Custom Cheats
🕑 Added 2025-09-26 15:31:00 +0000 UTCAnother thing that was sitting in my mod folder waiting to be posted.
This mod requires the Core Library.
UPDATES:
20/07/2025 I had the main file updated for a while cause the zone modifiers from cottage living cheats were showing in the UI and weren't supposed to, but I forgot to post it. I also managed to stop the events from starting altogether, but the file needs to be installed before the BS starts, so I'll release that one once the next idiocy drops.

This mod add various cheats to the game across different packs (you don't need to have all the packs for the mod to work)
These are cheats, they require you to SHIFT+Click on the sim to appear.

BASEGAME
Under Romance Cheats:
Chat Sexual Orientation : This allows you to change a sim's sexual orientation on the fly without entering CAS, including NPCs.
Cheat Romantic Boundaries : This allows you to change a sim's romantic boundaries on the fly without entering CAS, including NPCs
HIGH SCHOOL YEARS
Under Maxis' Pie Menu (Pack Cheats):
Graduation Cheats : This allows you to change a sim's graduation status, only young adults and up. I made this because all sims created in CAS and all the premades get "graduated with average rank" by default. With this cheat you can change that. Active sim only.
OCCULT CHEATS
Under Maxis' Pie Menu (Spellcaster/Werewolves cheats. I made a custom category for Vampires):
Reset powers and ranks : same effect as the perk reset potion/drink. For vampires you can remove powers and weaknesses separately, this is useful to remove weaknesses from existing vampires if you have a mod that disables weaknesses.
No Vampire Weaknesses : removes auto unlock of vampire weaknesses, to be used with the cheat above. There are many mods like this one around and will work as well with the cheat, so if you have another one that does the same, you don't need this.
STRANGERVILLE
Under Maxis' Pie Menu (Pack Cheats. I made a custom category for Strangerville):
Set Narrative Act and get various investigation objects.
COTTAGE LIVING (Horse Ranch)
Under Pack Cheats -> EP 11 Cottage Living (Under EP 14 Horse Ranch if Cottage Living is not installed)
Cheat Animals Lifespan
This one's a bit complicated because I wanted something customizable on the spot instead of a global solution. Animals age is a mess to predict, if you're curious there is a pop-up in the mod that gives you the maths and helps you to guess how much you're slowing ageing down.
The cheat can be run individually on the animals or on all the animals on lot by shift+click on a Sim.
From the animal it will only change the decay rate for that animal, from the Sim it will affect all the animals present on the lot (but not the ones you'll get from that point on). The Sim must be inside the boundaries of the lot for the interactions to appear.
The interaction that appears outside of the "Cheat Animals Lifespan" menu on the animals is empty, it only tells you what option is active on that animal.

FOR RENT
On the objects directly
Added two interactions to restore power/water functionality to the water heater and fuse box when the utilities are shut down by another event (like NAPs, the Landgraab call, or the unpaid bills) that don't automatically come back on: this bug here.
I've been sick of Maxis' bugs for a while now and I'm not up to spend hours trying to fix their shit, so I'm just cheating my way around at this point. Interactions only appear when the bug is triggered and utilities are back on.

OTHER
Complete Live Event Quests
UPDATES: September Bullshit event (I could not test the cheat on the cracked game, the event didn't trigger... let me know if you get problems)
UNLOCKED REWARDS
I had already made a mod to unlock all the rewards (only shared on Discord) but now I'm also sick of this stupid UI
I can't wait 8 more days for it to fuck off. If you're like me and don't give a crap about Maxis events not even if they try to bribe you into engaging with the game THE WAY THEY WANT you to engage with rewards, and are just interested in the good old fashioned sandbox, this cheat is for you.

Instructions:
Put the mod in your mod folder, load the game, start a new save (it will take some time to run the cheat, don't do it in your main saves), go into live mode, shift click on your active Sim, look for this interaction:
Run it. The first set of quests will be complete. Wait one Sim minute then run the interaction again to complete the second set. Keep doing it until you cleared them all, waiting a minute between running the interactions.
Quit the game, remove the mod, done. All rewards will be unlocked, all the quests will be cleared and the UI will fuck the hell off. It's still a royal pain in the arse but way less than going around the game to complete this absolute shite.

That's more likely a problem with the core library. Try moving it or updating it.
Travikus
The interaction wouldn't appear. Nor would the locked stages of the event. Did I mess it up with UI Cheats? I clicked through already unlocked ones before I installed your mod.
Jordan
Check the core library. If the interaction isn't showing that's the most likely cause
Lori DeMontigny
Hi Zero. I'm not able to get the September Events unlock to come up when I shift click on the sim. I have the Main file and the cheat only am I doing something wrong mainly? I took my mods out until things update or are labelled safe. I used a new save and followed all the steps
Jordan
You should be able to replay it normally by clicking on the mother plant or in the spot where it was, but the cheat uses the same system to jump chapters as the plant does.
Yo Yo
Thanks Zero! About the Strangeville cheats, can this be used to replay the whole strangeville? I have custom save and dont really want to start another.
Melissa Lungu
Zer0 I think you're my new favourite modder

"September Bullshit Event" LMAO. Thank you so much for the Unlocked Rewards Mod. I'm going to download that immediately.
Jordan
I stopped patching, but I'll see if I can get the files out of the cracked version.
Katie
Hi Zero, any chance you could update the Live Event cheat for the Sep-Oct 2025 event please? TIA :)
Jordan
Yes.
SFrancis
I'm a bit confused on how this works. For the Unlocked Rewards cheats, do those still work after the events are no longer active? For instance, if I load the "Unlocked December Rewards" will I be able to get those items now (in August)?
Jordan
Yes it should work as long as the Core Library works on that version of the game.
Andi ly
Is this cheats available for old version of Sims 4? Im talking about version 1.114
Rebekka Krause
oh thank you
K
if older infant you can shift click cheat needs disable decay. you still need to feed them but much more leeway
Rebekka Krause
Hi my dear. I don't know either where to post, but is it possible to make a mod that makes the infants less hungry? It's so annoying that I barley fed it (and feels like only a view seconds later) and then it starveds almost to death. Even in real life infants aren't that hungry.
Ashles
Amazing! Thanks so much for looking into this!
Jordan
So the answer to that is yes, there is a setup recipe tuning that can change the crafter of the object, but I've yet to test it
Ashles
Awesome! Really appreciate you. Would love to help however possible, currently trying to learn how to do what you do haha
Jordan
That information is stored on the object, I need to check if it's stored by the crafting process and if there is an action to change that info. If it works like ownership, it might be possible.
Ashles
Not sure where to post this, but is a mod that changes the 'creator' of an object possible? So like you can change who took a photo, painted a painting, wrote a book, crafted an object etc.
Ashles
Bless you!!
Jordan
You should also get the diploma in the mail for your Sims with the mod but I haven't tested it because you need to wait a few days for the delivery.
Ashles
OMG you're my savior, I was literally trying to learn how to mod to do the 'HIGH SCHOOL YEARS' cheat. I'm making an elaborate save file with a shit ton of storytelling and it annoyed me so much that I couldn't change a sims graduation status. BLESS YOU
Marie Generis
ouuuuuuuuuh i cannot wait for real!!!! i wonder what you have created
Jordan
Oh I have some 100 files that are waiting to be posted.
Baroness Bat
Sounds Fantastic! Can't wait to use in game. Thanks for all your hard work. You've been on quite a roll lately. Happy to hear your doing well.
