How do You do it on the ps5?

[@How_To_Sims]

Since I don't have a ps5 ps4 or xbox I can't make a tutorial video but I will definitely help you! To do this on console is very simple too! First, you need to enable cheats... To do this hold all 4 triggers buttons (all 4 buttons behind your controller) together to open the cheat box (white box that you can write cheats)... When cheat box is opened type testingcheats true and press X button on your controller. (maybe it's cicrle or triangle, I'm not sure) (if testingcheats true doesn't work try: testingcheats on) but after that, a message will appear that says "cheats are enabled". Then type: cas.fulleditmode and again press X button to apply the cheat code... After that, go on a Sim and to do a shift-click on consoles, hold Circle and press X (on PlayStation 4,5) or hold B and press A (on Xbox One). Then the option "modify in CAS" will appear like I showed in the video! After that, follow the video and you should be ready to add your Sim or Sims to your existing household! Thank you for your support to my channel!

[@chayeahpuddin]

Can I edit one existing sim in the game like rename the sim's name and change the sim's appearance?

[@How_To_Sims]

Yes you can! Using this cheat I showed in the video you can actually fully edit an existing Sim!

[@baseheadattack]

does this only work if you already have multiple people in ur household ?

[@How_To_Sims]

This will work even if you have just one sim!

[@Fairythebestie]

I have added new sims but I want them to be my other sims family . How can I do that ?

[@How_To_Sims]

You need to switch control to your other family (control the sims in the family you want to add the sim) and follow the video!

[@chloeannmarie6024]

I did this but it added the sim to an existing household that wasn’t mine, I’m so confused 😩 (Xbox one)

[@How_To_Sims]

Thats indeed weird... You started to follow my video and the steps I showed from your current household in Live mode right? (when you control your Sims). I suggest to watch my video again carefully and try again. I know it's a bit different from consoles but it's a similar process.

[@chloeannmarie6024]

The cheats were definitely enabled, but I didn't hold shift. I'll try that. Thanks.

Are you playing from windows or mac pc/laptop? You need to press CTRL + SHIFT + C at the same time and not 1 button each time! Also, try this when you are in live mode (while you controlling your Sims).
