The Sims 4 Cheats
Full List of Commands for PC/Mac, Xbox and Playstation 4
This is a huge, curated list of cheats in The Sims 4 that allow you to get money, prevent death, and adjust your Skill and Career levels. We've also listed cheats for Get to Work and other Expansion Packs. Look to the bottom of the list for expansion-specific information. We're also updated with more official cheats from EA, including ignore career unlocks and MoveObjects!
How to Cheat
To use cheats, press Control + Shift + C to toggle the console on and off. You do this on Xbox or Playstation by pressing all four shoulder buttons simultaneously. Press enter after typing the cheat. For many cheats, you must also use testingcheats on or they will not work. Most cheats are used in live mode (F2).

Pregnancy and Multiple Birth Cheats You can use relationship cheats to Try for Baby quickly, and follow up with a cheat once the Sim is pregnant in order to force the Sim into labor. You can also cheat to get twins, triplets, quadruplets, or more! Find this near the end of the Pregnancy Guide or to get pregnancy cheats specifically, I've made a page about how to use Pregnancy Cheats which includes a video example.
Cheats to Make a Sim a Ghost Head to the Ghosts guide for Cheats to turn a Sim into a ghost of any kind, based on the death type. You can also skip Ambrosia or the Book of Life and make a Sim who's died back into a normal Sim by removing this ghost trait once they've been added back to your family.

Video Guide
My Sims 4 Cheats video will introduce you to cheating, give you a rundown of the most common commands and some tips on using them. Includes info on getting weather cheats for Seasons players.
Testing Cheats
To enable TestingCheats, open the console with Left CTRL+Shift+C (press/hold with one fluid motion in that order) or by pressing all four shoulder buttons on console. Once the white box appears, type testingcheats on. To disable testing cheat, type testingcheats off. The cheat console will say, "Cheats Enabled" or "Disabled". If it does not, you can try other options: testingcheats 1, testingcheats true, and testingcheats yes all work to enable the Sims 4's testingcheats. Once enabled, they should stay on for your save. Here are the things you can do with testingcheats - note that this command is also necessary for the extra cheats further down.
How to Use Shift-click Style Cheats on PS4/Xbox Consoles - Shift clicking on Xbox One and Playstation 4 is obviously not possible. You enable this option by pressing X+O (PS4) or A+B (Xbox One).
Shift-Click the Mailbox to access the cheat to stop a Sim's need decay for your current household or the entire neighborhood (effectively make everyone happy). Disable Need Decay will make needs stop falling and re-enabling them is as simple as selecting "Enable Need Decay". Make Happy will then fill needs to the maximum. You can do this on an individual Sim level by Shift-Clicking Your Sims. This will let you select to make only that Sim's needs static or make them happy by filling all needs. You are also able to completely redesign a Sim by shift-clicking them and selecting Modify in CAS. This takes you to Create-A-Sim where you can make the Sim look however you want, but not change their gender or traits.
Change Traits and Appearance of Sims To fully edit a Sim in Create-a-Sim, type cas.fulleditmode with Testing Cheats On. This will let you change the gender, traits, everything, and is much more powerful than the scaled down version you get without typing this cheat. Thanks Pokeh321 for giving me this information.
Shift-Clicking NPC Sims will allow you to add them to your household. You will find it's possible to enable/disable need decay and make them happy if you so choose - good if your Sim's date has to leave due to being tired! You can also Edit them in CAS if you like.
Shift-Clicking the Ground will allow you to Teleport anywhere you could walk in the neighborhood. Shift-Clicking Objects allows you to reset them, should something get stuck or broken.
Shift-Clicking Objects, for those that can get dirty, allows you to either make them dirty or clean - all objects can be reset, as well. Use this if an object is bugged, but it's more likely to be useful when a Sim freezes.
Customize the size of Items - Enlarge or Shrink - For decorative purposes, this one is a winner. It allows you to alter items while retaining their other properties (so a masterpiece painting shrunk down will consume less wall space). This cheat only works while in build mode, as changing object size requires you to be able to fit it somewhere. Take the object you want to change size of and Press Shift + ] (right bracket) to make it bigger. You can shrink objects down to one tile by using Shift + [ or using Control + Z to undo your changes. Press this too much and it will grow enormously. The controls for this are a little wonky, so experimentation is recommended. I press control + ] then move the object to see the change. This is necessary. Thankfully, if you go overboard like in the picture above you can always undo it and shrink the object down to a size you like.
