Tired of your Sim constantly wanting to sleep while you only have 12 simoleons in your account? We get it. The Sims 4 is a sandbox game, and sometimes you just want to build palaces and start romances without worrying about work or electricity bills. This guide contains all the up-to-date cheats: from classic money codes to relationship and career management.

How to Open the Console and Enter Cheat Codes in The Sims 4

To make the magic happen, you need to open the command line (console).

• PC: press CTRL + Shift + C
• MAC: Command + Shift + C
• Consoles: press all four shoulder buttons (triggers) at the same time

If everything is done correctly, you can start using cheat codes in The Sims 4. 

All Cheat Codes in The Sims 4: Full List

Money Cheats in The Sims 4

Why grind at a diner when you can just print money?

• motherlode — the most popular cheat. Instantly adds +50,000 simoleons.
• kaching or rosebud — a modest +1,000 simoleons bonus.
• money {amount} — sets an exact amount. Want exactly one million? Type money 1000000.
• FreeRealEstate on — enter this code in Manage Worlds mode and any house on the map becomes free. Disable it with FreeRealEstate off.

• bb.ignoregameplayunlocksentitlement — unlocks all career rewards (furniture and special rooms) that were previously locked.
• bb.showhiddenobjects — Debug mode. Lets you buy items not available in the regular catalog (toothbrushes, plates, collectibles).
