It wouldn’t be a Sims game without the typical list of cheat codes that do things from giving you money, to allowing you to edit objects, and even edit the sims themselves.
To access the cheat codes in The Sims 4, hit Ctrl+Shift+CÂ (or Cmd+Shift+C on a Mac) on your keyboard to bring up the cheat console.
Once at the console, you have a list of possible codes to enter for different effects.
