Skip the Grind! Sims 4 Cheats for Skills, Promotions & Graduation

We’re back with even more cheats so that you can control every aspect of your gameplay! Need to instantly improve a Sims skill? Want to promote a Sim right away? You’re in the right place! We’ll share useful cheats so you can do as you please in your save!

A Quick Recap

If you missed our last guide, don’t worry! We’ll link it at the end of this article so that you know the most useful cheats in the game. If you’re unfamiliar with how to open the cheat console, we’ll go over it briefly! For PC players, simultaneously press Ctrl+Shift+C. Mac players press Cmd+Shift+C. For console players on Xbox and PlayStation, press all four shoulder buttons at the same time. You then enter testingcheats on in the text console.

Skill Cheats

Now that you’re caught up on how to open the cheat console, we’ll get into the cheats! Skill cheats are extremely helpful in moments where you need to immediately reach a certain skill level. Sometimes it’s just too difficult to wait for our Sims to reach level 10. It’s also pretty helpful if you’re attempting to give a background Sim some character.

For example, if you want to level up the charisma skill, enter stats.set_skill_level major_charisma [1-10]. This is the same for any other skill; just replace the skill name. For children, it’s a bit different. If leveling up the mental skill, enter stats.set_skill_level Skill_Child_Mental [1-10]. Toddlers differ as well. Their skill system only goes up to level 5. For toddlers, enter something like stats.set_skill_level_Toddler_Potty [1-5].

Career Cheats

Careers can be annoying, and being able to instantly promote a Sim saves so much time. Or if you’re trying to give a background Sim a backstory, this cheat comes in handy. Whatever the reason you’re using this cheat, we don’t mind. We’re not judging!

There are two cheats you can use for careers. To promote, enter careers.promote [code]. To demote, enter careers.demote [code]. When entering the cheat, replace [code] with the career name. For example, to promote your Sim in the detective career, enter careers.promote detective.

Miscellaneous Cheats

These last few cheats fall under the miscellaneous branch, but are super helpful. Want a Sim to graduate early or become valedictorian? There’s a cheat for that! No longer do you have to suffer through several Sim days of school to graduate! Now you can do it with just a few words.

To have a Sim graduate as valedictorian, enter traits.equip_trait trait_hsexit_graduate_valedictorian. This will equip the trait to the Sim, allowing them to graduate as a valedictorian. To graduate early, enter traits.equip_trait trait_hsexit_graduate_early. Now your Sim is out of high school!
