Troubleshooting

Why Are Sims 4 Cheats Not Working?

There are a few reasons why this may be the case.

  • Be sure to check for typos and make sure you are using the correct cheat codes.
  • Enable cheats in your game first. To do this, go to your game options and select “Enable Cheats.” Once you have done this, you should be able to use all the available cheat codes.
  • If you are still having trouble getting your cheats to work, there are a few other things that you can try. One is to restart your game after you have enabled cheats. Another is to try using a different version of the Sims 4. Disabling mods can help too. If you are using an older version, it is possible that the cheat codes have changed and will not work with the new version.
  • Finally, if all else fails, you can always ask for help from EA or the community of Simmers who are more than happy to help!
