The Sims is one of those game series that doesn't just allow cheating; it invites it. For many fans, tinkering with the game's inner guts is the best part of playing. The Sims 4 is no different. But it's also very new. So let's walk through the game's earliest secrets.
First off: here's how you cheat.There are two main ways to cheat in The Sims 4, one being a tad more complicated than the other. If you're just trying to use one of the official "approved" cheats to, say, give yourself a ton of money, then all you need to do is press CTRL-SHIFT-C. Once you enter that combo on your keyboard, a text window will pop up on the top left side of the screen. For other cheats, however, you must first enter the phrase "testingcheats true" into the text window that you opened using CTRL-SHIFT-C, then continue with your cheat code of choice. This also lets you execute other cheat codes that require you to use the mouse to shift-click on a specific object. In general, I like to set "testingcheats" to "true" if I'm using cheats and then keep it that way for the rest of the time I'm playing The Sims. Keep in mind that the game will automatically set it back to "testingcheats false" when you travel to a different lot, however. A good rule of thumb is just to re-enable cheats after you see a loading screen. A few other things to keep in mind:
G/O Media may get a commission A gift for literally everybody. If you want to change specific Sims.See this guy, eating cereal alone in his sad little kitchen in the middle of the night? This is a Sim named Zander I mostly made to test out Sims 4 stuff in the Kotaku office. I know: I feel bad for him already! But wait a few minutes and suddenly this is Zander: Getting married to a Sim I just dropped into the world moment's before. Love at first sight? If that's what you consider spawning a random Sim in your household and then artificially juking their relationship ratings, then...sure, why not? The point here is: if you're not the kind of person who wants to sit around and wait for your Sims to progress at the game's normal pace, there are a number of easy ways to open up a given Sim's hood and fiddle with what's inside. Here are the best I've come across:
Ok, you might be wondering. But what about adding that other Sim so Zander can get hitched in a matter of minutes? Well, that reminds me... If you want to add more stuff.Building the estate from Downton Abbey might be easy in the abstract given how impressive The Sims 4's building tools are. But all those rugs and tchotchkes don't come for free. Well, unless you cheat. Here are a few easy ways to get drop stuff into the game without having to keep as close an eye on how many Simoleons you have left:
If you just want to mess around.Remember those giant toilets that started to appear shortly after The Sims 4 launched? Well, there's more where that came from if you're the type of Sims player who likes to poke and prod your game and its inhabitants to see what whacky results this tampering will yield:
If you want to try to kill your Sims.This is the one batch I haven't tested personally. But since a) trying to kill Sims is the favorite pastime for many players and b) it's surprisingly hard to do so without using cheats, as Patricia recently discovered, I figured I'd put these out there for others to try. Here are some methods posted on The Sims forums:
These don't automatically kill your Sims, mind you. They just put them in a state in which they're more likely to die. Is it just me, or does this game take a very sharp turn towards the morbid at times? Now: these are just some of the cheats I've tested and found particularly useful. They're not all of the cheats that have been uncovered for The Sims 4 so far. And even then, we're still at the very beginning of the game, so there's no telling what other silliness of virtual lifehacks might surface in the future. In any case, if you're a Sims veteran or someone who's been toying with The Sims 4, please chime in with your own suggestions below and I'll continue to add to this list. How do you find a Sim on Sims 4?Once The Sims 4 loads, click on the Community tab at the top of the screen, in the middle. Make sure that before you type in the search box, look to the far top left of the screen and click ALL. That way, you will be searching all the options, and not just the ones made by Maxis.
How do I find a lost household in Sims 4?Another way to see Households is to click Manage Households (up in the right corner of the map screen to look at your My Household tab, which should automatically be selected, to see what families are in-game and what town they are in. Then go find them in the town they are in and select them to play, if you'd like.
How do you find a sims household?To open the Manage Households menu, open the Map View and find the Manage Households icon on the top right. You can find all of your households in that panel, whether they are Sims you've played before or even Sims you've never played.
How do I get my Sim somewhere?You can also travel via a Sim's cell phone. Open it by clicking it in the bottom-left corner of the Interface, navigate to the second tab (the one with a car icon), then select the Travel… option. Sims can access almost any lot, including others' houses.
