A really important part of playing The Sims 4 is working on relationships with other sims and growing friendships with family members and friends. The sims isn’t the most fun if your sims don’t have any friends or someone to share their life with!
Sometimes working on these relationships can be a lot of work and have you inviting a sim over every single day just to stay friends. Thankfully, there are relationship cheats for The Sims 4 that you can use to skip the process of gaining these relationships organically.
Stray cat won’t leave my house? I made my sim’s lot a cat hangout, and about 4-5 strays showed up within 15 minutes. Two of them went into the house, and I didn’t want anymore to come into the house so I went ahead and locked the door. Create a variety of cats and dogs, add them to your Sims’ homes to forever change their lives, and care for neighborhood pets as a veterinarian with The Sims™ 4 Cats & Dogs. CREATE CATS AND DOGS Use the powerful Create A Pet tool to express your creativity as you customize your Sims’ perfect cats, dogs, puppies, and kittens. The won't mate at all (even when my sims cat was in heat) and fight a lot. Idk what to do to even help them get along. The sims actually get along with the cats fine but the cats don't seem to like each other.
How to Enable Cheats
Before you are able to use any of these relationship cheats you must enable cheats. You can do this by first opening up the cheat dialogue box by hitting ctrl + shift + c on your keyboard. Then type in testingcheats true and hit enter. This is going to enable cheats and if it works it will say cheats are enabled.
How to Cheat Friendship
If you are trying to increase the friendship between two sims you are going to use this cheat:
- ModifyRelationship Sim1 Sim2 Amount LTR_Friendship_Main
I totally understand that a cheat like that can be confusing so let’s do an example. If you wanted to increase Bob and Eliza Pancakes’s friendship by 100 points the cheat is going to look like this:
- ModifyRelationship Bob Pancakes Eliza Pancakes 100 LTR_Friendship_Main
The first sim name is going to be the name of the sim you are currently controlling and you need the first and last name with a space in between. Make sure that you spell them correctly! Then, the number is the amount of relationship you’d wish to give this can be any number from 1 to 100.
These cheats work on a points system so if you fill the number with 100 it will add 100 friendship points, not fill the bar too 100%.
To decrease your friendship with another sim you are going to use the exact same cheat but you are going to change the number from a positive number to a negative. So, for example if you wanted to decrease by 50 relationship points for Bob and Eliza Pancakes you would have a cheat that looks like this:
- ModifyRelationship Bob Pancakes Eliza Pancakes -50 LTR_Friendship_Main
How to Cheat Romance
The romance cheats are going to work exactly the same as the friendship cheat, except in the cheat you are going to change friendship to romance. It will look something like this:
- ModifyRelationship Sim1 Sim2 Amount LTR_Romance_Main
If you wanted to increase the relationship by 50 for Bob and Eliza Pancakes you would have a cheat that looks like this:
- ModifyRelationship Bob Pancakes Eliza Pancakes 50 LTR_Romance_Main
You can also use this to decrease romance by whatever amount by changing the number to be a negative number instead.
How to Cheat Pet Relationships
You also have the option to use a friendship cheat with your pets if you have The Sims 4: Cats and Dogs to increase your relationship with them. This cheat is very similar to the cheat for humans with a small thing added. It looks like this:
- ModifyRelationship SimName PetName Amount LTR_SimtoPet_Friendship_Main
You want to fill the Sim name with the name of the sim you are currently controlling and the pet name is the name of your pet. Just like the sim to sim cheats the amount is how many points you wish to add to your relationship. Here’s an example of Bob Pancakes becoming friends with a dog that Eliza decided to adopt named Prissy.
- ModifyRelationship Bob Pancakes Prissy 100 LTR_SimtoPet_Friendship_Main
Just like with the sim cheats you are also able to use these to decrease relationships by changing the number to a negative number, so -100 or -50 instead.
Final Thoughts
Cheating relationships is seriously my favorite thing to do when creating a new family or working on a save file. EA really failed me in making people have friends in the game, like why do Bob and Eliza not have any friends when you load the game? Well, I like to meet people and then cheat it instead. It’s great! Happy Playing!
Having pets in The Sims 4 really adds a new level of realism in the game and everyone loves a pets pack like The Sims 4: Cats & Dogs. However, sometimes we get too obsessed with our pets and want them to live forever and be able to age them down, or we need to age them up from kittens or puppies so they can do more.
In this article, we are going to talk about how to age up pets in the sims 4 as well as how to age them down so you can keep your pets around forever.
Aging up Pets With Treats
To be able to age up a pet without using cheats in The Sims 4, you’re going to need access to Dr. Magi-Heal’s Medicine Craft-o-Matic. Wow, what a weird name for an item in the game.
You can find this item in the vet clinic that is in Brindleton Bay or you can actually purchase one for your home from the hobbies section of buy mode, or by searching the item name.
To be able to create the treat to age up or age down pets in the game your sim is going to need to reach level 6 of the veterinarian skill. To gain this skill you can use that same Dr. Magi-Heal’s Medicine Craft-o-Matic and click on it and choose do lab work and your sim will just tinker around with the machine and gain the skill that way.
Once your sim reaches level 6 of the vet skill they are going to unlock the ability to craft the treats you need to age up or age down pets. You can click on the craft-of-matic and choose craft > treats and choose the age up treat.
When your sim finishes crafting this treat it will appear in their inventory and you can click on the pet and choose to give them the vet treat and they will age up within a few seconds.
Aging up Pets Using Cheats
Cats And Dogs Veterinary Clinic
If you don’t feel like working through the veterinarian skill in the game to craft a treat, you can also age up pets using the full edit mode cheat. This cheat allows you to go in and edit everything for sims and pets (including ages, appearance, and more) that you aren’t normally able to edit in CAS.
To enter full edit mode to age up a pet you need to open up the cheat box by hitting ctrl + shift + c on your keyboard and then enable cheats by typing in testingcheats true and hit enter.
Then, in that same dialogue box you can type in the full edit mode cheat which is, cas.fulleditmode and hit enter. This should allow you to enter full edit mode. Then, you can hold down shift and click on you pet and choose modify in CAS.
When create a sim opens you can choose a different age for your sim pet and then click the check mark and they will be a different age.

Aging Down Pets
You don’t just need to use these to age up a pet, you also have the option to age down your pets using both of the above methods so you can keep your beloved pets around your sims longer.
Raining Cats And Dogs
You’ll just need to get your sim to craft an age down treat instead of the age up treat if you use the vet skill method, and just choose a younger age if you choose the full edit mode method.

We all love our pets in both real life and the sims so we may want to keep our sims around longer or age them up earlier so they are easier to play with. Using these methods you can simply age up your pets without worrying about that stuff!
