In The Sims 4 virtual universe, the “Get Famous” expansion pack lets players get into the glitzy world of celebrity life.
Whether through acting or social influence, Sims can ascend to stardom.
But here’s the catch: the journey isn’t always smooth; it takes time and effort.
That’s where the fame cheat steps in.
Fame cheats are a go-to for players who want to fast-track their Sims’ rise to stardom.
These cheat codes bypass the usual grind, instantly elevating Sims to celebrity status.
With perks and challenges galore, it’s a shortcut that transforms gameplay to suit individual preferences.
Getting Started with Sims 4 Fame Cheats
To successfully apply Sims 4 Fame Cheats, players must first enable cheats in their game. This is a crucial step and the foundation for any subsequent cheat codes they wish to use.
Enabling Cheats
- Press CTRL + SHIFT + C on PC or Command + SHIFT + C on Mac to open the cheat console.
- Type in testingcheats true and hit Enter. A message should appear confirming that cheats are now active. If playing on a console, one must press all four shoulder buttons simultaneously to open the cheat console.
Inputting Fame Points Cheat
Once cheats are enabled, players can give their Sims instantaneous fame. To do this:
- Open the cheat console again.
- Enter: famepoints {number}, replacing {number} with the desired amount of fame points.
Important Considerations
- Players should replace {number} with an actual number, without the curly braces.
- Using cheats can affect the game experience by bypassing the natural progression system.
Troubleshooting
- If cheats do not work, players should double-check that they have typed testingcheats true correctly.
- They should also ensure there are no typos in the fame points cheat command.
Players should remember to use these cheats responsibly as they can significantly alter the gameplay experience in “The Sims 4”. Cheating in fame points offers a way to explore various celebrity-related gameplay features without the usual in-game time investment.
Activating Cheat Codes
Once cheats are enabled, players can input specific cheat codes to modify their Sims’ fame levels. Cheat codes must be entered into the same cheat console. There are different methods to input cheats, such as:
- Typing the desired cheat directly into the console, e.g., famepoints 100 to add 100 fame points.
- Shift-clicking on a Sim or object to bring up a context-specific menu and selecting the cheat action from there.
Players should remember that incorrectly entered cheats will not execute and may require re-entry. Additionally, the use of cheats can affect gameplay and disable achievements for the current save file.
Fame Level Modification
Decreasing Fame Levels
Conversely, to decrease a Sim’s fame level, there isn’t a direct cheat code. Instead, players must shift their strategies. They can remove fame points by using fame-quelling actions or by choosing not to perform fame-increasing activities. This may involve avoiding public appearances, social interactions, and other fame-inducing scenarios that would otherwise increase their celebrity status in the game.
Earning Fame Points Quickly
Beyond the basics, players can unlock specific fame perks to augment their Sims’ celebrity experience. The cheat format for fame perks generally follows this pattern:
bucks.unlock_perk {PerkName} true 61441 {SimID}
For SimID, one must replace it with the ID of the Sim to whom they’re applying the perk. To find a Sim’s ID, players can use sims.get_sim_id_by_name {FirstName} {LastName}.
Here is an outline of available fame cheat codes and steps to use them swiftly and efficiently:
- Open the cheat console
- Enable cheats with testingcheats true
- Input famepoints {number} to add fame points
- Unlock specific perks with perk-specific cheats
Remember, this approach bypasses the game’s intended route to fame, offering an immediate boost to a Sim’s celebrity status.
Managing Public Image and Reputation
A Sim’s public image is crucial to ascending the ranks of fame. To improve it, players can have their Sims perform positive actions such as charity work or networking with well-known celebrities. Additionally, players can use the “Increase Celebrity Level” cheat to instantly boost their Sim’s fame and public image.
Conversely, a bad reputation stems from negative actions like public fights or scandals. While this could generate buzz, it’s often detrimental in the long run. Sims found with negative reputations can attempt to rehabilitate their image by apologizing to others or doing damage control through PR. Alternatively, players might opt for the “Set Reputation” cheat to quickly adjust their Sim’s reputation.
