Raise and Lower Skill Levels Thankfully, The Sims Studio has left behind some development tricks that allow us to manually adjust skills to any level we want. This page is a handy reference to avoid having to go through our huge Sims 4 Cheats page for the information you need. Here are the console commands you need to increase and / or decrease skills. Each cheat allows you to select the level you want your Sim to have. If you want to see each level up notification, you can do so by increasing the skill level one at a time: 5, 6, 7 etc.
How to use The Sims 4 skill cheats
Opening the console
Type Ctrl + Shift + C ) (Mac users make sure they are actually using the control and not the command). Type testingcheats on to allow the use of advanced cheats. A white box will appear at the top of the screen where you can type the following commands. Replace X with the level you want to set the Sim to. Remember that some select skills can reach level 5 as more sets are released.
Note the space between stats.set_skill_level and major_skill x . If you want to maximize all the skills, I’ve typed all of these so you can copy / paste them into the game, replace the x with the skill level (10 in most cases), and master all the skills pretty quickly.
