To enter cheats in The Sims 4, first select a family and start the game. Then open the command console by pressing Ctrl + Shift + C. A command entry field will appear at the top of the screen. Enter "testingcheats true" and press Enter to enable cheats. This command is known as a developer code and activates access to almost all cheat codes.
Entering the "testingcheats true" command is not a mandatory first step, but since most other cheat codes will not work without it, we recommend starting with this command.

Bonus Traits
To give a toddler bonus character traits, one needs to level up all skills to the maximum before aging up and moving to the next level. However, there is a bug in the game that may prevent a child from receiving a trait. In such a case, cheat codes can help.
- traits.equip_trait trait_Happy_Toddler — happy toddler, if all skills were at level 3.
- traits.equip_trait trait_Top_Notch_Toddler — perfect toddler, if all skills are maximized.
Attention: using this cheat does not level up the toddler's skills, the child simply receives a character trait!

A bonus for players who skipped the infant stage and directly created a toddler. You can add such character traits:
Traits.equip_trait Infant_Unhappy — if the character did not receive enough attention and love from their parents during childhood.
Traits.equip_trait Infant_Happy — if the parents loved and cared for the character.

Interesting facts about toddlers
We have compiled a list of unusual, basic, and simply interesting facts about toddlers to help players better understand the peculiarities of this age in The Sims 4:
- Toddlers need to be protected; always keep an eye on their needs level. If a child is in danger, the game will warn about it and ask to help the Sim with their needs.
- Toddlers cannot be killed; instead of death, a social worker comes and permanently takes the unfortunate child to the orphanage. The child disappears from the family tree and cannot be brought back.
- Parents can raise their children strictly or calmly. This affects the family dynamics and the child's mood when they are around their parents.
- Toddlers do not have life goals; they appear only when they grow up.
- Skills in little Sims are also different from adults: potty training, imagination, movement — these skills can be developed only in toddlers.
- Adults can interact with their children in special ways: read a bedtime story, teach to talk, give a goodnight kiss.
- Infants can be cleaned using a small vacuum cleaner, which must be in an adult's inventory.
