hello everybody and welcome back to my
channel my name is taylor for those of
you who have never been here before and
today i wanted to talk about some of the
cheats that you have to know if you're a
sims 4 beginner or if you're just you
know forgetting the cheats that you need
to know if you're not a sims 4 beginner
these are just some of my most used
cheats and the most important cheats in
my opinion in the game these are all
things you're going to use all the time
and are just good to like write down or
have in the back of your head at all
times at this point i have them all
memorized so it's like oh i don't need
to write these down i know them all so
it's one of those things where it's like
you'll get there if you're a beginner
but before we jump into all the cheats
you need to know be sure to give this
video a thumbs up and subscribe if you
haven't already i make videos on the
sims every single day but we're just
gonna go ahead and jump right into all
the cheats you need to know so the very
first cheat that a lot of players may
want to know is free real estate this is
going to allow your sims regardless of
how much money they have to buy any
house in the entire world and before we
even jump into that cheat we have to
learn how to open up the cheat dialog
box so it's different depending on what
kind of system you're using so if you're
on console to open up the cheat box
you're going to want to hold down all
four triggers on your controller if
you're on a pc you're going to want to
do ctrl shift c and i believe on a mac
it's command shift c and it's going to
open up that cheat dialog box right
there at the top that you can see up
there so for this free real estate cheat
all you're going to want to do is type
in free
real
estate all one word and then the word on
and then the game should tell you by
just having it say free real estate on
right underneath and as you can see now
the sim has the ability to move to any
lot we can go to a more expensive one
like old mill lane that's a hundred
thousand simoleons and if we were to
move in here they're gonna get to keep
the twenty thousand smallings they have
but get to move there however that house
is too big so we're going to move up to
cordelia's secret cottage even though
she could have afforded it before but
it'll just allow you to keep all of your
money and to move anywhere for free so
now that we are at our lot what you want
to do is enable cheats so with those
same things as before ctrl shift c
command shift c or all four triggers
you're going to want to go ahead and
type in testing cheats true and then hit
enter on your keyboard and the game's
going to let you know that cheats are
enabled this is important to do a lot of
the cheats because a lot of them won't
like unlock or reveal themselves to you
unless you have this on and then to
close that box you're going to want to
do either the exact same thing by
hitting the triggers or ctrl shift c all
of that or you can just hit escape on a
keyboard and it will make it go away so
the other kinds of cheats that are very
important to a lot of players are of
course money cheats these are cheats
that are going to allow you to get
however much money you want or just
increase within certain increments so
the most popular money cheat in the sims
4 is definitely going to be mother lode
and when you press this your sims are
going to get 50 000 simoleons this one's
really popular it's one of the most
known sheets because it's been in the
game for years and you can also just go
ahead and hit the up key and then hit
enter and just keep doing that over and
over again and get a whole bunch of
money she now has 570 000 simoleons
another one that's like this are the
words rosebud or ka-chang these are
going to give you 1 000 simoleons and
you also have the opportunity to do it
that way now the final money cheat that
you should know is actually just being
able to choose exactly how much money
you want your sims to have and what
you're going to do here after cheats are
enabled you're going to go money put a
space and then type in whatever number
you want so that gave her 388
125 simoleons because we typed in 965
965-125
so those are all the money cheats that
you may need to know the next thing
we're going to go into is skill cheats
if at any point throughout this video
you're a little bit confused and you
want to see it out like written out you
can definitely go to the link in the
description there's an entire article
from my website ultimate sims guides
that has all of these cheat codes
written out for you the next type of
cheat codes are the skill cheat codes
this is gonna allow you to max out any
skill or get your sim to like levels one
through ten if it's a major skill or one
through five if it's a minor skill and
those will be denoted on the website so
what you're going to do is open up that
cheat box and the skill is stats dot set
underscore skill underscore level these
ones are kind of long and then depending
on the different type of skill the last
part will change so let's say your sim
is in the actor career and you want them
to get the acting skill you're going to
go major underscore acting and then if
you type in any number at the end from 1
to 10 they'll get that level of the
skill so if you give them 10 phoebe's
just mastered the acting skill she's
never acted a day in her life
you can do that for all sorts of skills
but some of them are a little bit
different because there are some skills
like dancing that only go up to five so
it would be minor underscore dancing and
then five to max it out it really
depends on the different types of skills
so you wanna go over to that article to
get the exact thing you type in for each
skill because for example the
fabrication skill from eco lifestyle at
the end is adult major underscore
fabrication 10 instead of just major
underscore facts so they're a little bit
complicated but you can definitely check
that out all of these cheats also exist
for all of the child skills because
