Looking for working The Sims 4 cheat codes to unlock unlimited money, max out skills, or teleport your Sims anywhere? I’ve compiled the most comprehensive guide with every active cheat code for PC, Mac, Xbox, and PlayStation โ from basic money cheats to advanced career and expansion pack codes. Whether you’re trying to build your dream mansion or create the perfect Sim, these verified cheats will revolutionize your gameplay in 2026.
Before diving into the complete cheat list, here’s a quick overview of the most popular categories:
| Cheat Category | Purpose | Most Popular Code |
|---|---|---|
| Money Cheats | Gain Simoleons instantly | motherlode (ยง50,000) |
| Skill Cheats | Max out any skill | stats.set_skill_level |
| Career Cheats | Get instant promotions | careers.promote |
| Build Cheats | Remove building restrictions | bb.moveobjects |
| Needs Cheats | Fill all Sim needs | sims.fill_all_commodities |
| Relationship Cheats | Modify friendships/romance | modifyrelationship |
| CAS Cheats | Full Create-a-Sim editing | cas.fulleditmode |
| Death Cheats | Control life and death | death.toggle |
Before using any cheat in The Sims 4, you need to know how to open the cheat console and enable testing cheats. This is the foundation for all cheating in the game.
The method varies depending on your platform:
For PC:
For Mac:
For Xbox (Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S):
For PlayStation (PS4, PS5):
After opening the console, you MUST enable testing cheats before most other cheats will work:
testingcheats true
or
testingcheats on
When successful, you’ll see a message: “Cheats are Enabled.”
Important Notes:
testingcheats false or testingcheats offMoney makes your Sim’s world go round. Instead of grinding for Simoleons, use these instant money cheats:
| Cheat Code | Amount Gained | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| kaching | ยง1,000 | Classic cheat, works without testingcheats |
| rosebud | ยง1,000 | Nostalgic cheat from earlier Sims games |
| motherlode | ยง50,000 | Best for quick wealth |
| Money [amount] | Exact amount | Replace [amount] with desired number (e.g., Money 9999999) |
Free Real Estate:
FreeRealEstate on
This cheat makes ALL residential lots free to purchase. Enter it while in the neighborhood/world view before selecting a lot. Perfect for moving into mansions you can’t afford!
To disable: FreeRealEstate off
Household Funds Adjustment:
sims.modify_funds +[amount]
Or to remove money:
sims.modify_funds -[amount]
Example: sims.modify_funds +500000 adds ยง500,000 to your household
I’ve found that using the Money cheat to set an exact amount (like Money 100000 for a fresh start) feels more balanced than spamming motherlode. You can also use testing cheats to Shift+Click on your mailbox and select “Make Household” to access instant money options.

One of the most powerful aspects of cheating in The Sims 4 is the ability to instantly max out any skill. Here’s the complete skill cheat guide organized by game pack.
The format for all skill cheats is:
stats.set_skill_level [skill_name] [level]
[skill_name] with the specific skill code[level] with a number (1-10 for Major skills, 1-5 for Minor skills)stats.set_skill_level Major_Piano 10 maxes out Piano skillMajor Skills (Level 1-10):

After years of playing The Sims 4, I’ve learned these valuable lessons:
No, you cannot get banned for using cheat codes in The Sims 4. EA and Maxis officially support cheating in The Sims franchise, and cheat codes are considered a legitimate part of the game. The only consequence on console platforms is that using certain cheats (specifically testingcheats) will disable achievements for that particular save file.
On PC, cheats do not disable Steam or EA achievements. On Xbox and PlayStation consoles, using testingcheats true or any cheats that require it will disable achievements/trophies for that specific save file only. Your other save files remain unaffected. Basic money cheats (kaching, motherlode) don’t disable achievements.
The most useful cheat is arguably bb.moveobjects for builders, and testingcheats true for general gameplay since it unlocks Shift+Click options. For quick improvements, motherlode (ยง50,000) is the most used cheat overall. However, cas.fulleditmode is invaluable for completely redesigning Sims.
To unlock all career and gameplay-restricted items in Build/Buy mode, use:
bb.ignoregameplayunlocksentitlement
To see all debug/hidden objects:
bb.showhiddenobjects
bb.showliveeditobjects
Yes! The Sims 4 supports cheats on Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5. The only difference is that you open the cheat console by holding all four shoulder buttons instead of keyboard shortcuts. Remember that using testingcheats on console will disable achievements for that save.
If your Sim is stuck or glitching:
resetSim [FirstName] [LastName]
Example: resetSim Bella Goth
To reset all Sims in the world:
resetsim *
While rare, excessive or improper use of cheats can occasionally cause save file issues, especially:
Best Practice: Always backup your saves folder regularly at Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4/Saves
Yes, most cheats need to be re-entered each time you load your game. Specifically:
Exception: Permanent changes like added money, modified relationships, changed traits, and skill levels persist across sessions.
Create a text file with all your desired skill cheats, then copy and paste them into the console one at a time:
testingcheats true
stats.set_skill_level Major_HomestyleCooking 10
stats.set_skill_level Major_Charisma 10
stats.set_skill_level Skill_Fitness 10
etc.
No, cheats for expansion pack content only work if you own that specific pack. For example, you cannot use vampire cheats without the Vampires game pack, or horse skill cheats without Horse Ranch. Base game cheats work for everyone.
Most cheats can be reversed:
traits.remove_trait [code]death.toggle falsetraits.remove_trait [occult_code]Money [amount] sets it to exact valuetraits.remove_trait [ghost_code]Yes, but enter them one at a time. Press Enter after each cheat to ensure it registers properly. Avoid entering multiple cheats too quickly, as this can occasionally cause glitches. Wait 1-2 seconds between cheats for stability.
The Sims 4 cheat codes transform your gameplay from restrictive to limitless. Whether you’re using money cheats to build dream mansions, skill cheats to create expert Sims instantly, or career cheats to reach the top overnight, these codes put you in complete control.
