The Sims 4 Cheats: Code List & How to Activate Them

Intro

In this article we will define what cheats are and then provide a complete and detailed list of all the ones available on The Sims 4 for the various consoles.

That of The Sims is one of the most celebrated EA Electronic Arts sagas ever, with many fans around the world. For those unfamiliar with this title, its distinguishing feature is the ability to take the reins of a virtual “Sim’s” life, outlining his or her personality, character and physical features, work predispositions etc.

In addition, we will enjoy forming a real network of virtual relationships with the various Sims we can meet in the game experience, forming friendships, loves and dislikes. In Synthesis, very large space is devoted to the customization of the Sim and his life in the round.

An interesting new feature of The Sims 4 compared to previous editions is that Sims have feelings, made visible in the game as “mood states.” Influencing them are the surrounding Sims, the memories of one’s Sim, the various events that take place during the course of the game, the furniture and even the clothes we make our Sim wear. Thus, the dynamics of the game will be strongly influenced by the gamer’s choices.

The fourth chapter, which we are dealing with today and released globally on November 17, 2017, has long been available for almost all consoles, specifically for Microsoft Windows PC, macOS, Xbox One and Series X/S, Playstation 4 and 5.

Cheats have always been widely used on The Sims. These allow us to indulge in a myriad of ways while enhancing the gaming experience, which might otherwise be repetitive after a considerable number of hours of play. In fact, while thanks to tricks we can facilitate gameplay, for example by obtaining simoleons in an instant, we can also venture into true alternative game experiences that would not be experienced without the use of these special codes.

The Sims 4 cheats: what they are and how to activate them.

Cheats are nothing more than text commands that you execute in a particular environment of the game, which is the terminal (also called the “CheatConsole” or “Cheat Bar“).

In order to enter this environment of the game and activate a trick, you will simply need to press the following key combinations simultaneously depending on the console you are using: for PC the sequence is CTRL + SHIFT + C; for Playstation the sequence is L1 + L2 + R1 + R2; for Xbox the sequence is LT + LB + RT + RB. Once this is done, a white bar will appear at the top left of the screen. Within this you will simply type in the trick you want and press enter.

If you want to find out what the skill tricks, career tricks, relationship and family tricks, money tricks, mood state tricks, ghost tricks, vampire tricks, werewolf tricks, build mode tricks, death tricks, reputation tricks and jungle tricks just continue reading. In fact, the list of such tricks and how to make them work will be found below.

First, however, let us open a brief parenthesis to come to your aid in case you are unable to use the tricks. In case the makeup does not work, the causes may be various, but the main ones are:

-Mistakenly inserted makeup: you need to make sure that spaces, underscores, and punctuation have been respected. In the case of PC use, the advice is to directly copy and paste the trick that will be provided in this guide.

-No trick required: some tricks work only upon entering the trick “TestingCheats” followed by {true/false} to enable or disable the command, e.g., “testingcheats true.” Before proceeding, it is therefore necessary to ensure that it has been inserted.

-The trick does not exist in the game version owned: Some tricks were inserted after the various updates came out, so it is possible that if you do not have the latest version, the trick you are trying to insert will not work because it was introduced with an update after the game version you are using.
