Index Introduction Common Pitfalls Individual Cheats Introduction Cheats are commonly used in the Sims games and as it's a single player game, you can do so at your heart's content. Some cheats are also used to fix issues. For PC/Mac there are no consequences for using them. On Console, using testingcheats will disable achievements/trophies. There are many cheats and you can find the most common ones listed on these sites Carl's Sims 4 Guide Twisted Mexi SimsOnline If you are on PC/Mac and not opposed to mods, I recommend getting TwistedMexis BetterCheatConsole mod.

Does Sims 4 run on a Chromebook ? No, the Sims 4 does not run on a Chromebook. Sims 4 needs either macOS or Windows to run. There's also a console version available for XBox 1 and PS4. Chromebooks run Chrome OS which is a different kind of operating system. Chromebooks are mostly for everyday office work, browsing the net or some playing multimedia. They are not made to run a demanding game. You can find the requirements here: [READ FIRST] Make sure you meet minimum requirements (PC). Chromebooks typically rely on cloud saving for most data and have a very small hard drive because of that. This also makes them unfit to run the game. There are newer Chromebooks that have better specs and bigger hard drivers but those are equally not well suited as low-end Windows Computer. Can I install Windows on a Chromebook ? There are ways to do this but unless you know what you're doing, it's not recommended. There are news that Google has plans make it easier though. The things pointed out above about Chromebooks being too low in specs still apply. Will EA make The Sims 4 available for Chromebooks ? There is no information on that. EA has not made any comments on that but given the specs issue, I wouldn't keep my hopes up. Are there any Sims Games I can run on Chromebooks ? Some Chromebooks are able to run Android Apps. For Android/iOS you can give either The Sims Free Play or the Sims Mobile a look. I already bought Sims 4. Can I get a refund ? Yes,the Great Game Guarantee allows you to return the game within 14 days of your purchase (24 hours after starting it for the first time)
Trying to find new friends on Origin
So I recently bought Sims 4 and I'm trying to get the hang of Origin and everything. (I've played older versions of the Sims) Now I'm just trying to find for some friends that I can add on my Origin account. My IRL friends will probably never even touch a game, let alone the sims 4 haha so I'd like to have some online friends who play Sims 4 as well. Or even other games. I'd like it if we all left our Origin IDs so we can add each other and I don't know we could help each other mine is; mikavdl
