Can you use the CAS Full Edit cheat on console?

The answer is yes, CAS Full Edit mode also works on both the Xbox and PlayStation versions of The Sims 4. It’s a little fiddlier to use since you’re using a controller rather than a keyboard and mouse.

It works exactly the same too, but the inputs are slightly different. On console, you’ll need to press both shoulder buttons and both triggers to bring up the dialogue box. That’s LB, LT, RB and RT on Xbox, and L1, L2, R1 and R1 on PlayStation.

Once you’ve activated cheat mode and CAS Full Edit mode, you’ll need to select a Sim to edit. Instead of shift and click, you need to hold down two controller buttons. On PlayStation, it’s circle + X, and on Xbox its B + A.
