Skills Cheats
Last Updated:
There are so many cheats available in the Sims 4 that you can alter mechanics such as editing your Sim’s looks, gaining satisfaction points for your aspirations, and more. If you have checked our other pages with our cheats, you’ll find information for those. You may be wondering as well if there are cheats for your Sim’s skills?
Thankfully in the Sims 4, there are indeed cheats that you can use to affect the skills that you currently have. In this guide we’ll be providing you with the cheats available in terms of the different Skills that are available for your Sims. There are a variety of cheat inputs that you can make for Skills so we’re here to assist you. Let’s get started!
This can be a time-consuming process however since you’ll need to do these tasks repeatedly in order to level up a skill of your choice. Not only will you level up a skill, but you’ll have multiple other skills that you might want to level up at the same time. This can take up your entire Sim’s day, and it can take a while. Thanks to cheats, you’ll be able to skip this process using the following cheat:
stats.set_skill_level major_skillname X
Before using this cheat, make sure that you have TestingCheats On. In this cheat, you’ll have to change the skillname part corresponding to your current skill, while X will refer to your skill’s level. You can change the skill level ranging from 1 to 10, but remember that there are some skills that have a limit (such as level 5 for bowling). An example for a code would be stats.set_skill_level major_painting 10 where the cheat will level up your Painting skill all the way to level 10.
The skill names here will be listed in alphabetical order as well, so it will be easier for you to find which skill you’ll want to level up. This list will also provide you with the max skill levels that are available for your use:
Aside from teenagers and adults having their own corresponding skills, there are also specific skills available for toddlers and children. It might be surprising considering they don’t really do much, but their skills are actually more related to their growth and capabilities. In this list, we’ll be providing you with the cheat codes available for Toddlers and Children in order to maximize their growth potential:
Toddler Skill Cheats: The bonus that you can get from maximizing your toddler’s skills lets them learn skills much faster as they grow up. However, if you’ll be using cheats in order to maximize skills, this may not be needed. You can use these cheats if you want to play your Sim regularly as they grow up an learn skills on their own pace. Here are their skills as well as their cheat codes:
Children Skill Cheats: The skills that you can level up for your children are more on the cognitive side. It’s important that you maximize them since children can have their own aspirations as well. Once you have maximized their skills, you can compete their aspirational goals and you can get corresponding reward traits. Here are their skills as well as their cheat codes:
We hope that our Skills Cheats list will help you out maximize your Sim’s potential.

How to level up your Skills
Whenever you interact with objects or Sims in the game, your Sim is able to learn a skill related to it. For example, you can learn the painting skill will require you to use an easel and start to paint. Once you learned that skill, you’ll have to level it up eventually and maximize it to gain more features with that skill.
