# How to Use UI Cheats in Sims 4

Source: https://uicheatssims4.com/how-to-use

Last updated: 2026-11-10

With UI Cheats Extension installed, you cheat by clicking the interface in Live mode. Right-click a need bar, skill, job, relationship or the money counter and a small box lets you type or pick the new value. A few things use left-click: a need bar fills to where you click, the money counter adds §1,000, and a want re-rolls.

## The idea in three rules

- **Right-click is the cheat button.** Nearly every feature is a right-click on a bar, icon, counter or title in the interface.
- **Left-click is for quick nudges.** Only a handful of spots react to it, listed below.
- **To add something new, right-click the header.** The green title bar of a section (Traits, Lifestyles, Relationships, Sentiments) or the icon that opens a panel (Skills, Relationships) is where you add an item that is not there yet. Right-click an existing item to change or remove it.

weerbesu describes the mod as cheating by clicking the interface, as opposed to typing a command. To confirm the mod is loaded, right-click the notebook icon next to the phone icon: it shows the version number.

## The left-click actions

| Left-click on | Result |
| --- | --- |
| A need bar | Sets the need to the point where you clicked |
| The money counter | Adds §1,000 |
| A want | Re-rolls it |
| The Balance & Imbalance bar | Sets it to where you clicked |

Everything else on this page is a right-click.

## Everyday cheats: needs, money, mood, time

## Changing the Sim: skills, career, traits, relationships

| --- | --- |
| Set a skill level | The skill bar |
| Add a skill the Sim does not have | The icon that opens the Skills panel |
| Promote, demote, retire or switch branch | The job icon or the green career title bar |
| Finish a promotion or daily task | The task |
| Set work or school performance | The performance bar (-100 to 100) |

| Set fame, reputation or an occult rank | The meter or XP bar |
| Set university GPA or a course grade | The degree icon, or the course icon (0 to 100) |

The mod has more clicks than fit here, for businesses, clubs, milestones, collections and pack-specific meters. The [main page](/) has the complete table and a search box for it.

## Tips before you click

- **Start in Live mode.** Most clicks are on Live mode panels. There is one for Create a Sim too: right-click the check button to randomize name, traits and aspiration.
- **Mind the ranges.** Needs, relationships, character values and performance run from -100 to 100. Sentiments and course grades run from 0 to 100. Eco footprint runs from -500 to 500.
- **Save first.** Changes are written into your save like normal play. Use Save As before removing traits or milestones.
- **A box opens but nothing changes?** The script file is not loading. See [not working](/not-working).
- **Not installed yet?** Start at the [download page](/download).
