The Sims 4’s Royalty & Legacy expansion transforms gameplay by letting players step into the world of aristocracy, where ambition, intrigue, and legacy shape every decision. But even the most cunning noble can benefit from a little shortcut. Whether you’re aiming to become a sword-wielding aristocrat, secure a prestigious dynasty, or master the art of social manipulation, these cheats will streamline your journey.
From instant skill mastery to dynasty prestige boosts, here’s how to bypass the grind and focus on the drama—without compromising the fun.
How to unlock cheats
To access the full range of Royalty & Legacy cheats, start by opening the cheat console with Ctrl + Shift + C. Once the console appears, type testingCheats true to enable advanced cheat functionality. This unlocks everything from skill adjustments to career promotions, making it easier to test strategies or recover from unexpected setbacks.
With the console active, you can dive into the cheats below—each designed to accelerate your rise to power.
The Fast Track to Noble Skills
Swordsmanship isn’t just for show—it’s the key to climbing the Noble career ladder and even pulling the legendary Simcalibur from the magic stone. Instead of training for hours, use Stats.set_skill_level major_Swordmanship 10 to max out your combat prowess instantly. Adjust the number to any level between 1 and 10 for finer control.
Traits That Command Respect
Some traits are harder to earn than others, especially the coveted Threadshifter, which requires completing Anansi’s Trials. Skip the challenge with Traits.equip_trait trait_Threadshifter. For a more polished noble persona, equip these traits directly
- Blue Blood – A mark of aristocratic heritage.
- Promised Noble Inheritance – Ensures your Sim is destined for greatness.
- Former Noble Hustler – For those who clawed their way up.
- Regal Romancer – Perfect for Sims with a flair for love and intrigue.
To remove any of these traits later, use Traits.remove_trait trait_Threadshifter (replace the trait name as needed).
