The wiki will stick around but is no longer my official cheat page.
I've added new features to make cheats easier to find and understand. More importantly, I've also created an internal process that will let me add new cheats immediately upon availability.

NOTICE: SOME CHEATS BROKEN
Why don't my cheats work anymore?
Because the SimGuru's decided to take some away, deeming them too 'dangerous'. So as of the Seasons patch, you can not use a fair portion of cheats found here.

PC Cheats | Mac Cheats | PS4 Cheats |
The Sims 4 has cheats on Xbox One. Unlike the PC version, you will have to give up earning Achievements and Trophies if you activate cheats.
It's unclear what cheats don't work at this point (The official Sims 4 FAQ said not all cheats work with the console version), but most do.
To activate any cheat in The Sims 4, you'll first need to open the cheat console. To activate it:
- On PC, hold CTRL and Shift, then press C.
- On Mac, hold Command and Shift, then press C.
- On PlayStation 4, hold all four shoulder buttons at once.
- On Xbox One, hold all four shoulder buttons at once.
Once opened, the cheat console will appear as a thin box at the top of the screen. Into that, you can type any of the cheats below or on other pages. To close the cheat console, simply press the same keys or buttons.
Some cheats require you to first this:
(Note that 'true' above can be replaced with the word 'on' as well.)
When TestingCheats is enabled, other cheats can also be toggled. To turn off TestingCheats, type this into the cheat console:
(Note that 'false' can be replaced with 'off.')
Additionally, some cheats require shift-clicking Sims or objects on the PC or Mac. To execute a shift-click on consoles, hold Circle and press X (on PlayStation 4) or hold B and press A (on Xbox One).
Get Money Fast[edit]
While motherlode and rosebud are beloved cheats, an easier way to get your sims the Simoleons they need is by typing 'Money X' with X being the amount you want to give your household. You can also use this to subtract funds from your household.
- Money # - Set your household's Simoleons to a specific amount
- motherlode - 50,000 Simoleons
- kaching/rosebud - 1,000 Simoleons
How to Unlock Sugar Skulls and Other Seasonal Event Items[edit]
The Sims 4 official FAQ says that seasonal events with the NPC Jessica Holiday aren't currently planned for The Sims 4 on console, but items from past events (like Sugar Skulls, Holiday Cracker Plushies, Decorative Eggs, and Magic Beans) are still in the game. You can get them using cheats.
With cheats on, make sure you're in Live Mode and open the cheat box. Enter 'bb.showhiddenobjects' and submit it. Then, enter Build Mode.
In the Objects by Function menu select the Decorations tab. Go to the Misc decorations, scroll through all the new items, and you'll find Sugar Skulls and the other event collectibles. Buy them, drop them in the world, and have your Sims put the items in their inventory to have them add it to their 'Household Collections.'
Console Cheats[edit]
Activating cheats does disable Achievements and Trophies. But if you're okay with that, here are a ton of cheats for The Sims 4:
Build Mode Cheats[edit]
With testingcheats true enabled, you can enter the following codes from the console for the corresponding effects in Build Mode.

MoveObjects[edit]
The MoveObjects (or Move_Objects) cheat is a classic from the Sims franchise, and it returns in The Sims 4. To activate it, you must first open the cheat console. Into the box, type the following line including punctuation:
The coding serves as a toggle, so if you need to turn it off, simply re-enter the code. You can close the cheat console by pressing the same combination of keys or buttons as you did to open it.
MoveObjects used to be used in the Sims franchise to shift household objects when Sims were stuck. The cheat is no longer necessary for this; even without cheats or mods, you can move objects at any time even if a Sim is interacting with them, and the Sim will terminate their actions and reset themselves to a nearby tile.
However, MoveObjects in Sims 4 has additional features. With the cheat enabled, objects can be moved vertically or onto surfaces they should not be able to be placed. You can place tables onto beds, or toilets onto pools! Note that when used this way, Sims often cannot use the object in question; they wouldn’t be able to physically reach it to trigger the object's animation scripts. The cheat can be used instead to design houses in unique ways.
