Once opened, the cheat console will appear as a thin box at the top of the screen. Into that, you can type any of the cheats below or on other pages. To close the cheat console, simply press the same keys or buttons.
Some cheats require you to first this:
testingcheats true
(Note that "true" above can be replaced with the word "on" as well.)
When TestingCheats is enabled, other cheats can also be toggled. To turn off TestingCheats, type this into the cheat console:
testingcheats false
(Note that "false" can be replaced with "off.")
Additionally, some cheats require shift-clicking Sims or objects on the PC or Mac. To execute a shift-click on consoles, hold Circle and press X (on PlayStation 4) or hold B and press A (on Xbox One).
For more information, please see the Cheat Codes pages on the wiki, as well as the TestingCheats page.
