If you’re tired of managing your Sim’s hunger, energy, or bathroom breaks in The Sims 4, you’re not alone. Luckily, there are a few easy ways to make your Sim have no needs at all—whether you want to freeze them, instantly fill them, or remove them completely. Here’s how to do it using cheats, traits, or mods.
Option 1: Use Cheats to Freeze or Fill Needs
Step 1: Enable Cheats
Before using any need-related cheat, open the cheat console:
- PC: Press
Ctrl + Shift + C
- Mac: Press
Command + Shift + C
Then type:
nginxCopyEdittestingcheats true
Fill All Needs Instantly
Use the following cheat to max out all your Sim’s needs:
CopyEditsims.fill_all_commodities
Or fill one need at a time:
nginxCopyEditfillmotive motive_hunger
(Replace hunger with: fun
, energy
, bladder
, hygiene
, or social
)
Freeze (Lock) All Needs
Shift + click on your Sim (with cheats enabled), then choose:
nginxCopyEditCheat Need > Disable Need Decay
This will stop all needs from decaying.
To re-enable them:
nginxCopyEditCheat Need > Enable Need Decay
Option 2: Use a Trait to Stop Needs Completely
Use this cheat to make all needs static permanently:
kotlinCopyEdittraits.equip_trait NeedsStatic
Your Sim will no longer experience any need decay at all.
To remove it later, use:
kotlinCopyEdittraits.remove_trait NeedsStatic
Option 3: Use Mods for Easy Need Control
If you prefer a visual interface:
- MC Command Center (MCCC): Offers full need management.
- UI Cheats Extension: Lets you click and drag needs directly in the UI—super convenient.
Final Tip
Want your whole household to be needs-free? You can apply these cheats to each Sim individually, or use mods to apply changes globally.
With these options, you can focus on storytelling, building, or chaos—without worrying about when your Sim last showered. Let me know if you want a no-needs setup for pets or NPCs too!
