The Sims 4 Relationship Cheats

Cheating for Friendships, Romance and Pets

How to in The Sims 4

Building up friendships and romance in The Sims 4 can be a bit of a grind, so players often turn to cheating. Thankfully the following cheats should work for both PC/Mac as well as the Playstation 4 and Xbox Consoles. You've got to get the syntax right, but I'm here to help.

Enable Cheats
Press Control + Shift + C to open the cheat console, a small command line in the top left corner of the screen. On console, you press all four triggers (L1/L2+R1/R2) to do this.

Once this is open, you just need to type the commands and press enter. We will use the ModifyRelationship YourSimFirstname YourSimLastname Sim2Firstname Sims2LastName # Relationship_Type - see below for explanations. Testing Cheats can be off for these but you may try turning them on if you have trouble.

Relationship Types - Romance, Friendship and Sim to Pet Friendship

There are three types of friendship. They can go from -100 to +100. A 0 value is neutral, while a +100 means I really like you or for +100 romance, I really love you. Negative values can make Sims enemies.

  • LTR_Friendship_Main - normal Sim to Sim friendship
  • LTR_Romance_Main - Sim to Sim romance
  • LTR_SimtoPet_Friendship_Main - A Sim's relationship with a pet (Cats and Dogs Only)

Friends and Enemies Cheat

For examples on using this, I have two Sims here. My Sim's name is Ashley Payne, the target is Yuki Behr. So to make them enemies, I'd use ModifyRelationship Ashley Payne Yuki Behr -100 LTR_Friendship_Main and I'll get this result, a fully red friendship bar - true enemies:

Make Friends or Enemies with this Cheat

If I wanted to then bring them out of the hole, I'd need to add 200 to it, because it's negative. 100 would do if they're neutral, but to max it out I'll use ModifyRelationship Ashley Payne Yuki Behr 200 LTR_Friendship_Main.

Romance Cheat

LTR_Romance_Main is the code for the romantic bar.

This one's useful if you quickly want a boyfriend or girlfriend or just to woohoo with another Sim to Try for Baby. In order to max out their romance bar, I'd use ModifyRelationship Ashley Payne Yuki Behr 100 LTR_Romance_Main. Remember, romance can go negative, too! For example, with -100 romance and -100 friendship, two Sims are total opposites. If they have a positive romance but negative friendship, they can be labeled "Enemies with Benefits". Click here for a full listing of the romance levels based on friendship.

Based on all this, you should have no trouble cheating the friendship with a pet. If the dog's name was Duke EatsTheGarbage I'd use ModifyRelationship Ashley Payne Duke EatsTheGarbage 100 LTR_SimtoPet_Friendship_Main.

Hope this helps!

We have the main guide to cheats page here (click) that has all the cheats plus instructions on how to cheat and what to do if you can't get cheats to work.
I am assuming you aren't able to make the friendship cheats work..so, the two target sims must have had a conversation face-to-face at least once...so they need to have been introduced.
Once you have introduced them you can now pause your game and use the cheats to make them best friends.
For Example: I have a sim named John Smith and Mary Dear. This is the exact cheat to make them friends:
pause game, testingcheats on followed by modifyrelationship John Smith Mary Dear 100 LTR_Friendship_main
You must use the correct names of the target sims in your game.

I know this is a late comment, it being a year later. But I couldn't get cheats to work either. So instead of typing testingcheats true in the box I typed testingcheats yes and it worked like a charm. I know 2020 was a terribly awful year for many. I hope your situation gets better in 2021. My thoughts are with you. Happy Simming.

Hi Leah,
I'm sure someone will have a super easy fix for this, but here's my idea: have your sim go outside and then have them "call over" the unwanted guests. Once they're outside, lock the doors to keep out everyone except household members.

There is no easy solution to this, it would require the game developers to change coding, so the best thing to do is to group together with the unwanted sim, travel to another lot, disband the group and then travel home without them. As I indicated in my post above. Locking doors will actually not stop certain tagged NPC sims from entering your home or apartment as they are coded that way.

Hello, is it possible to use the relationship cheat with a pet but the pet doesn't have a last name? I've tried using the cheat without any last name but it didn't work

Gravatar

Playalotsays...

I don't think any of the relationship cheats work unless the sim has a first name and a last name. So I'd take your pet into CAS first and give them a full name. If the pet isn't in your household you'll need to use the cheat 'cas.fulleditmode'

Umm... so my sim has two last names (The+The Surname) and this doesn't work, please help!

You'll need to take the sim with a double surname into CAS and change their name as the relationship cheats just don't work with two word surnames.

I'm so stuck. I got engaged to a ghost, removed them from the household, then tried to break-up but she left first and hasn't come back.I can't invite her over, or on a date. I tried clearing marriages, using the modifyrelationship cheat to set the romance score to -100, hoping she would break up with me. No luck. Any cheats on PC to make a sim single, to break-up, or to cancel an engagement? I want my sim to marry, but can't until I fix this.

At this point I think you'd need a mod to try to clear the relationship status. Maybe MCCC would help. MCCC Mod link. You could also try asking about the features and functions of this mod on the Official Sims Forums

It might be you are making a typo with your sims names? I've just tested the cheats and they are all working as expected in my game.

Also names with 3 words in them will not work with this cheat, only names that are the 'normal' length such as Yuki Behr or Jaxon Strong etc etc

Just remember the two target sims must have been introduced to each other in-game before using the relationship cheats :)

I don't have an Xbox 1 to test but it is working on PC. The sims need to have at least been introduced to each other in-game before the cheat will work so maybe that is your issue?

please help me... im in snowy escape, i am NOT MISSPELLING, and my sims have names that dont break the thing... its not working, and there lesbian, am i the only one who has this problem?...

Have you checked so that no other Sim has the same name as the two Sims you want to ajdust? That was my first issue, so I just changed the last name if the third Sim.

My second issue was I thought you would set the amount with the number in the cheat code.

Wrong, you decrease/increase by the amount in the cheat code. I wanted to set the romance score to 74, down from 100, so that I could try to get the soulmate status via a normal romantic interaction (getting to 75+).

To achieve this, I entered the number -26, the romance level dropped to 74. I then saved, reloaded, tried a romantic interaction, and hey hey, what do you say, it worked!

Soulmate status achieved =D
