Hi! Over the past few days, my cheats have slowly stopped working. Last night I couldn't even do sims.fill_all_commodities. I don't use cheats often outside of cas.fulleditmode, freerealestate on, and sims.fill_all_commodities (and obviously testingcheats true/on/enable). It also won't let me turn off free build mode. I've cleared my cache, restarted my computer, repaired the game, flushed my DNS, but nothing is working. I've been reading through the forum questions here, but haven't found a solution that works. I contacted EA for help and they just sent a link to flush my DNS. I'm contacting again, but haven't heard back yet. Please help!

I've moved your posts to the General Discussion forum for broader help than you would receive in the Mac tech forum. No need to create multiple posts on the same issue 🙂
In the meantime, have you tried a new clean game by moving your Sims 4 folder to the desktop so the game creates a new one?
Oops sorry! I'm new to the forum and was confused, thank you for your help! And would that wipe my progress? How would I do that without losing what I've built? Thank you so much for responding!
Okay I moved my caves and a few other files into the new folder, and started the game up, but it still won't let me do the cheats ☹️ I don't know why some cheats work and some don't. Like motherlode still works, but using sims.fill_all_commodities and turning off freebuildmode won't work. What is your next recommendation? Thank you for helping me out! That guide was very clear even if it didn't work in my particular case.
Edit to add: This exact same thing happens in my different world saves. I checked an old game that I hadn't played since 2019, and these few cheats also wouldn't work there.
