With The Sims releasing 22 years ago, it's only natural that millions have played the popular game series at least once in their life. It is generally considered to be a great, accessible tool for expression and creativity, so The Sims still finds its way into the homes of countless gamers, regardless of their age. This near-unlimited creativity leads The Sims to being one of the most replayable series of all time, and its range of hidden cheat codes only furthers this appeal.

While the vast majority of Sims players know classic cheats like «Kaching» and «Motherlode,» there are a few more odd cheats out there that don't necessarily help the player, but can lead to some pretty bizarre or even evil situations. While The Sims 5 hasn't been officially announced yet, and content is still being released for Sims 4, an inevitable sequel should definitely lean into these weirder cheats more than ever.

One of the more simple, but potentially hilarious cheats can be found in The Sims 4. By turning the cheat log on and clicking a Sim while pressing the Shift key, the selected Sim is instantaneously turned into a global superstar.
