- PC/Mac: Press Ctrl + Shift + C simultaneously. A text entry box will appear at the top of your screen.
- PlayStation 4 & PlayStation 5: Hold down all four shoulder buttons (L1 + L2 + R1 + R2) at the same time. The cheat console will pop up.
- Xbox One & Xbox Series X/S: Hold down all four shoulder buttons (LB + LT + RB + RT) simultaneously. You’ll see the cheat input box appear.
Once the cheat console is open, you’re ready to enter the magical words that will fill your Sim’s coffers.
