The Sims 4
Sims 4 Money Cheats
There are more ways to get Simoleons than the one word everybody knows, and two of them are better: setting an exact balance, and making every lot in the neighbourhood free. Both are on this page with the syntax the parser expects.
The three legacy words work without enabling cheats first. Everything else needs testingcheats true.
FreeRealEstate has to be typed on the world map screen, not while you are standing on a lot. Entered in the wrong place it fails silently, which is the single most common reason people think it is broken.

Setup
The three word cheats — motherlode, rosebud, kaching — work without it. Everything else here does not.
Add 50,000 Simoleons
The fastest single top-up in the game, and repeatable.
Instant cash
Add 1,000 Simoleons
A small top-up carried over from the original Sims.
Instant cash
Add 1,000 Simoleons (alias)
Does exactly what rosebud does.
Instant cash
Set an exact balance
Replaces household funds with the figure you type.
Exact amounts
Sets rather than adds. Typing a smaller number than you currently hold takes money away.
Add a specific amount
Adds the amount you name to the active household without replacing the balance.
Exact amounts
Subtract a specific amount
Takes the amount you name off the household balance.
Exact amounts
Free houses on
Every lot in the neighbourhood becomes free to move into.
Property
Only works from the world map screen. Entered on a lot it silently does nothing, which is why most people think it is broken.
Free houses off
Restores normal lot prices.
Property
Bills pay themselves
Household bills are settled automatically as they arrive.
Bills
Bills back to normal
Returns to paying bills by hand at the mailbox.

Not money, but it removes the usual reason for wanting it — buy locked items at list price.

Which Money Cheat to Use
motherlode adds 50,000 Simoleons and is repeatable, so it is the fastest route to any amount you like — type it four times for 200,000. rosebud and kaching add 1,000 each and are the same cheat under two names, kept from the original Sims for people who remember them.
For anything precise, use Money followed by a number. It is worth reading that one carefully: it SETS the household balance rather than adding to it. Typing a figure smaller than your current total takes money away, which is genuinely useful for a challenge run and a nasty surprise otherwise.
sims.modify_funds is the one to reach for when you want to add or subtract a specific figure without replacing the total. It takes a signed number, so +1000 adds and -1000 removes, and the sign is not optional.
Free Real Estate and Bills
FreeRealEstate on makes every lot in the neighbourhood cost nothing to move into, which is a far bigger effect than any amount of cash — you can put a household into the most expensive property in the world for free. It has one rule that trips up almost everyone: it must be entered from the world or neighbourhood map, with no lot loaded. Type it while playing a household and nothing happens and nothing is said.
The other quiet money saver is household.autopay_bills true, which settles bills as they arrive. It removes the failure state where an unpaid bill cuts the power and the fridge stops working while you are busy elsewhere. Set it back to false when you want the challenge again.
None of these are the same as bb.ignoregameplayunlocksentitlement, which does not give you money at all — it makes career-reward objects buyable at their normal price. It is on this page because it removes the most common reason people wanted the money in the first place.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the money cheat in The Sims 4?
motherlode adds 50,000 Simoleons and can be repeated as often as you like. rosebud and kaching each add 1,000. None of the three require testingcheats to be enabled first.
How do I set an exact amount of money?
Type Money followed by the figure you want, for example Money 145897. It sets the household balance to that number rather than adding to it, so a smaller figure than your current total will reduce your funds.
Why is FreeRealEstate not working?
It only works from the world or neighbourhood map screen. Entered while you are on a lot it fails without any message at all. Go out to the map, open the cheat bar there, and type FreeRealEstate on.
How do I add money without replacing my balance?
Use sims.modify_funds with a signed number — sims.modify_funds +1000 adds a thousand, and sims.modify_funds -1000 removes it. The plus or minus sign is required.
Do money cheats disable achievements?
The legacy words do not require testingcheats, so on their own they do not trigger the achievement block. Anything using the dotted command syntax does need testingcheats, and enabling that disables Achievements or Trophies on the current save.
