Debug Sim Cheats now Available on Sim Pie Menu

As shown in the screenshots below, any sim you control can click on themselves or any other sim on the lot, whether family, non family, homeless worker NPCs, absolutely anyone, and you can change a great many things about them.

By design you will see the "Cheat Sim Info..." always on from page of Pie Menus Options, no need to go looking through "More Options..." to find it.

Once opened there are a great many sim cheats to choose from.

 

Some of the same cheats appear in mods such as MCCC, the majority do not. Not everyone uses MCCC, and sometimes it's just quicker to click on sim and get it done instantly, rather than go through the step-to-step option levels on MCCC. But, as I say, the majority deal with cheat accessibility found nowhere else. And certainly not taking anything away from the dedicated, on going hard work Deaderpool has done with MCCC.

The mods here work fine with TwistedMexi's Debug cheat mod and with MCCCC's Debug Cheats Activated. They can all compliment each other to a lesser or greater extent depending on your cheat needs. I recommend you use them all together as I do, as the mods here may open many sim cheats for player's to use without need of MCCC's Debug setting being activated or TwistedMexi's mods making them work, but they are only "sim" cheats, not "object" cheats. They only effect things about sims, not other objects in the world. So you will still need MCCC and Twistedexi's mods for things like Debug Delete of an unwanted object. Or mods such as my Master Gardener Seasons mod, to do such things as spawn produce on a plant or make it instantly mature. TwistedMexi's mod is still very much needed for that stuff to work. For the foreseeable future I am only going to add sim cheats to the unlocked pie menu on sims. I have no plans to start opening object cheats to be non Debug.

There does need to be some due diligence applied to which cheats the mods here allow access to, depending on game setups. Much like the trait mods, some of those cheats should not be made available to players if they do not have the relevant packs installed. Otherwise it may cause the pie menu options when clicking on a sim to appear blank. Of course it's not something I've experienced as I have all packs to date, but other players are experiencing and reporting the blank pie menu options, so it's probably best to assume it's due to the same thing seen with non-installed traits causing disruptions when mods include partial coding referencing to those non-installed traits. Seems partial referencing to non-installed cheats can also do same.

To address this, I have separated the cheats from different packs to be in their own package files, so you should only use those mods if you have the relevant packs installed.

The Base Game version is the Alpha, and needs to be installed as it contains all the text strings for all pie menu options for all cheats. I did not want to include the same language text string XMLs in all the package files to avoid mod conflict detectors highlighting them all as conflicting, hence the Alpha. However, there are two mod files here that will be highlighted by conflict detectors as they do, unavoidably, have the same files. They are: The City Living mod and the Jungle Adventures mod, as each allows all hidden food recipes from their packs to be instantly learned. Separated, because a player may have one pack but not the other, conflicts as they resource to same game file that does the cheating. Though they are no true conflict in game so just ignore conflict warnings of these mods.

Update - July 2024 

Added the newer Maxis coding for separating Traits into different categories. Without this newer coding, this mod would display the traits in a random, messy, disorganized manner, so looking for single trait really was akin to looking for a needle in a very messy haystack. Now it's fixed and back to being alphabetically listed and organized.  Plus the toddler and infant quirk traits are now available on the Add and Remove Trait cheats.

 

Download - 

In folder below are several cheat mods relative to various TS4 packs. Only use each mod if you have the relevant pack installed. Do not use ones that you do not have installed packs for, as it will break Pie Menu options on sims if you do.

Wow nice! This will certainly be one I'll be adding cause I'm probably one of the few that do not use Mccc. Thanks!

To clarify something I was wondering about, @coolspear. Is this mod the same as TwistedMexi's Allcheats mod he has on his personal site? His didn't seem to include the later packs like Strangerville. I was thinking about switching to this one, but I don't see the Aging cheat in the pie menu from the pictures.

