The Sims 4 Satisfaction Point cheats are used to artificially boost your Sim's Satisfaction Points. Satisfaction Points refer to a clever little system that rewards players for engaging in activities that stimulate the Sim in question. In a normal, unmodified game, these Points are racked up fulfilling your Sim's "Aspirations", denoted by a series of four tiers.
Completing these tiers will generate Satisfaction Points which accumulate over time - albeit at quite a slow pace. Using the Sims 4 Satisfaction Point cheats instead is a great way to bypass this limitation and hasten the process.

What can you do with Satisfaction Point cheats in The Sims 4?
Satisfaction Points are mostly used to redeem a set of in-game items in The Sims 4. These can be accessed via the "Reward Store", and include both Potions and Traits that cost Points to purchase. Potions can be used instantly, while Traits confer certain characteristics that enhance and/or add unique mannerisms to a Sim.
For example, the Frugal and Observant Traits enable your Sim to reduce bills by 25% and learn Traits from other Sims respectively, and are quite useful to have during the late game.
This naturally extends into Expansion Packs, which also add a set of Potions and Traits of their own. However, these are otherwise inaccessible - unless you purchase the said DLC pack first.
