Frequently asked questions

1. How do I bring a Sim back to life using cheats?

Several cheats can remove ghost traits or restore a deceased Sim, depending on your game version and installed packs. Some resurrection methods also require special in-game objects or gameplay features, while others can be performed directly with cheats.

2. Can I choose how my Sim dies with cheats?

Yes. The Sims 4 includes cheats that simulate different causes of death, although some are only available with specific expansion packs. The available commands depend on the type of death you're trying to trigger.

3. Do death cheats disable achievements?

On PC and Mac, enabling cheats doesn't permanently affect your save, but achievements tied to normal gameplay may not progress while cheats are active. On PlayStation and Xbox, using cheats disables trophy or achievement progression for the current save file.
