This page is rather stubbly and could use some expansion. Are you a bad enough dude to rescue this article? |
The Sims 4 is another life simulation in The Sims series...without cars. Such evilness.

Anti-Piracy
If the game detects that it is pirated, then after a Sim performs an action that induces the "mosaic censor" effect (showering, using the toilet...), the mosaic will not go away afterwards, instead expanding to cover the entire screen.
Debug Cheats
Use the cheat console (Press CTRL+SHIFT+C) to enter these cheats...

Smoke Test Cheats
These cheats were used to help the game run by itself without any human intervention, so developers could just leave their machines on overnight and still find bugs while sleeping.
- households.autopay_bills - Automatically pay bills.
- ui.dialog.auto_respond - Automatically responds to any dialog boxes with "Cancel". If Cancel is unavailable, it picks something at random.
Soak Cheats
These were used to stress-test the engine during development. Simply put, they summon in random Sims that perform the role of services.
- soak.enable_soak_handyman_situation - Enable a Handyman
- soak.create_soak_handyman_situation - Call a Handyman
- soak.enable_soak_maid_situation - Enable a Maid
- soak.create_soak_maid_situation - Call a Maid
- soak.enable_soak_party_situation - Enable a Party
- soak.create_soak_party_situation - Call a Party
Buy Debug
Enter in bb.showhiddenobjects into the cheat console. Now, enter the word "debug" into the search filter in Build or Buy mode to view and buy all unbuyable objects, ranging from forks to fishing ponds.
Testing Cheats
As with every Sims game since the second, there is a Testing Cheat that enables more advanced debug features. Press CTRL+SHIFT+C and enter testingcheats on to enable these features...
