How to use locked Create a Sim (CAS) items in The Sims 4
If you buy a new Expansion, Game, Stuff Pack, or new Kit for The Sims 4, one of the first things you’ll likely do is check on all of the items that come with that Pack to see if they’re everything you hoped they would be.
Recommended VideosHowever, a lot of these new items are often locked behind gameplay and only accessible once you’ve completed certain objectives within the game. This can be pretty annoying, but there are ways around it — cheats.
The cheats for unlocking Build and Buy objects are pretty well known at this point, but just in case, here are the cheats you need to use to unlock items in Build and Buy:
- “testingcheats true”
- “bb.ignoregameplayunlocksentitlement”
It’s that simple. After inputting the two cheats above, you’ll be able to place any previously objective-locked item into the world, just as though you managed to unlock it the more ‘official’ way.
How to unlock locked Create a Sim (CAS) in The Sims 4
Screenshot by DestructoidUnlocking locked CAS items is slightly more complicated, because there isn’t a cheat to unlock all of them in one fell swoop. Instead, you need to have an understanding of Pack codes. With so many packs already released for The Sims 4 and more to come, there are a lot of codes to remember.
If you want to unlock items in CAS, you will need to own the pack itself, and then you’ll need to enter CAS and input the following cheats:
- “testingcheats true”
- “cas.unlockbytag [Pack code]”
The ‘[Pack code]’ part will need to be replaced with a particular code (listed below) and then, if you’ve input it correctly, locked CAS items from that Pack will become available to look at and use. If done correctly, a list of unlocked items will appear in the console (shown above).
All The Sims 4 pack codes
Screenshot by DestructoidCodes for Packs in The Sims 4 are split into three types:
- EP codes: Expansion Packs
- GP codes: Game Packs
- SP codes: Stuff Packs, Kits, Creator Kits
- FP codes: Free Packs
Each Pack has a specific number attached to it, and that code is what you’ll need to input in the above “cas.unlockbytag” cheat to unlock CAS items that are otherwise only opened via gameplay achievements. The number for each Pack increases chronologically by the date that the Pack was released.
Here’s the full list of codes available for use with this cheat:
