    This will fill all your Sims' needs bars. It only affects the Sims you control, not any NPCs or visitors in your household.
    • You can also click and drag the needs bars up and down with your mouse. This will stop working after you make needs static.

    How can I make my Sims needs not go down in Sims 4?

    Press Ctrl-Shift-C and type in "Testingcheats on" (without the "s) and then you can shift click on a Sim or mailbox and stop the needs from going down.

  • Question
    I shift-clicked on my mailbox and it said there were no interactions available, but my testing cheats were enabled. What should I do?
    Community Answer
    Try it again, making sure that it's written as "testingCheatsenabled true." Capital letters are important!

      Tips

      • With testingcheats enabled, you can remove negative moodlets by holding Ctrl and clicking on the moodlet. If the moodlet is connected to a need, doing this will fill the need partway.
        Thanks
      • If you only want to lock or slow down the decay of some motives for one Sim, you can purchase Lifetime Happiness Rewards that affect your Sim's motives. The ones you'll want to look for are Steel Bladder, Dirt Defiant, Carefree, Hardly Hungry, and Meditative Trance Sleep.
        Thanks
