Does UI Cheats work on console?

Updated Written for UI Cheats v1.59.1

No. The UI Cheats mod is a script mod, and The Sims 4 on PlayStation and Xbox can't load script mods of any kind. You can still type the game's own cheats with your controller.

v1.59.1· built for game patch 1.127.41Not confirmed yet on patch 1.129.39Released · weerbesu's changelog on uicheats.weerbesu.com, opens in a new tab

Why script mods don't run on console

A script mod is compiled code the game has to load and run. PC and Mac have a setting for that, Script Mods Allowed, and the console versions don't.

Why the files can't run on a console

The mod ships as two files, a package file and a script file. Both go into a Mods folder that the game reads at launch, under Documents on Windows and macOS. The package file draws the boxes and the script file does the work, so on a platform that never loads the script file, half the mod couldn't run even if you could get it there.

On PC and Mac the setting is under Game Options, Other, and the game ignores a script file until you switch it on and restart. The console versions don't offer the setting, because they don't support script mods at all.

The Marketplace that reached PlayStation and Xbox on 16 April 2026 doesn't change this. It sells Maker Packs and other cosmetic content, not script mods.

That's why the mod's own requirements only ever name Windows and macOS. Version 1.59.1 is built for game patch 1.127.41 on those two platforms, and the only other build the author offers is a frozen Legacy Edition release for 32-bit PCs and older Macs. PC and Mac are now on patch 1.129.39, which weerbesu hasn't confirmed for this build yet.

What you can do instead

  • Two Sims in a living room with the cheat console bar open across the top of the screen reading testingcheats true

    • They're the same as on PC, and there's nothing to install.

    Browse every cheat

  • A PlayStation-style controller with all four shoulder buttons lit up, and the cheat console bar open at the top of the screen

    The PlayStation buttons

    • Hold R1, R2, L1 and L2 together, and a text bar opens at the top left.
    • Press all four again to close it.
    • Hold Circle and press X to shift-click.

    How to enable cheats

  • An Xbox-style controller held in front of a television, all four shoulder and trigger buttons lit and the cheat bar open

    How to enable cheats

What typing can't match

We couldn't find a command that sets a single need to an exact value the way clicking a point on the bar does with the mod. fillmotive motive_hunger fills a need instead.

Household funds go the other way. money 145897 sets the balance precisely, the same result the mod gives you, so the only difference is typing it.

One more controller shortcut: hold L2 and R2 and press up or down on the D-pad to resize the selected object in Build mode. On Xbox it's LT and RT.

Frequently asked questions

Does UI Cheats work on PS4, PS5 or Xbox?

No. UI Cheats Extension is a script mod, and The Sims 4 on PlayStation and Xbox doesn't load script mods of any kind. There's no console build and no workaround, but you can still type the game's own cheats with your controller.

Some guides say it works on PlayStation 4. Are they right?

No. One widely read wiki page reports PlayStation 4 support with a different set of commands, and it's wrong. The other guides contradict it, and consoles can't load script mods at all.
