I use MCCC and i have CAS full edit on by default along with debug cheats, this way i don't have to keep exiting to manage worlds to get into a household to edit, i can just go it from a dresser or modify in CAS by MCCC, from there i can readily change everything about a sim. Exactly as Dawaterrat hinted at.
With the debug i only need to shift click a sim to change other settings on a sim, but even then MCCC doesn't have all the reach i'd like and in some cases bringing up the cheat console is sometimes the best way to go.