Skill, Career, and Aspiration Cheats
Powerful Hidden Cheats
I am only listing the most common cheats here. More in-depth stuff, such as the ability to Equip and Remove Traits can be done but the list is too lengthy for here, so that is on its own page. If you want to go further and use a mod, you can change the weather if you're a Seasons player, and even alter whether a Sim is pregnant.
Testingcheats on should be enabled, as some cheats will not work without it. Skill/Career cheats only effect the selected Sim.
Money X - Type Money 50000 or 1000000, whatever you like, and your family will have that amount exactly. This can be used to subtract funds, because it sets the money to whatever amount you specify. Motherlode is a wonderful cheat, but somewhat outdated given this powerful function.
Satisfaction/Aspiration Cheats - Type Aspirations.Complete_Current_Milestone and you will get all the satisfaction from completing that milestone and move on to the next, one stage closer to the special Reward Trait you get for completing the Aspiration. You can do this repeatedly until you have every Reward trait and gobs of satisfaction. It's listed above but bears repeating here: Sims.Give_Satisfaction_Points gives the selected Sim an amount of satisfaction equal to what you enter. sims.give_satisfaction_points 50000 would give you 50,000 (so do not use commas).
Infinite Consumables - One-time use potions can be bought with satisfaction. You may also milk Cow Plants that have killed Sims to get a potion that increases a Sim's lifespan. You can make these consumables infinite by using the objects.consumables_infinite_toggle Cheat. This can allow you to always get a particular Emotion, or make a Sim immortal with aging still on.
Explore My Mods! Color Picker for Builders, Seasons Tuner, Dine Out Reloaded and a Gameplay Overhaul! Like other modders, I've been working to make The Sims 4 a better game. Check out my many mods here!
Careers Cheats
To cheat career levels, join the Career you want and with testingcheats enabled, type Careers.promote X - for example careers.promote astronaut would promote your Sim to the next level in the Astronaut career. Any Careers that have multiple words should contain no spaces, for example careers.promote secretagent.
careers.demote X also works, causing a Sim to go back a level. You cannot use this to go back to the branch choice for a career - if you're at the first level of a branch, you'll be fired using this. If you don't know which branch you want, check out the linked Career guides to see the benefits and pay of each. The Careers Guide also has a table to compare careers.
Adding and Removing Cheats via Command Careers can be added via command using careers.add_career careercode or careers.remove_career careercode. These can evidently be used to give a teenager an adult job, though things can bug out - especially with Freelancer Careers. Always back up your saved game before trying weird things!
If you are not aware, you'll love this trick: to quickly get multiple promotions, copy the command below for the career you're in - just the careers.promote x part - and paste it into the game's command line with Control - V (Command-V on Mac). Paste it until you're level 10!
** may be just careers.promote scientist without Strangerville.
School Cheats
Raise a Sim's grades with careers.promote gradeschool or careers.promote highschool. You can lower them as well with careers.demote gradeschool/highschool.
Skill Cheats
Stats.Set_Skill_Level is the skill cheat. You must put a skill and level in the code. As an example, type Stats.set_skill_level major_painting 7 to set painting to level 7 - any level between 1 and 10 will work. Replace with major_parenting or vampire_lore, based on how the game defines skills which are listed below. Note the different syntax for fitness, minor skills, and children's skills. If you cannot get skill cheats to work try stats.set_skill_level adultmajor_x instead of just 'major'. You can find _ near the backspace key on your keyboard.
With testingcheats on, type Stats.set_skill_level major_handiness 10 - make handiness 10. Note the Major_ before the skill name. If you did this, you'd see the level 10 popup. If you want to see what unlocks with each level, read the linked guide or adjust it by 1 each time so that you can see information on each new level. Here are all the skills in Sims 4, which you can cheat to max. Beside each, there's a link to the associated Skill Guide so that you can learn how to use it!
To max all skills quickly, copy stats.set_skill_level major_ and paste it into your command console in-game. Finish the command with the skill, then the level. This doesn't work for fitness so you need to copy that line. Remember Photography caps at 5.
Skill_Bowling - stats.set_skill_level skill_bowling 5 (minor skill with 5 levels)
Skill_Dogtraining - stats.set_skill_level skill_dogtraining 5 (minor with 5 levels, Cats and Dogs Expansion Pack)
Skill_Fitness - stats.set_skill_level skill_fitness x (1-10, major skill) (Fitness Guide)
We have a Toddler Guide where you can learn about the Toddler Skills. These cap at 5, though potty is maxed at level 3. All skill cheats begin with stats.set_skill_level see full cheat on communication skill example below
Statistic_Skill_Toddler_Communication X - So type: stats.set_skill_level statistic_skill_toddler_communication 5
Skill_Child_Creativity - so stats.set_skill_level skill_child_creativity 10
Skill_Child_Mental
Skill_Child_Motor
Skill_Child_Social
Emotion Cheats
This requires TwistedMexi's AllCheats but is something people frequently want to do so I'm listing it here. You can influence Emotions slightly by adding buffs to Sims, though you may need happy or other boosts to put them at 'Very Inspired' or add more negative buffs to make a Sim super-embarrassed (Mortified). Here are some I took from TwistedMexi's wiki which I'm using with his permission. Use Sims.add_buff X, for example Sims.add_buff social_happy:
Energized: EnergizedLow or EnergizedHigh (do not stack, high gives +2 Energized)
Flirty: FlirtyLow or FlirtyHigh (do not stack, high gives +2 Flirty)
Inspired: InspiredLow or InspiredHigh (do not stack, high gives +2 Inspired)
Focused: FocusedLow or FocusedHigh (do not stack, high gives +2 Focused)
Playful: PlayfulLow or PlayfulHigh (do not stack, high gives +2 Playful)
Sad: SadLow or SadHigh (do not stack, high gives +2)
Angry: Social_Angry, e_Buff_Angry, feelingangry, unfaithful (these all stack)
Happy: Social_Happy or e_Buff_Happy (these two stack, adding Happiness)
Uncomfortable: e_buff_uncomfortable
Embarrassed: e_buff_embarrassed, peedself (these two stack)
Traits.equip_trait Webmaster - Webmaster Reward trait for completion of the Computer Whiz Aspiration
Huge List of Traits - For a near-complete list of traits Sims can obtain, see my Trait Cheats List which includes reward, bonus, and personality traits all in one spot.
Relationship Cheats
You can modify Sims' relationships by using the somewhat long modifyrelationship yoursimfirst yoursimlast targetsimfirst targetsimlast x relationshiptype. Relationshiptype is either LTR_Friendship_main or LTR_Romance_Main. With Cats and Dogs, you use LTR_SimtoPet_Friendship_Main, which won't work if the pet has no last name. X is the percentage of the bar, either full, half, or half into the red (negative numbers). While there are many different relationship names, these are simply combinations of varying amounts of friendship/romance (either positive or negative). Learn more about Romance in The Sims 4 here.
For example:
modifyrelationship Bella Goth Mortimer Goth 100 LTR_Friendship_main - Bella and Mortimer are now best friends
modifyrelationship Bella Goth Fluffy Goth 100 LTR_SimtoPet_Friendship_main - Make Bella friends with her pet if playing Cats and Dogs.
modifyrelationship Bella Goth Mortimer Goth -100 LTR_Friendship_main - this will make Bella and Mortifer go all the way to enemies
modifyrelationship Bella Goth Mortimer Goth 100 LTR_Romance_main - They're now soulmates if they have a high friendship level as well
modifyrelationship Bella Goth Mortimer Goth -100 LTR_Romance_main - Drain their romance bar all the way to red
Get to Work Cheats
The following are, again, provided by TwistedMexi who kindly took the time to find these cheats hidden within the game engine. Here are the most requested cheats from this Expansion. The others are spread about, such as in the careers and skills sections above. You can learn about Get to Work here.
Retail Perk Cheats Be sure to include the true at the end of these cheats in order to unlock the associated perk. This makes perk point cheats unnecessary, though it does require a bit more typing.
Learn about the Get Famous Expansion Pack here. Get Famous includes a lot of the cheats you need through the testingcheats interface. Shift-click Sims and you can use the 'Public Image' menu to increase the celebrity's fame rank, tweak their public image from good or bad, or even freeze their fame and remove specific quirks. If you want to reset fame perks, that's doable with the phone for $275. The actor career, acting skill, and media production are all found in their relevant categories but I'll list them: stats.set_skill_level major_acting 10, stats.set_skill_level minor_mediaproduction 5, careers.promote actor or, for children, careers.promote dramaclub for example.
Dine Out Cheats
The following restaurant perk cheats for the The Sims 4 Dine Out Game Pack were gathered based on the format for the GTW Cheats as this category seems to borrow from Get to Work's Retail. I found the same code works, just had to track down the name of them within the files. You'll notice they differ. Note that Meal Rush and Surplus Harvest can be used every 24 hours. For those like additional employees or discounts on ingredients, you may need to take them in oder. You can take tidy tippers multiple times but I'm not sure if you need to do something special to add extra ranks.

Vampires Cheats
How to Make a Sim a Vampire stats.set_stat commodity_BecomingVampire 2160 will begin the natural conversion process, while traits.equip_trait trait_OccultVampire will make them a vampire immediately. To remove the vampire trait and revert a Sim, use traits.remove_trait trait_OccultVampire. You can use these cheats to convert Sims from the Gallery. Learn to Become a Vampire the normal way.
How to Unlock Vampire Perks stats.set_stat rankedStatistic_Occult_VampireXP 1593 will max out your Vampire Rank and give you 2 Power Points each time you enter the code. Copy it from here and use control+V after opening the cheats panel in-game to paste it repeatedly. You can find more specific vampire cheats on TwistedMexi's wiki. He discovered these and gave me permission to share some of them.
Parenthood Cheats
The Sims 4 Parenthood comes with a new Parenting skill, which can be cheated in with stats.set_skill_level major_parenting X - it's in the major skills list above.
Character Values Cheat
Toddlers, Children, and Teens can have experience in five different character values, which range from -100 to 100 (bad or good). You can set these manually so that when the Sim ages up to adult they will receive reward traits that reflect their morality, manners, etc. They are set with: stats.set_stat lifeskillstatistic_empathy 100, as an example or stats.set_stat lifeskillstatistic_conflictresolution -100 - here's the full list. Be sure to include a number, based on how full or negative you'd like the experience bars to be:
Conflict Resolution: stats.set_stat lifeskillstatistic_conflictresolution X
Emotional Control: stats.set_stat lifeskillstatistic_emotionalcontrol X
Empathy: stats.set_stat lifeskillstatistic_empathy X
Manners: stats.set_stat lifeskillstatistic_manners X
Responsibility: stats.set_stat lifeskillstatistic_responsibility X
Reward Traits for Character Values New character values reward traits are earned when children and teens age up to adults, and can be added or removed from your Sim if you got a bad one. In some cases you can have the good one from one of the five categories, but can't equip the bad at the same time. Traits are added with traits.equip_trait x and removed with traits.remove_trait x. See the linked Character Values guide for information on what each of them do for your Sims. Here's a list of the character values and their trait pairs, along with two examples:
traits.equip_trait lifeskills_goodmanners - adds the Good Manners trait traits.remove_trait lifeskills_uncontrolledemotion - removes the Uncontrolled Emotion trait

The Sims 4 Cats and Dogs Cheats
Cats and Dogs offers a few ways to cheat. For one, you can raise the skills listed above (in-game code of Major_veterinarian and Skill_Dogtraining). You can also cheat to unlock Veterinarian Clinic perks. Here's the full list of codes to unlock them. After enabling testingcheats you'd type bucks.unlock_perk AdditionalVet_1 true to unlock the additional veterinarian. Note the _ as well as spaces between unlock_perk and true.

The Sims 4 Strangerville Game Pack only comes with a few cheats, notably the Military Career (above), and the potential to gather some evidence via show hidden objects in buy mode. See the Strangerville Cheats page for more details.
Island Living Cheats
Ahead of the launch of The Sims 4 Island Living, I published Cheats for Mermaids, Conservationists and Traits in Island Living. This guide will serve to put it all in one place while others are listed elsewhere on the site in their proper categories, as it should be. This pack also added Part Time Jobs, and while they used to be Teen-only you can now take them on as a Young Adult through Elder. Cheating them is pretty easy, they have the prefix PartTime_ so you'd type careers.promote PartTime_Lifeguard to promote your Sim in the Lifeguard job.
Realm of Magic Cheats
Realm of Magic includes a few cheats unique to that game pack. You can increase Spellcaster Rank, learn spells and potion recipes via buydebug, equip the unique traits from RoM, including Magical Bloodline, and add or remove curses. Here's a rundown on Realm of Magic Cheats which you will likely find helpful.
