ea / dexertoUsing The Sims 4 Businesses & Hobbies cheats can help you achieve whatever goal you want in your preferred way and here’s a list of all of them.
The Sims 4’s Business and Hobbies Expansion Pack highlights the ability to turn your skills or hobbies into a profitable business, allowing your Sims to essentially open their own business – and, of course, be their own boss.
From selling paintings to opening their own tattoo parlor, these can be done conveniently at their own home. While that’s the case, there are always a few challenges they’re bound to meet.
Sometimes, you may stumble upon unhappy customers, or perhaps your Sim is too tired to work properly. Either way, we’ve got the best business and hobbies cheats that can help make the experience even more convenient.
How to enable cheats
ea / dexertoIn order for cheats to work, you have to press a combination of buttons to bring up the console commands window in the game. It’s a pretty straightforward process, but these buttons do differ depending on your platform.
Follow the steps below:
- PC: CTRL, Shift, and C.
- Mac: Command, Shift, and C.
- PS4/PS4/Xbox: Hold down all four shoulder buttons.
A small bar should now appear on top of your screen. Before we get to the list of cheats, however, make sure also to type testingcheats true, as this is required for activating some of them.
