The Sims 4: Aging and death cheats

Aging and dying are part of the game, but you can control both. Stopping aging does not even need a code, because there is a setting in the game options. To move a Sim's age forward or back, you use cas.fulleditmode. On the death side, death.toggle turns death off completely, while the ghost traits turn a Sim into a ghost with the death type you choose. Remove the same trait and the ghost comes back to life.

Stops aging

Game Options → Gameplay → Auto-Age

A game setting that needs no code. While it is off, Sims do not age on their own, and you use a birthday cake to age them up. There are separate boxes for played and unplayed Sims.

Changes a Sim's age

cas.fulleditmode → Shift + left-click → Modify in CAS

Moves a Sim to any age group you like, and making them younger works too. The change takes effect as soon as you leave the screen.

  1. Type testingcheats true in the console.
  2. Type cas.fulleditmode in the console.
  3. Shift-click the Sim and use the Modify in CAS option.
  4. Change the age group and leave the screen.
Check the aspiration and traits of a Sim whose age changed, because children and adults have different options.

Turns a Sim into a ghost

traits.equip_trait trait_Ghost_OldAge

Turns the selected Sim into a ghost who died of old age. For another death type, change the trait name; the generator on this page lists them all.

Note which death type you gave, because you need the same trait name to revive the Sim.

Brings a ghost back to life

traits.remove_trait trait_Ghost_OldAge

Remove the ghost trait and the Sim comes back to life. The trait name must match the Sim's death type, such as OldAge for old age or Fire for a fire death.

Aging and death cheats: Common questions

How do you stop aging in The Sims 4?
No code is needed. Open the Gameplay section of the game options and turn off the auto-age setting. There are two separate settings, one for played and one for unplayed Sims. You can also change the lifespan on the same screen.
How do I bring a dead Sim back to life?
Find out which death type the ghost died of; the ghost's color and trait list show it. Then type traits.remove_trait followed by that ghost trait's code name, for example trait_Ghost_OldAge. The command applies to the selected Sim, so add the ghost to your household and select them first.
What does the death.toggle false command do?
It stops Sims from dying. While it is on, old age, hunger or accidents will not kill a Sim. To turn death back on, type death.toggle true.
Will turning a Sim into a ghost break my save?
Usually not, and when you remove the trait the Sim returns to normal. Still, these codes are not part of the game's official menus. Back up your save before big changes.
