Want to become a Super Parent in Sims 4 without the endless cycle of tantrums and bedtime battles? This guide is your express ticket to maxing out your Sim’s Parenting Skill using cheats. We’ll show you how to activate cheats, enter the code, and instantly unlock all those sweet parenting perks, including the coveted Super Efficient Care. Whether you’re a seasoned Simmer or a newbie, this guide has you covered.

Why Use the Parenting Skill Cheat?

Raising a Sim child can be rewarding, but also time-consuming. Sometimes, you just want to fast-forward to the fun parts – shaping your little Sim into a prodigy or building a strong family bond. Cheating the Parenting Skill allows you to:

Bypass the Grind: Skip the repetitive tasks and instantly gain high-level parenting abilities.
Focus on Your Story: Concentrate on other aspects of your Sims’ lives, like careers or relationships.
Experiment with Styles: Try different parenting approaches without investing hours in skill-building.
Rescue a Legacy: Quickly gain essential skills in legacy challenges where time is precious.

Enabling Cheats: Your First Step to Super-Parenting

Before you can unleash your inner Super Parent, you need to activate cheats. Here’s how:

PC/Mac: Press Ctrl + Shift + C (or Command + Shift + C on Mac) simultaneously. A text box will appear at the top of your screen.
Console (PlayStation/Xbox): Press and hold all four shoulder buttons (L1+R1+L2+R2 on PlayStation, LB+RB+LT+RT on Xbox). The text box will appear as it does on PC/Mac.
The Magic Words: In the text box, type testingcheats true (or testingcheats on for some older versions) and press Enter. This enables cheat mode.

The Cheat Code: Instant Parenting Expertise

Now for the main event! The cheat code to boost your Sim’s Parenting Skill is:

Benefits of Each Parenting Skill Level

Higher Parenting Skill levels unlock powerful interactions. Some key benefits include:

Level 5: Super Efficient Care: Tend to multiple children’s needs at once – a lifesaver!
Higher Levels: Influence character values more effectively, resolve negative traits, and offer better advice. Some players even suggest it might subtly improve children’s overall success, though this is still debated within the community. More research is needed!

A Word of Caution: Potential Drawbacks of Cheating

While generally safe, using cheats may disable achievements or trophies in some cases. It could also affect your perceived sense of accomplishment. If you’re concerned, save your game before using any cheats.

Troubleshooting: Cheat Not Working?

If the cheat isn’t working, try these steps:

Double-Check Typing: Ensure the code is entered correctly, including capitalization.
Verify testingcheats: Make sure you’ve activated testingcheats true successfully.
Update Your Game: An outdated game version can sometimes interfere with cheats. The Sims 4 frequently updates, and sometimes these changes impact how existing cheats function.

The Parenting Skill cheat is just the tip of the iceberg! There’s a whole world of Sims 4 cheats to explore, from character values to relationship boosts. Check out these resources for more:

Carl’s Sims 4 Guide: A comprehensive resource for all things Sims 4, including detailed cheat guides. While a specific link for parenting cheats isn’t provided to avoid outdated information with frequent patches, the site is an excellent overall resource.
