The Sims 4 Toddler cheats to increase skills, traits, needs & more
Read here for all The Sims 4 Toddler cheats including cheats to solve need decay, max out their needs, skills across all levels, and more.
With Toddlers being just as much of a handful (and delight) as they can be in real life in The Sims 4, there are a few cheats which can make their (and your other Sims') lives a lot easier, especially if you have several on a lot or are attempting a Legacy Challenge.
Whether you're experiencing hardships with Parenthood in the game, need to make Toddlers slightly less needy, or want to instantly max out their skills before they age up, we have you covered.
How to cheat Toddler needs in The Sims 4
If you're looking to raise a Toddler's needs in-game, you can do it like so:
|
Cheat |
Code |
|
Fill Hunger Bar |
fillmotive motive_hunger |
|
Max Hygiene |
fillmotive motive_hygiene |
|
Max Attention |
fillmotive motive_attention |
|
Max Bladder |
fillmotive motive_bladder |
|
Max Energy |
fillmotive motive_energy |
|
Max Fun |
fillmotive motive_fun |
|
Max All Needs |
sims.fill_all_commodities |
Additionally, there are some great mods (like UI Cheats Extension and MC Command Center) that can entirely remove the need to use these, but the codes themselves are always handy in a pinch.
How to max out all needs & disable need decay
Alternatively, you can instantly fill up all the need bars or disable motive decay to permanently put your Toddlers in a good mood. To do so:
- Enable cheats in your game with 'testing cheats on'
- Hold down Shift and left-click on your selected sim
- Click the 'Cheat Need…' option from the pie menu
- You will receive the options to disable motive decay or 'Make Happy' (instantly fill all needs)
If you want to advance your Toddler's skills and make them more independent, there's a handful of cheats you can use:
|
Cheat |
Code |
|
Potty Skill |
stats.set_skill_level statistic_skill_toddler_potty # |
|
Thinking Skill |
stats.set_skill_level statistic_skill_toddler_thinking # |
|
Communication Skill |
stats.set_skill_level statistic_skill_toddler_communication # |
|
Imagination Skill |
stats.set_skill_level statistic_skill_toddler_imagination # |
|
Movement Skill |
stats.set_skill_level statistic_skill_toddler_movement # |
When entering them, you'll want to replace the hashtag shown in the above table with the number you want to set the Toddler's skill to.
For example, if you want your Toddler to achieve level 3 of the potty skill, the cheat would be 'stats.set_skill_level statistic_skill_toddler_potty 3' (without the single quotes).
Other than maxing your Toddler's needs and skills, you can also apply specific moodlets to them to affect their mood and skill gain, or apply special traits:
|
Moodlet cheat |
Effect |
|
sims.add_buff PlayfulHigh |
Applies the playful moodlet to your toddler |
|
sims.add_buff EnergizedHigh |
Applies the energized moodlet to your toddler |
|
Sims.remove_all_buffs |
Removes all moodlet buffs affecting your toddler |
| traits.equip_trait trait_top_notch_toddler | Equips a Toddler with the 'Top Notch Toddler' trait |
| traits.equip_trait trait_happy_toddler | Adds the 'Happy Toddler' trait to a Sim |
While there are the above cheats for Toddlers, if you also want to change their appearance or edit their traits another way, you can enter the full version of Create a Sim by using the CAS Full Edit Mode code.
The cheat code for this is 'cas.fulleditmode on'. After entering this, hold Shift and left-click on your Toddler.
You'll then see an 'Edit in CAS' option in the pie menu, which will allow you to adjust their traits or edit their appearance just as when you created them or one of their family members.
How to add Toddler quirks
Toddler quirks are essentially extra personality traits that can impact their behaviour or response to certain household activities.
Each Toddler can have up to three at one time, which can appear randomly through gameplay. Of course, you can also cheat and assign particular quirks to them too (if you have Growing Together installed).
To get more quirks via cheats:
- Enable cheats in your game through the 'testingcheats on' command
- Hold shift and click on your toddler (whilst on their sim profile)
- Select the option 'Pack Cheats...'
- Click 'Expansion Packs'
- Click 'Ep-13 Growing Together'
- Select 'Toddler Quirks'
- Choose 'Add Discoverable Quirk'
- Select a quirk from the list
- You can also remove Quirks through the previous menu if you have some already assigned to the Toddler
- You can now discover these quirks by triggering the associated gameplay. For example, if you chose 'Hates Being Carried', you can pick up your Toddler to receive the quirk notification
NOTE: It's possible to have more than three quirks if you are using cheats, as long as these don’t conflict with one another.
There are a total of 18 toddler quirks you can choose from:
| Quirk | Effect |
| Aggressive | Toddlers with this trait like to roughhouse, hit bite or kick sims and don’t need to be in a bad mood to do so |
| Destructive | Toddlers with this trait will be more chaotic and are likely to make a mess or destroy furniture |
|
Early Riser |
Will wake up earlier in the day |
| Good Appetite | These toddlers love food, to the point that they can eat food off the floor even if it's spoiled |
| Hastes Bedtime | Toddlers with this trait will often wake after being put to bed and will ask their caregiver for things to avoid sleeping |
| Hates Being Carried | Picking up toddlers with this trait will often put them in a bad mood |
| Hates Wakeup Time | More likely to wake up in a grumpy mood |
| Heavy Sleeper | Less likely to wake up from nightmares or surrounding noise. Will usually get better rest than other toddlers |
| Loves Being Carried | More likely to ask to be carried and are happy when carried |
| Loves Books | More likely to play in bookshelves and do book-related activities |
| Loves Sounds | Toddlers with this quirk tend to be fascinated by radios, TVs and toys that make sounds |
| Loves Wakeup Time | More likely to be in a happy mood when waking |
| Loves Water | These toddlers love to play in water and are more likely to ask for baths, splash in toilets or seek out other water activities |

| Light Sleeper | These toddlers are more likely to wake in the night and will need to be put back to bed again |
| Messy Eater | More likely to cause a mess when eating |
| Picky Eater | These toddlers are harder to feed and will sometimes throw food on the floor instead of eating |
| Wanderer | Toddlers with this trait will often wander off alone after being put down |
