Police Station Bug

I got Get to Work a few weeks ago, and the first time I went to the police station, everything looked and worked well. Then, the next time I went, the bulletin board was jumbo-sized and blocking the ...

    @jpellowe Did you manage to get rid of your cork boards? If not, try this one:

    ① Go to work and enter the police station

    ② Enable debug mode by pressing ctrl + shift + c and typing in "TestingCheats on"

    ③ Next, type in "bb.enablefreebuild" in order to unlock hidden build mode

    ④ You should now be able to go into build mode and delete the giant cork boards

    Keep in mind that using cheats may mess up your game at any time so make sure you keep backups of your "saves", "Tray" and "Screenshots" folders. Saving the current status of your police station onto your Library (Gallery) might be also a good idea.

@jpellowe Shift click in debug mode duplicates objects. Try using "[" (left square bracket) on the object in order to make them smaller in size. Correspondingly "]" (right square bracket) is for enlarging them. Aside from that, how did you get those jumbo cork boards to begin with? Did you modify them at any time?

Thanks for the reply! I tried the [ strategy, but because we can't go into build mode in the work locations, I wasn't successful. 

To answer the other question - I didn't do anything to get the first jumbo board. It just magically appeared the second time I ever visited the police station, and the second appeared when I tried to fix the first one with the debug option. 

Do you have any other recommendations? Thank you!

    @jpellowe I was able to recreate your giant objects issue. Here is how to get rid of those.

    ① Go into debug mode by pressing ctrl + shift + c

    ② Type in "TestingCheats on" in order to enable debug mode

    ③ Move your Sim into a position where you can see both the giant cork board and your Sim (see DebugMode01.jpg)

    ④ Shift + click on your Sim and click on "Reset Object (Debug)" (see DebugMode02.jpg)

    ⑤ If this doesn't work, shift + click on the cork board and select "Set as Head" before executing above ④

    I am playing the Japanese version but you should have the same interactions available in your language.

        @19DebbieB62 Ok, then shift + click on a different object (on your lot) and click "Set as Head" which should replace the previous one.

        Edited: Never mind, ignore above as there seems to be a different issue with the "Set as Head" cheat.
