Trait Cheats

The following Sims 4 Eco Lifestyle cheats will allow you to apply special hidden/reward traits to any Sim you want! Gain career reward traits without working for them or give specific Sims the NPC roles of Master Crafter, Eco Master, and Entrepreneur.

These trait cheats are the only cheats in this article that can be used without activating testing cheats. This means console players can use them without having to disable their trophies and achievements.

traits.equip_trait trait_makerNPC – Applies the hidden NPC role of Master Crafter to the active Sim. They may not retain this role if you continue to play as them.
traits.equip_trait trait_eco_master – Applies the hidden NPC role of Eco Master to the active Sim. They may not retain this role if you continue to play as them.
traits.equip_trait trait_entrepreneur – Applies the hidden NPC role of Entrepreneur to the active Sim. They may not retain this role if you continue to play as them.

traits.equip_trait trait_MasterMaker – Applies the aspiration reward trait Muse of the Maker to the active Sim.
traits.equip_trait trait_Fizzyhead – Applies the Juice Fizzing skill reward trait Affizzionado to the active Sim

To remove any of these traits, just replace the word “equip” with “remove” and you can get rid of the trait if you don’t want your Sim to have it anymore.

Eco Lifestyle Skill Cheats

Eco Lifestyle comes with two new skills; Fabrication and Juice Fizzing. You can use the following Sims 4 Eco Lifestyle cheats to advance in these skills.

stats.set_skill_level AdultMinor_JuiceFizzing X – Set your Juice Fizzing skill level. Replace X with a number between 1 and 5.
stats.set_skill_level AdultMajor_Fabrication X – Set your Juice Fizzing skill level. Replace X with a number between 1 and 10.

Eco Footprint Cheats

Changing your neighbourhood’s Eco Footprint is hard work… unless you use cheats, of course!

eco_footprint.set_eco_footprint_state 1 – Sets the eco footprint to a Neutral state.
eco_footprint.set_eco_footprint_state 2 – Sets the eco footprint to an Industrial state.

Death Cheats

If you want to kill your Sims, Eco Lifestyle offers two new ways to do that! Here are The Sims 4 Eco Lifestyle cheats for the pack’s death types.

Since these cheats are technically trait cheats, they can be used without enabling testing cheats.

traits.equip_trait trait_Ghost_Flies – Death by Flies
traits.equip_trait trait_Ghost_Beetle – Well Mixed Bug Drink

You can also instantly resurrect Sims the same way you remove traits. Just replace the word “equip” with “remove.”

SHIFT+Click Eco Lifestyle Cheats

Eco Lifestyle’s most powerful cheats actually lie hidden in objects like the mailbox, community board, and fabricator. They just need to be unlocked first by enabling testing cheats. With testing cheats active, PC/Mac players can SHIFT+Click on a number of objects to bring up cheat options for them. On console, you can bring up the same options by pressing X+O (PS) or A+B (Xbox) while the cursor is hovering over an object.

Enact/Repeal NAPs – Bring up cheat options on a mailbox or community board to instantly enact or repeal NAPs without having to go through the voting or appeal process.
Choose Community Space Project – Bring up cheat options on a mailbox or community board and choose Instant Enact Community Space Project; you’ll be able to choose whether you want the local community space to be a maker space, a marketplace, or a community garden without having to go through the voting process.
Gain Influence Points – Bring up cheat options on a mailbox or community board and select Give Sim Influence. This gives your Sim 15 influence points. Use this cheat as many times as you want for infinite influence.
Get Bits and Pieces – Bring up cheat options on a fabricator machine and choose Give Bits and Pieces. You’ll get 50 bits and 50 pieces for a total of 100. Use this cheat as many times as you want for infinite bits and pieces.

Improve the quality of Sims 4 Bathroom Clutter Kit with these Mods!

Functional Light Switches, Lit Candles and more – check out the first Sims 4 Bathroom Clutter Mods!

Just a few short days after the release of Sims 4 Bathroom Clutter, the community was quick to throw in some major mod improvements for the Kit!

Some of the new objects from this Kit weren’t in their finest look, with the biggest dip being in the texture and mesh quality of the items.

2023 01 20 12 51 21 297 SunflowerSyrupGShade — *Full gallery of Sims 4 Bathroom Clutter Kit*

The main approach to some of these objects is that they’re better when looked far away. After all, they’re just clutter items that should fill in the space. Still, the attention to some of the objects’ details, or lack thereof, makes the game’s art style immersion a bit harder to achieve.

