Okay so I just played in the new folder for awhile and it seems the cheats like sims.fill_all_commodities + all other cheats work with this new character.

But when I turned on free build mode and turned it off, and tried to edit a neighboring house, I had infinite money again and got the "Household inventory is not available in Free Build mode" thing (which doesn't happen on my played lots). Maybe that free build mode is just automatic on other lots and that one thing I'm being stupid on?

I want to add that I have no mods or cc. I've downloaded a few things from the gallery but that's all the "out of game" stuff I've done.

I've been going through more of your answers to things. Is it possible that I have a corrupted save? Is that fixable? I just want to figure out a way to get the game I've spent 200+ hours on back ☹️

Yes, you may have a corrupted save as the cheats work in a new save and clean game. You could try restoring a previous backup but if the backups are also affected there isn't much you can do https://sims4.crinrict.com/eng/2014/09/save-games/

Hoping someone else may be able to help with the free build mode issue, it's not a cheat I use.
