In The Sims 4, even in the most frugal of households, players will need to save up some Simoleons to pay their bills and any other living costs that they might come across. Money runs out fast, especially for bigger households.

Sometimes, it can be overwhelming to try to come up with money fast, and gamers might want an easier way out - that's when money cheats come in. This guide will show players every way to increase their household funds indefinitely in The Sims 4 to make sure that they never have to worry about going broke again.

How To Activate Cheats

Cheats aren't on by default in The Sims 4, and players that want to use them will have to know how to activate them. In The Sims 4, in order to activate cheats, players will have to open the cheat console. It's done differently depending on the game's platform. Here are all the ways to do it:

  • PC, Mac, and consoles using KBM: Ctrl + Shift + C or Command + Shift + C
  • Playstation: L1 + L2 + R1 + R2
  • Xbox: LB + LT + RB + RT

With the cheat console open, they must type "testingcheats on" in order to activate cheats; there are all sorts of cheats in The Sims 4. They can be turned off at any time by repeating the first step and typing "testingcheats off". Once cheats have been turned on, some trophies and achievements will become unavailable for the save file - even if they're turned off later on.

Players must enable cheats each time they enter the save file if they'd wish to use them again later on.

Money Cheats

There are several money cheats in The Sims 4, and it always comes in handy to know them all for specific cases. Gamers might just want to cheat for 1,000 Simoleons, or they might want to get as much money as possible all at once. Here are some cheats codes that will grant players a specific amount of money if entered into the cheat console:

  • "rosebud": 1,000 Simoleons
  • "kaching": 1,000 Simoleons
  • "motherlode": 50,000 Simoleons

The motherlode cheat is a classic in The Sims community, but there are ways to get even more money through cheats. Though it is not possible to have an unlimited amount of money at all times in The Sims 4, it's possible to have an unlimited source of money.

Players can set the amount of money a household has by typing in "money" followed by a space and a number. This can either reduce or increase the Simoleons in a household, and it's an extremely easy way to reach the maximum amount of money in the game.

A Sims household can only have up to 9,999,999 Simoleons, and if players want to reach this, they have to open the cheat console and type "money 9999999". They can put down an even larger number, but it'll still be set to the limit - that being 9,999,999 Simoleons.

The Sims 4 is available now for Mac, PC, PS4, PS5, and Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S.
