The Sims 4: Needs cheats

If you do not want your Sim to spend the day wrestling with need bars, there are two ways out. Fill needs one by one (fillmotive) or fill everyone's needs in the household at once (sims.fill_all_commodities). If you would rather not type a code, the Make Happy option in the Shift + click menu does the same job. There is also a way to stop the bars from ever dropping, explained below.

Stops needs from decaying completely

Shift + left-click → Cheat Need → Disable Need Decay

Needs cheats: Common questions

How do I fill all needs at once?
Typing sims.fill_all_commodities in the console fills every need for every Sim in the household. If you want a quick fix for the selected Sim only, Shift + left-click, then Cheat Need and Make Happy is enough.
Can I stop needs from decaying completely?
Yes. Shift-click the Sim and choose Disable Need Decay in the Cheat Need menu. The bars will not drop again. Enable Need Decay in the same menu takes you back to normal.
Why does my fillmotive command not work?
First make sure you typed testingcheats true. Then check that you typed the command correctly. Valid names are motive_Hunger, motive_Energy, motive_Bladder, motive_Hygiene, motive_Social and motive_Fun. The command works on the selected Sim, so you need to select the Sim first.
Why does the Shift + click menu not open at all?
This menu only appears while testingcheats is on, so make sure you typed it first. On consoles, instead of Shift-clicking, hold Circle and press X on PlayStation, or hold B and press A on Xbox.
