How to enable cheats in The Sims 4

Before you use cheats, you’ll need to enable them in the game first. It’s fairly straightforward and essential to using Sims 4 skill cheats as nothing will work until you do this step. Here’s how to do it: 

  • The Sims 4 PC cheats: Hold Ctrl and Shift, then press c
  • The Sims 4 Mac cheats: Hold Command and Shift, then press c
  • The Sims 4 PS4 and PS5 cheats: Hold down all four shoulder buttons at once
  • The Sims 4 Xbox One and Xbox Series X cheats: Hold down all four shoulder buttons at once

That should give you a text box where you can then enter in all the cheats you want.

Here are all the Sims 4 skill cheats you’ll need to max out a skill for your Sim. If any skill is missing from this list, try and swap it into the existing formula and see if the cheat will work for you! There are even some child and toddler skill cheats you can use to make your kids more social, creative, or smart. 

Most skills have a max level of 10, but not all of the skills in the game. Wherever the max number is less than 10, we’ll let you know what that max number is next to the skill. Also, some of these skills are specific to a Sims 4 Expansion Pack, so if you don’t have access to snowboarding in the Snowy Escape Expansion Pack, the max snowboarding skill cheat wont’t do anything for you. 

Type the following into your cheat box and then slot in any of the skills listed below:

stats.set_skill_level [Skill Name] X – replace X with 1-10 (10 = max) to set your Sim’s skill level, and swap [Skill Name] for any of the following skills
