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.

hey I got rosebud and motherlode working but I was hoping someone could tell me how to multiply it so i don't have to write it a million times? Remember back in the day on the older Sim's you could put in rosebud;' or something and t would multiply it so you didn't have to write it so much idk if anyone remembers it?? I'd love to be able to use it so I can get it done asap!! Please someone help!!!
Pause your game. Press Control-Shift-C to bring up the small window where you type in the cheats. Copy and paste testingcheats on then press enter. Next copy and paste bb.moveobjects on then press enter. Now pick up and object and hold alt for perfect placement.
We have a page on the ghosts traits.equip cheats here that might help you. Scroll down to the heading 'Cheat to get a Ghost'. You could always download a ghost directly from the Gallery into your game as well.
There is an exploit that I use. try for baby until you see the sim who can get pregnant make the thought bubble with baby items in it or the action like they are going to be sick... this means that sim is pregnant. Without taking a pregnancy test continue to try for baby as few more times (at least three). Wait until the sim naturally finds out they are pregnant (i.e. no test). Usually this results in multiple nooboos. It's always worked for me but tbh I haven't tried this since the last patch so hopefully this exploit hasn't changed.
Hi, just checked in my game. Everything is working as per normal. Do you have any mods as I know this patch as broken quite a few. If you have no mods and still are having problems quit out of your game and delete the localthumbcache.package file and then open your game again. Still having issues then do a Repair. Open up Origin, Click on the Game Library tab then Right-click Sims 4 > Repair Game.Tips on using testing Cheats - might be useful for you
Hi, I have tried 3 times to get my Sims for my Legacy back to where it was with the relationship cheat and for some reason it is not working out for me what am I doing wrong? please help
First thing is to remove any mods you might use and try again, if it works then you know it's your mods and you will have to figure out which one is causing the issue.
If you have no mods check for typos as there is a fair amount of typing in this cheat. Also try adding a (+) sigh as that sometimes makes the cheat work: modifyrelationship Bella Goth Mortimer Goth +100 Friendship_main
Still having issues: quit out of your game. Delete the localthumbcache.package file from your The Sims 4 folder and then try again. Remember to turn on 'testingcheats on' first too.
There isn't a cheat for getting a sim pregnant but once your sim is pregnant you can speed the pregnancy up.Type testingcheats on, followed by Sims.add_buff buff_pregnancy_inlabor Guide to Babies
I love this site but lately on my iPad I keep getting a pop up of "you've won a gift card" and it opens a new window. This will cause me to not want to come here any longer. But this is my favorite site for all my sim guides I could ask for. If that pop up keeps happening I will have to find a new fave sim guide site. I'd rather not though. Pls get rid of that advertiser. I see that type of advertising intrusive and misleading. It doesn't do your site any justice. Thank you for listening and gathering so much info. Your team is awesome. Just gotta lose that advertiser. ;) and believe me, I can easily find things to complain about but there's only 1 thing that bugs me here. :) that's a good thing!! Best wishes. Ty again for all of the info we could ever need on the sims.
Thank you for reporting that! I will pass that info onto Carl immediately. We don't want pop ups like that happening at all! Because I am not based in America I see completely different adds so without people reporting it I wouldn't know. Also... super glad you enjoy the site. Carl works really hard on getting his best out there.
Thank you so much. Yeah, sometimes it doesn't open a new window and instead it removes the ability to go back a page. So I have to open Carl's page fresh. Drives me nuts. Lol. So glad you are understanding & didn't take that as a slam. I've been using this site for years. :) only 3 posts counting this 1 I believe. It's my only sims go to site besides MTS. :) Best wishes & ty again!
I found some new cheats for city living careers.promote socialmedia careers.promote politics careers.promote critic stats.set_skill_level adultmajor_singing
Sweet. Ty for sharing it!! We know you're not a Mortimer. :D. Haha. Though this isn't about PCs, it sort of is. I found it fascinating the names Mortimer & Lathario (spelling?) used in the sims had a meaning. Bella was w/ Mortimer and liked Don Lathario. There's a story there. Look up those names in google. I type this: definition lathario (or Mortimer). It should auto correct the spelling if it's wrong. I like the Easter eggs hidden in the game. Thought I'd share w/ you since you shared w/ us. :). Ty !!
I'm new to this whole sims 4 gameplay I think I like how easy it is to move around and play on sims 3 way better than sims 4 can anyone help me learn how it works so I can actually play it please thank you
