The Sims 4: All Skill Cheats

In The Sims 4, you have complete freedom to create the lives your Sims will lead. You can guide them through careers, important life moments, and relationships, shaping their personalities and lifestyles however you choose.

Skills are important for Sims to succeed in their hobbies, careers, and achieve their goals, and they also play a role in storytelling. You can improve a Sim’s skills by playing the game, but you can also use cheats in The Sims 4 to make the process faster. This guide lists all the skill cheats available in each expansion pack.

All Sims 4 Skill Cheats

Okay, so leveling up skills in The Sims 4 is a big deal. It’s not just about checking boxes, honestly. When my Sims get good at stuff, they unlock cool new ways to interact with others, and way better job opportunities. Plus, a lot of skills let you make things – like paintings, songs, or books – that you can sell for simoleons. It’s a great way to earn extra cash and really boost your Sims’ lives!

Improving skills in the game takes time and effort. While things like a Sim’s mood, personality traits, or special potions can speed things up, it usually takes days of consistent practice to master a skill. Fortunately, there are cheats available that let players instantly set their Sim’s skill levels.

How to Enable Cheats in The Sims 4

Before you can use cheat codes in The Sims 4, you need to make sure cheats are turned on in your game. On PC, press Ctrl + Shift + C to open the cheat console. On PlayStation, use L1 + L2 + R1 + R2, and on Xbox, it’s LB + LT + RB + RT. Once the console is open, type either “testingcheats true” or “testingcheats on” and press Enter. This will unlock the ability to use cheats, allowing you to modify things like your Sims’ skills.

Skills are separated into a few categories:

  • Major
  • Minor
  • Child
  • Toddler

Teens, young adults, adults, and elders can all learn Major and Minor Skills. Once a child fully develops their Child Skills, they unlock the ability to start learning these more advanced skills.

Skills in the game have different levels: Major Skills go up to level 10, while Minor and Toddler Skills reach level 5. The Potty Skill for toddlers is an exception, maxing out at level 3. You can improve skills by doing related activities and using objects, but it’s not required to level them up if you prefer not to. This video shows you how to use cheats to quickly max out Major, Horse, Child, and Toddler skills in The Sims 4.

Most cheat codes for skills in The Sims 4 follow a pattern: stats.set_skill_level (Skill Type)_(Skill Name) X, where ‘X’ is the level you want. However, there are a few exceptions. Here’s a complete list of all skill cheats for the game.
