The Sims 4 players are searching for cheats and mods, and users have been posting helpful tips on how to use a wide range of them.
The main ones have to do with emotion buffs, careers, and skills.
Note that there’s two ways to cheat on The Sims 4. Official cheats only require entering text into the pop-up window after pressing CTRL-SHIFT-C.
The other way is to enter the phrase “Testingcheatstrue” into the text window, then entering the cheat code.
“This also lets you execute other cheat codes that require you to use the mouse to shift-click on a specific object. In general, I like to set ’testingcheats’ to ’true' if I’m using cheats and then keep it that way for the rest of the time I’m playing The Sims,” notes Kotaku.
“Keep in mind that the game will automatically set it back to ’testingcheats false' when you travel to a different lot, however. A good rule of thumb is just to re-enable cheats after you see a loading screen.”
Check out some of the top cheats and mods below.
