Essential Gameplay Cheats
While The Sims 4: Royalty & Legacy is designed for strategic dynasty building and noble pursuits, certain gameplay cheats can offer a more relaxed or experimental approach. To access the cheat console, press Ctrl + Shift + C on PC/Mac, or all four shoulder buttons on PlayStation/Xbox. A white bar will appear at the top of the screen. Type testingcheats true and press Enter to enable cheats. Once enabled, you can use various commands to alter your gameplay.
For instance, to instantly gain Prestige for your dynasty, you can use the stats.set_skill_level Major_Royalty 10 cheat to max out the Royalty skill, which directly influences Prestige. Alternatively, you can directly add Prestige points using the sims.add_prestige [amount] command, though this requires knowing the exact numerical value of Prestige you wish to grant. Remember that Prestige is a core mechanic for unlocking dynasty perks and advancing your noble house's standing.
Another useful cheat involves manipulating Sim relationships. The modifyrelationship [YourSimFirstName] [YourSimLastName] [TargetSimFirstName] [TargetSimLastName] [Amount] LTR_Friendship_Main command can be used to instantly forge strong friendships or even romantic bonds, which can be crucial for strategic marriages within your dynasty or for securing alliances with other noble families. A positive amount will increase the relationship, while a negative amount will decrease it. For example, modifyrelationship Bartholomew Balthazar Beatrice Beauchamp 100 LTR_Friendship_Main would make Bartholomew Balthazar best friends with Beatrice Beauchamp.
To quickly resolve negative moodlets or gain specific traits that might aid in your noble endeavors, the traits.equip_trait [trait_name] command is invaluable. For example, equipping the Noble trait can provide a significant boost to your Sim's interactions within the royal court. Conversely, using traits.remove_trait [trait_name] can help remove unwanted traits that might hinder your dynasty's progress. Always ensure you are typing trait names precisely as they appear in the game.
