The Sims 4 Growing Together cheats

The Sims 4 Growing Together expansion pack fleshes out gameplay for a number of often-neglected life stages in TS4 – in other words, basically everyone other than Young Adults, who tend to get the most attention by default from both devs and players. And hey, many of us have been guilty of perpetuating that; but with Growing Together, there's a few more reasons to step outside of that comfort zone and play a legacy family, rather than an endless stream of SINK and DINK households you abandon after a single generation.

There aren't any new skills or careers added in this pack, but a lot of the newly-added gameplay runs on traits of one kind or another. The natural chaos of a simulated multigenerational family home is of course much easier to control with some cheats, so here's our list of cheats in The Sims 4 Growing Together.

How to use cheats in The Sims 4 Growing Together

As a general rule, before attempting any cheats in The Sims 4, you want to enable testing cheats. While not every cheat in TS4 requires this in order to work, the vast majority do, so we always recommend this as a starting point.

To enable testing cheats, first press Ctrl Shift C if you're playing on PC/Mac, or hold down all four shoulder buttons simultaneously on Xbox/PlayStation.

This will bring up the cheat console, where you need to type testingcheats true. Enter this cheat and you should receive a notification that cheats have been enabled. You can now use any cheats from further down the page by simply typing them in and hitting enter.

If you want to turn testing cheats off again once you're done, bring up the console again and type testingcheats false. You should receive a notification that cheats have been disabled.

Using console cheats and debug cheats in TS4 is generally very safe – these are tools included in the game by the developers, after all – but there's always a low risk of something going awry. I recommend backing up your favourite saves often just to be on the safe side.

However, console players should be aware that enabling cheats permanently disables trophies/achievements for that save on PlayStation and Xbox, even if you turn testingcheats back off once you're done. PC players are exempt from this crackdown, however, since TS4 achievements on PC work slightly differently anyway.

The Sims 4 Growing Together Infant & Toddler Quirks cheats

Despite not being available in The Sims 4 at launch, both the toddler and infant life stages have since been added to the base game in free updates for all players – so you can find infant and toddler trait cheats over on our main Sims 4 cheats page, along with the game's other core features.

However, Growing Together does still add some unique, pack-specific gameplay for these two age groups. Infant Quirks and Toddler Quirks are essentially hidden traits, three of which are randomly applied by the game when a Sim ages up into or is created within either age group. The twist is that the player has to discover these quirks for themselves as they play through each life stage with their young Sims.

But that level of realism isn't what every Simmer wants – sometimes you have a specific personality in mind for a Sim from their earliest days, or maybe you just don't like the hassle of uncovering quirks every time. In which case, you can use the following cheats to add and remove the quirks from your infants and toddlers at your discretion:

Like their younger siblings, teen and child Sims also enjoy some new mechanics exclusive to the Growing Together pack – complementing existing mechanics from the base game, as well as those added in earlier DLCs such as Parenthood and High School Years.

Child Sims get four new aspirations with associated reward traits for completion. Meanwhile, Childhood Confidence levels add temporary traits that can then become locked in as Self-Esteem Traits when Sims grow up into teens.
