Mastering the sims 4 character values cheat

Character values in The Sims 4: Parenthood game pack add a unique dynamic to family life and Sim development. These values shape a child’s growth and dictate their behavior as adults. However, managing them can be time-consuming, especially if you're looking to achieve specific outcomes. Luckily, cheats can streamline this process. If you're ready to unlock full control over character values, check out the comprehensive Sims 4 character values cheat guide for everything you need.

What Are Character Values?

Character values were introduced in Sims 4: Parenthood as part of a new parenting system. They affect how child and teen Sims grow up and what traits they gain when they transition into adulthood. There are five character values your Sims can develop:

  1. Manners
  2. Responsibility
  3. Empathy
  4. Conflict Resolution
  5. Emotional Control

Each value has a positive and a negative trait outcome. For instance, a Sim with high Manners will grow up with the “Good Manners” trait, while one with low Manners might end up with the “Bad Manners” trait.

Why Use Cheats for Character Values?

Managing character values through gameplay requires consistent parenting interactions, which can take a lot of in-game time. If you’re building a story or just don’t want the hassle, character values cheats can be a useful way to skip the grind and customize your Sims’ traits directly.

  1. Press Ctrl + Shift + C (or Cmd + Shift + C on Mac) to open the cheat console.
  2. Type testingcheats true and hit Enter.

Using the Sims 4 Character Values Cheat

  1. Manners: lifeSkillStatistic_Manners
  2. Responsibility: lifeSkillStatistic_Responsibility
  3. Empathy: lifeSkillStatistic_Empathy
  4. Conflict Resolution: lifeSkillStatistic_ConflictResolution
  5. Emotional Control: lifeSkillStatistic_EmotionalControl

For example, if you want to max out a Sim’s Manners, use:

stats.set_stat lifeSkillStatistic_Manners 100

You can also set values in the negative range to give them a specific undesirable trait. For example:

stats.set_stat lifeSkillStatistic_Empathy -50

Tips for Using Cheats Effectively

  1. Only use these cheats on child or teen Sims, as adult Sims do not have character values.
  2. Use the sims.get_sim_id_by_name cheat if you're unsure of a specific Sim's ID or name to target them accurately.
  3. A value of around 50 usually earns the associated positive trait when the Sim ages up, while -50 triggers the negative trait.
