Reddit user TwistedMexi found hidden skill cheats for The Sims 4 shortly after launch. SimGoodie preserved the command format and the original skill identifier list.
Turn on testing cheats first:
TestingCheats true
Then use the skill-level command:
stats.set_skill_level <skilltype> <level>
Use a level from 1 to 10. The source note says the Major_ prefix is actually AdultMajor_, but the shorter identifiers below were the working format listed by the original page. Do not shorten them further.