If you’ve gotten the new Kit or plan doing so, we recommend some of these Mods to help improve your immersion and add new function to the Kit’s items! There are 3 great Mods listed, including improvements to the Candle, Light Switch Functionality and various improvements for the organiser Clutter item.

The Sims 4 Kits: Bathroom Clutter Overview

Solid concept. Flimsy execution.

The Sims 4 recently added two new kits to its ever-growing DLC collection; the Simtimates Collection Kit and the Bathroom Clutter Kit. Both kits are designed to fill in gaps in content that currently exist in the game. The Bathroom Clutter Kit aims to fill out the sparse bathroom options available in Build/Buy through clutter pieces that personalise a bathroom space.

This Sims 4 kit comes with a total of 31 decorative objects for bathrooms, including toilet and bath mats, a new plunger and toilet brush combo, towels, electric toothbrushes, wall decals and many more odds and ends that one might find lying around someone’s bathroom. The items are intended to aid visual storytelling about the Sims that use the space. Many of the items have both neutral and more childlike colour options so they can be used in large, messy family bathrooms and in more tidy, polished bathrooms.

As usual, Sims Community has taken the liberty of compiling every catalogue entry for you! We also have close up shots of every item in-game in every available swatch. We’ve left no stone unturned with this Sims 4 kit so let’s dive right in and check out all the new objects!

Our Review of The Sims 4 Bathroom Clutter Kit

We really wanted to love this Sims 4 kit. We did. And there are some aspects of this kit that we do love, but unfortunately, it falls short in several areas. We can’t deny that this is a solid concept for a kit. The last clutter kit got a wonderful review from us and we were excited about the possibilities for more visual storytelling in this kit.

In that respect, this kit delivers. There are so many charming little items that tell fantastic stories about the Sims that live there. The false teeth in a glass tells you that an elder lives in the household. The messy storage box bursting with jewellery and bobby pins points to the presence of a teenage girl in the home, and all of the adorable wall decals and voidcritter-themed objects are perfect for children. We must point out objects we needed, too, like a toilet plunger/brush and a mat that fits around toilets perfectly.

Blurry textures and low-poly meshes are NOT the vibe

So where did The Sims 4 Bathroom Clutter Kit go wrong? Well, it’s the quality of the objects for us. At first glance, everything seems amazing but when you stop and take a closer look at things, shortcuts become more apparent. Meshes are disappointingly low-poly even when playing on ultra graphics settings. Textures are blurry and in some cases, parts of objects have just been painted onto surfaces. You can see that some parts of the meshes are so flat that they disappear underneath our backdrop rug. The empty toothpaste and the hair dryer are the two worst offenders but there are so many other objects that just look fake the closer you look at them.

We realise The Sims Team needs to ensure their content runs well on multiple platforms, but this kit is still a huge step down in quality from the Everyday Clutter Kit, which had beautiful textures. If players are paying $5 for decorative clutter, that clutter should be of the highest quality. We don’t understand why the objects in this Sims 4 kit are not of the same quality as previous clutter kits. It’s sloppy and disappointing. There are also two light switches in this pack that serve no purpose; what a missed opportunity to add light dimmer controls to those objects. We just can’t recommend this kit for $5 unless The Sims Team fixes these issues. It’s a shame because otherwise, this would have been a fantastic kit. The concept was flawless, but the execution was lacking.

The Sims 4 Kits: Simtimates Collection Overview

Eggplant undies? Eggplant undies!

It’s time for a new Sims 4 CAS kit! This one is called The Sims 4 Simtimates Collection! As the title suggests, this kit caters to intimate underwear and lingerie for both feminine and masculine framed Sims. The Sims collaborated with popular underwear fashion brand, MeUndies, to design an intimate clothing collection that looks flattering on any body type. We love inclusive content! You know what we also love? Eggplant undies! Yup, this kit’s got ’em!

The Simtimates Collection Kit comes with a total of 24 tops, bottoms, and full body outfits for feminine and masculine adult Sims in the sleepwear category. It does not come with any new hairstyles, shoes/slippers, hats, or other accessories. It also does not come with any content for any age groups outside of teen-elder. This should come as no surprise, given the more adult nature of this particular kit. There are a lot of ways to mix and match different outfit combinations with this Sims 4 kit; most of the items are separate tops and bottoms, many of which look good together. There are a few full body outfit options to quickly dress your Sim, too.

Let’s check out each clothing item in The Sims 4 Simtimates Collection Kit!

