UI Cheats Sims 4 Update

Update status today

So the game is two patches ahead of the mod. weerbesu's post says v1.59 will not work on game versions older than 1.127.41. It says nothing either way about the two newer ones, so this page does not call it compatible or broken. The practical test is in the next sections: check your versions, and if interface panels misbehave, remove the mod until a new build appears on weerbesu's Patreon post.

Recent versions and the patch each was built for

Each release in weerbesu's changelog names the game version it was updated for, and v1.59 arrived one day after the patch it targets. Notes from 2015 to 2023 are on weerbesu's changelog site.

How to update UI Cheats

1. Close The Sims 4.
2. Open your Mods folder and delete the old UI_Cheats_Extension.package and UI_Cheats_Extension_Scripts.ts4script. Search the folder for UI_Cheats to catch copies in subfolders. weerbesu says to keep only one copy of the mod.
3. Get the new zip from the Patreon post. Steps and file details are on the download page.
4. Unzip it and move both files into Mods, at most one subfolder deep.
5. Start the game. After an EA patch the game switches mods off, so open Game Options > Other, tick Enable Custom Content and Mods and Script Mods Allowed, and restart.

New builds appear on the Patreon post, so check it after each game patch.

Check which version you have

• Mod version, by click: in Live mode, right-click the notebook icon next to the phone icon.
• Mod version, by cheat: open the cheat console with Ctrl+Shift+C, type ui_cheats.mod_version and press Enter.
• Game version: lower left corner of the main menu.

Compare the two with the table above. If the mod's number is lower than the latest release, update it. If your game is older than the version the mod was built for, update the game first.

What to do on EA patch day

EA's advice for any mod after a game update is to start the game once with mods disabled, confirm it runs, exit without saving, then check the creator's page before turning mods back on. EA also notes that creators can need time to catch up after a patch.

For this mod the warning signs come from weerbesu: missing interface, graphical or text glitches on panels, and freezing menus all mean the game version and mod version do not match. If you see them, remove the two files and play without the mod until the next release. Fixes for other symptoms are on the not working page.
