Careers are essential to life in The Sims 4. However, sometimes it can take a little while to climb the ladder with all the skills you have to build to advance through a career. So we’ve compiled the complete list of The Sims 4 Career Cheats for you to use as you wish!

How to Enable Cheats in The Sims 4
Before you can start using cheats in The Sims 4, you must first properly enable them in the game. Here’s how to do it on each platform:
- Windows: CTRL + SHIFT + C
- Mac: Command + SHIFT + C
- PS4: L1, L2, R1 and R2.
- Xbox One: LB, LT, RB and RT
Once the cheat console pops up, type “testingcheats on” or “testincheats true” and press enter. Cheats are now enabled in The Sims 4.
To use career cheats, make sure that once you have enabled cheats, you have selected the sim that you want to promote/demote before inputing the appropriate cheat code.
