I entered a cheat code, but nothing happened. What could be wrong?

There are several reasons why a cheat code might not work:

• testingcheats true might not be enabled.
• You may have typed the cheat code incorrectly. Double-check the spelling and spacing.
• Some cheats require you to be in a specific game mode (e.g., Build Mode) or screen (e.g., World/Neighborhood Screen).
• The cheat code may be outdated or no longer functional due to game updates.

What’s the difference between Kaching and Rosebud?

There’s absolutely no difference! Both Kaching and Rosebud grant your household 1,000 Simoleons. They are just two different cheat codes that do the same thing.

Can I use cheats to change my Sim’s appearance after creating them?

Yes! Using the cas.fulleditmode cheat, you can re-enter Create-a-Sim (CAS) and edit virtually everything about your Sim, including their appearance, traits, and aspirations. Make sure testingcheats true is enabled first!

How can I use cheats to improve my Sim’s skills?

The stats.set_skill_level Major_[SkillName] [Level] cheat allows you to set your Sim’s skill level to any value between 1 and 10. For example, to set your Sim’s Cooking skill to level 10, you would enter stats.set_skill_level Major_Cooking 10.

Is there a cheat code to make my Sim immortal?

While there isn’t a single cheat code that makes a Sim completely immortal, the death.toggle true code disables death for all Sims in the game, effectively making them unkillable. Turning it off can be done with death.toggle false.

Can I use cheat codes to get a promotion at work?

While there isn’t a direct “get promotion” cheat code, you can use the skill-related cheat codes (stats.set_skill_level Major_[SkillName] [Level]) to quickly max out the skills required for a promotion. This will make it much easier for your Sim to get promoted through normal gameplay.

How can I use cheats to control the weather?

Unfortunately, there is no specific cheat code to control the weather in the base game of The Sims 4 on PS4. Weather control is typically associated with specific expansion packs, like Seasons, which adds weather-related interactions and objects.

How do I add a Sim to my household using cheats?

To add a Sim to your household via cheats, first make sure testingcheats true is enabled. Find the Sim you want to add. Then shift click and choose “Add to Family”.

What is the benefit of using bb.moveobjects on?

This cheat unlocks incredible creativity in Build Mode. It allows you to bypass the usual grid restrictions, enabling you to place objects anywhere, even overlapping them. This is perfect for creating cluttered, realistic-looking spaces and unique designs.

How do I find the hidden objects revealed by bb.showhiddenobjects?

Once you’ve entered bb.showhiddenobjects, search for objects using the “Objects by Function” or “Objects by Room” categories in Build Mode. You can also type “DEBUG” into the search bar to filter for these items. They often have a wrench icon on them, indicating they are debug items.

Can I use cheats to speed up pregnancies?

Yes! You can use the “sims.addbuff buffPregnancyTrimester1″, “sims.addbuff buffPregnancyTrimester2″, and “sims.addbuff buffPregnancyTrimester3″ cheats to advance through the trimesters.
