The Sims 4 Debug Items Guide

Exploring Hidden Objects in The Sims 4

The Sims 4 conceals a treasure trove of objects termed „Debug Items,“ which stand poised to elevate the aesthetic of any lot. These objects are diverse, ranging from natural elements to urban fixtures – trees, rocks, lamp posts, and street signs. They are primarily decorative, providing intricate details to your environment without the functionality for Sims interaction.

Activating Hidden Objects

Before one can indulge in the utilization of debug items, it’s essential to activate in-game cheats. For PC, the keystrokes are Ctrl+Shift+C, and for Mac users, Command+Shift+C, which brings forth a text box for command entry. The process begins with testingcheats true followed by an acknowledgment that cheats are activated. Then, by entering bb.showhiddenobjects and bb.showliveeditobjects into the box, the once-invisible items become available.

Accessing and Implementing Hidden Objects

Having debug items enabled is just the start. Builders must enter ‚Build mode‘ and utilize the search bar, entering the term „debug“ to bring forth a list of these items. With no categorization, the collection of thousands means users must scroll to discover their desired item, an endeavor leading to the crafting of a unique and meticulously designed lot.

• Steps to activate cheats:
  • Open command box with Ctrl+Shift+C or Command+Shift+C
  • Input testingcheats true
  • Confirm cheats are on
  • Enter bb.showhiddenobjects
  • Include bb.showliveeditobjects
• Finding and using debug items:
  • Switch to ‚Build mode‘
  • Bring up item catalog
  • Search „debug“
  • Scroll through the extensive list to select items

These steps allow Simmers to curate and personalize spaces within The Sims 4, significantly expanding their creative horizon.
