What are the money cheats in The Sims 4?
Sims 4 money cheats
The Sims 4 has 5 money cheats, including freerealestate, money, motherlode. 2 of them need testingcheats true first.
The Sims 4 base game includes several commands to change your household Simoleons. You can add fixed amounts with motherlode, rosebud, or kaching. You can also set an exact total with the money command or make lots cost nothing.
Press Ctrl + Shift + C on PC or Cmd + Shift + C on Mac to open the cheat console. On PlayStation and Xbox, press the four shoulder buttons together. Most money commands go in Live mode, while the lot command works on the neighborhood map.

How to enter Sims 4 money cheats in order
Open your neighborhood map first if you want a house without paying for it. Open the cheat console and type freerealestate on to make every lot cost zero Simoleons. Type freerealestate off when you want lots to cost Simoleons again.
Once you load into Live mode, you can add Simoleons right away on PC and Mac. Type rosebud or kaching to add 1,000 Simoleons to your current balance. Type motherlode to add 50,000 Simoleons at once. On PlayStation and Xbox, you must turn cheats on before rosebud, kaching, or motherlode work.
Some commands need you to type testingcheats true first on PC, Mac, PlayStation, and Xbox. After you enable it, type money 100000 to set your household balance to that exact number. You can also type households.autopay_bills true or bills.autopay_bills true so the game pays arriving bills automatically.
Common mistakes and what money cheats cannot do
Players often forget to enable testingcheats true before using the exact balance command. Without that step, typing money 100000 does nothing. On PlayStation and Xbox, even rosebud and motherlode fail if you do not turn cheats on first.
The money command does not add to your current total. Instead, the game adds or subtracts Simoleons so your balance matches the number you typed. Your household balance also has a hard limit and cannot go above 9,999,999 Simoleons.
Entering freerealestate on while in Live mode is another common mistake. You must enter that command on the neighborhood map before moving in. For the bill command, typing households.autopay_bills without true or false simply flips your current setting.
