Sims 4 Vampire Cheats: Commands for Rank, Powers and Traits

Sims 4 vampire cheats can turn a selected Sim into a vampire, remove the vampire trait, set Vampire Lore, or change the vampire XP statistic. The fastest starting point is to load a household, open the cheat console, enter testingcheats true, and run one command from the table below. These commands are separate: changing a trait is not the same as resetting power choices.

This guide keeps the pack-specific commands together and explains where the command stops. The Vampires Game Pack adds the occult trait, rank progression, powers and weaknesses. If you only need the console shortcut, use our existing guide to enabling Sims 4 cheats; if you need another command family, open the general cheats index instead.

Quick answer

For the common tasks, use traits.equip_trait trait_OccultVampire to turn the selected Sim, traits.remove_trait trait_OccultVampire to remove vampirism, stats.set_skill_level VampireLore 15 to set Vampire Lore, or the community-reported stats.set_stat rankedStatistic_Occult_VampireXP 1593 line for vampire XP. The XP line is not an EA-published command reference; test it in a copied save.

Sims 4 vampire cheats: command table

Use the rows as separate commands, not as a script to paste all at once. The trait and skill lines have established syntax in the cited community guide. The rank XP example is widely reported by players, but EA does not publish a complete cheat-command manual, so treat the number as a test value rather than an official rank threshold.

Before you enter a vampire cheat

The command console only accepts text after the current household is loaded. On PC and Mac, press Ctrl + Shift + C. On PlayStation, press L1 + L2 + R1 + R2 together; on Xbox, press LB + LT + RB + RT. If the bar does not appear, click the game window first so it has keyboard focus.

Select the Sim you intend to change before entering a trait, skill or XP command. That keeps the target clear and makes it easier to tell whether the command worked. A vampire-specific command also depends on the Vampires Game Pack content being installed and available. A community help thread on the transformation guide reports that the occult trait is unavailable without that pack; this is not a substitute for checking your own game and installed content.

For a cautious first run, save a copy of the household, enter testingcheats true on its own line, and then submit one vampire command. Do not paste several stat changes together: if the outcome is unexpected, a single-command test tells you which line caused it. Console use on PlayStation or Xbox can affect trophies or achievements for the current save, so use a spare save when those matter.

  1. 01

    Load the household

    Enter Live Mode and select the Sim or household you plan to edit. Avoid testing a Sim-specific command from a menu where no Sim is active.

  2. 02

    Open the console and enable testing cheats

    Use the shortcut for your platform, type testingcheats true, and press Enter. If you need platform-specific help, follow the existing cheat-enabling guide.

  3. 03

    Run one line and verify

    Copy one command exactly, including dots, underscores and spaces. Close the console and check the selected Sim before moving to a second change.

Become a vampire or remove the vampire trait

To skip the in-game conversion route, select the Sim and enter traits.equip_trait trait_OccultVampire. This is a direct trait command, not a command that teaches the vampire system or chooses powers for you. A saved Sims Community walkthrough documents this line and notes that the pack must be available. It is community evidence, not an EA help article.

To reverse the occult trait, use traits.remove_trait trait_OccultVampire on the same selected Sim. Check the Sim after submitting it. The command is useful when the goal is to stop being a vampire; it should not be presented as a universal reset for Vampire Lore, rank history, powers or weaknesses. If you want to change ability choices while keeping a vampire Sim, use the separate respec route described below.

Example: transform one Sim

Sims 4 vampire rank cheat and XP

Vampire rank is linked to vampire XP. In normal play, Sims Community’s XP guide describes earning experience through vampire actions such as feeding, Dark Meditation and researching Vampire Lore; rank increases then award power points used in the ability panel. That distinction matters: XP progression gives access to points, while the player still chooses which powers and weaknesses to take.

The commonly reported rank-stat line is stats.set_stat rankedStatistic_Occult_VampireXP 1593. The internal statistic name is case-sensitive only in appearance in most references, but preserve its spelling, underscores and spaces. The value 1593 is a community-used example, not an EA-published rank threshold. I could not independently verify the current command against an official EA cheat manual during this review, so keep a copied save and check the result in your game version.

Do not promise that entering a rank value will automatically unlock every power, clear weaknesses, or refund points. Watch the Sim’s rank/XP display after one test. If the rank changes but a power is still unavailable, open the ability panel and check its rank requirement and available points rather than repeating the stat command. Exact rank thresholds and progression details may change or behave differently across game updates and save states.

Vampire Lore skill cheat

Use stats.set_skill_level VampireLore 15 to set the selected Sim’s Vampire Lore skill to level 15. Keep this separate from vampire rank: the lore skill and occult XP are different progression tracks. Raising lore does not by itself turn a Sim into a vampire, assign a rank, or purchase a power.

