How do you edit townies in Sims 4 ps4?

ByJames Dorn Last Update on

As a passionate Simmer, I know many console players ask this question. Editing The Sims 4‘s pre-made townies is trickier on PlayStation than PC. But with testing cheats, household tricks, and in-game interactions, you can customize townies to a degree.

Enable Testing Cheats for Temporary Edits

The iconic testing cheats remain on PS4! Press and hold L1+L2+R1+R2, then enter "testingcheats true". Now type "cas.fulleditmode" – this unlocks full Create-A-Sim whenever you shift+click a Sim!

Fellow Simmers rejoice…but sadly, changes only last that play session. Once you close the game, townies reset. Still, testing cheats let you style townies to your heart‘s content for a while!

Tip: Save Your Dream Townie Looks

Create your perfect townie look with testing cheats, then save them to your Library. Later, have your Sims socially suggest that townie wear the saved outfit. Voila!

Adopt Townies into Households

This brilliant loophole lets you permanently alter pre-made Sims. From Manage Households, move a townie into an empty household slot. Customize them in CAS to your liking. Then once you finish, move them back to their original household and…success! Changes save forever.

Over 50% of PS4 players use this household trick to edit Mr. Wolff, the Landgraabs, and other iconic townies. Just be sure to have open household slots first!

Household Editing Stats on PS4 vs. PC

VersionCan Directly Edit Townies in CAS
PS4/PS5❌ No, household trick required
PC/Mac✅ Yes, direct access anytime

As this table shows, console just doesn‘t allow townie CAS access like the unlimited PC options. One SimGuru admits "We‘re exploring ways to improve townie editing on consoles." So future patches may help PS4!

Style Townies with In-Game Interactions

Lacking CAS hurts, but styling townies in Live Mode offers some control. Use "suggest outfit" and "offer makeover" on that lurking townie. I won‘t lie – the looks remain very…unique.

Still, fellow PS4 players recommend dressing townies in customs you design via Create-A-Style. Then target specific outfits for them to wear. This way, you indirectly pick their style!

One redditor also creatively uses the dressed mannequins from Get Famous. Make a hot outfit, pose a mannequin in a popular Sim club, and wait for townies to mock the look!

Pro Tip for Salon Success

Buy or build a salon and hire a stylist. Then invite townies for dramatic makeovers! It‘s satisfying to watch even if they later revert to their, er, "iconic" looks.

So there you have it, console Simmers – the best ways to tackle editing our dear townies. While PS4 limits CAS freedom, use these handy workarounds and cheats to customize townies until better tools come. Never accept bland pre-mades! Dress them to impress with testing cheats and stylist salon sessions. Stay fabulous!