I'm not sure what you mean. Are you talking about TwistedMexi's mod that restores access to debug cheats after Maxis shut them down in the Seasons patch? If so, then no, the mods here are not quite the same thing. With his mod, you still need other cheats active to allow access to debug cheats in the first place, such as the setting on MCCC to give access. Then his mod will restore the missing debug cheats Maxis removed from player's using in Seasons patch.

The mods here just open them up directly on the sim so that no other fannying about with MCCC settings and extra access mods and reveal cheat codes are required. Here the debug cheat options are converted to normal options, and appear on sim just like all other normal options, as if that is all they are, normal options, not cheats.

In a nutshell, MCCC and TwistedMexi have come at it from the angle they agree with Maxis that cheats should be hidden and special mods and mechanisms are needed to reveal them. My stance is to the contrary, and I say fuck it, no hiding them at all, no jumping through hoops and extra shit needed to reveal them. Just let the sims have them as normal options in an extra, unhidden pie menu choice when clicking on any sim. Done.

However, there are more debug cheats in the game than the mods here current give availability to. The mods here work fine with TwistedMexi's Debug cheat mod and with MCCCC's Debug Cheats Activated. They can all compliment each other to a lesser or greater extent depending on your cheat needs. I recommend you use them all together as I do, as the mods here may open many sim cheats for player's to use without need of MCCC's Debug setting being activated or TwistedMexi's mods making them work, but they are only "sim" cheats, not "object" cheats. They only effect things about sims, not other objects in the world.

TwistedMexi's mod is still very much needed for that stuff to work. For the foreseeable future I am only going to add sim cheats to the unlocked pie menu on sims. I have no plans to start opening object cheats to be non Debug.

Also, are you saying the "Cheat Age..." pie option is not showing in your game after you install these mods? It's there in my game, I've just now checked. (TwitedMexi's cheat mod is currently not in my game, though I have it on standby just in case.) Age Cheat is part of the Base Game Alpha cheats. So I cannot see it going missing if all other Base Game cheats are showing. Have you any other mods that deal with the age cheat? I know there are some antiquated Age Cheat mods still knocking around on MTS. I can see any of them outdated relics conflicting if one happens to be in your mods folder.

 

Thanks for the mod! Makes things easier.

Regarding blank options . I also have this problem on some mods and I have all the contents of the sims 4 . Your mod WormholeTravel_TheHiddenEverywherePortal for example always pops up some blank options . Never find out why .

Sorry if it was hard to understand . I am Brazilian and never able to learn English properly (in public schools, which I know and went to, practically only teach to conjugate the verse To Be all year long, every year) . So I use Google Translate for everything . lol

However, there are more debug cheats in the game than the mods here current give availability to. So don't go scrapping your TwistedMexi cheat mod and turning off MCCC's open debug access settings just yet. Soon, but not just yet. But they can all be in your mods folder together without issue, if that's what you are concerned about.

Also, are you saying the "Cheat Age." pie option is not showing in your game after you install these mods? It's there in my game, I've just now checked.

Thank you very much for the mod, the description, and this post above. It makes it much clearer for me.

I appreciate both TwistedMexi's and Deaderpool's efforts in sharing mods that make the cheats visible and useful, but now that I read about your perspective, I think I agree with you more. I prefer to have them all as visible options than hidden cheats. Greedy me? YEAH!!! 

Sooooo!

Hi @MiyuDianaThe other problem with blank options is a known issue not caused by mods. It is a problem in the game core files that mods do expose, but they do not cause.

It happens when modders make extra sub pie menu options.

For instance, this mod starts with the first pie menu option on a sim called "Cheat Sim Info..." When clicking that it opens more sub pie menus option. Options that are not single, direct interactions, but yet another sub pie menu to open even more choices. Such as "Cheat Emotional Intensity..." Clicking on that opens even more choices, which are then single, direct interactions. Now, because Maxis made most of these sub menus in this mod, they will appear in all languages, no blank options.

