Sims 4 Skill cheats guide (2024)

To use cheat codes in Sims 4, you must enable them first. For PC users, it’s ‘Ctrl + Shift + C’. If you’re a Mac user, it’s ‘Command + Shift + C.’ For console users, whether PlayStation or Xbox, you just need to hold down all four shoulder buttons simultaneously. A text box will appear in the top left corner to enter your desired cheats. If you need more help with this, check out our guide on enabling cheats in Sims 4.

The primary string you need to enter is ‘stats.set_skill_level [Skill Name] X‘. Replace X with 1-10 to set your Sim’s skill level, where 10 is the standard maximum rank. However, some attributes only go up to Level 3 or 5, so bear that in mind when inputting cheats. You must then replace the ‘Skill Name’ with the desired talent.

Skills are broken down into two categories: Major and Minor. While Major features 10 Levels for career-related activities, Minor is reserved for lower ranks that don’t necessarily tie into any jobs. Sims 4’s expansion and stuff packs also open the door to other skill cheats that aren’t usable in the base game. You’ll need to buy separate add-ons to access these specific attributes, including horse riding, knitting, and bowling.

We’ll break down all Sims 4 skill cheats by providing information on the base game (for adults), children, toddlers, and add-ons.

The Horse Ranch cheats can be a bit tricky since you’ll need to get the animal’s ID first. To find it, open up the cheat text box and enter ‘sims.get_sim_id_by_name (Enter horse’s first and last name here)’. Once you’ve acquired the ID number, note it down to max out the horse’s skill set.

Additional Sims 4 skill cheats will continue to roll out as more expansion packs are released. There are usually one or two skills from these add-ons, including the most recent Thanatology talent from the Life and Death pack. The base game sometimes provides more skills for free, but it’s very rare to happen.
