The Sims 4 has long been a canvas for player creativity, but the release of the Enchanted by Nature expansion has opened the doors to a whimsical, ethereal realm that fundamentally changes the gameplay loop. Whether you are looking to master the arts of the faefolk, climb the ranks of the new Naturopath career, or simply experiment with the chaotic potential of the new occult system, the game offers a robust set of tools for those who prefer to bypass the grind.
For players who prefer to curate their story without the traditional time investment, the following guide serves as a definitive resource for Enchanted by Nature cheats. From skill acceleration to trait manipulation and occult progression, we break down how to bend the game’s code to your will.
The Core Philosophy: Why Use Cheats?
In the world of simulation gaming, "cheating" is rarely viewed as a shortcut to victory, but rather as a narrative tool. Enchanted by Nature introduces a deep, complex hierarchy of fairy progression, demanding hours of gameplay to reach the "Radiant" tier. By utilizing console commands, players can instantly unlock specific milestones, allowing them to focus on the storytelling aspects of the expansion—such as managing a delicate apothecary shop or exploring the dramatic, high-stakes consequences of emotional overload.
Before attempting to use any of the codes provided in this guide, ensure you have enabled the console by pressing Ctrl + Shift + C on your keyboard (or all four shoulder buttons on console controllers). Type testingcheats true and press Enter. This is the master key that grants you access to the game’s backend commands.
The Naturopath Career: A Professional Guide
Enchanted by Nature introduces the Naturopath career, a path that emphasizes holistic health, herbalism, and the intersection of modern medicine and nature. As your Sim climbs this ladder, they will eventually face a fork in the road: the empathetic path of the Lifestyle Coach or the mystical, chemistry-heavy route of the Apothe-curist.
If you find yourself stuck in a mid-level rut, or if you simply want to see the high-level rewards without the daily professional grind, you can use the following career cheats.
Naturopath Career Console Commands
| Career Path | Action | Cheat Code |
|---|---|---|
| Naturopath | Add Career | careers.add_career Naturopath |
| Naturopath | Retire | careers.retire Naturopath |
| Naturopath | Promote | careers.promote Naturopath |
| Naturopath | Demote | careers.demote Naturopath |
Note: These commands are case-sensitive and must be entered precisely as written to ensure the game engine recognizes the career identifier.
Mastering the New Skills: Apothecary and Natural Living
Two distinct skills define the Enchanted by Nature experience: Apothecary and Natural Living.
- Apothecary: This skill is essential for players who wish to craft elixirs, tinctures, and cures for the various ailments introduced in the expansion. High-level Apothecary allows for the creation of potent concoctions that can alter the emotional states of nearby Sims or even restore the health of failing plants.
- Natural Living: This skill governs your Sim’s proficiency in the great outdoors. It impacts gardening success, foraging yields, and the ability to commune with nature spirits.
To instantly set your skill levels to the maximum, use the following syntax:
stats.set_skill_level [Skill_Name] 10
- Apothecary:
stats.set_skill_level Major_Apothecary 10 - Natural Living:
stats.set_skill_level Skill_NLS 10
Personality and Reward Traits
Traits in Enchanted by Nature significantly alter the behavioral patterns of your Sims. The "Disruptive" trait, for example, makes a Sim a force of chaos, while the "Mystical" trait aligns them more closely with the supernatural occurrences of the neighborhood.
Standard Personality Traits
These can be assigned via the traits.equip_trait command. If you ever wish to remove them, simply swap the command for traits.remove_trait.
- Disruptive:
traits.equip_trait trait_Rogue - Mystical:
traits.equip_trait trait_Mystical - Plant Lover:
traits.equip_trait trait_Plantlover
Exclusive Occult Traits
The following traits are exclusive to Fairy Sims and represent the height of their lineage and social alignment.
