## How to max Acting step by step

- Load your save, go to Live mode and click the Sim you want to change.
- Open the console: `Ctrl`+`Shift`+`C` on PC and Mac, `L1`+`L2`+`R1`+`R2` on PlayStation, `LB`+`LT`+`RB`+`RT` on Xbox.
- Type `testingcheats true` and press Enter.
- Type `stats.set_skill_level major_acting 10` and press Enter.
- The Acting bar jumps to level 10. Close the console with `Esc`.

It needs **Get Famous** installed. Without the pack the cheat does nothing.

## Acting cheat not working?

- **Nothing happens:** type `testingcheats true` first. Type it again if you loaded a save or traveled.
- **Wrong Sim leveled up:** the cheat changes the selected Sim. Click the right portrait and repeat.
- **Spelling:** the skill code is `major_acting`, with no spaces. Codes are not case sensitive.
- **Pack missing:** Get Famous must be installed and enabled.
- **Console won't open:** another app may be using the shortcut. See the fixes on the [main skill cheats page](/).