However, some of them sub menu options were made by me, and they will appear blank in any other language but English. This is an oversight in the core files that I cannot change. It is an error that only mods can expose, but they do not cause. Maxis did not set it up for modded sub pie menu options to give the English text in all languages, hence in you game, running Brazilian language, it will be blank. Nothing I can do about that I'm afraid.

Other modders have also run into the same problem when making modded sub pie menus, so I'm not alone in "exposing" this game flaw with mods. Given it's an error that only mods can expose, I don't ever see Maxis bothering to fix the oversight.

There is a text document in the rar that explains this. But it is in English and it does cover a hard to understand subject, waffling on about sub pie menus. The irony being, most likely only English speaking players are likely to read it all, and they are the ones the glitch does not effect. You gotta hand it to irony. It's a proper trickster.

Thank you for clarifying the differences between these three mods, @coolspear. What I was saying was the picture itself not showing the Aging cheat. I've had trouble getting the Sims to bake cakes for the birthdays so I had to use the Aging Up/Down cheat to take care of the aging I do for my Sims. The cheat showed up fine in my game if you need to know.

Still, thank you for this one. I feel like I have more access to cheats we may not know we have. :)

In the screenshot picture it's on the first page of cheat options, the "Cheat Age..." option. (At 9 O'clock) Opening that gives options to Age Up or Age Down, direction availability depending on the current age of the sim. I dunno with Elders, though. If you force them to Age Up, they'll probably pop their clogs and become a ghost I should imagine.

Just to let everyone know I'll be adding a few more magic cheats to this, and other stuff, very soon. I finally had a chance to get in game a few hours ago and tinker with stuff. Seeing what's what.

But in the meantime always keep in mind the mods here work fine with TwistedMexi's Debug cheat mod and with MCCCC's Debug Cheats Activated. They can all compliment each other to a lesser or greater extent depending on your cheat needs. I recommend you use them all together as I do, as the mods here may open many sim cheats for player's to use without need of MCCC's Debug setting being activated or TwistedMexi's mods making them work, but they are only "sim" cheats, not "object" cheats. They only effect things about sims, not other objects in the world. So you will still need MCCC and Twistedexi's mods for things like Debug Delete of an unwanted object. Or mods such as my Master Gardener Seasons mod, to do such things as spawn produce on a plant or make it instantly mature. TwistedMexi's mod is still very much needed for that stuff to work. For the foreseeable future I am only going to add sim cheats to the unlocked pie menu on sims. I have no plans to start opening object cheats to be non Debug.

I thought it best to really make that clear, as reading through the opening post and other posts I've made in this thread I did not highlight this important info. Joking about scraping the other mods, in hindsight was silly, I was a bit of an asshat to even suggest it in humour. They will all be needed to continue making debug stuff work across the board. So keep them all in your mods folder if that's the way you want your wider world of cheats to carry on functioning. Sorry if I misled anyone for not being clearer.

Ahhhhh! I had not observed that. Thank you very much for pointing it out!!

@coolspear since I most likely won't be getting the magic pack, at least in the foreseeable future, if I use this mod it should just leave blank spots where those added items would be, correct?! It should still work as intended right?!? Just making sure. Thanks, for your continued works!

No, I've split the cheats up into separate package files relevant to their own packs. So just use the ones for the packs you have and it should be fine. I haven't uploaded any cheats for RoM as yet, but they too will be in their own package file once I do. All you need is the Alpha, for base game cheats, then any others for the packs you have installed.

Awesome thanks!

Bonjour @MiyuDiana L'autre problème avec les options vierges est un problème connu qui n'est pas causé par les mods. C'est un problème dans les fichiers de base du jeu que les mods exposent, mais ils ne le causent pas.

Cela se produit lorsque les moddeurs créent des options supplémentaires dans le menu de la tarte.

Par exemple, ce mod commence par la première option du menu de la tarte sur un sim appelé "Informations de triche sur la simulation .". Options qui ne sont pas des interactions simples et directes, mais encore un autre menu de camembert pour ouvrir encore plus de choix. Tels que "Cheat Intensité émotionnelle ." En cliquant sur, on ouvre encore plus de choix, qui sont alors des interactions simples et directes. Maintenant, étant donné que Maxis a créé la plupart de ces sous-menus dans ce mod, ils apparaîtront dans toutes les langues, pas d’option vide.

