Sims 4 Horse Ranch cheats
Updated Sources checked 23 September 2026
sims.get_sim_id_by_name prints a horse's ID, and every horse skill command needs that number on the end. The rider's two skills go on the Sim, so they don't.

Open the console before you saddle up
Find a horse's ID
Print the number
Type
sims.get_sim_id_by_nameand the horse's first and last name. The console prints a long number.
Put it on the end
Type
stats.set_skill_level Horse_Agility 10, then that number. The bar fills at once.
If the console gives you nothing back
- Horses have first and last names like any Sim. Check the spelling in Simology.
- The command is
stats.set_skill_level.sims.set_skill_leveldoesn't exist, and it's a common typo in the lists passed around online. - Cheats have to be on before the ID command will print anything.
- Still nothing? Try the fixes on Sims 4 cheats not working.

Horse traits, and child or teen riders
We couldn't confirm a token for horse personality traits, so none is listed here. Use full edit mode and change the horse in Create a Sim instead, which also lets you redo its looks.
We couldn't confirm an Equestrian token for a child or a teen either. The two rider skills here are the adult versions, the only ones any guide prints.
Cats and dogs have their own codes on the pet cheats page.
Horse needs
Fill or freeze a horse's needs
Horses use the same shift-click menu as cats and dogs.
| Command | What it does | Notes | Copy |
|---|---|---|---|
CommandShift-click an animal > Cheat Need > Make Happy | What it doesFills every one of that animal's needs. | NotesDisable Need Decay on the same menu freezes them instead. On a controller, shift-clicking the animal is Circle and X, or B and A. |
Horse skills in the UI Cheats Extension
weerbesu's UI Cheats mod skips the ID: right-click a skill bar to pick a level, or a need bar to set it. Horse skills are reported to work this way, on Windows and Mac only.
The feature list shows what the mod officially covers.
What the feature list says about horses
The official feature list says the Sim Profile skill-bar right-click has covered pet skills since v1.37, but it doesn't name horses. They're animals with skill bars, so the same control is reported to work on them.
The typed commands above work either way.
Frequently asked questions
What is the cheat for horse skills in The Sims 4?
With cheats on, find the horse ID with sims.get_sim_id_by_name and the horse's name, then run stats.set_skill_level Horse_Agility 10 <HorseID>. Jumping, Endurance and Temperament work the same way.
Is there a cheat for the Horse Riding skill?
Yes, and it goes on the Sim, not the horse: stats.set_skill_level AdultMajor_EquestrianSkill 10. Select the rider first and leave the ID off. Nectar Making is a minor skill, so it stops at 5.
Why does sims.set_skill_level do nothing?
Because that command doesn't exist. Lists online often print it by mistake, and the one that works is stats.set_skill_level.
Can the UI Cheats Extension set horse skills?
It's reported to. The mod's own feature list says pet skills and doesn't name horses, but horses are animals with skill bars, so try right-clicking the bar in the Sim Profile panel before you go hunting for an ID. The mod is PC and Mac only.
