The Sims 4 – Cheats Codes Guide

The newest game in the most popular simulation series to date has several features that are similar to previous entries. For example, in The Sims 4, you can open up a cheat console and type in cheats to give yourself (and your Sims) a boost. You need to know some of the more common cheats so you can mess around with your Sims world in any way you want.

Opening the Cheat Console

Before you can type in a cheat, you need to open the cheat console. To open up the cheat console, while you are playing the game, hold down these three keys simultaneously – CTRL, SHIFT, and C.  This will bring up a box that you can type in. Enter the code into this box to apply it to the game.
