Steps

1
Enter the household you want to freeze the motives of.

3
Enable testingcheats. Type testingcheatsenabled true and hit Enter.
4
Hold down ⇧ Shift and click on the mailbox in front of your house.
5
Select Make All Happy. This will fill all your Sims' needs bars. It only affects the Sims you control, not any NPCs or visitors in your household.
- You can also click and drag the needs bars up and down with your mouse. This will stop working after you make needs static.
6
Select Make Needs Static. Shift-click the mailbox a second time and select Make Needs Static. Your Sims' needs will not change as long as this is enabled.
- To make Sims' needs behave normally again, shift-click the mailbox and press Make Needs Dynamic.

How can I make my Sims needs not go down in Sims 4?

Community Answer

Press Ctrl-Shift-C and type in "Testingcheats on" (without the "s) and then you can shift click on a Sim or mailbox and stop the needs from going down.
Question

I shift-clicked on my mailbox and it said there were no interactions available, but my testing cheats were enabled. What should I do?

Try it again, making sure that it's written as "testingCheatsenabled true." Capital letters are important!
