Just like in real life, you can level up individual skills by practicing in The Sims 4. However, that can take a lot of time and effort – that not everyone is willing to spend. In that case, this guide will show you The Sims 4 skill cheats so that you can quickly master the skill of your choosing.
If you want to quickly level up a certain skill for your job, using these cheats will help you out a lot. Plus, this can save up a lot of time that you can use in other places without any worries. With that said, let’s dive right in and get started.
The Sims 4 Skill Cheats
Before we talk about the skill cheats, let’s briefly talk about how you can activate cheats.
To enable cheats:
- On PC, press Ctrl + Shift + C.
- On Mac, press Command + Shift + C.
- On Xbox One, press LT + RT + LB + RB.
- On PS4, press L1 + L2 + R1 + R2.
