UI Cheats Extension: change any number in The Sims 4 by clicking it
UI Cheats Extension makes the game’s own panels editable. Right-click a needs bar, a skill, a career, a relationship or the money counter, type the value you want, and the game takes it. You never open the console and you never type testingcheats. It is free, weerbesu wrote it, and the current release is v1.58, built for game 1.126.78.
The download post is edited in place for every release, so its slug changes each version while the numeric id 26240068 never does. We link the id.
What you can click, panel by panel
This is the whole feature list, folded into the panel it lives in. Left-click does something on only three of them; everywhere else the gesture is a right-click.
| Panel | Left-click | Right-click |
|---|---|---|
| Needs | Set a need to wherever you clicked on the bar | Type a value from -100 to 100. Right-click the panel icon to fill every need at once. |
| Needs, occult bars | — | Pick a vampire, spellcaster or werewolf rank; set the Power or Talent point counter; clear a curse or a temperament. |
| Simology, age and traits | — | Add or subtract days at the current age or across the whole life. Add traits and lifestyles from the green title bars; remove a trait, lifestyle, degree or Servo module by right-clicking it. |
| Simology, meters | — | Set a character value from -100 to 100; pick a Fame or Reputation rank; set the Fame or Influence counter; pick a Batuu faction rank; pick a ghost rank. |
| Simology, milestones | Set Balance and Imbalance to the clicked point | Add milestones for the current age, or edit which Sim, object, location, career, death type or trait an existing milestone was unlocked with. Open the neighbourhood NAP vote from the green title bar even for a lot your Sim does not live on. |
| Relationships | — | Set friendship or romance from -100 to 100, delete a relationship or just its romance bar, or add every Sim the game knows to the panel. |
| Skills | — | Pick a skill level, add skills that are not listed yet, add Skill Mastery perks, or remove one. |
| Career | — | Promote, demote, switch branch or jump straight to a level. Complete a promotion, daily, prep or work-from-home task. Set a performance or work reputation bar from -100 to 100, or remove a rival. |
| University | — | Change GPA, clear suspension or probation, and set a course grade from 0 to 100. |
| Aspirations | — | Fulfil an aspiration goal, or pick a Soul's Journey rank. |
| Social groups | — | Set club perk points, pick a university organization rank or complete its tasks, and set Dynasty Prestige or Unity. |
| Owned businesses | — | Set retail, restaurant, vet clinic and small business perk points; change a star rating; set small business renown or alignment. |
| Money counter | Add $1,000 | Type an exact household balance, in Simoleons, Galactic Credits, bits or pieces. |
| Moodlets and wants | — | Remove a moodlet, or complete or re-roll a want. |
| Clock and world | — | Set the hour from 0 to 23, change season, weather or lunar phase, and set a lot or neighbourhood eco footprint from -500 to 500. |
| Sim profile | — | Add relationship bits and sentiments from the green title bars, set a sentiment from 0 to 100, pick a skill level, or set a known Attraction or Romantic Satisfaction. |
| Events, holidays, scenarios | — | Complete an event goal, a holiday tradition or a scenario goal. |
| Buy, sell and rewards | — | Change quantity by 10 with the arrows, and unlock anything in the Rewards Store. |
| Perk purchase panels | — | Unlock or re-lock a perk, a werewolf dormant ability or a fame quirk. |
| Bills, collections, achievements | — | Set power and water storage, repeal an enacted policy, spawn a collection item into the inventory, change a Sim stat, or unlock an achievement. |
| Create a Sim | — | Right-click the confirm tick to randomise name, traits and aspiration, which is how you make a test Sim in one click. |
| Version readout | — | Right-click the notebook icon beside the phone, or run ui_cheats.mod_version in the console in Live mode. |
What is in the zip, and why both files matter
Two files, and the mod does nothing useful with only one of them. This is the single most common support question, and knowing which half is missing tells you exactly what went wrong.
UI_Cheats_Extension.packageCarries 24 patched copies of the game's own interface movies, which is what makes a needs bar or a money counter respond to a right-click at all.
UI_Cheats_Extension.ts4scriptA Python script mod registering 71 commands in the ui_cheats namespace. The clicked panel calls one of them with the value you typed; this layer performs the change.
