Sims 4 cheats: how to enable cheats for PC
Words by Ollie Toms and Dave Irwin
To enable The Sims 4 cheats on PC, simply open up a Sims 4 game, and pick the right option below depending on your hardware:
- Windows users: hit CTRL + SHIFT + C.
- Mac users: hit CMD + SHIFT + C.
This will open up the Sims 4 console, which you can use to enter any of the cheats below. Once you've finished inputting your desired cheat codes, simply hit the same combination of keys again to close the console.
Money cheats
If you just want a quick injection of cash, you can just enter the simpler two codes for 1000 and 50,000 Simoleons respectively.
However, if you want to specify exactly how much money you want to add or remove, there are two other cheats that give you that option.
But in order to enable these cheats, you first have to open up the console and type:
testingcheats true
Then hit Enter and close the console. Now you can access all of the cheats in The Sims 4. Hurray! Just open the console and enter one of these cheats:
- Adds 1000 Simoleons: Rosebud or Kaching
- Adds 50,000 Simoleons: motherlode
- Add an amount of Simoleons: sims.modify_funds +[amount]
- Subtract an amount of Simoleons: sims.modify_funds -[amount]

Make Happy cheat, Teleport sims cheat (How to enable "Shift-Click" cheats)
Some cheats in The Sims 4 require you to shift-click on a sim or object in order to use them.
Enter "testingcheats true" and then when the testing cheats are active, hold the shift key and left click on a sim or an object to bring up the cheat menu.

Sims 4 cheats - relationship codes
To type in the relationship codes, you need to indicate two sims first and last names, then give a value for how much you would to improve or deteriorate the two sim's relationship. The highest relationship value is +100 and the lowest relationship value is -100. Here is the code you will need to enter:
modifyrelationship [YOUR SIM FIRST NAME][YOUR SIM LAST NAME][TARGET SIM FIRST NAME][TARGET SIM LAST NAME] +# LTR_Friendship_Main
As an example, let's make Malcolm Landgraab's relationship with Bella Goth go up by 50 points:
modifyrelationship Malcolm Landgraab Bella Goth +50 LTR_Friendship_Main
The below table contains all relationship codes you can use with the "modifyrelationship" command.
| Code | Function |
|---|---|
| LTR_Friendship_Main | Friendship |
| LTR_Romance_Main | Relationship |
And there you have it! Every single Sims 4 cheat at your fingertips. Whether your intention is to create a paradise for your sims or a hellish life of suffering and torment (again, to each their own), you can now do exactly that.
