How to enter cheats in The Sims 4

How you enter cheats varies depending on the platform you play The Sims 4 on. It’s also important to remember that while every cheat works on the PC and Mac versions of The Sims 4, the same cannot be said for the console versions. This means there is a chance that the code you want to use on, for example, PlayStation 5 simply does not work.

Using cheats on a console version of The Sims 4 will do that too disable achievements and trophies for that save. You can still earn achievements and trophies from save files that don’t use a cheat, but it’s still a good idea to think before cheating on console.

Finally, no matter what platform you play the game on, you may need to log in test cheats true before entering other cheats. Once you’ve done this successfully, you’ll receive a “Cheats Enabled” notification and you can then start shaping the world of The Sims 4 to your liking. This isn’t required for every The Sims 4 cheat, but it’s worth doing if you plan on using a cheat to buy yourself time.
