I need help/information from a builder

I am sure my problem will probably simple for many of you, but not for me. I downloaded a house from the gallery and placed it. The spot where the sims land when they would go home or visit is not near a gate. I finally was able to use move lot to rotate it but in the process it took out a piece of hedge that cannot be cloned and I think it is in the debug menu. I can only find one hedge like it in regular but it is too dark and this will make me twitch :(  I have these three commands I put in...

bb.enablefreebuild
bb.moveobjects on
bb.showhiddenobjects

and then I did a search for debug. And this is where I just get completely lost. Nothing is named when you highlight it and from the items I can see, I do not see what I am looking for. I recently was trying to learn about this debug build/buy for some reason I don't remember right now, so I am still clueless. Sadly, this problem is part one. 

Part two is there is a pretty fence the builder put in the front of the house along with a gate that stays open. I need to remove the gate and fill in the fence and you guessed it, can't clone the fence and it seems to be a debug thing too. I don't know if it will be possible to explain how to navigate this to me, but if you think you can I would appreciate it. I started moving my family in and only then realized the problem and had to back out. I just wanna play! Lol. Here is the screenshots

    I am clearly doing something wrong. I do not really have a large lot available to try the lot thing with the platform. So I just went in from my lot to even see if I could locate the fence and hedge and no luck. I don't see them in the places one would normally look for them and tried looking in many places but no luck. Typing debug in the search bar isn't pulling up much. But when looking around I did see items listed as debug. I am clearly missing something and maybe too frustrated with my ignorance too continue tonight. Round 1 right lol 😭

    Thank you!!! I think I can follow this. I did not know about that command you just told me about. I try not to mess with stuff I don't understand for fear of messing up my save I guess. I really appreciate you responding so quickly. I moved my family in and figured I would just leave it be until I could get help. So hopefully I can fix this and then they are going on vacation!

    Hi, you are on the right track and since you have entered some cheats I assume you know how to open up the "cheat bar". ( CTRL-SHIFT-C ) The items you are looking for are located in debug but to have them show up you need to enter bb.showliveeditobjects, then type debug and they will show up after all other objects. If you're not familiar with debug items they will not be easy to find.

    I suggest you place the lot on a larger lot, make a room/platform and add the items to the room. The hedge and fence, fence posts w/e you think you need. It is easy to do if bb.moveobjects is activated and the room doesn't need to be bigger than one square. Then upload your room with the items to your gallery. Now you can go back to your original house, place your room and fix your build how you want it. Good Luck!