those are different and all of the
toddler skills as well the next type of
cheat i want to talk about is career
cheats these allow you to actually get
promoted in whatever career your sim is
in
which can be very helpful or you can
also get your sims demoted these also
work for the freelancer career if you
want to just give your sims like a
little bit of a bonus so they know or
just earn a little bit more money pretty
useful honestly very useful especially
if you're trying to establish a family
and like you don't want them to start
off in level one of a different career
so you can just cheat it and get them to
whatever level you want so i'm just
gonna put her in something very simple
like the business career so right now
she's a mailroom technician she's at
level 1 of the career so what we're
going to want to do is open up that
cheat box type in careers.promote
and then a space and then the word
business
and there you go she got a promotion she
is now an office assistant earning 20
simoleons per hour now you can go ahead
and just use that up key and hit enter
get them all the way to the top to the
point where they can select a branch and
then honestly just keep going you know
why not get them fully promoted we're
now an angel investor level 10 and every
time you do this once you hit level 10
as you can see it says angel investor
plus one there at the bottom you can see
that that means that she's actually
earning a lot more money per hour
because you do get a little bit of a
boost once you pass 10 so it's just like
a maxed out career and that is a very
useful cheat to know there are also
cheats like this for the part-time
careers after-school activities and for
students in school so you can check that
out in the article in the description
down below the next couple things i want
to discuss are some build sheets that
are very very useful so what you want to
do first before you ever build any house
in the sims 4 is make sure that you have
move objects enabled so this cheat move
objects the most important one is
bb.move
objects you can hit that you can add on
at the end after a space that doesn't
really matter if you just type in
bb.move objects it will turn on and the
game will let you know that it is on and
then this allows you anytime that you
are in the game to actually have items
not just on this grid system where you
can actually just like let them live
together obviously i don't know why
you'd want to do that it's going to clip
a lot it's going to be a little bit
weird but this is really useful for
things like decorating if you were to go
over and want to add a plant like really
close to this plant with bb.move objects
not turned on so let's turn it back off
just so i can show you how it works
so if you don't have this turned on and
you want to put something here it's not
going to work even like little stuff
it's not going to allow you to put
anything else on that grid not going to
allow you to have anybody in there with
that plant but if you go bb dot move
objects and turn it on then you can have
stuff right here in with it just it
allows for houses to feel more cluttered
and allows you to do a lot more with
your game now when you have this enabled
you also have the ability to alt place
things so if you pick something up like
this carefree succulent and you hold
down alt on your keyboard it allows you
to just freely place stuff anywhere you
want and you can also 360 turn it which
is really really useful so you can get
stuff like super close together if you
all place it and have it look like those
two are just like two little best friend
plants who want to live the rest of
their lives together
and that's super duper helpful something
else you may not know about that you
might want to use is the ability to size
up or size down objects you want to use
the
square bracket keys the right one to
size things up and the left one to size
things down you can make them like super
tiny and stuff like this you could have
like a whole little succulent collection
and i think that's really adorable now
there are a couple cheats for objects in
the game so there are a bunch of objects
that are like locked behind different
things which is kind of annoying
honestly not gonna lie to you so for
example this rustic dream bed you have
to unlock it by reaching level 10 of the
painting career will on the patron of
the arts branch if you want to use this
bed that's annoying but there is a cheat
for it which is vb.ignore gameplay
unlocks entitlement you hit enter on
that it'll let you know that the ignore
gameplay unlocks cheat is on
and then if you go back to the bed
section you do have to kind of like go
out and reload into it but that bed will
be unlocked as you can see here we can
now place that bed wherever we want
i don't know why you put that bed in
your
living room but you know if you want a
very beautiful bed it's an option the
next type of cheats i want to talk about
is needs cheats so sometimes if your
sims are like being a little bit much
and their needs are really low so let's
say that this sim just is starving to
death even though she's not
so you can go over to your mailbox and
with testing cheats on you can actually
hold down shift and click on your
mailbox and go to alter needs this
allows you to fill the needs of everyone
in the household or fill the needs of
everyone in the world and you can also
enable or disable the decay of the needs
so you can actually have it where you
like fill the needs of your household
and then everything's going to go
straight to green and then you can
actually just
disable your household needs decay and
you won't have to take care of them at
all and you can just go ahead and have
fun instead of having to worry about how
they're feeling which makes the game a
lot easier i would say so that is an
option to keep your sims happier the
next type of cheat that you need to know
is a relationship cheats you actually
have the option if you know a sim to be
able to modify their relationship so as
