Cheats not responding!

Help please! My cheats aren't responding. In one of my saves, they work fine! but all my other saves, whenever I type "testingcheats on" nothing happens, not even a command failed message. Does anyone know how to fix this?? I've tried uninstalling the sims on origin but even that doesn't do anything

  • Something to try with the saved game(s) that the cheats aren't working.

    How To: Use Testing Cheats -

    1. At Sims 4 Main Menu, choose the family you want to play. Press Pause after getting into live mode.

    2. Press Shift-Ctrl-C all at the same time.


    3. Enter testingcheats on or testingcheats true, press enter.


    -- Once this is enabled, it should show you a message in the cheat console that the cheats are enabled.


    4. Copy or paste the desired cheat, press enter.


    5. Press the ESC key or Shift-Ctrl-C again to exit the cheat console.

    If that doesn't work, try deleting the localthumbcache.package out of the Sims 4 folder to troubleshoot and try using testingcheats again.
