Unlock Everything in The Sims 4: Every Cheat Code for Xbox, PS4, PS5, and PC

Real life is bills and spam calls. The Sims is wish fulfillment with a chaos button. If you want the chaos part without installing mods, here is the big, everything-in-one-place cheat guide for The Sims 4 that works on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox. I’ll show you how to switch cheats on, how the special shift-click stuff works, then drop the full code list across the base game and every expansion. Yes, this is long. Bookmark it. And yep, turning cheats on will disable achievements/trophies for that save, so make a backup first.

How to turn cheats on (so they actually work)

Cheats are save-specific, so you have to enable them per save. After that, type codes into the cheat console.

Warning shot: enabling cheats disables achievements/trophies for that save. Make a duplicate before you go wild.

PC: press Ctrl + Shift + C to open the console, then type "testingCheats true" and hit Enter.

Xbox One/Series X|S: hold LT + RT + LB + RB for a couple of seconds to open the console, then type "testingCheats true".

PS4/PS5: hold L1 + L2 + R1 + R2 to open the console, then type "testingCheats true".

How to use them without breaking your brain

Once cheats are enabled, the standard flow is:

Open your save. Press the console shortcut again. Type the code. Hit Enter/Done. Instant effect.

Interaction Cheats (the clicky ones) are slightly different: they need "testingCheats true", then you do the special click combo on a Sim or object to bring up a custom cheat menu. PC: hold Shift and click. PS4/PS5: hover, hold Circle, press X. Xbox: hover, hold B, press A.

My quick favorites before we dive into the deep end

For a fast cash infusion, "motherlode" drops 50,000 Simoleons. Classics like "kaching" or "rosebud" add 1,000 each. "bb.moveobjects" lets you place anything anywhere (overlaps included). "bb.showhiddenobjects" reveals buyable hidden stuff. "cas.fulleditmode" lets you fully edit Sims in CAS. "sims.fill_all_commodities" fills every need. And the Interaction Cheat "Cheat Need > Make Happy" instantly fixes mood and motives.

A couple of quick notes before you go break reality

Every code here works across PC, PlayStation, and Xbox as long as cheats are enabled. Interaction Cheats require the special click/hold combos I outlined above. Some codes only work if you own the expansion they come from (I called those out where relevant). And if you want to go even further than cheats, mods and custom content can take your game to some truly unhinged places — but if you’re in a no-installs mood, this list will do plenty.
