What does the death.toggle cheat do in The Sims 4?
death.toggle cheat
With false, the game blocks every death that runs as a death action, which is all of them except Beetle Juice. With true, deaths come back; with nothing, it flips. The setting isn't saved with your game, so type it again after you restart. Type death.toggle false in the cheat console. Type testingcheats true first.
You can stop Sims from dying in The Sims 4 by using the death.toggle cheat. This base game command controls if death events can happen during your play session. You can turn deaths off to protect your household, or turn them back on whenever you want.
Before you use this command, you must turn on testing cheats. Open the cheat console in Live mode and type testingcheats true first. Then, type death.toggle false to block deaths in the game.

How to type death.toggle and what happens
First, open the cheat console while you are in Live mode. Press Ctrl + Shift + C on PC, or Cmd + Shift + C on Mac. On PlayStation and Xbox, press all four shoulder buttons at the same time.
Type testingcheats true into the box and press Enter. Next, type death.toggle false and press Enter to stop Sims from dying. When you want normal rules again, type death.toggle true into the console.
You can also type death.toggle with no extra word at the end. When you leave out true or false, the command switches the current setting to the opposite state. When set to false, the game blocks all deaths that run as a death action, except for the Beetle Juice death.
When death.toggle does not work and fixes
If the command does nothing, check that you turned on testing cheats first. On PC and Mac, the game requires you to enter testingcheats true before it accepts this command. On PlayStation and Xbox, this command counts as a cheat, so you must turn on cheats first.
Another common problem happens when you close the game and come back later. The game does not save the death.toggle setting with your save file. You must open the console and type death.toggle false again every time you restart The Sims 4.
Finally, remember that one specific death bypasses this command. Even with the cheat set to false, the Beetle Juice death can still happen because it does not run as a standard death action. All other deaths in the game stop working until you turn them back on or close the game.
