As any long time Sims player will tell you, there are many ways to cheat. Rather than being hidden bugs or just leftover code, cheats in the Sims 4 are very much welcomed by the game devs! In fact, they often use these cheats for testing, and release them to the player base at large.
Here are a few tables worth of cheats. If you’re having trouble, or can’t find a specific one on this list, don’t worry! Be sure to check out the official website for help!
To input cheats, just follow these guides!
PC Press Ctrl, Shift, and C at the same time.
Mac cheats: Press Ctrl, Shift, and C at the same time.
PS4 cheats: Press down all four shoulder buttons at the same time.
Xbox One cheats: Hold down all four shoulder buttons at once.
