"Sims 4," cheats news: making virtual life much easier

"Sims 4," the latest installment of the virtual game of life has pretty much the same "Sims" formula that gamers have come to know and love. Though some players are still giving the game a bit more time to accumulate as much a number of expansions that its predecessor has, "Sims 4" fortunately comes with its own cheats that make the game a bit more fun.

Thanks to Carl's Sims 4 Guide, players have access to a wide variety of cheats that they can try out on the game. Players of previous games will remember the 'motherlode' cheat that gives their Sims about $50 thousand Simoleans, or the "kaching" cheat that gives a slightly less amount of $1000 Simoleans.

To enter a cheat, players have to press CTRL + SHIFT + C, and then type "testingcheats true." Players will also be reminded that some cheats require them to type in "testingcheats on" instead. Players will know that it works if "Cheats Enabled" appears on the screen.

For the restaurant expansion "Dine Out," there are certain cheats that make the customers act to the players will. The cheats also allow more people to work in the restaurant and they also give discounts to certain ingredients necessary to cook meals.

Some of them are the following.

If players want to have a steady flow of customers coming in for the next 24 hours, they can type the words"bucks.unlock_perk MoreCustomers true" in-game.

On the other hand, the code "bucks.unlock_perk AdditionalWaiter_1 true" adds an extra waiter in the Manage Employees tab.

Meanwhile, the code "bucks.unlock_perk IngredientCostDiscount true" gives players a discount on their needed supplies, and this code only works for the next 24 hours.

With all the cheats that the game has, it's a wonder why the developers even provide them when some of the problems can be solved by simply having more money.

Nevertheless, thousands of players have been hooked on the "Sims" series, and cheats are part of what makes the game fun.
