What are the objects cheats in The Sims 4?
Sims 4 objects cheats
The Sims 4 has 5 object cheats, including crafting.ingredients_required_toggle, fire.toggle_enabled, objects.consumables_infinite_toggle. All of them need testingcheats true first.
Object cheats in The Sims 4 let you control doors, fires, and food on your lot. You can lock or unlock every door at once, stop fires from starting, and cook without ingredients. You can also make food and drinks last forever.
These commands are part of the base game, so you do not need extra packs to use them. You must turn on testing cheats in Live mode before you enter any of these codes. They work on PC, Mac, PlayStation, and Xbox once you enable cheats.

How to enter object cheats in order
First, go into Live mode and open the cheat console. Press Ctrl + Shift + C on PC, or Cmd + Shift + C on Mac. On PlayStation and Xbox, press the shoulder buttons at the same time. Type testingcheats true into the box and press Enter.
Next, type the exact command for the object behavior you want to change. Enter crafting.ingredients_required_toggle so your Sims can cook and craft without having the required ingredients. Type objects.consumables_infinite_toggle if you want prepared food and drinks to never run out. Enter either of these two commands a second time to return the game to normal.
To control lot hazards and access, use the fire and door commands. Type fire.toggle_enabled false to stop anything from catching fire, or fire.toggle_enabled true to bring fires back. You can also type objects.lock_all_doors to lock every door on the lot at once. When you want to open them again, type objects.unlock_all_doors into the console.
Common mistakes and what these cheats cannot do
The most common mistake is forgetting to enable testing cheats before typing an object command. Every cheat in this category requires testingcheats true on PC and Mac, and requires cheats enabled on consoles. If you skip that first step, the game ignores the command you type. Spelling errors or missing periods in the command names also stop them from working.
Understand how the toggle commands work so you do not reverse them by accident. If you type fire.toggle_enabled with no word after it, the game flips the current fire setting. The ingredient and infinite consumable cheats also flip back and forth each time you enter them. For doors, you cannot re-enter the lock code to unlock them, so use objects.unlock_all_doors instead.
