Re: Sims 4 money cheat not working

Do non-money cheats work ? Are you using any mods in your game ? Does it say the command was unrecognized or did nothing happen ?

  • Thanks for the quick reply!

    Nope, hovereffects for instance is not working (it doesn't change any hover effects and doesn't say anything after I pressed Enter). It also doesn't say anything after I typed motherlode.

  • Wait! Silly me 🙂 I found the problem - I was in Build Mode... so apparently some cheats don't work in Build Mode. They should add that as a side note :P

    Thanks for the help anyway!!

    Glad you got it sovled and thanks for letting us know you found the solution 🙂

  • I've tried in build mode and live mode I've enabled the cheats and it showed 'cheats enabled' and motherhood still wont work. I am on a mac does that effect it?

    Nope, that does not affect it at all. It is not supposed to anyway.

    But I do have a question for you - did you type in "motherhood" or "motherload"? It should be motherload 😉

    If that was the issue then your problem is solved!

  • hello i am still having this problem if anyone has advice of what i can do i would greatly appreciate it so much!! I bought this game awhile ago and haven't played because i cant figure it out..I like the free real estate and the money cheats there awesome!! I made my sim and I'm at the part where your looking at your city an picking what house you want to live in...so I go to add the free real estate and obviously i open the cheat box and either it has an error code that its not a right cheat or something or it just erases what you wrote and doesn't enter the cheat or do anything just keeps the cheat box up empty..and i tried again when it went blank repetitively and the same thing kept happening!! I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO!!!

    I finally tried to give Sims 4 a try-out after being totally discouraged by Sims 3.  Anyway I opened up the cheat box and got an error message cannot execute above command when trying to enter the motherlode cheat.  My thing with the Sims is house building and designing.  I was very surprised to see that this has been a longstanding problem for many people for several years.  I didn't however notice any solution in the forums.  I'm not in builder mode, I have tried both control/shift/c and testing cheats on and neither was effective with kaching or mother lode.  Has anyone come up with a solution?

    Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

    I'm on a mac and I tried motherlode as it says, motherhood, and motherload. Apparently, they all don't work. I was even with my friend and she said she got it working but she was on windows. also, my friend tried it on her other friend's mac but it doesn't work.  I am concerned that this actually does affect mac. Also, do you know if MacBook Air has anything to do with it because that is what I have.

    I figured out my problem! I kept on taking screenshots and was pressing command instead of control 🥳

    If you have mods/cc in your game, remove all of them to see if the game works better.
    For example, move the mods folder from C:\Users\Username\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4 to your Desktop and start the game.

  • Im using the money cheat and free realestate so i can buy a house for my new sim i made
