The Sims 4 Cheats for All Expansion Packs

If the previous games in The Sims series are any indication, we’ve got a long way to go before EA is done adding expansion packs to The Sims 4. Which, of course, means more cheats!

This cheat guide goes over all of the explicitly expansion-exclusive cheats for The Sims 4, from perks for businesses and how to get maxed out retail employees, to how to bump a Sim up to the most powerful Grand Master Vampire out there.

Traits and skills from each expansion are not included here. Instead, they are found in our TS4 skills, traits, and career cheats guide. You can also find how to kill and revive your Sims that have died from expansion-exclusive features in our The Sims 4 general cheats guide.

the links below will take you to specific sections of this guide. 

• The Sims 4 Get to Work cheats
• The Sims 4 Parenthood cheats
• The Sims 4 Island Living cheats
• The Sims 4 Dine Out cheats
• The Sims 4 Cats & Dogs cheats
• The Sims 4 Vampires cheats

How to Use Cheats in The Sims 4

There is one thing you must do before using any cheat in The Sims 4, and that is to enable cheats in the first place. This is done by:

1. Pressing the Ctrl, Shift, and C keys simultaneously
2. Typing testingcheats true in the prompt
3. Hit enter

Once you do this, you can enter as many cheats as you like. You will have to enter it each time you relaunch the game and want to use cheats.

The Sims 4 Get to Work Cheats

Make sure you use testingcheats true before trying to input other cheats.

TS4 Get to Work Employee Skill Cheats

Using these cheats is a little different from the rest. You must create a new Sim and place them in the neighborhood, then use one or all of the cheats below with the Sim selected. Once you do that, go back to your household and hire the Sim for your store.

Replace the X in the cheats below with a number from one to five, with five maxing out the stat.

TS4 Get to Work Perk Cheats

These cheats only work if you own a retail store and have at least one item for sale. Inputting one of these cheats adds the perk to every Sim within the active household.

The Sims 4 Parenthood Cheats

These cheats can be used both ways: to either reduce or increase a Sim’s values in these fields.

Replace the X in the cheats below with a value from -100 to 100, with negatives to reduce and positives to increase.

Make sure you use testingcheats true before trying to input other cheats.

The Sims 4 Island Living Cheats

Make sure you use testingcheats true before trying to input other cheats.

The Sims 4 Dine Out Cheats

These cheats unlock various Dine Out perks, but only work if you own a restaurant already. Inputting one of these cheats adds the perk to every Sim within the active household.

Make sure you use testingcheats true before trying to input other cheats.

The Sims 4 Cats and Dogs Cheats

Make sure you use testingcheats true before trying to input other cheats.

TS4 Vet Clinic Perk Cheats

The Sims 4 Vampires Cheats

There are a lot of cheats for TS4 Vampires, but before we get to the nitty-gritty let’s go over the basic cheats to turn a Sim into a vampire and back.

• traits.equip_trait trait_OccultVampire – Turns your Sim into a vampire
• stats.set_stat commodity_BecomingVampire 2160 – Transitions your Sim into a vampire over a number of days
• traits.remove_trait trait_OccultVampire – Turns a vampire Sim back to normal

Make sure you use testingcheats true before trying to input other cheats.

TS4 Vampires Rank Cheats

Vampires have more powers available to them as they increase in rank. You’ll need these cheats if you want to give your vampire Sim some powers to start.

These cheats give specific amounts of XP to rank your Sim up from the bottom.

TS4 Vampire Powers Cheats

You must be of sufficient vampire rank to apply these cheats to a Sim, so be sure to look at the section above and input one of those cheats to get these working.

Unlike most cheats, you can’t just have a Sim selected to make these work. You need to get its Sim ID. This is done by inputting sims.get_sim_id_by_name [Sim name] with the Sim’s name.

You cannot obtain powers that clash with your Sim’s vampire weaknesses, even with cheats. But you can cheat to remove your weaknesses. Here are two extra cheats in case you need them, and the list below of power cheats:

• bucks.lock_all_perks_for_bucks_type 40961 [Sim ID] true – Resets a Sim’s vampire powers and weaknesses.
• bucks.lock_all_perks_for_bucks_type 40962 [Sim ID] true – Removes a Sim’s vampire weaknesses.
