A big part ofThe Sims 4is taking care of your Sim’s needs. When they are feeling sleepy, you are the guiding hand that tucks them into bed. When a Sim is feeling peckish, it’s often up to you to instruct them on what to make as a meal.
This can get a bit tiring though, especially if you are focusing on other aspects of the game. Thankfully, you can use a variety of cheats to replenish the needs of Sims. Here, you can learn every cheat used to fulfill the needs of all your Sims.
How To Enable Cheats
Long-time simmers may already know how to enable cheats, but let’s go over it just in case you are new to using cheats.
Prior to using cheats,use one of the following combinationsdepending on your console of choice.
Console (Xbox and PlayStation)
All 4 Shoulder Buttons
This will open a white bar; here you willtype “testingcheats true”,which enables cheats to be used in the future.
How To Fulfill All Needs At The Same Time
Fulfilling every need at the same time is actually quite simple! With cheats enabled,simply hold ‘Shift’ and click on your Sim.Here, you should see an expanded menu, with the"Cheat Need"option. Click on this, and then on"Make Happy". This willfulfill every needthat your Sim has.
If you are playing on PlayStation or Xbox, don’t worry! Below, you can see theconsole-specific equivalent of holding ‘Shift’.
Hold X and O
Xbox
Hold A and B
On console, you will also see a menu with “Cheat Need” as an option. Click on this, and then find"Make Happy".
This can also be done on a mailbox (Alter Needs), which fills the needs of all Sims in the household or the entire world at the same time.
How To Disable Need Decay
Needs can also essentially be turned off. This is done the same way you fulfill needs. By pressing ‘Shift’ (or the console-specific equivalent), you will also see the option to"Disable Need Decay".
This prevents all needs from going down over time. We suggestusing the “Make Happy” cheat before disabling need decayso they remain as full as possible.