Credit Where It's Due I've since learned to find cheats myself, but many of these cheats were originally found by TwistedMexi, who is now a modder that is known for his AllCheats and unique build-mode mods. If you want to see more detailed cheats than I have, look here. I won't publish those that players might infrequently use and don't want to put literally every cheat on this page as it's already quite long. Many are intended to be used by developers and can cause issues with gameplay if used irresponsibly.
Nifty Knitting Cheats
There are two major Sims 4 cheats of note for Nifty Knitting, though not enough to bother making a unique page. See my How to Cheat Guide if you don't know how to use them.
First, you can of course cheat to increase the Knitting skill using stats.set_skill_level major_knitting 10. Additionally, it's possible to get past all the unlocking of CAS parts. See, even with level 10 knitting clothing needs to be added to the wardrobe. You can get around this using CAS.UnlockByTag SP17. This will allow your Sims to wear any clothing by unlocking them all. As a reminder, you can use bb.ShowHiddenObjects to make build mode items and decorative objects appear in the Build/Buy catalog.
Snowy Escape Cheats
Several cheats exist that are specific to Snowy Escape. Click here to see my Snowy Escape Cheats for lists of Lifestyles, special reward traits, and how to cheat your skills in the new Expansion Pack.
Cottage Living Cheats
If you'd like to use some cheats for Cottage Living click the link. It will take you to where you can learn how to get all the animal treats for golden chickens, upgrade your animal buildings to self-clean, or even put every single piece of animal clothing in your Sim's inventory!
If You Cannot Get Cheats to Work
Many cheats require testing cheats to work. Ensure you've done testingcheats on first. This mainly works from the live/build/buy modes of the game as many do not work on the map. You should pause it by pressing tilde (`) or clicking the pause icon, and when the time comes will need to first press and hold the left CTRL key, then Shift, then C in that order, without letting go of any of the keys, to open the console in the first place. This should be a fluid motion and not too slow. Secondly, cheats must be typed exactly. You can get some help with testingcheats by following this link.

Are you in live mode when trying to open the cheats console? Pause your game and hit Control+Shift+C all at the same time. If you're still having problems consider posting in the misc section of the forum as it's easier to get more info on what is going wrong there. Misc Help
Hey! I remember on sims 2 holiday edition if you left milk and cookies out santa would come.. is this something that can happen in sims 4 holidays? AND when i get married.. how do i take my husbands last name? Pleases and thankyous to you amazing sims fanatics :)
Nothing like milk and cookies bringing an NPC, sadly. That sounds really neat. To change your sims name you will need to use the 'cas.fulleditmode on' cheat. You need 'testingcheats on' for this to work.
If you have Get To Work then male sims have the chance of being abducted and an even smaller chance of the abduction resulting in an alien 'implantation' (pregnancy).
Just have your sim cook over and over again. The cheat 'name' for cooking is 'Homestyle Cooking' if that's what you are looking for. There is a guide on cooking too that will help you. Cooking Guide
You have to be in live mode for the cheats console to open. Have a read of this post on our forum, it might help you to figure out what you are doing wrong. Cheats Help-Forum
Well, cheats I use all the time. I went to press CTRL SHIFT C today and it didn't work. I tried turning the sims 4 off and tried with another family. Any ideas?
I'm having trouble bringing up my cheat console :( i've followed every step thats listed. when i hit shift,ctrl, C nothing happens. i've paused the game and everything. PLEASE HELP!! Thanks, B
Well, cheats I use all the time. I went to press CTRL SHIFT C today and it didn't work. I tried turning the sims 4 off and tried with another family. Any ideas?
Are you in live mode? I'm not sure what might be going wrong as the cheats console is definitely working . If you can't find out what you are doing wrong post your question on the forum where we can answer your questions in more detail. Misc. Help-Forum
Hi, thanks so much for all the wonderful hints.. Questions... How do I undo full screen and how can i move a sim out of an household without adding them to another. He's adult need to move on
Everything about moving sims in this guide. Moving Sims Screen Options: Options Menu>Game Options. Then under 'Display Type' there is a drop down menu with the following: Full Screen/Windowed Full Screen/Windowed. You're probably wanting Windowed Full Screen.
Once you have opened the cheats console in live mode Control+Shift+C you then type in testingcheats on and hit return. Next you type in: 'Stats.set_skill_level major_handiness 6' - for example would give your sim L6 in the handiness skill. Stats.set_skill_level major_guitar 8 for example would give your sim L8 in guitar skill.
