More ‘unofficial’ Sims 4 cheats discovered

Yesterday, Maxis producer Grant Rodiek admitted that The Sims 4 had shipped with a number of "development cheats" accidentally included in the game. Apparently, it was only after until one user — TwistedMexican — first discovered them that Rodiek came out and officially shared them with the rest of the public. Turns out though, there are quite a bit more "cheats" that Maxis is keeping secret from us.

TwistedMexican was kind enough to post all of these "unofficial" cheats in a lengthy Reddit post which I've included below. For those of you who would rather stick to the approved "official" cheats, you can find them here.

"These cheats were unveiled after I decompiled the source code and found the functioning commands. They were meant for developer's use only and were not meant to be accessible by players," he explains. "That said, The Guru's have stated they should work fairly well as they were extensively used for testing."

Get Sim ID

**Some cheats require the Sim ID instead of your sims First and Last name. Use this command to get it. You're only interested in the long numerical string at the end.

Set Household fund to exact amount
<amount> is a number value.

Get Infinite Potions using the Infinite Consumables Cheat
Note: Run this command first, then buy a potion. Place it in the world and the sim will drink it indefinitely until you cancel the action. They'll sit the potion back down to use again later. This works on all consumables but food will still spoil.

Make Sim Behave As Maid
Adding this buff will make your sim behave normally, but when there's something to clean up they'll immediately do it on their own.

Turn Maid Behavior on

sims.add_buff NPC_Maid

Turn Maid Behavior off

sims.remove_buff NPC_Maid

SOAK: Handyman, Maid, and Parties

Note: The developers used these cheats to stress-test the system. Because that was the focus of these commands, the handymen and maids are just randomly generated sims. They behave as expected – they'll chat for a few hours, fixing/cleaning anything that needs it, then leave.

soak.enable_soak_handyman_situation

Call Handyman

soak.create_soak_handyman_situation

soak.enable_soak_maid_situation

Call Party

soak.create_soak_party_situation

Help Your Sim Over The Edge (Influence Death)

You can't immediately kill your sim, but adding these following buffs might help:

Death by Repair
Add this buff then have your sim try fixing items around the house.

sims.add_buff buff_Death_Electrocution_Warning

Death by Exhaustion
Add this buff and your sim might die immediately. If not, try working out. This doesn't always work as the workout options will gray out.
