The Sims 4: UI Cheats Extension Review + How to Use It

There are certain mods for The Sims 4 that are total necessities if you want to have a seamless experience playing the game. These must have mods have capabilities that you just can’t do in the vanilla game and UI cheats is a great example of this.

With this mod you are able to click on the UI in game to change things like your family funds, your relationships, and your needs without having to remember these crazy long cheat codes that are in the actual game. This can make it so easy to create interesting sims and storylines with these cheats.

How to Use UI Cheats

As you can see there are so many features in the UI cheats mod that you can use. The basics of using this mod is just right clicking on pretty much any UI in the game. For example, if you want to change the time of the day you can right click on the clock in the middle of the UI bar and a pop up will appear where you can change to any time of the day.

Another great thing you can do is to click to fill needs for your sims. You can click anywhere on your sims need bar and it will change your sims needs to wherever you clicked. Just be careful because if you click and make it too far in the red, your sim can starve or a child may be taken away.

You can use these UI cheats for things like neighbourhood action plans, life stage progress (age), aspiration achievements and so much more. Just simply right click on these things to make it work.

How to Install UI Cheats Extension

Installing the UI cheats extension is easy, the first step is to heard over to weerbesu’s patreon page where you’ll find the UI cheats extension page and you can scroll down and click on the zip folder download.

You’ll then want to unzip the file by clicking on it in your downloads folder, once it’s open you want to drag it into your mods folder that you can find under the electronic arts > sims 4 folders in your documents.

Make sure that you don’t put the file too deep in your mods folder, since it is a mod and not custom content you want to make sure it is in the first level of your mods folder so it works properly.
