Sims 4 UI Cheats Not Working

Find your symptom

Broken interface after a patch

This is the most common failure and the creator is clear about it. In weerbesu's words, UI issues from this mod are always a mismatch between game version and mod version. The mod overrides interface resources, and each release is updated for one specific game version.

1. Find your game version at the lower left of the main menu.
2. Find your mod version: right-click the notebook icon next to the phone icon, or type ui_cheats.mod_version in the cheat console in Live mode. If the interface is too broken to do either, skip to step 4.
3. Compare with the update page. On 10 November 2026 the newest build is v1.59.1 for game version 1.127.41, while the game is at 1.129.39.
4. Close the game and delete every copy of the two UI Cheats files from Mods, including copies in subfolders.
5. If a build for your game version exists, install it from the download page. If not, play without the mod until one is posted.

A game that is older than the mod breaks the same way: v1.59 and later do not work on game versions before 1.127.41. Update the game first. Legacy Edition players need the separate Legacy build that weerbesu links from the post.

Boxes open but nothing changes

The mod is two files. The .package draws the cheat boxes and the .ts4script does the work. When only the first one loads, you get boxes that accept a value and then do nothing. weerbesu's checklist:

• The script file is in the Mods folder or one subfolder down. Mods\UI Cheats\ is fine. Mods\Scripts\UI Cheats\ is too deep.
• Script Mods Allowed is ticked in Game Options > Other, and you restarted after ticking it.
• In the game's list of installed mods, the package appears under Custom Content and the script under Script Mods. If the script is not listed, it is not loading.

Right-click does nothing after an update

EA disables all mods whenever the game updates. Its reason: it does not screen mods, and one that was fine before a patch can cause trouble after it. Until you switch them back on, UI Cheats is simply not running.

EA's order of steps is: start the game with mods off and check that it works, exit without saving, check the creator's page for an updated version, then tick Enable Custom Content and Mods under Game Options > Other and restart. Tick Script Mods Allowed as well. Do not use Save and Exit while mods are off: EA warns that content may be removed from the save.

Still broken: rule out other mods

weerbesu states the mod only conflicts with other UI mods that override the same resources, not with script or tuning mods. When two UI mods collide, the game reads the first and ignores the second, so one of them stops working. Unrelated game problems are unlikely to come from that conflict.

To find a clash, use EA's batch method: move everything out of Mods, put UI Cheats back alone and test. If it works, return the other mods in batches until the problem comes back, then halve that batch until one file is left. The how to use page lists what each click should do, so you can tell a broken feature from a wrong click.
