Sims 4 Cheats: Skills

Originally, Get To Work added two new skills to The Sims 4; Baking and Photography. Later, Photography became a base game skill, so technically, Get To Work only comes with the Baking skill now. Don’t worry; we still have the Photography skill Sims 4 cheat for you!

Baking is a major 10-level skill, so replace X with a number between 1-10. Photography is a minor 5-level skill, so replace X with a number between 1-5. The number you specify will set the skill to that level.

stats.set_skill_level major_baking X – Set your Baking skill level (1-10)
stats.set_skill_level minor_photography X – Set your Photography skill level (1-5)

You can also use these Sims 4 cheats to lower your Sim’s skill level if you want to. Just replace X with any number that is lower than your Sim’s current skill level.

Trait Cheats

The Sims 4 Get to Work: Preview by TrustedReviews

The Sims 4 Get To Work does not come with any new CAS or aspiration traits but it does come with a hidden career reward trait! The Sickness Resistance trait is gained by reaching level 8 in the Doctor career. This trait makes your Sim less likely to get sick and if they do get sick, they recover much faster than other Sims. If you want the trait without having to become a Doctor, there are Sims 4 cheats for it.

Also, for console players, trait cheats can be used without enabling testingcheats. This means these cheats won’t disable your trophies or achievements.

traits.equip_trait Trait_Doctor_SicknessResistant – Gives your Sim the Sickness Resistance trait
traits.remove_trait Trait_Doctor_SicknessResistant – Removes the Sickness Resistance trait from your Sim

Sims 4 Cheats for Aliens

The Sims 4: Four Lesser Known Facts About Aliens — This baby has an alien mother and human father. She is not an alien. She has a human bassinet and human clothes.

If you want your Sim to be abducted by aliens, the base chances are slim. The best way to improve the odds is by joining the Scientist career and discovering inventions that will attract aliens to your lot. Although, if you don’t want to become a Scientist to get abducted, the following Sims 4 cheat will allow you to purchase these inventions from the secret Build/Buy catalogue.

Console players will be happy to know that the following cheat does not require them to enable testingcheats. This means that using this cheat will not disable their trophies or achievements.

bb.showhiddenobjects – Unlocks hidden items in the Build/Buy catalogue

With this Sims 4 cheat active, search Build/Buy for the following objects and place them on your lot:

Out of this World Desktop
Satellite Dish

Obviously, both of these objects increase your odds of abduction each night. Select the Satellite Dish and choose Contact Aliens. The dish will send out a signal to attract aliens to your home lot. The effect only lasts for 24 hours so make sure to keep doing this daily until your Sim gets abducted.

Cheat with Logic!

You can also increase your odds of abduction by using the Search for The Truth interaction on a telescope or observatory. This interaction is only unlocked at level 7 of the Logic skill, so here is the Sims 4 cheat to raise your Logic skill to the required level.

stats.set_skill_level major_Logic 7 – Raises the Logic skill to level 7 which unlocks the Search for the Truth interaction on telescopes and the observatory.

Nevertheless, remember! These cheats only increase your odds of abduction! They do not guarantee it. You could have bad luck and not be abducted for quite a while even while using these methods to increase the odds. Also, even if your Sim does get abducted, there’s no guarantee they will return pregnant with an alien. Only male Sims can return from an abduction pregnant with an alien baby. Moreover, According to Carl, there is only a 25% chance that any abduction of a male Sim will result in an alien pregnancy. So if these Sims 4 cheats aren’t working, just keep trying!
