The Sims 4: New Cheat Codes
How to enter cheats
Cheats in The Sims 4 go into a special line called the "console". To open it, hold Ctrl + Shift + C on your keyboard. On macOS the console opens with Command + Shift + C.

Some cheats only work after you enter the testing cheats code testingcheats true
Most cheats are entered in Live Mode, so don't type them on the start screen — go into your household first.
You do not have to type the cheats by hand. Select a cheat on this page, copy it with Ctrl + C (Command + C), then go into the game, open the console and paste it with Ctrl + V (Command + V).
