Fireworks are a fun way to celebrate in The Sims 4, especially if your Sims are throwing a party, celebrating a holiday, or simply want to light up the night sky.
The fireworks featured in this guide are part of The Sims 4 City Living.
If you own City Living, you can buy fireworks from the merchandise stalls during festivals in San Myshuno. Different festivals have their own fireworks, including festival-themed variations.
Your Sim can purchase the fireworks and then find them in their inventory, ready to use.
You don’t have to wait for a festival to visit San Myshuno. You can also order fireworks from a computer.
Select a computer and choose Order > Buy Fireworks. You’ll then be able to choose from the available fireworks and have them delivered to your Sim’s inventory.
This is usually the easiest way to get fireworks because you don’t need to wait for a festival to start.
You can also use the hidden-object cheat to find fireworks directly in Build/Buy mode.
Press Ctrl + Shift + C to open the cheat console on PC.
Enter testingcheats true and press Enter.
Enter bb.showhiddenobjects and press Enter.
Open Build/Buy mode.
Search for Debug or use the hidden-object results to find the fireworks.
Place the fireworks on your lot.
Some fireworks that aren’t normally available through the regular Build/Buy catalog can be found this way, including larger fireworks used for festival displays.
The game has several fireworks and variations rather than just three types.
Some of the main fireworks include:
Roman Candle: A small firework that launches a series of colorful shots into the sky.
Mortar: Fires a single larger shot into the air.
Spark Fountain: Creates a fountain of sparks on the ground.
Sparkler: A handheld firework that Sims can play with.
Spinner: A firework that spins as it produces sparks.
Wedding fireworks: Special variations designed for wedding celebrations.
Prices vary depending on the type of firework.
For example, standard computer-purchased fireworks include options ranging from inexpensive sparklers to more expensive Spark Fountains.
Once you’ve placed a firework or have one in your Sim’s inventory, select it and choose the available interaction to set it off.
You can also place multiple fireworks around a lot and create your own fireworks display. Festival-style fireworks can be particularly useful if you’re decorating a lot for a large celebration.
Be careful when using fireworks indoors.
Fireworks can start fires, so don’t set them off inside your house unless you’re deliberately trying to create some chaos.
If a fire starts, nearby Sims may attempt to extinguish it. Keep a fire alarm and a way to put out fires nearby if you’re planning a large fireworks display.
Fireworks can also cause fires when used outdoors if they’re placed too close to flammable objects, so give your Sims plenty of open space.
Fireworks work especially well for weddings, birthdays, holidays, parties, and other major events.
