Especially when playing this fourth part of The Sims franchise, Birch often uses the cheats to spice up the gameplay pace. “I’ve tried playing as one Sim with no money in the past and trying to get to the top … It’s really fun doing that in Sims 1, 2, and 3, because things move at a much faster pace while in The Sims 4 it has been dragged out for a very long time. “
You can visit EA’s website and learn how to do the basic cheats for PC / Mac and for console versions of the game. For players looking to dive into the deep end, complete collections of specific cheats for this game are easy to find with a quick web search.
Keep your friends close and your enemies frozen
“I think the SimRay is probably one of the best things The Sims 4, ‘Birch said. New in this version of the game, the SimRay is, as its name implies, a blast gun and tool created as part of the Get to Work expansion pack and can be invented by Sims on the Scientist career path.
Sure, you can use the SimRay to put out fires, but if you’re in the mood for a more chaotic gameplay style, why not freeze your neighbors and keep them from calling the fire department? Plus, if you’re living a kleptomaniac life, I’ve found frozen neighbors to be quite easy to loot. The SimRay includes multiple brain control features as the tool is upgraded.
Get cheesy
“The grilled cheese aspiration is hilarious, but it’s a hidden aspiration,” said Birch. “If you eat a certain amount of grilled cheese, you can get that aspiration.” Originally introduced in The Sims 2 and transferred to The Sims 4grilled cheese aspiration can be unlocked after eating three plates of grilled cheese consecutively. My current Sim (named Cherry Spritzer) probably had a queasy stomach after so many dairy products, but her deepest craving for those gooey, delectable sandwiches was released.
An ambition is a driving desire your Sim has that can be fulfilled by reaching specific goals. For example, if you unlock the grilled cheese pursuit, your Sim will initially want to eat 10 grilled cheese sandwiches and talk to their friends about the topic, but eventually the stakes will get so high that your Sim will want to talk about grilled cheese. cheese with Grim Reaper.
Create your own knowledge with a custom graveyard
“When Sims 4 first came out, there were no family trees, knowledge or previous storylines, so you had to make it up yourself, ”Birch said. “I use the cheats a lot to make people older, kill the parents, age their parents, kill them, and so on. Then you have a cemetery in the backyard. You have a piece of history. “The custom graveyard was one of my favorite tips to test out, and I may have gone a little overboard in creating the Spritzer’s family plot!
Conceived as existing within an alternate universe, The Sims 4 does not follow the previously created timeline. EA’s updated approach to the fourth installment of the franchise shows its desire to keep valuable IP as new and relevant to a new generation of gamers. Comparison of gameplay from The Sims 4 with earlier versions, Birch said, “It’s built for, I think, a younger generation that wants to play like a Kardashian that’s an influencer or whatever, but I want to play like a crazy burglar robbing people’s things.”
