Having trouble using bb.moveobjects. Help?

Hi! I cannot for the life of me get bb.moveobjects to work. I do shift-control-c, enter the cheat & get confirmation that it is turned on. Then, nothing happens. Even if I am in a downloaded room that was made with bb.moveobjects, I can't switch out objects (ex: a small teddy bear for a toy truck).

Here is a picture: Shouldn't I be able to put the pencil cup on the blank space of the console?


  • If there is no slot for an object on a surface, bb.moveobjects won't change that. In order to put the object on the surface that doesn't have a slot for it, use CTRL+9 to elevate its height to the height of the surface and then place it.
  • Yes, there are surfaces like that where it looks like there should be plenty of room for more objects, but they only have slots in certain areas. MOO + height adjustment (CTRL+9) to the rescue! Hope it worked out for you. :)
  • @BryonyRae its a handy technique, however what purpose does holding ctrl serve? I don't need to press that, only 9 to go up and 0 to go down.
  • I use CTRL+9 because I also set up camera states in TAB mode, which use the 5-9 keys. If I just press 9, it shifts my view rather than elevating an object. For those who don't use the camera states, just using the 9 or 0 should work fine. :)

    Hello @makamadafaka
    Repairing the game may help. To do that, go to games library in Origin, right click on the sims 4 picture and click repair.

    Try testing in a different lot and see if the issues remain.

    Try deleting the cache files,

    Then try starting a fresh new save game and see if it occurs there also.
  • Aha! I didn't know about CTRL+9. I will try that, thank you! I am trying for the empty slot on top of the console. It won't let me put things there normally. Only the slot where the towels are is active.
