How to cheat in The Sims 4: ‘Testingcheats true’
It should be noted that in some cases, and in many cases for consoles, you will need to enter the cheat ‘testingcheats true’ in order to use other tricks. It’s worth going in first, just in case. However, if you want to disable this feature, just enter ‘false testingcheats’ in the command console.
‘Test true cheat’ also unlocks some cheats without filling up the command console. For example, clicking on a Sim will allow you to do things like change their needs or respond to their motivations. On PS4 this can be done by holding O and pressing X, while on Xbox One it can be done by holding A and pressing B.
Additionally, enabling cheats on console will make Xbox Achievements and PlayStation Trophies obsolete – but a pop-up will appear on screen notifying you of this.
How to Cheat in The Sims 4: Debug Cheaters

By entering the following cheats into the cheat console (with ‘testingcheats true’ enabled)you will be able to access the debugging elements:
bb.showhiddenobjects
bb.showliveeditobjects
This should let you access the debug stuff. In other words, you should be able to access items that are usually locked.
To access these items, type “debug” in the search bar in build mode. You’ll then see a bunch of items that you usually can’t access, mostly public lot items that you can’t access on your house lot – maybe you want a public toilet in your bathroom? We are not here to judge.
This cheat is also particularly useful for skills such as fishing, as you can simply place a fishing board in your garden and practice your casting in the grass.
