The best items are expensive, and friends are challenging to make. Fortunately, you can use cheats to make your simulated life more enjoyable.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>How to Cheat in Sims 4<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Whether you\u2019re playing Sims 4 on PC, PlayStation, or Xbox, you can access the cheat console to insert specific codes for more simoleons or to change gameplay mechanics. There\u2019s also a shift-click mode where you enter \u2018testingcheats true\u2019 and then clock on a character to adjust their behavior or moods.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For now, let&#8217;s look at how to use cheat codes instead.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Step 1: Open the cheat console<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Before you can start using Sims 4 cheats, you need to open the cheat console. This process includes holding specific buttons together on your keyboard or controller. Here\u2019s a list of the relevant keys:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">PC: Ctrl +Shift + C<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Mac: Command + Shift + C<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">PlayStation: R1 + R2 + L1 + L2<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Xbox: LB + LT + RB + RT<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-165057\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2021\/05\/pasted_image_0_25_b93wzj.jpg\" width=\"1600\" height=\"860\"><\/p>\n<h3><b>Step 2: Insert the cheat codes<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">With the cheat console open, the fun begins! There are so many cheat codes available, you can become rich and obtain items within seconds. One common cheat is receiving millions of simoleons, but you can also make all the plots free and move in without paying.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-165058\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2021\/05\/pasted_image_0_26_uggqwd.jpg\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\"><\/p>\n<h3><b>Step 3: Enjoy your cheats<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Once you have entered the relevant code, you\u2019ll instantly receive your rewards. If nothing has happened, there\u2019s a chance that you didn\u2019t insert the cheat code correctly. Remember to also enable cheats by typing \u2018testingcheats true\u2019 first. It permits all forms of cheating in Sims 4, no matter which platform you\u2019re using.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-165059\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2021\/05\/pasted_image_0_27_silixt.jpg\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\"><\/p>\n<h2><b>Shortcut to riches<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Who says life can\u2019t be easy? Well, the simulated life anyway. You don\u2019t need to struggle for months with a new character if you\u2019ve already played the game several times. Plus, it\u2019s a fun way to enjoy new DLC and Stuff Packs that have recently launched.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"sc-card-starred-link\">\r\n  <div class=\"sc-card-starred-link__body\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-starred-link__row clearfix\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-starred-link__col-logo\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-starred-link__img\" src=\"https:\/\/images.sftcdn.net\/images\/t_app-logo-xl,f_auto\/p\/9dd05136-96d6-11e6-8099-00163ed833e7\/2298677053\/the-sims-4-logo.png\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\">\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-starred-link__col-title\">\r\n        <p class=\"sc-card-starred-link__title\">How to Download Custom Content for Sims 4<\/p>\r\n        <a class=\"sc-card-starred-link__button\" href=\"https:\/\/the-sims-4.en.softonic.com\/articles\/how-to-download-custom-content-for-sims-4-in-3-easy-steps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer sponsored\">More tips<\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <a class=\"sc-card-starred-link__link\" href=\"https:\/\/the-sims-4.en.softonic.com\/articles\/how-to-download-custom-content-for-sims-4-in-3-easy-steps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer sponsored\"><\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Playing Sims 4 on Windows and Mac can become a tedious adventure, especially if you\u2019re waiting for your characters to progress in their careers.