The version readout lives in the script half, so it is also a working install test:
ui_cheats.mod_versiontype in the cheat console, Live modeInstall it once, correctly
- Download the zip from the Patreon post. It is free and public; the paid tiers buy support, never the file.
- Delete any older UI_Cheats_Extension.package and UI_Cheats_Extension.ts4script first. A leftover copy is a documented cause of the mod misbehaving.
- Extract, and put both files in Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\Mods, no more than one subfolder deep. The script will not load from deeper than that.
- In Game Options, Other, switch on Enable Custom Content and Mods and Script Mods Allowed, then restart the game. When it worked, the package appears under Custom Content and the script appears under Script Mods.
The one that catches everyone
If cheat dialogs open and nothing happens after you type a value, the package loaded and the script did not. Move the .ts4script up so it is at most one folder deep, and check that Script Mods Allowed is on.
Recent releases
The mod tracks EA’s patch cadence roughly one to one, usually landing within about a week of a patch. Rows marked as reported come from the live post through search results and trackers rather than a direct read, because Patreon returns an error to every automated fetch available to us. The last column says which is which, row by row.

What it will not do
Most of this is documented by the creator on the download post. The two rows credited to us came out of opening the zip and comparing every file in it against an installed game.
| What you see | Why | Whose finding |
|---|---|---|
| Cheat dialogs open, then nothing happens | The package loaded and the script did not. Almost always the .ts4script buried more than one folder deep, or Script Mods Allowed switched off. | weerbesu, on the download post |
| Only the left-click $1,000 money cheat works | The same fault seen from the other side: that one behaviour lives in the click layer, so it survives when the script layer is missing. | weerbesu, on the Mod The Sims listing |
| Panels missing, glitched or frozen after a game patch | A version mismatch, every time. The mod is built against one game build and states plainly that it will not work on older ones. | weerbesu, on the download post |
| It fights any other mod that touches the interface | One of the 24 overridden files is classlibraryolympus, the shared class library for the whole interface, so the collision surface is not limited to the panels being cheated. Whichever mod the game reads first wins. | weerbesu states the conflict; the class library detail is our own teardown |
| Installing it quietly rolls some panels back | Because the mod ships copies of the game's interface files rather than hooking them, 20 of the 24 copies in v1.58 are older than the ones in the current game. Nothing warns you, and no source documents it. | our own teardown against game build 1.126.73.1030 |
| No undo, no confirmation, no settings | A mis-click commits immediately, and the left-click behaviours cannot be switched off. No source describes any toggle, preview or undo. | absence across every primary source |
| Console players cannot use it | PlayStation and Xbox do not load script mods at all, and this mod needs its .ts4script. Console cheats are typed instead. | platform limitation |
Legacy Edition players, meaning 32-bit PC and non-Metal Mac, use a separate build that has not been updated since 2019: the Mod The Sims listing. Do not install that one on the normal 64-bit game.
Prefer to type? The console does more
The mod reaches the panels the game draws. The console reaches everything the game registers, which is a much larger set, and it needs no mod at all. Of the 1847 commands The Sims 4 registers, 633 run in a retail game. The rest are debug and automation commands that do nothing at all when a player types them. We read those numbers out of the game rather than off another cheat list.

Common questions
Is UI Cheats Extension free?
Yes. The download post is public and carries no minimum pledge, and the creator states that all mods are always available publicly. The Patreon tiers buy support and voting, never the file. Any site charging for the zip or hiding it behind a survey is a re-upload.
Which version do I have installed?
Right-click the notebook icon next to the phone icon in Live mode, or open the cheat console and run ui_cheats.mod_version. That command ships inside the mod, not in the game.
Do I still need testingcheats with it?
No. The mod dropped that requirement in 2015 and was fully decoupled from it in 2017. You still need testingcheats true for the console cheats on the rest of this site, which are a separate thing.
It stopped working after a game patch. Is that the mod?
Almost certainly a version mismatch. Each release is built against one specific game build, and weerbesu states plainly that it will not work on older ones. Update the game, take the current release, and make sure only one copy of each file is in the Mods folder.
Can I use it on PlayStation or Xbox?
No. Consoles do not load script mods at all and this mod needs its script file, so there is no console build. Console players type cheats with the controller instead.
Do you host the download here?
No. Every download button on this site points at the creator who made the mod. There is no stated licence on any of the creator pages for this mod, and no licence means no permission to re-host, so we link and credit instead.
