The CAS cheat in The Sims 4: full edit mode, and every cas command the game registers

Getting into full edit mode

Two commands, in this order, then a shift-click. The first one is the cheat flag that everything else depends on.

Close the console, hold shift, click the Sim you want to change and pick Modify in CAS. The panels open without the restrictions the shift-click route normally applies.

Nothing here is saved to the household until you accept the changes in Create a Sim, and the cheat has no effect at all while cheats are off.

Opening the console on each platform

The command text is identical everywhere. The shift-click that follows it is a keyboard and mouse action, and this page does not invent a controller equivalent for it.

What the installed files contain

Every command this site stamps with a build number traces to the module and line in the game's own shipped Python that registers it. The scan looks in the Python archives and in the executable's command help tables.

The literal string cas.fulleditmode turned up in neither, and nowhere else in the installed files that were searched.

That does not mean the cheat is fake. Players report it working, which is why it is at the top of this page. It means the usual proof is missing, so the page says so rather than copying a build number off another site and presenting it as verification.

Why the string is absent is not something this page will guess at. If it is found in a later scan, the stamp goes on and this section comes off.

Every cas command in the shipped Python

The game's Python registers seven commands under the cas namespace, and all seven are below. Each row cites the module and the line number that registers it.

The file records an argument signature, a type and sometimes a pack code for each, but no description, so there is no effect column here. A dash in Pack means the file records no pack code against that command.

The pack column prints the code the file carries, such as EP01 or GP09, rather than a store name, because the code is what the file contains. Four of the seven are gated to a pack and will not resolve on an install without it: business uniforms to EP01, the club mannequin to EP02, small business uniforms to EP18 and the Batuu outfit planner to GP09.

Why the registered commands are not the cheat you wanted

Every one of the seven ends with an _interaction_id argument. That is the shape of a callback: the game raises an interaction, the interface hands the id back, and the command runs against it.

In practice they expect ids that the running game generates, not values a player can read off a screen. They are documented here because the game registers them, not as a stand-in for full edit mode.

Full edit mode takes no arguments and no ids, and the scan finds no registration for it anywhere. That gap is why this page carries a provenance line instead of a build stamp.

What full edit mode changes, and what it does not

The cheat changes the Create a Sim session you open from a shift-click. It does not change anything about how the game behaves once you leave that session.

It also adds no content. Hair, clothing and features that belong to a pack you do not own stay unavailable, because unlocking the editor is not the same as unlocking a catalogue. Anyone promising otherwise is describing a mod, not this command.

Changes take effect when you accept them in Create a Sim, not while you are clicking around inside it. Backing out discards the session, which makes the cheat safe to experiment with on a household you care about.

Existing Sims, townies and Sims in other households are all reachable the same way, since the shift-click menu does not care whose household a Sim belongs to. What varies is whether the Sim is loaded on the current lot for you to click.

When the CAS cheat does nothing

• Cheats were never enabled this session, or the save has been reloaded since. Nothing works before that flag.
• The shift-click menu does not appear at all, which is the same problem one step earlier.
• You clicked the ground or an object rather than the Sim.
• A script mod is failing to load and taking command registration down with it. Move the Mods folder aside and retest before blaming a patch.
• You are on a controller, where the shift-click step has no verified equivalent.

Editing values the interface will not let you click is a different job from editing a Sim's appearance, and it is handled by a mod rather than the console; that is covered in the ui cheats sims 4. Relationship values between Sims sit in relationship sims 4 cheat, and object placement in move objects sims 4 cheat.
