Skill cheats in The Sims 4 will help you advance your skills in the game without having to grind countless hours to level them up. Here is a list of all the cheats that you will be able to use in the game.

The Sims 4 is a game where you can create a character and control how they live and experience their lives. There are a lot of different paths that you can experience, including the different career paths.

As your characters grow in the game, they will start developing certain skills and habits which will influence how they perform in certain activities and jobs.

To excel in a particular activity or role, you need to level up a certain set of skills, and it’s not always possible to do that for a lot of reasons. To help you get out of a situation where you don’t have the skills to perform a particular task, there are cheats that you can use to level up your skills in The Sims 4.

So what are these skill cheats in Sims 4, and how do you use them?

How to enable cheats in The Sims 4

The Sims 4 players can enable cheats by bringing up the cheat console and entering the command “testingcheats true” in the console. Here’s how you can bring up the cheat console, depending upon the platform you’re playing the game on:

PC: Hit Ctrl + Shift + C to bring up the cheat console.
Xbox/PlayStation: Press all four triggers together ( R1 + R2 + L1 + L2 on PlayStation / LB + LT + RB + RT on Xbox.)

Once you’ve entered the said command, you can start using the skill cheats in Sims 4.

You can use cheats to level up different skills in the game.

Skills in The Sims 4 are divided into the following categories:

Major
Minor
Child
Toddler

Children have access to the Toddler and Child skills only, whereas Teens, Young Adults, Adults, and Elders have access to the Major and Minor skills.

It’s also worth noting that once children max out their Child skills, they will be able to learn the Major and Minor skills. Barring a few skills in Sims 4, every skill maxes out at level 10.

That said, here is the list of cheats that will help you max out each and every skill in the game:
