How to use cheats in The Sims 4 Lovestruck
Not to be confused with the other kind of cheating – which is still a possibility despite the fact that you can now determine under what circumstances your Sims experience romantic jealousy – The Sims 4 Lovestruck cheats allow you as the player to tinker with your Sims outside of officially sanctioned gameplay.
As a general rule, before attempting any cheats in The Sims 4, you want to enable testing cheats. While not every cheat in TS4 requires this in order to work, the vast majority do, so we always recommend this as a starting point.
To enable testing cheats, first press Ctrl + Shift + C if you're playing on PC/Mac, or hold down all four shoulder buttons simultaneously on Xbox/PlayStation.
This will bring up the cheat console, where you need to type testingcheats true. Enter this cheat and you should receive a notification that cheats have been enabled. You can now use any cheats from further down the page by simply typing them in and hitting enter.
If you want to turn testing cheats off again once you're done, bring up the console again and type testingcheats false. You should receive a notification that cheats have been disabled.
Using console cheats and debug cheats in TS4 is generally very safe – these are tools included in the game by the developers, after all – but there's always a low risk of something going awry. I recommend backing up your favourite saves often just to be on the safe side.
The Sims 4 Lovestruck trait cheats
Lovestruck adds several new, heavily romance-themed traits to The Sims 4. There's two new traits you can apply directly in Create-A-Sim, two reward traits that you can earn by completing the new aspirations from the pack, and even two new ways your Sims can die – but like, romantically.

The Sims 4 Lovestruck skill cheats
Lovestruck introduces the Romance skill. Available to teen Sims and older, building this skill can open up new and unique romantic interactions, and increases the success rate of romantic behaviours generally.
Romance is a major skill with 10 full levels, and while most of your Sims will likely increase it organically through performing romantic social interactions, it's also useful to build as part of Lovestruck's new career (see below).
To raise a Sim's Romance skill, use the following cheat:
Stats.Set_Skill_Level Major_Romance [X]
Replace [X] with the desired number from 1-10 to instantly raise the active Sim's Romance skill to that level.
The Sims 4 Lovestruck career cheats
Lovestruck also adds a new career: Romance Consultant, a traditional Sims 4 career with two branching tracks.
As ever, you can quickly move up and down the career ladder in an instant with a cheat:
- Careers.Promote RomanceConsultant
- Careers.Demote RomanceConsultant
Note: Upon reaching Level 8 of the Romance Consultant career, you'll be prompted via a pop-up to choose which track to follow: Matchmaker or Relationship Counselor. There are no unique cheats once you've chosen a branch, but demoting your Sim back to Level 7 and then getting them promoted again will re-trigger the pop-up and allow you to choose again.
