Whether you're cultivating the perfect storyline for your higher-education-bound Sims, or simply want to rush through some of Discover University's gameplay to get to another stage in life, there's a whole host of cheats that can be used.

The Sims 4's Discover University Expansion Pack added new hobbies, skills, and careers alongside that all-important shiny new set of cheats in the game to dive into - so here's how to use them all.

In the table below, you'll see cheats for both 'BA' and 'BS'. BA is for Britechester University and BS is for Foxbury Institute.

The types of degrees available are degrees, degrees with honours, distinguished degrees, and distinguished degrees with honours - the latter of which is indicated by 'Honors' at the end of the code.

Distinguished degrees explained

Distinguished degrees, and whether your Sim can have one will depend on what university they attend as each offers them in different subjects.

Foxbury Institute offers distinguished degrees in the following subjects:

  • Biology
  • Computer Science
  • Economics
  • Physics
  • Psychology
  • Villainy

On the other side of the world, the University of Britechester offers distinguished degrees for:

  • Art History
  • Communications
  • Culinary Arts
  • Drama
  • Fine Art
  • History
  • Language and Literature

Discover University introduced two new skills to the game, robotics and research and debate skills.

To cheat these to their max levels, you'll need the following codes:

Skill Cheat
Research and Debate stats.set_skill_level Major_ResearchDebate X
Robotics stats.set_skill_level Major_Robotics X

All you'll need to change about these codes when entering them in-game is to replace the 'X' with the number of the level you wish your Sim to reach. For example, you could do 'stats.set_skill_level Major_ResearchDebate 3' if you just want to give them a little headstart in the skill.

Five new careers arrived in Discover University, with some being perfect for your post grads, and others being more suited to Sims during their studying days. You can promote your Sims that have been assigned these careers in a jiffy with the following codes:

Career

Cheat

Education

careers.promote careers_Adult_Education

Engineering

careers.promote careers_Adult_Engineering

Law

careers.promote careers_Adult_Law

E-Sports Volunteer

careers.promote careers_Volunteer_E-Sports

Soccer Team Volunteer

careers.promote careers_Volunteer_SoccerTeam

If you want your Sim to go down a career level, simply replace the word 'promote' to 'demote' in the cheat, and they'll fall one rank down in the ladder.

Foxbury Institute in The Sims 4

Use the following cheats to instantly join any of the new societies introduced with Discover University. If you wish to leave the group at any point, you just repeat the same code into the cheat box:

Society

Cheat

Britechester Art Society

Loot.Apply_To_Sim Loot_Organization_JoinOrQuit_Art SimName

Britechester Debate Guild

Loot.Apply_To_Sim Loot_Organization_JoinOrQuit_Debate SimName

Britechester Spirit Corps

Loot.Apply_To_Sim Loot_Organization_JoinOrQuit_Prank SimName

Foxbury Bot Savants

Loot.Apply_To_Sim Loot_Organization_JoinOrQuit_Robotics SimName

Foxbury Brainiacs

Foxbury Spirit Squad

Loot.Apply_To_Sim Loot_Organization_JoinOrQuit_Party SimName

Order of Enchantment Secret Society

Loot.Apply_To_Sim Loot_Organization_JoinOrQuit_Secret SimName

Now you've joined the society of your choice, you can use the following cheats to increase your rank (up to level three) within them:

Society Rank

Cheat

Britechester Art Society

Stats.Set_Stat RankedStatistic_CollegeOrganization_Progress_ArtSociety 1

Britechester Debate Guild

Stats.Set_Stat RankedStatistic_CollegeOrganization_Progress_Debate 1

Foxbury Spirit Squad

Stats.Set_Stat RankedStatistic_CollegeOrganization_Progress_SchoolSpirit_Party 1

Order of Enchantment Secret Society

Stats.Set_Stat RankedStatistic_CollegeOrganization_Progress_SecretSociety 1

For every society, to increase to level, use the following numbers at the end of the cheat code:

  • For level one - 1
  • Level two - 166
  • Level three - 333

For example, if you wanted to get to level three of the Art Society, the cheat would look like this 'Stats.Set_Stat RankedStatistic_CollegeOrganization_Progress_ArtSociety 333'.
