Sims 4 Enable Cheats

  2. Type in testingcheats true and hit enter.
  3. A dialogue should come up that says ‘Cheats are enabled’ if cheats were enabled successfully.
  4. To close the cheats console, press the ESC button.

You can also use testingcheats on in place of testingcheats true.

To turn off sims 4 cheats on PC, follow the same process but enter testingcheats off or testingcheats false.

  4. To close the cheats console, hit all four shoulder buttons again.

Sims 4 Cheats Not Working

The first step is to check that your cheats are enabled by using testingcheats on or testingcheats true. Either one works.

The second step is to make sure you’re typing the cheat code in correctly and that there are no spelling errors. I know this sounds obvious, but it happens to the best of us.🤷‍♀️

But if certain cheats still aren’t working for you, then you’ll want to download TwistedMexi’s All Cheats Mod.

After a game patch a few years back, certain cheat codes were “broken.” Most notably, this included breaking nearly all pregnancy cheats.

Once you’ve downloaded the mod, try the cheat code again.
