Relationships in The Sims 4 require a lot of effort, as you have to slowly build your friendship or romantic bond over several days. Thankfully, you can use cheats to quickly have someone become infatuated with you. You must first enable them, and then use them in the game.
You can also use them to increase friendships and even alter your relationship with pets.
How to Enable the Sims 4 Relationship Cheats?
You need to activate the option to use cheats in The Sims 4. This can be accomplished by following one of the instructions according to the console you are using:
- If you are playing on a PC, press Ctrl + Shift + C.
- If you are playing on a Mac OS, press Command + Shift + C.
- If you are playing on an Xbox or PlayStation, Press all the trigger buttons simultaneously.
After doing the last step above, a pop-up box will appear on the screen. Enter testingcheats true or testingcheats on and then press enter. After that, the game will confirm that the cheats are activated.
The Sims 4 Friendship Cheat
You can increase your friendship by raising its set value. You can also decrease your friendship by using the same cheat. Below are all the friendship cheats:
Increase Friendship Cheat
Using this cheat, you can increase the friendship between two persons by any value you select between 0-100. The cheat is as follows:
ModifyRelationship Sim1 Sim2 Amount LTR_Friendship_Main
You cannot copy-paste the cheat from above, but instead, in place of Sim 1, use the name of the sim you are playing, and in place of Sim 2, use the name of the sim you want to increase the friendship with. For the Amount, choose any value between 0-100.
The value chosen above will determine how full your friendship bar is. If you selected 60, then the bar will be 60% full. And for the next time you choose 80, the bar will move 20% more. The final example of what a cheat is going to look like is given below:
ModifyRelationship Sim1Sim2 60 LTR_Friendship_Main
Decrease friendship Cheat
if for some reason you want to decrease your friendship with someone in The Sims 4, you can do that by following this cheat:
ModifyRelationship Sim1Sim2 -50 LTR_Friendship_Main
The cheat is the same as you would use to increase the friendship, but you need to put any negative value this time. If you put -50, it will decrease the friendship to 50.
The Sims 4 Romance Cheats
This cheat will increase or decrease the romance, functioning the same way as the other cheats. Below are all the romance cheats:
Increase Romance Cheat
With the help of this cheat, you can increase the romance by any value you want. For example, if you want to increase the romance to 50 between two Sims, the cheat will look like this:

Pet Relationship Cheats in The Sims 4
Bonding with pets became possible when The Sims 4: Cats and Dogs patch was released. The devs have also enabled you to train pets in Sims 4. Like human relationships, you can use cheats to quickly bond with your pets.
Increase Pet friendship Cheat
Using this cheat, you can increase the friendship by any value you want. For example, if you want the friendship between your Sim and your pet to be 100% the cheat will look like this:
ModifyRelationship Sim1 Pet 100 LTR_SimtoPet_Friendship_Main
Decrease Pet friendship Cheat
If you don’t like your pet and want to decrease your friendship, you can do that with the help of this cheat:
ModifyRelationship Sim1 Pet -20 LTR_SimtoPet_Friendship_Main
Relationship Cheat Not Working In The Sims 4?
If the relationship cheats we’ve highlighted above don’t work, there are several steps you can take to mitigate these problems.
- Your sim has three names by default in the game, and sometimes, the cheat doesn’t work if your sim has three names. The solution is to delete one of the names, which will solve your issue.
- If, for some reason, your issue persists after deleting one of the names, change your sim name to Billybob and delete your second name, too. This will solve the issue in most cases.
- The last-ditch effort to revive the cheats is to reload your game, as sometimes the game gets corrupted and creates issues in the cheat.
