Stop Making Cas Unlocks!

Don't really understand why they do this. There's a mod to unlock them but I think it's broken.

Nope! :smiley:

Agreed. Tired of CAS items being locked behind careers. I want access to all of the clothing, but I don't want my sims to have to go through (or cheat levels in) every career to do that. If it's possible, I think a cheat would be the best solution. That way they can still have their career unlocks, and those of us who can't be bothered with them can cheat everything to be unlocked at once.

The fashionable items shouldn’t be hidden at all. I get the locked aspect, not a fan personally, but there’s a problem when this content isn’t even displayed in the catalog. I had no idea that there was a baret in CL because I couldn’t ever find it, turns out it’s hidden behind a career. They chose to put all of the locked content in build/buy in the catalog even though it’s locked. I just think a little better visibility would improve this for players who want to unlock content and would honestly help in telling players that content exists.

I'd also like everything unlocked. I do understand some like gameplay like this though.. so I think at least an easy to use cheat would be good for those that don't want to go through all that to use it in their games.

I don't think removing any kind of "reward" is a good idea, especially if the solution is that simple ( as @paradiseplanet stated twice).

I hate when they do that as well. It wouldn't bother me if we had a cheat to unlock them like in Build Mode. I don't really care if Build Mode items are locked or not since there's a cheat to unlock them all, but not for CAS. I know there's a mod for that, but it bothers me that the unlocked items get a wrench icon as if they were CC when they're not.

Do you all know that once you unlock an outfit with any sim, it becomes permanently available to every sim in that same save?

Not trying to be a smarta$$ here, it just seems to me that some people don't realise this and think they have to unlock those outfits individually for all sims.

I’m pretty sure they unlock by household.

Nope.

Look at this sim wearing an outfit from the top of the astronaut career, with several unlocked outfits from the GTW careers availabe to the right (and many from other careers that just didn't fit on the screenshot). She doesn't have and never had anyone in her household working in any of those careers, the outfits were unlocked by other families in the same save.

You can easily find them in CAS by filtering unlocked outfits.

Well I play multiple saves .. once I've done a career I might not want to revisit it for awhile. Does it unlock for all saves?
I'm not up in arms against this system by the way... I just want a cheat.

They could tie the unlocks to achievements and make them unlocks for your game regardless of saves or households or whatever. A cheat would work as well I guess.

Once you have used Fogity's mod you can remove it and save the houshold a second time. You will keep the unlocked items but the new household will not get the wrench icon.
