Satisfaction Points are one of the most useful resources in The Sims 4. You can spend them on reward traits and potions that make your Sim’s life much easier.
The fastest way to earn more Satisfaction Points is by completing aspiration milestones and fulfilling whims. The more goals your Sim completes, the more Satisfaction Points they’ll receive.
Once you’ve earned enough points, head to the Rewards Store to unlock reward traits or buy potions that refill your Sim’s needs or grant temporary buffs.
Choose Traits and Skills That Match Your Aspiration
One of the easiest ways to earn Satisfaction Points faster is to build your Sim around their chosen aspiration.
For example, if your Sim is working toward the Friend of the World aspiration, giving them the Cheerful and Outgoing traits will make it easier to complete social goals. Improving the Charisma skill also helps them make friends more quickly.
Choosing traits and skills that complement your Sim’s aspiration will make many milestones easier to complete.
Use Cheats to Get More Satisfaction Points
If you’d rather skip the grind, you can use cheats to add Satisfaction Points instantly.
- Press Ctrl + Shift + C to open the Cheat Console.
- Type testingcheats true and press Enter.
- Enter sims.give_satisfaction_points followed by the number of points you want.
For example, if you want 1,000 Satisfaction Points, enter:
sims.give_satisfaction_points 1000
Then press Enter, and the points will be added immediately.
How Do You Spend Satisfaction Points?
Satisfaction Points can be spent in the Rewards Store.
You can use them to purchase reward traits that permanently improve your Sim or buy potions that instantly refill needs and provide temporary buffs.
Choosing rewards that complement your Sim’s aspirations can make it easier to complete future milestones and earn even more Satisfaction Points.
Is There a Limit to Satisfaction Points?
There isn’t a fixed limit on the number of Satisfaction Points your Sim can earn.
The total depends on how many aspirations and whims they complete. Each aspiration typically rewards between 3,000 and 5,000 Satisfaction Points.
If aging is disabled, your Sim can continue completing aspirations and whims indefinitely, allowing them to earn as many Satisfaction Points as they need.
How to Get Unlimited Satisfaction Points
There are two ways to get effectively unlimited Satisfaction Points in The Sims 4.
The first is to disable aging and keep your Sim alive for as long as possible. This gives them unlimited time to complete aspirations and fulfill whims.
The second is to use the sims.give_satisfaction_points cheat whenever you need more points.
Conclusion
The best way to earn Satisfaction Points is by completing aspiration milestones and fulfilling whims. Building your Sim around their chosen aspiration can help them earn points more quickly.
If you don’t want to spend time completing aspirations, you can always use cheats to add Satisfaction Points instantly and spend them on reward traits and potions.
