Remember when we posted all of the cheats and commands available in The Sims 4? Turns out, those were only the cheats that were published. In a surprise announcement today, EA revealed a slew of additional "development" cheats that made it into the game as well.
"For some back story, these cheats were created to do daily "Smoke Tests." We had to put in these cheats so the game could run on its own without human intervention. Essentially, we run these smoke tests in the wee hours of the morning while we aren't at work using our computers," explained producer Grant Rodiek.
These cheats are still entered through the Command Console (Ctrl + Shift + C). Simply enter the command of your choice from the list below.
*NOTE: you don’t need to put in the < > symbols in your cheat code. There are there to show you where to type in the specifics you want.
Below are a few cheat codes that will allow you to play The Sims 4 anyway you’d like:
- Do you forget to pay your bills until you suddenly lose lights and water? Fret no more with Automatically Pay Bills: households.autopay_bills
