How we checked: on November 7, 2026 we ran The Sims 4's own script code, version 1.128.90.1030 (base game), on a test save with Bella and Mortimer Goth. We typed each line through the game's own cheat command handler and read the funds, skills, careers, needs, traits and relationships before and after. The run has no graphics, so engine cheats like bb.moveobjects and cas.fulleditmode, which live in the game's C++ engine, are marked "from the game files": their help text is in the game's program file.