Everything included with Sims 4 Simtimates Collection Kit

All items included in the Simtimates Collection Kit are pictured below in three of our personal favourite swatches; however, these are not all the swatches available. Almost every clothing piece in this kit comes with 12 or more swatches.

Our Review

If we’re being perfectly honest, we think this kit is worth the $5 price tag for the eggplant swatch undies alone. It’s hilarious and we never expected The Sims Team to do something so funny and a little risky in a kit like this that is already a little risqué. We love that slightly NSFW pop culture reference so much.

Eggplant undies aside, there is a lot to love about this Sims 4 CAS kit. For one thing, it fulfills a genuine gap in the game. It’s been eight years and up until now, we had next to nothing in the sleepwear category. And we certainly didn’t have much selection when it comes to flirty and sexy undergarments. Having more lingerie options is greatly appreciated. For another thing, the items are not exclusively flattering to slim body types. The cut and style of many of the items are designed to flatter larger Sims, too. This is so important for body positivity and a step in the right direction for The Sims Team. We have to give credit where credit is due. They really nailed it with that body positive approach.

We also really love the swatch selection. No, not just because of the eggplant undies. There’s an excellent balance of fun patterns, flirty patterns, and solid colours to suit any Sim’s personal taste in this Sims 4 Kit. Between the variety of cuts, styles, and swatches, your Sims can really express who they are with this kit. Elegant, sophisticated, flirty, fun, silly, there’s something for every kind of Sim.

Honestly, we can’t find a single thing about this kit that we don’t like! If we have any criticism, it’s probably that we would have liked to see closer to 30 or so items for this kit, since it doesn’t offer any accessories or options for other age groups. Still, we love what’s in the kit. It’s useful, it’s expressive and fun and inclusive! The Sims 4 Simtimates Collection gets a big thumbs up from us!

The Sims 4 Vampire Mods to Improve Your Occult Gameplay

The Sims 4 Vampire Mods to Improve Your Occult Gameplay

Give your creatures of the night a custom upgrade!

If there’s one thing The Sims 4 has done well, it’s occult gameplay. Each occult pack we’ve gotten has greatly expanded upon previous incarnations of that occult type. Fantasy and supernatural players have no shortage of fun and immersive gameplay for their vampires, spellcasters, werewolves, and more. That doesn’t mean there’s no room for improvement, though. Every player has their own idea of what they want their gameplay to look like. Occult Sims are no different. For vampire enthusiasts, we’ve compiled a list of some of the best Sims 4 vampire mods to enhance your game!

The Sims 4 Vampire Mods

Plasma Packs from Plasma Fruit

Creator: LittleMsSam

Isn’t it weird that plasma fruit trees exist for the sole purpose of feeding vampires, but you can’t use them to make plasma packs? Why on earth would your vampires fish and hunt frogs for plasma when they have a whole plasma fruit orchard in their backyard? LittleMsSam has solved this problem by allowing you to convert your plasma fruit into plasma packs! The best part? Plasma packs made with plasma fruit satisfy 50% more thirst than other plasma packs.

Download

Vampire Tweaks Mod

Creator: Airianna

This creator has tweaked and improved several aspects of vampire gameplay that were a little clunky or just plain didn’t make any sense. With this mod, your vampires will autonomously dark meditate whenever they are standing idle which will help them replenish their vampire energy more easily. Reward traits like Hardly Hungry and Seldom Sleepy will now affect vampires, too. Their thirst and vampire energy will decay slower. This mod even fixes some glitches for vampires who get turned into skeletons in Selvadorada.

Download

New Vampire Powers

Creator: LittleMsSam

If you’re bored of the same set of vampire powers, LittleMsSam has another treat for you! She’s added several new vampire powers that can help your vampires overcome weaknesses, such as being able to eat human food, sunlight immunity and turning unwilling Sims into willing participants for drinking plasma. They can also enable or disable their reflections in a mirror.

Download

Vampirify Vampire Creation Spell

Creator: r3m

Technically, this mod is for spellcasters but players who want more interaction between different occults are going to love this! This mod adds a new spell for spellcasters that can turn Sims into vampires. It’s much deeper than that, though. This spell can only be learned by building the Vampire Lore skill as a spellcaster and there are many different potential outcomes. The spell can also cure vampires and reveal the true identities of other occults, like aliens.

