# Sims 4 cheat to unlock all build mode items

> Use bb.ignoregameplayunlocksentitlement to unlock locked career and reward items in Sims 4 build mode, and bb.showhiddenobjects for hidden 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

1. **bb.showhiddenobjects** — shows hidden "debug" objects such as extra plants, rocks and props. Search the catalog for "debug" to find them.
2. **bb.showliveeditobjects** — reveals a larger set of objects used to decorate neighborhoods, including trees, rocks and vehicles.
3. **bb.ignoregameplayunlocksentitlement** — unlocks items normally earned through careers or achievements, such as career reward objects.
4. **bb.moveobjects** — lets you place objects freely, overlapping or off-grid. Type it again to switch it off.
5. **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

**Why are some build items still locked after the cheat?**
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.
