If you use the Free Love NAP you can do this, but be careful if they travel to areas not covered by the NAP (like, don't take both sweeties on a date to Sulani if Sulani doesn't have Free Love, for example). (Requires Eco Lifestyle.)

I had an accidental poly household. I had 6 single sims and they NEVER got upset when the others flirted with who they were kinda paired up with. The eco life NAP free love was on and I didn't know (it ruined the plot challenge for me but may work for you as an option as mine weren't meant to be poly)

Player is obtained upon reaching Level 4 of the Serial Romantic aspiration. Sims with this trait will never cause another Sim to get jealous of their actions, such as using a Romantic-type interaction on a different Sim in front of their spouse. Note that Sims with the Player trait can themselves still feel jealousy (unless the Sim who would make them jealous also has the Player trait).

I accidentally created a situation where a couple I'd created broke up because they had different life aspirations and the woman found a new man who she married and had kids with but since I had free will all the way up she kept going back to her ex because they were still technically soulmates? Anyway, I decided I wanted to keep the three of them together so I cheated to give both parts of the married couple the Player trait so that nobody would get jealous (traits.equip_trait trait_Player). It worked and now all three of them are able to do all the romantic interactions to the point that now the married couple are also both dating the third part of their poly couple. For good measure since I had the Get Together expansion I also added them all to a closed club that had them all have romantic interactions with each other but even before that nobody was jealous and they were all in relationships so all well that ends well.

I've found that the best way to make poly sims is to use the player trait but also, in the case of marriage with poly sims, you can use the cheat relationship.add_bit family_husband_wife on all of the people within the relationship so it registers them as married

Base game: Control-shift-c to open the console, testing cheats on , and then Traits.equip_trait Player. If you want extra satisfaction points as well, instead turn on testing cheats and then set their aspiration to Serial Romantic and type Aspirations.Complete_Current_Milestone until the aspiration is achieved and the game gives you the Player reward trait. Do this for all the Sims you want to be in the relationship.

Get Together: Press the U key to open the club interface (if you have Discover University it might show you university organizations instead, but there's a tab to show you clubs). Create a new club ("Polyamory club"?) and add the Sims you want to be involved. Add the club activity "Be romantic with" and choose for the target of that activty your club ("Polyamory club"?). I like to add banned action, "be mean" as well because that's the way I roll.

Eco Lifestyle: Shift-click the mailbox and choose Instant Add NAP (cheat) and choose the Free Love NAP. Just be careful, if this is the only one you're using, to only be romantic at home because the no jealousy part only works in the neighborhood.

I've had a number of sims I've worked through the Serial Romantic aspiration with, and even once they have the Player trait their other boyfriends or girlfriends still get upset when they see the Player sim being romantic with someone else - it's a hit to their romantic and friendly relationship bars and also to their reputation! Personally I don't believe a married sim has any right to get upset about their boyfriend or girlfriend having other lovers in the first place, but the Player trait being broken is really annoying.

Using Clubs and making "be romantic with" a club activity would only work while they're officially in a club meeting. Which wouldn't be a problem if you just stay home, but if you go out for the day you'd have to remember to announce a club meeting everywhere you went - I can see that getting very tedious.

One of the new base game features in The Sims 4 called Romantic Boundaries is attempting to mimic real relationships that are "nuanced and complex" by letting players tweak their Sims' preferences around exclusivity and jealousy.

Arriving in the upcoming Lovestruck expansion. "[You can] define the conditions under which your Sims become jealous," according to the patch notes. "These live in Create-A-Sim alongside the Gender and Sexual Orientation options in the Identity Panel, and you can change them at any point in time."

There are different levels of jealousy that you can assign to Sims now: getting jealous at non-physical romance, physical romance, "WooHoo", or if you don't want to have to deal with all that emotional mess, you can change it so that they won't get jealous at all. Although this isn't default, so you'll have to change it for everyone you want to be involved with, otherwise, you'll likely jump headfirst into some serious relationship drama. If you want to go about things through gameplay, the new update also allows Sims to change their opinions about their romantic boundaries through conversations with other Sims.

"FINALLY! I am tired of giving all my poly sims the player trait as a workaround!" one player says in a Reddit thread. Before this recent patch, you couldn't officially create polyamorous couples in The Sims 4; the only way players could get around it would be to complete the serial romantic aspiration to get a trait that prevents it. Or you could copy paste a cheat that would automatically give them said trait without having to do any of the work.

But if the polyamory works out too well then there's also an option to hide relationships in the Relationship Panel. "You can remove those Sims (who are not members of your household)," the patch notes say, in case your Sim's got way too many lovers and crushes to scroll through.

This new base game feature will also help fix a couple of frustrating bugs that were making Sims jealous for absolutely no reason at all. "Some of my other sims constantly lose relationships because they think it's cheating if their partners are out in public," another player says. "I think strong reactions with smarter AI would be good though."

The new update will also add a quicker and easier way to select outfits by simply adding an "apply all" button for your Sim's accessories, hairstyles and makeup. You can see how it'll work in the recent developer livestream.

Improving Sims 4: The past month, I've spent every day tinkering The Sims 4, making quality of life improvements, gameplay changes, and new difficulty settings for the game. If you'd like to learn more about my project, visit the post on Patreon where you can download it now.

This is a huge, curated list of cheats in The Sims 4 that allow you to get money, prevent death, and adjust your Skill and Career levels. We've also listed cheats for Get to Work and other Expansion Packs. Look to the bottom of the list for expansion-specific information. We're also updated with more official cheats from EA, including ignore career unlocks and MoveObjects!

To use cheats, press Control + Shift + C to toggle the console on and off. You do this on Xbox or Playstation by pressing all four shoulder buttons simultaneously. Press enter after typing the cheat. For many cheats, you must also use testingcheats on or they will not work. Most cheats are used in live mode (F2).

Pregnancy and Multiple Birth Cheats
You can use relationship cheats to Try for Baby quickly, and follow up with a cheat once the Sim is pregnant in order to force the Sim into labor. You can also cheat to get twins, triplets, quadruplets, or more! Find this near the end of the Pregnancy Guide or to get pregnancy cheats specifically, I've made a page about how to use Pregnancy Cheats which includes a video example.

Cheats to Make a Sim a Ghost
Head to the Ghosts guide for Cheats to turn a Sim into a ghost of any kind, based on the death type. You can also skip Ambrosia or the Book of Life and make a Sim who's died back into a normal Sim by removing this ghost trait once they've been added back to your family.

To enable TestingCheats, open the console with Left CTRL+Shift+C (press/hold with one fluid motion in that order) or by pressing all four shoulder buttons on console. Once the white box appears, type testingcheats on. To disable testing cheat, type testingcheats off. The cheat console will say, "Cheats Enabled" or "Disabled". If it does not, you can try other options: testingcheats 1, testingcheats true, and testingcheats yes all work to enable the Sims 4's testingcheats. Once enabled, they should stay on for your save. Here are the things you can do with testingcheats - note that this command is also necessary for the extra cheats further down.

Shift-Click the Mailbox to access the cheat to stop a Sim's need decay for your current household or the entire neighborhood (effectively make everyone happy). Disable Need Decay will make needs stop falling and re-enabling them is as simple as selecting "Enable Need Decay". Make Happy will then fill needs to the maximum. You can do this on an individual Sim level by Shift-Clicking Your Sims. This will let you select to make only that Sim's needs static or make them happy by filling all needs. You are also able to completely redesign a Sim by shift-clicking them and selecting Modify in CAS. This takes you to Create-A-Sim where you can make the Sim look however you want, but not change their gender or traits.
