Running out of Simoleons in The Sims 4 can be a real buzzkill. Whether you’re dreaming of building a lavish mansion, furnishing your Sim’s home with the latest gadgets, or simply want to skip the grind and jump straight into the fun, money cheats are the answer. This guide will walk you through everything you need to know about using Sims 4 Money Cheats on both PC/Mac and consoles like PlayStation and Xbox, ensuring you can live the Sim life of your dreams without financial constraints.
Accessing the Cheat Console in Sims 4
Before diving into the world of Simoleons galore, you need to know how to open the cheat console. This is your gateway to entering all sorts of cheat codes in The Sims 4.
On PC and Mac, simply press Ctrl + Shift + C simultaneously. A white text box will appear at the top of your screen – this is the cheat console.
For PlayStation 4 and Xbox One players, the process is slightly different. While in-game, hold down all four shoulder buttons ( L1 + L2 + R1 + R2 on PlayStation, or LB + LT + RB + RT on Xbox). Alternatively, if you are using a mouse and keyboard with your console, you can also use Ctrl + Shift + C as you would on PC/Mac. The cheat console box will then appear.

Once you’re done entering your cheats, you can close the console by pressing the same buttons again, or by pressing Esc if using a keyboard.

2. Setting Specific Funds:
For more precise control over your Simoleons, you can use the money cheat in conjunction with testingcheats true.
First, enter testingcheats true in the cheat console and press Enter. This enables testing cheats, which unlock more advanced commands. Be aware that on consoles, using testingcheats true and related cheats may disable achievements for your current save game.
Then, type money X (replace X with the exact amount of Simoleons you want your household to have) and press Enter. For example, money 1000000 will instantly set your household funds to one million Simoleons.
3. Free Real Estate with Build Mode Cheats:
While not directly a money cheat, Build Mode cheats can save you Simoleons by allowing you to build for free or ignore object placement restrictions.
bb.moveobjects: This cheat removes restrictions on item placement, letting you overlap objects and create unique designs without spending extra money on unnecessary items.bb.enablefreebuild: Allows building anywhere, including locked lots. While it doesn’t directly give money, it opens up possibilities that could indirectly save you funds or allow for creative storytelling without cost limitations.bb.ignoregameplayunlocksentitlement: Unlocks all career rewards in Buy mode, granting access to expensive items without career progression or spending Simoleons.
To use these Build Mode cheats, you must be in Build Mode. Open the cheat console, enter the desired code, and press Enter.
Important Considerations for Console Players
As mentioned earlier, using cheats that require testingcheats true on consoles will disable Achievements and Trophies for your current game save. Basic money cheats like rosebud, kaching, and motherlode are generally safe and do not disable achievements. Build Mode cheats listed above are also typically safe to use on consoles without disabling achievements.
