The Sims 4

How To Guides for PC, Xbox One, and Playstation 4

New Players often need just a little help to get started, and don't want a full guide that may spoil things for them. For this reason, I've made a section for little "How To" guides and step by step tutorials that cover specific topics. Here is a full listing of the miscellaneous guides here on the site and information on what is found within each of them.

This section is new as of May 2019, and will be growing over the coming months. Want me to help you with something? Consider using the form below to propose a tutorial and I'll consider making it sooner.

How to Cheat
A guide to using Cheats in The Sims 4. Includes testing cheats and how to use them on PC, Playstation 4, and Xbox.

How to Cheat Satisfaction Points
This guide goes over the few ways of earning satisfaction legitimately, then gives you options for cheating to get the points. We have a direct method (gimme satisfaction straight up) or indirect (complete Aspirations rapidly). I prefer the latter, as you also get the reward traits from finishing the Aspirations.

How to Adopt
This guide to adoption will help you to bring a baby, toddler, or child into your household without any woohoo involved. If you own the Cats and Dogs expansion, it includes information on adopting pets and how you can meet a few dogs and cats before you decide which is for you.

How to Get a Job
The very basics of finding employment in The Sims 4, with how you'll go to work and a little on how you can get promotions for your Sim.

How to Get Abducted by Aliens
A full guide to the Alien Abduction system present in The Sims 4 Get to Work. Learn how it works and how to trigger it without cheating. Includes information on maximizing the chances of an Alien visit, what will happen to your Sim in the UFO, and the types of babies that can result from pregnancy involving aliens. Touches on both Alien babies and Alien-Sim hybrids.

How to Use Pregnancy Cheats
Teaches you to use the pregnancy cheats that will help you to try for baby, force twins or triplets, influence when a Sim goes into labor, and whether or not they have boys/girls. Also includes the few non-cheating methods you can use.

How to Use Relationship Cheats (Friendship/Romance)
Detailed instructions to using The Sims 4's relationship cheats system via ModifyRelationship and the various relationship tracks. Includes info on Cats and Dogs, for pet owners to take a shortcut... but please pet your good boy.

How to Cheat with Vampires
A guide to using cheats accessible in The Sims 4 Vampires Game Pack. Includes how to turn a Sim into a vampire, how to remove it and bring them back to normal. We also go over how to get a Sim ID to remove vampire powers and weaknesses.

How to Write Songs and Make Music
This guide goes over how you can write songs, license them, and make money with all the instruments from The Sims 4 Base Game, City Living, Get Famous, Get Together, and Vampires. They're all similar, so you can make a musical prodigy that brings in $3000/day.
