How to Turn On Sims 4 Cheats
To enter a cheat code, you must first turn on the Testing Cheats mode. On PC you do this by pressing Control + Shift + C. On Xbox or PlayStation, you do this by pressing all four shoulder buttons – both the bumpers and triggers.
Once you’ve done this, you need to type in “testingcheats on” and hit enter.

What Does Testing Cheats Enable?
Not all cheats have to be entered into the debug mode. Turning on testing cheats will give you the ability to Shift-Click (X+O or A+B on console) various items in the game world.
Shift-Clicking the mailbox lets you modify the entire neighborhood’s needs including starting or stopping them. Shift-Clicking a Sim lets you modify them in Create-A-Sim, giving you a chance to alter them. Here you can also edit individual need decay and happiness. Shift-Clicking the ground lets you teleport the selected character anywhere. Good for moments when your Sim gets stuck somewhere in the world. Shift-Clicking objects lets you clean (or dirty) objects or reset them. You’re also able to shrink or enlarge objects in the world. For that one time when you need a house-sized toilet. Shift + ] makes things bigger, Shift + [ makes them smaller.
And that’s it for now! If more super-useful Sims 4 cheats are added as part of any expansions or game packs, we’ll be sure to update this list with them!
