What Are Child Skills In Sims 4?
Much like toddlers, children in Sims 4 have a set of age-specific skills. These are creativity, mental, motor, and social skills. All four are fundamental skills similar and connected to the 4 toddler skills (communication, thinking, imagination, and movement). Toddlers who master toddler skills have an easier time learning child skills. Similarly, children who master child skills will later have some extra advantages in learning skills as teens and adults. For instance, creativity skills are connected to painting and playing instruments later on, so why not start when they are young?
How Can Child Skill Cheats Help You?
If you care about building skills, you’ll want to master these four abilities as soon as possible, as they can unlock some adult skills, such as logic or charisma, early on. However, each of the four has 10 levels for kids to master. If you play with a normal life span, taking care of school activities, and needs, and maxing out 4 skills can be very hard to accomplish without cheats. Now let’s see how to use them!
How to Enable Cheats In Sims 4?
To use any cheat in Sims 4, we must first enable cheats! Once you are in your game and playing an active household, type testingcheats true or testingcheats on in the cheat bar and hit Enter. To open the cheat bar, press these buttons/triggers simultaneously:
- PC – Ctrl + Shift + C
- Mac – Command + Shift + C
- Playstation or Xbox – all triggers
Once cheats are enabled, you can type in any of the below-mentioned child skill cheats!

Final Thoughts
Unless aging is disabled, childhood doesn’t last long, and it can be very difficult to reach level 10 in all 4 skills. However, with child skill cheats, we can skip the learning process altogether, and help them max out each in a matter of minutes. Use only one, or use them all to save time. Happy simming!
