So like a lot of people I lost all my relationships with the most recent update, unfortunately I can't recover without loosing months of gameplay (my own fault, I saved a bunch of times before I noticed the issue) but I'm trying to manually restore everyones relationships using modifyrelationships, and for some reason it only works for romance_main not friendship_main. I've used the cheat many times before, so I know how to use it, and its just not working at all.If anyone has any idea why or how to fix it I'd appreciate it.

I just got out of a chat with someone at EA and they have pretty much said it's not going to be a big priority for them as they "Don't normally support cheats" and just as i was replying the adviser disconnected the chat! this may a problem that lasts for a while. it's like EA don't acknowledge the fact that around 90% of sims users use cheats at some point during the game play. I could understand this issue being low down on a list if the game was some how being manipulated in regards to online play but the sims has had this feature since the original game! i hope and expect that this problem is going to cause sales to drop in their next expansion pack launches if the cheats haven't been fixed by then. poor show

As of today (it worked yesterday), with the Cats and Dogs expansion pack, the modify friendship relationship cheat is not working for me but the romance one is. I even copied the romance one that worked and modified the word to friendship and it didn't work. I am mod free, so I know its not a mod issue.

For the past few days since the update cheats, specifically for skills are not working. I read three days ago they are aware of the issue and I've been trying to be patient. However I haven't found any new information. Is there a time line for when this will be fixed? It would be great if I could actually play the games I've paid for. This is ridiculous!

Since the new patch of june 19th 2018 the skill cheats don't work at all. What's up with that?

I just downloaded Seasons for Sims 4 and my skill cheats are not working either. This is HIGHLY frustrating. All other cheats are working. EA, please fix this ASAP and ensure your updates are bug-free before sending them out, thankyou!

Ok, once it's fixed is there a way to break away from Origin and forced updates? This doesn't seem to be a new issue and EA doesn't seem too concerned to hurry it up a little bit. It's not like these are FREE games.

Hi @sage23122002

thanks for the report but seems all cheats that contain skill are broken so I'm not going to list them separately.

just found that the reset sim option when you shift click a sim has not effect. Also the elder exhaustion cheat doesn't work. I don't know though about any other death cheats as I mainly use the elder exhaustion cheat.

There's so many cheats I've never even heard about :D

Guess that explains the confusion about the resetsim issue. It works when you use resetsim firstname lastname

What's the exact cheat for the elder exhaustion?
