How to cheat these Sims need in The Sims 3?
To cheat Sims needs in The Sims 3 , open the cheat console with Ctrl +
Shift + C, type testingcheatsenabled true, and press Enter. Then you can
either drag the need bars up in Live Mode, shift-click a Sim and choose a
needs option, or use mailbox-based needs cheats depending on your setup.
Fast method
The simplest approach is:
- Open the cheat box with Ctrl + Shift + C.
- Enter
testingcheatsenabled true.
- Go back into your save and drag the need bars upward, or use the hidden cheat menus that appear when you shift-click.
Useful options
- Fill one Sim’s needs: shift-click the Sim and choose a needs-related cheat such as “Make Happy.”
- Fill household needs: shift-click a mailbox and use the needs options shown there.
- Prevent decay: some cheats or menu options can stop needs from dropping for the household.
Quick caution
Be careful with the Hunger need, because lowering it too far can kill a Sim.
Example
If you just want one Sim fully recovered after work, the usual flow is: open cheat console, enable testing cheats, shift-click the Sim, then choose the option that fills their needs.
TL;DR: Use testingcheatsenabled true, then drag needs up or shift-click the
Sim/mailbox for needs cheats.
