Editing Existing Sims in Sims 4
There is no conventional method of editing a pre-existing sim in the Sims 4. It only provides players the opportunity to modify the Sims body while creating a sim. However, players can use cheats for customizing pre-existing Sims in the household.
Enabling cheats within the game is imperative before using any cheat in Sims 4. However, enabling them on different devices follows a different approach. Here is how to activate cheats within the game depending upon the platform.
- PC: CTRL + SHIFT + C
- MAC: Command + SHIFT + C
- PS4: Press L1, L2, R1, and R2 buttons.
- Xbox One: Press LB, LT, RB, and RT buttons.
Once cheats are activated, follow these steps.
- Type "testingcheats true" in the windows and hit enter.
- Wait for the message "Cheats are Enabled" to pop up.
- Type the cheat "cas.fulleditmode" and press enter.
- Now, players will be able to edit any sim by left-clicking on any Sim while holding the Shift key and choosing the interaction "Edit in CAS."
Modifying Hairstyle, Outfits, and Accessories of Sims
Fortunately, Sims 4 provides a straightforward method to change the accessories and outfits of Sims. Here is a guide on how to do it.
- Left-click on any sim while pressing the Shift key.
- Choose "Modify in CAS" from the menu.
- Make necessary changes and exit CAS mode.
This method will only work if the Sim is in the household with its family.
Changing Traits in Sims 4
While creating a Sim, players are given the option to choose preferred traits for their Sims. These traits determine the behavior and interest of Sims within the gameplay. However, if, at some point, players feel that the traits don't align with their interests anymore, there is no option to edit or alter those traits.
In this case, cheats come to the rescue. Players can use the cas.fulleditmode cheat to alter traits by following the steps mentioned above. Alternatively, players can head to rewards store and buy Re-Traiting Potion for 5000 satisfaction points. Once purchased, Sims can consume this potion to change their traits.
The Sims 4 is available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
