The Sims 4 Vampires cheats
Become a powerful vampire instantaneously with these cheats for TS4's Vampires game pack!
The Sims 4 Vampires game pack does pretty much exactly what you'd expect based on the title, allowing your Sims to trade in the standard life-sim life-cycle in exchange for immortality… at the cost of their ability to walk freely in daylight.
Given sufficient time, however, even that obstacle can be overcome, thanks to the wide array of powers that vampire Sims can access via their unique perks tree. But even with all the time that the eternal night offers, levelling up the long way can be a hassle, and your Sim probably didn't become a vampire to behave themselves, right?
So in case you wanted to speed up the road to vampiric mastery a little, here's a list of The Sims 4 Vampires cheats to unlock everything in the pack instantly.

How to become a vampire using cheats in The Sims 4
To use most of the cheats on this page – and in The Sims 4 in general – you'll need to begin by enabling cheats in the command console.
Open the command console by pressing Ctrl + Alt + Delete on PC/Mac, or by pressing all four shoulder buttons at once on PlayStation/Xbox.
Once the console is open, type in the following cheat to get things started:
testingcheats true
You can reverse the process, replacing "true" with "false", whenever you want to turn cheats back off again. However, players on console should be aware that using cheats permanently disables achievements/trophies for that save, even if you turn testingcheats back off when you're done.
Next, in order to become a vampire using cheats, you'll need to have The Sims 4 Vampires game pack installed. You can then enter the following cheat into the command console to instantly turn the active Sim into a vampire:
traits.equip_trait trait_OccultVampire
Alternatively, if you'd like your Sim to experience a "natural" vampiric transformation, you can use the following cheat to enable the moodlet that begins the process of turning:
stats.set_stat commodity_BecomingVampire [X]
Replace [X] with the following numerical value depending on how long you want the transformation process to take:
- 1: 36 in-game hours to transformation
- 721: 24 in-game hours to transformation
- 1441: 12 in-game hour to transformation
- 2100: 1 in-game hour to transformation
- 2160: Immediate transformation
And, if your Sim is tired of (un)life as a bloodsucking fiend and wants to re-embrace regular mortality, you can use traits.remove_trait trait_OccultVampire instead.
The Sims 4 Vampires rank cheats
A Vampire Sim's rank determines which level of perks they can access. In order to improve their rank, vampires must gain enough XP to achieve the next level through performing a variety of vampiric actions… or you could just use the following cheat:
stats.set_stat RankedStatistic_Occult_VampireXP [X]
Replace [X] with the amount of Vampire XP you want to set your Sim to. For reference, new ranks are attained at the following points:
- Fledgling Vampire: 0XP (default starting rank)
- Minor Vampire: 202XP
- Prime Vampire: 360XP
- Master Vampire: 1058XP
- Grand Master Vampire: 1486XP
- Maximum XP: 1593XP
Having attained the highest level of Grand Master, Vampires can continue to earn XP up to the cap in order to unlock the full perk tree.
The Sims 4 Vampires power and weakness cheats
As they become accustomed to their new unlives as creatures of the night, vampire Sims will frequently earn perk points that can be spent to unlock unique powers via their perk tree. However, they will also be obliged to take on certain weaknesses in exchange for these amazing abilities.
This devil's bargain system is one of the more interesting and challenging mechanics for occult Sims, even the best part of a decade after this game pack's release. However, you're certainly not obliged to play by those rules, when you can of course just cheat your powers and weaknesses instead.
Note that, for unknown reasons, you'll need a Sim's unique ID number in order to work with this particular set of cheats. This number can be obtained by entering sims.get_sim_id_by_name [First Name] [Last Name] into the cheat console.

The Sims 4 Vampires trait cheats
On a slightly more prosaic level, The Sims 4 Vampires introduces a small number of regular-type traits into the game: namely, three aspiration rewards and one new ghost type. These traits can be applied instantly to any Sim using the following cheats:
| Trait | Description / Notes | Type | Apply with… | Remove with… |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| I Am The Master | Sim benefits from having competed the Vampire Family aspiration | Reward Trait - Aspiration | traits.equip_trait TheMaster | traits.remove_trait TheMaster |
| Regained Humanity | Sim benefits from having completed the Good Vampire aspiration | Reward Trait - Aspiration | traits.equip_trait RegainedHumanity | traits.remove_trait RegainedHumanity |
| A True Master | Sim benefits from having completed the Master Vampire aspiration | Reward Trait - Aspiration | traits.equip_trait TrueMaster | traits.remove_trait TrueMaster |
| Death by Sunlight | Sim is a ghost vampire who died from overexposure to sunlight | Cause of Death / Ghost Trait | traits.equip_trait Vampire_Sun | traits.remove_trait Vampire_Sun |
Note: If you're the kind of sick puppy who'd like to see your vampire Sim suffer and burn before turning into a ghost, you can replace the above cheat with stats.set_stat Commodity_Vampire_Sunexposure -100 to see that death play out in glorious real-time. They'll then gain the Death by Sunlight ghost trait organically.
The Sims 4 Vampires skill cheats
Vampires includes two pack-exclusive skills to make things a bit more interesting for simulated creatures of the night. The Vampire Lore skill is important for garnering a greater understanding of vampire powers and how to use them, while Pipe Organ is a musical instrument skill that's just great for setting the tone.
Acquire either skill instantly using the following cheats:
| Skill | Cheat | Value Range of [X] |
|---|---|---|
| Pipe Organ | stats.set_skill_level Major_PipeOrgan [X] | 1-10 |
| Vampire Lore | stats.set_skill_level VampireLore [X] | 1-10 |
Replace [X] with the desired number within the value range to instantly raise the active Sim's skill to that level. Vampires is unusual for a Sims 4 DLC in that it adds two major adult skills with the full 10 levels of mastery.
