Store Management Cheats

Running a retail store involves more than just managing money and employees. You also need to manage the store itself, from setting prices to dealing with customers. These store management cheats can help you fine-tune your store and make it a success.

• objects.gsi_create_obj 0x[objectID]: Spawns object by ID. Useful for replacing broken objects if you know the object ID.

This cheat can help you increase your profits, but be careful not to set the prices too high, or you might scare away customers.

• sims.give_satisfaction_points [number]: This cheat gives a Sim satisfaction points, which can be used to purchase reward traits.

Customer Cheats

Customers are the lifeblood of any retail business. While you can't directly control their behavior, these cheats can help you influence their experience and keep them happy.

• modifyrelationship [YourSimFirstName] [YourSimLastName] [TargetSimFirstName] [TargetSimLastName] [Amount] Relationship_Main: As mentioned earlier, this cheat can also be used to modify your relationship with customers. Improving your relationship with customers can lead to more sales and better reviews for your store.
• fillmotive [MotiveType]: While you can't directly refill a customer's motives, you can use this cheat on your own Sim to ensure that you're always in a good mood when interacting with customers. A happy and energetic Sim is more likely to make sales and provide excellent customer service.

While there aren't many cheats that directly affect customers, focusing on your Sim's interactions and relationships can go a long way in improving the customer experience. Keep your Sim happy, friendly, and attentive, and your customers will be more likely to buy your products and recommend your store to others.

Advanced Cheats and Tips

Ready to take your cheating game to the next level? These advanced cheats and tips can help you fine-tune your retail business and overcome any challenge.

• Using the Sim ID Cheat: As mentioned earlier, some cheats require the Sim ID of the Sim you want to affect. To get the Sim ID, use the cheat sims.get_sim_id_by_name [FirstName] [LastName]. Once you have the Sim ID, you can use it in other cheats, such as stats.set_skill_level or sims.give_satisfaction_points.
• Combining Cheats: Don't be afraid to combine cheats to achieve your desired effect. For example, you can use money cheats to invest in your store, then use employee management cheats to train your staff, and finally use store management cheats to optimize your prices and layout. By combining cheats strategically, you can create a truly unbeatable retail business.
• Experimenting with Different Settings: The Sims 4 is a sandbox game, so don't be afraid to experiment with different cheat settings and see what works best for you.
