Just a quick reminder, The Sims 4: Eco Lifestyle needs to be installed for this to work.
1. Apply Every Cheat From TWISTEDMEXI
Before proceeding, it’s important to verify that the cheats mentioned below are compatible with your game.
Thanks to the latest updates for the Sims 4, several cheats have become ineffective.

It’s compatible with version 1.100.147.1030 of the game. Rest assured, everything will work seamlessly.
2. Have An Eco-Friendly Neighbourhood
For your Sim to catch a glimpse of the breathtaking northern lights and sun rays, they’ll need to be in an area free from pollution.
In order for these lights to work properly, your Sims will need to have a green eco-footprint in their current neighborhood.
