I noticed a lot of people were asking how they can edit their sim from within Sims 3, not only the hair and clothes, but all the facial features.

The quickest way to edit an in-game Sim which includes all facial editing is to press Ctrl Shift C. In the grey bar at the top of Type in 'editsim Joe Soap' (or whatever the person's name is and without the apostrophes) and press enter. Voila, you are back in CAS and can tweak the sim to your heart's content. When you are finished you can press the tick box and voila you are back in the game again with the freshly tweaked sim.

You need awesomemod which you can get here http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/s...ic,15185.0.html

Yeah? OK. But you already posted this in the thread that was already about this and your post just repeats what's already been said and resolved. http://www.modthesims.info/showthre...43&goto=newpost

Sooooo sorry!!!!! I was only trying to bring it to as many people's attention as possible. Really did not need the sarcastic response.

Thanks for posting this, I would not have seen the other thread. I've been wanting to edit my sim but everything I've read so far said that the cheat code to do it was broken. I gather it works then.

It works really well but you must have awesomemod installed. Happy re-Simming!

Another tip if you can't find or grow the life fruit which I couldn't. My daughter was getting desperate to find a 'cure' for her aging sims and came up with the following bright idea.

If you don't want your adult sims to progress to old age, take them back into CAS using above method. Go into section where you can choose age and make the sim a young adult. You might notice that it says you have lost some traits, just ignore that, remember the missing traits and save your sim to the game.

Check the sim's age which should now be down at 0. If you don't see a change right away, click on any other sim and then click back to your modified sim's age, you should see the change then (an empty age bar).

Go back to CAS with your YA Sim and click on 'Adult'. Allocate the lost traits back to your Sim and return to the game.

Click on the age tab and you will see your Sim has all his/her life left. If he/she has a spouse or partner who is also nearing old age, you need to repeat the process.

Ooo...I know this thread is quite old, but this is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks Audrey!

You no longer need Awesomemod to do this. You can also do it with Twallan's supercomputer mod, which is not a core mod and thus doesn't pose the potential conflicts which Awesomemod does (and isn't quite as high maintenance, either ) If Edit In CAS is all you need, it's probably a better choice. You might want to research the various features of the two mods, anyway, before deciding

You can go to a dresser and "bin" the sim from there. then the sim will be in the premade sims list. this is base game and needs no cheats mods ext...

Twallan's supercomputer mod, work with mac because i have Sims 3 Ambitions i want to know how to get that mod to work on my mac i tryed can you send me a mesenge if you know how to do it on a mac i aslo have team viewer on my mac with lets people help with my desktop and flise

nicholas: any .package or Sims3Pack will work on either platform. If you are having trouble getting all cc to show up in your game, please visit the game help section here at MTS (from the top menu Help > Sims 3). If you are merely having problems with one of Twallan's mods, then please seek help at the forum where you downloaded it.

wow i cannont believe why people dont do this haha? thanks dog

How can I "bin" the sim?

Take them to a dresser or mirror and click "Change Appearance".
Once that loads up click the extra options by their portrait and then click "Save Sim to Bin".

This is what I do too, but the tweaks wont take effect until your next game with that sim...or unless you're willing to remove them/replace with the new one.

Take your sim to the dresser, choose 'plan outfit' & that option will take you to the CAS main screen.

hey, can somebody put up a link or directions on how to install the "Twallan's supercomputer mod"? I cant register on the website and all i want to do is be able to edit my existing sims in CAS.

some guidance would be Greatly appreciated!

Twallan's supercomputer is now just Twallan's Master Controller. Google for "Nraas" and you'll find the site it's on. No registration necessary to download, and it installs the same as any .package file.
