Sims 4: How to Install UI Cheats Extension

To install UI Cheats Extension in The Sims 4, download the zip from weerbesu’s official Patreon post, which is free and public, then unzip it and put both the .package file and the .ts4script file in Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4 > Mods. In the game, open Game Options > Other, tick Enable Custom Content and Mods and Script Mods Allowed, and restart. To test it, load a household, right-click a need bar and enter a value: if the bar changes, both files have loaded.

Below we cover what the mod lets you click, every install step, how to tell whether the script half is running, what to do after a game patch, and the fixes that clear up most failures. It is PC and Mac only: per EA, mods cannot be installed on PlayStation or Xbox.

UI Cheats Extension at a Glance

What UI Cheats Extension Lets You Do

The mod replaces typing with clicking. In weerbesu’s words, it “allows you to use cheats by directly clicking on the UI.” If you would rather type, our full Sims 4 cheats list has the console commands the mod saves you from memorizing.

The creator’s feature list includes these:

• Needs: right-click a need bar and set a value from -100 to 100.
• Money: right-click the money counter to set your household funds, or left-click it to add $1,000.
• Skills: right-click a skill bar to set its level.
• Relationships: right-click a Sim in the relationship panel to set friendship or romance.
• Moodlets: right-click one to remove it.
• Aspirations: right-click a goal to complete it.
• Careers: right-click the job icon to promote or demote, or a performance bar to set it.
• The clock: right-click it and enter an hour from 0 to 23, so 15 means 3 PM.
• Perks: right-click a perk to lock or unlock it, across clubs, retail shops, restaurants, vet clinics, celebrities, vampires and spellcasters.

That list grows with new packs, so the current Patreon post is the place to look for anything recent.

How to Install UI Cheats Extension Step by Step

1. Check your game version. It appears at the lower left of the Main Menu. The post says the mod will not work on older game versions, so match the two before you go further. Legacy Edition has its own separate download, also linked from the post.
2. Download from weerbesu’s post. Skip reupload sites. EA’s advice is to download mods only from trusted sources, and a copy from elsewhere can be out of date.
3. Unzip the download. The game only reads .package and .ts4script files, so a zip dropped in the folder does nothing. Inside are the two files you need.
4. Move both files to your Mods folder. On Windows and Mac that is Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4 > Mods. You can use one subfolder, such as Mods\UI Cheats, but no deeper: weerbesu says script mods should sit at most one subfolder down. If you have never set up the folder, our guide to installing mods and custom content starts from scratch.
5. Keep one copy only. Delete any older UI Cheats Extension files before adding the new ones.
6. Turn on both options. Open Game Options > Other, tick Enable Custom Content and Mods and Script Mods Allowed, and apply the change.
7. Restart the game. The pop-up on the next launch lists the mods the game detected. Per the creator’s post, you should see the package under Custom Content and the script under Script Mods.

How to Tell Whether It Is Working

Two halves have to load, and weerbesu’s troubleshooting notes tell you when the script half failed:

• A cheat window opens, but nothing changes after you enter a value. The package is installed, but the script is not loading.
• Only the left-click money cheat works. The script is not installed correctly.

In both cases, go back to the .ts4script file: check Script Mods Allowed, check the folder depth, and make sure the file is there at all. If right-clicking does nothing at all, start with both options in Game Options > Other, then check that both files are in the right folder and out of the zip.

What to Do After a Game Patch

EA turns mods off with every game update, so you have to tick both options again after each patch. For this mod, version matching matters too. The post warns that most UI glitches or freezes come from a mismatch between the game and the mod.

As of November 8, 2026, the newest game patch is 1.129, released October 27, per EA’s update notes. The newest mod version is still v1.59.1 from August 27. The last game version its notes name is 1.127.41, under v1.59 from August 26, and weerbesu has not posted a version for the September 22 or October 27 patches. So after a patch:

1. Check the Patreon post for a new version before you load a save.
2. Replace, do not stack. Delete both old files, then add the two new ones.
3. Delete localthumbcache.package. Our guide to clearing the cache shows where it is.
4. Take the mod out if the interface misbehaves. If menus glitch or freeze and no update has been posted, remove both files until one is.

Our guide to fixing mods after a game update has the full routine for the rest of your folder.

When UI Cheats Extension Stops Working

Work through these in order:

• Script Mods Allowed is off. This is the first thing to check, especially right after a patch.
• The files are too deep. Move them to the top of Mods or to one subfolder.
• The files are still zipped. Extract them.
• You have two copies. Older versions left in a subfolder can sit beside the new one. Search your Mods folder and keep one set.
• The mod does not match your game. Compare your game version with the one in the post’s notes.
• Another mod is failing. A broken mod elsewhere can look like a UI Cheats problem. Our guide to finding broken CC walks through the 50/50 method, and our MC Command Center guide explains the LastException warnings that often name the file.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where is the official UI Cheats Extension download? On weerbesu’s Patreon post. It is a free public post, and copies on other sites can be out of date.

Is UI Cheats Extension free? Yes. The current version is posted free on weerbesu’s Patreon.

Does UI Cheats Extension work on PS5 or Xbox? No. Per EA, mods are only available on PC and Mac. Console players can still use the game’s built-in cheats.

Can UI Cheats Extension go in a subfolder? Yes, but only one level down. Script mods placed deeper will not load.

Why do cheat windows open but nothing happens? Per weerbesu’s notes, that means the package is installed but the script is not. Check that the .ts4script file is in your Mods folder and that Script Mods Allowed is ticked.

Does UI Cheats Extension work with the latest Sims 4 patch? As of November 8, 2026, weerbesu’s newest version, v1.59.1, predates EA’s September 22 and October 27 patches, and the creator has not posted a status for them. Check the post before you install, because a version mismatch is what its notes blame for most interface problems.

Do the steps change on a Mac? The folder is the same: per EA, the Electronic Arts folder sits in your user Documents on Mac. Use the zip from the same post.
