The Sims 4 Life and Death Cheats

Playing with death has been around for years and with these sims 4 life and death cheats you can do so much more than ever before.

These cheats let you do things like get promoted as a mortician or change the style of grief your sim has!

Trait Cheats

There are a few traits that your sim can have with this pack, three of them from CAS and two you have to earn, either through aspirations or being Grim’s baby.


Trait Name

Ghost Whisperer (Ghost Historian Aspiration Reward)traits.equip_trait GhostWhisperer
Grimborn (For Grim’s Offspring)traits.equip_trait Grimborn
Macabretraits.equip_trait trait_macabre

Macabre and Skeptical are conflicting traits so you can’t cheat them onto the same sim at the same time!

Skill Cheats

With this pack we got the thanatology skill which teaches your sim about life and death. This skill is considered a minor skill so you have five levels to earn (or cheat). Below you’ll see the cheat that will max the skill for your sim and you can change the number five at the end to any number from 1 to 5 to give that level instead.