Download

Vampire Initiation Ritual

Creator: IlkaVelle

Becoming a vampire is a big deal, and it’s for eternity. So shouldn’t the game treat it like its a big deal? This modder has created a Vampire Initiation Ritual social event to make becoming a vampire feel more immersive. Be turned by a senior vampire with the entire clan there to observe your initiation into the world of darkness. Your newly turned vampires will be rewarded with vampire goodies depending on how well they do in the event.

Download

Vampire Career

Creator: TIaraM

This career track for vampires is incredible! Choose from three different branches that focus on different aspects of vampire life and follow a story about a clan called the Corvinus clan as you rise in the ranks and earn promotions. The career is almost like a vampire side quest with different outcomes. It’s pretty awesome that a modder thought of this clever way to use careers.

Download

Werewolves Mod

Creator: SpinningPlumbobs

We know what you’re thinking. This is a mod about werewolves, not vampires but don’t be so quick to dismiss it! This mod has a lot of vampire gameplay! Vampires and werewolves have a grudge against each other and vampires are highly allergic to werewolf venom! If they do manage to survive a werewolf bite, they just might become a hybrid; half vampire, half werewolf with special abilities unique to these hybrids! Read all about them in our mod walkthrough!

Top 15 Highest Paid Careers in The Sims 4

Want to get rich? Pick the right career!

The Sims 4 has an almost endless number of ways to get rich. The most obvious way to make money is by joining a career! Earn promotions to make your way to the top of your career and you might become the next Nancy Landgraab. Not all careers are created equal, though, so if you want to set your Sim up for success, this article can help. We’ll be breaking down the highest paying careers in The Sims 4 in both the base game and DLC packs!

The Sims 4 Highest Paid Careers

Thank you to our good friend Carl over at Carl’s Sims 4 Guide for providing payout calculations for some of these careers!

Top 5 Highest Paying Careers in The Sims 4: Base Game

Style Influencer (Stylist)

Hourly Pay: $500
Daily Pay: $3,000
Weekly Pay: $15,000

For players with just the base game, the Style Influencer career is going to be their money ticket. Relatively low hours with a high hourly pay means a lot of reward for little effort. Players who enjoy spending hours in CAS will especially love this career because you’ll be able to make money through giving all the townies makeovers.

Style Influencer (Trend Setter)

Hourly Pay: $451
Daily Pay: $2,706
Weekly Pay: $13,530

The Style Influencer career makes another appearance with the Trend Setter branch. This career branch isn’t too different from the stylist branch, though, so if you’re torn on which career path to take, we’d recommend the Stylist branch. The duties are very similar but you make more money.

Business (Investor)

Hourly Pay: $406
Daily Pay: $3,248
Weekly Pay: $12,992

Naturally, if you go into Business, you can expect to make money. That’s the whole point of business. While this is one of the highest paying careers in the base game, the downside is that it’s a lot of hours, especially at lower levels of the career. Your Sims will be trapped in the daily grind and be stressed out and overworked the majority of the time. Ah, capitalism…

Astronaut (Interstellar Smuggler)

Hourly Pay: $413
Daily Pay: $3,717
Weekly Pay: $11,151

If you want to make a cushy living at the top level of your career without having to work much, this is the ideal career for you. The Interstellar Smuggler branch of the Astronaut career only requires you to work 3 days a week, so even though you’re not making as much as a stylist, you have a lot more free time on your hands to enjoy your earnings.

Secret Agent (Villain)

Hourly Pay: $515
Daily Pay: $2,575
Weekly Pay: $10,300

The Secret Agent career rounds off our top 5 list for the base game. If you want to make the most of this career’s potential earnings, you need to be devious and join the Villain branch. This career is best suited to Evil or Mean Sims with the Public Enemy or Chief of Mischief aspirations.

Top 10 Highest Paying Careers in The Sims 4: DLC Packs

What we want in The Sims 4 Get To Work (Part 2) / Detective Career

Military (Covert Operator & Operator) – StrangerVille

Hourly Pay: $422
Daily Pay: $3,376
Weekly Pay: $16,880

StrangerVille should be your top pick for DLC packs if you’re after lucrative careers. The military career it comes with is by far the best career based on pay alone. Both branches will net you $16,880 each week, so you’re free to pick the branch you like the most. You can also choose to work from home and earn the same pay so it’s quite a versatile career.

Gardener (Botanist) – Seasons

Hourly Pay: $420
Daily Pay: $2,940
Weekly Pay: $14,700

The Seasons expansion pack is a fan favourite for many different reasons; it adds a lot to a Sim’s everyday life, but it also comes with one of the highest paying careers in The Sims 4. You wouldn’t think digging around in the dirt all day would be lucrative, but if you join the Botanist branch of the Gardener career, you’ll be raking in $14,700 each week at the top level. This is another career that allows you to work from home.

