fast-track skill mastery
or experiment with different gameplay styles, incorporating cheats can open up new possibilities for exploring all the features the expansion has to offer. Here’s how to add Mastery Perks with cheats in The Sims 4.
When playing the game without cheats, Sims are limited to having a maximum of four Mastery Perks. However, cheats allow players to bypass this restriction and add perks beyond the default limit. Although the in-game UI does not display the perks added through cheats, a subtle notification sound will confirm that a perk has been successfully added. Players can verify these additional perks by using the Mastery Perk Remover or Mastery Perk Bestower potions, which provide a clear overview of all perks assigned to a Sim. They will be then able to benefit from each one of them.

To remove traits instead of equipping them, players need to replace ‘equip’ with ‘remove’ in the first part of the code (traits.remove_trait). However, since the Mastery Perk Remover costs only 100 Satisfaction Points each, it might also be worth using the satisfaction points cheat to manually drink the potion each time.