Cependant, certaines de ces options de sous-menu ont été créées par moi et elles apparaîtront en blanc dans toute autre langue que l'anglais. Il s'agit d'un oubli dans les fichiers de base que je ne peux pas modifier. C'est une erreur que seuls les mods peuvent exposer, mais ils ne causent pas. Maxis ne l'a pas configuré pour que les options du menu modded sub pie donnent le texte anglais dans toutes les langues. Par conséquent, dans votre jeu, en brésilien, il sera vide. Je ne crains rien.

D'autres modeurs ont également rencontré le même problème lors de la création de menus modded, ce qui fait que je ne suis pas le seul à "exposer" ce défaut de jeu avec les mods. Etant donné que c'est une erreur que seuls les mods peuvent exposer, je ne vois jamais Maxis prendre la peine de réparer cet oubli.

Il existe un document texte dans le rar qui explique cela. Mais il est en anglais et couvre un sujet difficile à comprendre, sur lequel se penchent les menus. L'ironie étant que seuls les joueurs anglophones liront probablement tout, ce sont eux qui ne sont pas affectés par le pépin. Tu dois passer à l'ironie. C'est un vrai filou.

Awesome Coolspear, I'm French-speaking, if you encounter language problems, you can see the clown script on MTS "Debug cheats", it was supported by Scumbumbo and it gives all the Cheats on the Sim and in foreign languages, if this can help you for the future if nobody supports this script anymore

This is a real time saver. Thanks.

Personal update October 2019

This version of the mod is more advanced than the one from the 1.55 update bundle rar. More new cheats added to give any sim one of the occults including RoM Spellcaster Traits - (Use the Remove Traits cheat if you want them to quit the occult by removing all hidden, relevant occult traits from sim.) Added many Spellcaster Cheats. Tidied up the higgledy-piggledy, "all over the shop" pie menus as seen when using debug cheats the Maxis way, so they all come under the one Sim Cheat pie menu option. (Well, I've been doing that with some from the start anyway, but certainly had to do it again with RoM Spellcaster cheats.)

Replace all older files you were using as all have either had new files added or the mod itself renamed and renumbered - renumbered to make gaps in list space for cheats from previous packs I may yet add if I find any worthwhile including to this mod set.

And remember to only use cheats from packs you have installed or your sims pie menu options may get real messy or all go blank.   

Thank you! I can't live without this mod! 

I use both MCCC and TMex's mod along with yours.  I am extremely grateful for your approach using the Sim Pie Menu because I play on a touchscreen tablet most of the time and having to shift-click or open multiple dialog boxes is a major hassle.  I took all mods out before patching this week and I've been reminded again how tedious play can be without your Pie Menu.  :) Thanks very much for all your contributions that make Simming more fun!

Kitte 

Miss you bunches coolspear hope your doing good.  Just wanted to list that I had to pull out cool1_sim_ManyCheatsAvailableClickOnSim_NonDebug5_GetTogetherEP.package it was causing an LE, but I still have the rest in.  So if your like me and still grasping on to the functional mods from coolspear and getting LE try this one.

If you're patched beyond 1.62, then it very well could be causing an LE. I would not know. Maxis may have tinkered with an older Get Together cheat to make it work with newer elements in Eco pack and beyond.

 

The good news is, there is only actually one single cheat I gave the treatment to in that Number 5 for Get Together. Travelling to a Rabbit Hole venue - what is it,  an Opera or some such? TBH I've never used that Rabbit Hole ever, not once, so if it has to go because of LEs now spamming, - Batuu Rabbit Hole update malarkey maybe? - then okay, no big shakes. Just have to go to the Opera the default way. Which for me means never anyway   - I can't stand Rabbit Holes.
