Prestige Perk Cheats in The Sims 4

by

The Prestige system in The Sims 4: Royalty & Legacy adds a sense of long-term achievement to the game. It measures how much influence a family gains over multiple generations. As your family’s Prestige grows, you’ll earn points to unlock powerful benefits that improve your Sims’ skills and abilities in areas like social interaction, mental state, physical fitness, and creativity.

If you play The Sims 4 and want to speed up your family’s progress or quickly create a specific storyline, Prestige Perk cheats give you complete control. Instead of earning influence slowly through gameplay, these cheats let you instantly increase your Prestige and unlock special perks.

First, you need to activate the cheat console. Here’s how: on a PC, press Ctrl + Shift + C. On a Mac, use Command + Shift + C. For PlayStation or Xbox, press all four shoulder buttons simultaneously. Once enabled, you can type in your desired cheat code.

  • testingcheats true

Press Enter to activate advanced cheats. Without this step, perk commands would not work properly.

How To Set Dynasty Prestige

Prestige shows how powerful your family is within the game’s dynasty system. Raising your Prestige gives you Perk Points faster than playing the game normally.

To manually set Prestige, enter:

  • Stats.set_stat rankedstatistic_Dynasty_Prestige X

Choose any number to replace “X”. A higher number means a more powerful and well-known dynasty. The game will instantly recognize this new level of prestige and give you more perk points to use.

This command is really helpful for players who want to start a new game with a strong, established family or experience a detailed history without having to play through it themselves, generation by generation.

How To Add Dynasty Perks

As a big fan of the game, I’ve learned you usually earn perks by collecting Dynasty Perk Points. But, if you’re into that sort of thing, you can also add them directly using special codes. Each perk actually has three different levels, and the higher you go, the better the bonuses you get!

To add a perk, use:

  • traits.equip_trait [TraitName]

Below are the available affinity perk cheats.

Social Affinity Perks

These perks improve charisma-based interactions and relationship gains.

  • traits.equip_trait trait_DynastyPerk_AffinitySocial1
  • traits.equip_trait trait_DynastyPerk_AffinitySocial2
  • traits.equip_trait trait_DynastyPerk_AffinitySocial3

Higher tiers provide greater boosts to social performance and influence.

Physical Affinity Perks

These focus on athletic progression and physical skill development.

  • traits.equip_trait trait_DynastyPerk_AffinityPhysical1
  • traits.equip_trait trait_DynastyPerk_AffinityPhysical2
  • traits.equip_trait trait_DynastyPerk_AffinityPhysical3

Mental Affinity Perks

Mental perks benefit logic-driven and knowledge-based gameplay.

  • traits.equip_trait trait_DynastyPerk_AffinityMental1
  • traits.equip_trait trait_DynastyPerk_AffinityMental2
  • traits.equip_trait trait_DynastyPerk_AffinityMental3

Creative Affinity Perks

Creative perks enhance artistic and imaginative skill paths.

  • traits.equip_trait trait_DynastyPerk_AffinityCreative1
  • traits.equip_trait trait_DynastyPerk_AffinityCreative2
  • traits.equip_trait trait_DynastyPerk_AffinityCreative3

These benefits add to any skill bonuses your Sim already has, so the best perks can help them learn skills much faster. Combining perks from different categories can create Sims who are skilled at almost everything.

How To Remove Dynasty Perks

If you change your mind, perks can be removed with:

  • traits.remove_trait [TraitName]

Just substitute “[TraitName]” with the actual name of the cheat you’re using. This allows you to easily tweak the game’s balance or change the story as you play, even during a saved game.

When To Use Prestige Cheats

Prestige cheats are perfect for players who like to create detailed stories in their games. You can start a new ruler with high Prestige to show they’ve inherited a strong kingdom, or lower it to represent a family that’s lost power and is trying to rebuild. These cheats are also useful for quickly testing how different game features work, or trying out powerful perks that usually take a long time to unlock.

Prestige systems in The Sims 4 are meant to be enjoyed over a long period, with rewards earned gradually. Removing that sense of progress can take away from the core gameplay experience for some players, as that progression is a key part of the fun. However, The Sims 4 is all about letting you play the way you want. If you’re focused on building a family over generations or exploring dynasty features, using cheats to unlock Prestige Perks gives you complete control over how strong your Sims become.