If the command appears to do nothing, confirm that the correct Sim is selected, the Vampires pack content is installed, and the console accepted the line. A skill command changes the active Sim’s skill state; it is not a household-wide setting. If your goal is to learn the skill through ordinary play, researching Vampire Secrets on a computer is a gameplay route rather than a cheat.

Power points, powers and weaknesses: what resets?

There is no single verified console command in this guide that safely means “unlock every vampire power and remove every weakness.” The XP line changes progression; the trait-removal line cures vampirism. They are different operations. Vampire powers are chosen in the ability panel, and rank requirements or weaknesses can still apply after XP changes.

For changing selected abilities or weaknesses while keeping the Sim a vampire, players use the in-game Draught of Reconfiguration rather than treating it as a cheat code. Check its unlock and crafting details in the current game before relying on a recipe, because the interface and requirements are more dependable than copying an undocumented command. If you only want to cure the Sim, remove the vampire trait instead; that is not the same as refunding power points.

The safest sequence is to decide which state you want first: cure the Sim, progress rank, or reselect abilities. Back up the save, make one change, then reopen the ability panel. This prevents a trait change from being mistaken for a rank reset and avoids stacking several community-reported stat commands when the game’s current behavior is uncertain.

When a Sims 4 vampire cheat does not work

Check one cause at a time. Most failed commands come from an unavailable pack, the wrong selected Sim, a typo, or expecting one progression command to perform a different task.

The vampire trait command is rejected

Confirm that the Vampires Game Pack is installed and available, then load a household and select the target Sim. Try the exact trait name again; do not replace the internal code with the displayed trait label.

Nothing changes after pressing Enter

Make sure the console is open, testingcheats true was submitted separately, and the game is in a household. Recheck periods, spaces, underscores and the final number before changing anything else.

The Sim changes but rank or powers do not

The transform/cure commands change the occult trait. The XP command changes progression; powers are still selected in the ability panel and may have rank requirements. These outcomes are not interchangeable.

Weaknesses remain after a command

Removing the vampire trait is not a guaranteed weakness respec. If the Sim should remain a vampire, use the in-game reconfiguration route and check its current unlock requirements instead of adding an undocumented perk command.

The command worked before an update

Check current EA Sims 4 news and test the command in a copy of the save. The transformation/cure syntax comes from older community references, and the rank-stat example is not an official EA-maintained command list.

Sims 4 vampire cheats FAQ

How do you become a vampire in Sims 4 with a cheat?

Load a household, select the Sim, open the console, enter testingcheats true, then use traits.equip_trait trait_OccultVampire. The Vampires Game Pack content must be available in the save.

What is the Sims 4 vampire rank cheat?

The commonly reported XP-stat example is stats.set_stat rankedStatistic_Occult_VampireXP 1593. It is community-reported rather than an EA-published command, so try it in a copied save and verify the current XP display.

How do I remove a vampire trait in Sims 4?

Select the vampire Sim and enter traits.remove_trait trait_OccultVampire. This removes vampirism; it is not a guaranteed refund of vampire ability points or a weakness reset.

Is there a Sims 4 vampire powers cheat that unlocks everything?

Do not assume the rank XP command unlocks every power. XP and rank progression can award points, but powers are chosen in the ability panel and can have rank requirements and linked weaknesses.

How do I reset vampire points or clear weaknesses?

The guide does not verify a universal reset command. The in-game Draught of Reconfiguration is the respec route players use for ability/weakness choices; check its current unlock and crafting details. Removing the vampire trait is a different action.

Can I use vampire cheats without the Vampires Game Pack?

The vampire occult trait and its progression belong to the Vampires Game Pack. The community transformation guide reports that the trait command requires the pack; verify that the content is installed for the active save.

Does the Vampire Lore cheat also raise vampire rank?

No. stats.set_skill_level VampireLore 15 changes the Vampire Lore skill. Vampire XP and rank use a separate progression statistic.

Do Sims 4 vampire cheats work on PC and console?

The command text is entered through the platform cheat console. PC and Mac use Ctrl + Shift + C; PlayStation and Xbox use their four shoulder buttons. Console cheat use can affect trophies or achievements for the current save, so use a spare save if that matters.

Use the command that matches the goal

Use the trait command to become a vampire or cure one, the Vampire Lore skill line for lore, and the community-reported XP statistic only when you want to test progression. Power selection and weakness respec are separate in-game actions; do not treat every vampire cheat as a universal unlock.

The command notes were reviewed on September 23, 2026. The EA news page is the place to check current game updates. Commands and save behavior can differ by game version, installed pack and platform; make a backup before using a stat or trait change.

Sources and scope

This is an independent guide, not an EA or Maxis publication. The transformation article documents the trait command; the XP article explains how vampire XP, ranks and points relate in gameplay, but it is not an official command manual. The XP-stat syntax and numeric example are therefore labeled community-reported and should be tested in a copy of the save.
