Sims 4 cheat to unlock all build mode items
The Sims 4 cheat that unlocks locked build mode items, such as career and reward objects, is bb.ignoregameplayunlocksentitlement. Open the cheat console with Ctrl + Shift + C (Cmd + Shift + C on Mac; on consoles, press all four shoulder buttons together), type the cheat and press Enter; add bb.showhiddenobjects or bb.showliveeditobjects to reveal hidden debug and decorative objects too. These cheats are official and work in normal saves; note that using cheats can block achievements for that session.
Useful build cheats
- bb.showhiddenobjects — shows hidden "debug" objects such as extra plants, rocks and props. Search the catalog for "debug" to find them.
- bb.showliveeditobjects — reveals a larger set of objects used to decorate neighborhoods, including trees, rocks and vehicles.
- bb.ignoregameplayunlocksentitlement — unlocks items normally earned through careers or achievements, such as career reward objects.
- bb.moveobjects — lets you place objects freely, overlapping or off-grid. Type it again to switch it off.
- bb.enablefreebuild — lets you build on lots that are normally locked, such as some special venues.
Tips
- Enter one cheat at a time and press Enter after each.
- If items do not appear, close and reopen the build catalog, or type the cheat again.
- Debug objects may not have collision or may disappear on some lots; use them as decoration.
- Some cheats only last until you exit the game, so you need to enter them again each session.
FAQ

Cheats only unlock items from the base game and packs you own. Items from expansion, game or stuff packs you haven't bought stay unavailable.
How do I unlock locked career items in build mode?
Use bb.ignoregameplayunlocksentitlement in build mode to make career and reward objects available.
How do I move objects freely?
Turn on bb.moveobjects, and hold Alt while placing to ignore the grid.
Do I need testingcheats for build cheats?
No. The bb. cheats work without testingcheats on.
