Prestige systems v The Sims 4: Royal & Legacy add long-term progress to your life simulation and reward households that build influence across generations. In the original royalty style game, Prestige reflects how powerful and established a dynasty it has become. As it levels up, players earn Perk Dynasty Points that unlock powerful bonuses across the social, mental, physical and creative paths of play.

For The Sims 4 for players who want to skip the grind or quickly set up a narrative scenario, the Prestige Perk cheats allow full control over dynasty progression. Instead of slowly gaining influence through events and milestones, these commands allow you to directly increase Prestige and apply benefits immediately.
The cheat console must be enabled before entering any of these cheats. On PC, press Ctrl + Shift + C. On Mac, press Command + Shift + C. On PlayStation or Xbox, press all four shoulder buttons at once. In the console, type:
Press Enter to activate advanced cheats. Without this step, the perk commands would not work properly.
How to set up Dynasty Prestige
Prestige determines how influential your household is in the dynasty system. Increasing it unlocks additional Perk points that can normally only be obtained through extended play.
To set Prestige manually, enter:
-
Stats.set_stat rankedstatistic_Dynasty_Prestige X
Replace the “X” with any number you choose. Higher values represent a more established and influential dynasty. Once used, the game will immediately recognize the new Prestige level and update the available perk points.
This command is especially useful for players who want to start a save file with a powerful royal bloodline or simulate a long history without playing multiple generations.
How to add dynasty perks
Perks are normally purchased with Dynasty Perk Points, but can also be added directly using trait cheats. Each category has three levels, with higher levels providing stronger bonuses.
To add a perk, use:
-
properties.equip_property [TraitName]

traits.remove_trait [TraitName]
Simply replace the “[TraitName]” with the exact name of the cheat used to equip it, making it easy to balance the game or adjust the direction of the narrative mid-save.
When to use Prestige Cheats
Prestige cheats are perfect for players who set up a narrative save. A newly crowned monarch may start with maximum Prestige to reflect inherited power. Alternatively, the Prestige reduction can simulate a fallen dynasty trying to regain influence. They're also useful for testing mechanics or exploring late-game perk bonuses without spending dozens of hours in-game.
However, keep in mind that Prestige systems are designed with long-term development in mind. Unlocking everything immediately removes the sense of gradual growth that older gameplay is built on. For some players, this progression is just the thing. Still, The Sims 4 is ultimately about customization and player freedom. Whether you're building a generational empire or experimenting with dynasty mechanics, Prestige Perk cheats offer full control over how powerful your household becomes.