- High Fae Lineage:
traits.equip_trait HighFaeLineage - Nature’s Best Bud:
traits.equip_trait NaturesBestBud - Well-Balanced Practitioner:
traits.equip_trait trait_NaturalMeds_HealsWithPills - Into the Everdew:
traits.equip_trait trait_FairyStories_Initiation_IntoThePixieland - Happily Harmonious (Light Path):
traits.equip_trait LightPath_LightPixie - Delightfully Discordant (Dark Path):
traits.equip_trait DarkPath_DarkPixie - Problem Fairy:
traits.equip_trait trait_ProblemFairy
The Drama of Death: Emotional Overload and Starvation
Death in The Sims 4 has always been an event, but Enchanted by Nature adds a layer of theatricality to the process. Fairy Sims, due to their heightened sensitivity to the emotions of others, are susceptible to two unique forms of expiration: Emotional Starvation and Emotional Overload.
The Mechanics of Endings
Emotional Overload occurs when a Fairy Sim absorbs too many volatile moodlets from the environment or other Sims. If you are a player interested in the darker narrative potential of the game, you can force these states.
Death by Emotional Starvation
traits.equip_trait trait_ghost_EmotionalStarvation
Note: While there is a direct cheat to apply the ghost trait for Emotional Starvation, Death by Emotional Overload must be triggered through gameplay by accumulating "Overload" moodlets. This is often achieved by having your Fairy Sim repeatedly perform "Absorb Emotion" interactions on Sims experiencing extreme emotional states.
The Hierarchy of Wings: Ranking Up as a Fairy
The most significant aspect of the expansion is the Fairy progression system. There are five distinct ranks, ranging from "Faint" to "Radiant." Each rank unlocks new magical abilities, including improved flight, advanced nature manipulation, and social aura adjustments.
Because there is no "set rank" cheat, you must use the experience points (XP) system to catapult your Sim to the top of the hierarchy. Use the following command:
stats.set_stat rankedStatistic_FairyOccult_FairyXP [Amount]
- Faint (0 XP):
stats.set_stat rankedStatistic_FairyOccult_FairyXP 0 - Glowing (500 XP):
stats.set_stat rankedStatistic_FairyOccult_FairyXP 500 - Glimmering (1,500 XP):
stats.set_stat rankedStatistic_FairyOccult_FairyXP 1500 - Brilliant (3,000 XP):
stats.set_stat rankedStatistic_FairyOccult_FairyXP 3000 - Radiant (4,500 XP):
stats.set_stat rankedStatistic_FairyOccult_FairyXP 4500
Implications of Cheating on Gameplay Stability
While using these cheats is generally safe, players should be aware of potential "save bloat" or minor script errors if they apply too many traits at once. It is highly recommended to save your game before executing mass trait changes.
Furthermore, it is important to note that the game currently does not offer a specific cheat to "turn" a regular Sim into a Fairy. This transformation must be handled via the standard in-game questline or by using the cas.fulleditmode command in the Create-a-Sim menu. To do this, type cas.fulleditmode into the console, then shift-click your Sim and select "Modify in CAS." This will allow you to manually select the Fairy occult type, which is the most reliable method for character creation.
Official Stance and Community Reception
Electronic Arts has long maintained a supportive stance toward the modding and cheating community within The Sims. By keeping the console accessible, they allow for a "sandbox" approach that ensures players can fix corrupted game states or circumvent bugs—such as a Sim getting stuck in a promotion loop or a skill failing to register.
The Enchanted by Nature expansion has been lauded for its depth, but the community has been vocal about the time-sink nature of the Fairy progression. The availability of these cheats serves as a "quality of life" relief valve, allowing players to skip the repetitive tasks and dive straight into the high-fantasy gameplay that makes the expansion so unique.
As you continue to explore the forests, laboratories, and mystical glades of this new expansion, remember that your game is yours to control. Whether you choose to play through the intended narrative or use these cheats to carve your own path, Enchanted by Nature offers a rich, magical experience that is bound to keep players occupied for many sim-years to come.
