Sims 4 Cheats: A PS4 Guide to More Fun

Hey guys! Ready to spice up your Sims 4 game on PS4? While the PS4 version doesn't have the same modding capabilities as the PC version, you can still use a ton of cheats to make your Sims' lives way more interesting. Whether you want to become filthy rich, build the house of your dreams instantly, or just mess with your Sims' needs, these cheats have got you covered. Let's dive into how to use them and some of the coolest ones you should definitely try out.

Enabling Cheats on PS4

First things first, you need to know how to actually use these cheats. It's super simple, don't worry! Here’s the lowdown:

  1. Get into the Game: Obviously, fire up your Sims 4 game on your PS4.
  2. Bring Up the Cheat Console: This is where the magic happens. During gameplay, press and hold all four shoulder buttons at the same time: R1, R2, L1, and L2. A little text box will pop up at the top of your screen – that's your cheat console.
  3. Enable Cheats: Type in testingcheats true and hit enter. This is the key that unlocks almost all the cheats in the game. Without it, most of them won't work. You'll get a message saying "Cheats are enabled." If you want to disable them later, just type testingcheats false.

Why is this step important? Because without enabling testingcheats, the game won't recognize most of the cheat codes you enter. Think of it as giving yourself permission to bend the rules a little (or a lot!). This step is essential, so don't skip it!

Now that you've unlocked the cheat console, let's get into the fun stuff: the actual cheats themselves! I’ve organized them into categories to make it easier for you to find exactly what you're looking for. Have fun experimenting and creating your perfect Sims world!

Money Cheats

Let’s be real, who doesn’t want more money in The Sims? Building your dream house or buying all the coolest items can be tough when you're starting out. These money cheats are a total game-changer:

  • rosebud: Gives you 1,000 Simoleons. Perfect for when you just need a little boost.
  • kaching: Gives you 1,000 Simoleons. Another quick grand for your Sims.
  • motherlode: This is the big one – gives you a whopping 50,000 Simoleons! Say goodbye to money worries.
  • Money [amount]: Replace [amount] with any number, and your household will instantly have that exact amount of Simoleons. Want exactly 123,456 Simoleons? Just type Money 123456.

Why are these cheats useful? Well, imagine you're trying to build an elaborate mansion but keep running out of funds. Instead of grinding through Sim jobs, you can use motherlode a few times and get right back to building! Or, if you're trying to test something specific and need a precise amount of money, Money [amount] is your best friend.

Pro Tip: Be careful not to go too crazy with the money cheats, or you might remove all the challenge from the game. But hey, it's your game – play it how you want!
