The Sims 4 Realm of Magic introduces a brand-new life state known as “Spellcasters” to The Sims series. Human in appearance but able to harness the power of four different magical disciplines, spellcasters encompass a number of previously discrete Sim occult types including witches/wizards, fairies, and genies.
Spellcasters enjoy many perks as they advance through their unique and branching perk tree. However, despite their impressive powers, they can be quite a vulnerable bunch too, prone to falling prey to some nasty curses (or even potentially dying!) if their magic goes haywire.
Whether you’re looking to cheat your way to the top of your Sim’s chosen magical school or free them from the adverse effects of a spell misfiring, these The Sims 4 Realm of Magic cheats are here to help you out!

How to become a spellcaster using cheats in The Sims 4
To use most of the cheats on this page – and in The Sims 4 in general – you’ll need to begin by enabling cheats in the command console.
Open the command console by pressing Ctrl + Alt + Delete on PC/Mac, or by pressing all four shoulder buttons at once on PlayStation/Xbox.
Once the console is open, type in the following cheat to get things started:
testingcheats true
You can reverse the process, replacing “true” with “false”, whenever you want to turn cheats back off again. However, players on console should be aware that using cheats permanently disables achievements/trophies for that save, even if you turn testingcheats back off when you’re done.
Next, in order to become a spellcaster using cheats, you’ll need to have The Sims 4 Realm of Magic game pack installed. You can then enter the following cheat into the command console to instantly turn the active Sim into a spellcaster:
traits.equip_trait trait_Occult_WitchOccult
Or, if you’re tired of slinging spells and want to go back to life as a regular human Sim, you can use traits.remove_trait trait_Occult_WitchOccult instead.
The Sims 4 Realm of Magic rank cheats
A Spellcaster Sim’s rank determines which level of perks they can access, which in turn reflects how much control they have over their magic. In order to improve their rank, Spellcasters must gain enough XP to achieve the next level through performing a variety of magical interactions… or you could just use the following cheat:
stats.set_stat rankedStatistic_WitchOccult_WitchXP [X]
Replace [X] with the amount of Spellcaster XP you want to set your Sim to. For reference, new ranks are attained at the following points:
- Apprentice: 0XP (default starting rank)
- Neophyte: 50XP
- Acolyte: 350XP
- Adept: 850XP
- Master: 1550XP
- Virtuoso: 2350XP
- Maximum XP: 2850XP
Having attained the highest level of Virtuoso, Spellcasters can continue to earn XP up to the cap in order to unlock the full perk tree.
The Sims 4 Realm of Magic perk cheats
Throughout their process of learning to master their magic, Spellcaster Sims will regularly be rewarded with perk points. These can be distributed across the Spellcaster’s unique perk tree to unlock various helpful powers. These perks don’t need to be obtained in any particular order, but do require a Spellcaster to have reached a certain rank in order to unlock them… the legitimate way, at least.
As an alternative to the above rank cheats, you can unlock specific Spellcaster Perks individually using the following cheats. This is useful, for example, if you don’t want to cheat your Sim up to Adept rank right away, but would just like access to one of the Level 4 perks before your Sim has earned that unlock.
Note that, for unknown reasons, you’ll need a Sim’s unique ID number in order to work with this particular set of cheats. This number can be obtained by entering sims.get_sim_id_by_name [First Name] [Last Name] into the cheat console.

The Sims 4 Realm of Magic spell cheats
Not to be confused with perks – which are more general bonus attributes, albeit with a magical theme – spells are the actual magical acts that Spellcaster Sims get to use to make their lives easier, or make the lives of others harder.
Unlocking spells through gameplay is somewhat random, but if you want to use a particular one straight away, you can uncover them in your active Sim’s spellbook instantly using the following cheats:

The Sims 4 Realm of Magic curse cheats
In The Sims 4, Spellcasters whose attempts at magical pursuits fail or backfire too often are prone to developing curses. These negative effects can be cured via gameplay, but honestly that can be pretty annoying. Luckily, you can just cheat to remove a curse if you prefer – or add one if you want to embrace the chaos, I’m not judging:
| Curse | Description / Notes | Apply with… | Remove with… |
|---|---|---|---|
| Awkward Embraces | Sim is compelled to hug other Sims regardless of relationship level | traits.equip_trait trait_Curses_TouchyFeely | traits.remove_trait trait_Curses_TouchyFeely |

The Sims 4 Realm of Magic trait cheats
Finally, we come to what can only be described as the regular trait cheats included in The Sims 4 Realm of Magic. In addition to all of the above, RoM does introduce a more regular series of new traits: two new aspiration rewards, four new gameplay feat rewards, and even a new death type:
| Trait | Description / Notes | Type | Apply with… | Remove with… |

There are also six hidden traits that don’t show up in the Simology panel and thus don’t have proper names, but which convey certain special statuses (most associated with NPCs, with just one exception) to your Sim:
| Effect | Apply with… | Remove with… |
|---|---|---|
| Sim gains the Sage of Mischief Magic special NPC status | traits.equip_trait trait_MagicSage_Mischief | traits.remove_trait trait_MagicSage_Mischief |
