent angry mood.
Removing Buffs
And lastly, you should definitely learn how to remove a buff from your Sim. For a long time, the primary way of doing this was the cheat line below. This was the cheat we used to instantly remove all unwanted moodlets from our Sims. However, many players have reported that this cheat no longer works, so you’ll need some alternatives.
There are mainly two new ways of still using the Sims 4 Remove Buff cheat. The first one is via the AllCheats mod and the second is via the UI Cheat extension. Make sure to check our guide on the topic to know how you can operate both of these additions.
- sims.remove_all_buffs
This will instantly remove all unwanted moodlets from your Sim.

Modify a Relationship Cheat
The Sims 4 Relationship cheats are responsible for bringing two Sims closer, either in friendship or a romantic relationship. These cheats have been tricky for many simmers in the past, but we’re here to show you how to use them!
The following formulas are pretty self-explanatory. You’ll need to enter your Sim’s first and last name, as well as those of the Sim you want to get closer to.

How Do You Use Sims 4 Cheats on Mac?
If you’re an Apple user and you primarily play the game on a Mac system, then here is how you can use cheats.
First off, the steps are almost exactly the same as the ones provided for PC. The only difference is that instead of SHIFT + CTRL + C, you’ll have to use the COMMAND + CTRL + C combination of keys. The rest remains completely the same. This means that you’ll need to enable cheats first by inserting the same lines and then adding the rest of the cheats that you want. Pretty easy!
How do you Use The Sims 4 Cheats on PS4 and Xbox1?
The console users are not excluded and they can also use cheats for The Sims 4. Although some of the steps are different here, the idea remains the same.
If you want to use The Sims 4 cheats on your PS4, then you must enable cheats first as well. The way to do this is by pressing the four triggers (shoulder keys) at the back of your controller. This will trigger the cheat box to pop up, where you can type in your cheats. Here, you’ll have to maneuver the keyboard on the screen with your controller. And the cheatlines for activating and deactivating cheats remain the same – “testingcheats true”, “testingcheats on” and “testingcheats off”.
And the process is nearly the same if you want to use cheats on an Xbox One. The same back triggers should open up the command console box. Then, you’ll have to manually type in the cheat lines mentioned above with your controller. And that’s it!
That’s how you use codes on PS4 and Xbox One!
Wheat: “sims.add_buff Social_Angry”. This way your Sim will only be “triggered” when attending some activity that requires one or more Sims to be present.
What’s the MC Command Center?

- MC Population – lets you control the flow of Sim population in your game.
- MC Woohoo – allows all kinds of settings, including whether teens can woohoo or not.
Why is my Sims 4 Cheat Not Working?
Here are some possible reasons!
- You have to make sure that testingcheats is activated in your game. It’s easy to forget this step because it’s too easy. So, make sure to enable cheats first!
- There are a couple of codes that only work on one platform. Some Sims 4 cheats don’t work on Xbox One. And some cheats don’t work on PS4. It’s practically impossible to know whether some codes will work or not until you try them in your own game.
- Some cheats that you’ve comfortably used in the past may simply not work today. The game gets updated regularly and new packs arrive all the time. So, the developers may sometimes remove a cheat or two if they think that it’s potentially harmful to the game. This was the case with the cheat to remove buffs, but the community found a solution around it!
- It’s totally possible that Mods and CC clog your game and stop your codes from working. You see, codes can’t influence things that weren’t there from the start. Removing some of that extra content may solve your problem!
- If you have a bunch of apps running in the background while playing The Sims 4, chances are that some of your cheats will not work! This is simply because the game cannot work properly either. And exiting them is a proven fix! To know more about why some cheats don’t work, read this guide!
Conclusion
Cheats are a big part of The Sims 4. Contrary to most games, cheating here is actually recommended. Take the building cheats for example. Without them, no one would be able to craft such masterful homes, with numerous unique features about them.
