Need to know how to promote your sims using career cheats in Sims 4? It’s incredibly rewarding to have your sim work hard and earn promotions through skills and dedication. But cheating also works.
The Sims 4 lets you change up your gameplay however you want, from allowing you to edit sims in CAS after you’ve already made them, to downloading and installing mods. Starting from the bottom and climbing the corporate ladder can be satisfying, but if you want it done quickly, you can cheat the career. Here’s how you do it.

How to promote sims with cheats
In order to successfully use the cheat, here’s the steps you need to follow:
- Open the cheat console by pressing Shift + Ctrl + C on keyboard or hitting all bumpers on controller
- Enable cheats by entering testingcheats on and hitting enter
- Enter the career cheat for your job and hit enter
Then, your sim will be promoted by exactly one level. You can continually use this cheat until you reach the top of your career if you want, or stop whenever you want. Unfortunately, there is no way to automatically reach the top of the career. You’ll need to use the cheat multiple times until you can’t be promoted any higher.
The cheat won’t work if your sim isn’t in the career you entered the cheat for. If your sim is a Tech Guru but you enter the cheat for Gardener, nothing will happen. You’ll need to either enter the corresponding cheat for the sim’s career or quit their current job and switch to the one you want.
That’s a lot of levels
There are ten levels per job in The Sims 4 for each career. Once hitting level five, you’ll be able to choose which track of the career your sim can go on. If you cheat promotions, you’ll still be prompted to pick a branch.
That’s everything you need to know about all the career cheats in Sims 4 and how to cheat promotions. Be sure to check out how to move objects freely and how to get free real estate in The Sims if you’re looking for more cheat codes.
