Re: Issue Turning Off cas.fulleditmode Cheat

Hi @simerika16 🙌 Yes I do have the Eco Lifestyle EP and yes I am also seeing some of those same things in my game. I'm fairly certain that what you are seeing is not due to using cheats. I like to use the cas.fulleditmode cheat pretty much every time I play because I love editing Sims. I have never noticed any side-effects where using this cheat has caused problems in other parts of my game. The cas.fulleditmode cheat does not stay active after I exit the game so I do have to re-enter it every time I play.

Much of what you are describing does sound like it could be related to the new N.A.P. system from Eco Lifestyle. I don't think they are necessarily considered to be bugs because they are by design, though I would definitely agree that the NAP system could use some tweaking (some of it might be so far out of control that yeah maybe they are considered to be bugs?). For now I keep NPC voting for NAPs disabled in my game options so I can have full control of which NAPs are active in my Sim's neighborhood. There are several NAPs that I personally choose to avoid. You do have the option to shift + click on one of the community voting boards or a mailbox and instantly repeal any NAPs you don't want active in your game. According to the patch release notes there was some kind of change made today on how NPCs follow enacted policies in their home neighborhoods. I'm still trying to figure out exactly how this affects the game (to me the patch notes were a little confusing on this issue) but this might make things a lot better. I'm sure the Eco Lifestyle still has things that need improvement, but by choosing which NAPs I want active and disallowing any I wish to avoid (for now) I am very much enjoying playing this pack.

@billybobjoesuzy Are you playing on a PC, a Mac, or a console (XBox One or PS4)? If you restart the game do you still have that error?
When using the cas.fulleditmode cheat, you have to have testingcheats enabled first. After you enter the cas.fulleditmode cheat there won't be any message in the cheat window there are for some other cheats like bb.moveobjects. The only difference you'll see in your game is you'll have more options in CAS to edit pre-existing Sims. The cas.fulleditmode cheat does not stay active after you exit the game.
