The Sims 4 is the fourth installment of the popular saga of simulation games. A new installment called to conquer the market, as it will happen with the previous ones. Possibly many of you already play or are thinking of buying the game. In order to get the most out of it, there are always some tricks that can be very helpful in this regard.
A series of tricks that we will talk about below. Since we leave you with the best tricks we can use in Sims 4. Thus, you will be able to play better and discover some functions that are not normally so well known to most users. Ready to meet them?
Enable cheats in Sims 4
While we have many cheats available in Sims 4, in order to use them, first we have to activate the cheat console in the game. Fortunately, the way to achieve this is very simple. You have to use the Crtl + Shift + C keys so that the console will be activated at all times. Although every time we want to use it we will have to use this combination. If you prefer to have it activated all the time, you just have to enter testingcheats on as code in the game and that's it.
Money tricks
There are a number of available tricks with which to earn money simply in the game. There are also some with which to buy houses or even pay the bills, without us having to do something for it. A good way to avoid many of the most important expenses that we find in Sims 4.
If what we want is to win money in the game, we have three options available, which allow us to win Simoleons, the currency in the game. The three options we can use are:
- Motherlode: You win 50,000 Simoleons
- caching: Obtain 1000 Simoleons
- rosebud: You earn 1000 Simoleons
On the other hand, in Sims 4 we find a few additional tricks related to money. Thanks to them we can buy houses or pay bills, as we mentioned before. These tricks are as follows:
- money [number]: Modify your money by the amount you enter in this case (100.000 for example)
- freerealestate [on / off]: It allows you to buy houses for free, although you have to use it first from the map, before buying a house
- sims.modify_funds [number]: Serves to add or subtract the amount you mention
- households.autopay_bills [true / false]>: Invoices are paid automatically
Modify needs
There may be times when we want to modify or alter the needs of our character. This is something we can do as long as we have the cheat option constantly activated. Once we have this, we have to hold down the Shift key and click on our Sim. By doing this we have several options within Modify needs.
- To make happy: Maximize your happiness
- Disable drop in needs: All needs are blocked
- Activate decrease in needs: Activate or deactivate the previous option
On the other hand, we also have the possibility of toggling the needs in Sims 4. To do this, we will have to use the Shift key again, held down all the time and click, but in this case we have to click on the home. When we do this, we get several options within the category alter needs:
- Fill needs (household): Increase the needs of the sims in said house to the maximum
- Deactivate decrease in requirements (household): Prevent the needs from going down
- Activate decrease in needs (household): Activate the need decrease for the sims at home
We have both options for the domestic unit, the house in particular, and the global option. If we use this global option, then the action we carry out affects all characters that is in Sims 4. But there may be times when we find it interesting to use it, especially if it is positive.
Profession tricks
If you want to give your sim a profession, it is something we can do. There is a trick for it, which also allows us to choose the profession that we are going to give him. We have a series of professions to choose from in the game, so that each user can choose the one they consider most appropriate in that case.
To give you a profession, we have to use this trick careers.add_career [profession] where we will have to enter the profession between these parentheses. In Sims 4 we find various professions to give him, which are:
- Entertainer (entertainment)
- Painter (painter)
- Athletic (athlete)
- Business (business man)
- Secret Agent
- Writer (writer)
- Culinary (cook)
- criminal (criminal)
- Astronaut (astronaut)
- Tech Guru (technology guru)
- Barista (Cafeteria Employee) - Teen Only
- Babysitter (babysitter) - for teens only
- Teen_Retail (vendor) - For teens only
- Manual (waiter): for teens only
- FastFood (Fast Food Clerk) - Teen Only
Therefore, we choose one of these professions for our sim, depending on your situation. So we can have a good profession for our character in the game, which will allow us to have fun or explore this universe in this way.
Navigation / game tricks
Finally, we meet some tricks that can help us move better in Sims 4. Designed above all for better control of game functions, or that some processes and actions will be somewhat faster at all times. So they can be a good help for many users. This is the list of commands that we have to use to activate them:
- Fps [on / off]: show FPS
- Help: Displays console commands on screen
- fullscreen: Full screen game
- headlineeffects [on / off]: Turn off the icons above their heads
- Hold shift and press the keys: Or? to enlarge or shrink an object (only in construction mode)

- bb.enablefreebuild: Lets build where we want in Sims 4
- bb.ignoregameplayunlocksentitlement: Eliminate the construction requirements that some objects have
Also if we need to carry out some actions in our sim, we can use certain commands, which will be helpful in this regard. The ones we can use today are:
- resetsim [first] [last]: Reset a sim
- death.toggle [true / false]: Deactivate his death