I'd suggest reading through the various guides Carl has written. He has covered nearly everything! head back to the main page and navigate around from there. Happy reading.
I agree w/ the one who responded. I wasn't too keen on sims 4 at first but w/ a few new EPs I got into it more. Then I had to learn how it worked compared to sims 3 and earlier. This site had all I needed to know. Everything! You can browse by EPs, SPs, etc. in-game under lessons is a bit of info also. I use both to learn more about what I'm curious of. :). Best to you you'll get the hang of it. If I can, you can. Lol.
You don't need to cheat, just back a cake, put candles on it and then choose the child to blow out the candles. This will 'force' the sim to age up even with aging turned off.
Oh. For anyone else, I think using the 'reader' on iPad Air helps prevent ads from showing but sometimes hides other relative info. (You have to be super quick to click it sometimes if it's pop ups you're dealing with. ) It makes it look cleaned up though when using 'reader'. Sorry. Didn't think of this until I posted already. O.o hope it's helpful.
Thank you for letting me know what's going on with it. It did it again yesterday. I'm on an iPad Air in central USA if it helps. I'm still coming here because you guys are working on that and I can let you know when it stops, maybe. Sometimes it won't do anything wrong and sometimes it does. Not sure of the trigger lest it's a specific ad on the page doing it and it's not always there or is random? Lol. I don't envy your situation but wish you the best with it. Love this site. Always recommend it. :) Tysm. Pls say hi to Carl for me. And thank him for his long term efforts and for picking a great team to assist him. :) thank you! Best to you & yours. Xts
Thx so much Carl, I was searching how to Sing better and better a Politician fast on the New Sims 4 City Living and you saved me because I am not wasting time talking to Sims that I don't know what they talk about XD
"For those like additional waiter or discounts on ingredients, you may need to take them in oder". Dine Out Cheats Typo. Oder likely order. lol I tend to find typos, just don't catch my own in time. Haha my restaurant is doing pretty good thanks to you guys! Thanks!
Sure. I found another yesterday but didn't want to be the spellchecker police in chat. Haha. Ty!! I like helping out, esp those who help others. :) Best wishes to you & yours!
The landlord is hateful and my sims are 'good' sims. Anyone know how to change landlord's personality. Tried in cas but it was limited. I wanna get along to get things fixed but my sims wife won't quit flirting w/ the creepy landlord. lol I have to make her leave the room because he gets angry with her. I can't find 'no jealousy' like in Sims 3. I have never, ever had jealousy issues w/ sims going back to sims 1. Haha. I'm new to this situation. Tips, ideas, cheats?? Pls. Ty in advance.
Enable testingcheats on then use the cas.fulleditmode on cheat and shift click the landlord, this will give you the option of editing him in CAS. Once there you can change his traits. Traits changed this way do leave a 'hidden element' behind but it isn't really noticeable on unplayed/uncontrolled sims. Alternatively you could kill your landlord and the game will spawn a new one for you.
LOL. Thank you for your detailed response. Love the humor. Since sims 1 I've only killed 1 sim intentionally, then I felt bad. Haha. I'm tomboy but I'm still a girl at heart. I accidentally killed a few though. One I caged in a fenced in area in sims 2 because he started a fight w/ my sim. Well, he wouldn't eat, sleep or use the toilet I stuck in there. It was Mortimer Goth. Lol. Then the wife came home and Mortimer was a ghost. Scared the ***** out of her. Haha big Oops. I don't recall ever seeing that cheat you provided. Tysm!
I am still loving your cheats!! Thanks so much to you, Carl and TwistedMexi!! I don't know how long it would have taken me to accomplish what I have without you two!!!
Hey Carl I simply love all that you do for us Sims family/lovers.. One question how do I get perks for my retail business and restaurant... Please help me... Thanks an advance
Enable testingcheats.on then using the cheat codes above in the guide type or copy and paste them into the cheats console and then hit enter. For them to show it is best if your sim is on the restaurant lot or retail lot when you do this. Some of the perks in retail will show as now being unlocked in the buy/build menu which you can not access unless you are actively on the retail lot.
Carl , you are like my everyday hero. Whenever I forget or do not know cheats you are always there to help. I want to thank you for all your hard work in the sims community to benefit not only you as a writer and blogger but as a simmer. All my regards.

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.

Copy and paste testingcheats on then press enter.
Next copy and paste bb.moveobjects on then press enter.
Now pick up and object and hold alt for perfect placement.
I cant add a ghost to my household.
(I turned on testing cheats)
You could always download a ghost directly from the Gallery into your game as well.
this totally helped

That's just for death but in-game under options, check gameplay. In there you'll see aging options.
