Ultimate Guide For PS4 Sims 4 Users

The ps4 Sims for PlayStation 4 is a simulation game that lets you create simulated people, or sims, and place them together in houses in your own little virtual world. The game never plays exactly the same way twice, because every sim has their own motivations, and there’s no way to tell how things will end up playing out. If you want to add a whole new dimension of fun to the game, you can use Sims 4 cheats on the PlayStation 4 to alter everything from how much money your sims have in the bank to who they fall in love with.

The cheats, tips, tricks, and hacks in this article specifically apply to the Playstation 4 version of ps4 Sims 4. You may find Sim 4 cheat codes for Xbox One or Sims 4 cheat codes for PC more useful if you’re using one of those platforms.

How Do Cheats Work in The Sims 4 on PS4?

Cheats in The Sims 4 on PlayStation 4 can drastically alter your gameplay experience. They can make your life easier by providing a bunch of free money, allow you to alter aspects of your sims, create and destroy relationships, and make it a whole lot easier to build the house of your dreams. Cheats can even do funny things, like turn a sim’s head into a toilet.

You’re free to use as many cheats and codes, whenever you want, but it’s important to note that enabling cheats disables your ability to earn trophies. Trophies are disabled on a per-save basis, so if you want to start earning them again, just create a new game or load a save where you never enabled cheats.

Maxis intentionally allows players to use cheats in The Sims 4 on PlayStation 4, so using them won’t get you in any trouble. These cheats are often broken by game updates though, and Maxis can also turn any cheat off at any time. For example, a game update broke ghost and death cheats. If you find that a cheat doesn’t work, and you’re sure you entered it right, all you can do is wait to see if Maxis ever fixes it through a later update.

Using Cheats in The Sims 4 on PS4 to Modify Relationships

In The Sims 4 on PlayStation 4, individual sims have two different relationship stats that measure their feelings toward other sims. One of these stats determines if two sims are friends, and the other determines if they are romantically involved. These stats will change over time through normal gameplay, or you can use relationship cheats to instantly make two sims best friends or enemies.

Every Sims 4 cheat code that modifies relationships between two sims follows this basic format: 

modifyrelationship sim1FirstName sim1LastName sim2FirstName sim2LastName 100 RelationshipType. 

That is, you need to type the first and last name of one sim, the first and last name of a second sim, a number, and then the relationship type. Here’s an example:

modifyrelationship Kaz Hirai Shuhei Yoshida 100 LTR_Friendship_Main

If you entered that exact code into the cheat console, it would provide a nice friendship level boost between the sims Kaz Hirai and Shuhei Yoshida. If you use a negative number instead, you can create a negative effect on the friendship of the two sims instead.

Here are the codes that you can use in place of LTR_Friendship_Main from the example, and some extra cheats that also pertain to relationships: 

What the Cheat Does	The Cheat Code
Romance	LTR_Romance_Main
Friendship	LTR_Friendship_Main
Friendship with Pets	LTR_SimToPet_Friendship_Main
Introduces the selected sim to all of the other sims in the neighborhood.	Type relationship.introduce_sim_to_all_others into the cheat console.
Causes a new sim to spawn on your lot and become friends with the selected sim.	Type relationship.create_friends_for_sim into the cheat console.
