The Sims 4 has been around for many years, and, while playing the puppet master of a world still resonates with a large community, activating cheats takes the game to another level. With so many options to pay attention to in Sims 4, a little help can go a long way, especially when that help takes advantage of an exploit or two. Some of the best Sims 4 cheats that players can activate include getting more money, maxing out skills, and even making Sims immortal.
Released in 2014, Sims 4 has kept its player base active with enticing, customizable gameplay and numerous updates to keep the game fresh. One of the more recent updates, launched on November 30, 2021, expands the behavior of the neighbor NPCs that players encounter. The Neighborhood Stories feature allows NPCs that are directly connected to the player to expand and upgrade their own virtual lives. The addition of Neighborhood Stories has been in demand from the community for a long time and will be fully implemented over a few updates.
Several more new updates for Sims 4 appear to be on the way. The new pack appears to be bringing weddings and a celebratory theme to Sims 4. Developers have also teased more fresh foods and kits to bring people together. Between updates, Sims 4 players can keep gameplay fresh by applying cheats. Using cheats in Sims 4 is usually easiest on PC, but console players also have the opportunity to activate cheats if they prefer.
How to Use Sims 4 Cheats on Consoles
Getting cheats to work in Sims 4 depends on which system a player uses. For example, on a PC, a player must press Ctrl + Shift + C, and on a Mac, the buttons are Command + Shift + C. Each time those buttons get pushed, a bar appears in which players can enter a cheat code. The most crucial code players can input is testingcheats true, which opens up another layer of available cheat codes players can use. Once the code is activated, players on PC and Mac can shift-click on almost anything in-game to open some cheat options.
There's no ability to shift-click on consoles, but players can enable cheating in Sims 4 by pushing X + O together on PlayStation and A + B on Xbox consoles. Some valuable cheat codes to get players started on their cheating journey is money X, where the letter X gets replaced with the number of Simoleons players want, death.toggle true, which grants immortality, and FreeRealEstate On, which makes real estate free.
Sims 4 is available for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
