Sims 4 fame and reputation cheats
Updated Sources checked 23 September 2026
famepoints 1000 adds fame points, but celebrity level and reputation don't have a typed command. You set those from the shift-click Public Image menu.

The Public Image menu
Celebrity level and reputation can't be typed, so hold Shift, click the Sim and use this menu.

Where those two strings probably come from
The live game does have ranked statistics, and Businesses & Hobbies uses one for small-business reputation, which is probably where the confusion started. We couldn't find either one backed up anywhere we could check, so we don't list them as commands.
No source gives a numeric fame threshold per star either, so we haven't made one up. The shift-click page has the rest of that menu.
Unlock perks and quirks

Every perk and quirk command below ends with this number.

|---|---|---|---|
Commandsims.get_sim_id_by_name <FirstName> <LastName> | What it doesPrints the Sim's ID number, which the perk and quirk commands need. | NotesIt's base game, so it works whether or not Get Famous is installed. |

Traits, acting and the Actor career
Fame reward traits
To take one off, use remove_trait instead.
| Command | What it does | Notes | Copy |
|---|---|---|---|
Commandtraits.equip_trait UnstoppableFame | What it doesUnstoppable Fame, which stops a Sim ever losing fame. | Notes | |
Commandtraits.equip_trait WorldRenownedActor | What it doesWorld-Renowned Actor, which stops a Sim ever failing an acting action. | Notes |
Acting skills and careers
| Command | What it does | Notes | Copy |
|---|---|---|---|
Commandstats.set_skill_level Major_Acting 10 | What it doesSets the Acting skill. | Notes | |
Commandstats.set_skill_level Minor_Media 5 | What it doesSets the Media Production skill. | NotesOne guide gives minor_mediaproduction. Minor_Media is the form two sources agree on, so start with that. | |
Commandcareers.promote Actor | What it doesPromotes the Sim one level in the Actor career. | NotesUse careers.add_career Actor first if they don't have the job yet. | |
Commandcareers.promote DramaClub | What it doesPromotes a child one rank in Drama Club. | Notes |
Media Production, and the commands left out
Media Production is a minor skill: Minor_Media and a maximum of 5. One guide prints minor_mediaproduction and another claims a maximum of 10. Start with the spelling in the table.
We only found fame.set_freeze_fame, fame.set_allow_fame, fame.add_sim_to_squad and bucks.lock_perk in one source each, so they aren't in the tables. Freeze Fame is on the Public Image menu instead, and the career cheats cover Actor promotions in full.
Fame meters and perks in UI Cheats
Fame and reputation
- Right-click the meter in Simology with weerbesu's UI Cheats Extension installed, then pick a rank instead of clicking five times.
Perks and quirks
- Right-click a perk to unlock or lock it, without Sim IDs or currency numbers.
Where the mod doesn't reach
famepoints has a counter you can right-click, so the mod covers that too. It's a script mod though, so it only runs on Windows and Mac. On PlayStation and Xbox you're still typing every fame cheat here or picking it from the menu.
Script Mods Allowed has to be on before any of it works. The install guide walks through that switch.
Frequently asked questions
What is the fame cheat in The Sims 4?
With cheats on, type famepoints 1000 to give the active Sim a thousand fame points. A negative number, such as famepoints -500, takes points away again.
How do you set celebrity level with cheats?
There's no typed command for it. Hold Shift, click the Sim, open Public Image and choose Increase Celebrity Level once per star, so five picks take a Sim from nothing to five stars. Decrease Celebrity Level goes the other way.
Is there a reputation cheat in The Sims 4?
Only through the same menu. Shift-click the Sim, open Public Image and choose Set Reputation, then pick one of the seven tiers from Pristine down to Atrocious. You'll see the string stats.set_stat rankedStatistic_Reputation_ReputationRanked all over the place, and it doesn't exist.
Can the UI Cheats Extension set fame?
Yes, and it's the shortest route. Right-click the Fame or Reputation meter in Simology to pick a rank, right-click the fame point counter to set points, and right-click a perk to unlock or lock it, without a Sim ID or a currency number. The mod is PC and Mac only.
