How To Use The Sims 4 Relationship Cheats (Friendship, Romance, Pets)

The Sims 4 allows players to control just about every aspect of their Sim’s life, but relationships with other Sims can often be tricky, so many players resort to cheats. Cheats can be applied to the relationship dynamic between any two Sims and even between pets and their owners to improve them.

Before cheats in the Sims 4 can be used, players must be sure to enable cheats on their platform by typing “testingcheats true” into the Cheat Console. While the input required to open the console will vary depending on the platform, this code for enabling cheats will remain the same.

Open The Cheat Console

By pressing Ctrl + Shift + C on PC or COMMAND + Shift + C on Mac, players can open their Cheat Console and enable any available cheats, including relationship cheats. You will know that you have successfully done this once the “Cheats are enabled” message appears on the cheats console. From there, you should be able to type in and activate any Sims 4 cheat you would like to use. This cheat console can be re-opened at any point using the same input.

Remember that once cheats are enabled, it is not possible to earn trophies or achievements, so players looking to earn specific relationship-related achievements should reconsider using cheats or attempt to unlock all achievements before implementing them.