Easiest way is to copy and paste the cheats from the guide directly into your cheats console box at the top of your screen
Using testingcheats on then type cas.fulleditmode on and click on a dresser with your sim. This will take you to CAS where you can 'remake' your sim however you like. Careful about changing the age though as this will cause your sim to loose all the aspiration reward traits for good. It can also change family relationships that can be tricky to change back.
Take your sim to their retail shop. Pause the game. Turn on testingcheats on. Type in the cheat for the perk you want. Go to the Retail Icon in the lower right corner and open the perks points menu. If the perk is greyed out then the cheat worked. There will be a message 'Your sim does not meet the proper age or this item has already been claimed' when you mouse over the cheated for perk. If it is build/buy item you cheated for then it will now be available in the build/buy menu. If you can't find it search for it by it's name.
Pause your game. Press Control+Shift+ C at the same time. A small, narrow white box will open up at the top left of your screen. Click your mouse into it and type or copy and paste the cheat you want into it. Then press return. Remember a lot of the cheats need testingcheats on for the cheat to work.
Once you load up the game and are in Live mode, press Control + Shift + C all together. This will bring up the cheat console and then type in the cheat you want to use.At the top of this page, you'll find a Quick Links box that you can use to jump to the different cheat codes.Sims 4 Cheats
Please help me :( i dont know what happen but I cant use the moving objects thing :( i do everything but it didnt work... can you please tell me why? And what should i do :((((( i am desperateeee
When you are in your game, hit pause then go into build/Buy mode. Select the item you want to make larger and then hit Shift+] If the object doesn't appear bigger immediately wiggle the mouse around while still holding the object, once it appears bigger you can then place it where you want it.

A Deeper Game
The past month, I've spent every day tinkering The Sims 4, making quality of life improvements, gameplay changes, and new difficulty settings for the game. If you'd like to learn more about my project, visit the post on Patreon where you can download it now.
I have much more to come, since you can actually write a few guides about this pack!
Calling all Blender Users
Blender has been incredibly useful in video production, so I made my own Physics and Simulation Improvement Addon that lumps a ton of unique tools into one compact interface.
Sims 4 Snowy Escape
The Sims 4 Snowy Escape launches November 13, 2020 and my coverage has started. Until I get my review ready, you can learn about the following:
There is a new platform tool in The Sims 4. There's also a new Sentiments system, but it'll take some time to create a guide to that. Players can also use rental lots in any world now by changing lot types of builds in manage worlds.
Best Mods in Sims 4
I've created a massive List of The Best Mods in The Sims 4 that should be very helpful to new players and those who have not yet explored modding and how much it can do for your gameplay.
Readers who use adblock or those who'd like to thank me for my efforts can now pledge $1/$5 monthly via Patreon. This helps a lot with server costs and provides some stability for my business.
I now have a guide page to Tiny Living Stuff where you can learn about Murphy Beds, the new death, as well as the lot bonuses you'll receive if you manage to keep the size of your lot down with this new pack's Tiny Home Lot Type.
Let's Play Playlist
New I now have a guide to Making Super Sims in The Sims 4. Look for a text version within the next 72h. It won't have THAT much more info but it will help out as a checklist.
This was inspired by a series, "Let's Play a Super Sim" in which I start at toddler and gradually take on the major bonuses. Here's a link to each part for people who are interested. You can also see the Let's Play as a Playlist on Youtube.
The Sims 4 Discover University has been announced for November 15 for PC/Mac and December 17 for Xbox and Playstation 4 consoles. Click to learn more about the pack, see my summary of the livestream or read our FAQs below.

Screen Options: Options Menu>Game Options. Then under 'Display Type' there is a drop down menu with the following: Full Screen/Windowed Full Screen/Windowed.
You're probably wanting Windowed Full Screen.
'Stats.set_skill_level major_handiness 6' - for example would give your sim L6 in the handiness skill.
Stats.set_skill_level major_guitar 8 for example would give your sim L8 in guitar skill.
Easiest way is to copy and paste the cheats from the guide directly into your cheats console box at the top of your screen
Tnx 4 help
If it is build/buy item you cheated for then it will now be available in the build/buy menu. If you can't find it search for it by it's name.
Options Menu>Game Options>Game Play then change the 'autonomy' drop down menu to 'Off".
Remember a lot of the cheats need
