Some things just need to stay the size they were made apparently. Do note that whilst it works on most objects, it doesn’t always work on things that have lights on them - like certain TVs - and doesn’t work at all on mirrors or windows. It helps a lot with builds in general, and I’ll be telling you how to use this effectively a little bit later on. A lot of you will probably know this, but you can make items bigger or smaller using the square bracket keys on your keyboard. This leads us on nicely to some keyboard shortcuts. It’s a long one, I misspell it so often too, but it’s so, so worth it for the Deep Thoughts Bookcase. What isn’t there a cheat for? You’ll want to use “bb.ignoregameplayunlocksentitlement”. Luckily for you, there’s a cheat for that. So grab what you need when you see it.Īnd finally, have you ever been scrolling through the catalogue only to see an item you really want, but it’s a new save, or you don’t play in live mode anymore, and it’s an item locked behind a specific career? I’m looking at you Deep Thoughts Bookcase. The debug menu is mostly unsearchable, and un-cloneable. You’ll want to use “bb.showliveeditobjects” for this, but make sure you’ve inputted the first two cheats for this one to work. From fencing to water towers, or even train tracks, you can really level up your build with some of these items.

The next will allow you to use all of the props you see in the different worlds in your actual builds. To access this use “bb.showhiddenobjects” and then search “debug” and click any of the “debugs” you see as a result. Note that when uploading this to the gallery to share with other simmers, some of these will not transfer. One includes all of the things that your sims can essentially pull out of their arses - I mean, pockets? - like toothbrushes, or food items. If you press alt with this enabled, this allows you to move objects off grid, move them through walls, move them super close to each other, and just make your builds look more “realistic” rather than… Sim-y.Īnother pair of console commands you should bear in mind are the two that unlock all debug items in the game - this means you can access items that are otherwise not in the catalogue. The most important one, in my opinion, is “bb.moveobjects”. You’ll want to type in “testingcheats true”, which will allow a lot of cheats to activate, and also help you out with some cheats in live mode. It’ll bring up a box you can type in in the top left corner. To open the console, hit control, shift, and C. Let’s kick things off with some console commands you should probably almost definitely use every time you build.
