The Sims 4 Skill Cheats
Raise and Lower Skill Levels
Skill Cheats let you raise or lower each Skill's level individually. There is no cheat to max all skills at once, however.
Thankfully, the Sims Studio left in some development cheats that let us manually adjust Skills to any level we desire. This page is for handy reference to avoid you having to go through our massive Cheats page for the info you need. Here are the console commands you need to raise and/or lower Skills. Each cheat lets you select the level you want your Sim to have. If you want to see each level-up notification, you can do it by raising the skill level one at a time - 5, 6, 7 etc. Otherwise, we've got links to the skill guides here so that you can see what unlocks with each level and get information on using the abilities you'll be getting.
How to Use Skill Cheats
Opening the Console Type Control + Shift + C (Mac users make sure you're actually using control and not command). Type testingcheats on to allow the use of advanced cheats. A white box will appear at the top of the screen where you can type in the following commands. Replace X with the level you want to set the Sim at. Remember that a select few skills may cap at level 5 as more Expansions are released.
Note the space between stats.set_skill_level and major_skill x. If you want to max all skills, I've typed all of these out so that you can copy/paste them in-game, replace the x with the skill level (10 in most cases) and master all skills fairly quickly.
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 now have a Youtube Channel with over 50 guides in video format to go along with the huge site I've already created. Check it out and consider subscribing if you like my style.

Hi, I've tried doing the skill cheats just today. I did the following but the cheats still didn't work...:
1. ctrl shift c 2. testingcheats true 3. Stats.set_skill_level major_handiness 10 or Stats.set_skill_level adultmajor_handiness 10
I've tried everything, I even made a new game and tried to put in the cheats... I also did testingcheats true testing and cheats false a couple of times before encoding testingcheats true once again. Have I done something wrong? Did I forget to type in something? Or is the cheats not working anymore?
Admin: Skill cheats were broken or disabled in the most recent patch. There is a link in the guide under the heading Skill Cheats that will take you to an explanation and a mod to fix them
Since I updated my game to the new DLC 'seasons' the skill cheats don't work, none of them do... I've tried a few of them and none of them seem to work and this issue only seemed to start after I updated. I type in stats.set_skill_level major_baking 10 anybody else facing this issue??
Admin: Skill cheats were broken or disabled in the most recent patch
I enabled cheats (testingcheats on), but when I write stats.set_skill_level major-homestylecooking 10, nothing happens! Can someone please help!
Admin: The correct cheat is: stats.set_skill_level major_homestylecooking 10 You have used the incorrcet cheat here. So double check for any typos or misplaced spaces/special characters etc that shouldn't be there. Makes sure you have no mod conflicts or broken cc. Mods like MCCC will change how cheats work in some instances.
Hi, I've tried all of the methods in inputting skill cheats. Testing cheats is on, I've tried the copy paste method, I don't have any typos, and I've also tried being case sensitive but still to no avail. Any help?
Are you in live mode with your game paused? If you use mods/cc have you tried removing them all and then trying? Is you game totally up-to-date as a few patches ago some cheats were removed form the game but were patched back in.
I just need to say I love this website I wish I could rate it somewhere ive been using it for so many years and it has everything you would ever need and it is easy to find things, whoever wrote all this and linked it all together put in so much effort and its amazing so thank you

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.

You have used the incorrcet cheat here. So double check for any typos or misplaced spaces/special characters etc that shouldn't be there. Makes sure you have no mod conflicts or broken cc. Mods like MCCC will change how cheats work in some instances.
Before the commands will work you'll need to write: testingcheats on
Was there ever a cheat made for magic users to max their magic like the vampire lore?
ROM cheats here (Click)
I cant get the Selvadoradian Local Culture Skill one to work...
No mods and testing cheats are on. Thoughts?
Not sure as the cheat is working in my game. Are you sure you have not made a typo?
stats.set_skill_level Adultminor_localculture 1
You,sir, are brilliant. Still not sure why it didn't work the first time, though.
can you simplify this for max on all cheats please
its not working
All cheats are working as expected in my game, you must have made an error but without more information I can't help you.
The only way I can get any of the cheats to work are different to how this “admin” has put them in.
For example:
stats.set_skill_level adultmajor_HomestyleCooking 10
None of these cheats work unless I put the adultmajor bit in. Though they don’t mention this above, which they clearly should.
Hope it helps!
I've always trusted your page and thank you for all the info. You're the best!
they all work for me on PS4
Hi you should add stats.set_skill_level adultminor_entrepreneur 5
Knitting and cross stitch are definitely missing - don’t know if there’s any others.
Is there one for the cooking skill?
It’s there. You would use “Homestyle cooking” for regular cooking and “Gourmet Cooking” for gourmet
Honestly love this site for all things sims related! I have recently gotten back in to playing the sims 4. The cheats are definitely a winner for me!
I just need to say I love this website I wish I could rate it somewhere ive been using it for so many years and it has everything you would ever need and it is easy to find things, whoever wrote all this and linked it all together put in so much effort and its amazing so thank you
