All cheats for The Sims 4 High School Years, from Sentiments to traits
Read here for a complete list of all The Sims 4: High School Years cheats, including increasing your school grade and after-school activity performance.
High School Years in The Sims 4 has plenty of cheats that'll help to take your Teen Sims from zero to hero in a flash, with codes to give them specific traits for their life stage and more.
Cheats in the game are a fantastic way to help propel a storyline along a little quicker or to take it in a slightly different direction, so whether you want one of your Sims to graduate as a Valedictorian or get expelled, the High School Years Expansion Pack has a fair few to use.
Sentiments in The Sims 4 give Sims specific relationships and memories with other Sims in the world. With High School Years, new sentiments were added that centre around teen life and prom.
To give two Sims a particular sentiment, you'll need to use this cheat: modifyrelationship (Sim1) (Sim2) 100 sentimenttrack_
At the end of that code, you'll then add the relevant sentiment from the below list:
|

To demote them instead, replace the word 'promote' with 'demote' in the above codes. These will only work on Teen Sims, however, and you'll need to use a set of different career cheats for Sims older than that life stage.

How to use cheats
Now that you've had a rundown of all the different cheats available to you with High School Years, you'll want to make sure you know how to use them. It's a pretty simple thing to do if it's something you've got no experience with, so follow these steps:
- If you're on PC, you'll want to press CTRL, Shift, C
- Mac users can press Command, Shift, C
- Console gamers, you'll need to hold in all four shoulder buttons of your controller
After you've done that, a white box will appear in the top-left of your screen. It's here where you'll enter all of the codes shown above.
Now that you know how to cheat your way to Valedictorian (if only it were so easy), check out our homepage for The Sims to learn the best mods you can download for CAS and gameplay, or cheats for Toddlers, relationships, and Discover University.
