The Sims 4 has captivated millions of players with its immersive and customizable gameplay, allowing fans to guide their Sims through life’s many stages. One particularly endearing phase is the toddler stage, a time of exploration, growth, and learning. Managing a toddler Sim, however, can present unique challenges. This is where Sims 4 toddler skill cheats come in handy, giving you full control over skill progression, traits, and overall gameplay. In this guide, we’ll dive into every aspect of Sims 4 toddler skill cheats, from enabling cheat commands to maximizing skills and traits, managing needs, and more.

How to Enable – Sims 4 Testing Cheats

Before using any cheats in The Sims 4, you’ll need to enable the TestingCheats feature, which is the foundational step for all cheat codes. Here’s a quick guide on how to activate cheat mode:

  • PC: Press Ctrl + Shift + C on your keyboard to open the cheat console.
  • Mac: Use Command + Shift + C to bring up the console.
  • Console/PS4: Press all four shoulder buttons simultaneously.

Once the console is open, type testingcheats true and hit Enter. You’ll now have cheats enabled! Type testingcheats off if you wish to disable cheat functionality later.

Mastering Toddler Skills with Cheats

Toddlers in The Sims 4 have five core skills that dictate their interactions, growth, and behavior. Maxing out these skills makes your gameplay smoother and unlocks bonus traits when toddlers age up. Here’s how to enhance each skill quickly using cheat codes:

Communication Skill

The Communication skill helps toddlers express themselves and form connections with others by talking, listening, and interacting. To instantly boost this skill to the maximum level (level 5), use the cheat:

stats.set_skill_level statistic_skill_toddler_communication 5

Boosting this skill not only helps in interactions but also makes your toddler less fussy when engaging in Social Activities.

Imagination Skill

Imagination is key to creativity in The Sims 4. Whether through playing make-believe or interacting with toys and books, this skill lets toddlers explore their world in innovative ways. Max out Imagination with the cheat:

stats.set_skill_level statistic_skill_toddler_imagination 5

This skill is best developed through activities like reading fairy tales or playing with visual and interactive objects, such as the Wabbit Tablet.

Movement Skill

Movement skills dictate how quickly a toddler will navigate their world and unlock physical activities like climbing stairs or dancing. To maximize the Movement skill, use the code:

stats.set_skill_level statistic_skill_toddler_movement 5

Activities such as playing with blocks, using the slide, or walking on their own naturally boost this skill over time, but cheats make it effortless.

Potty Skill

Unlike the other skills, the Potty skill has a maximum of 3 levels. To instantly achieve full potty training, use the following cheat:

stats.set_skill_level statistic_skill_toddler_potty 3

A fully trained toddler can use the potty chair without assistance, making life easier for any caretaker Sim.

Thinking Skill

The Thinking skill sharpens cognitive abilities, reduces defiance, and increases a toddler’s capacity to solve problems. To boost this skill to its maximum level, use the code:

stats.set_skill_level statistic_skill_toddler_thinking 5

Enhancing Thinking skills is great for enabling toddlers to explore independently without causing chaos.

Bonus Traits – Happy and Top-Notch Toddler

Maxing out your toddler’s skills before they age up has significant benefits that carry over into later life stages. The two primary bonus traits linked to toddler skills are:

Happy Toddler

This trait is granted when a toddler ages up with all their skills reaching at least level 3. It can be manually added using the cheat:

traits.equip_trait trait_happy_toddler

With this trait, your Sim child benefits from faster skill gains across their lifespan.

Top-Notch Toddler

The Top-Notch Toddler trait is earned by maxing out all skills (excluding Potty) at level 5 before aging up. Equip this elite trait using:

traits.equip_trait trait_top_notch_toddler

This trait makes your Sim much more likely to excel as they grow and flourish.

Managing Toddler Needs with Cheats

Keeping up with toddler needs—like Hunger, Energy, Fun, and Hygiene—can feel overwhelming. Cheats make a world of difference in managing these aspects. Here are the most helpful commands:

  • Fill All Needs: sims.fill_all_commodities
  • Fill Hunger: fillmotive motive_hunger
  • Fill Energy: fillmotive motive_energy
  • Fill Fun: fillmotive motive_fun
  • Reset Emotions: sims.remove_all_buffs

Exploring Toddler Quirks

Quirks are temporary personality traits that add spice to your toddler’s gameplay. They might develop quirks like “Picky Eater” or “Loves Being Held.” You can manually assign or remove quirks using TestingCheats. To explore quirks, enable TestingCheats, then:

  • SHIFT+Click on the toddler.
  • Navigate to Pack Cheats → Expansion Packs → Get Together → Toddler Quirks.
  • Add or remove discoverable quirks to create unique personality combinations!
