The Sims 4 Trait Cheats (Updated for Adventure Awaits)
There are so many traits in the game and with these sims 4 trait cheats you can add many of them to your sim.
In this list you’ll find cheats that let you add create-a-sim traits, aspiration rewards and even age up rewards from being an infant or toddler!
Note: All of these sims 4 trait cheats have been play-tested by me as of January 2026.
How to Cheat Traits
To use cheats you first need to open up the cheat dialogue box. Doing this is easy and changes depending on where you’re playing:
- PC: Ctrl + Shift + C
- Mac: Command + Shift + C
- Console: All Four Triggers
Once the box is open you’ll need to type in testingcheats true and hit enter to turn cheats on. This dialogue box is also where you’ll use the sims 4 trait cheats so if the boxed closed you can use the same things to open it again.
All trait cheats start with traits.equip_trait or traits.remove_trait where the equip one will add a trait to your sim and the remove one will remove it from your sim. The end of the cheat changes depending on what trait the sim is getting.
All of the cheats below are going to have equip in them to give your sim the trait, if you want to remove the trait from your sim you can just change the word equip to remove and then use it.
Note: You can’t have two traits that conflict, the game won’t let you. So, if your sim already has the gloomy trait for example you won’t be able to add the cheerful trait to that same sim even with cheats! The game also sometimes doesn’t let you add more than six CAS traits!
Create-A-Sim Trait Cheats
The first category of traits are the ones you can give your sim in create-a-sim, these are grouped into four categories that you see in CAS so I organized them that way as well.
