cas.fulleditmode (and others cheats) not working?

Hello! 

I recently downloaded High School Years as well as some game packs and kits. I also have mods enabled, but I'd like to point out this issue is happening with or without them enabled.

The "cas.fulleditmode" cheat isn't working for me. Here are my steps:

1. control + shift + C

2. testingcheats true OR testingcheats on

3. cas.fulleditmode

4. Shift + click on sim

5. Click "Modify in Cas"

Nothing happens! I wait for the screen to load me into cas, and nothing happens! In addition, NONE of the other cheats are working! I found this article stating that this could be due to the new patch as of Jan 2023:

https://www.thatvideogameblog.com/cas-full-edit-mode-sims-4/

Could this be part of the issue? Is this happening to anyone else?

Please help! It's disappointing to spend hundreds of dollars on this game and not be able to play it how I like. ☹️

Thanks in advance!

    Does it happen if you go into CAS from Manage Household or using a MIrror or Dresser in Live mode?  And if you are using MCCC, do the CAS options in MCCC cause the same thing?

    Hope this helps.

    Hi!

    I’m on PS4 and have most of the packs.

    cas.fulleditmode is not working!

    also, testing cheats is not needed for cas.fulleditmode but it IS needed to shift click. 

    I know this for a fact. 

    I am on generation 10 in my legacy save and I have used cas.fulleditmode in every generation, I am a rotational player so I use this cheat frequently to adjust my storyline. I achieved my tenth generation trophy in this save a few months ago so I know for certain testing cheats isn’t active in this save. 

    I don’t even have a save with testing cheats active because I’ve never needed too. Lol 

    regardless, cas.fulleditmode isn’t working anymore, I’ve tried multiple times and my game is up to date. 

    I haven’t played since the for rent release so I’m not sure when this started, I do know I used it the last time I was playing which was November. 

    I have played the Sims 4 for years and used this cheat, so please don’t suggest it’s something I’m doing because I pulled out my old cheat notes, I know how to use this cheat, it’s NOT WORKING.. Lol

    Did you enter the code while in CAS? If so you need to enter it before entering CAS. It is an easy mistake to make. But yes. most CAS and BB cheats (all?) do not require testingcheats true.

    Hi, thanks for responding to my comment. 

    yes, I did enter it before going into CAS… I followed the same steps I always do which is why I came to EA HQ to see if anyone else has this problem.. 

    it’s never been an issue before now.. 

    I will add that the EA built lot I’m playing on (the household with this issue) isn’t working right and when I say that … I mean something is really wrong. 
    it may be because this save is on its 11 generation and I play rotationally? 
    I’ve played on this lot before and not had any of these issues. 
    my bills were only $288 AND the house value is showing at under $30k ALSO when objects breaks I can’t replace them or place anything in my inventory.. I have to go to build mode to delete the object and then replace it.. for reference it’s one of the largest ea builds in the game .. Von-Windenburg estate. 

    I’m thinking it’s probably related to this now glitched lot? .. I’m on PlayStation so I can’t trouble shoot my save files.. I will try cas.fulleditmode on a different household again to test that. 
    I gave up for this household lol 

    I added in a child from my library, edited the relationships and when I went into the game she shows properly to two of three family members.. one of her twin brothers shows her as a half sister while his twin shows her as a sister.. it’s why I wanted to edit this household to begin with. Lol 

    I’m just going to leave it .. it’s weird but whatever. 🤷🏼‍♀️😂
