Nov 8, 2025 by Admin 52 views

Hey guys! Are you ready to take your Sims 4 game on PS4 to the next level? We all love playing the Sims, but sometimes, let's be honest, we want to fast-track our progress, build that dream house instantly, or maybe just cause a little bit of hilarious chaos. That's where cheats come in! This guide is your ultimate resource for unlocking all the Sims 4 cheats on your PS4, making your gameplay experience even more fun and customizable. We're going to dive deep into how to use these cheats, what they can do, and some tips to make sure you're getting the most out of them. So, grab your controller, and let's get started!

Enabling Cheats in Sims 4 on PS4

Before we get to the juicy cheat codes, you need to know how to activate them. It's super easy, but this step is crucial. If you don't enable cheats properly, none of the codes will work, and we don't want that, do we? So, let's break it down step by step.

Enter the Cheat Console: While you're in the game, press and hold L1 + R1 + L2 + R2 all at the same time. This will bring up a little white box at the top of your screen – that's the cheat console. This is where all the magic happens, guys!
Enable Cheats: Now, type in testingcheats true and press X. You'll get a message saying "Cheats are enabled." This is super important! If you see an error message or nothing happens, double-check that you've typed it correctly. Typos are the enemy of every cheater, haha!
Start Cheating: Once you've enabled cheats, you can start entering all sorts of codes. Remember, you'll need to enter each cheat code into the same console box we just used. Just bring it up again by pressing those four shoulder buttons. Easy peasy!

Why is this important? Enabling cheats is like flipping the switch that unlocks all the cool stuff. Without this step, the game simply won't recognize the codes you're trying to use. So, make sure you nail this part before moving on. It’s the foundation for all the fun we’re about to have.

A Word of Caution

Using cheats can sometimes affect your game's save data or your ability to earn trophies. If you're a trophy hunter, you might want to create a separate save file just for your cheat-filled adventures. This way, you can still play the game legitimately and earn those precious trophies on your main save. Think of it as having a cheat-day save and a regular-play save – best of both worlds!

Essential Sims 4 Cheats for PS4

Okay, now for the good stuff! Let's dive into some essential Sims 4 cheats that will seriously up your game on PS4. These are the go-to codes that every Simmer should know. We're talking about money cheats, build mode cheats, and some fun gameplay tweaks that will make your Sims' lives way more interesting.

Money Cheats

Let’s face it, money makes the Sim world go round. And sometimes, waiting for your Sims to earn enough simoleons to build their dream home can be a drag. These money cheats are your ticket to financial freedom in the Sims!

sims.modify_funds [amount]: This cheat lets you add a specific amount of money to your household funds. Just replace [amount] with the number of simoleons you want. For example, sims.modify_funds 10000 adds 10,000 simoleons. This is perfect for topping up your funds without going overboard. It gives you a little financial boost while still keeping the game challenging.
money [amount]: This is the simpler version, where you replace [amount] with the total amount of money you want your household to have. For instance, money 50000 will set your household funds to 50,000 simoleons. Use this when you need a significant cash injection or want to start fresh with a specific budget.
kaching: This one gives you a quick 1,000 simoleons. It’s a nice little boost when you’re just short of buying something small. Think of it as finding a twenty-dollar bill in your old jeans – a pleasant surprise!
rosebud: Similar to kaching, but it gives you 1,000 simoleons as well. Use whichever you remember more easily; they do the same thing.
motherlode: The big kahuna of money cheats! This code grants your household a whopping 50,000 simoleons. If you're looking to build a mansion, start a massive business, or just live the high life without working your Sims to the bone, this is the cheat for you.
