The Sims franchise is a captivating simulation game that allows players to create and control digital avatars, known as Sims. It’s essential to manage these Sims’ needs for hunger, fun, hygiene, energy, and more in order to lead successful and fulfilling lives. But sometimes, players look for ways to make their Sims’ needs static so they can focus on skills or relationships without worrying about constant needs management.

In this article, we’ll discuss three different ways you can make your Sims’ needs static.

1. Utilize In-Game Cheats

The simplest way to make your Sims’ needs static is by using in-game cheats. This method requires no extra downloads and works across all platforms. Press Ctrl + Shift + C at the same time to open the Cheat Console. Type in “testingcheats true” (without quotes) and press Enter. This enables developer’s mode.

Now you can enter the following command depending on the need you want to make static:
– “fillmotive motive_[NEED]” (without quotes) where [NEED] can be replaced with hunger, hygiene, energy etc.
Ensure you’ve selected the Sim whose needs you want to change before typing the cheat.

2. Mods

Mods are user-created content that alter aspects of a game like gameplay settings or assets. These mods can completely revitalize your Sims experience or make small changes according to your preference.

To make your Sims’ needs static through mods, you’ll need two things:

1. The Mod Conflict Detector: This tool helps with mod installation and compatibility issues.

2. A mod that matches your game version and works for making needs static.

One popular mod for this purpose is “UI_Cheats_Extension_v1.xx.zip” by weerbesu on Mod The Sims website/forum.

– Download the mod package and extract its contents.

– Place the extracted files in your Sims 4 mods folder located in your Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4 > Mods.

– Launch the game and go to Game Options > Other.

– Enable Custom Content and Mods by checking the appropriate box.

Now, when you’re in-game, simply click on a specific need in your Sim’s Needs panel, and it will fill instantly.

3. Reward Store

Another legitimate way to make your Sim’s needs static is by purchasing rewards from the Reward Store. This method doesn’t require cheats or mods but involves utilizing hard-earned aspiration or trait points.

– Save up around 4,000 reward points for your Sim by completing Whims and Aspirations.

– Go to the Aspiration panel and click the gift box icon at the bottom-right corner to access the Reward Store.

– Purchase the “Moodlet Solver” potion from the store for 500 points. This item fully restores all needs, including moods.

– Use Moodlet Solver each time your Sim’s needs require replenishment. It might be a little tedious, but it allows you to maintain good control over when and which needs are fulfilled on a consistent basis.

By implementing these three methods, you can make your Sims’ needs static while enjoying other gameplay aspects without worrying about fulfilling their necessities all the time. Remember that finding creative ways to explore relationships, pursue hobbies, and support goals make The Sims a uniquely captivating experience.
