Sims 4 Money Cheats: Your Guide to Riches in the Sims World

Struggling to make ends meet in The Sims 4? Are your Sims constantly facing eviction or eating grilled cheese for every meal? Fear not, aspiring Simillionaires! The Sims 4 offers a variety of cheat codes to instantly boost your Simoleons and live the lavish lifestyle you’ve always dreamed of. Whether you’re on PC, Mac, PlayStation, or Xbox, we’ve got you covered with the essential money cheats to transform your Sims’ financial fortunes.

Basic Money Cheats: Rosebud and Kaching

For a quick injection of cash, The Sims 4 provides two simple cheat codes: rosebud and kaching. These are your go-to cheats for a small but helpful financial boost.

rosebud: Entering this cheat code will grant your household §1,000 Simoleons. It’s a nice little top-up when you’re just a bit short of buying that essential item.
kaching: Need a bit more? kaching provides §1,000 Simoleons as well. While both cheats give the same amount, knowing both can be handy.

To use these (and other) cheats, you’ll first need to open the cheat console. The method varies slightly depending on your platform.

How to Open the Cheat Console:

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.
Xbox One & Xbox Series X/S: Hold down all four shoulder buttons (LB, LT, RB, RT) simultaneously.

Once the cheat console is open, simply type in rosebud or kaching and press Enter. You can repeat these cheats as many times as you like to accumulate Simoleons.

The Motherlode: Unlock True Wealth

For those who want to skip the small boosts and go straight to the big bucks, motherlode is the cheat code you need.

motherlode: This powerful cheat instantly adds a whopping §50,000 Simoleons to your household funds. Use it once, twice, or as many times as needed to achieve ultimate Sim-wealth.

Just like rosebud and kaching, enter motherlode into the cheat console and press Enter to see your Simoleons skyrocket.

Unleashing Advanced Money Cheats with TestingCheats True

For even more control over your Sims’ finances and access to a wider range of cheats, you’ll need to enable testing cheats. This is done with the command testingcheats true.

Important Note for Console Players: Be aware that enabling testing cheats on consoles like PlayStation and Xbox will disable Achievements and Trophies for your current game save. If you’re concerned about earning achievements, use these cheats on a separate save file or after you’ve unlocked all the achievements you desire. Build mode cheats generally do not disable achievements.

Open the Cheat Console as described earlier for your platform.
Type testingcheats true and press Enter. The game will confirm that cheats are enabled.

With testing cheats enabled, you gain access to powerful money manipulation cheats:

Money [Amount]: This cheat allows you to set your household funds to a specific amount. Replace [Amount] with the desired number of Simoleons. For example, Money 500000 will set your household balance to §500,000. This is perfect for precise financial control.
Shift-Click Cheats (PC/Mac): With testing cheats enabled, you can Shift + Left Click on a Sim or object for additional cheat options. On PC/Mac, Shift-clicking on your Sim and selecting “Cheat Sim Info” then “Add Money” allows you to add §1,000 Simoleons directly. You can also use “Cheat Sim Info” then “Money…” to set a specific amount.
Shift-Click Cheats (Consoles): On PlayStation and Xbox, “shift-clicking” is performed by holding Circle + X (PlayStation) or B + A (Xbox) while interacting. Shift-clicking on a Sim with testing cheats enabled should provide similar “Cheat Sim Info” options to adjust money, although menu options can vary slightly on consoles.

Choosing the Right Money Cheat for You

For Quick, Small Boosts: rosebud and kaching are ideal for minor financial bumps.
For a Substantial Cash Injection: motherlode provides a significant §50,000 boost.
For Complete Financial Control: testingcheats true followed by Money [Amount] offers the ultimate power to set your Simoleons exactly where you want them.

Responsible Cheating in The Sims 4

While money cheats can be incredibly helpful and fun, remember to use them in a way that enhances your gameplay experience. Overusing cheats can sometimes diminish the challenge and satisfaction of building your Sims’ lives from the ground up. Experiment with different cheats and find the balance that’s right for you. Whether you want to build a mansion instantly or just need a little help getting started, Sims 4 money cheats are a powerful tool at your disposal.

Enjoy your newfound Sim-wealth and happy Simming!
