The rosebud cheat in The Sims 4 gives your active family a fast boost of cash. When you enter the command, the game adds 1,000 Simoleons to your household funds. You can also type kaching to get the exact same result, because both words run the same command.
This money cheat comes with the base game, so you do not need any extra packs to use it. Players on PC and Mac can type it right away without enabling testing cheats first. If you play on PlayStation or Xbox, the game treats this command as a cheat, so you must turn cheats on before it works.

How to enter the rosebud cheat for money
First, load your household so that you are in Live mode. Open the cheat console by pressing Ctrl + Shift + C on a PC, or Cmd + Shift + C on a Mac. On PlayStation and Xbox, press the four shoulder buttons at the same time to bring up the text box.
If you play on a console, type testingcheats true into the box and press Enter first. Next, type rosebud or kaching into the console and press Enter. You do not need to add any numbers or extra words after the command.
Your household funds increase by 1,000 Simoleons right away. You can repeat this step as many times as you want if you need more money for bills or furniture. Each entry adds the same fixed amount to your total balance.
Why the rosebud cheat might not work
If your money does not go up, check which mode you are currently using. The rosebud command is a Live mode code, so it fails if you type it from the neighborhood map or main menu. Load into an active lot with a family before you open the cheat box.
Check your spelling in the text bar as well. Type rosebud as one word with no spaces, or try typing its other name, kaching, instead. Do not put any numbers after the word, because the command does not take extra arguments.
Console players often run into issues if they skip the setup step. While PC and Mac users can use rosebud without testing cheats, PlayStation and Xbox players must turn cheats on first. Type testingcheats true, press Enter, and then enter rosebud again.