you can see phoebe didn't have the great
first impression with derek and ian that
she may have wanted to have because she
ignored the welcome wagon so what you're
going to do is you're going to open up
that cheat box you're going to type in
modify relationship with a space and
then you want to type in both sims names
so this sim here her name is phoebe
donald
eb
donald okay let's make sure we spell
that right you have to i did not spell
that right okay you have to make sure
that it's spelt correctly and then you
put a space in between then you put
another space and you put the other sims
name so we're gonna go with derrick
mcmillan
mcmillan did i spell that right probably
not
oh i did look at me
and then you're gonna do a space and the
next number is how many points you want
to get or take away so your relationship
panel is on a hundred point thing from
zero to a hundred or zero to negative
one hundred obviously negative would be
like they despise each other and a
hundred would be they have a perfect
relationship so we'll just make them
like bffs
and then what you want to do is ltr
underscore friendship underscore main
and hit enter and she got a hundred
points so she started off with a little
bit of a negative so it just adds points
it's not going to give you that like 100
friendship but it's gonna add enough
points to the point where they're like
pretty good friends you also have the
ability to take points away and also do
this for
romantic relationships which if you
check out that link i know i'm saying
there's a lot of you check out the link
in the description down below and you go
find the relationship section you'll be
able to get that so the next type of
cheat we're going to talk about is
satisfaction points and these are earned
through doing things like whims which
are turned off automatically so you
might not even know they exist but those
are these things here so she wants to
hug somebody she wants to go on a
vacation to granite falls all of these
things are going to give your sims a
couple satisfaction points you also get
them through doing aspirations so if she
were to work out for a total of eight
hours she's going to get some
satisfaction points these are nice
because you can use them to buy anything
in this rewards store which is pretty
useful especially if you get things like
forever full and never weary the sims
never need to sleep that's incredible
however you do have the option to cheat
satisfaction points as well you can
cheat everything in this game it's
beautiful so with that cheat dialog box
open what you want to do is go ahead and
do sims dot give
underscore satisfaction
underscore points and then however many
you want we're just going to go with a
ridiculous amount so she now has a
hundred thousand and 150 satisfaction
points so we can go ahead and make it so
she never has to sleep again she never
has to eat again she never has to shower
again she can even be brave she won't
get frightened anymore she also doesn't
need anybody and we're going to get a
money tree look at that and she still
has 54 000 satisfaction points left so
you can make it so your sims have a lot
of traits using satisfaction points and
a lot of stuff going on and that's how
you cheat them if you don't feel like
working on them the next sheet that you
need to know is the aspiration milestone
cheat so if i wanted to just kind of
skip past this whole page of the
aspiration move on to the next one i
would use this exact cheat which is
aspirations
dot complete underscore
current underscore milestone and what's
that that's going to do is going to
clear that page give you the
satisfaction points and move you on to
the next one which is very helpful and
the final sheet i want to talk about is
cast full edit mode which is one of the
ones i honestly use way more than i ever
thought i would so if you were to go to
a sim hold down shift and click on them
and go modify in cass what's going to
happen is you're going to be able to
change a lot of things however you can't
change their age you can't change a
couple different things about them and
you can't really like drag their faces
and make them look any different but you
can change their hair their clothes
their makeup all of that however if you
have full edit mode enabled you're able
to go in and just completely change how
they look which is very useful for ugly
townies
this is what i use this the most if my
sim is like becoming friends with
somebody and i'm like i want them to get
married when they're older like they're
little kids now i want them to get
married when they're older but like
you're not cute what you're gonna do is
open up that dialog box go cast dot full
edit mode and then you're able to go
shift click modify and cast and you
should be able to
change everything we can make her an
elder if we feel like she's quite a cute
elder and you can change literally
everything you can go into detail edit
and just completely change the way that
your sims look
incredible
this is one of those things that i use
all the time when i'm using sims because
i just don't want them to be married and
be friends with people who aren't cute
there are some really funky looking sims
out in the world so full edit mode comes
in handy but yeah guys those are all of
my must-know most used cheats in the
sims 4. those are the ones that are just
like engraved in my brain and i'm like
oh i need that one oh
so i actually have my own article this
cheats article bookmarked and i just
look at it all the time because i'm like
oh i need that cheat oh i need that
sheet oh i need that one and there's
some of them are really ridiculous like
the relationship cheats i will never
remember like ltr underscore friendship
underscore something i don't know
they're very complicated so be sure to
check out that in the description down
below so that you can get access to all
of the cheats there's also a ton for
each expansion pack there's some for
game packs there's even some for stuff