Civil Designer (Civic Planner) – Eco Lifestyle

Hourly Pay: $350
Daily Pay: $3,150
Weekly Pay: $12,600

While you’d make a lot more money as a botanist or military officer, being a civic planner comes with other rewards, like a reward trait called Champion of the People which gives you more sway in your community, and the ability to fabricate special career-only items. If you want to make the most of the Eco Lifestyle expansion, this is a good career choice.

Social Media (Public Relations) – City Living

Hourly Pay: $453
Daily Pay: $3,171
Weekly Pay: $12,684

City Living is a great expansion for extroverted and social Sims. One of the highest paying careers in The Sims 4 is the Social Media career. Specifically, the Public Relations branch. This career also has the potential to earn you extra money on the side through your social media presence. It’s a work from home career, too, which means flexible hours.

Law (Private Attorney) – Discover University

Hourly Pay: $450
Daily Pay: $3,150
Weekly Pay: $12,600

While you earn a lot more per hour as a private attorney, you work less hours (that’s what paralegals are for, right?) so overall, you’ll be making the same amount of money each week as you would if you were a civic planner. Still, who doesn’t want to be able to brag about being a lawyer? This could be a good career choice for your ambitious college graduates.

Doctor – Get To Work

Hourly Pay: $280
Daily Pay: $2,800
Weekly Pay: $11,200

The Doctor career is an active career so it only has one branch. You would think doctors would make the most money out of every career but not so. They pull in $11,200 a week at the top level, which is still high but not nearly as much as some other careers. The benefits of being a doctor are pretty good, though. You can predict the gender of unborn babies, you get a trait that makes you more resistant to illness, and active careers are a lot more fun than other careers because you get to play your Sim at work.

Scientist – Get To Work

Hourly Pay: $247
Daily Pay: $2,223
Weekly Pay: $11,115

The overall weekly pay for a scientist is just slightly below a doctor but they get some pretty great perks! Scientists can have breakthroughs which allow them to discover and build new inventions, including a cloning machine, a satellite that can make contact with aliens, and a wormhole generator that allows you to travel to the alien planet of Sixam. If you are an alien enthusiast, becoming a scientist is a great way to meet some!

Detective – Get To Work

Hourly Pay: $265
Daily Pay: $2,120
Weekly Pay: $10,600

Detective is the lowest-paying active career that comes with Get To Work but it does still make the top 15 list. If you love watching cop shows on TV, this career is for you. Travel to crime scenes with your Sim, interview witnesses, collect evidence, and piece all the clues together to put the bad guy in jail. This is a very fun, exciting career to play through.

Gardener (Floral Designer) – Seasons

Hourly Pay: $350
Daily Pay: $2,100
Weekly Pay: $10,500

The Gardener career makes a second appearance on our top 15 list! If designing floral arrangements is more appealing to you than studying the science of plants, you should consider the floral designer branch of the Gardener career. The pay is decent and you’ll be able to spend your time building your Flower Arranging skill. It’s worth mentioning that you can make a killing on the side by selling the arrangements you make for work. Some arrangements are worth big money if you have the flowers on hand to save money on crafting costs.

Politician (Politician) – City Living

Hourly Pay: $340
Daily Pay: $2,100
Weekly Pay: $9,520

The politician career will net you $9,520 at the top level and will require your Sim to be extremely extroverted. They will have to greet Sims daily and promote their political platform. They’ll also be hosting a lot of events and fundraisers to raise money for their political campaign and/or charitable organizations. This career is best suited to Outgoing Sims with the Friend of the World aspiration.

More Earnings

The Sims 4 Assets / Highest Paying Careers

Keep in mind that all of the above careers list the base pay. You could earn more depending on your Sim’s education level and how many raises they earn throughout their career.

It’s also important to remember that overall, 9-5 careers are the least lucrative way to make a living in The Sims 4. You can earn far more through selling paintings, publishing books, and licensing songs. Gig-based careers such as the base game freelance careers and the Interior Decorator career from the Dream Home Decorator DLC also have the potential to make you far richer. The issue with calculating earnings for these careers is the earnings aren’t consistent; your skill level, which jobs you take, your clients’ satisfaction, and how many jobs you complete in a week will all change your pay drastically. Basically, with these careers, the more you hustle, the more you make.
