    Can't edit townies using cas.fulleditmode anymore?

    If I recall... you could enter the cas.fulleditmode cheat, shift-click on any sim, whether they were in your household or not, and edit them directly in CAS.

    Since the patch, I don't seem to be able to do this anymore. I'd aged up a male townie child with the birthday cake on the same day my child was aging up. Unfortunately, the male teens getting female voices hasn't gotten fixed yet, but I thought, no problem, I'll just use the cheat and change his voice. It does take me into CAS -- but for the household, not the townie. I seem to recall I was able to do this directly before.

    I know I can go into manage households and edit the townie that way, but that takes a lot more clicks :(

      Did you put in "testingcheats on" before putting in the full edit cheat? That's what enables the shift + click.

      Edit: nvm. Reread your post. Sounds like you're doing it correctly, hmm. I'll have to try this out in my game

      Okay, so I just tried this in my game, and the same exact thing happened to me. I went in as the Munch family, went to a community lot, entered the cheat, tried editing Raj Rasoya, and CAS brought me to the Munch family instead.

      This sounds like a bug, then. I think this is an officially supported cheat? But maybe not. Might be worth reporting at http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4-Bug-Reports/bd-p/The-Sims-4-Bugs anyway, and in Bugs here.

      Yes its broken. Right after i installed the patch yesterday first thing i did was go into the game and saw a sim walking down the street in ugly clothes. As always i tried to edit her and it kept taking my household into CAS instead. I checked online this morning and saw peopke on other sites reporting this issue as well. Annoying. I liked editing townies because some of the male townies had female swimsuits on in CAS and i had to change them. Plus I liked editing the townies formal clothing for weddings.

      Has anyone had a chance to check if the MC Command Center function for opening a townie etc. in CAS is working?

      I've also noticed (since way before the patch) that if I go into CAS to edit a family that I actively play, but while playing a different one, once I leave CAS, all of the sudden I'm controlling the household of the sim I just edited. Hope I described that okay, lol.

      That use to happen to me a long time ago but then it stopped. I had guessed that they patched it seeing as I haven't had that issue in awhile.

      Can you PLEASE look into BOTH glitches that were addressed in this post!? Not only is "cas.fulleditmode" not working, but the teen males having female voices by default is also VERY annoying... please fix that issue as well. It's been there for months without being looked into or addressed by the developers... and MANY people have been complaining about it.

      Yes @SimGuruNick this is rather annoying.

      If you use MCCC to edit a townie and there is more than one in a household, don't it always take you to family in CAS. It always has for me if there is more then one in an household.

      As far as my limited testing goes, using the 'On-Sim' MC Menu to edit an NPC works as it is supposed to. I have been to CAS and back with several NPCs that were wandering about.

      If I use Shift+Click to bring up the testing cheats Pie Menu and try edit the NPC in CAS, then I get sent to the Active Household in CAS and not the NPC even with MC loaded.

      Yeah when I used the cheat code and not the mod I couldn't even shift-click on the sim when using the cas.fulleditmode. The mod works just fine though even without the cheat code.

      It did not take me to the family of the townie I was trying to edit. It took me to my own active family.

      I understand what you mean now. For me I don't even have the option to click on the Sim. I can hover over them and interact with them in live mode. but once I put in the cheat code and use shift, I can't click on them.

      Yes, that still does work. I did that when I wasn't able to use the cheat. But I do hope they fix the cheat, it's a lot faster.

      So currently, there's no way to CAS-edit sims that are not members of the active family? No workarounds? Neither MC nor normal cheats will do it?
