New Sims 4 Cheats, Updates Coming In December: Here's How To Unlock New Items

Since The Sims 4 launched on PC back in September, the team at Maxis has worked hard to continuously update the game monthly to feature new items, clothes, and other changes. The October update brought Star Wars costumes, and the November update included the highly-demanded pools make a comeback. What's new in December? In addition to normal bonus items, there is also an added Holiday Celebration Pack that is a free download. Let's take a look at everything that's included, which can be downloaded right now.

New Careers

One of the biggest additions to The Sims 4 in December is the addition of four new careers, two in Business and two in Athletic. The new Business positions open are Angel Investor and Business Tycoon. These are obviously towards the end of the Business career path. The two new Athletic positions are Hall of Famer and Mr. or Ms. Solar System, the title held by a professional body builder. It seems your Sim will have to hit the gym or the books if you want to eventually make it to one of these four new positions.

Sims will also be able to take Paid Time Off from their jobs, and may become irritable if they go too long without a break. Families will also be able to take advantage of Family leave when a new member is being born.

New Clothes

There is a ton of new clothing coming in both the update as well as the included Holiday Celebration Pack. Coming in the basic update is a few new articles of clothing that will tie into the new careers mentioned above. Expect to see power business suits, sports jerseys, and even a gold track suit. Additionally, new clothing options in the Holiday Celebration pack include ugly Christmas sweaters, reindeer hats, pointy elf hats, and more.

New Cheats

The new cheat coming to The Sims 4 is the "Move Objects" cheat. The Move Objects Cheat allows players to create unique objects by combining two or more items. For example, a player can combine a bed and curtains to create a canopy bed. You can use the cheat with any object, so be sure to experiment with what you can create.

To activate the cheat:

1. Type Ctrl-Shift-C to bring up the game’s console.
2. Enter “testingcheats true”
3. Enter “bb.moveobjects”
4. Enter “Ctrl-Shift-C” to close the dialog box
5. To turn off the cheat, repeat steps 1-4.

Note, once the cheat is off, you can’t move the affected objects. If you do, the “moveobject” ability will be lost.

Want to have all of tis new content without having to work of it? You're now in luck. Follow the same steps as above, but in step 3 enter "bb.ignoregameplayunlocksentitlement" instead. This will unlock everything that is tied to careers. If you don't want to even try, enter "sims.give_satisfaction_points #" in Step 3 to give your Sim as many satisfaction points as you want.

New Stuff

What would a The Sims update be if there also wasn't a ton of new items and other things to buy? Coming in the December update, players can expect to find new items based off of the new career paths. These items will unlock with each new level of your career you unlock. Career Reward Rooms will also change in the Build Mode to reflect these new paths. Additionally, a Strictly Business Gnome will be featured. What more do you need? He's a Gnome in a business suit.

Coming with the Holiday Celebrations pack, plaers will find all sorts of holiday themed goodies including a Christmas tree, a snowman, a Menorah, a Kinara (the candle-holder for Kwanzaa celebrations), various types of garland, wreaths, and other fun and festive items. There's even a winter speaker that will play new Holiday music!
