What does the cas.fulleditmode cheat do in The Sims 4?
cas.fulleditmode cheat
Unlocks everything in Create a Sim for a Sim you already have: name, age, traits and aspiration. Type it before you open Create a Sim. Type cas.fulleditmode in the cheat console. It runs in the game engine, and the game's scripts don't mark it as needing testingcheats.
The cas.fulleditmode cheat in The Sims 4 opens full editing inside Create a Sim for an existing Sim. Normally, the game locks core details once you start playing with a household. This command removes those limits so you can change traits, aspirations, ages, and names.
You only need the Base game to use this cheat. You must enter the command in Live mode before you open the Create a Sim screen. Once active, it lets you remake your Sim from the ground up.

This cheat runs in the game engine, not in the game's scripts. The game ships this help text for it: "CasIsFullEditingEnabled" The game files keep only a hash of the typed name, so the name itself is the one players have long used, not one read from the files.

How to enter cas.fulleditmode and what it changes
First, load your household in Live mode and open the cheat console. Press Ctrl + Shift + C on PC, or press Cmd + Shift + C on Mac. If you play on PlayStation or Xbox, hold down all four shoulder buttons at the same time.
Type testingcheats true into the text box and press Enter, as the game files do not specify if this engine cheat works without it. Next, type cas.fulleditmode into the box and press Enter. The command takes no extra words or parameters.
Now, take your Sim into Create a Sim. You will see that the locked menus are open again. You can pick a new age stage, choose different personality traits, type a new name, or select a fresh aspiration for your Sim.
Why cas.fulleditmode fails and how to fix it
The most common mistake is typing the cheat while you are already inside the Create a Sim menu. The command does not unlock the interface if you already have the editor open on your screen. Exit back to Live mode, enter cas.fulleditmode, and then open Create a Sim again.
Also check your spelling in the cheat box. Make sure you include the period between cas and fulleditmode, and leave no spaces anywhere in the text. The game has no alternate aliases for this command, so you must type cas.fulleditmode exactly as shown.
Finally, make sure you turned on testing cheats first. Because this is an engine cheat, the game scripts do not mark its exact requirements. Typing testingcheats true in Live mode before you enter cas.fulleditmode solves most problems.
