The latest expansion for The Sims 4 introduces a wealth of entrepreneurial opportunities for your Sims. Whether you are running a legitimate pottery studio or an underground tattoo parlor, using The Sims 4 Businesses & Hobbies cheats can help you skip the grind and jump straight to success.

With these codes, you can swap the alignment of your in-home hustle from lawful to shady, level up your skills, or grab new aspiration reward traits instantly.

Pottery and Tattooing Skill Cheats

The Businesses & Hobbies expansion introduces two brand-new skill tracks. Before you attempt to set a specific level, ensure you have enabled cheats by entering testingcheats true into the cheat console.

Note: The artistic pottery reconstruction art, Kintsugi, is not a separate skill track. You will unlock the "repair ceramic" interaction once your Pottery skill reaches level 7.

Essential The Sims 4 Businesses & Hobbies Trait Cheats

There are two new standard Sim traits included in this expansion: Idealist and Shady. You can add or remove these through the cheat console, or by using cas.fulleditmode to select "Edit in CAS" and finding them in the Social traits section.

Please remember that Shady and Idealist are mutually exclusive; you must remove one before adding the other.
