The possibilities are almost endless in The Sims 4 for how players want their Sims to live. They can experience unique jobs, life events, and relationships while building their Sims’ lifestyles and personalities. Skills are essential for Sim hobbies, jobs, goals, and certain storytelling elements. While Skills can be increased through gameplay in The Sims 4, players can also use cheats and mods to speed up the process. This guide has all the Skill cheats available in every Sims 4 DLC pack.
The Sims 4: Best Cheats To Use In Build Mode
Building the best house is just one objective when players log into Sims, but it can be hard to do that without some of these great cheats.
Updated on May 6, 2024, by Taylor Pittman: Using cheats is a common practice for many Simmers. Cheats can be used for needs, aspirations, simoleons, and skills. Skill cheats come in handy to save time and for story purposes if players want Sims to excel in certain things. The Sims 4 has received new DLC, so this article has been updated to include the corresponding skill cheats that came in those packs.
All Sims 4 Skill Cheats
Increasing Skills is an important aspect of The Sims 4 for many reasons. Sims with high skills sometimes get unique social interactions and have more options for higher-paying jobs. Alternatively, some Skills are related to crafting, so they can make valuable paintings, songs, and books to sell.
Learning Skills takes time and practice if Sims want to max them out. While certain emotions, lot traits, or potions can boost their Skill progression, it can still take several days of nonstop work to increase Skills. Luckily, players have a complete set of cheats dedicated to setting their Skill level.
How to Enable Cheats in The Sims 4
Before inputting cheat codes in The Sims 4, console and PC players must ensure cheats are enabled in their game save. First, open the cheat console by hitting CTRL + SHIFT + C on PC or L1 + L2 + R1 + R2 on consoles. Next, input testingcheats true to enable cheats. Players can then enter cheat codes to change their Skill settings.
Skills are put into a few categories: Major, Minor, Child, and Toddler. Major and Minor Skills can be learned by Teens, Young Adults, Adults, and Elders. Once Children max out their Child Skills, they gain access to certain Major and Minor ones.
Major Skills have ten levels, and Minor and Toddler Skills have five, except for the Potty Skill, which maxes out at level 3. Doing activities and using objects related to the Skills will build them up, but players don’t have to grind it out if they don’t want to with cheats.
Most of the Skill cheat codes follow a formula of stats.set_skill_level (Skill Type)_(Skill Name) X, with X being the desired level, but there are some variations. See below for a complete list of all the Skill cheat codes in Sims 4:
