Turn a Sim into an occult
| Command | What it does | Notes | Copy |
|---|---|---|---|
Commandtraits.equip_trait trait_OccultVampire | What it doesTurns the Sim into a vampire immediately. | Notes | |
Commandtraits.equip_trait trait_Occult_WitchOccult | What it doesTurns the Sim into a spellcaster. | Notes | |
Commandtraits.equip_trait trait_occultwerewolf | What it doesTurns the Sim into a werewolf. | Notes | |
Commandtraits.equip_trait trait_OccultMermaid | What it doesTurns the Sim into a mermaid. | Notes | |
Commandtraits.equip_trait trait_OccultAlien | What it doesTurns the Sim into an alien. | NotesYou won't see any change at first. Use Alter Disguise, or enter cas.fulleditmode and edit the Sim, to see the alien form. | |
Commandtraits.equip_trait trait_OccultFairy_AllAges | What it doesTurns the Sim into a fairy. | NotesSims Community lists this command, but PC Gamer says there's no fairy transformation cheat and you have to set the occult type in Create a Sim. Try it, and use cas.fulleditmode if nothing happens. |
Turn a Sim back into a normal Sim
The powers and progress go with the trait.
| Command | What it does | Notes | Copy |
|---|---|---|---|
Commandtraits.remove_trait trait_OccultVampire | What it doesMakes a vampire human again. | Notes | |
Commandtraits.remove_trait trait_Occult_WitchOccult | What it doesRemoves spellcaster status. | Notes | |
Commandtraits.remove_trait trait_occultwerewolf | What it doesRemoves werewolf status. | Notes | |
Commandtraits.remove_trait trait_OccultMermaid | What it doesRemoves mermaid status. | Notes | |
Commandtraits.remove_trait trait_OccultMermaid_TYAE | What it doesPuts the Hygiene need back after un-mermaiding a Sim who still has Hydration. | NotesIt's from one guide, so run it only if the Hydration need is still there. | |
Commandtraits.remove_trait trait_OccultAlien | What it doesRemoves alien status. | Notes | |
Commandtraits.remove_trait trait_OccultFairy_AllAges | What it doesRemoves fairy status. | NotesSims Community and PC Gamer disagree on this one too, as they do on the command that adds the trait. |
If an occult cheat does nothing
- Cheats might be off. Type
testingcheats trueand wait for the confirmation. - You might not own the pack. Each occult belongs to one pack, and the table above says which.
- You might have the wrong Sim selected. Click the portrait, then open the console.
- Your game may spell the trait name differently. Guides don't agree on the werewolf and spellcaster names, so try the alternatives in the notes.
- An alien or vampire command can look like it did nothing on screen. Open the Sim in Create a Sim to be sure.
- The rest of the fixes are on Sims 4 cheats not working.
Vampire cheats
Vampire ranks, powers and traits
Guides give these XP numbers and EA doesn't, so check the rank afterward.
| Command | What it does | Notes | Copy |
|---|---|---|---|
Commandstats.set_stat commodity_BecomingVampire 2160 | What it doesStarts the turn, as though the Sim had been bitten. | NotesGuides split on whether 2160 is instant or takes a couple of days. Those that list lower numbers treat them as a countdown, with 1 the longest. One guide prints it with an extra underscore after set_stat, which won't run, so we've corrected the spelling here. | |
Commandstats.set_stat rankedStatistic_Occult_VampireXP 202 | What it doesSets the Sim to Minor Vampire. | Notes | |
Commandstats.set_stat rankedStatistic_Occult_VampireXP 630 | What it doesSets the Sim to Prime Vampire. | Notes | |
Commandstats.set_stat rankedStatistic_Occult_VampireXP 1058 | What it doesSets the Sim to Master Vampire. | Notes | |
Commandstats.set_stat rankedStatistic_Occult_VampireXP 1486 | What it doesSets the Sim to Grand Master Vampire. | Notes | |
Commandstats.set_stat rankedStatistic_Occult_VampireXP 1593 | What it doesGrants two spare vampire power points on top of the rank. | Notes | |
Commandbucks.unlock_perk <PerkName> true 40961 <SimID> | What it doesUnlocks one vampire power without spending a power point. | NotesOne guide lists power names including BatForm, Mesmerize, Command, VampireCreation, GarlicImmunity, Hallucinate, DetectPersonality, VampireRun, IrresistibleSlumber and ManipulateLifeSpirit. 40961 is the vampire perk tree. Only that guide gives the syntax, so check the result in the powers panel. | |
Commandtraits.equip_trait TheMaster | What it doesGives the I Am the Master reward trait. | NotesEvery guide we found leaves the trait_ prefix off TheMaster, TrueMaster and RegainedHumanity, so type them as written. | |
Commandtraits.equip_trait TrueMaster | What it doesGives the A True Master reward trait. | NotesEvery guide we found leaves the trait_ prefix off TheMaster, TrueMaster and RegainedHumanity, so type them as written. | |
Commandtraits.equip_trait RegainedHumanity | What it doesGives the Regained Humanity reward trait. | NotesEvery guide we found leaves the trait_ prefix off TheMaster, TrueMaster and RegainedHumanity, so type them as written. |
The slow bite
Guides split on whether stats.set_stat commodity_BecomingVampire 2160 turns the Sim at once or over a couple of days. The vampire page has the lower numbers, which guides say work as a countdown.
Spellcaster cheats
Spellcaster ranks, bloodlines and curses
Several guides agree on these numbers, but EA doesn't publish them.
| Command | What it does | Notes | Copy |
|---|---|---|---|
Commandstats.set_stat rankedStatistic_WitchOccult_WitchXP 50 | What it doesSets the Sim to the Neophyte rank. | Notes | |
Commandstats.set_stat rankedStatistic_WitchOccult_WitchXP 350 | What it doesSets the Sim to Acolyte. | Notes | |
Commandstats.set_stat rankedStatistic_WitchOccult_WitchXP 850 | What it doesSets the Sim to Adept. | Notes | |
Commandstats.set_stat rankedStatistic_WitchOccult_WitchXP 1550 | What it doesSets the Sim to Master. | Notes | |
Commandstats.set_stat rankedStatistic_WitchOccult_WitchXP 2350 | What it doesSets the Sim to Virtuoso, the top rank. | Notes | |
Commandtraits.equip_trait trait_Occult_WitchOccult_BloodlineWeak | What it doesGives the Weak Bloodline trait. | Notes | |
Commandtraits.equip_trait trait_Occult_WitchOccult_BloodlineStrong | What it doesGives the Strong Bloodline trait. | Notes | |
Commandtraits.equip_trait trait_Occult_WitchOccult_BloodlineAncient | What it doesGives the Ancient Bloodline trait. | Notes | |
Commandbucks.unlock_perk witchPerks_<Path>_<n>_<Name> true 49153 <SimID> | What it doesUnlocks one spellcaster perk. 49153 is the spellcaster perk tree. | NotesOnly one guide gives this syntax and the full perk names, so check the perk panel after you run it. | |
Commandtraits.equip_trait trait_Curses_<Name> | What it doesAdds a spellcaster curse. | NotesOne guide lists names including TouchyFeely, HexofDuelist, InfectiousLaughter, NightStalker, Repulsiveness, WildMagic, SweatyStench, FountainOfMagic and PunchableFace. No other guide does, so some may be spelled differently in your game. |
About the curse names
Curses are traits too, so traits.equip_trait trait_Curses_TouchyFeely follows the same pattern as everything else on this page.
The full curse list comes from one guide, so if the game rejects a name, look at the spelling first.
Werewolf cheats
Werewolf ranks and traits
Progress uses its own stat. Several guides give these four values, and EA gives none.
| Command | What it does | Notes | Copy |
|---|---|---|---|
Commandstats.set_stat rankedStatistic_Werewolf_Progression 200 | What it doesSets the Sim to the Runt rank. | Notes | |
Commandstats.set_stat rankedStatistic_Werewolf_Progression 700 | What it doesSets the Sim to Prime. | Notes | |
Commandstats.set_stat rankedStatistic_Werewolf_Progression 1600 | What it doesSets the Sim to Veteran. | Notes | |
Commandstats.set_stat rankedStatistic_Werewolf_Progression 3000 | What it doesSets the Sim to Apex, the top rank. | Notes | |
Commandtraits.equip_trait trait_WerewolfPack_FriendA | What it doesMakes the Sim a Friend of the Moonwood Collective. | Notes | |
Commandtraits.equip_trait trait_WerewolfPack_FriendB | What it doesMakes the Sim a Friend of the Wildfangs. | Notes | |
Commandtraits.equip_trait trait_OccultWerewolf_InitiationBonusTrait | What it doesGives Lunar Confidant, which boosts relationships with other werewolves. | Notes | |
Commandtraits.equip_trait trait_OccultWerewolf_GreaterWolfBlood | What it doesGives Greater Wolf Blood, which speeds up werewolf progress. | Notes | |
Commandtraits.equip_trait trait_OccultWerewolf_DormantWolf | What it doesGives Dormant Wolf: the Sim carries the bloodline but never transforms. | NotesEA's own pregnancy guide describes this trait the same way. It's useful for bloodline families. | |
Commandtraits.equip_trait trait_OccultWerewolf_Temperaments_<Name> | What it doesAdds a werewolf temperament. | NotesOne guide lists roughly two dozen names, among them BigBadWolf, Carnivore, Territorial, HungryLikeTheWolf and Lunar_WolfMark. We couldn't confirm the longer list. | |
Commandtraits.equip_trait trait_OccultWerewolf_AspirationTraits_<Name> | What it doesGrants a werewolf aspiration reward trait. | NotesOne guide gives these names: BetterFuryControl (Refined Lupine), BetterTurning (Chomp Champion), FormerLycan (Werewolf Ally), FriendlyWolf (Fanged Friend) and MoreFear (Threatening Presence). It also drops the final letter of BetterFuryControl, which is its typo. |
Temperament and aspiration trait names
Temperaments and the aspiration reward traits come from a single guide, which also prints one name with a letter missing, so expect to try a couple of spellings.
Mermaid, alien and Servo cheats
Mermaid tail
Mermaids have no ranks, so the trait is all you set.
| Command | What it does | Notes | Copy |
|---|---|---|---|
Commandtraits.equip_trait trait_OccultMermaid_MermaidForm | What it doesToggles the tail on land. | Notes |
Servos
You'd normally build a Servo at a Robotics workbench. Only one guide publishes a trait command.
| Command | What it does | Notes | Copy |
|---|---|---|---|
Commandtraits.equip_trait trait_Humanoid_Robots_MainTrait | What it doesTurns a Sim into a Servo. | Notes | |
Commandtraits.remove_trait trait_Humanoid_Robots_MainTrait | What it doesTurns a Servo back into a Sim. | Notes |
Hydration, and where Servos come from
Mermaids swap the Hygiene need for Hydration. If Hydration is still there after you remove the mermaid trait, one guide lists traits.remove_trait trait_OccultMermaid_TYAE to put Hygiene back.
Servos aren't really occults, which is why you build one instead of turning a Sim.
Fairy cheats
Fairy ranks and traits
Two guides disagree on the middle ranks' numbers, but either one lands in the right rank.
| Command | What it does | Notes | Copy |
|---|---|---|---|
Commandstats.set_stat rankedStatistic_FairyOccult_FairyXP 0 | What it doesRank 1, Faint. | Notes | |
Commandstats.set_stat rankedStatistic_FairyOccult_FairyXP 500 | What it doesRank 2, Glowing. | Notes | |
Commandstats.set_stat rankedStatistic_FairyOccult_FairyXP 1500 | What it doesRank 3, Glimmering. | NotesSims Community puts the rank 3 threshold at 1376 instead. | |
Commandstats.set_stat rankedStatistic_FairyOccult_FairyXP 3000 | What it doesRank 4, Brilliant. | NotesSims Community gives 2628 for this rank. | |
Commandstats.set_stat rankedStatistic_FairyOccult_FairyXP 4500 | What it doesRank 5, Radiant, the top rank. | NotesSims Community gives 4252 for rank 5 and 4658 as the overmax value, which grants one extra ability point each time you enter it. | |
Commandstats.set_stat commodity_Motive_FairyOccult_EmotionalAppetite <number> | What it doesSets Emotional Force, the need that replaces Hunger for fairies. | NotesOnly one guide lists this command. | |
Commandtraits.equip_trait trait_ProblemFairy | What it doesGives the Problem Fairy trait. | Notes | |
Commandtraits.equip_trait HighFaeLineage | What it doesGives the High Fae Lineage trait. | NotesPC Gamer prints this short name, and Sims Community prints trait_OccultFairy_HighFaeLineage. If one comes back as an unknown trait, try the other. | |
Commandtraits.equip_trait LightPath_LightPixie | What it doesGives Happily Harmonious, the light path trait. | NotesSims Community prefixes it trait_FairyStories_, so try trait_FairyStories_LightPath_LightPixie if this form fails. | |
Commandtraits.equip_trait DarkPath_DarkPixie | What it doesGives Delightfully Discordant, the dark path trait. | NotesAs with the light path trait, Sims Community prefixes it trait_FairyStories_. | |
Commandbucks.unlock_perk fairyPerks_<Name> true 40961 <SimID> | What it doesUnlocks a single fairy ability. | NotesOnly one guide lists this syntax, and its tree number is the same one another guide gives for vampires, so check the ability panel after you run it. |
Why the fairy numbers differ between guides
Fairies arrived with Enchanted by Nature and are the least settled occult here. PC Gamer and Sims Community publish different experience thresholds for the middle ranks, and both numbers are in the notes.
The five ranks are Faint, Glowing, Glimmering, Brilliant and Radiant. Run either number and look at the rank in the game. Fairies also replace Hunger with Emotional Force, and only one source gives the command for setting it.
Unlock powers and perks
sims.get_sim_id_by_name Caleb Vatoreprints the Sim ID.- Then run
bucks.unlock_perk BatForm true 40961 SimID.
Why the tree numbers look wrong
The tree number one guide gives for fairies is the same one another guide gives for vampires, which is suspicious.
The console doesn't tell you anything useful either way, so check the power or perk panel before you build a save around it.

Frequently asked questions
How do you max out an occult rank?
Set the ranked statistic yourself: stats.set_stat rankedStatistic_Occult_VampireXP 1486 for Grand Master Vampire, or stats.set_stat rankedStatistic_Werewolf_Progression 3000 for Apex. The rank names are right for each pack, but the numbers only come from guides, so check the rank in the game afterward.
How do you turn a Sim back?
Remove the occult trait with traits.remove_trait and the same trait name you used to add it. The occult, its powers and its progress all go with it. After un-mermaiding a Sim, one guide also lists traits.remove_trait trait_OccultMermaid_TYAE to put the Hygiene need back in place of Hydration.
