How To Use Cheats in The Sims 4 Businesses and Hobbies Expansion

Before you can start cutting corners in The Sims 4, you must load up the console command window. The buttons you need to press depend on what system you’re using, so here’s how to get it done on PC, console, and Mac:

  • Mac: Command, Shift, and C.
  • PlayStation/Xbox: Press all four shoulder buttons (L1, L2, R1, and R2).
  • PC: CTRL, Shift, and C.

Once the window appears, type in “testingcheats true” before entering any cheats because some of them require the action to work. If you get all that out of the way, though, you can move on to making use of all of the cheats the new expansion has to offer.
