The Sims 4 is a game that has a great list of cheats, and modifying the skills comes in very handy. There are several skills that define each Sim's abilities, and as new expansions have been released, more skills have been added to the repertoire. If you are looking for a complete list of skill cheats for The Sims 4, welcome to this article!
Before trying any of the tricks in this guide, keep the following points in mind:
- Save your game first, as cheats can cause some unwanted errors.
- Open the command console by pressing CTRL + SHIFT + C and enable testingcheats true. You may need to do this process each time you want to activate a cheat from the list.
- The codes are sensitive to uppercase, lowercase and spaces. Make sure you write them right!
- The numbers that we indicate at the end of each code corresponding to the maximum value that can be assigned to the skill. For example, if you see a 10, it means you can change the value from 1 to 10.
With that being said, now you know what all the skill cheats are!
